Battle Droids

This is a reskin project of Evil Engine's battle droid model, which was released years ago and had only a very basic flat skin and a psk file to aid development of new skins. Well, it was very challenging and took a lot of painstaking pixel by pixel painting because of the number of polygonal faces and how scattered they were on the skin.

I've now got them finally in a presentable state. There will be 15 total skins, in three different families of team skins. A basic tan like in the movies, black, and some more colorful ones inspired by some of my son's toy Star Wars droids. Expect a release in a few days.

WHOA!!... the detail looks nice

whoa they look GREAT !!

SHWEEEEET!
We could have battle droid day where we all use that skin...and reenact a movie battle.

Update:

I'm trying out a new concept for the black battle droids - An Imperial droid with glowing logos on front and back. Check out the video:

I'm not quite satisfied with the look, but I'd like your opinions.

Even if I abandon it as an official skin, I might just leave it in as an easter egg.

Here's another look since the video doesn't show much detail:

Well I decided that the glowing skins looked a bit fake, but I kept them in the skin pack, just hidden. Just check in the upl and you can enable them if you want, by changing menu="DUP" to menu="SP". And there's a bit of a joke skin hidden too. Test download is coming soon, just wanted to share this image:

It could be part of MAS we shall be clones with Clone blasters -ONLY. It would do good for regualar gameplay too.
Maybe we can do invasion-Republic vs. uhh Droids ( I mea nthe dark side : P) and we can have Jedi to- Elite would be one or a Clone Commander. It will be fun battling the siths like Ventres, The Count, Emperor, etc....
Course there will be allie clones/Jedi like Obi-wan, Luminera, Ahsoka (Snipps), StarWalker (a.k.a. SkyGuy), Yoda, the guy with the purple lightsaber, etc.........

Triple posting isn't cool. BTW, I did make a simple Rex skin (The trooper in clone's avatar) a long time ago, was going to be part of a big reskin project, never released it though.

i'm sorry Jefe

-that's just me. anyway, when i tried to install the battle droids -it said i needed a passwork-what's the password?

wait a sec. where do i even extract these files too?

I nevered installed a skin/model before even though I made a post on it. I would be thining you could give a better ansewer-an answer that 1 can understand. (atleast an 11 year old can)

There's no password on the file. As far as I know, zip files don't even support passwords. If you mean you're having trouble downloading it from Filefront, i've uploaded it here too:

Quoted from the README:

How to Install:

Extract Bdroidlite.ukx ....................... to UT2004/Animations
Extract Bdroid2.utx .......................... to UT2004/Textures
Extract JunkVoice.u .......................... to UT2004/System
Extract XplayersBdroid.int ................... to UT2004/System
Extract xplayersL3NewBattleDroids.upl .........to UT2004/System

I just noticed I did leave something out, the int file for the Junkyard Mech voice pack. I'll attach it here, but I will be doing a minor update soon. Sgt Todd from Levels 4 You is working on Droid voice pack and he should be done with it soon, which I'll include as part of the Droid skin pack.

Just FYI, you only need this int file if you haven't downloaded the Junkyard Mech character, which you can get here, and I highly recommend:
