This topic has been closed as this program is no longer being supported by the original developer. SIU is currently (as of Dec 2012) being merged with the Dargon Manager (RAF Manager). Found at http://www.itzwarty.com/.

Discussion about this on Leaguecraft is being done at this thread: http://forum.leaguecraft.com/index.php?/topic/50691-the-dargon-project-why-rmsiu-arent-being-maintained/

I'm sure you would all like to join me in expressing the deep appreciation and thanks to Lordgreggreg for his tireless efforts to bring the installation custom skins back to us after Riot upgraded from the Heropackclient.zip. Building on Itzwarty's raf dumper, he created SIU, and gave us all a great easy interface for installing custom skins. Thank you!

SIU
(which can be downloaded for free from https://sites.google...ite/siuupdates/)
(version 3.301 or higher)

as requested, now has a feature

to help you take a paid skin (or any other skin)

and make it replace the free skin (or any other skin) of a character.

This is similar to what SkinSelect used to do. So when you pick the free skin in a game, you will see the paid version.

And here is how it works.

• Step 1: Download, unzip, and run Skin Installer Ultimate.exe, then let it update
  
  • It Should Look Like This

• Step 2: Go to the "Skin Creation" tab, open the "Models" Tree, and find the skin you want, then right click it
  
  • It should look like this.

• Step 3: Choose "Make a simple skin" option from the drop down, and then select a folder to save the skin, then choose the second option "Please start adding this skin"
  
  • (make sure you right click a skin name, not a character name, to get this option)
    
  • It should look like

• Step 4: Click the add to database button, type in a name if you need to, then switch to the install tab.
  
  • Some prompts may offer to do this automaticly for you, it is ok to listen if you want
    
  • The add to database button will be green and hard to miss

• Step 5: Find your skin at the bottom of the list in the "Install Existing Skin" tab, click the check box next to it, and then click the install button
  
  • It should look like this

• Step 6: Save the default options, then use the character selection dialog to choose which skin you want this to replace.
  
  • It should look like this

DONE






Test your skin in a custom game.


Please note: This does not replace particles or sounds or special effects. This will replace models, textures, loadscreens, and skeleton files.

Please note: Just because you can now easily make a riot skin, does not mean you should upload it to leaguecraft! That is against the rules! Do not do it!

Secret Agenda: Why did I make you go through these steps instead of a 1 button click to use a riot skin? First, for flexability, and second, because it teaches people how to begin to make their own custom skin. Add in step 3.5: "Modify it like this http://forum.leaguec...ement-tutorial/
" and you made a real custom skin

That's the idea

[tazmcfly]

can the loading screen for each skin be added to the files that get exported? Also, it may be necessary to tell people to export the particles themselves if they want the particles for the riot skins too.

[lordgreggreg]

Yeah, i should make a note that particles and sounds and special skin specific effects (like fire) are not included. (edit: done in the post, will add to program later)

Will add exporting of the loadscreen in time, though, even without that, load screens should still get swaped as it is right now. (version 3.301)

(they are found in the final install step. if you really want to get down to it, all it needs is a single file from the other skin to give you the option to swap in the install step, and if you choose to, it will look for any missing files to make sure you are not missing a model or something)

Edit: Done in version 3.302.
also, i figured the air files that you see in the chapionship selection would be a good thing to add, so i made thoes get switched too.

I always get a colore swap on my skins and also legendary skins like brolaf do not have a new voice over.
I followed the steps and tried it a several times.
Any tips or help?

right, it does support this type of swapping. But as you found out, and as mentioned in the post, the particles effects (probably what you see when you use a skill) are not going to be replaced, and will look like the origonal skin.

If you can PM me a screen shot, i would like to verify that this is indeed what is happening, and not a bug instead.

[LaronX]

Well is looks like this


and i belive that the brolaf skin looke a but diffrent ^^

[lordgreggreg]

ah yeah, the axe, ill see if i can make it find that too.

[LaronX]

The shirt also should be green
