Mr. So's Universal Union Combine

A requestes Skin

This skin was a request by someone. They wanted something that would have that "tactical" look. They also wanted it to include the leak/beta symbol that is seen on the back of the combine. I could not find a good enough image to use, so I made the symbol from scratch, so it may not look as perfect as it should.

Also, I am sorry if it does not show up as a perfect circliar symbol, but that is because when the skin is applied to the combine's model, it gets scretched and a little deformed. However, the errors are not so noticable unless you pay overly close attention to the symbol.

This download includes a Elite Skin, a Soldier skin, a shotgunner skin, a prisonguard skin, as well as a prisonguard shotgunner skin.

Also, since my last upload, I altered the VMT files. The skins are no longer so shinny or "wet" looking. You can still see the shadows caused by the folds in the armor/clothing, but it does not seem as they just emerged from water now.

Credits: Textures: Mr. So and So/Valve Model: Valve

Instal steps: Step 1: Select which combine soldier you want the skin to apply too, and go into that file. Step 2: You should see a "materails" file. Select the materails file and put that into your steam/steamapps/username/half life 2/hl2

For episodes: Drop the materials file into your steam/steamapps/username/half life 2 episode 1 (or 2)/episodic

If you have any questions or problems with getting this to work, don't be afraid to PM me or post on my profile wall.

EDIT:Alright, I've made some changes to the files. I fixed the "materials" files, so now when you put them into your dierectory, they should go to the right place.

Also, I took away the "requiered" file, so all you have to do now is just choose what combine you want to be reskined.

Along with taking away the "requiered" file, I combine the prisonguard skin with the prisonguard shotgunner skin, because the way valve set the VMT files up, you need to have one to use the other. Its complicated to explain.

The bottom line is: You should now be able to download this and install it withour problems if you follow the steps I provided.

    This is really good.

    Personally I prefer J. Barnes' combine soldier skin, but this is still pretty sweet.

    You better not be a man'unter.

    I drag the file and overwrite THE COMBINE But when i play the game Their texture is color WHITE Armor... What should i do i tried to RE-INSTALLED it but it got the same result....So yeah i forget to make the back up file Please if you can help me...

    If you are using these in a game that is pre-2007 source, they will not work. People said that deleting the VMT. file will fix this, but I do not know too what extent this will help. I did not start skinning until post-2007 source.

    As for the pure white problem, are you using these skins in the old source engine? These skins only work in the 2007 source engine (post Episode 2).

    yes my skins are pure white but i thought after so long id have the 2007 engine can i just update it or will that effect things?

    you can just import the vtf files and modify the existing vmt files

    ummm im not in the know. all i know is how where to put files where. if you could humor me and tell me what you mean?

    open the files you downloaded, there are .vtf files and .vmt files just delete the .vmt files and put the .vtf files where they should go.

    thank you so much. i loveyou o_o

    I love you too...

    Blue, are you using these skins in a mod that uses the old HL2 engine? Because these skins can only work in Hl2, Hl2EP1, Hl2EP2, and mods that use the 2007 source engine (the current engine that is being used).

    I am still learning about VMT files, and I only started skinning after the 2007 source engine was out. I don't know what I have to do to make the VMT files compatable with the old source engine.
