Note
Another (better) Terran Ghost skin based on this one, by Iron Chef of the UT Starcraft mod team, has been released. Unfortunately, Iron Chef used the same package name, meaning servers with one Ghost skin will report a package mismatch if joined by a client with the other. To avoid this, if you run a server with my skin (the one downloadable below, not Iron Chef's) please rename "CommandoSkins_stghost.utx" and "CommandoSkins_stghost.int" to "CommandoSkins_stghost313.utx" and "CommandoSkins_stghost313.int", open the INT with Notepad and replace all references to CommandoSkins_stghost with CommandoSkins_stghost313, and change the ServerPackages line to "ServerPackages=CommandoSkins_stghost313". If you wish to join a server with this skin, please either rename the files as shown, or wait for the skin to auto-download. Iron Chef has apologised and will change the package name in any future release.
