How to retexture a hat.
First, get your hat, either by getting the meshID's yourself, or by getting a hat from the free models.
Then, after you have your hat, click View in Tools at the top with all the words, and open Properties, and Explorer.
After you have Explorer open, click on your hat, you should see your hat in the Explorer, highlited, and you should also see a little "+" mark.
Press that, you should see a purple icon named Mesh. There might also be a Script there, but dont worry about it.
Highlite the mesh, just click it once, and then open the Properties page that you had open before.
At the top, there will be a MeshId, that doesn't matter, just look for the TextureId, at the middle of all the words.
Find the link beside the TextureId, it should say something like this: http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=#######.
Highlite and copy ONLY the numbes, so it would be "#######".
Go to the catalog, and open any hat/pants/shirt, Etc. Go to the link of that Item, and delete ONLY the numbers, so it should look like:
"http://www.roblox.com/Item.aspx?ID="
At the end Paste your own numbers, and click enter, or go, to go to the page.
It should open your hat's texture.
Copy that texture, and go to Paint, or Paint.NET, or whatever you use to make computer drawings, and paste that texture.
Now make it whatever colors you like, but dont make like a whole picture of something, for now, just re-color things, later you can add in your own images, after you get more experienced at making hat te-textures.
After you have finished the retexture, save it, and then upload it as a decal.
Wait till the decal has finished pending, then go to it.
Look at the link of your retexture decal, and go to the numbers, change the numbers to ONE number less, Example:
"4687235" would go to :4687234" see? its one number less.
That new link should open the Image of your Retexture picture, if it doesnt open that, and it opens something different, like, a place, or someone else's shirt, then make the number go ONE more less. That should open your retexture image.
After you have opened your retexture image, go to te link, copy ONLY the numbers, go to the TextureId that you had opened earlier, and REPLACE the old texture numbers with your NEW Image numbers.
Don't change any other part of the textureId link, other than the numbers.
After you have replaced the numbers in the TextureId link, in the Mesh, in the Hat, press Enter, and thats it.
If you did everything right, you should end up with a hat that has your custom colors on it.

That's pretty complicated for a simple task.
Your forum is a paradox.

tell that to any person who doesnt know anything about meshes and hats, and they wouldnt have a clue what your talking about.
plus its not just pasting the decal on the hat, not bingo, that itself wouldnt work.

ya, it can be explain in a short paragraph, but this is for almost complete newbies, better safe, then have people posting saying they dont get this, or its to vague
