oh I remembered, for the instructions below the two files you are looking for are called Upper_diff and Lower_diff

well here comes the "teach a man to fish" desision
I suppose I could do another acr if I get some time this week
alternatively, here are some basic instructions
1. Download an app called GCFScape from "NemsTools"
2. Install and allow to associate with VPKs on the install menu
3. Go into your game files
4. Find insurgency2\insurgency\custom\workshop
5. Find this addon in there and open in GCFScape
6. Go to material/models/weapons and find 2 textures that are called something like acr_upper.vtf
and acr_lower.vtf DO NOT pick the ones that have wm or nm in the name!
7. Open them by double clicking and save to desktop
8.Download an app called VTFedit from "NemsTools"
9.Open VTFedit and click file>open
10. Open one of the .vtfs on your desktop
11. Click file>export
12 export it as a png or tga
13 repeat steps 10-12 for the other vtf file

14. Open the exported images in your favourite editing software, I recommend GIMP or paint.net
15. -Realise how lazy I am when you see the gun skin, edit to your heart's content, trying to figure out what bits go where. By the way the “upper” file is for the “upper receiver” of the gun and the lower is for the “lower receiver”. If you don’t know what that means, it’s a pretty easy google.
16. -Once you’re done, open up VTFedit again, click file>import and navigate to your newly edited png
17. -it will give your some options for importing, ignore them, they are probably all ok
18. -give your computer a second to load, click file>save and save it as a VTF on your desktop
19. - make a folder called custom, in that folder make another called materials, in materials another called models, in models another called weapons in there another called “acr” (I think, whatever the name was of that folder you got the textures from originally)

20. -in there drag in your textures
21. -navigate to your insurgency folder, open insurgency2\bin
22. -drag your newly created custom folder on your desktop into the vpk.exe program in your bin folder.
23. -you’ll notice a .vpk file has been created on your desktop! whoopee!
24. - drag that custom.vpk into your insurgency2\insurgency\custom folder in your game files
25. -Play!

side notes:
it isn’t as daunting as it looks
if my textures are impossible to use, download birghtside’s original tan or black acr and extract the textures from that
if you are on a mac, I think theportingteam have done a mac port of vtfedit and gcfscape
feel free to message me if you get stuck
sorry for the late reply, australians gotta sleep sometimes

give a man a fish and he’ll have food for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll leave you alone for the whole weekend!

Can I make a request for this skin? It's just a texture tweaking.

hi man here is the link and thank you
http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378186017&searchtext=acr

If I could have the link to it, certainly. Just right click the page and click "Copy page URL", then paste it here. I would have to send it to you privately however as I would not own the rights to the origional textures

Hi can i ask you for something there is an acr "white flora" on the workshop could you transfer that skin to this working version of acr ? that one isnt work properly

can you please write that in english? also I havent done any mods for this game in about 6 months. sooooooo probably not if you're asking what i think you're asking

if u can try to make skin for the mosin not painting him but making it another weapon like theres and m40a5 skin but i love the mosin and theres no good skins

kk

thanks it works now

look at the other ACR skin you posted on. I responded there. If you need something fixed, like a genuine issue, please leave more detail than "not working" in your responce. how could i possibly help if thats the information i am supplied with. Ive got no issues helping you out but to do that i need info.

i cant see it

should do :p the mod's first and third person textures are the same so thats a given for all ACR reskins

Would this happen to include world models?

Ok, I figured out what you meant by re release
you mean Mr Brightside's base gun, and you need the re release version. Its not that that is the fault. so im guessing previously you have subscibed to an MK18 skin or mod (includes anything like mk18 skins, attachment changes, night sights, packs that include mk18 inside them. Someone on mr brightsides comments said that their player high res gloves made a possible confliction, so it is hard to tell which mods are compatible or not.

im not sure what you mean by that but it should work if you have met these criteria:
You Need Mr. Brightside's ACR Base For This To Work!
You Cannot Have Any OTHER MK18 Mods Or ACR Skins For This To Work!

If You Have Any More Problems, Leave A Comment And I'll Get Back To You ASAP.

it says it on the new thing from MrBrightside "The ACR-E ReRelease" or something

rerelease version?

for some reason it wont work for me is that because I am using the rerelease version

this is very good

Ok, so i did that now the ACR isnt showing up at all, its just the MK18, its fine though ^-^

Alright, thank you and Merry Christmas.

Go To Your Steam Library: /steamapps/common/insurgency2/insurgency/custom. From here manually clear out any Mk18 textures, possibly in custom or the "workshop" folder within. If that doesnt work get back to me. Merry Christmas.

The gun is not showing up, i played and found this out, so i read over the swep description, so then i checked through and didnt find any MK18 texture changed and i have Mr. Brightside's weapon, what do i do?

kk thanks! sorry for the confusion lol

2.
genuine and legitimate.

well for some reason I don't think you were referring to Jewish food so yes it is "Genuine and Legitimate"

I'm ashamed to say I don't know what 'Kosher' means, so ill assume it means bad. And in that case no. He updated his pack so that the modding community could do reskins. This isn't actually anyone else's content but my own, however you need HIS mod for it to work.

legally speaking is it kosher to post a reskin of mrbrightsides and other modders content?

you should add sound mod

Yeah it works pretty well because I get subscribers from the audience of Mr Brightside, And he gets subscribers from people who want this reskin. So we're all happy!

A reskin for a reskin. Sweet

I got it to work like 5 minutes after i sent the comment XD Great skin keep up the good work.

Scrappy make sure you dont have any conflicting skins such as the base textures from Mr Brightside.

When i use the ACR with this skin on it, it turns the whole gun white, any suggestions on how to fix this?

Aww, you beat me to it! Nice skin! Y'no , I don't like style-esc skins, which focus more on aesthetic rather than something a military would do (digital camo stencils and the like), but this is really awesome.

I'll give it a thumbs, it deserves it.

Could you possibly make a DST marpat skin?

That's got a tall glass of "Call of Duty" next to it, dammit.

Basicly, if you have subbed to an addon previously that would conflict go to your game files, go to 'custom' then 'workshop' and delete old files from in there.

\/!!!!!HOW TO ADD THE SKIN SO IT WORKES FOR SURE!!!!!!\/

For any of the acr skins even the original ones thay have to be moved from the workshop folder to the custom folder (thats the one before you go into the workshop folder), just drag the file and move it to the custom.

FYI unlike other games such as L4D2 and GMod addons you download that are removed from the workshop are not deleated off your system you can easly use them again by moving them out of the workshop folder and into the custom folder!

Hope this helps ;D

Hrmm, @Falconeir, guess I was just super hyped and didn't look into it. Changed it! :)

"Mod of the mod - calling "update" ...usually.

Oh, damn, that's badass.

Thanks!

Awesome stuff :)
