alright now, here is something we've waited our entire carreers for. he looks like the ground zero marine, but aside from that, looks friggin cool! laidies and gentlemen, but mostly gentlemen, i hereby present you with Thesilent1's very own KillerGold:
Killergold (http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/quake3/grunt/killergold/killergold.shtml)

That thing is hideous

CONCURRED!! [/StrongBad]

I'm afraid I have to agree with the previous two comments.. it's not a bad attempt at skinning, and I'm sure the shader took some doing too, but it's just not very good. I'm sure any fan of Yellow? will love it...

Aside from that, I don't see what it has to do with Generations? :]
I know Ground Zero is a PC mission pack, but I've never played it.. it just seemed odd that an Inca character 'avenging his father' would be in an official Q2 pack? :]

I've played GZ and there's no sign of this bloke.

I'm red and gold, but I don't look anything near like that, nor would I want to during play.  I don't see how he looks like anything from Ground Zero.  The only skins included with the Rogue mission pack looked like pirates.

Rather odd dialogue for a first post on our forums too, was this a driveby self-promotion under an assumed name I wonder?

*SpAwN repeats Phoenix's first sentence*

*twitch* OW!

No Pho, he's a freshman on the Euro server and had announced in advance that he'd be posting 'a skin' on the boards. In fact, I suggested he post about it there, instead of continuously chat about it during the game ;)
So I doubt it's what you think..

Just a mild bit of speculation was all.

I think he ment gold-y instead of god-ly, so I'm going to edit the topic title to reflect this.

Just a simple typo, that's all.

Now that the topic is correct, I have to agree. That's one GOLD-y skin! WOO!

... i've played GroundZero (and The Reckoning) a long ago and even though i didn't play online, i remember cycling for the new stuff for MP and this wasn't part of it iirc. My thinking is that this is a *remake* of a skin Nova did originally for GZ...

... and about using yellow, got a problem :p ? I know i'm a walking beacon for that, but i'll be keeping the yellow theme for a while more. Even if i move to other theme, i'll get back to yellow sooner or later. GO YELLOW GO! :) ...

Okay first, i alredy said i didnt make the skin. second, DONT U GUYS EVER WATCH THE DEMOS? :D  :evil:

and yes it was a typo. i never intended for it to be the most popular skin ever. neway i like it



 :daddy:

and btw nahand, I SAID I DIDNT MAKE IT, i gave Thesilent1 credit.

I could be misinterpretting this, but if this is a custom skin you use, others must have the skin in their baseq3 or generations folder in order to see you using that skin in a demo recording.  A demo recording more or less keeps track of movement and triggered events, everything else is dependent on the machine it's being viewed on.

... fine... just calm down yourself :) No one will bite 'ya (rocket-frag you or pushing you into front of Tabun maybe, but not bite :p ). And welcome to Generations  :ownage:  :rules: ...

DooM Sucks! ARENA POWER!!!

Oh btw that guy realy looks like made of gold. But besides that, he has a really REALLY UGLY FACE!  :)~   and it isn't a good model.

Obviously the model isn't something to write home about, it's just the Q3 Grunt. Can't blame the skin for that :]

Still he has an ugly face. and i HATE THE Q3 GRUNT MODEL!!!!  :biggun: HE'S UGLY!!!!

...

no really. he's ugly.

makes it easyier to kill him :)

... independently of the skin here discussed, i have to said the things about the model are true. In vanilla Q3 i use Ranger model with blue skin. I'd happily use the Grunt model if it were anything remotely like the Q2 version...

gahh

go load up ground zero and watch the third demo the multiplayer one.
youll see a yellow guy with a plasma beam :P

i never said it was a skin in groundzero. it is the invulnerability effect :)
oh and btw wut is with the grunt model anyway?

the hero in quake 2 was bitterman not some overmuscled pod-jockey. :wall:

All Q3 models are rather ugly, actually. They all have horrible deformations in both their animations and skins, not to mention stretching during animation. Ofcourse, with < 1000 polies it's hard to make something look good, but that's no excuse for sloppy unwraps..

... i'm sure that's what Q3A PR department had it to be, but for all purpose and intent, in Quake 2 you play a nameless (faceless?) caracter that is similar to the Grunt model in Q3 (or its counterpart...) so... no...

Opening quake 2 cinematic:

"We have made contact with extraterrestrials, we are contacting them now."
"One of the UAC space stations has been destroyed!"
"The extraterrestirals are coming in BILLIONS!"
"The city of Tokyo has been decimated"
"No survivors in Europe!"
"With earth speed, These brave soldiers will assault the home planet of the Stroggs. We, and the rest of humanity, wish these soldiers luck, and god-spee-CRASH"

"blah blah blah"
"Bitterman you are in the green ready for launch."
"S**T! Command, i got a problem. some cowboy clipped me on the way in.

Bitterman is also the name drawn at that chrash landed pod, you "landed" at cinematic.

 Names are diferent at exp packs.

Yes, the character named Bitterman was the Q2 space marine you play in the game, however I would like to point this out:

1)  The Quake 3 Arena Bitterman player model has absolutely no physical resemblence to anyone or anything in Quake 2.
2)  The only default player models included with Quake 2 are "male" and "female", with the "grunt" skin being the default skin for the "male" model.
3)  All the dead and insane Q2 space marines physically look similar to the Q3 Grunt model since they all use the "male" model.

I hope that clears up any confusion.
