Fracman Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Pretty sure. The DTs looks like this (original DF images at DFFAQ): http://www.geocities.com/darkforces_faq/dftext2.html#DF616
Ack Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 i know how it looks, but the dt have looked different in GB too
Fracman Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 Well, as I said above, the Dark Troopers (abbrev. DT) only appeared in Dark Forces (abbrev. DF). Any others are just modified Stormtroopers. point. Unless i'm wrong
Max Spiegel Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 No, I assure you, it isn't the Jetpack Trooper from Academy. That is a Dark Trooper. Heck, it even says Dark Trooper, and looks just like one save for the fact they got the color wrong and the fact it doesn't use its assault cannon. But I digress! Anyway, yes, that is a Dark Trooper. I would if I were you probably use the color scheme from Dark Forces and use the model as a reference. But that's just me. You should have Hapslash do the Dark Trooper. He'll get it right.

Unless i'm wrong Sorry Fracman, but you are wrong I have Galactic Battlegrounds (the RTS using the AOE2 engine) and one of the Imperial special units is a Phase 2 Dark Trooper. Unfortunately it only has a blaster, not a plasma cannon I guess the developers didn't do their research...
Fracman Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Ah, ok. May i have a screenshot of that one, too, please? thx.
Fracman Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 Heh... convinced, it looks like a Dark Trooper, except it is still kinda Stormie-white and not dark gray brown like in DF.
RaptorAlien Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 I kinda like the 'stormie' white, but whatever. I can just change it eventually. And for the record, you should go with the GB version as a reference. I believe Corto is working on the DTs, yes?
Kyral Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 I don't like the "stormy" white too, they are DARKtrooper! This dark-gray fits them very good.
Fracman Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Well, for the record, Corto is using Justin Chins original artwork and the DF sprites as reference.
michael_collins Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Wish he would hurry up with wip pics, im havin kittens waiting lol.....im thinking of calling the ginger one ginger and the grey one smokey and the white one snowy cliched i know but if u have better kitten names pm me
Jedi Luke Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Come on Michael, just be patient. As a wise man called Darksaber says, "Good things come to those who wait".
Suprosa Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Originally posted by Fracman Well, for the record, Corto is using Justin Chins original artwork and the DF sprites as reference. An intelligent move~ He must have the Dark Forces playuers guide or something then, it has neato concept art in there
Pahricida Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Hey there... Actually I wanted to ask for permission to edit the stormtrooper model included in the DF Demo and make a Sand Trooper out of it. But now that I know that HapSlash is working on a Sandtrooper I gues that won't be necessary anymore :> btw: Great Work!
EvilIguana966 Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 After the destruction of the Arc Hammer, the DarkTrooper project was largely scrapped. But the R&D was still there, and as you can see, there were further uses of DarkTrooper-like technology. To quote Kyle Katarn "Black Armor?! Not again!" The Darktroopers were just a bit ahead of their time, too expensive for massive deployment, and when controlled by the droid brain they could be outsmarted by particularly reasourceful beings. Hence, we see Dark Trooper-like technology in other parts of the Star Wars world. Seriously though, the troopers in JA were harder than the Jedi IMO. Those Conc Rifles could fry you fast, requiring actual forethough and care, wheras the dark jedi were simple saberplay. So maybe the empire WAS onto something.

Lando_C Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Hey guys i read your conversations in the attempt to find dark trooper references, and decided to look myself. the following site have pics whether it be toys or screen shots or what not: http://www.spencer1984.com/starwars/phase2.html http://www.geocities.com/jacksondf/ScreenShots/DarkTrooper/dark.htm http://www.geocities.com/jacksondf/InfoCenter/Enemies/enemies.htm#Ph2Dark i hope those could help
Fracman Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Thanks for the posts although we already know them
Kyral Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I found this very nice Dark Trooper Phase 2 fanmade Action Figure
Lando_C Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I recommend you guys play DF if you havent already, although its graphics are not the best and u may not have sound, nothing is gonna set a better example than the actual DT from the original DF....after all isnt this mod supposed to recreate that classic?
