Obsidian Trooper

Description
Ooooh. Shinies!

There's not a whole lot to sum up with this. It's a glossy stone-black stormtrooper with neon lighting. Major contradiction in functionality, of course. Black = hide in shadows = stealthy. Neon glow = gives away your position faster than you can say "Holy Sam Fisher's neon glowing headset!". Concept is interesting but that's a fundamental reason why there are no ninja in Star Wars, ya think?

I don't know what to say without going over old ground. The glow shaders are finely implemented, the recoloration of the base textures has been done with no loss of integrity to the texture itself, honestly it seems clear as day that someone has undertaken that most blasphemous act of making sure their mod is consistent in quality and works well. And, on top of that, made sure the file was carefully submitted to avoid three days of email pong! Oh no, the pigs. They are flying.

On top of five colours (default cyan, red, blue, purple, green) there's also a custom soundset optionally available. The only fixings missing are NPC and bot support, which would have been nice. Also as a bit of advice, rather than including two pk3s for the skin - one with sounds and one without - you could've just had the one without and included the sounds in a seperate pk3. That would've worked. ;)

By far one of the nicer stormtrooper reskins we've had in quite a while, even if it does propagate the theory that glow = good.
