Hi!
My first version of my pack is out now.
Well, what this pack does? -> I'm just copying and pasting some lines of my actual readme:
<i>"This pack makes your game like beeing IN the movies called "Aliens" (well, at least a little <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> ). E.g. the fade looks like an alien of the above mentioned movie (or if u want the fade could look like a predator ^^). Many sounds are changed. Especially the khaara sounds which are based on the "Aliens" movies with Sigourney Weaver. The gestating-egg changed now to a real alien-egg. Hive skin changed to alien-queen. Many other skins for the marines and buildings etc. etc. etc... have a look at the complete changelog and/or screenshots.
Nearly <b>70 new skins</b>, more then <b>330 new sounds</b>, <b>30 redesigned sprites</b> etc. are included."</i>
(I have to say that I didnt make any of these skins / sprites. I just downloaded many other skins, sound-packs, sprite-packs, crosshairs etc. I was searching on many sites, downloaded a few other packs, and now I'm collecting / picking the best skins and pack them into my pack <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />. Aaaaand, many sounds are from other games e.g. CoD4, Penumbra, Dungeon Lords.. I picked 'em out and now NS is sounding a bit better!

Really nice idea you are working on, would love to see previews <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Most of the custom ns models went poof after NSArmslab went down and online again with a completly different website and DB. Hope to see some new stuff ASAP <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Today or tomorrow I upload some screens (and perhaps an ingame-video). Well, actually I can't promise that the skins are really new. Don't know what u've downloaded before, but I took my stuff from these sites:
<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/forums/index.php?showtopic=97626" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/forums/ind...showtopic=97626</a>
Except some files (which Steam was automatically downloading when entering a server). Many sounds should be new, because I took them from games like (CoD 4, CS Condition Zero ^^, Dungeon Lords, Penumbra....)
I'm 100% certain Brys still has the biggest and most comprehensive "ALIENS" themed pack - I know because I made it.
NSArmslab got the cast-off rejects that had not been optimised for later versions of NS. This is because they charged for content and many of us disagree with that - they certainly never got to host my pack.
Links in my sig should still work. There is an EXCELLENT soundpack made by Marr, <a href='index.php?showtopic=81003'>here</a> that also has links to L0tus' sprite pack. The current version of my model pack is V5 or Version FIVE. I would use it before any other.
I would really suggest people download those other packs, which are a big enough download, rather than try and secure permission from EVERYONE all over again. It'll also save you a lot of time and hassle involved in trying to build a better mousetrap.
To reiterate - you should avoid releasing a compilation pack of other people's work and instead focus on your own, novel, efforts.
Good luck with your future HL/NS modding! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
hmm, nah they aren't in my pack yet (but I can add them additionally with sounds). But I'm not sure if a skin of the colonial marines is anywhere out there. (I think I never saw a skin like that) -> but what I already found: AvP Pistol, Pulse Rifle, Shotgun and Smart Rifle Skin.
Edit: I found a skin for normal marine (colonial marine skin <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> )
