Seprithro Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 lack of color?! have you seen Type-G?! no offence taken matt, in fact i really tried very hard to address this problem with my models, I told svösh I was "getting bored with standard black and chrome scheme" but here's the thing, I found it very hard to create skins of a colorfull nature, I biggest problem, is I always see lightsabers as made of metals (chrome, steel) with a few synthetic parts of things like grips ect. (rubber ribbed placstic ect) I have always seen sabers as the exception to the rule of "dirty space" thats why mine are all shiney and stream line metal (except sion) But I see what you are saying, thats why i add tiny bits of color in whenever I can, see the only problem with that is, adding a color that will match the overall hilt, and every blade color see it's easy to add two red orbs to Nihlius hilt, because that blade is constant red, but those same red orbs, wouldn't cut it on a blue blade. Well theres my excuse for lack of color, hope I got my meaning across, like chainz said, we think you'll all like the in-game results, the first time you take your brand new custom saber to the workbench and upgrade it's color crystal, it will be so awsome you wont care besides there are a couple of colorfully hilts in the pack also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T7nowhere Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 There are some hilts with color ,but like Sep said typically Lightsaber hilts are not that colorfull. I doubt you will be to worried about that when your get your hands on the mod. I think the biggest problem will be deciding which ones to use. Although this mod is taking longer than I anticapated, we hope you all will think its been worth the wait when its complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides no matter when we get it, it will be just as exciting and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seprithro Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 just an estimate but i would say probly 15-25mb zipped, and ummm problem more than 50mb unzipped, my files unziped alone are almost 15mb, hmm and i just have a few so maybe more, maybe over 100mb unzipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sep's estimate is probably "spot on" unless T7 and svösh have some Uber model out there they've yet to share with us hehehe... My uncompressed projects is around 10-12mb total, but when compressed with .rar... it knocks it down to 2.5mb... The initial download file shouldn't be that much of a crunch, just unpacking the sucker might take a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edawan Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I can't wait to get this mod ! I also love how the new hilts stick to the SW design. They will really integrate well with the universe. Also, I haven't read everything through, so here's one question: will the sabers have special stats or will they be like the existing ones ? (I'm concerned about unbalanced mods that give you too powerful items, when there's no need as the game is really easy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 Some of the non-upgradeable lightsabers will have added stats, However they will be small like +1 Defense, +1 blaster deflect. Just something more to make each saber stand out from the others, But we are Being VERY carefull not to add big stat bonuses. With the Standard Lightsaber Upgrades you can get pretty powerfull lightsabers allready so this is something we consider when adding saber bonuses. The few Non-upgradable Lightsabers will have lager bonuses but will not excede what you would normally be able to get with normal upgrades.

ChAiNz.2da Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Just so no one thinks we've given up I figured a little progress report is due... T7 is currently neck deep in scripting chaos let us all wish him well.. heheh So in order to help ease his burden, he asked that I give the Disciple saber a go around.... Not being a big fan of the nancy-boy, I figured I should at least give him a decent saber.. maybe to help redeem him I wasn't sure which direction to go in so, I decided to start with this: Disciple Sneek Peek The source saber is based off of Jocasta Nu's model. Since she is the "Librarian" for the Jedi Temple, I thought that pretty much fit the bill for good ole' Disciple boy... Mine isn't an exact replica, and I've still got to add buttons, smoothing groups and such (poly reduce).. but it's at least something to give you an idea. The skin will probably be a very close resemblance as well... any thoughts? Jocasta Nu source p.s. THANK YOU so much T7nowhere & DarthSmallz for providing me links to get the Mac GUI for the PC.
