Chairwalker Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hiya, from the moment i played JA i was severly dissapointed in the way the custom rodians looked. The models and textures are exellent, but they look like some kinda mutated rodian sub-race. So, me being the rodian freak that i am, i decided to adjust the heads. http://www.geocities.com/stoelloper/rodianheads.txt (that pic kinda reminds you of that Queen music video doesnt it ? ) As you can guess, the heads at the bottom are the altered ones. While im doing this god-awfull job (i intend to include facial animation, and LODS) i thought i might aswell alter some of the clothes aswell. But the only thing i can come up with is to remove the 'hip flaps' from torso nr4, 'cuz they make the otherwise perfect outfit look pretty dorky IMO. Anything you guys would like to see changed ? (Any suggestions on the heads are welcome, after all these are supposed to be 'improved' rodians) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 the heads looks really good, are they going to replace the current ones or are they just gonna be added to the collection of heads available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairwalker Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 I plan to replace to current ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I assume by "replace" you mean "this is a seperate model class". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMarz1 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Actually I see no reason to overwrite the old ones, because its so easy to add new skins that are selectable. I think that would be best anyhow, not that yours dont look good... they do! Its just that it would be good for variety. Mars out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairwalker Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hmm, yes. A seperate model class would be a good idea now that i think of it. A little variety never killed anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sXepticon Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Wow finally! i thought to that the Rodians in JA just dont look right. The third one even looks like a female rodian lol (even though i didnt see any..lol are there Rodian woman???) And yours look really cool an tough, just how they should look. I vote for replacing the old ones. btw. any chance you release them soon? or are you planning to do more for the rodians before you release them? Maybe you could release heads today?

Chairwalker Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Nope, its gonna take quite a while to re-weigh the entire mesh and make some lods. And yes, there was a female rodian in the movies. (although she looked like Greedo with a wig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorace Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Well, I'm working on figuring out how to add customizable player body part icons to the game. The whole transparency thing is tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sXepticon Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Chairwalker I'd love to add some new torsos and legs, but i really dont know what to add... Well for torso maybe some leatherjackets (like "mad Max" or Fallout) Some armor platted jacket or harness. Maybe some pistol holsters on each side of of the Torso. just something like that..it aint hard to think of that stuff is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Wow! This is exactly what I needed! I like Rodians, and I wanted to be a Rodian in Jedi Academy,... but those very "exotic" faces turned me away. I'll really be looking forward to this!

Maybe someone can replace all the sounds in the Jaden folder with some sounds from the Rodian thug...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usurpo Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Aye, perfect English comming from a Rodian...there is somthing wrong there. Now, as long as we are editing, I have some ideas...*several people fall over* First of all, some Storm Trooper and Clone Trooper armor! And now only for rodians, but perhaps even for the other races...? Perhaps some Jango Armor...the works. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
