Need help with skinning please!

Post by Crf150rbProTaper. »

I am attempting to put my number and name on a gear set using PhotoShop, it looks fine in photoshop, (numbers on back lined up perfectly) but when i go to use the gear in game, it is completely messed up, the gear is really distorted, logos everywhere, boots everywhere. I would upload a photo but im not sure how. It is my first time trying to skin. The file is a PNG and it is titled "rider_body-My Gear"
Any help appreciated
Thanks :?

you need to put the model name in.
If the model name was 'rider_body-p2sta3.jm' then you gear name should be 'rider_body-p2sta3-My Gear.png'

Ok, so i tried again, i named it "rider_body-p2sta3-My Gear.png" now when i go to use it in game, it just shows up with the default gear when it loads up

I said 'if the model name was'. You need the correct model, and to name it correctly.

Yeah sorry man i had a stupid moment.
I found the model and named it correctly (i think) its named "rider_body-Shift Strike-Glory-My Gear". It shows up with the correct model in game now but everything is still in the wrong spot, for example the soles of my boots are showing up on my riders back.
