# Custom Skins

## Add New Skins

To add a new skin, follow these steps.

***

### Step 1 - Create Texture

Create a seamless weapon texture.

Recommended:

```txt
1024x1024
2048x2048
```

***

### Step 2 - Create .ytd

Import your texture into OpenIV and create a `.ytd` file.

Requirements:

```txt
Texture name: diffuse
Format: DXT5
Mipmaps: enabled
```

***

### Step 3 - Put File Into Stream

Place your file here:

```txt
stream/skin_newskin.ytd
```

Important:

* The file name becomes the skin identifier

Example:

```txt
skin_newskin
```

***

### Step 4 - Add to Config

Open:

```txt
config.lua
```

Add inside:

```lua
Config.Skins = {
}
```

Example:

```lua
["skin_newskin"] = {
    label = "New Skin",
    price = 500,
    rarity = "legendary",
    description = "Description here",
    allowedCategories = {"pistol", "smg", "rifle", "shotgun", "sniper"}
},
```

***

### Field Explanation

#### label

```lua
label = "New Skin"
```

#### price

```lua
price = 500
```

#### rarity

```lua
rarity = "legendary"
```

Options:

```txt
common
rare
epic
legendary
mythic
```

#### description

```lua
description = "Description here"
```

#### allowedCategories

```lua
allowedCategories = {"pistol", "smg", "rifle"}
```

***

### Full Example

```lua
["skin_obsidian"] = {
    label = "Obsidian Black",
    price = 650,
    rarity = "epic",
    description = "Dark polished obsidian finish",
    allowedCategories = {"pistol", "smg", "rifle", "shotgun"}
},
```

***

### Important

Make sure:

```txt
- .ytd file name matches config skin key
- texture inside .ytd is named diffuse
- category list is correct
```

Example match:

```txt
stream file: skin_obsidian.ytd
config key: ["skin_obsidian"]
texture name inside ytd: diffuse
```
