New MECK for TSL--The Death Star


Darkkender

Recommended Posts

Okay for anybody interested in helping on this you can post here or PM me. I will be going into stealth modder mode as I began a new MECK project for TSL trying to build the Death Star. "Wha-What" you might say. I say "Yes, I'm that evil". Okay what I need is feedback and suggested add-ins. One thing I intend to do is have some new recruits involved.

 

What I could really use somebody who could develop a really good TSL Darth Vader, & Emperor set of appearances. If we can pull it off as well various imperial officers uniforms.

 

I plan to try to make this a galaxy wide sidequest so there will be some global editing. Anybody with experience in this would be really great(Redhawke :p ).

damn, i really enjoy 'movie remakes' and this sounds interesting to me. i smell a included stormtrooper mod then :D

 

i think imperial officers could be really easy. would be a reskin of the cherka guys and the rebellions with a helmet turned in black for the guys in that weapon room.

 

it could be all intersting, cause the whole game is kinda like the crew of the last episodes. hanharr (chewbakka like), atton (quite like solo), t3m4 (like r2d2) and so on.

Well most of what you guys have mentioned would work out well except I actually itend to throw together as many of the NPC's as possible. Actually do Han, R2, 3PO, Chewbacca, & others. Of course for much of it to work I will need to wait patiently for the model format to be rebroken so we can port the stormtrooper mod and some of the resources from the other MECK Projects. I'm not sure who the new Recruits will be but I might try to set it up to recruit based on your alignment for certain people. Such as Darth Vader and The emperor if your Darkside & some of the others if your Light Side.

Good idea Darkkender, I think you can pull this off.

 

If you need any help with the script (like, what the characters say), just let me know.

 

The KotOR modules were all extremely well done, I mean, never in a thousand years could I do that, so I don't mean any disrespect. Anyway, of the three I tried, all had very poor grammar/spelling and didn't make a lot of sense. This kinda ruined the experience for me. With a little effort and consideration, a good story can make a module 100% better, imo.

Yea. I wouldn't be able to help much with any story for the meck, as I'm really not that knowledgeable in the world of Star Wars... (my girlfriend might know something), but I'm a pretty good writer, and with all the modjalatin' knowledge y'all have passed unto me, I'd like to give something back, if you need it.

Well as far as Grammar & spelling my problem comes from not writing as much as I used to so I've become rusty. I can't speak for others here but many of those that write mods do not necesarily speak english as a native language and many of them have to try to translate it using various translator programs which are not accurate. However I would also like to take a moment to note that even game developers make frequent typo's.

Mav your assistance will be greatly accepted and apreciated. Tonight I'm going to begin extracting the modules I want to use then I will be working on the layout.

Well I'll admit I'm not going to rush myself on this one. I personally want to take my time and also see what we can get imported over from previous MECK projects. In particular the Stormtrooper armor. But I would honestly like to try to get as many new models as possible in which may mean waiting on cchargin.

 

Also other NPC recruit ideas include Lando Calrisian, a Sullastan pilot, and maybe Mon Mothra or even Leia.

 

Thinking of Lando did somebody do a skin/head for him for KOTOR 1?

but i think there was a similar droid

 

Actually Prime did a R2 reskin for KOTOR 1. I would be lying if I said the idea for a R2 skin was original especially the use of alpha channels to get the metal look through out. There are some definete differences between mine and prime's and I could show you some screenies of his versus mine. That way you can see the differences between them. I however have not released this skin as of yet because I intend to get Prime's permission for usage of an R2 skin for the final release. No matter how far the differences are from his.

 

*edit * Infact here are some screenies of Prime's to compare the differences to mine above.

Here is a list of my current planned recruits. I would like to get myself up to 10 light side and 10 darkside recruits and a handfule of neutrals. Any feedback or suggested add-ons would really be welcomed.

 

 

Lightside:

R2D2

C3PO

Han Solo

Luke Skywalker

Princess Leia

Chewbacca

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Yoda ??(May not happen depending on if the mdl is in TSL or not)

 

Neutral:

Lando Calrissian

Sullastan Pilot(Not named yet)

 

Darkside:

Darth Vader

The Emperor

Grand Admiral Thran

R5X5(Imperial Astromech/Assasin droid)

Boba Fett(May depend on if we have imported new models by the time we hit release.)

CXP1(Protocol Droid with Assasin programming)

 

Also this mod really will need to be able to make use of the Stormtrooper armor when Prime re-does it for TSL. I also plan to adapt Mandalore's armor and reskin it black with some slight changes to try to acomplish a TIE fighter pilots flight suit.

Just wanted to let you know that your project sounds killer. Any new location is a good thing esp. the Death Star. Need any help laying the smack down on the model skins and graphics PM me and let me know. Project sounds killer.

 

You might (if you haven't already) hook up with the writer of the Vader Saber hilt out now in the threads. His hilt would most likely fit in with your project I bet.
