### Overview:
Top20Skins tries to establish a collection of 20 skins which rank at the
'top' of all skins currently available.
The skins are chosen so as to
- interfere as little as possible with the atmosphere of the levels.
- look as realistic as possible.
Top20Skins provides
- a player model file PLAYER.MDL (player skins)
- a player-heads model file H_PLAYER.MDL (skins for gibbed heads)
containing 20 skins.
The files are to be used by players connecting to servers supporting
MultiSkin or better extensions.
The model files are meant to be replacements for the ones included in
the MultiSkin package by Dennis Noordsij (lnoordsi@inter.NL.net).

### Installation:
Assuming that the directory C:\QUAKE contains the quake
executable QUAKE.EXE you should
- create the directory C:\QUAKE\TOPSKINS
- create the directory C:\QUAKE\TOPSKINS\PROGS
- copy the files PLAYER.MDL and H_PLAYER.MDL included in the
Top20Skins archive into the directory C:\QUAKE\TOPSKINS\PROGS
- change directory to C:\QUAKE
- start quake by typing QUAKE -GAME TOPSKINS
- connect to the server of your choice supporting MultiSkin.
- if everything works as expected you may want to add the line
lookspring x
where x is the number of your favorite skin to your autoexec.cfg.
At least one MultiSkin compatible set of server extensions
(ServerModules-1.1.4 and higher) interprets the value of this
variable as your preferred skin and sets your skin accordingly when
you connect to the server.
Please note that depending on the kind of MultiSkin extension the
server you're connected to is running you may or may not
- be able to choose all skins in this collection.
- see gibbed heads with correct skins.
- see corpses with correct skins.
### Acknowledgements
Many thanks to all the creators of the skins contained in this
version of Top20Skins. Due to their skills quake became even more fun.
The largest collection of player skins can be found on Chris Hallbeck's
Quake page:
The Quake Grinder (http://www.zipnet.net/~biff/qgrinder/)
Almost all skins in this version of Top20Skins were taken from
this excellent collection.
MultiSkin 1.1 was invented by Dennis Noordsij (lnoordsi@inter.NL.net).
Visit his MultiSkin page at

for further details about MultSkin.
Rene Post (renep@xs4all.nl) created QuakeMe 2.3 and
Cable Hicks (hicks@goldrush.com) is the author of AdQuedit.
Both programs have been used to produce the model files.
