Original
T2 Skins,
but more reflective
5meg
or (you can only use one vehicle skin set at a
time)
Blue
Tinted Shiny Vehicle Skin Pack 2meg (half resoultion
for low graphics settings)
Installation
for "Original T2 skins":
Unzip them and
put the textures
folder in Tribes2/GameData/Base/
Load tribes
2 and make sure you have "Environment Maps"
turned on in Settings - Textures
Now join a shifter server!
Note: you will not be able to join any non-Shifter
server which has Texture CRC turned on, because your vehicle
textures do not match the server textures and you will be
kicked from the server after about 2 minutes with no warning.
There are not many servers with Texture CRC turned on (only
maybe some league servers or paranoid servers)
INSTALLATION
for Blue Tinted skin pack (.exe) :
Download and run the file (or unzip it with winzip),
it will extract to the default Tribes2 installation location
(you may need to point it to your proper Tribes 2 folder if
you installed to a non-default location)
Navigate
to the Tribes 2/GameData/Shifter folder and double-click the
"PLAY SHIFTER" icon to load up with your vehicle
skins, you can copy this icon and move it anywhere for convenience
Doing
this will let you start T2 in custom skins mode so you can
join servers using your customised skins without messing with
your original stuff. It just means you have to decide where
you are going to play BEFORE you load T2 - if you know you
are going to play on a server which does not allow custom
skins then you will need to use a normal shortcut.
WHATS INCLUDED : Just the base T2 vehicle skins recoloured
with alpha channels edited to show off their shiny reflective
properties (assuming you have environment mapping turned on)
NOTE
: You cannot join a server which has CRCtextures checking
on. This means that some "base mod"servers will
not let you on long as they detect you have modified the vehicle
skins and think you are cheating! but you know you are not,
so play someplace else :)
