Character Skins Idea V1 - RD
Alright, so we got all these new additions to the game Mutation, UK server, some weapons and whatnot. But I thought about it for a moment and came to the conclusion, we need more character customization, make us stand out from the crowd, pwn while looking cool. But there isn't many things to do so. This is just my first example and is still in the rough draft. More details will be added to it in the future if desired.
Hm, so does anyone play CF China? If not, you may be still familiar with a rare weapon called the PSG-1 RD, the Red Dragon Sniper. Now, personally I think adding cool skins to weapons is neat, we've done it for X-mas and this one gun. What about something to match that sniper eh? Presenting the Red Dragon GR SWAT colour scheme! (More details below pic.)
Now as said this is the first. Wanting to gauge ideas first. Players will be able to select such schemes at the store. Either temporary or not. Doesn't matter atm. My original plan is not for it to be solely the GR SWAT guys. Planned on doing examples for each character on both BL and GR. This one just happened to be done first. I realize that currently its just a colour change overall with some minor changes. (See if you can guess them.) But I planned on putting symbols of the dragon similar to the weapons on the PSG-1 RD and CF China's variants. Perhaps they may come in more than just red, was hoping green, or other colours to spice up the battlefield a bit. So mind that this is a WIP, suggestions and ideas are welcome. I'm curious what others think, good or bad.

well, i think it is a good idea except for one thing. how do we know if they are bl or gr? will they have markers on there chests or something?
every char looks a bit different on the both sides. swat has on bl no helmet, every bl char wears like a t shirt or a pullover... so u will see it which side it is -
well, i think it is a good idea except for one thing. how do we know if they are bl or gr? will they have markers on there chests or something?looks more like maroon. needs some decals but i doubt it would work due to the colour schemes of the teams..Doubt it, will make it to hard for nubs to tell whos who
The different actual models would help identify the BL and GR. I hope to get another set to show the difference a bit. I do plan on adding decals to the suits, just thought I'd throw the idea out before actually spending time to doing such. However i think the issue concerning who would be who is a bit silly, the only ones that even look similar to each other in terms of model is the SPOP and the SAS, and not by much, which could easily be changed. Noobs will come to understand that allies have names, bad guys don't. Its no different than them trying to shoot you before or tossing a grenade at your feet. Theres also still obvious distinctions to make out the character. The swat here, with their helmet and armour. Not that hard to tell. -
I'm hoping to clear up those distinctions at some point, continuing the sets for the BL and GR skins. Then see if there would be an issue identifying.You know, besides the fact its harder to tell teams apart I think it looks very cool.
Just to note, I did not take the actual models and reskin them or edit the ingame files in any way. All I did was add some artistic creativity with artistic programs. I do not think what I have done is anything illegal. Especially since its to give ideas and suggestions to CF. The model textures are not accessible like the killmarks. Which is a good thing I think. Stops people from exploiting it.is making your own models legal? can you modify them like you can kill marks?
i agree with the idea. -
UPDATED: GR SWAT Now has the Gold Dragon symbol, I don't know if this improves the look or not in terms of identifying. This is rough after all.
Also here is the BL Swat to compare to now. (Wish I could just edit my first post to group these together...)

OMG!!! Built-in Chams... lol jks great idea!
LOL! Didn't think of that! Funny, though though not quite the same.
Also, which should I work on next?
S.A.S
OMOH
SPOP
or GSG9?
Hoping to get enough interest for it to be considered. Also, what colours besides red, do people might want to look at? -

I could do so, but there's already a red mutant. Also getting the proper screens for the mutants and even ghosts (although different skin colours are kinda pointless for the BL there...) since I was able to get all the others via the game server window thingy rathe than actually playing. I'd love to attempt creating one but so far, I'm limited to what you see above overall. -

i like the idea. i was just wandering if it was as accessible as the kill marks were. but oyu answered my question.
common MOD's and GM's! give out your opinion. this is an awsome idea from an awsome person! -
Could always due red vs blue lol, then you'll know the difference. But anyways, why change the color of the cloths? It's pointless to change it up now. Sorry but I disagree to this suggestion due to the confusion of others and for the simple fact, the color is making the game look more non - realistic, you wouldn't see any guys in the army wearing that lol

I really like your work, keep on working on it : )
Seems SPOP is next, I'll get to work on her and see how she turns out, probably gonna be the hardest one to do with how slim she is. XD We'll see I suppose.Could always due red vs blue lol, then you'll know the difference. But anyways, why change the color of the cloths? It's pointless to change it up now.

The colour is making it non realistic? You do realize how silly that comment is in this game right? We have heart grenades and other variants, we have ghosts, mutants and bunny hopping. Golden weapons, and alot more. Colour is the last thing one should look at when confronting realism to this game. But, you'd be surprised how wrong you'd be about what armies choose for their colours, back in the old wars, red was a common colour for the british. There's probably many others that use it. Dark red also goes black at night, good for stealth operations. Its not as uncommon as you think. -

where are its file where you edit? -
where are its file where you edit?
I did not edit the game files in any fashion, I did not leech the textures from game file formats, nor did I render the models, use them for any other purpose. What you see here is a carefully manipulated picture. Screenshotted from ingame server menus while selecting weapons and meshed together as seen. Here is an exact screen shot which I used for these collages and renditions. http://talonblaze.sqweebs.com/Crossfire20100304_0003.bmp
There is no modified files or extracted files to give me the ability to create these images. I hope this clears things up. Simply time and dedication to create a new look using the simple tools anyone can use.
I'll be working on the next variant, these don't take me long usually except to make the dynamic backgrounds. -
SPOP! Also, possible different colour variations to think of? The future skins will still be in red for example purposes. For those that can't tell, GR top, BL bottom.

Suggestions as to the next skin to take down in terms of appearance? -
