I want to make my own texture (or skin, or whatever it's technically called) for the tank icons when you purchase a vehicle. Don't need anything professional or indeed presentable, hell, I'd be happy with MS Paint scrawled over the icons.
Could someone briefly explain how I'd go about that?

I'm not sure, but you probably have to save them as .dds format. You'll need Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop to save it in that format.
w00t?

all the icons are called hud_cnc_something, you can extract them with the XCC mixer (no need for renX).
yes you'll need photoshop or paint shop pro to save them as those programs contain options like interlace and what DXT format to use. add me to MSN and i'll send you it P2P, it's 160mb
I once tried to give the Nod engineer a cool black jacket and leather trousers, but it turned out horrible.

How does replacing a skin work? When you make a new skin what program do you use? And when you place it in your data folder, does it have to be a certain name?

you can't make or replace a skin, they grow on animals and humans are born with them.
textures on the other hand; to make a texture you must use adobe's photoshop, jasc's paint shop pro or anything that can save a file in dds format. those two are good because you can make good looking textures with them as well as save them in dds.
to make a texture for a westwood model, you must first extract the texture from always.dat. you then open the texture in the appropriate package and modify the parts on it. when you change a part of it, like the arm or head, you only do one half. the game textures the other half with your first half texture.
