Extract the downloaded file into your skins folder, open the folder and find skin_config.xml, you'll need to replace the "parent" flag with the skin_name in your other file. This must be an exact copy. This will tell the game to load the other skin as normal, and then load any files in the new skin over the top.
Im confused with this.
if anyone could help me get this right i would greatly appreciate it, btw amazing work.
So this is my skin config
And this is your's skin config
