I'm actually surprised these haven't been done waaaay before! Just as surprised the Nali War Cow hasn't been done either (What? Its funny :p)

I'm not 100% sure (I'm not even 50% sure) but on Beyond Unreal there are shots of an upcoming pack from some team (GTCP pack?). It has maps models etc, and one of the screenshots is of that Nali thing with the four arms. Is there a chance they're bringing the models from UT99 to UT2004? I haven't read that much into it - I'm busy busy busy!

I downloaded the pack, and I must say that the joint assignment is really bad I am progressing with my version and it now looks great I am nearly ready for an ingame test, I will post screens soon,

Please Kronos1000 dont settle for a quick ported version, you deserve better, You can try them if you want by clicking on the download link in the release queue, but I wouldn't recomend it cause its 30MB big and the models just frankly look weird ingame.

Yes you're right :( I saw the Release-Queue and posted. Then I've downloaded it, and saw they look weird.

I've allso compared the Nali from the pack with the pics of your nali.
:tup: for yours :D
:tdown: for the one from that pack.

We are having some issues to do with his bone assignment (due to the fact that there isnt really a matching skeleton in UT2k4)

But fear not it may take me a while but me and Thanatos will sort it.

Just to wet your tastebuds:

Well as you can see with Skrilax the model skins are perfect at the moment,
it currently uses the same texture mapping as the original model;)

So once I finish the joint assignment to a level that I am happy with I will then make it so that it uses a combined 2 part texture instead of the old 3 textures.(That will allow it to work with invisibility)

In theory it can work with ANY of the old SH skins...
So we could add all the old SH skins from UT99.

Don't expect too many updates until later in the week as my mouse wheel is broken so I cant zoom in when using Milkshape, making joint assignment difficult at best.

Good me and Thanatos have figured out a way of getting the appearance ingame to an exceptable level,



We need to increase the poly count now to improve some of the animations to make them appear more 3d and less flat,

I am just in the process of making a combined texture plan which will allow us to have all the old textures on a single layer.

The texture should look something like this:

UT Skaarj Texture A______________UT Skaarj Texture B

I'm so glad he's ingame now :D

But something just came into my mind, the name of that SH is Skrilax ther's allso a MechaSkaarj called Skrilax. I was wondering if that's a problem.

And don't forget Mactom's Baetal, Firewall and Pharoh.
