Bomberman65, use "[ img ] http: //www. yoursite.com [ /img ]" without those spaces I added so it wouldn't try to make it an image there; if you need a place to host the image, I've heard that http://www.imageshack.us/ is a good one from what I hear. If you need more help, just ask.

[Bomberman65]

Yeah thanks for the help and i also gave u a pic of Kyle's Lightsaber and Byar Blaster. Hope it helps for the game atleast i can help a wee bit.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Awesome Models Bomber! Not to pust or anything, but just wanted to remind you Shamus that i have responded. I know that not everybody checks their email every 5 seconds they have.

I have conceded, if I have the time this weekend, I am going to dig out my modeling software and try to get some practice done, so I can get back into the swing of things. I'll see if I can make any changes to the DFMod's Bryar pistol to get it looking more like the DF2 version, as long as they're okay with that. I'm also going to try reskinning the Stormtrooper Rifle and Bowcaster. The next step will be to model Kyle/Rahn's lightsaber. These images will be a tremendous help, me thinks. Thanks.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

BTW, even though im not officially part of the team, in JediMod someone did actually make a Rahn (aka Kyle) saber, and i tried to contact him once but no answer. I could extract the saber form the mod and find who made it, and we could get permission from that person to use it.

Well just glad i could help someway or another but i have a lot of pics from Jedi Knight so if u need some more of something tell me and i'll see if i have it.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Alright, got pics of the saber. Its by quamosity, who also made Jerec, Gork, and Yun sabers. Below are some pics to give ideas and/or to help you choose whetehr you want to use this saber:

 

[DarkStarMojo]

Awesome. I also love the saber's blade color. Is that custom too?

[Bomberman65]

Pretty good. Just a question will Kyle have a white shirt like that one or will it be the same color as in Jedi Outcast and Academy??

[Guy-Gone_Weird]

My preference would be somewhere in between. It need some weathering to avoid looking blatantly unrealistic.

 

Bomberman, if you can take JK pictures, I'd really appreciate any pictures of Sariss you can come up with (live-action or in-game or even drawings) Right now I have little in the way of he back, and a close up of her upper body.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Yeah, the skin is good other than it needs to have that weathered look, instead of being pretty much pure white. I found this skin, and i might modify it and see if i can get a resemblace of the JK kyle, even though someone i know is already doing a mod Kyle. And yes, one person from my JO side (long story) is making saber and scope mods.

[Bomberman65]

These are some of the Sariss ones i've got at the moment i'll get more later. Do these help??

Ok, I loved Dark Forces II .. and it's a shame this mod isn't as popular as it should be, nor moving along as fast as it should. I've sat idly by, waiting to see some big changes and whatnot... but it all seems to be reskins and other people's works.

 

Now, usually... this is where a trolling post would end. However this isn't a trolling/flaming post. Just for you guys, as appreciation for you dedication to the (what was almost a completely dead) mod, I have taken the reference picture of the Bryar blaster, and modelled it for you.

 

The model itself is 85% complete as we speak, then I shall texture it. If any of you are familiar with my works, that's not a bad thing . I'll post a render for you lot soon.

 

Merry early Xmas!

[DarkStarMojo]

Well, I'm only one person doing pretty much all the big work (mapping, modeling (once I get a chance to reinstall my software and practice a little more), and additional texturing skinning. We need more team members who are skilled in the mapping, coding, and modeling department before you'll see any big updates. Unfortunately, I'm a full time art student and, as I'm sure you can imagine, that's a big deal so really I have almost no time to work on the mod. I won't be able to do any major work until December and January, while I'm on break. Until then, the focus will have to be on small things like texturing and skinning.

 

Thanks for the new Bryar Pistol, btw. That's very generous of you. I look forward to seeing it, especially in action.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Shamus, we all are looking forward to joining the team . I have 3 people currently: Myself (mapping mainly, with some modeling and skinning, though i cant skin a new model ), Recon Trooper (skinning, weapon mods (he made the saber blade in those pics) and 2d design, like the HUD and such), and Galvatron Trooper (modeling, skinning (is wokring on Gran skins as we speak )). I will notify them about joining the team, and ill show them the forum here.

 

BTW, where's the private forum? Well all register probably under Zemmurk Trooper, Recon Trooper, and Galvatron Trooper, anythign different ill notify you.

 

Also, on http://www.jk2files.com, i found a Boc and a Yun skin/model. Below are links to look at, and i just got permission from the author to use them. Although the Boc has some model problems that need to be solved, along with sound reconfiguration for Boc.

Talk to you all soon,

[Bomberman65]

Hey i was just wondering will the mod have Saber throw and force push like Jedi Outcast

[DarkStarMojo]

I'll pm you the address of the private forum so we can get started asap (and because it's one less thing for Shamus to worry about ) We really should coordinate so we don't end up repeating each other's work. As for the skins, Guy-Gone_Weird made our Yun skin a while back and there's not much that I feel needs tweaking, so that's finished. That Boc skin on JK2files needs a lot of work, though. I'm not sure how useful it would end up being if we modified it but we can always give it a try if all else fails.

[Ruku]

Well here are some screens of the Bryar's model. Forgive the watermark... my Maya died, so until I gets a new one... I'm stuck in the Learning Edition.

 

Anyway, here are three seperate shots (thumbnailed for you 56kers ) I'm texturing it at the moment and will post new shots when I'm done.

 

 

Enjoy!

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Really nice

 

BTW, the POTD on JK3FILES, or here http://jediknight2.filefront.com/potd/47980, is funny in the way that it applies to the mod somewhat

[Bomberman65]

Hey i just wanted to know will force push and saber throw be in it and will the mod have all the secrets the orignal game had???

Sorry for the spelling. Its not my strong point

[ZemmurkTrooper]

Ok, guys, one question-

 

I was thinking today about how destruction could be like in the cutscenes with like a beam of light and all, and i was thinking of changing a few force powers too, but i have no idea how to change a .efx file. Anyone know how to do that?

[DarkStarMojo]

Can't say that I do. Best advice is to head over to the editing forums and ask there. I guarantee someone there will know. Anyhow, how far have you gotten map-wise? At my end, Yun is complete, level 1 is finished but requires architectural enhancements, and level 2 is coming along very slowly since I haven't had enough time to devote to it recently. I've also started principal design work on level 14 (Maw's level) and completed the first gantry. We can discuss more over at the team forums. I've PMed you the address.

[ZemmurkTrooper]

thanks a lot. Ill talk over there soon
