MODEL DESCRIPTION & SPECS:

Xev is one of the main characters of the television space-fantasy show,
LEXX. Xev Bellringer is from the planet B3K of the League of 20,000 planets
located in the Light Zone. When she was transformed into a loveslave, a
brain-eating clusterlizard became mixed with her DNA.
She is beautiful as well as fierce!

The accounting of the polygons and vertices is somewhat complex for this
model. First of all, there are four levels of detal (LODs). Also, there are
three general versions of the Xev model: one representing her costume as
seen during season two, one for season three, and one for the fourth season.
Since all three versions mostly use the same parts, in each case some parts
are hidden while others are visible. This also permits greater variations
for skins. (See "Secret Skins," below.)

INSTALLATION:

Extract the fg_xev.pk3 file into the jk2/gamedata/base/ directory.

!!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!!
If you want Xev to be sized properly in the game, it is highly recommended
that you download JediPlus, a modifications that permits the re-sizing of
character models. (The need for re-scaling models became apparent when a
Yoda model was produced.) As of this writing, none of the mods support this
Xev model. However, implementing a new scale size for Xev is easy. Look for
a file named "tckmodel.cfg" in the \GameData\jediplus folder and add the
following lines:

"xev2" 0.88 1.0
"xev3" 0.88 1.0
"xev4" 0.88 1.0

(It is assumed that Kyle is 6' tall and that Xev is 5'4".)

USAGE:

There are three main models included with this pack. There is Xev2, which is
a model of Xev from the second season of Lexx. There is Xev3, which is a
model of Xev from the third season of Lexx. Then there is Xev4, which is a
model of Xev from the fourth season of Lexx. Each of these three main models
includes red and blue team variations.

There is also a variation of Xev2, the season 2 model, called "Divine
Assassin Xev." Although Xev never became a divine assassin, it was thought
that this skin variation would look cool.

____________________________________________________________________________
!!! SECRET SKINS !!!

All of the variations of Xev mentioned above are selectable from the menus
within the game. However, there are a few other "secret skins" that are only
available by entering special commands in the console. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL
OF THESE COMMANDS ARE VERY SIMILAR! So don't get them mixed up! Also, be
sure to press the TAB key after the model change is made.

Xev, season 2/3: This version of Xev was never seen on the television show
itself. However, publicity photos of that character were made prior to the
beginning of the filming of the third season. In these photos, Xev can be
seen wearing here red hair seen in season two with the costume that was used
in season three. To use this model, type the following command in the
console:
model xev3/default_x23

Xev, season 3/2: This version of Xev was seen for only a few minutes on the
television show. In this version, she has her long hair that is seen
throughout season three, but she is still wearing the costume as it was seen
during season two. (When she is revived from cryosleep on the planet Fire,
she has newly-grown hair and later strips off parts of her costume because
of the intense heat on that planet.) To use this model, type the following
command in the console:
model xev3/default_x32

Xev, season 4/2: This version of Xev was never seen on the show, but looks
kind of cool. It's just Xev with her season four hairstyle and her season
two costume. To use this model, type the following command in the console:
model xev4/default_x42

Hilda Humphrey: This is just Xev as seen in season four but using the
"divine assassin" colors on her costume. This variation somewhat resembles
Xenia Seeberg (the actress who performed Xev) in her role as Hilda Humphrey
in the short film, "Hellchild." To use this model, type the
following command in the console:
model xev4/default_hilda
