This is a project on beaver creek that I've been working on. Basically, I'm skinning everything. I'm not done yet, but I want some of your criticism and advice so I can make it better, cooler, etc.

Here are a few things I've done so far, not every change though...

Here's a better look at the P.R

.... so you are just making everything you can purple?

I like the purple look on the motion detector, but it's too.. vibrant? on the rest of the HUD. And it's missing on the grenades.

You should make new reticles.

I will look into that...

I also had the idea of changing the player into an elite, since it is somewhat of an alien mod...

Purple HUD and elite mode has been done before.

Do something innovative, like being a jackal. (I don't think that's been done)

You can't just swap the biped, you have to swap the 3rd person model, then modify the cyborg first person hands to be grunt first person hands.

Fosse de Chacal.

Tone down the purple on the health bar of the HUD, it sticks out too much.
I think it'd look nice if you could find a nice contrasting color to the purple and have that in certain places.

I'll have to fix the second part...

I thought of using a cyan/blue sort of color, and I put it as one of the bases...I will incorporate it into the map more..

You should do more than make things purple.
