Curs0r Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Howdy all, I figured out a way to get the lightsaber hilts from Jedi Academy and get them into TSL (yes I overcame my poverty level and bought TSL) however while i can figure that out, I don't have photoshop to convert the textures. If anyone would want to join in on the fun and help out with the textures I'd really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Well, firstly we need to clear some things up ... 1. Are your ported over models the original (in-game) lightsaber hilt models from Jedi Academy, or are they mods for Jedi Academy? 1.1. If they are the original files, than it is illegal to port them over from JA to TSL, plain and simple. 1.2. If they are mods than you will need the permission of the original author to release them for download, but if you aren't going to release them than you're fine and if you made them then you're all set umm I think that covers everything, Mav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Originally posted by Curs0r It's illegal to port models? If you distribute them as mods, yes. If you own both games and are porting them for your own personal use, no. It used to be that you could provide instructions to help others who wanted to make similar, personal use mods. However in the interest of avoiding scrutiny, it seems that even that is verboten now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curs0r Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Well then, I guess its a good thing that A) I own both games. B) I haven't shared the models with anyone. and C) I didn't post how I did it. I think I'll drop this issue and go hide now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curs0r Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Um is it ok to make sabers that use the saber hilts already included in TSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHawke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Originally posted by Curs0r Um is it ok to make sabers that use the saber hilts already included in TSL? Certainly! As Achilles stated above, it is just the porting of any models from other games that we cannot discuss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T7nowhere Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 If its in TSL then your free to discuss and mod it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curs0r Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Oh thank god! I spent 3 days making a complete set of "training" sabers in each color and style for a little mod idea I have. I didn't make them available for download because I don't think anyone would be very interested in them. They don't require the lightsaber proficiency, they won't block blaster bolts, and they don't do as much damage as a normal lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatXL Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Just the fact that you people have the skill and patience to make new lightsabers makes me envious. My Adult ADD seems to hinder me from such projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaliban Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Originally posted by TheGreatXL Just the fact that you people have the skill and patience to make new lightsabers makes me envious. My Adult ADD seems to hinder me from such projects. I have ADD, and I make sabers. I often drag things out so I'm reluctant to finish, but I push through it. It sometimes helps if you're working in furtherance of another goal. I'm making a lightsaber pack right now. I have a lot of them finished, but I keep adding to the total. Eventually, I'll get bored and release what I have. It also helps if you finish a really massive project, like a starship, then move to lightsabers. I can throw together a decent lightsaber in a couple of hours. And the obsessive attention to detail that accompanies ADD forces skill on you.

General Kenobi Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Originally posted by Curs0r It's illegal to port models? Hey man listen up I think I thought of a way around this for ya How about you use that custom modded hilts package "something 1.5" (can't remember the something part)??? It had/has like 15 or more KILLER models in it and those you could use cause they would be mods :D DM ooh and BTW if you need that mod PM me and I'll send it to you.

Curs0r Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Ok! After much digging I found the saber pack for Jedi Academy. It just so happens that there is an extremely nice version of Dooku's saber from attack of the clones in it. Hopefully the author will give me permission to port.

T7nowhere Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Now why would you want to go to all the trouble of porting JK sabers when our Very own Svösh has made his own and will be in USM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Kenobi Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 My favs in the pack are the Nemesis saber hilt and the Aalya Secura saber hilt. If half of those sabers in that pack came over to TSL it would be SWEET DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curs0r Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well T7's criticism aside, it seems at least 1 person wants this saber pack, and that's good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curs0r Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 As Melignous requested I've started on the Nemesis hilt first. you can take a look here: http://www30.websamba.com/Curs0r/Images/nemesis.jpg The texture needs major work and I've got to get the blade to actually sit on the hilt but I think it's going well.

Hmm, Criticism. I suppose I was beiNg critical, but its justified. Well in my mind atleast. But I suppose we all dO what we want to do, if were capable. Learning to port a model is much easyer than learning to build one and as long as the person porting the model gets the original authors permission tO port then its perfectly acceptaBle.

That's a Great idea, Curs0r. JKA has a very large collection of cool hilts, unlike Kotor where every jedi player gets the same stupid saber. Replacing those standard hilts would really be a change. ^^! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Kenobi Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The Nemesis saber looks really good man Can't wait to use it. I'd caution you on one thing though. Make sure to PM either T7 or ChAiNz and check to see what numbers are still free for use to be compatible with their Ultimate Saber Pack as I'm sure that suckers downloads will go through the roof DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Melignous The Nemesis saber looks really good man Can't wait to use it. I'd caution you on one thing though. Make sure to PM either T7 or ChAiNz and check to see what numbers are still free for use to be compatible with their Ultimate Saber Pack as I'm sure that suckers downloads will go through the roof As long as the number doesn't go over #99, users wil be able to edit their own .2da pretty easily. Just as a reminder, the .2da I built doesn't guarantee all the mods listed will work together, just that the .2da will be safe to overwrite if you happen to have some of those mods already installed. Overall compatibility would've required me to edit .uti's and include them in the mod (after permission)... which would've been way to much of an undertaking as well as built up file size uneccesarily. But as far as adding it to the USM's compatibility .2da ... the deadline's passed Aplogies for the semi-off topic "hijack"... saber looks great Curs0r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrub91 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 can someone convert the Bryar pistol from the DF mod for JKJA to Kotor 1??? http://darkforces.jediknight.net/ EDIT: and as for permission, they say as long as they get credit, they won't bitch.
