how do you make model packs?

[azimnj]

how do you make model packs because im going to make one and ofcourse ask the authors of the models permission but how do you make a model pack?

[Sith Dagger]

What do you mean exactly? a model pack as in models slapped in one pk3? or a model pack as in a new model list thing on the species menu?

1st one: simply slap all the models in the same pk3

2nd one: http://forums.filefront.com/sw-jk-problems-errors-help/192606-skins-single-player.html

[azimnj]

yeah i meant the first one and thanks for the short tutorial

but how do you make pk3s?

[Sith Dagger]

You use either PakScape, PakRat, Winrar, or Winzip.

With Winrar/Zip you creat a .zip file, and change the extension from ".zip" to ".pk3"

Dunno how to work PakScape/Rat though.

pity because i have pakscape

[azimnj]

and is that exactly how you make npc packs as well because i would like to put models that dont have npc support and make them npcs in the pack.can you put models and skins from JO to your JA model pack or JA skins?

[LightNinja]

pity because i have pakscape

man winzip is free, go and download it

[azimnj]

so to slap all the models in a pk3,your saying to put the models pk3s in the pk3.right?

[Psyk0Sith]

You should extract them into a base\ folder (retaining the folder structure) and pack them up into one big zip then rename to pk3.

ok but what if i want like to include a model.suppose that model is agen kolar(there is no agen kolar model).what if i want the spawn name to be agen or kolar.how do i do that?

or can i include skins?

[Psyk0Sith]

Each character has its own folder, and that is how the game identifies the character, so you would name the folder "agen_kolar" for example (spaces are not allowed).

[azimnj]

what if i want agen_kolar_enemy which will attack you.how do i do that?

[Inyri]

That is done in NPC files. The playerTeam should be set to TEAM_ENEMY and the enemyTeam should be set to TEAM_PLAYER. Alternatively, bots tend to attack you as well.

[azimnj]

where are the npc files?

[azimnj]

and what if i want the same npc but different saber color,how do i do that?

[Inyri]

Try looking at some of the .NPC files in the base assets. I'm 90% sure that if you looked at them, you'd see how they were set up and be able to answer the bulk of your questions for yourself.

[azimnj]

i meant models that people made.not the jka models.

[Inyri]

Try re-reading what I said. If you look at the .NPC files in the assets you'll be able to figure out how they're made so you can make your own.

[azimnj]

oh sorry

[azimnj]

how do you make a character small in npc files?
