[XZodia]

am i allowed to enter past work? >_>

why not dlc?

[JacksonCougarMod]

Err... yes, but try to make something new mb?

Also the reason for no DLC is because of judging...

[XZodia]

who's judging that doesnt have dlc? (most importantly containment )

[JacksonCougar]

I cans beat your snow hog ;p

I do not :\ But really, if you must go ahead :\

[JK-47]

Sounds fun. I'll work on it.
Also, what happened to Razors competition? I'm close to being done with my submission, but I dunno if the competition is still open or not ;p

[neodos]

Hehe great, so all this changes possibles i am going to do a skin, but when does this finish?

[JacksonCougar]

2 weeks from now sound good? I don't think anybody needs too much time to come up with a good hog-skin ;p

[Remnant Samurai]

my comp is still open i think but no one has posted anything lol

[JK-47]

Well you're at least going to get one :p

[XZodia]

2 weeks from now sound good? I don't think anybody needs too much time to come up with a good hog-skin ;p

dunno about that >_>

my snow hog took about 3 years

[Gary]

how about 3 or 4 weeks?
this sounds fun and i want to be a part of it, but i just found out a have a bot flood my internet(so i have No Internet).
I also hope my other skills come in handy for this Hog, because there going to have to make up for me not knowing how to Re-Model :'(

i posted this on ubuntu off live CD.... and sadly no modding tools work on ubuntu :'(

[JacksonCougar]

The time will stay as it has been posted; I am sorry if this inconveniences people but its really a reasonable time period for such a small skin (compared to a bsp skin).

[JacksonCougar]

Oh noes! my photoshop crapped out and now I need to reinstall it! So gay >_>

Does anybody know if adobe has good support for changing OS? What I mean is I am using a PC version but I plan on buy a Mac and am wondering if I will need to pay for a new Mac version :\ Just a though ;p

Anyways, I was wondering if I could get anybody who plans to submit a skin to post their intentions here so I can make a list of contestants ;p

[NotZachary82]

i fo sho will join, jackson. where do we post them? here?

[JK-47]

I'm in as well.

[JacksonCougar]

i fo sho will join, jackson. where do we post them? here?

I had hoped you might make something new

Post them here now if your lazy and want everyone to see what they need to beat. Or wait until the competition ends to post them here.

[NotZachary82]

i'll just post them in the skinning section ...

[JacksonCougar]

Hey just thought I'd throw out some tips, suggestions!

Since I never wrote a rule saying nay against working on the skin as a Team it would be perfectly alright for a couple of you to team up and tackle the project in chunks.

Also if you need any help with the skin or other technical stuff just ask me! This is supposed to be a fun event, something to motivate you to mod again :p

I can do things like make photoshop masks for you, help you with actually modding the warthog, or basically anything to do with this competition really
Remember, its supposed to be fun, the competition is just their to motivate people.

Do your best though! :p

xzodia is it possible with your snow hog to have foot effects like DarkShallFall made when you walk on the sand it would be cool to make tracks with it
