Particle if you want you can use the models I created for 1.40...since I seemed to have stalled out on really doing much more work. I have most of them as 1.11 compatible versions (character models that is, dragon, horse, manned horse, bat, dog). Also if anyone actually wants to know how to make custom player models for tribes, I could help them out a bit.
rj, most of that could actually be done using the tribes 1.11 gui editor, you know the old tree(); guiedit(); gunk (albeit it would be extremely difficult, but it would be possible)
