That new picture looks better Lightspeed, with the “talking to” bit now all showing.
Ive never used a skin builder; I didn’t know there was such a thing.
I open the .uhp in notepade and edit it by hand, if you look in an open uhp file you will see there is a description of what ever thing does in there.
I make the images in photoshop and a program called fireworks.
You might also need the MakeTran.exe to make any clear or transparent parts, I believe that is found in the skins folder in Hal but im not sure about that, I made my first skin about 5 years ago and I can’t remember where I found the MakeTran.exe
