Roland, I can do the skins on my own, thank you though. It's a low color depth because I can only seem to export it as a 256 color bit with the stock microsoft paint program. otherwise it doesnt look right.
i didnt want to take over your project or something. i was just curious about how the textures would look like when they werent made in a pice of sh*t MS paint. but if you don't want to use them am i alright with that :). i still recommend you to use an other program but that is probably just my hate for MS paint ;).
I still wonder if the slith was intended to be native in the earlier creations of unreal because of door textures which resemble the slith
ever placed a slith and skaarj in one room? they doesnt seem to like each other that much ;D. besides, in the skaarj mothership are no sliths. so i assume that they have no connection to the skaarj.

According to the manual, they do have a connection, they're "cousins".

Skaarj such as Slith are both extremely aggressive, Skaarj just seem to have technology and are a bit more advanced though. No wonder they attack each other.
Also, if you place a human and some monkey in one room, they could conflict as well. However, humans and monkeys are related to each other, just like Slith and Skaarj, but they can still kill each other, as primitive and brutal it might sound like, such is nature.

But yea, the masking issue can be fixed by using a program that can change your index colours (or, as it was said, not using completely black colour). I don't think you can set it as non-masked, as some parts do need to be masked (like a part of the tail, I believe).

No being style_normal suits it just fine, but I already knew this. And I didn't notice the skaarj attacking the slith they were ok with eachother. But hell, look at how many humans kill other humans lol.

changing the rendering method to normal makes only completely black masked instead of using the index color. funny to see is that the slith is default on masked and this way also has some small holes in his body while normal rendering doesnt without changing the tail or other parts that are supposed to be masked.

btw: they need to touch each other in order to make them fight, but the same applies to a nali and a skaarj.

At the beginning I read Sith Lord and not Slith Lord. ;)
Anyways, I think it looks pretty good so far. But the Slith Lord needs some more contrasting around the eye area. And maybe you should give it black eyes, I think that would suit it well. :)
