Well did u know you need to make a terrain before you start construction on anything?

And if u dont know how to make a terrain there is a good territorial in the Help Pages of the TE.

i have made a terrain,pretty messed up, but its a usable terrain none-the-less.but i want to know how to change the skin...ive messed with everything but havent found out how...

Is happening because you dont have a terrain open when u click add object...create or open something first.

This is a small working terrain.
Install it.

Delete the Shpfilter.txt file from your C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains folder so that all the shapes are available to you while in the TE ( Terrain Editor ).

Run the TE
Goto File
Open
Get the MakeSkin.oba
Open it
Click the TE Object tab ( top right )
Select the plane you want to reskin from the available shape list Click Save Texture ( top right )
Exit TE

You find a new folder in your  C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains\MakeSkin dir called "savedtex"

There is where you'll find the .bmp of the shape you selected.

All the .bmp are in wrong position and must be "Flipped Vertically" in whatever paint program you are using.

Skins that are completed then get placed into the texsrc folder  C:\Program Files\HTC\aheditor\terrains\MakeSkin\texsrc
If you don't have a texsrc folder then you'll need to make one.

well, from the looks of that screen shot, you've tried to edit a skin without opening a terrian
