DarkStarMojo Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The answer to the question is up to the members of the DF2MOD team (which...I'm not actually sure who the members are other than Shamus & sith_master2000) Hey! What about me?! sith_master2000, if you're interested in joining the team, just email Shamus (df2modtryouts@yahoo.com) and be sure to include those Kyle skin images. Also, if you'd like I could try skinning the face. I've been meaning to take a crack at something like this but I haven't had the time (I was also meaning to adjust our Yun skin, per fan grumblings but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon either). Just let me know. Zerimar Nyliram, I haven't had a chance to read all those suggestions yet (just logged on, had to say something, and there sure are a lot, lol) but I'll see to it ASAP. In the meantime, uh... who is dark_malak2001? I've heard of the Sith2 project, it's pretty cool, but there are a lot of limitations with editing the original source engine. It might be a nice idea to talk to them, at least, maybe trade some concepts back and forth. Their Sariss skin is quite good (hopefully, I can do one as good or, dare I say it, better). Finally, (yeah, long post) we'll have some screenshots soon. I need to take a couple of really good pictures, email them to Shamus, and he should be able to put them on the website. So, right now it seems I'm the one holding things up. *laughs*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'd prefer to be freelance. I'll help out when I can. Also, if you'd like I could try skinning the face. I've been meaning to take a crack at something like this but I haven't had the time (I was also meaning to adjust our Yun skin, per fan grumblings but it doesn't look like that will be happening anytime soon either). Just let me know. I'd rather not, I've tried skinning faces before, it ended up looking like someone had been vomiting all over the poor guy .

DarkStarMojo Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Nah, I'd prefer to be freelance. I'll help out when I can. Okay. You'll still get credit, of course. I'd rather not, I've tried skinning faces before, it ended up looking like someone had been vomiting all over the poor guy . Umm, right. But I wanted to try skinning the face for you, if you're cool with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll send you the pk3 file via e-mail. PM me your address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 In the meantime, uh... who is dark_malak2001? Your website said that that was the email of the new project leader who took over for the one that left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicerDude Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Your website said that that was the email of the new project leader who took over for the one that left. If by "website" you meant this thread, then you are correct; that is (or was) the e-mail address of "Mr._Katarn," the person who restarted the mod, started this thread, and subsequently disappeared. Shamus later took over, and the mod's website is actually at http://shamusworld.gotdns.org/df2mod/ and the address to email is df2modtryouts [at] yahoo [dot] com. Do tell us if you ever hear back from that dark_malak2001/Mr._Katarn guy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Your website said that that was the email of the new project leader who took over for the one that left. http://shamusworld.gotdns.org/df2mod/faq.html At the bottom of the page, it provides contact information. I think you might have the wrong address, but I'd be interested in knowing what website it is you've stumbled upon. As for your suggestions, let's see... 1) basically, that's what we'd like to do. Changing the way the lightsaber combat functions would too adversely affect the gameplay, so I don't think we'll be changing it at all. 2) The morality scale is difficult. We've actually discussed that earlier in the thread but we need skilled coders/scripters to work on it, which we currently lack. All the cutscene-related material makes sense. Bare in mind, the original cutscenes are place holders. Even if we can't make all new ones a few small in game cinematics should be entirely do-able. 10) I've had this idea for the longest time. It just makes things feel more Star Wars movie quality. 11) No problem. 'Tis a small title change. EDIT: SlicerDude beat me to the punch with the whole website thing.

Bomberman65 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I was just wondering will the lightsaber combat be the same as in Jedi Outcast and Acamdey? Because i perfered that lightsaber combat better than the one in JK but it was good for its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Vougalot Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well that's good. I thought the whole point of making this MOD is to be able to do in JK all the awesome things you can do in JA. If the saber fighting were the same as it were in JK, the what would be the point of the MOD? Better graphics, and that's all. Some things need to be like they are in JA, and one of the biggest of those is the lightsaber combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomberman65 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 So is that a yes that the lightsaber combat will be the same as the combat in Jedi Outcast and Acamedy???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith_master2000 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes it will be the same as in JO and JA. That's what Mojo said.

Bomberman65 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Ok thanks i just wasn't sure cause it would suck if it was the same as JK aye?? Well keep up the good work can't wait till the demos out not that i'm rushing u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStarMojo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 To everyone patiently waiting for a glimpse at how things are going, this is what you've been waiting for: http://shamusworld.gotdns.org/df2mod/screenshots.html These are a tad bit old so some of the as-of-then unrecreated textures have been completed (specifically, the doors). Stayed tuned for future updates and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomberman65 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Awsome man awsome but u r going to replace the new reborn with Yun right the reborn was just for refence aye?? Also wat is the HUD going to be is it going to be like on Jedi Academy or like on JK??? Great job keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Wow! That looks really great! Those Sith statues are a nice touch. Even though I'm mostly an original-game purist, I say keep 'em. Bomberman65: Now, I have no affiliation with the team whatsoever, but I'm going to answer your question: Of course they're going to replace the reborn with Yun. I mean, duh! Use your common sense.

DarkStarMojo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 The stautes, though not part of the original map, are present in the original cutscene. The whole style and atmosphere of the new version is based largely on the original fmv and that's something I've been trying to reproduce in other maps. (If you haven't guessed already, this is my work). The HUD is temporary, until we can get a new one made which will resemble the original JK as closely as possible.

Bomberman65 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Also with Kyle's lightsaber will it resemble the one in the cutscenes?? like when u throw it will it be the same as the one in the cutscenes? And sorry i wasn't using my common sense well i just got out of bed so thats y my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 No problem. I only had 4 hours of sleep (three last night, one this morning) before sitting through a six hour art class, so I understand where you're coming from. As for the lightsaber, we are going to have a new model like the one from the cutscenes, it just hasn't been made yet. Like I said, these are early screens so things are still running off the JA "superstructure" at the moment. That will change eventually. And thanks for the good comments guys. C&C is greatly appreciated so I can figure out what to change for the benefit of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith_master2000 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 um really really off topic but sithmaster whered ya get the starwars smileys i want em Vorec= still working still recreating, They came from LucasForums, I just looked for them in the smileys list and put them in my signiature.
