Alright.. for making Gosteks, what's the best way to do it? Is it possible to draw out the entire soldat on one document, then cut each individual part out and save it as that file (such as shirt, head, pants, hands, etc)? What are the specs for the average soldat body parts?

The reason I ask is because I plan on making a "Bugs vs. MI" mod based on "Starship Troopers" (the novel). I'm going to make the "ants," and the gorilla-looking MI suits as the team gosteks. I'm also going to try and base as many weapons as I can off of the descriptions in the book, and make up the rest, maybe modeling after some futuristic-looking weapons.

I'm not great with modding, but I'm ok. If someone is interested (and has experience) and would like to help me mod this, please let me know in this thread and drop me a PM. If you know the answers to my questions, please respond to them as well.

The way you mentioned in the 1st paragraph might be a good idea, never thought of it im sure it could work. Gosteks take a lot of patience because the files are small and theres so many of em. Youll find yourself loading soldat over and over to check em hopefully anna finishes her gostek editor.
