Lorden Darkblade Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 WordPad?! LoL :p :rolleyes: Just kidding Mono. So, any newson the sabers? You guys need help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 we are just testing the scripting and such of the placement of the sabers please be patient as this takes time. I will try to get done testing on Sunday, but that is my schedule, I don't know how busy RedHawke is. We are just trying to make sure that there is nothing wrong because the last thing we need is to release it and then have people start complaining so we have to go back and fix things.

Mono_Giganto Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey Mav I got the files, it doesn't crash, but the blade is invisible, so I fooled around with it a bit and got it to work go me! I also edited the mdl file so it wouldn't replace the MotF (what was I thinking?), hehe, it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Glad to hear that it worked... invisible huh maybe I messed up the alpha channel or something I don't know I sort of did it in a rush, but glad to here it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Oh and as far as your "sword hilt" idea it sounds cool, but I can't do that because I can't edit models, perhaps someone like cchargin could help you with that, but before I see your hilt , I would like to see Count Dooku's curved hilt... http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img8&image=icefireswords.jpg How was this done? o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 where did you find that???? I don't know how that was done, but whoever made that better tell all of us RIGHT NOW......LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorden Darkblade Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 OMG!!! Where you found that? Who made it? I want Count Dooku's Curved Hilt :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Screenshots for the Sake of Screenshots, Page 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 well in that case it should be MUCH too old of a pic to be "real" I mean that was way before cchargin even made the model importer/exporter that he has now. Maybe the picture was just edited...hmmm I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorden Darkblade Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Very weird. Anyone know that guy? We have to ask him if he did that or if he just edited the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 ^^^^^ The creator of that image dh-vug, definately edited the photo. They are 2 retouched longswords, image taken mid flourish, and then saber-ized. Remember it is the Screenshots for the sake of Screenshots thread we are talking about here.

Pennyroyal Tea Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 i think it is easy enough to edit the bonuses that come with a saber, i have been doing it for a couple days and i believe anyone could pick it up, i think someone should design some lightsabers are visually pleasing, but have easily editable qualities, such as name, description and strength just though that would make it easy for everyone to get what they want including, me, lol thanks for listening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want though you can edit the properties all you want as long as you know what you are doing, because I know how to make my sabers my way, so if you tinker with them and they crash your game (highly unlikely) don't come crying to me lol. I guess what I am trying to say is that, the best advice is to just take up modding for yourself, things like saber creation are really simple, it only gets complicated when it comes to scripting and such, things that fly right over my head that is why I asked RedHawke for help. Anyway just try and create your own blade color or your own hilt design and if you need help just ask. Mav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzro Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Originally posted by Mono_Giganto http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img8&image=icefireswords.jpg How was this done? o.O could just alter the long sword texture couldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 @ wingzro that is probably what it was an edited picture of longswords, because we all know lightsaber models can't be put in the game unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzro Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I didn't mean brushing over a screenshot. I meant adding some glow to the .tga file for the swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 @ wingzro That is also a possibilty although if you happen to come across a .tga file that does that to the long swords I'd like to have it...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyroyal Tea Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 thanks mav, and i have startedmodding on my own using your upgradable saber guide as well as a guide from T7. But the icon for my saber comes out as a yellow block, and i can upgrade it, but my crystal has a grenade for its icon, if you could help me fix this and tell me how to edit blade color (which files are needed) it would be a great help. thank you again.

If the icon from your saber is just a yellow block then you probably just need to edit the alpha channels in the.tga file. If you use Photoshop it will be very easy to do, just create a new alpha channel with black opacity about 25% and then just change what you want to show from black to white. ( I know it sounds confusing, I'm not the best person to explain photoshop...lol sorry ) I really don't know why your crystal has a grenade for an icon unless you extracted a greande picture and renamed it as a saber crystal picture. Just make sure that your .uti file has a modelvariation number above 22 (I think) and that your picture needs to be named iw_sbrcrstl_0XX to match that number. As for blade color the files you need specificly for blade color are the actual texture itself i.e. w_lsabrexxxxXX.tga the xxxx being any letters you want the game uses, blue, gren, red, yelo and so on, you are also going to need to make a w_lsabrexxxxXX.txi file which you can make on your own. All you need to do is create a new notepad document and type this in there: blending additive decal 1 then when you save it type this in as the file name: w_lsabrexxxxXX.txi make sure you have the .txi so you save it as a .txi file. Also you are going to need to edit the .mdl file so that it reads your new blade color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mono_Giganto Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I had some problems with my icons too, make sure it's sized 64x64 when you're done! It changes depending on how you edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyroyal Tea Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 thanks, ive managed to fix that problem but i have a new one, i edited the blade tga file so that it is bluse and yellow/gold but now the regular blue saber also is tht color, i changed all the file variations but the files i edited were all for the blue saber, i was wondering if anyone had encountered this problem and knew how to fix it, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 For some strange reason I've encountered several bugs and such when I extract the g_w_lghtsbr01.uti and the w_lghtsbr_001.mdl and .mdx, thsoe are the files for the blue lightsaber, so usually when I make my lightsabers I extract the green lightsaber files, I haven't had any problems with that. I know what you mean though because I used the blue files for my first lightsaber and it's blade color was blue/purple and it turned the regular blue lightsaber into it as well. Also I don't know what your file is called but it can't be w_lsabreblue01 otherwise whatever color that is will replace the blue color, and remember to edit the .mdl file to match!!
