LOL, I've used that skin before too (put it ingameon a later page in same thread) but I didn't think it would fit. LOL!

Oh, and magna gaurds are done too often, put in something different.
Maybe an IG series Assassin droid or whatnot, stealth, powerful sniper rifle and the like. The Clone Commando looks like he's going to wipe out anything he sees, so make the CIS special unit counter that with not letting the commando see him before the commando is on the ground. dead.

Ok I've got one. I was reading over a Wookieepedia article about MagnaGuards and it said that they were trained in lightsaber arts (for their Electrostaffs). Why not make them hold a pair of lightsabers? I call them Elite MagnaGuards. However , I'm making this next part up but they will actually have them :wink: , sometime in their development the MagnaGuards developed a resistance to blasters in other words, their own personal shield.

Screenies:

PS: I know the sabers look really stupid right now, don't complain. I will fix it later (right now I'm hungry).

What happened to the blade? I think you edited the tga incorrectly.

Well actually I didn't I just changed the blade to grey. I've done it before and I get the same thing. However, I will find out how to remove the glow and make it thinner. BTW the skin is by Droideka88. I got permission a while ago to use his skins but I just need to ask him to make sure it's still ok. Finally, should the Elite have a cape?

Not really. Its more work, it looks rather stupid during some moves, and the Magnaguard Delta Squad faced on Kashyyyk had no cape, as well.

You took the alpha channel out of the saber texture, didn't you...

I have no idea what that means. :?

As for the cape, I have reskinned Dooku's cape from BF1 and it doesn't look that bad. I will have to post an image when I get home. I've also made the sabers thinner, so now they look like normal grey sabers.

No, he just didn't copy the effect over to the CIS side.

Ya but in Episode III, Grievous' MagnaGuards wore cloaks as evidenced by this picture: Image
Sooo... I'm putting in capes.

Here are those promised pics of the MagnaGuard with cape.... oh no. Okay I will have to get those up later because Photobucket has some maintenance going on. stupid maintenance

Edit: There it's running again.

Ya it is a really cool model isn't it? I am so glad I was able to get it. Qdin made it BTW for those people who were wondering a few pages back. I am currently trying to get the sounds working for the DC-17. I just don't understand why the sounds aren't munging. Oh well, I just have to keep trying.
