The first of two skin packs for the War Machine model, converted and compiled by Simon 'Psychic_313' McVittie.
Each skin in this pack requires the corresponding Male Soldier skin. If you don't have the right Male Soldier skin, the default War Machine skin will appear instead.
Here are a few known download locations for these skins:
Chamber (Soldierskins_Chamber.utx): Fileplanet
Imperium Commander (SoldierSkins_Im.utx): 3D Downloads
Krow's Mettallian (SoldierSkins_krowmet.utx):
Fileplanet
| 3DDownloads
Metallic (SoldierSkins_Sold.utx): Fileplanet
| Multiplayer.it
Overkill (SoldierSkins_Overkill.utx): Multiplayer.it
As with all custom models and skins, you can't use these unless the server administrator has set it up to allow them. This means they will not usually work on public UT servers.
If you are a server administrator, please note that the UMOD for this pack does not automatically add ServerPackages for these skins; you'll need to do that yourself if you want to use them.
The lines to add to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of UnrealTournament.ini are as follows - note that each skin requires 2 separate ServerPackages lines!
; --- these are always required to use the War Machine model --- ServerPackages=SoldierSkins ServerPackages=AdvancedModelSupport ServerPackages=PS2WarMachine ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins ; --- additional lines for each custom skin --- ; --- Chamber --- ServerPackages=Soldierskins_Chamber ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins_P3ch ; --- Imperium Commander --- ServerPackages=Soldierskins_Im ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins_P3IC ; --- Krow's Mettallian --- ServerPackages=Soldierskins_krowmet ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins_P3km ; --- Metallic --- ServerPackages=Soldierskins_Sold ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins_P3so ; --- Overkill --- ServerPackages=Soldierskins_Overkill ServerPackages=PS2WarMachineSkins_P3Ov
You can add some pairs of ServerPackages lines and leave others out if you want - you must always include SoldierSkins, AdvancedModelSupport, PS2WarMachine and PS2WarMachineSkins, though.
Linux users: the relevant file is $HOME/.loki/ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini, where $HOME is the home directory of the user the server will run as. If this file doesn't exist, copy the one from /usr/local/games/ut/System.
None of these skins were designed for this model, so any blurring and stretching is not the authors' fault. Chamber's shoulders, wrists and boots were edited to remove mapping glitches; any problems there are Psychic_313's responsibility.
There are some screenshots and images in the UMOD file.

This is a skin Kasarul couldn't finish and handed to me. All I did was the legs, the belt and the team colors and faces. Kasarul did everything else. Hope you run this on servers, specially those which require teams to play.
This skin was created by Rick 'Krow' Stirling for the Metallian skinning comp.

Thanks for checking out my Unreal Tournament skin for the Male Soldier Model.
All team colors are included. There are also seven faces including an animated
one. Hope you enjoy!
[some of these faces do not appear for War Machine, because they look too human]
[installation instructions deleted - see above instead]
This skin was entirely drawn by me and was created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. No outside material was used. Please do not re-use my work without asking.
No readme file was provided with the original Overkill skin. As far as I know, it was made for the German version of UT by Epic's Shane Caudle. Parts of the skin come from Raw Steel.
