Dark Forces 2 Mod

[DarkStarMojo]

Great to hear from you, Speh. Well, it would certainly be beneficial to combine our resources. There are a lot of JK textures, for instance, which are used in Sith that we can do, and I can certainly work on these dual textures for both mods, no problem.

 

And posting a point just to show that im a bad guy is not exactly something i would do or would want to see, i personally dont approve ove it

 

I didn't see it that way and, personally, I don't know how this snippet of conversation could possibly put you in a bad light. Now, that being said, yes. There's no need to post private conversations on a public forum where the interest of the fans is in the development of the mod, not our personal gripes with so and so. In the future, to everyone, PLEASE DO NOT POST PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS HERE, for whatever reason. Try to keep this space related strictly to how the mod is doing, etc. I know none of us on the team are mods or administrators but it's easy enough to contact one if we feel problems are persisting.

 

Now, just to keep myself from breaking my own rules on getting off the topic of the mod, narshadda is about 60% complete and progressing steadily. There's also been a lot of progress on Gorc and Pic and work has begun on level 6, "Into the Dark Palace".

I plan to register for the MotS boards as soon as I can, but I'll let you know I'm available to do texture art at the moment, but not much else as I've got two maps to work on full time and another I'm doing architectural improvements for. Maybe by the middle of the summer, though, I could do some light Sith map work. Maybe the dark swamp *hint hint*

 

i will need some texture work done. i need you to recreate the MOTS/JK HUD exactly how it is seen in-game then i can chop it up and make it work in JA for the mods.

[DarkStarMojo]

Wait, I thought you said you had already made half of the Hud.

 

I'm a bit busy at the moment with the different maps I have to do, but hopefully I can register by the weekend or the beginning of the next week, the latest, just to give you a time frame. We'll talk more in depth then and work out what textures, HUDs, skins, level textures, need to be done. And now it's time for this modder to get some sleep.

[Darth_Tempust]

i have already made the left side of the HUD, but i'm no texture artist and it doesn't look as good as it should so thats where you come in.

 

i will need both left and right, but i don't need left HUD's armor and health bars just the frame.

 

here is a pic of the current Left HUD:

btw i put that convo peice there just cuz i thought it was funny, fyi.

im not trying to blacklist you zem, jeez ur so paranoind.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

....no comment.

[DarkStarMojo]

Alright guys. I don't care what the domestic siutuation is here but let's keep it off the forums and keep it in private. And that goes for everyone.

[Darth_Tempust]

ok, i have finally finished the MOTS/DF2 HUD:

now i can change the font to what it looks like in MOTS, but it doesn't resize very well so i stuck with the old JA one.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Awsome, when you use force does it deplete?

[DarkStarMojo]

That looks really great. Only thing, the shields should get progressively darker shades of green, not just go completely black. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is that the skin could use a little pock-marking, metal scratches, and the like. You've like me to work on it a bit, I'll pm you an email address where you can send it.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Yeah, true. JO used generally the same design, so you could even use some of their textures to touch it up.

[Darth_Tempust]

thanx DarkStarMojo, i would like your help.

 

and yes, i have made the force decrease by using the dissolve effect in photoshop. the armor and health get progressively darker not just from full to black, it fades to black. the health, armor and force indicators all work. the only thing that doesn't is the battery level indicator.

[DarkStarMojo]

Ah, it looked a bit like it just turned black. Never mind.

 

Anyway, check your pms.

[Darth_Tempust]

ok, just sent you an email with a download link from rapidshare for the HUD.

[SlicerDude]

Looks great! Although I do agree that a little weathering or something wouldn't hurt. Keep it up!

[Cruiser X]

Hey, are you going to make those DF2 lightsabers avalible in a regular saber-pack? I can't belive no one's modeled Rahn's lightsaber before!

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Well, not really, but everyone has the option of re-pk3ing everything to their satisfaction for MP enjoyment. Also, there have been two attempts that i know of other than this one at remodeling Rahn's saber, one in a mod for JO and the other by Inyri Forge.

[SD_Radical_Ed]

hey, hold off on that zem.cruzer, ill see about releasing it in a seperate pack. im not making any promises but ill get bac to you on it.

[DarkStarMojo]

I guess this is my fault for not mentioning it on the team forums, but we will eventually release the sabers as a separate pack so that servers can choose to use them for their games. In fact, Gaara has been spearheading this idea for sometime. But we're going to wait just a bit.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Yeah, i talked to Gaara as soon as he posted.

[Darth_Tempust]

well, i don't know if the DF2 mod team needs it but i have almost finished my Yun Saber for MOTS mod:

 

[SD_Radical_Ed]

nope. all the sabers are done. ( i did them ) check towards the botom of the last page, theres an early WIP screen of my sabers.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Id actually like to compare them side-by-side, if one is better then well use it, i mean certain sabers have been made repeatedly and we want to use the best we can get.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

I know, double post, but i compared them side-by-side, and i dotn know, i woudl actually lean towards Tempust, its the most accurate one and personally has more character to it. Below is the pic, decide yourself .

 

 

And the real one..

 

[Neon]

I would wait untill Tempust his hilt is in game, because the quality will go down with the q3 engine.
