Like i say you need to edit the .obj file's materials and then recompile the xmodel export then put it in assman

Actually, you can open the xmodel_export file with a text editor (Word) and then replace the material name, which is at the very end of the file. Look for a line similar to this

MATERIAL 0 "mtl_ford_rmp_d" "Phong" "bhd_ford_rmp_d.tga"

then replace the first name that's in the quotation marks (this is the material name, that needs to be the same as the material in Asset Manager); then replace the last name in quotation (this is the texture name); you should have something like this in the end

MATERIAL 0 "skull_red" "Phong" "skull_red.tga"

15:12] #Afterlife.Overlord: right now open it with notepad++
[15:13] ManicKiller (Steve): what one Exoprt
[15:13] #Afterlife.Overlord: go all the way down to the bottom
[15:13] #Afterlife.Overlord: and see MATERIAL 0 "mtl_x2icon_gold" "" "..\images\x2_icon_c.dds"
[15:13] #Afterlife.Overlord: change mtl_x2icon_gold to what ever your new texture will be called
[15:13] #Afterlife.Overlord: and x2_icon_c.dds to the file name of the texture
[15:14] #Afterlife.Overlord: then in assmanager you need to create a texture with the name of the changed mtl_x2icon_gold
[15:14] #Afterlife.Overlord: and the texture to be the texture in the image file you created
[15:14] #Afterlife.Overlord: save and compile the new version
[15:14] #Afterlife.Overlord: and your done
[15:15] ManicKiller (Steve): so if i call material silver i make it as silver ?
[15:16] #Afterlife.Overlord: so if you change mtl_x2icon_gold to silver you would have to change that in the xmodel to silver
[15:16] ManicKiller (Steve): MATERIAL 0 "silver"..\images\silver
[15:16] #Afterlife.Overlord: you need the .dds
[15:16] #Afterlife.Overlord: so MATERIAL 0 "silver"..\images\silver.dds
[15:16] ManicKiller (Steve): yea go silver dds
[15:16] ManicKiller (Steve): do i change the skull1.gtd fiel?
[15:16] ManicKiller (Steve): file
[15:16] #Afterlife.Overlord: open it up
[15:17] #Afterlife.Overlord: then select the material
[15:17] #Afterlife.Overlord: and rename it to silver
[15:17] #Afterlife.Overlord: then change the colourmap to the texture you made
[15:18] #Afterlife.Overlord: then the model zombie_skull needs renaming to what ever
[15:18] #Afterlife.Overlord: and the filename needs changing to zombie_skull1.xmodel_Export or what ever you called it
[15:18] #Afterlife.Overlord: then compile your material
