Necris Character Skin, "NecrisSkins4", for Unreal Tournament 2003
---------------------------------

Release Date: January 19th 2003

Artist: Gene }"F®èékßøÿG"{ Sprague (a.k.a FreekBoyG)

Email: freekboyg@speakeasy.net

Version: 1.0

Number of Body Skins: 2

Total Number of Faces: 2

Editor(s) Used: Adobe Photoshop 7 w/ Alien Skin Eye Candy 4000 & Extensis PhotoTools,
Jasc Paintshop Pro 7, ACDSee 3.1 & UnrealEd 3.0

Build Time: A little over a month. I had a few things outside of skinning that ate up my time. Mainly
depression & a slap of reality. You can't always have what you want, no matter how much you want it. 

Source Material(s) Used: The Necris Skins from UT, images of a young woman who has chosen to call herself Nyssa.

Thank you for trying out my custom skin for the MercFemaleB model in UT2003. I made
this simply because I missed the Necris characters from UT & from the email I’ve received
regarding my previous Necris Skins it seems I wasn’t the only one. Nyssa & Nadda are both mysteries,
very similar to the real one in many respects.

I can take full credit on this one outside of the inspiration. Making a skin of the person that requested Visse
was all my idea. Perhaps a foolish one at that. Only those with dreams can have those dreams crushed.

Note: I didn't include team colors simply because there was no need to. The team game "headlights"
in UT2003 fulfill that purpose.


INSTALLATION
------------

Installing this one is easy as pie. Just extract the NecrisSkins4.utx to your
UT2003/Textures directory, then the Necris4.upl to your UT2003/System folder.
Then open up the file called XPlayers.int with a text editor, scroll down to the
very bottom & add the following line of text exactly as it appears:

NecrisNyssa="Name:  Nyssa|Age:  Unknown|Race:  Necris||Data:|New to the ranks of the Blademaiden elite, her past is shrouded in mystery. Unwilling to share her past with the group, she is distrusted and kept at a distance. Nyssa now has to prove herself worthy of being a Blademaiden. Her trial is the Tournament and it is only the beginning.||"
NecrisNadda="Name:  Nadda|Age:  Unknown|Race:  Necris||Data:|Not much is known of the Necris warrior calling herself Nadda. The rumor is that she is actually the Blademaiden Nyssa in disguise, since they have never been seen at the same time. Necris Assassins always travel in groups and this Blademaiden has only been seen independently from the rest of the group. She fights on her own and for her own reasons. Whether or not she will ever disclose those reasons remains to be seen.||"

If you're running a server & you want to use this skin package you'll need to add a line to the ServerPackages

THE THANK YOU LIST
---------

There are several people I want to thank for their support in creating this skin:

-	Nyssa, Anika, Adara, whatever you choose to call yourself, you should have taken a
chance. I'm different than the rest and because of this you will never meet anyone like me.

-	My friend Ed “FrAgEd” Hayes for the encouraging words during her creation
& for just being the asshole we all know & love.

-	All of my friends at my place of employment, Capcom Entertainment.

-	The wonderful people at Digital Extremes who created UT2003 & had the
wisdom to help Unreal become not only a great game but an open-ended medium for
3rd party creative expansion.

-	This skin is dedicated to my mother Jessie (Ann) Hatchett-Sprague, who is died
of cancer on October 28th 2001. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have gotten this far.
I thank her for bestowing upon me the gift of artistic talent. Though it might be just
a small talent I am still very grateful to have it. I love you & will miss you now that
you are gone. Please check out her web page http://annsart.homestead.com/

-	And last but not least my little furry friend Quervo. He's the last of a group of
Ferrets that belonged to my Mother. I always liked him so I kept him after her passing.


PREVIOUS WORK
----------

Map: CTF-MorpheusCity: 
Authors: Ed "FrAgEd" Hayes & Gene }"F®èékßøÿG"{ Sprague
	A large CTF version of the DM map Morpheus. Good for 16+ players.
	Received a score of 8 out of 10 & a shining review from UT Underground.

Skin: Damage Amplifier Maniac for the Visor model (Visor4UT model converted by X3M)
	An updated version of the Quake 3 skin, Quadmaniac (by Ogro Fix & Xurn). This was
	always my favorite skin for Q3. So when X3M converted Visor to UT I thought that my favorite
	skin should come over too. I asked permission from the original authors & then I updated the
	concept to fit UT, the Quad Damage became the Damage Amplifier.
	Received a four Stars rating from Ram2000

Skin: Jarhead_FreekV1-2 for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My second released skin was well received by the UT skinning community & garnered a
	shining review from Polycount (check out the review here @ http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/skins/ut/jarhead/freek/freek.shtml)
	& also four out of five stars from Ram2000.

Skin: Jarhead_Freek][ for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My third released skin & second for the Jarhead (what can I say, I love this model). It contains
	three body skins & a total of 15 faces, as well as all team colors. I did some pretty nifty copy
	& paste work for one of the skins. If you like H.R. Giger you should check it out.

Skin: Jarhead_FreekSE for the UT Jarhead character model (Jarhead by Dov Sherman)
	My fourth released skin & third for the Jarhead (what can I say, I still love this model). It
	is a re-compilement of my other two Jarhead Skins into one much smaller package. I made this for use
	on UT servers, since the other two packages alone are  quite a download. Had to cut out green & gold teams
	as well as quite a few faces, but I left the cream of the crop. Still a lot of variety to choose from.

Skin: NecrisSkins for the MercMaleA model in UT2003
	This was my first attempt at making a skin for UT2003. Although not all of it is original content, I’m
	pretty happy with him none the less. This is a remake of UT’s Necris characters, named Graves. This
	skin happened to make it on to a DVD for a German magazine called “PC Action” as part of a SkinCity
	(http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/) collection of UT2003 skins. So I guess that would make it my first
	“published” work.

Skin: FreeK for the player model in Grand Theft Auto III for PC
	I enjoyed this game so much that I had to become a part of it. So I made a skin of my ugly mug & put it
	into the game. It's completely based off of myself & the clothing I wear. I'm pretty happy with the
	skin all & all. I hope you enjoy it too. It's posted off of a German site called GTA3.net
	(http://www.gta3.net) which is an awesome resource for GTA3 files, just look in their skins section.

Skin: NecrisSkins2 for the MercFemaleB model in UT2003
	My second UT2003 skin, Ravyn. She's one of my favorites. She's one hot hoochie momma in my opinion.
	They say that artist's will often times drawn or paint what they believe to be the ideal woman for
	themselves. ....Well she's pretty damn close!

Skin: NecrisSkins3 for the MercFemaleB model in UT2003
	Third skin for UT2003 & probably the best of them. Visse from UT returns to kick much butt!
Download: http://www.filefront.com/?filepath=/hqn/NecrisSkins3.zip

Skin: NecrisSkins2v1-2 for the MercFemaleB model in UT2003
	An updated version of NecrisSkins2. The file size on the previous package was way to big. So since I
	finally figured out how to use the Alpha Channel I was able to re-make this skin at a considerably smaller
	size.

**If none of those URLs work, just try looking on File Planet (http://www.fileplanet.com), SkinCity (http://skincity.beyondunreal.com/) or UT2003 HQ (http://www.ut2003hq.com/) or even my freakin' site The Freek's Toy Box (http://www.xmortalityx.com/UT/Home/FreekBoyG/freeks/freekstoybox.htm) All of these sites should still have all of this stuff.**


CURRENT & FUTURE PROJECTS

Now that I've fulfilled prior obligations I need to make a few more male Necris characters to even out the sexes a bit.
