JK3:Yoda Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hello fellow warriors, I was wanting to be Yoda in Jedi Knight Academy Multiplayer mode. I have seen someone playing as small little Yoda with dual sabers already but I didn't get around to asking him where he got his skin/mod? from so here I am seeing whats up!

Kurgan Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 If you saw him use it in the game you were in then you must have auto downloaded his mod already. Check your base folder. There already exist several yoda models (both small and large.. the small ones requiring you run a mod that allows different heights for players), made for JK2 that may work in JA already.

JK3:Yoda Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Thank you for the quick reply Kurgan, unfortunately I have reinstalled my game since visiting the server hosting the Yoda Model. Would you link me to a download for the smaller sized Yoda? P.S. I downloaded (Yoda_Kinja.zip 2mb) The Yoda Model from JK2 but the model is too large to use.

idontlikegeorge Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Wouldn't there be some balancing issues with playing as a small character? Wouldn't that make you harder to hit? Or does it retain the same damage hitbox? Personally, I like the giant-head Yoda better myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just reinstalled, and didn't remove the Jedi Academy folder manually, it should still be there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryyn Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 It probably was the yoda-kinja it depends on the server for yodas scale not the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK3:Yoda Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 When I said I reinstalled the game, I removed it completely making sure nothing was left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK3:Yoda Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yoda-kinja hey?, I will be hosting a LAN Party and will be heading up the dedicated Jedi Academy Server so I will have complete control over the server. If this Yoda I saw appearing small has to do with the server's configuration then please do inform me specifically on the settings to configure to produce the same Yoda I saw that was small.

Aryyn Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I would bet money that it was the yoda kinja model just scaled down on the server, ive been around a long time ive never seen a little yoda model just the kinja scaled down because it is the best yoda model availible. As for how get him to scale ive seen pages that explain how to do it back in the day on jk2 when the jedimod 1.2 came out, go to jediknightii.net im sure they will have something on it or just search the web there has to be some pages on it.

Aryyn Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Or start a new thread about how to get him to scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK3:Yoda Posted October 14, 2003 Author Share Posted October 14, 2003 Taking a step back here Kurgan, I forgot to mention a point- I joined the JA Server and noticed Yoda with dual sabers and even fought against him in a duel but I couldn't choose to be him, why do you suppose that was.. a server hosting Yoda but not showing up on your profile list of charaters to choose from?

Starfire13 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Andy, perhaps you got confused because there are two people using the same yoda avatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoguy Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Jedimod wont work in JA ..Tried it..Isnt there a way you can add a script to the JA game so Yoda and possibly jawas are allways the right scale without having to load a mod ..?

Cryptoguy Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I managed to scale down an npc yoda but the saber blade is to long ..how can I shorten it in the npc file so its just yodas blade that is smaller ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire13 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I think you can declare a new saber type, and specify the length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 The fact that Yoda was not selectable as a character means nothing. Putting new skins in the profile menu is something the mod author has to do purposely. It could have been a JK2 mod that just wasn't completely compatible with JA, but it was so small you didn't notice it being downloaded as you joined (or perhaps it was part of another mod that you already auto-downloaded). Now it is possible, though fairly slim, that there is a hidden Yoda skin in JA that nobody has found yet, but I kind of doubt it, what with all the poking around people have done. People have found a "yoda saber" but there's no model for it, so I'm told. My guess is it was just a skin you got from the server. If you see it again, take some screenshots and ask the guy how he did it. The model scaling thing was featured in some mods for JK2, and Raven (again IIRC it was Mike G) said it was considered too "unbalanced" so it wasn't included as a feature, though they had considered it (this debate goes back to the development of Q3 btw... originally the ID team wanted to make the models different sizes and healths/speeds, but decided against it... that it would make balacing too unnecessarily difficult).

Cryptoguy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I thought Raven wouldv'e got the hint with the jedimod etc ... Yoda is one of (if not the) most popular characters in Star wars..I'm sure the demand on this forum wouldv'e nudged them in the right direction ?

Cryptoguy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 My yoda_NPC mod is up on http://www.pcgamemods.com It should also be available on Lucasfiles as soon as they post it or not as the case may be ... Hope y'all like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Raven didn't copy JediMod in any way shape or form, many people assume that but it's simply not true. They didn't need any "hints" from them. And who's to say they found JediMod balanced anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoguy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I wasn't saying they copied it ! I was pointing out the demand for a Yoda model in the game due to his popularity and that they shouldv'y included him in the new game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
