[Mrel] The good old KAR

Hello kittens.

I have been searching for the old Kar from 3.1 and before that and today I got lucky. I found it, re-origined it since the shoulderview origins it already had wasn't of my taste and tried it out in-game. I don't know what all that "the animations will be fudged up" came from. I certainly couldn't find any animation errors.

Anyway, here's the pickle. Since I'm no modeller or skinner or anything like that I couldn't do anything about the old hands(which look fine) and the sleeves (which doesn't). So I'm just going to put it here and if there are anyone who knows how to fix the new sleeves on there and has a spare moment, you can just release the updated one either here or in a new thread.

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I just did when I tried it out in the game.

So without further a do, the model: need a new host ASAP (http://timmer.monoworld.ath.cx/v_98k.mdl)

I will keep this up til tonight and then hopefully there'll be a new host available.

Just so you know, the screenshots there doesn't do it justice, it's a lossy format. Try it out to see that it looks sweet.

Not bad, although I hated the 3.1 Kar because it looks like it curves at the end. :)

Although, maybe you should put the 1.0 hands and sleeves on it?

yeah..agreed, spruce it up with the 1oh sleeves and hands, and a dillinger skin;) ..and it might look quite good!


oh, and for the love of god, change the pic to a jpeg..bmp's take forever and a day:)

I wrote about that in the first post....I tried but it refused to work.
So that job is up for grabs. It's more than likely that I'm just too new at it to know how to do it.

I'll get on that later tonight, I got to go.

I hope that someone will appreciate this model. I think it looks way better than the 1.0 one. With a new set of sleeves and hands it would be perfect.

word of advice don't use a bmp file use a jpeg so you can compress

I know you guys probably didn't mean anything wrong, but I know about the jpeg thing, and the sleeves.

I already said I was going to update the picture later on (not now, too tired) and the sleeves was something I couldn't fix (mainly cause I'm not good at it since I'm new to all this).

All I wanted was to give people a chance to choose between the old kar, which in my opinion is more esthetically appealing and the current original one.

There's been several reskins of the 1.0 Kar but not one total replacement for it. The only one that is a entirely different model than the 1.0 is Ls3's Kar, but it's the same thing there, too big and shaped oddly (in my opinion). And that is also a pre 1.0 model.

I like the original pre 1.0 Kar type more, the smaller, thinner one's that look like rifles...and not like some strange sized wooden pieces put together in strange ways.

The vctrmaster KAR was really promising but as it turned out, seemed to be more about trouble than fun. The current one, with the skin and all just didn't look too nice. Not trying to be mean or anything. I appreciated the effort put into it aswell as with every other custom thing anyone makes.

I'm just trying to contribute with as much as I possibly can, and since that's very limited the things I contribute may not hold the same quality as the stuff modellers, skinners or mappers do...but it's unfortunately all I can offer at the moment. I feel I owe something to the community after all these years of downloading selected stuff from it. It's sad that it's not that appreciated though (not trying to fish for compliments, honestly).

I was hoping it atleast would draw some positive reactions to it, if not from newbies then atleast from the peeps who liked some of the earlier versions, and some of the stuff they had to offer.

oh well....rant rant rant.
