I recently posted to the 50+ UT groups I follow on Facebook to see if there's any other skinners out there... doesn't appear to be, but I did find some interested in learning.

Not that I have any immediate interest in starting another Skinning Contest, but I'm toying with the idea.

Although the general consensus is if I took part in it I'd win... so I may not enter anything of my own.

Though I may allow for edits of existing skins next time; like this one:


Head pieces from the DeadKatz skin sets, overall body from SkinCity's database, customized talk textures which seemed to work best.

Enjoy!

What we have here is an ancient circle of what appears to be ceremonial stones, mostly massive ones.


Map is fairly large, there's 2 UTDMS (1 per team) on the map, and an orbiting teleport (looks like the UT logo) which makes things very interesting.


Pathing on the map wasn't great initially, but Nelsona fixed that nicely.

There's not always a theme to these things...

There's a typo in the .int file for the skin's name, would've been easy enough to fix but I think there's another skin with the same intended name so I left it as is.


3 faces, African skin tones as provided by Baardman, and subtle team colors.

Didn't team color the armor above the waist but opted instead for the shirt just under the armor.

Enjoy!

evilgrins place / Dictators enter the Tournament!

The idea initially kicked off in my skins edit thread on the ut99 forum · https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=149293#p149293

It was then just a matter of Baardman making the faces for it, with suggestions coming in:


Skin is named "World Leaders" now, but it was initially "Dictators" and basically that's the truth of it.

What is a dictator?


Opinions vary:
· To my way of thinking, Trump was a dictator thru most of his 1st term.
· Some Canadians see Trudeau as a dictator, but I don't see it.
· Kim Jong-un, obviously. Xi, definitely. Putin, so much.

Skin has 7 faces: Bibi Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, & Vladimir Putin.

I originally put Trump in there just for testing, planned to remove it later... but then he won the election.

I wasn't expecting Trudeau to retire, but I left him in there anyway.


There were some issues with the initial design of Putin's face, most of which were fixed. The hair is a bit much... but he used to have more so I guess this is okay.

I had a little too much fun with Xi's talk texture. Seems a stretch back someone pointed out he looks like "Winnie the Pooh" so he completely banned any depiction of the character from being shown in China.

Added the fat belly texture as most World Leaders (exceptions of Macron, Putin, Trudeau) don't exercise all that much.

H. G. Wells is an author of some note, best known for War of the World & The Time Machine. The latter having to do with this skin.

In The Time Machine a man builds one and starts cycling backwards and forwards in time, and in the far future he finds human evolution has gotten a bit divided. A smaller class of human lives on the surface, a nocturnal breed of humans live underground... only ever coming to the surface to capture the smaller class which they use as food.


Now, I'd intended to use this as an alternative team colors setup and it is that... but I was thinking more something like this:

Palette I wound up with is similar to what other skinners have come up with for alternative colors. I dunno, maybe all skinners are hard-wired for that or something.

Alternate Team Colors:

Most of my map edits don't take long to make, which is why I've got over 500 of them. Although "make" is flexible as it's the initial setup but then comes the tinkering. From my testing them multiple times with bots, switching things around and whatnot, and then forwarding them to Nelsona to fix the bot pathing...

...and even then, he also does a little more than just the pathing fairly often.

What we have here is a fairly large map built into the superstructure of what looks like some kind of factory. As I'm a long time Trekkie, it could also possibly be the engine room of something.

I added 2 Titans and 2 ut2k4 cannons, 1 to each team.

Battle takes place in the lower area, a main central area, and on varying levels within the side walls.

Edit of a map from "The [lol] Clan" who may not be around anymore, but their site still is · http://www.shoptheb.com/hawkeye-ut/


Bit of backstory here, I managed to get in touch with the maker of this map a stretch back (even though I'd already started editing it) and got permission to work on it... but that went nowhere as I then lost the map. Really what happened is I thought I'd accidentally deleted it but really all I did was forget to add the UTDMT prefix to the map name.

Learned later, again accidentally, the edit was under the original name as Map Randomizer (so much better than Map Vote) "reminded" me by tossing it into the mix one day.


What we have here is a very large GIANT-sized map set in a bar. Fairly standard, combat takes place all over and inside the walls and inside the pool table and on the lamps and... you'll work it out. There's lifts of a sort as coasters (for drinks) travel all over the map.

Had Nelsona fix the pathing, and now it's ready to go.

Enjoy!

I was initially asked to do a full team color edit by medor for a skin called "Noel 3". It's basically like this except what team colors it had weren't as good and limited to Red & Blue.

Arms were all a snow texture, the snowman on the back in team colors wasn't snowy and a few other things.

I sent medor back what he requested, but kept working on this version for myself.

Took some elements from the original version, which was in the Skin City Database. Boots, shoulders, & gauntlets were adapted from those.

Gave it arms (figure Santa isn't as bothered by the cold as most) as well as went for less muscular and evening the skin tone to the same rosiness in the face; common thing for some in cold climates.

Also let some skin peak out under his coat, as might happen with someone a bit on the tubby side.

Posted originally to my lil' UT spot back in September, was holding off on sending to forums until December.

Happy Holidays!
