You also don't have to choose a Team Arena model - if there's a Quake III Arena model you'd prefer to use, simply click on 'Model Type' at the top of the screen and choose 'Quake III' to see a listing of Q3A models. The models actually have interchangeable heads and bodies if you don't see a combination you like here and want to put one model's head on another model's body, you can do that with a couple of console commands (see the 'Console Commands' section for more info). Once you've chosen all of these, the last thing to do is pick your model from the mugshots at the bottom of the screen. If you take a look at the model to the right as you cycle through them, you'll see what each clan's basic skin looks like. Each clan has different bots, and each one has a slightly different skin. Of course, it's voluntary, so a player has to elect to use it.Įffect: this chooses the color of your railshots.Ĭlan: this determines what clan you play for in the single player game.
