Ok, i'm in a HUGE PROBLEM HERE! my skin is completely white. ok, heres how it happened... i was trying to use a trick to use a new skin without buying full, i have the launcher. so i accidentally deleted the default skin without placing my new skin! please help me! I'll be VERY thankful if you do! Thank you!

Well I would never approve of hacked or free clients, but I always like to help people who need it. You could re-install your copy, or I could tell you how to change your skin. I'll do the nicer one. I assume you know how to get to .minecraft. If not, just post for help with whatever operating system you have. So, once in .minecraft go to bin, and open minecraft.jar (It just says minecraft) with WinRAR or 7Zip or something like that, to delete it in the first place I assume you have one. So, in here go to the "mob" folder, no quotation marks. Once there, the file you deleted was char.png, place the skin you want in there and name it "char.png" without quotes. This essentially changes the default skin,so everyone you see with the default Steve will be that. You can get the skins from the Skindex and download one. If this was hard to follow, I hope it wasn't, i'll restate it. In the mob folder inside minecraft.jar (Opened using WinRAR), that is inside .minecraft, you have to place a skin file (The PNG's with "random" character parts on it that you can obtain online) inside there, and rename it char.png
I really hope this helped, yet I still don't support hacked clients, I understand how awesome this game is and if you really can't afford it, go ahead because it is the best game ever, but if you want to support its creators and it's development, I suggest you buy it for all of its awesome features. Anyways, I really do hope this helped!
