These? Elysium removed them long ago, a few people have all of them in their own files so keep asking around.

There is this pak i use for years from Elysium.
For me its the best skin pak, since every models have a diff color, and not everything looking the same!

Brightskins V1 for TDM (they are more visible)
Brightskins V2 for FFA (each model has a diff color) - I use this.

The link is dead but the versions info is relevant.

Has anyone got 'Brightskins V2 for FFA' or any other Elysium brightskins versions hidden away in their Quake 2 files?

Zeppelin? Panjoo? Realistic? any of you BTF clanners? anyone?

A collection of Quake2 color palette files for importing/exporting PCX to/from various paint programs. Not sure where I got these. Not sure if all of them are 100% valid. The .PAL file should be correct, and it's probably what I was using with my version of Photoshop on my old machine.

PAL and ACT I think both work with Photoshop, PCX is probably the same thing as in the stock pak file, dunno what the LMP would work with, probably something really old and outdated so who cares anyway.

In photoshop, if you open the image, perhaps the colors will be fucked because the palette isn't applied. To do so, go up to:

image > mode > indexed color...

A window should popup. Under "palette", scroll down to "custom".

A new window should popup (color table). From there, click "load", select the PAL file (put it somewhere in your photoshop folders with the other palette files I guess just to make it easier), (dont forget to select the file type as PAL on the lower box). Then click load. It should load and the colors will display.

When you go painting it up, you have to save the image loading that palette again, and it'll shift your colors. So my advice... don't even screw with painting a PCX image at all. Use it to create your image for a PNG. PNG doesn't use the Q2 color palette and can display any damn color in the computerized rainbow.

You probably know all this though. If not, if you get stuck with something, just ask.

Thank you, that is appreciated.

I will be doing this for more 'lost' Q2 material soon enough.

I think i've found a way to make more brightskins the way Elysium did.

I'm working on it, i'll post what i come up with.
