WinZip will extract the files to a folder of your choosing. When the files are extracted, you ll notice two different file types, .PNG and .BM8. This tutorial will show you how to take your edited skin and make it display in the game.
Lets start with an actual skin file.
All skins you edit must follow the same name form as the skin you edited. These files are the same as the other .PNG files, with the exception of their canvas size. The 512 .PNG files are 512x512 pixels for hi resolution skins. All skins that are to be displayed in the game must be 256x256 pixels like the one to the left, or 512x512 for hi res skins. Now once you edit your skin set, you need to place them in a skins folder which you ll need to create yourself.
