No need to apologize! We're not skin nazi's ;)
As long as you put posts where they belong and don't spam your way to being a t-rex then everyone's fine :)

As for requests, I don't see why not!
I'm not a skinner (I'm one of the programmers), but we've got a fairly large group of skinners hanging around who I'm sure would love a fresh challenge!

Welcome to the forums, BTW

--- EDIT ---

OK I'm getting ready to go to bed, so I'll post the instructions for adding extra dinosaurs to CCE:

1. Open your Carnivores folder and go to 'huntdat\mods'
2. create a file called 'mymodname.mres' (change the name to whatever makes sense. You can copy an existing one that should be in there)
3. Download the new .car file or dinosaur images

4. If you downloaded a car file, skip this next step. Otherwise, you will need to install the skin into the car file (the newest unreleased version of CCE doesn't require this step):
a. Download the skin. It should be a TGA or BMP file. If no file is found for download, request the authors for it.
b. download Machf's Car editor in the 'Tools and editors' section.
c. Make a copy of the car file you wish to update and put it in the mods folder
d. Using Machf's tool, open the car and replace the skin. Save the car file

5. Open the mres file and edit it to look similar to this:
Code:
 

mods {
{
ai   = 15
file = 'alex-velo-hellraptor.car'
name = 'Hell Raptor'
mass      = 0.3
length    = 4.0
radius    = 256
health    = 6
basescore = 12
scale0    = 800
scaleA     = 200
smell    = 0.95
hearK     = 0.7
lookK     = 0.5
shipdelta = -32
danger    = TRUE
}
}
.

Change the settings to match the original dinosaur.
You will need to copy the mass, length, radius, etc info from the original res file, and make sure you set the AI to match the dinosaur you are copying (For instance, 15 is the raptor. see the res file for that info. Res file is stored in 'huntdat\_res.txt').

Run carncce.exe, select the 'parent dino' (t-rex, raptor, etc), and hunt! You should see your new dinosaur among the others. I desire to one day make the dinosaurs themselves individually selectable.
