How to extract a Skin

[Marko]

I am working on a border clash mission between USSR and PLA forces set in the late sixty's

We have some nice skins for the vehicles I would like to use the new north Korean inf skins for the PLA/CN forces as there current camo for the PLA is to modern.

How do I extract the skin form the KP file and use it as a mod in the CN one.

The Bolton clan offers tutorials on that. They are a horrid bunch, however.

CN uses the interceptordress infantry model. KP uses the new Uniform1970 RU. So you can't do a straight skin swap. Simplest workaround would be to (at least temporarily) put your desired Chinese vehicle skins in the KP mod folder and select KP for the look of the party playing PLA. That party would then have Chinese vehicle skins and North Korean infantry skins. (Except in the case of vehicle crews ... which is a buggy bag of worms, so I won't get into that.)

By the way, re-reading this I see it comes off as a bit harsh. I meant to say it was buggy and a can of worms to explain. But I just got a look at the 4.004 release notes (and confirmed in game) that the issue with vehicle crews was fixed at the last minute. So ignore that.
