BIG_L · June 2003

nojmaster · June 2003

Yep, but i have two installs of NS, one is custom, its pretty much tactical AvP, and the other is completely default.

devicenull · June 2003

I use a custom hud for aliens (can be found in modeling forum) and a changed icon you get when you are saying something on mic (to make it easier to see on alien res bars, (I hope its fixed in 1.1, it took me 2 mins to change after I found where it was))
I need a good marine hud, got one?

Hypergrip · June 2003

I'm using "vanilla" NS.

BigMadSteve · June 2003

Using the normal NS, haven't found any good models yet.

That_Annoying_Kid · June 2003

a couple of marine building packs, a silenced LMG, sileneced Pistol, Chibi skulk, cute gorge, hydralisk, ultralisk, easy to see grenade, and the holy grail: the customs sprite pack

Speed_2_Dave · June 2003

I would use custom models, but since many servers lock them out I won't until I find out that I'm just being paranoid. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Skillzilla1 · June 2003

Custom models = illegal in CAL, so I don't use them.

boobs! · June 2003

if it was out i'd use the pokemon models/sprites/sounds

Maus · July 2003

Pretty much all custom models, most of them as-yet-unreleased things of my own.

sheena_yanai · July 2003

all custom...

i dont even know anymore what the original models look like

meatball · July 2003

only the ones that i find good looking and fits the atmosphere of NS and that aint to many.

Jaeger · July 2003

Holo Morita Mod Carbine
Chrome overlay USP
Daemon Elite HMG
AVP buildings pack with fixed anims
Shock Marine
SC Heavy
Hydralisk
Zergling
Ultralisk
Drone
ahmm... a buttload of custom sprites... I think that's about it.

SentrySteve · July 2003

I used to use Fam's Umbra/Spore recolors, untill model consistency came along...

And the fact that they are not allowed in CAL didn't help.

Deunen · July 2003

I used the halo skins for a while. It really gave the game a fresh feel but I started running into probs when I tried to join certain servers so I ax'd em.

ThinG · July 2003

I used the warhammer 40k blood angel skins for a bit, made the rines look very damn scary (imagine a human being, in power armour ===> bigger and broader than an NS marine) with the bolters. But that was just for fun and because I play WH.

It's been completely "Vanilla" for a looooong while now, and it will remain that way <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Cheez1 · July 2003

Most of my favourite servers don't allow 'em, so I don't use them. There aren't too many really quality models out there anyhow, some are good but the rest... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

kingmob · July 2003

vanilla baby

TommyVercetti · July 2003

I used the slightly modified Daemon Elite Marines found in Rammstein's Natural Selection pack. I used the original full-size Mortia LMG, the Smartgun HMG in Rammstein's, the Halo AR grenade launcher with red display, and the black Daemon welder. I kept the original buildings because black buildings look kind of fugly in my opinion, though I did have red jetpack/phase sprites. I forgot where I got my Marine crosshairs, but they were the blue ones that all sort of had a futuristic circular look to them and all perfectly matched the spread of the weapon (the pistol sprite made it incredible easy to snipe with impunity). Of course, I used custom muzzleflashes from CS that fit in pretty well (muz6.spr I think for the view). I used the awesomely evil vampire aliens by Skinny. Regrettably, I reinstalled NS and lost all my custom models for the sake of CAL. I'm working on a seperate models file that I can swap in and out of the directory depending on whether I'm playing a match or just for fun. The worst default models, I think, are the Marine player models <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'> *shudder*. Looks like a blue-eyes Cyclops with a nautilus shell for a helmet...

TheWizard · July 2003

I usually only start using custom models during the EOL(end of life) of a game. Usually means that I have grown tired of the game and really need something new to rekindle interest.

Thankfully i doubt that will happen with NS.

Stakhanov · July 2003

All StarCraft packs (except the marine model since they're too big) as the said game was one major part of my gaming life...

FlyFlown · July 2003

Normal NS cuz it's blocked on my home server .. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Shockeh · July 2003

The Crowbar.

It's all about the crowbar.

Fangs · July 2003

It scares me to think that im playing on a server and i could be glowing pink aginst a dark background. I think that this is unfair to the others playing, sure not all skins are that wild, but your playing a different game if you change the skins. I think that it can be an unfair advantage. Sure some of the skins out there look sweet, but no matter how cool they seem the gorge your looking at has no way of knowing he is a pink pig on your screen, and thats just not fair.

If your tired of the old skins take heart 1.1 is cram packed with fresh skins to keep your eyes happy for months to come, and the new HMG sound will make you feel all warm and bubbly inside. =D

Lima · July 2003

I use avp skins for aliens and queen hive, and some random stuff for mariners, only model wich is default is welder.
althought i like the default models, i think that aliens fits better on ns.
its harder to play when aliens are black and mariners are darker than default. but it greates good atmosphere when i cant see stalking skulks so easily, but my paranoia level has risen way up because of that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

esuna · July 2003

"Vanilla" NS, except for custom hud and crosshairs.

Also, Deunen, your sig image is too big, the dimensions are 400x75, nothing more, i suggest you change it before a mod deletes it.

TheWizard · July 2003

Does anyone know if CAL will announce any legal custom skins?

From what I remember way back in the dark days of CS, did they allow for another set of custom "realism" skins?

CrouchingHamster · July 2003

Hmmm I mess with them so much I can hardly remember whats in there at the minute..

Maus' helmetless marine hack for LA
Reskinned AvP Apesuit for HA ( I think..)
Piggy Gorge
Pulse rifle for LMG, or a test of an lmg I was making
Baseball bat for knife.

All the rest are default I think, but it changes week to week.

CommunistWithAGun · July 2003

i use completely stock because there hasn't been a replacement or enhancement kit worth keeping. Except for Jabba the hunts enhancement kit. I really liked the sprites it had...
