Prime Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 The character design is certainly a nice feature. Do we know for sure whether there are going to be even more options for clothes and heads, or are the ones in the demo all there is going to be in the full version? Also, has anyone tried replacing Jaden with an old JO skin? What is the player directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Thats the problem though Prime, the game is based on the different selections that are made during the customization process... So there is no ONE set directory, there is like 5 or 6 for each option, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmolatedYoda Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 it is impossible to edit the demo in any way, so it doesnt matter if anyone has tried to use a JO skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteShdw Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 all the costumes and heads seem to be part of on model, with different switchable surfaces. So every character type has one model file(.glm). I've opened the human male in modview and it doesn't look like there are any surfaces that are not selectable in the demo. There is a skin file for a hoth model, which we've seen in the screenshots. I'm not sure if this is part of the model or if this is a seperate model file. My point is that I doubt that Raven would recompile the model files with less surfaces just for the demo, so I don't think there will be more head models or other model attributes. Ofcourse it might be possible to add surfaces in a separate model file. IF that is possible the customisation options will be endless. Modellers can just add heads or bodies by making them in a seperate file. I am hoping for some more skins though. Considering most model surfaces only have one skin file, that's probably the area where it's possible to expand the options a bit. And probably the easiest as well.

Pedro The Hutt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Personally, I am CERTAIN that we will see more customisation options, for one I've seen heads and outfits and the likes in magazines which weren't in the demo. So they're took them out I'm sure. And I'm fine with that, otherwise they would've given us the entire cake already when it comes to creating characters. That and also the concept art on the official site hints at more possibilities, for example this. So anyway, I'm quite sure we haven't seen everything yet in teh character creation department.

MattJedi Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Yeah and also the fact that Raven stated there would be about 2000 possible combinations. Also said it would be rare to see someone on line that looked exactly like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 well im pretty sure that they will have a few more customization choices in the final release, just look over to the right side of this page and see the Jedi Academy banner ("Are you ready to go back to school?). It seems that that model standing in front of Luke has black hair (not avalible in the demo), and has a torso that wasnt available in the demo also. if u would like to see the full pic just take a look here: Luke Talks To Some Jedi Students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hawkeye Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Sorry guys, stop your dreaming... This "thousands of possible combinations" is just the sort of advertising fluff that companies love to underline and repeat. Of course, it doesn't seem like there would be thousands of combinations at first, but look at it this way: First, you've got all the species, the various combinations of their heads, torsos, and legs, and THEN you've got to calculate the various color combinations you can have. Use your calculus to find how how many differet character combinations that makes, and I bet you're pretty close to that 2000 mark. Yeah raven said somebody probably wouldn't look exactly like you, but they didn't say they wouldn't look reallly similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Either that, or you're really pessimistic. O_o I'm sure that there'll be at the least more options for human male & female heads than there are in the demo, for one I've seen others in screenshots ^.^ That and even if, IF you're right. What do you think a game's modability is for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrael666 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Im sure Raven would have thought to alow modders to creat new body parts. For one thing ultimatly its the same principle as making skins and models before, just broken up. When you unziped a skin in outcast, the face image was seperate to the texture of the shoes. So with the customiser you are picking a combination of skin parts to make a whole one. The bits that are colour customisable are probably blue or red in the file and can be changed by the game. If nothing else, you can probably change the ones that are already in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJedi Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Anyone can be a pessimist it takes somone with an actual positive outlook on life to be an optomist, my glass is half full how about yours, if it isnt you better fill that ****er up!!!!! Oh and I don't think the skin combos in the demo even come close to 2000 dude and I don't need my Cal to figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Actually Dr. Hawkeye is more than correct...and you really should try and calc it for yourself. Here are the options in the demo... Twi'lek Female 6 colours 8 heads 6 torsos 4 legs That adds up to 1152 possible combinations - just multiply them together. 6 x 8 x 6 x 4 = 1152 Human female 9 colours 3 heads 6 torsos 4 legs That adds up to 648 combinations. Zabrak Female - the same as the human female Rodian Male - the same as the Zabrak Human Male 9 colours 3 heads 7 torsos 4 legs That makes 756 combinations Kel'Dor Male - same as Zabrak/Rodian etc. I haven't bothered looking at the actual torsos or legs to see which ones are duplicated...but you can pretty obviously see there are far more than 2000 combinations with what is available in the demo alone.

Pedro The Hutt Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Perhaps they meant 2000 combinations per species ^.^ I wouldn't mind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJedi Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Valid your probly right, but lets think about this now, I am not going to think that being a different color is going to count as looking different from somone else, im talking actual clothing here. Thing is you might think they would all be equal as well and right now it isnt. Some characters have more heads then others and clothing then others so that leads me to suspect more also. It doesn't matter anyway skinners/modders are going to go wild with this game and make tons of different clothing so its all good. I just wouldn't say that thats it because I think theres gonna be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zod Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I can't wait for the full version to come out; I want to make Superman/Clark Kent’s head and use it in the game (and maybe make a cool suit with Kryptonian writing on it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I only wish that the generic NPC Rodian head would be there to choose from. All the Rodian heads the game came with were to... Exotic. All though some modders could probably do that if the game makers don't include it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 AUGH I'M NOT BEING PESSIMISTIC SO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!! All I have to say is that I'm afraid we have seen all the character choices. Just a hunch- no inside info, no WAREZ, just my gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJedi Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Ok dude maybe your right and maybe your wrong. I don't think Raven is going to put all of the character creation options all in a demo but thats just me. That was one of there key selling points I think there gonna have more in the full version.

fat_101 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 just remember one thing .... you are talking about the GAME charectors that u get with it .... im sure the modelling and skinning community are not gonna sit back and leave just those skins ... plus u can upload the jo skins into academy so 2000 + everything thats on all the jo sites +all the new skins/models that will be realeased after = ouuuuu yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
