give a cristmas present

[Darth_Appo/CC1119]

if you want to give a present to another member or everyone tha's a meber, post it here.
I'm thinking to give you all a speciall skinoack that will never be released to any other site, so noone except you will have it.
but, you can never EVER release it, or give it to anyone.
the skinpack will come at cristmas times.

If I could skin, I would release one as well. I might release some odfs or scripts (I'm working on a maybe possible change to the disguise kit that allows you to change to any msh, but that is all I will say now )

[Darth_Appo/CC1119]

here's an early present from me
-gimp(a free painting program)
-a skinning tutorial
-white clone skinpack, usefull for skinning

[Firefang]

Thanks, I'll try it out. The methods I use for skinning are amateur so I stick to scripting.
