how can I get to use a custom skin anybody? I didn't know you could until I saw a green slippy.

Because slippy doesnt have a rail, you can just open up your slipgate.cfg and put color1 "x" and color2 "x" in, depending on what color you want your torso/trousers to be (yes, i did say trousers, leave it out ).

Then open your strogg and arena configs, and set your railcolors to what you want them to be
That'll change the colors depending on your class every time you switch classes.

Of course, if you want all your classes rail/skin colors to be the same, just leave it as it is

well, like i said, you have to set  /cg_playercolorlevel to 255 for full color effect

0 is no color from the rail colors, 255 is full color... everything else is shaded inbetween...

I presume that
/cg_thirdperson 0
will then take you back to first person view?

I got it to work.

After the teamchat the other night I checked it out and now have a colour sceme that I have not seen on any other player.

Thanks Con. You're a star.

P.S. I've just seen the summersalts that the player makes if you press backstep and jump together. I love it! Also the axe moves in thirdperson view. That must be what the other players see, I suppose.

So when are we gonna get to see them animated in first person view? (axe, knife, etc)

Does Q1?  and is this any help?

q1 and q2 use the same frame system if im not wrong..tho i think there's more frames in q2.
