1.DESCRIPTION
**************
I've decided to make new darth vader skin, in an attempt to recreate vader (his suit),
exactly like he was portrayed in "REVENGE OF THE SITH" and its promotional shots. This
(skin) is different from the usual vader skins, which usually feature more realistic
metal shaders, etc. whereas mine is meant to capture ever detail of the episode III
vader suit, from the big black helmet, black satin cape,black cape chain, greyish black tunic
as well as the glove pattern on the ROTS vader costume.
On the side note i'd also like to add:
1.The textures used in this skin are exclusively created by me, and have not been
"lifted" from other skins/models nor have they been made by simply editing existing
textures.
2.This is a skin i did, NOT a new model. So yes, it has some clipping issues which
marz's original model has.
3.This is based on the vader featured in "Revenge.." . So, please don't try to compare
it with the vader seen in the original trilogy.
Since most people can't tell the difference between one vader suit from another, i've
included a comparision shot showing the "alterations". My advice is to at least try the
skin out in the game before making your opinion.

3.HOW TO INSTALL VADER BREATHING SOUNDS IN SP AND MP
****************************************************
NOTE: The methods described below require editing of the .pk3 files. If you don't know how to edit a
.pk3,or at any point aren't sure of how to continue, please visit the thread related to this skin
at Hapslash's Void, at the following link:

Vader breathing sounds in MP:
To play the vader breathing sounds in MP you will need to run the "OPEN JEDI PROJECT" mod which
can be downloaded at the following link http://ojp.jediknight.net/. Go to "Distrubutions" and
download "OJP enhanced". This is the only way the vader sounds can work in multiplayer, since
it requires modding of the game's "code". Unfortunately it might not work with other mods like
FOrcemod III, Moviebattles II, etc.
VADER BREATHING sounds in SP:
It will work on its own. If you have any problems refer to the trouble-shooting section.
For any questions please post in the following thread:

4.TROUBLESHOOTING
******************
When you make the "animevents.cfg" replacement for SP, certain models,like kyle or chewie may start
acting "funny",(as in making sounds when not supposed to). To prevent that just open the up the
"folder" for that model and remove the sound file "ffwarn.mp3" from that directory for that model.
For default game models, this can be found in the assets0.pk3 under sounds/char/<modelname>/misc.
You can do the same for custom models as well, by opening up their .pk3's.(ffwarn is a sound file
used by less than 1% of the models/skins made to date, and its unlikely it will cause problems
on custom models).
The only other bug i can think of is that the breathing sounds will not work with the
team skins.
Any question regarding any issue with the mod can be posted at the thread related to this
skin at HAPSLASH'S VOID:
