This is my latest and last version of the Star Wars anti hero Jango Fett who featured in Episode 2: Atack of the Clones.
I created this skin basically because other versions of Jango created recently were lacking any great detail to them. I
also noticed that most skins of Jango (including ones i created in the past) just didnt look right with a greatly mirrored
Shader on top of them, especially considering in the film Jango Fett's armour was less polished and more scuffed, it
reflected light but hardly mirrored.
So i set about looking into new shader types and found that the best type of Shader used was the in Game Boba Fett model/skin.
It reflected only certain areas on the skin, making it look more detailed then it actually was. I used this kind of shader
and i was incredibaly surprised and VERY pleased with the result, and the end result has come up with a top quality skin
that looks more like Fett then any other skin of him so far (evan if i do say so myself).
I have created full team support for this version, something i neglected on both my previous versions, and also added a
new SP custom type "Fett Male" that includes all the skins featured in this pack as well as adding the in game Boba Fett
skins to the custom character selection, something until recently was considered impossible to do. (shows what they know!)
NPC Support for SP is also available, he uses both Jetpack and FlameThrower and could be used in future mods. To spawn him
use the console command "NPC SPAWN jangoizzy_jetpack"
I have also added some of my old Fett sounds in this pack to make it more authentic although beware "Dont move Jedi" gets a
little repetitive :oP
I must stress that anyone that uses this skin at least gives it a try with Detailed Shaders and high GFX enabled at least
for a moment, to take in the great detail in the shaders.
Anyhoo i hope all that Download this enjoys it.

Known Issues
=======
Try not to use the JetPack version in Jedi Versus Merc mode as the regular Boba Fett Pack skin overlaps it and Z fighting occurs.
When selecting the "Fett Male" species in SP only the head selection will change the model. Both Torso and Legs selecters are useless. Oh yeah and dont expect his Pack and Flamethrower to work in SP ... cos they wont.

Installation
=======
Add the jangoizzy.pk3 to your jediknight "base" directory usually found in:

Special Thanks

To my princess Nikki, Thanx for the support babe!! X X X
Kal El aka WhiteShdw, i used his Awesome "Chiss species pack 2.0" as a reference piece in order for me to get the "Fett Male" species to operate.
To Raven/Lucasarts for making a damn nice Fett model to work on!
