Help guiding skin and sound pack mods

[Predator_1]

Can anybody help me make a tank skin ?
I'm making a custom skin for my Batchat 25T and using paint.net with it but the color and the layer only shows up when I've zoom close to the tank but other than that its pretty much the stock skin
And help with how to make sound packs as well I'm planning to make one and either use it for myself or release it to people

Just need a recent tutorial because I tried old videos on youtube that do not work yet and well I haven't searched up how to make sound packs

Will try this even though I learn quicker and better on videos I'll see if I can use this will reply if it doesn't

Found an easy tutorial it helped and I found out the problem why it didn't show the color on my Batchat is because I was using HD instead of the non HD files because Batchat still didn't get an HD model lol
