DESCRIPTION :
My second skin that actualy got submitted anywhere. After a short period of destroying everything around me when I realised I forgot to make a backup copy of my other skins before a format (one of them was 90% finished!), I decided the time has come to stop making skins just out of inspiration. Sure, this skin also had an inspiration, but it's something more - it's a personal skin! And the cool part is, it isn't personalised. :> There are no clan tags, no names or anything like that. I'm quite a bit proud of this skin - it looks fantastic in-game, has custom sounds (with me as the voice actor, of course), has full NPC support (more on it later), team support, and also I made four wallpapers of it. ^^
As you can see (if you cannot, look at the wallpapers ¬¬), it is based off the Reborn model. Yes, yes, yes, I know, 'OMG! Reborn! Wtfuxorbbqk33ltehn00bliekbanplzkthxdi!'. Well, I can only say one thing - I don't care. It's so much more than the classical Reborn.
Yes, it does have custom sounds, which explains the large filesize. The sounds themselves... err, well, I can't actualy judge by myself... all I can say that my microphone is crap. ¬¬ There are 4 sounds I have borrowed though - the 3 death and 1 falling are the standard Reborn ones. Sorry, I just feel extremely insecure screaming the heck out of myself knowing that my neighbours from above may knock to my doors every moment. Anyways, yeah... ugh.... must... get... back... to... the... readme!!
It has no bot support. And I would even make one, if I knew how, but who needs bots if you have... NPCs? NPCs are waaay more fun, waaaay more inteligent, waaay more spectacular (performing a yellow stance kata while flying in the air with head directed towards the ground?), and the best of all, they are fully customizable! You can choose their sounds, skin, saber hily, saber color, skin color, size, statistics (aggresion, aim, mobility etc.), available saber styles, and much, MUCH, *MUCH* more. I ask again, who needs bots? As you propably have guessed, there is NPC support for this skin. To spawn an NPC, you must have cheats enabled (Single Player: type 'helpusobi 1' without the quotes in the console, Multi Player - type '/devmap [MAP NAME]', note that you must have admin access to do that). Then, type 'npc spawn [NPC NAME]', or '/npc spawn [NPC NAME]' in Multi Player. Here is the list of this skins' NPC names:
thestranger_green_ally
thestranger_blue_ally
thestranger_dual_ally
thestranger_staff_ally
thestranger_green_enemy
thestranger_blue_enemy
thestranger_dual_enemy
thestranger_staff_enemy
The 'green' and 'blue' versions will spawn the Stranger in the default skin, wielding a blue or green Katarn saber. The 'dual' version will both these sabers. The 'staff' carries a blue Vanquisher, and is also using the Blue version of this skin. If it ends with 'ally', the NPC will fight by your side, if 'enemy', it will attack you and your allies. Note that NPC behaviour can differ in Single and Multi Player (they are overaly smarter in SP). Also, regarding NPCs - if you want a full list of NPCs that came with the game, well... ask someone else to tell you, unless you know how to find the ext_data folder. If you know where it is, you should already know. ;)
Wow, I got carried away again, I hope this readme wasn't THAT boring. :) I hope you enjoy this skin! May the Force be with You!
