Proxima Midnight model for UT99
team colors done.

notes:
hacked 2 of the 3 textures and UVs into one. hacked up the models hips/pelvic/thigh areas to compensate for the horrendous hips/thigh outward warpage in the female skeletal model in game (you can see what I had to do to the model in the player select pic).
updated download. manually set female soundfx to package:

The ProximaM Player and Bot are subclasses of the SkeletalChars's SkeletalPlayer and SkeletalBot respectively, so they inherit the properties of those classes - the SkeletalChars's Player/Bot have male death/hit/etc sounds (apart from footsteps) and so these are inherited (as the male voice would have been except that this has been changed to a female voice in the default properties). I think it is simply a matter of changing the male sounds to female sounds in the Sounds section of the default properties of the ProximaM Player and Bot.

first off, it's a fine looking model. secondly, you should have considered not to release it untill it's working as you'd liked it to work. There are some people who just dump all files they can get their hands on regardless of quality and such. The voices should be fixed, and when/if that happens the model will come in two versions, one with working sounds and one with bad sounds. The dude with the file vault can't tell you which is what, he/she never uses stuff, just DL and up it again. So, your work risks to be rendered useless in the future if this version is used over a fixed version?

just my 0.5 cents :mrgreen:

where are those default properties at? how do i access them?
i found these in the class files milkshape created:
defaultproperties
{
DefaultSkinName="Proxima-MSkins.prox"
DefaultPackage="Proxima-MSkins."
SelectionMesh="ProximaM.Proxima-M"
Mesh=SkeletalMesh'ProximaM.Proxima-M'
MenuName="Proxima M"
VoicePackMetaClass="BotPack.VoiceFemale"
VoiceType="BotPack.VoiceFemale"
SpecialMesh="Botpack.TrophyFemale1"
}
--------------------
looks fine. what else should i look for and where?

Fire up the UT Editor (UEd) - open the Actor Class Browser - open the ProximaM.u - to locate the ProximaM Bot in the Actor Classes 'tree', go to Pawn and then click on Bot -> HumanPlusBot -> SkeletalBot -> ProximaMClassBot

Highlight it and right click, in the dialog that comes up click on Default Properties - Sounds are at the bottom. You can then change the sounds by going to the Sounds Browser and opening FemaleSounds.uax (if it isn't already in the list of sounds). To change the sound for Die, for example, highlight the female sound you want to use (say 'death1d') and in the Default Properties, click to the far right of Die - two buttons should come up, Clear and Use - click on Use and 'death1d' should appear in the box. You can change as many of the sounds as you want. Don't forget to expand Deaths and change the sounds there as well.

Do the same for the ProximaM Player by going to Pawn -> PlayerPawn -> TournamentPlayer -> SkeletalPlayer -> ProximaMClass in the Actor Class tree.

Having changed the sounds, save the ProximaM.u file (tick the box to the left of the ProximaM.u in the Packages pane and click on Save).

Hope that's clear - should be once you open up the Class in UEd. PM me if you need further guidance.

Wow, 1K posts!!!

I've added screen shots which should make the instructions a bit clearer.

The issue in the other thread is the same as the one with your model because the SkeletalChars classes use male sounds and, like I say, these need to be replaced.

Link is down for this skin, IF at all possible could the dl links be fixed. Thanks and this and even the alt look awesome.

I downloaded most of Bigfoot's stuff a stretch back, I may have Proxima.

Was mostly his Mortal Kombat stuff I grabbed, as I intended to eventually get around to fixing their lack of team colors... he didn't include team color textures even though he setup his .int files as though he had.

I managed to get it via pm from a fellow member. If anyone else is looking for it, I'll share the link IF the person doesn't mind me sharing it of course.

Let me guess, the team colors don't work.
