But again, big round of applause to ChAiNz.2da for reviving mods previously lost.
Bobo Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 its good, but honestly its bad too. it looks as if it were to hit another blade it would break. lol Fatten it up, add an Anakin Blade guard and maybe a couple red buttons. lol thats my opinion
RedHawke Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Originally posted by Seprithro go ahead hit it a lick mav I'm with Sep... That saber has good "bones"... No modeling pun intended!
T7nowhere Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I like the design accept for the emmitter. It just needs something to go along with the base of the hilt. What I mean is the top looks too simple compared to the bottom. Also working on re-doing my How to make a Custom Saber Upgradeable tutorial. That would be good. But you know your gonna have to make another for TSL
Mav Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 Originally posted by T7nowhere That would be good. But you know your gonna have to make another for TSL yea I know, lol, I'll probably update the one I made with pictures and jsut aadjust it before TSL comes out I guess. I agree about the emitter too, but initially I was concerned about the poly count, but I have a good 150 to work with, so I'll update that too, I'm thinking about making a regular saber, doublesaber, and short saber, but they'll probably be either both for KotOR and TSL or just TSL it all depends, on how much time I have this week, I do still have school.
Darkkender Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 YAY is right on both points. And hey a old tutorial with a makeover is always good. Especially if it might be helpful in TSL if at all.
Darth Stryke Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I think it looks cool near the bottom. The top, looks a bit thin, perhaps make it thicker, but that is just me. Cool design, I say go for it! If you finish it now, it will probably make it easier to put in TSL.
Mav Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 UPDATE: I'll be working on the model, fixing the emitter, maybe add a few more switches and the like. The tutorial is complete I sent a copy to T7, he'll edit whatever needs to be edited and then post it when/if it's ready.
Mav Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 Better Or Worse? image=205kb Well what do you all think is it better or worse, what should I change before I skin? All comments are welcomed Color Suggestions?
Gall_4185 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Better I think. The second version looks sturdier and more durable
ChAiNz.2da Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Originally posted by maverick187 what should I change before I skin? I think it looks great as is, and if you start building the UV for it now (that's going to be 'fun'), you can have it skinned and ready for TSL Fantastic work!
T7nowhere Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I say its ready to be skinned. Just attach those swithes and Uvmap it. This should be very easy to map
RebelScum! Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Originally posted by T7nowhere I say its ready to be skinned. Just attach those swithes and Uvmap it. This should be very easy to map Agree One word post alright!...-.- nvm
Mav Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 [Ace Ventura] Allllrighty then[/Ace Ventura] I'll try and get the thing skinned when I get home from after school in the next few days, when I have the time.
Mav Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 Skinned Hilt - Not the Final Skin - img = 176kb Hopefully it is obvious that this is not how I want it to look in game..:nut:.. The black wont be sooo heavily contrasted, so you'll actually be able to see some edges unlike my last hilt, the red will be the same but the gray areas are going to be a very shiny metal, I'm thinking ohh maybe svösh's custom shader, CM_Manun.tga with his approval of course, but other than that this is basically what the saber will look like, I still haven't put any thought into the .uti or the stats, or the blade color so don't ask yet, but you can post suggestions . Oh and you probably shouldn't expect it to be released until this weekend, initially I was going to make a pack, but I'll hold off on a pack until I've thoroughly played through TSL. Mav
Mono_Giganto Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Looks good Mav, keep it up. I suggest a Green blade.
Darkkender Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 If your searching for ideas for what color to make the blade you can do what Chainz.2da did and make 1 for each color. If your afraid of tackeling this I could lend a hand. Or your welcome to adapt my guardian of the force saber & crystal in my new mod, The re-texture of the existing skin that I used sucks anyways and it would be cool to have a awesome hilt such as that being spawned from inserting that crystal into a default hilt. But then I don't know how you feel about a purple core with a blue glow lightsaber. [edit]I'm refering to my light purple handled saber not the Segan Wyndth adaptation that I did.(Those sabers don't suck)[/edit]
Mav Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 @ Mono_Giganto Green, I was thinking about that, I think that it would make a "good looking" match to the hilt, I was also thinking violet would look good, but I was also thinking yellow, because not many mods use yellow, that would be the only reason. What I'm wondering is... how does green have anything to do with monkeys Mono?.... j/k @ Darkkender The one reason I don't want to make all of the different colors for the saber is that it would take up too many model numbers i.e. w_lghtsbr_007, 008, 009, 010, etc. etc. you get the picture. I was thinking about making sort of 5 mods in one and just let the downloadee??? choose which color to install, but I'm too lazy so I'll probably stick with either green or violet. Which brings me to my next question: Vote: Green or Violet
stingerhs Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 although i still say go with what you think looks best. it is your lightsaber model, afterall.
Darth Stryke Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I like the hilt, very cool design with elements from a few film sabres in it Between your two colors, I would say Green over Violet. It would fit the saber nicely. Although I would say Orange or perhaps Yellow just because as you said, it is not used much. Now if I could only figure out why my own saber is not working....
ChAiNz.2da Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Originally posted by maverick187 The one reason I don't want to make all of the different colors for the saber is that it would take up too many model numbers i.e. w_lghtsbr_007, 008, 009, 010, etc. etc. you get the picture.

Which brings me to my next question: Vote: Green or Violet Green! Hehe, been there done that with the saber model hording. It never occured to me that we have always had the simple route available. I just completely forgot till just now. ie - Say your saber is green "w_lsabregren01.tga" If you wanted it a different color (say red), just extract the red tga "w_lsabrered01.tga" and re-name it to the gren01 filename (or whatever the exisitng color filename is). : Man that would've saved me so much trouble I'm feeling like Jolee everyday...heheh
Mav Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 ChAiNz, believe it or not, right after I finshed that post asking about the saber colors I realized that I could just plant 6-7 saber colors with the same file name into the mod and have the downloadee choose, but I don't think it would have worked for your mod because you offer the player the choice of being able to use them all. The upgrade crystal could be an ordinary "prism" allowing the reflection of all the colors, the explanation.... the crystal within this emits a color that varies with each different user and their affinity with the force.. not bad huh? Anyway thanks to ChAiNz suggestion, you will now probably be able to use any color that you want, blue, red, green, violet, yellow, orange, cyan, pink? wink, wink, ChAiNz, umm and anything else I can come up with before the end of the week. Estimated release.... 02/13/2005
