adillon Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 @ TK42235 ... nice, long, informative post (about the pauldrons) there. glad to see that great minds truly do think alike ... QFE. Originally posted by adillon i was just checking out the star wars databank to see of there was anything describing the stormtroopers to help visually differentiate them. here's an idea for the squad leader ... Officers were denoted with colored shoulder pauldrons. as for the squad as a whole, *MAYBE* they could be sandtroopers, because ... Desert stormtroopers, or sandtroopers, were identical to normal stormtroopers except for their specialized training and slightly modified armor. This elite corps emphasized independent-thinking more than standard stormtrooper units. the sandtroopers especially seem to wear various types of equipment (backpacks, belts, etc). they still have the standard white color, but of all the mutliple versions of the 'trooper they seem to have the most variation.

We're talking about SP here. You can't see yourself in SP; they didn't even make Boss's orange skin in MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Oh.... hmm.... I dunno. I guess you could give other clones pauldrons too. *shrugs* Too bad this isn't for MP also, that'd be a hell of a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-425 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well maybe I could add some of the models to MP & change some menu atributes. Also some of the weapons fetures and things. But yeah, TK is right (as always:p), I am thinking of this being a SP mod. Btw TK, there are no pictures besides the one I have posted of the inside of the stormtrooper helmet is there?

Oidar Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Call me ignorant but do you need "technical" shots of the inside of a stormtroopers helmet and if so what for? I'm guessing it probably has something to do with an ingame hud. Just enlighten me a little so I may beable to help a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Well, there was the scene on Kamino of you dawning your helmet, and the inside was shown. There could be a level showing you dawning your Stormtrooper helmet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-425 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 Basicly I want to know what to make the HUD look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtech Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Well, firstly, you're going to have to know what the view looks like, so it's "goggle-looking". Health etc is probably along the bottom or sides of the eyepiece, (timesplitter style?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Originally posted by TK-8252 But you can't see yourself so what does it matter if you have a pauldron or not? but according to that very lengthy and informative post, there seems to be a different pauldron used by different ranks. so, if the members of the squad were to be of varying ranks within the imperial army/navy, then the use of pauldrons (with color coordination) would help to visually denote who is who. you know, along the lines of the color/marking variations on the clone commandos ...

But they'd just all be black. Black = standard, white = sergeant (which I'd imagine you would be), orange = captain, who leads a squad of seven troopers. Unless in Sandtrooper units, regular troopers don't wear pauldrons. For a Tatooine mission, yeah they'll all have the Sandtrooper equipment, but the pauldrons would all be black ('cept yours but that doesn't matter because you can't see it).

TK-425 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Share Posted March 10, 2005 I know this is a non issue. But just out of curiosity, what about the stormtroopers in the JK games? Some of the ranking officers wore pauldrons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the ranking officers wore pauldrons? I don't consider that canon. JO and JA had too many blatant errors with the Imperials (Imperial Officers with blue and brown uniforms and they all had a general's rank insignia). Look at the movies, and you'll see what must be a squad of Stormtroopers, and none of them are wearing pauldrons, but one of them must be their squad leader.

TK-425 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeah, thats what I thought you would say. And I agree. But I was reffering more to DF II & MotS, but dont worry about it I dont really care. Like I said its a non issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMKINGCLONE Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Maybe you could be special forces like from battleground Tatooine. And you could have 'Wings' stealing a spaceship to escape on one level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
