What skin is this?


(FireWorks) #1

Been two months that Ive seen this aura skin on servers and forgot about it. Now I found the screeny and wanted to ask you guys.

The aura has a very distinct hair color and looks like some variety of the rocker Arty I know. Anybody got more infos?

And how the heck did I get to see her on live servers :smiley:

99.9% positive that this is the result of some texture corruption bug. Nothing on the actual texture seems to match with the skin geometry, so it looks like the model somehow ended up with the textures meant for another one. Pretty much the same problem as this but due to a glitch rather than an intentional but misguided texture swap.

It’s probably some other merc’s textures, I’ve seen an image of this same bug happening and you could tell the Aura in that case had Kira’s textures on her.
Encountered this on a Nader earlier today too but didn’t take any pics.

But who would have red hair? The legs look like an Deus Ex mixup :smiley:

Bushwhacker has the red tie thing on top of his hat and the top looks a bit like the bronze Bushwhacker skin. Oh and that white patch on Aura’s side could be the turret.

Textures are usually laid out in completely different manners from one model to the next, so the area that ends up being mapped to the model’s hair could be the texture intended for another model’s footwear.

I have been seeing the same happen quite often on Fragger.
To the point where I am convinced is a thunder until a nade blows me up lol
