As we said before, for example in

http://www.ocainsane.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=608

We don't allow users to upload custom skins. Only the OCA seniors have custom skins and our plans were (are? anyone volunteering?) to make one generic OCA clan skin, no more. (reason: too much downloads.. to log in to our servers you already have to DL.. (with clean UT install, no bonuspacks installed) as far as I can tell right here at least 10.4Mb already, and thats excluding the current Map.)

But, that said, I'm willing to hear suggestions for one new custom non-clan skin or model normal players can use. I don't know if anything will come from this, I have extremely high standards for skins so just a normal soldier with a few different colours won't do. But if there are some truely revolutionary skins we just -have- to have I'm happy to listen and maybe put -one- in.

The one skin I have heard about a bit here and there is spacemarine 2k.

Anyway. If you have suggestions, post the name of the skin, where to download it, and where to view a CLEAR (i.e. not 4x4 pixels) preview picture of it. (you can also include ONE skin picture (per skin) in this topic.)

Note: the 'theme' of the PM servers is 'serious' so for example we will never put in skins of naked women or the head in a glass jar spider model etc.

Note2: OCA reserves the right to STEAL your skin idea/suggestion, put the OCA logo on it and make the skin clanmembers only. We might be persuaded to allow the one who suggested the skin to use the skin as well.

Punt so let me get this right. you want one skin for your clan or you want one more skin for the people who play your server to have.

If it is for the OCA if you have an idea for a skin i will try to make on for both male and female oca players.

If it is for OCA server players then i will try and find some thing super cool in my cool lnks.

Hey Dragon, thanks for replying..

Well basically it's both, I havent checked with the other OCA people if they agree with me on adding 1 or possibly indeed 2 skins at all so:

1/If there is a skin that a LOT of people would like to use I wouldn't be against adding it. It doesnt have to be a specifically designed (by you) skin. Maybe it would even be a bad idea to use specifically designed skins for this purpose since I would want it to be 'accessible' for as many people as possible. For example, perfect would be theoretically to have the #1 most used alternative skin out there to be on the server.

Though of course I would put the skin files for download so I guess a custom skin isnt that big of a deal either.. Open for opinions. Also, the more faces in a skin the better. Diversity!

2/ Also, the OCA skin, OCA said that they wanted to offer the clanmembers an alternative skin with OCA on it, but the guy who used to do skins for us (Yerf) now is NBS so no more. *sniff*. So that idea was/is put on hold. If you wanna help out and we like your designs that's cool! Note though, Im not sure if we want a male AND a female skin.. hmm I guess we do. (but that would effectively mean 3 downloads total, not 2)

Well, I won't mess up with your plans, but I've been using the Spacemarines for some time on our server (all version that are out there), and I hope that I can bring some info on them in here.

1. The only version that suited my ideas was 2, wich is alittle bit difficult to find sometimes. I'll try and explain short why: There are two "basic-versions", one causes nasty colourful errors on the headpart, the other one does not.
The "working"-version includes a lot of skin and colourschemes in fact - depending on Teamcolour AND skin
5 colours (incl. "none")*5 skins+some faces (which don't count too much, since they're in helmets, and you only see a slight difference in weapon and backpack)

2. The hitzones are a fact.

3. They come with interesting sounds, that might be unnerving - their footsteps are pretty well to hear whilst running (wearing metallic boots), but their deathsounds are impressive as well as their movements.

I'm not sure if that's enough information, but I made some shots and will send them to one of you if you'd like to take a look at them.
(24 pictures = 846kb, approx. 300*400 at 24bit)

Just let me know (PM, Mail) if you want these pics, or where I can post them.
