RoboCop skin
I basically didn't change the skin so much, but customized it and gave it more faces.

That is, if "faces" counts as that little bit between the top of the chin and the bottom of the nose.
Image

Original skin has an odd off-yellow tone to it that never made sense to me, so I restored the skin to a more blue-steel white; like it is in the movies.
Image
I enhanced but restricted the team colors to just the upper torso.

Skin has 5 faces now.

Including a voicepack I found for the character.

Enjoy!

Starfleet skin
Skinning for Star Trek is tricky when you're trying to stick to the canon material and having to deal with the limitations of certain models. Such as with the Soldier model for both Male & Female which doesn't allow team colors on the shoulders and upper arms...
Image
...which made a Red Shirts skin I did a stretch back all but impossible except for use in MonsterHunt.

It occurred to me the whole thing didn't need to be Team Colored. In recent years Star Trek has featured uniforms which were primarily gray or black with coloring in limited display, so I opted for that.

Lower Decks was NOT what I was going for. In order to make it gray in certain parts I separated the textures to edit them and then pasted them back together... that white line was not deliberate, but I decided to keep it.
Image

What we have here are two skin sets, Male & Female, for the Soldier model with full team colors and multiple faces. Starfleet has more than human members, so there's a wide variety of species here.

Female Soldier has 17 faces.
Male Soldier has 25 faces.

Enjoy!

Female Officers · ToS
This originally didn't have a belt, but I kept thinking it needed something around the middle.
Image

My first attempt to move the Red Shirts skin from male to female...
Image
...keeping in with the female uniforms of the original series of Star Trek. Which gave me the thought it could be different as when the series started, the female officers didn't wear pants.

Opened up potential for full team colors, which I never managed with the male version.

My dislike of naked skins worked out well here, as I took one and dressed it.
Image

Enjoy!

CHUCK NORRIS
While lamenting at the time an existing Bruce Lee skin has such lousy team colors, I suddenly remembered an old conversation about there being no CHUCK NORRIS skin...
Image
...well, now there is.

Took the face off a ut2k4 model and then I just needed a body. Once I had that setup then the customization began, which didn't take too long once I started it but it was some work. Initial skin tones for the face, head, body, and arms all didn't match. Used tint edits to get them up to speed and more properly aligned.

Team Colors used to be the entire pants and gauntlets...
Image
...but the fact shoulders can't use them made me remove it from all extremities and have it only on the pants.

I may make another skin later of CHUCK NORRIS if I can find the proper materials.

Enjoy!

Orcs all around
This is a bit of a 2fer, two skins I edited with a similar theme.

Along with my usual collection of superhero skins I found a Batman, Superman, & Flash with no team colors.
Image
Can't say why I went with Orc, but I team colored the gray parts and gave it multiple faces.

Now, the ShadowKnight skin was one of my faves for years, but I always thought the Team Colors were too bright...
Image
...so after giving it a bit of a makeover, I lessened the extent of the team colors to slightly more neutral tones:
Image

Enjoy!

Colors
This didn't turn out exactly like I wanted it to, though I suppose it was predictable as I've seen similar in the simplified work of others.
Image

Example which inspired this had more defined details of the skin's features and musculature which, for whatever reason, I hoped would be readily apparent.

Not so much.

Still, all and all...
Image
...it could be worse.

Dragon Warrior
Initially started for someone who was setting up his own games, but then he up and disappeared.
Image

A darkened presentation of the Reptal Soldier, with the logo on the back selected by he who disappeared. 1st draft only had team colors on the gauntlets, but I always intended to come back and fill those out a bit more...
Image
...which I did a couple days ago, finally.

Enjoy!

CTF-UTDMS-Agony
Quite awhile ago, in ancient times, I had previously edited this map with UTDMT & UTDMW...
Image
...so this seemed like a good idea, once I finally got the UTDMS version.

This happened a lot early on, as I didn't have all versions initially when I started doing these edits.
Image

CTF conversion of DM-Agony, each team has a SkaarjBerserker defending their base.

CTF at the Great Wall
Edited for 2 different UTDM-monsters, if I still had access to UnrealEd I'd probably eventually have edited for the only other kind I know of as well.
Image
What we have here is a large map with two symmetrical sides which a large wall in-between them.

