Description: Here is my latest work. It's the grayfox model reskinned into a new character concept for the star wars universe. The idea behind this was to create a character that is part of a special jedi reconnaissance detachment. The mission of the force_recon is to scout uncharted territories in the galaxy and to find force capable allies to aid the jedi and defeating the Yuuzhan Vong. They are also tasked with reporting any Yuuzhan Vong or other enemies spotted throughout the galaxy. The suit that is worn is designed for harsh climates that humans could not survive long in. Durable but flexible to allow the jedi to engage in combat if necessary and to escape to report enemy activity. The model has it's faults but skinning was fairly painless. I wasn't able to do a few things I had in minde because of uvmapping on the forearms and one of the elbow pads have the edges all turned in different directions making it impossible to actually put a elbow pad texture on them. Other than that it looks pretty good. It's a little large but I wanted to give a lot of color choices. I think most will be pleased with it. All colors are available as bots but only 3 have npc data for single player use. Please feel free to modify anything you like to get what you want out of the skins.
Credit: I did all of the skinning using the original skins as a reference for placement only. I have included the Readme file to the original grayfox model which explains it's original development team. These are the artists listed below.

***Trouble shoot***
Usually there are only a few errors make that cause problems. Here are the most common...
1) Not using the proper console commands for "Single Player" or "Multiplayer"... cheats are acivated differently for each. Read "Instructions" up above.
2) Having the pk3 placed in the wrong folder.
3) Make sure you have the latest Jedi Knight Academy update, this is very important!
4) sometimes the model will not show up in the select menu, The Game loads them in reversed alphabetical order, so Yoda should show up in the top. If not you may just have too many models. You can rename the pk.3 to Z_something, and this will put it at the top.
