Help with Skin making.

Getting following errors when I click build.

D:\Games\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes 2 Tools\Burn.exe failed with exit code -1073741819.
Error building rus.mod: Burn failed with exit code -1073741819.
Built rus.mod.


and

Error building rus.mod: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index


Thanks for help.

Also it would be nice to see a complete guide from start to very end on how to make skins. Relic and here seem to have incomplete user unfriendly guides. The patch has been out for a while now but only 10 skin mods and hand full of decals. Pretty sad.

Thanks!

Bumping this for you and to CoH2.org!

Here is a nice tutorial for creating Skins by eliw00d for skins.



For information about Decals read here: [Tutorial] Setting up a Decal Pack (Manually)

I hope this will help you.

I'm afraid You'll have to wait for someone with greater knowledge than mine about your mods error issues.

In regards to what has been released so far True skin packs will take time to release as they will be build from the ground up. Personally I have a few different skins in production at the moment which are taking time to get just right. I also have 2 packs of 8 decals to be released sometime this weekend.

Hi!

This is the one I used. For someone who is new to the coh 2 mod tools this guide can be a bit tricky. But way more helpful than what Relic posted. I have a feeling it is difficult to master for a reason.

It would be nice to see someone do a guide from scratch, so we can see where to place edited skin files and all the way to in game preview. Something similar to CSGO skin guides.

Anyway I am stuck with this error.

Thanks for help! Here is what My skin looks like so far. Going for historically accurate skins. This one was used by the Red Guards, in the fall of 1941.

lol @ the QQ part

Both of my tutorials show you where to place the edited skin or decal files.

2:52-5:00

Skins
data\art\armies\<army>\vehicles\<vehicle>\skins\<ModID>_<season>\*.tga

3:05-4:22

Decals
data\art\armies\<army>\badges\<ModID>\*.tga

Error building rus.mod: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Usually, this error happens the first time you try to build. Try rebuilding, but not cleaning. I think it just means that Mod Builder thinks your mod is empty.

Could you show how us you have your mod set up?

Btw love your guides. Just the part at 4:47 sounded like a maybe not sure?

Ty for help I still get the error.

A poor choice of words, perhaps. They are unscripted, after all. Hehe.

So, your .mod and .xml are in "C:\Users\BB\Desktop\Rus\"?

Are you working with the .psd or the extracted .tga files?

What happens if you use an extracted .tga file without editing it?

I am working with psd. Edit it then save it as tga. I get this error with or without editing skins. I did this following the relic guide before. Without editing any skins just step by step wiki page guide and I got burn.exe error

Today I followed your guide and still get burn error. Really confused, thinking maybe I should completely reinstall coh2.

Every attempt was made from scratch. Clean mod.

That is very strange, but you are not the first to have this issue. Maybe try verifying the integrity of the CoH2 Tools?

That might be it will do today. Thanks! Good to know I am not the only one.

Update: No go.

Found the burn.exe in the tools folder try to run it for shits and giggles, crashes on start up.
Also wanted to run world builder it also crashed.

What operating system do you have? Do you have all the latest .NET Frameworks and such?
