This skin was created for the UT rumiko model ... just double-click the
UMOD and everything should fall in the right places... if no install
directory is specified, just type in your UnrealTourneyment directory
(eg. C:\UnrealTournament\) 

Note: you need the Rumiko model before you use this skin as the UMOD 
will NOT install the skin if you DON'T have the model. You can download
her right here:

==================
LAST MINUTE STUFF!
==================

First of all, I finally got UT! *Wa-hoo!* It was $39.95 at Babbages
Next, when I tested out the skin, it was displayed but I couldn't
load it as a bot in Skirmish ... *ahem!* I mean Practice mode ...
[There! You happy?] Well ... spent 15 minutes and fixed the problem.
Apprantly, there's no "default" so it had to point to a particular
face or it won't work!

This skin is out of BETA ... but in the future, I MAY decide to add
more faces to this skin or change it a tad bit.

This skin was suppose to be part of the Val-Kyrie Battallion SkinPak
but idea was scrapped because of ... well ... of a little bunny 
stole some designs and I didn't knew they were stolen until the very
last minute. It was a great idea until she blew it!

So ... have fun and as my friend, Spank, the public relations guy at
ChaoticDreams.org, would say ...
"Frag in Peace" (-_^)

===========
Description
===========

My first UT skin! This one is totally made from scratch (except the big
glove ... I used the skin that came with wireframes at 666's website...)
except that when I was done, the armor reminded me of Q3Crash and 
Q3Stripe's armors combined. That wasn't intentional ... I know there's
skin alignment problems on the torso... it was like the Q1Ranger 
skinmesh which I wasn't very use to ... and ... most of the mesh was 
backwards! The nits and scars, however, are a bit like Q3Ranger's CTFs. 
THAT was intentional [you know me! Ranger is my favorite Q3 model!] ...
it goes with the skin's storyline. I managed to finish her legs without
a problem ... the lower mesh reminded me of the Q3 mappings so that
didn't bother me. But in the end, I forgot that there was a gold and
green teams so I had to recolor her torso-armor into something besides
red, blue, green, or gold. It's an anime-type skin, so don't complain
why her eyes are a bit large. Also, unlike the other Val pics that I
see at Val-kyrie.com, this one looks a bit older (like she's 25!) ...
I guess it's the way how the Rumiko model was built. (?_?)

She is called ChaosUT Val, at the moment, because of the Proxy Mine 
creatures on her armor and the ChaosUT skull on her waist... besides,
I love Chaos! I hope ChaosArena comes out soon! (^-^)

A really silly thought but at the time I was making this skin and
writing this readme file, I never owned myself a copy of UT... just 
stuck here making stuff for Q3. The only way I could preview this skin
was to plug it into a 3DSMAX version of the Rumiko model. jbirney, the
author of the ChaosUT skinpak for the Male Soldier, compiled it into a
UMOD. "Thanks jbirney! (-_^)"

I decided to release this skin to the public because there wasn't a lot
of UT skins at Polycount... hmm... someday, I'll see this skin in
action ... but for now ... I'll pack my RailGun and make a desparate
attempt to beat Xaero in Nightmare! until I wait for that FedEx man to
deliver my package with UT in it.

=====
Story
=====

"ChaosUT Val" [unofficial name] was thought to be Valentine's long lost
older sister, missing since Valetine was a baby. "ChaosUT Val"
"ChaosUT Val" was said to be ressurected by DrXian [BTW, no relation to
the Q3Xian model] , a servant of the evil Angelica, Valentine's 
arch-rival, as a cybronic cat-girl sent to locate the Val-Kyrie
Battallion and obliterate them.... however, after one battle against
Valentine, she showed some feelings and betrayed Angelica. A quiet
person, "ChaosUT Val" tries to remember her past if Valentine is
actually her younger sister.

=================
BETA SKIN NOTICE!
=================

It's a BETA skin and I'm bound to change it anytime soon. Perhaps fix
some skin alignment, revamp the skin, tweak the shaders (Q3A only),
and/or add more faces (UT only) This skin will get out of BETA when
ALL Q2, Q3A, and UT Val-Kyrie skins are OFFICIALLY completed! This
skin, along with a whole bunch of others, are based on the kitty-girl
Val.

For info on the Val-Kyrie Battallion Art Project [CODENAME: VAL] see
http://galacticamoon.simplenet.com/Saphiria/html/art_codename-val.shtml

Besides ... I'm not happy the way the big glove looks ... I'm gonna
definately change that in the FINAL skin. Also, I'm not sure if she'll
have scars in the final version. It may just only be in the team
meshes and that's it, just like Q3Ranger's CTFs.

Thanks!

I'd like to thank Roger [666] Bacon for making the Rumiko model.
All the people at PolyCount for all those tutorials and other stuff
and Epic Games for making the best shooter games ever made! (^_^)

And lastly, I'd like to thank Kiwa for giving me
inspiration and the will to live. Thanks! (;_;)
[That last paragraph really sheds a tear to me ...]
