Ironically in that a stretch back I edited a map, for Redeemer battles, that had monsters on it and it was bugging me that when the Warlords on it died they ditched the skin I gave them and reverted back to the default Warlord skin. So I did a blurb and sent it to a few forums for wiser heads to show me how to fix it.

Yeah, not all my stuff comes to ut99.org
I was shown a way to setup a new corpse, just for the map, that would incorporate the skin I wanted... and if I ever have to do this again for a Warlord this is what I'll use, but months later when I edited MA-TheLonelySouls I found another method.
Ordinarily to skin a monster on a map you put the skin you want under 'MyLevel' and then attach it to the monster's properties here:
Each monster-class is a different one of those slots, you just need to find the right one. However, the doesn't keep your skin on the monster when it dies.
I accidentally found this:
Right in the open, so simple that it says 'skin' and I never noticed it before. Selecting your chosen skin here not only puts it on your monster... it remains on it after the thing gets killed.
No need to make a special corpse for each skinned class... except, of course, the Warlord.
Still not sure why that one monster is so different. Well, except maybe the Gasbag, as it's one of the only Unreal monsters that uses more than 1 texture.
