I've made 2 tools for you guys to use when making skins for 0.4b+
In order for skins to show in Aurora they need to have 2 files:
a preview image named preview.dds, this needs to be a 256x144 Headered DXT5 image, for that i present to you: DDSConverter.rar
a data/meta file named skin.meta containing details about your skin; who made it? what's it's name? what version is it for? etc. etc. for that i present to you: SkinMetaGenerator.rar
Any questions? feel free to ask me! any bugs? report