They're not exactly "bases" as both open areas have a lot of things in them but no singular individual structure.
Image
The wall itself is massive, with various ways to get across it (above, below, and at ground level) with a couple surprises within it.

I first edited UTDMT (1 titan per team) onto it...
Image
...before eventually doing a UTDMW (2 warlords per team) version as well. Although, in many respects, the UTDMT version can be the most deadly as a Titan throwing boulders in such an open space hits players like bowling pins.

Usual Suspects:

Mirror Universe skin
My first foray into compensating for the restriction of team colors on a Star Trek skin.
Image

While it wasn't an overall thing in the TOS episode where the crew found themselves in a parallel reality, a lot of the uniforms did show a lot of arm. This made team colors much easier to handle while keeping to canon material.

Took an initial skin and customized it for what I wanted, with a lend from paperCoffee in giving me a goatee for "Evil Spock".
Image

I did make a slight screw up, I forgot to put in Sulu... but that allowed me to include him in a different skin-set, so it works out well enough I suppose.

Enjoy!

CTF-UTDM-DoomsJustice
A long term edit I was doing, which fortunately was pretty much done by the time I lost the ability to edit maps.
Image

What we have here is a comic book themed map with 2 bases which are not at all symmetrical. The overall map is, but the bases aren't in the least. Blue Base is styled after the Hall of Justice from DC Comics' Super Friends, while the Red Base is an original design Marvel Comics-themed base stylized on Doctor Doom. Blue Base is low to the groud, Red Base is raised up higher. Blue Base has a fountain out front which is safe, Red Base has a lava pool which is lethal.

Insides of the bases are different too.
Image

Map has UTDM-monsters, 1 inside of each base and 1 outside each. 2 Titans on the Red Team, 1 Warlord & 1 SkaarjBerserker on the Blue Team.

Map also has 2 "super" bots. Now, to be clear, these are NOT aimbots. What's super about them is I took the movement of the fastest Skaarj I had, and I copied that into one of the bots and did similar with the other but with slight variations.

Usual Suspects:
.u - /system
.unr - /maps
.utx - /textures
png - Pwetty!

Enjoy!

CTF-UTDM-COLISEUM
Map originally had no pathing, until I had Nelsona fix that.
Image
It seemed ideal for UTDM-monsters, on a couple levels. As you can see in the selection window it originally had a standard Titan and Queen in the arena, which is why I opted for a UTDMT & UTDMW. Normal monsters eventually die and don't respawn, having monsters that can respawn makes their potential to get a game to last longer ideal.

Under the arena there's an area with cages for other monsters, common to the theme of a coliseum in any movies involving the Roman Empire... and an exceptional number of BSP issues.
Image
Although it has naught to do with gameplay, nobody really goes down there. I'd toyed with the notion of replacing what's down there with 6 or 7 UTDMS but passed.

There are a couple ways to get into each base, from either side or through the roof.

All in all, a fun little map.

Usual Suspects:
.u - /system
.unr - /maps

Enjoy!

Iconnage
There used to be a UT-clan called "TnT" with a stylized logo of that explosive on a window in the front & back of the torso...
Image
... but near as I know they're gone now and I thought something better could go in those windows.

Instead of better though, I opted for silly.

Team colors fairly standard, but the icons on the front & back also change for each team color.
Image

Enjoy!

Celebrities
Originally I was going to call this "basic" as it's a very basic design...
Image
...but then I remembered I had a bunch of faces of celebs and figured, why not?

Had an Elon Musk face too, but upon closer inspection it needs a LOT of editing before it's ready to go.

Used elements of this before for another skin...
Image
...but I was more thorough in the team colors than the other time.

Enjoy!

UTDM-monsters in CTF-DesertFox
I did a previous edit of this for fun · https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=72991 · based on a silly idea, but I forgot about these other two until this week.
Image

DesertFox is a fairly large map, with mountains; playspace above and below. Both bases are well fortified, with ample sniping spots around them.

Titans can throw boulders fairly high so it's no mean feat to stay out of range...
Image
...although it's harder to snipe a base with a Warlord in it, as it can fly up to where you are.

Enjoy!
