Title: 007 Skin Author: Erik Johnston Team leader: The Demon God _-_-_Email : the_demon_god@hotmail.com How to install the skin/model. If you don't know already, make a folder/directory called "007". Unzip the 007.zip file into the directory, and then put the new folder under MYDRIVE:\quake2\baseq2\player\007. If you did this correctly, a new skin should be found under multiplayer/setup - enjoy!. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 007 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This skin is one of many that is going to be included in a TC of Quake2. Although, this skin isn't that impressive compared to the others, it is more a less a joke that would be better appreciated as a stand-alone skin then as a secret "joke" skin accessible within a much larger mod. The TC of Quake2 is yet to be named, but so far the TC will include completely redone weapons, a total of sixteen, and will incorporate two races - humans and something else... as of right now, the "something else" lacks a good name. The hardest part of making this mod isn't with code, but rather with the models. The revision to the code is really easy, with places like inside3d.com and Quake Devils, enough help is granted through wonderful tutorials; coding soon becomes easier than making skins. The models, however, are the true difficulty. Of course, everyone wants better models - and with those FREE model tools, one is doomed to make only the worst models *hey, but they are free, right?*. Only with the expensive tools can someone come up with a model as fast as a good piece of code - but where a good compiler may cost $500, a good modeler costs over $3500! The TC that we are making also has a new feature: an AVI intro. However, the intro alone, at a resolution of 640 by 480, takes up 150 megs of space. I don't know anyone (except a few bored rednecks) that would download that. I might just have to cut it into the postage stamp size intro that people are used to seeing in 1992 games. If anyone has any ideas, send email! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- UNFORTUNATE UPDATE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Just to make this clear: The actual 007 model was cut out of this. I don't know why but the team I am working with are a bunch of asses, and want to keep everything in one place until the final release date. I took pieces from the 007 skin, and pasted in on the first model I could grab. Too bad it wasn't mine... ;} -------------------------------------- NOTES/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS/IDEAS/HELP! -------------------------------------- email: the_demon_god@hotmail.com IF you can make maps...
