Remember the original Skolf map? You know, the one that's still cycling on that one server? Well, I finally pulled everything I could together and taught myself RuneEd and fixed up the good ol' Skolf map. I don't think I have all the skolf files though, I can't seem to run skolf myself locally... but I'm sure this map works.

I'll post the actual map files in the second post and Mano, if you could, please upload this to the server and cycle it with the other one so we can test if it works. If it works out then 'whoopee!', there's a freshly textured, visually enhanced Skolf map for us all. As with most things this likely won't work first-try, but we can only hope.

Here's the images!

Alright, now here's the files.

I do have a few favors to ask of those who are familiar with Skolf and can fix the problem if the map doesn't work (like re-input something that I might've fucked up, etc). ALSO! If anyone could successfully make 3 .PCX files out of my 3 .BMP's in the texture package that are under 192kb, that'll greatly shrink the filesize. My PCXs never ever work and/or they are about twice the size of the bitmap. This'll just help lower the damn download time, etc.

Anyway, I have to say I'm proud of this upgrade... I nearly hurled when I tried out the original one afterwards. Let's just hope this one plays just as fine without any problems or conflicts (which are 90% likely to occur). And if they do occur, hopefully someone (FAIS!!) will work with me to fix it all up.

P.S. For reassurance: "Mano, if you could, please upload this to the server and cycle it with the other one so we can test if it works."

Instead of making a new topic, I'll just put it in this one.

SKOLF ALRIC BETA IS IN! I worked on it today because I was sick of waiting... it is almost in working order, I just need some opinions and to fix some things. For some reason the FOV is fucked up, etc. But hey, now we'll have a golf skin to enjoy during our games.

I'm really trying my best to enhance skolf... please appreciate the work. I just learned skinning 2 days ago and mapping yesterday, first time for both and since most people don't have the intuition, I might as well step forward.

Anyway, here's how it looks thus far. I plan on fixing the chest texture up with a vest... red vest, white sleeves. Kinda like Vice City's country club skin.

Looks great. But where are his feet!?!

Need a streaker trialpit ragnar so some streaker can run through the field disturbing you while you play while a security darkwarrior chases you down.

Nice job bro

Yeah nice job
P.S. get on vent woody

I'll get on the maps as soon as I get the chance. I haven't got much time right now....

Nice looking skin, though.

Thanks thanks. But there's a bit of a problem now. RuneEd seems to hate me a lot and I can not update textures or scripts in there! Everytime I put it in the game its just the same old piece of crap, no matter what's changed! It is nuts!

So, I'm asking a huge favor of anyway. Just to make a "Skolf Alric 1" and "Skolf Alric 2"... the difference between the two is the white shirt and red vest-shirt. Just compile the skin (it isn't that hard) and put it up. Would be real helpful.

If no one can help me then I guess we got no Skolf Alric... but if someone like Krackhead or Middie could, that'd be awesome. My problems are I can't update textures or alter the fucked-up FOV.

So thanks in advance to whoever would be kind enough to compile the Skolf Alrics. The textures are posted below.

[EDIT:] Also, I might be cooking up a short-sleeved version when I get a chance. It'll likely be final. Short white sleeves with the red vest on top; should be cool. I just need someone to make these two skins, you know, to evaluate, etc.

Just to have this on the site please post Tutorial on skin compiling!

RuneEd Skinning Tutorial

Don't worry, the old textures you need are there. All pain skins will be the regular skin (as in no blood, because pain is tough!) and the head is default (it can have pain if you want).

Middie is going to try... if he's successful then woot! Otherwise, maybe someone else can help. Wee.

Imp's a skinner, he may have time to compile if Mid can't get it.

CRAP!!!!! I followed the directions three times and no go for me. Hopefully we can catch Imp.

Ill try it sometime tonight, just add some dirt to the bum and thats about it. Yes, yes that about it.

OK Guys! No worries anymore, I got it done. Skolf Alric 1 and 2 are now out and working fine (textures updated, FOV fixed, etc).

I've only got one problem now... you know at the bottom of the shoes? It has a little texture at the top-inner-corner of the shoe... a plain texture. It looks real bad, but I noticed the extra texture on the shoe is on most skins which is weird. It is real visible and annoying, but that doesn't take away from the overall skin. If someone knows exactly how to fix it, that'll be fine... but in order to update the texture you have to re-compile the whole skin (at least I had to) as if it doesn't even read the new texture package. But whatever. The skin itself makes up for the minor flaw and "its all good" or something. Weee.

So here's the pictures of the skins, the files are in the next post.

Here's the files for Skolf Alric. Mano, just add these to the server along with the map when you get a chance. I'm sure these'll work if you just add what it says to add in my readme.txt.

Enjoy! Hope you guys like 'em. Maybe I should make a Skolf Alric 3 out of the original beta? I could turn that into a swaetshirt on the shoulder... like those "preppie" folks wear. Woot.

[EDIT:] If you guys plan on playing skolf at all, DOWNLOAD THESE FILES, OK? Otherwise you have to download it while connecting. Just download the map and this skin to avoid the long download and such later. Once again, enjoy. I'm up for making other skins tonight, too... just post some legible ideas.

ME = Happy you got that going!
Me Mad = Because freakin I fucked my RuneI file up and what not last night LOL fuckin around as usual. OOOOOOOH well I just forgot to keep my middie skin and mano skin that Imp made for us .

Lol, you edited your RuneI? Why? Weirdo!!

Anyway, I need something good to skin... I'm just making stupid stuff lately that doesn't work out. I can build a skin really really fast, the hard part is texturing. I just finished a crappy Tuxedo Ragnar skin. 'Tis not so good, I'll just post it here to avoid drawing attention away from the topic and because the skins sucks .

If someone wants to steal the idea and can texture it real well, that'd be cool. Just, I'm not sure where it'll fit... then again it'll look great next to Bum Elder and Mexican Ragnar.
