alaris Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Alas, I am alive. I sincerely apologize for the long delay, but there is a good reason. I got really sick over the hollidays, and my eyes started displaying afterimages almost immediately (most noticeable while reading or looking at monitors). I saw a couple of eye doctors, and the problem has lessened a bit, but it may not go away. Needless to say, modelling and skinning have become a bit more challenging with this new problem. I wanted to add a few more hilts, but I will release the hilt pack as is (see below). I will release two versions--A MP version and a SP version. Thanks for all the interest in this project. I will submit to Lucasfiles.com within the next few days.
ronbrothers Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 It's great to see you back, Alaris. Looking forward to the release.
Prime Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 Sorry to hear about your medical troubles, Alaris. Glad things are getting a bit better... Hearing that this project is still underway is the best news I've heard around here in some time...
alaris Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Thanks Prime. The hilt pack is submitted to http://www.lucasfiles.com, and I updated the screenshot above with a better render. Enjoy!
alaris Posted May 16, 2004 Author Posted May 16, 2004 lol, it's pretty much finished. I could at least release a MP version.
Darth Stryke Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Alaris, that hilt pack is simply amazing. Comparing your film hilts to my Master Replicas props, I must say you missed no details atall. Beautiful work with them all, I especially like the last custom hilt in the pic Best of luck with future projects and with your medical issues.
Miko Reglia Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Those are so awsome alaris! I love Obi-Wan's and Qui-Gon's sabers.
Hekx Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Any chance of submitting to some other JKA sites? (jk3files.com & pcgamemods.com)

RJW_ca Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 The hilts are on the new file section in lucasfiles Just click on the link then click on download now!!! Alaris Hilt Pack for Jedi Academy good job Alaris the only thing is the Dooku saber doesn't hold downward like in the movies does anyone know how to fix that??? RJW_ca RJW_ca@hotmail.com going to be my new site with pic's of models I'm working on

alaris Posted May 19, 2004 Author Posted May 19, 2004 Eh, not sure what you mean by upside-down, since the saber looks right in that pic. As for your other issue, the hilt pack isn't compatible with any other SP hilt pack. I could release a MP version only pack if anyone's interested. Eets told me that lucasfiles was the only place people get files nowadays, but if jk3files and that other place are still up, I'll submit there as well.
CaladienJedi Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 Speaking of the devil!!! What ever happened to your playermodel?
Godzilla Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 I pray your eyes get better Alaris! Thanks for the hilts!

A lot of people use pcgamemods.com as well. But it is up to you. Again, simply outstanding work!
ronbrothers Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 The work on these sabers are absolutely beautiful. I have one small observation, though. Doesn't the diameter of the staff sabers seem out of scale? It may just be me, but the diameter seems much larger than that of the single sabers in game.

According to his pic, if you were holding the hilt down at your side and activate, the blade would extend toward your rear instead of your front. Strange, I don't have that problem (see above post).
alaris Posted May 21, 2004 Author Posted May 21, 2004 This is the one thing I loath after releasing stuff. The nit picking. Let's just pretend the jedi activate the lightsaber and then rotate in their hand for grip purposes. Or we could pretend they use the force to activate their lightsabers since they are so familiar with their hilt. I've seen pictures of mace holding his hilt in both directions, so let's not nit pick please. As far as the thickness of the double-bladed hilts, it looks like the Maul hilt is a bit thick. Oops.
Mex Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 You lot should be a bit more greatful since Alaris actually finished this even with bad eyes. No more nit-picking damnit.
El Sitherino Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 I love your mace saber Alaris! ^_^ *gives you a big hug and a hershey's kiss*

No more nit-picking damnit. I did not intend my observation to be viewed as nitpicking. I was just trying to be helpful. The rotation issue does not even show up in game for me. And the thickness was simply that.. an observation in hopes to be helpful.. As I posted earlier, your work is absolutely beautiful. Sorry if it was taken as offense.
