Viking Nixon?!
A quick conversion I did of the Heavy Knight player model from the Half-Life mod, Pirates, Vikings, and Knights, to the NPC guards in MasterSword.

Full credits & instructions included in the .rar.

At least he's making use of a model that would otherwise go to waste.

I guess PVK isn't *quite* dead, but there are many totally dead mods out there with models that would be of use for this game, thus saving much development time, and preventing many modeling hours from going forever to waste.

Like the zombie.mdl from the dead "dsa-hl"mod?
Perhaps the MS:C-Team could use it...

Just because a mod is dead means that thier content is now allowed to be used by anyone. Nor does it mean that the team will be willing to give up the content.

Unless you maintain a copyright with the state, if you abandon your mod, you abandon all the content that goes with it, and rightly so.

More appropriately and honorably, however, there's also the whole e-mail and ask thing, and crediting anyone who can't be reached. Many former developers are surprisingly eager to share. Most simply grew out of it.

Suffice to say tons of tons, perhaps whole terabytes of good artwork is wasting away due to people abandoning their mods, and people too ashamed to ask for permissions.

That is one crap skin, might as well say that model is a pile of leather of some sort.

Crap skin?
Well, look at the boar, bat or hawk from MS 1.35 ;)
I hope they will be better in MS:C :)
