Description
This is the third and seemingly final version of the Night Scout, a reskin of Monsoontide's Scout Trooper model. A quick quote from the version two review:
[quote]The textures have been lightened, and are now more of a greenish color, fitting in well with the author's initial idea of a sewery scout trooper. After all, someone has to go down there! Biggest problem with the execution of this skin is it's trying to make an environmental effect on a flat texture. The entire reason there are environmental shaders are for this purpose - reflections move, and because they don't on this skin it looks more like someone heated up his plastic armor and swirled it around a bit, then let it cool and harden. An environmental shader would go immense lengths here to make this reflected look actually work for the model.

In this version we have also been graced with team skins, which basically turn the black underlying cloth bits blue or red, depending on which team you use. Sounds are included, but once again do not function because the sounds.cfg file is pointing to the wrong folder. NPC and bot support have also been included, but the bot support was created using bots.txt so it is very likely to screw up the rest of your bots. Keep in mind for the future that bots should be done using a .bot file and a .jkb personality file, not a .jkb and bots.txt.[/quote]There have been some marked improvements in this version, most prominently being the included environment shader. This gives the skin its shimmery appearance that you might expect, rather than just trying to emulate it with flat textures. Team skins are also a little different than they were before, actually coloring the armor rather than the cloth beneath. Sounds still won't work, which is a shame, and the bot support has also been broken (it should be .bot, not .bots).

Overall, definitely not a bad update. Fixes some errors, and while not perfect is should be an interesting change to the scout trooper model. Definitely give it a look if you're a scout trooper enthusiast.
