Nilock Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 The team is trying to port everything over to JA, things are looking very good for us. Expect some more high class updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 So it'z going to be only for JA? I think it will be cool to have it for both games. I don't have JA....yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Come on, we're not miracle workers!! . There's just not enough time to create the mod for both jk2 and ja. Everything will have to be ported over and things manually changed, which takes time. Plus, JA has a lot more scripting capabilities for MOD enhancement compared to the jk2 engine. Thanks for the compliments:) Btw, get JA ASAP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth NeoVenom Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Oh ok. When I downloaded the demo for JKII, it looked awesome. So that means that it will look evem better on JA? I have to get it. The only problem is I have no money at the current time. It costs $50, right? (By the way, what does LOD mean? I see it a lot on jk2files.com when I'm downloading models.)

Jedi Luke Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yes it will be better on Jedi Academy. As for LOD, a LOD stands for Level Of Detail, which is in reference to a model. There's a lot more to this (incl. polys) but i'm guessing you just wanted to know what LOD meant. If not, then check here and click on 'What is a LOD?'

Darth NeoVenom Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Pretty Interesting. I wish I can learn how to model and skin or do anything else. I tried to give it a go by reading some stuff on it, but it was complicated. If I know how to do it, I would have done a Darth Maul model but with a cloak and a Padme Amidala (Episode I) model. Maybe I'll put more effort and try to learn. Is it hard to script, create maps, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilock Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 It took me around 4 years to get good at level design, and I'm still learning how to do it. Scripting ICARUS is extreamly new to me, but with out it level designers could not breathe life into the levels they create. If your interested in creating maps start out small, very small. create one room and work on that one room until you feel absolutly comfortable with GTK Radiant. Then start to move to bigger things. I started with MP maps that me and my friends would play at LAN parties, now I'm doing my first Single player level, there is a big difference between the two but its not a big enough gap to get totally lost in. If you have any questions post them here and I'll try to answer. Always willing to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Yeah, ICARUS scripting is very important to give maps functionality. These include, dynamic music, cutscenes, mission objectives plus many other things. And if you are going into mapping, click here for an excellent Radiant tutorial. Yeah I know its for jk2 and not jka but its almost the same thing. This tutorial will set the grounds for mapping, then its up to you to decide what you want in your map. Good luck with whatever you do and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSteve-O Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 im gettin ja soon as it come out for mac, which should be this month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicerDude Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Darth NeoVenom: I'm not sure how expensive JA is now, but if the price hasn't dropped yet, it will before this mod's ready. I'd watch for sales around Christmastime (before and after), but also know that the price will drop just like it does for all other games. Just checked Amazon-$45. And I bet you could find a better deal elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yeah, just make sure you grab yourself a copy of JKA. You'll get one well before the mod is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
