Help creating a curved saber?

[La-li-lu-le-lo]

Hiya all,

 

Well, first of all, I'm new here, be nice

 

But down to business. I have never modded before, but I've decided to create a lightsaber with a curved hilt, not unlike Count Dooku's (ep II), but I know I'll need help with it.

First of all, is it possible to curve a saber hilt in KOTOR?

If it is, would someone like to help me create?

And last of all, a completely unrelated topic that I shall post elsewhere regrding the ROTS mod.

 

Anyway, I would appreciate an answer

not like Count Dookus? then um, what type of Curved you talking about?

 

No Doubt you can make a new LS Hilt, i couldnt do it myself unfortunatly but you can Learn how the magic is done by going to T7nowhere's Thread Labled "Do you Want to mod SW-KotOR? Then Start here.Mod Tutorials!"

 

That will provide you with what is needed.

 

In my Personal Opinion, there is no Bad New Hilt. I Download every hilt i can get my little paws on.

 

I will Await this one's Arrival to download it myself

 

But as you say a curved lightsaber unlike Count dookus, do you mean something else or a Curved Saber that isnt count dookus? Svosh is making a Count dooku hilt. Cheak his W.I.P.

 

i'd hone my skills first with a couple of Regular Saber models before going into the complicated Curved fancy Detail stuff, Unless your familier and skilled with Gmax....

 

With this i wish you good luck. Happy Modding..... Wow... i feel like a Moderator.... Woah i just got a chill. creepy.

First you need gmax to make a new model or edit a game model.

 

You also need Mdlops . This program is used to convert KotOR's .mdl and .mdx model format into an ascii.mdl

 

and you will need Nwmax (gmax version) to load the ascii.mdl into gmax.

 

IF you make a new model, then you will still need NWmax to export the model from gmax and mdlops to convert the ascii.mdl into a .mdl and .mdx which KotOR can use.

 

LAST and this is very important to making a new model for KotOR. You need to read the tutorials that come with mdlops, and this thread Modeling tips: tuts For Gmax and 3DSMax 4 KotOR. Pay special attention to Svösh's posts. Once you get acquainted with all this you will be ready to make a curved Lightsaber.

 

ps. if you want and idea for a lightsaber design you should check out this website http://www.thelightsaber.com/history1a.htm and if you want to make a curved saber thats kinda like Dooku's how about this one Asajj Ventress Lightsaber
