like... almost all of them!
This is it.. what you've all been waiting for..
or maybe you didn't know you've been waiting for it but I'm sure you have.
Perhaps you didn't know you've been waiting for this because it's not something one normally expects.. it's not something that is normally done.
But it's true.
I've been given the go ahead to do this.
I'm not a hacker leaking secret files..
or a rogue employee trying to get back at the UWE overlords for unknown wrong do'ins..
They've given me the green light..
The all clear..

*NOTE: These files are now accessible through the launchpad in your steam copy of NS2. Choose "Example Assets" to find the zipped up source files.
________________________
All dramatic intro aside, at the link provided you will find all of the source files for pretty much all of the art currently in NS2 (excluding the exosuit and the environment props). This includes skinned models, the export skeleton, the animation rig, complete model compile files, and many of the animations. Note that there are probably going to be some problems trying to open these files. They are all 3ds Max 2009 and do not include the textures. A lot of this might be overwhelming and hard to understand, but I plan to create many new tutorial videos explaining the process for getting custom models and animations into the game. For now, I leave you with this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1064604/CustomImportGuide.pdf
A text guide that goes over the export/import process and the model_compile file at a basic level. I'll be adding to it as time goes by.
Currently these files are hosted on my public dropbox but in the future they will be included with the game available on steam for everyone.
Note: It should be obvious but these files are not to be used for purposes other than creating mods for the Spark engine. Don't think we won't find out :P
Enjoy!
