Hey guys!

Okay so I have been working on this project off and on. I had skins done, but I made new ones recently, since I actually put a little bit more time and effort into making these new ones.

I followed this as guided:
http://torchmodders.com/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to_make_new_character_skins

Now for some reason, when I view the character... well he is '****'.
No new skin!
The files are .PNG as all the skins are, what can be the problem?

Thanks,

Here files from tutorial. I just checked - it works.
It's really a simple mod with 3 files. 

You need something like this:

Moreover, you can use [FEATURE] for additional coloring (you can make scars, tattoos, etc.) 
[WARDROBES]
[FEATURE]
<STRING>TYPE:HEAD
<STRING>NAME:FEMALE TATTOO 1
<STRING>BODYBLEND:media/wardrobe/human/TATTOO1_F.png
<INTEGER64>GUID:3103890
<STRING>CLASS:Est_F
[/FEATURE]
[/WARDROBES]
Result and texture:



Maybe I'm using this to make some steampunk superhero like Zorro. 

What about other Features? do the numbers mean something? 1, 2, and 3?

Well, I use different names.
ADVENTURERFEMALEPANTS
MAGEMALEPANTS
MAGEFEMALECHEST
FEMALE TATTOO 1
MALEHAIR DWARF 1
In this case, the name is not important. But there are some unique cases for some parts of the wardrobe(Helmet, Backpack).

Skin 2:

Spoiler (hover to show)

This is an original or compressed file? You do not have an alpha channel.
I added an alpha channel and I have this:

Spoiler (hover to show)

It works for me. 
Try my texture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwZNatjl1ZmpYk9oUHlfRExhWHM/view?usp=sharing

Both of these do not show up on the character at all. They just look like this in game:

I think you're doing something wrong. Check the tutorial step by step. And show your files, perhaps a wrong code.

what program did you use to create your texture?
alpha channels are accessed differently for each type of program, for example in Photoshop a tab next to the layers, marked as "channels" will let you create an alpha channel for your image and fill it out.

as for what alpha channels actually are.. here's the most simple explanation i can give you, without going into too much detail:
they determine a textures transparency(see through/not see through) based on a gradient(black-white) adding solid black will make a texture transparent while white will make it opaque, all the other gradients in between, such as 50% gray will determine how transparent a texture is.

there are many more nuances and settings for you to learn about alpha channels, like how they interact with additive textures, different types of compressions(.DDS and their settings, PNG24 and PNG8) and changes to material files, but for now stick with the basics.
i know that's kinda a lot to take in

but..

ive seen your project and you seem to be ambitious so i recommend you to download Kva's example file and dissect the contents, study extensively and learn about these things, since it will be far easier to push forward when you know everything of the top of your head. 

It is curious that in Photoshop, this channel is displayed at me differently for DDS and PNG files.

all photoshop files can display alpha channels, but png and dds files are some of the few file types which can save the transparency you get from using alpha channels. they are used mainly because of their small file sizes. most commercial games use the alpha channel trick to trim small amounts of textures from flat surfaces or emulate fine detail like hairs on a character, this includes Tl2 where it is used mostly on weapons and monsters with a lot of hair detail(werewolves)
