Doesn't have to be Malcolm or Jakob. I see Cylons as the default character. You could do clone troopers, agent smith, robots whatever you think would be good.

Just copy the UPL entry of the character you want, put it in a UPL that precedes XplayersL1 alphabetically, and change the name to your normal placed character. The one thing to note about this method is that you'll need to disable that upl if you're playing on a utcomp or antitcc server, since they check for duplicates to the default characters.

You can also do something similar for characters you don't want to download, but still want something different for that player. For example, Synchronize's skin is called Matrax, so just copy a different character and change the name Matrax.

will this work on DC ?
If so awesome all you Malcolms will be Cylons from now on

and Greg click the banner my friend Cylonic glory awaits you

Yup. I use this method to test new skins to see how they look in action.

which file do I change didn't seem to work for me

No existing file actually has to be changed. Just add to an existing upl or create a new upl that comes before 'xplayers' alphabetically. You know how to do this, but I'll post it for others.

*Create a new text file. (for example Aaaaaaa.txt)

*Rename it from .txt to .upl (for example Aaaaaaa.upl)

*open the upl containing the character you want to use, paste the data into your new file. If it contains multiple characters, look for the section you need and just copy that entry, starting with Player=( and ending with ).

*Change the name of the character to "Jakob", "Malcolm", "Gorge" or whatever character is your default.

*Make sure the line [Public] is at the beginning of the file.

*So for a Cylon to replace Jakob, you'd have this (see attachment) and need to have the Cylon model installed of course.

*Place the file in UT2004/System

*Restart UT2004, join a game and test it out.

I think I'll post this in the Skin FAQ too.

Ok I see so even if they choose Jakob as a model I'll see them as Cylons cool

Yup

Update: I've been using the Divine Wizard from Roadkill's Lineage II conversion skins.
