*Installation Instructions:

Put the  SGirlSkins_SV.utx  file in your UnrealTournament/Textures folder, the  SGirlSkins_SV.int, vansenPackage.int and vansenPackage.u files in your UnrealTournament/System Folder.  

And then open your unrealtournament.ini (systemfolder), scroll down to the [Engine.GameEngine] heading and add these lines with the rest.

ServerPackages=vansenPackage
ServerPackages=SGirlSkins_SV

Then save it.  

Start up UT and go to options/player control and choose the Female Soldier class then the Vansen skin and voice then go to your speech binder under the input tab to assign the taunts/orders to whichever key want.
This package works particularly well with bots, so hit "configure" under the bots tab and change a bot into Vansen!

Installation complete. Other files in the .zip are there so you can get a taste of the skin before installing (and 'cos they look sexy).

*Background

For those of you who don't know Shane Vansen, she was the lead character in the mid-nineties Sci Fi show "Space Above and Beyond". Anyway, I loved the show 
and Vansen was my favourite character, so I thought she'd make a great UT character. Hope you agree!

Notes on the skin:

The skin was made in Paint Shop Pro using scanned pictures of the cast. It fits the model fairly well, although the shoulder pads aren't authenic. 
I have tried to make the face as photorealistic as possible as UT can easily support this, and I think real faces should have been in the game from the start!
The patches on the right arm were hand-drawn in PSP by Firefox, they are authentic though!

Notes on the voice package:

Created using Cool Edit. This is the first TV-sampled voice I have created for UT, I have done several "live" voice packages before and many other TV-sampled packages 
for other games, but this has proven to be the hardest due to the number and nature of the phrases required. Firefox and I sat through every single episode of 
"Space Above and Beyond" to put this pack together. I hope it shows! Some of the phrases were gifts (e.g. "Red/Blue/Gold leader" in the pilot, "Search and Destroy" etc.) 
whilst others were harder to come by. We've messed about with samples, cutting them together to form other sentances in some cases, these do sound disjointed, but it was 
the only way to get the phrase ("I've got their flag" not being an every-day saying and all). I don't think the overall effect is too bad though, and short of using a
professional sound engineer or getting Kristen Cloke to pop over to record some samples for me, it's the we could come up with. 



This package is dedicated to "Space Above and Beyond".

Gone but not forgotten.

Semper Fi!
