DarkStarMojo Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Most importantly: did the contents of the suggestions thread survive? I believe I have a version of it saved on my HD somewhere. I'll have to look but if there's anything that you really want to suggest (or resuggest just in case I can't find the backup) don't hesitate to post them here. So do you need any help? i don't have much experience but would be willing to help in what ever way i can. let me know. That depends on where your talents lie. You don't necessarily need to have experience working on a project (I didn't when I started out) but it is necessary to have a degree of talent in mapping/textures/coding/etc. to get a spot on the team. But don't hesitate to let us know if you think you can help out in a particular area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i'm barely getting into mapping/modeling so i'd say let me get the feel for that before i open my mouth anymore but i can post some ads in other forums to see if i can recruit some more helpers for you. if that helps.

hhunter6 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 are you still going to use the original cut scenes from DF2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yes we are. Creating 100% original cutscenes would be too much work at this point, especially with our limited staff and time. Good news is, I'm finished with DFMod and on break from school, so I have time to get back to work on JK. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

hhunter6 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 have you guys decided when you will update the website? i also had a question about the weapons. have you considered talking with the guy who updated the orginial game to see if you could use his weapon models?

DarkStarMojo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 have you guys decided when you will update the website? i also had a question about the weapons. have you considered talking with the guy who updated the orginial game to see if you could use his weapon models? We talked with someone from a JK update project but I believe there was more than one. I don't actually think we were able to use any of their assets without heavy modification at which point it probably be easier to just make our own models. I have to personally apologize for not getting any screenshots for updating the website but there haven't been a whole lot of mapping developments on my end. I'm largely working toward getting the textures and menu graphics finished and making a few minor adjustments to narshadda for the demo release which, if all goes according to plan, should finally be ready. In the meantime, with the DFMod finishing up I've been working like gangbusters to correct the errors in detention center - which, I can proudly tell you have been corrected - and work on some additional "stuff" for the mod that I hope to be able to release on my own later.

Crimson Emperor Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 So you are going to add Nar Shadda?? If so it's wonderfull. It's one of my favourite levels back from DF and JK. Hey about the JK project..what is about the JK(DF2) into JK2/JA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when you think the DF2 demo may come out. I must say with the map screen shots you have up it looks very impressive. looking forward to it.

Forceboat Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well, right now I think the website is DOWN, at least on my computer. Server crash or...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedispy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yep, it's down for sure. I also tried to go to your message board (http://df2mod.freeforumhost.com) but am getting an SQL error there. Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/freeforu/public_html/config/multiforums.config.inc.php on line 15 phpBB : Critical Error Could not query config information DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1017 Can't find file: './freeforu_sebflipper/df2mod_config.frm' (errno: 13) SELECT * FROM df2mod_config Line : 277 File : common.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, the message board has been down for over half a year. I'm really worried about the suggestions thread. I poured my whole heart and soul into it, and I hope it isn't all gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The message board is pretty much gone for good. We were dealing with a lot of spambots (pretty much the same affair as MOTS) and freeforumhost wasn't too reliable with their network. They went down entirely for a good two months last year. We have an internal message board that we're supposed to be opening to the public. Shamus was going to make some adjustments to improve its superstructure, so to speak, but life seems to have gotten in the way. I'll email him about it and about the current situation with the website to see what's up. Sites do go down from time to time so I wouldn't worry about it right now. It's hasn't been down very long from what I understand. i wonder if it was Shred18 over at JKHUB. he replaced alot of the models an what not in the original game. i think his Raildet weapon was pretty sweet. Any idea when you think the DF2 demo may come out. I must say with the map screen shots you have up it looks very impressive. looking forward to it. A lot of the original JK Models (and this includes the updated version) lack proper skeletons. In order to use any of the playermodels/NPCs we'd have to add skeletons, re-weight them, etc. which would be almost as difficult as making a new model from scratch. I'm not sure what we're going to do about weapons. The demo will be using retextured versions of the DFMod guns but they're likely to be place holders only. As a time frame, I'm not prepared to commit to anything. This project has, after all, taken a lot longer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedispy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 This project has, after all, taken a lot longer than expected.Tell me about it. SOTE Mod has had the same troubles. Tell me, do you enjoy it as much as I do when someone contacts you expressing great enthusiasm to help with the mod, begging to join, only to suddenly disappear and never do a #@$% thing?

Darth_Linux Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 We have an internal message board that we're supposed to be opening to the public. that's not the one that is shared with DFMOD is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 that's not the one that is shared with DFMOD is it? No it's a separate forum hosted on Shamus' website. It's only internal because we were testing it out to make sure all the code and whatnot worked correctly but it's always intended to be public at some point, to replace our downed Freeforumhost board. Tell me about it. SOTE Mod has had the same troubles. Tell me, do you enjoy it as much as I do when someone contacts you expressing great enthusiasm to help with the mod, begging to join, only to suddenly disappear and never do a #@$% thing? YEE HAW!!!!!!!! Oh hell yes. It's wonderful. And on that note, the website is back up. Just server glitches, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frendon Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Wow, I thought I would check this today and what a surprise, the 6 level mod has been released, I'm downloading it right now, thanks a lot DF Mod team.

NitroTab Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 If You guys at DF2 mod are looking for a new alternitive to freeforumhost you should really think about looking into signing up to this free IPB forum, they are called IPBfree http://ipbfree.com/home/ I used to have a forum with freeforumhost and had similar problems as you but then switched to IPBfree and I have to say it's far better, give them a try.

Darth_Linux I just realized we joined this forum on the same month 2002?? It has been 6 years... wow time just flies by. wow, time does fly! make sure you read the bug list and delete text.pk3, localized.pk3 and artwork.pk3 files before playing and that will fix a few of the worst things. we're about done with the patch and then there will be another massive download which fixes everything and includes all the cutscene videos that are presently missing from the beta release.

Sir Vougalot Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just checking in to see how things are going with the Jedi Knight team. Um, are they going at all? I'm so enthused about this mod so I'd better not see you guys quit! Any progress getting the new forums up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedispy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Last I heard DF2MOD is still going, but they're drifting in the game mod doldrums. I imagine that if there are any extra mappers & modelers they should ask if they can join them. We mod teams need all the help we can get!!
