RC-1162 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 ^^ you can still make in-game-unmakable sabers @Prime and D333: well, i asked this question assuming that the devs had made the game 100% and still had a little time and money left. so, under this assupmtion i asked whether they should use it to add customisation of lightsabers.

The_Catto Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 yeah, definitly should be something more in-depth involving Lightsaber design. That would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackel Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If the game had half a dozen different styles of saber * *Short handled single saber *Long handled single saber *Extra Long single handled saber *Curved single handled saber etc etc And the differences were cosmetic (different skins depending on the saber crystal etc) then sure fine. But making more then that? Nah I'd rather have more stuff like D3 said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldflash Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I like to see one unique hilt for each type of blade. That's enought for me. I was a little dissapointed to see only 3 hilt models for 28 lightsabers. And all 3 models with uvw map mess-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I have one thing to say. That's what mods are for. Not if you're playing X-Box. I'd like to design my own. Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm with those who have stated they would like some more lightsaber hilt variety but consider this a nice-to-have instead of something that the designers should focus on. I'd like to see two or three designs each for short saber, lightsaber, and double-bladed lightsabers. But as long as the next KotOR allows mods and we have our uber-riffic modders around then I feel confident we won't have any shortage of lightsaber hilt designs, even if the game does.

Terran I Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I would like to make custom lightsabers, the way you build custom ships in GalCiv 2: Dread lords, you get different parts and you have places on the hilt where you can put them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksylver Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Making ur own lightsabers would be awesome, i also think u should be able to mix 2 or more crystals together to make different colored blades like a different style blue or red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woogiee Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I didnt vote because its not really a big concern of mine. I'd like to be able to customize my own Lightsaber in KOTOR III I'd rather they focus on gameplay and story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well, lots of people have pondered the possibility of customizable lightsaber hilts for hooded jedi robes for KotOR3. My own position has not changed. While these sound like nice extras, they are still very low priority to me, and given the sad and unfinished state of KotOR2, a completed story with fully developed characterization of the protagonists has far greater priority. Sorry, but KotOR2 being unfinished has taught me to prioritize what's important over what is just a nice extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Joker Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Is there a "who cares" option? I played JA, and the "pick your own hilt" feature was amusing for all of, oh, ten seconds. Had no bearing on the game. If they put it in, great. If not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick5770 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 It would be kind of cool,mainly size and shape customizations, but let's be realistic for a moment. If you had the ability to make all the special little designs on your saber, you would need a 512 mb graphics card to see it, remember JK, you can hardly tell one design from the other. There's a lot of us that still have 32 and 64 mb graphics cards, this would suck for us. I voted yes because I liked the option in JK, but it will suck up system resources like a 1979 Ford F150 guzzles gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'd like to design my own. Why not?IMO because you basically spend way to much time customizing and constructing things as it is. Just give me the damn item! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 ^^^ "Give me the damn super stylished uber-item" would be my cup of tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 IMO because you basically spend way to much time customizing and constructing things as it is. Just give me the damn item! Then perhaps a random pick button for you so you can get right to it then. To me, that's part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperSkeele Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I would like to customise hilts length, size, shape, color, blades thickness and length! Those that have seen the Cheesey Starship Creator know it was a good idea that went horribly unfulfilled, but how about STAR WARS: The Strength of the Saber, a software package dealing solely with the unlimitted customization of the light saber with the full color pallette of WinXP available for core, near blade, and far blade (a fade from one color to another along the length of the blade), some type of blade texture choices; a severely volatile blade might have an energy spewing jaggedness while a highly trained and disciplined jedi Master's blade might be smooth as silk. All these choices could be linked to blade properties and tendancies in combat against various like and unlike weapons, affects against force feilds etc. Now the hilts could be generated from a selection of skeletal shapes overlaid with the owners choice of premade skins, or have the ability to import a skin of your own in various formats for the hilt (I'm not technically inclined, I'd just whip up a premade combo) THEN Once that was completed, you could use your one of a kind saber in any of the Star Wars games that were made to accept the customized saber. I think that would really be a cool selling feature both for the Saber Creator and the games made to use the custom saber......Idunno.........you tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woogiee Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 While that would be interesting they would probably sell for an arm and a leg, and most people wouldnt be able to affor it or wouldnt be willing to spend them money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I would like to build my own Lightsaber Hilt, but it should be simple like in Jedi Academy. Also I think bosses should have their own unique Lightsaber, which you can pick up off their remains afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 yeah, actually, the gamer wont be able to cusomise it fully, as in modelling, but just choose between several sections of the hilt, ie: the bottom part, the main body, the ignition switch and the emmiter nozzle. there should be a couple of pre-programmed sections and that way you can customise.

Darth Forn Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think there would be more options for this question: 1. Player could choose between saber hilts like in JK2 (Sentinel, Destroyer, Champion, Guardian etc.) 2. There would be different hilts for the different classes. The Jedi Guardian would have a different hilt than the Jedi Sentinel and so on... They would be all unique, i think. 3. Player can make his/her own hilt, because as the Jedi says: "The hilt of the saber represents its creator..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 but how about STAR WARS: The Strength of the Saber, a software package dealing solely with the unlimitted customization of the light saber with the full color pallette of WinXP available for core, near blade, and far blade... I already have a program like that, it's just more commonly refered to as gmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperSkeele Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I already have a program like that, it's just more commonly refered to as gmax Uh, Gmax huh, hmm, is it easy for the unsavvy? How difficult is it to put new hilts and blades into the game? Am I going to have to have an engineering degree to figure out how to use it? How much does it cost? Where can I get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 ^^^^ 1. easy?, no 2. IMO it's not easy, it just takes practice and patience and an understanding of the program's basics. It's not as easy as, make cylinder, make switch, color, and poof it's done. 3. No, I don't have an engineering degree, though I was in the top 10% of my highschool class, then again my highschool class was 80 people. It jsut take practice with tutorials and such. 4. Free. 5. Here Just take note, you'll need other programs to get any saber you model into KotOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Urza Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 No, never, it is a terrible idea, how dare you ever believe that anyone could possibly change the hilt of their light-saber. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU, BAD, BAD MAN. ...........jk............. Lmao. Yes, of course we should get some variety on out hilt in KOTOR 3. I think its a good idea, good post man.

Vaelastraz Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yes I want to choose hilts like in Jedi Academy. But I don't want the actual balde to be customizeable. Longer, thicker, shorter? No. The blade has to stay the same. Btw.. Anyone with 3d studio max or Maya can do a decent hilt. Thing is, the hilt should have as less polygons as possible and still look nice. A 10.000 Polygon hilt won't make it into the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
