SHAO KAHN: EMPEROR OF OUTWORLD - CHARACTER SKIN + STAGES_NEW

[Nergal_Arvax_Ramyell]

I was very disappointed with the game's default skin for Shao Kahn, both the playable version and the stage NPC, so i decided to try and modify the textures for a more "classical approach" to the character.

So, without further ado, here is my take on the MK9 Shao Kahn ...

Nergal_Arvax_Ramyell.

P.S. There are two sets of files now !!!

The first set is labeled as "OLD" and is compatible only with the version of MKKE prior to the latest major update (NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF THE GAME) !!!

The second set is labeled as "NEW" and is compatible only with the version of MKKE after the latest major update (COMPATIBLE WITH THE LATEST VERSION OF THE GAME) !!!

I like this a lot, is the damage done too?

I am glad that you like it Rich246.

The damage file is done too (Damage Done, ha, ha, ha). I had problems with Shao Kahn's crownhelm, because the damage textures (files) are of very low resolution in that part. Since I wanted to change the color of the helmet's neck-guard in the basic texture, I opted for a more saturated gold(en) in the damage file. It actually looks quite good, once all of the 3d model deformation is applied, one side totally red, the other partially golden with a piece missing. I suspect that I would have to change the mesh for a more uniform result.

This was initially supposed to be a three-part mod, with one character file and two stages (backgrounds, the ones where Shao Kahn appears as an NPC, sitting on his throne), but the server timed out, each time I tried to upload a 60Mb archive. The same textures were used for the stages, as well ...

Added the two stages to the attachment / download section of this post / mod.

man, this is the best shao kahn retro that I saw, in my opinion, and I made two, but I think yours is


more like the true one from the past, I mean better, awesome work!

btw, your nick name, Nergal, is a demon yes? do you like black metal rock music?

[Nergal_Arvax_Ramyell]

Thank you - ranckel - !!!

I really did my best with the textures. However, there were some issues with the damage file(s), due to the (extremely) low resolutions in which they were rendered. Without any changes to the mesh, this is as close to a uniform result as I could get.

P.S. As for my musical taste, I listen to Extreme (Heavy) Metal, in all of its forms (subgenres). Sadly, this did not determine my nickname on this site, but the fact that I have been a longterm fan of a Cartoon Network show called: "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy", where one of the characters ("villains"), is called Nergal. So, despite the subcultural element, it is more of a "spoof", as it turns out.

Hi there, - ranckel - !!!

How have you been?

I have just updated the mod-page for my SKEOO-mod on this site/forum, after more than a year and half of not having played/modded this game at all. Also, I have been very busy working on a solo Extreme (Heavy) Metal Project of mine, during that period. For now, it is "only" one song/demo (not the demo-version of one song, but a standard recording).

I qualify the (sub)genre for it as, "Symphonic (Progressive) Black/Death/Doom Metal" and/or "Metal of Chaos", but Encyclopaedia Metallum's moderators have given a slightly different classification for it. Here is the Youtube-link to the appropriate video posted on my project's channel, in case you are interested.

All the best.
