Mod Description: This is a skin modification. Skins are where the model (physical attributes) remain the same, but the texture (the surface image) is modified. This skin is of Chewbacca in a ghillie suit. A ghillie suit is a class of camouflage clothing designed to resemble grass and foliage, to allow one to better blend in to their environment, compared to results achieved by wearing a camouflage-pattered BDU. The ghillie suit is worn by hunters, photographers, and military snipers, and can often limit attraction to the human eye to such a degree that the person may be rendered completely undetectable.* This mod is the second version to be released so far, and includes the following:
- Three ghillie suits to choose from: Forest, Jungle (Yavin), and Savannah (designed with T2_Trip in mind).
- Masked and Unmasked versions of Chewie's face.
- Option to wear the bandolier (with colorschemes matching any ghillie-suit type). Base color is black (default was silver), overlayed by the color of the chosen camouflage.
- Team Colors! Red wears a red bandolier and no mask, Blue wears a blue bandolier and wears a mask. And their icons totally kick %!*#. Base ghillie suit type is Forest.

How To Install: In order to install this mod (and typically others as well), simply extract the file "Skin_GhillieChewieV2.pk3" (contained in this .zip folder, or folder if already extracted), and place it in Jedi Academy's base folder.
You can find the base folder in the directory in which you installed Jedi Academy, by navigating in this fashion:
Drive: > Install Path > Game Data > base
The default base folder directory (for Windows XP users) is:
"C:Program FilesStar Wars Jedi Knight Jedi AcademyGameDatabase"
There are various ways of extracting the "Skin_GhillieChewieV2.pk3". You can drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, or use the .Zip File Extract wizard, usually performed by right-clicking on or in the .zip folder and selecting [Extract All...]
Once the "Skin_GhillieChewieV2.pk3" is within your 'base' folder, the mod is installed, and you may select the skin in the multiplayer profile menu in-game. Just look for the icon of a camouflaged Chewbacca, hiding amongst your other player-model options!

Mod's Known Bugs / Glitches: One thing that may affect your pleasure with this model is the brightness of the ghillie. It may be either too bright or two dark (probably the former) depending on your monitor and in-game brightness settings (map lighting will also affect brightness and model visibility). My apologies, but there's little I can do.
Comments: Well, I was surprised at the amount of interest in the skin, and so I finally got around this week to wrapping up version two. I hope you folks enjoy it! Actually, I personally think the quality is a lot better this time around--in version one, I used photoshop to edit all but one of the screenshots, changing brightness levels and contrast, adding effects here and there--this time I hardly did a thing, other than add a blur filter, some noise, and a lens-flare on the first screenshot. I also think the Red and Blue icons are absolutely forking awesome, personally.
If you have any comments or questions related to the skin, feel free to send me an e-mail.
If you would like to use this skin in any custom or other user-made modifications that you or others may be working on, feel free, but please do the honor of crediting me in your Readme at the least. Don't claim this work as your own.
