Just something I wanted to share.
I was adding some snow and arctic skin variations for the Assault Marines and suddenly I noted the following entry below:
<UNIT name="ASSAULTMARINES-DEFAULT-AGE0-FEMALE" model=".\art\assaultmarine2.bh3" texture=".\art\assaultmarine.tga"
I was intrigued because I never thought of the possibility of having female Marines in the game. So I changed the default model and tried the unit in-game:
So, yeah, the assaultmarine2.bh3 model is not female, but it's reserved for the Afroamerican variation.
I'm sure the "female" line is for giving the unit an alternative model, just like the male and female workers. But for some reason I never saw the black Marines before. It seems the line doesn't work properly so we only get white Marines. Any thoughts?
