Change Ebon Hawk K1

[Azzameen]

I don't really like the form of the Ebon Hawk. It's just stupid that high, rectangular, front and the asymmetric design. I always wondered if it is possible to change the Ebon Hawk into another ship. Perhaps one of those Sith-Transporters (that yellow striped ones).

Or a Bird of Prey

[Mindtwistah]

You just got to change the Ebon Hawk into a republic cruiser. You can take Endar Spire and put characters in it. That would be great, with a lots of sidequests and all.

[Azzameen]

Uh, I meant the outside form, not inside.

But landing on Korriban with a Republic cruiser with all the soldiers in it would help alot.

[Kaall]

I dont think a hammerhead cruiser would fit on the landing pad....

[Mindtwistah]

On the landing pad you can make a transport shuttle or something, that takes you to the republic cruiser.

[Master Zionosis]

yes you could do that, but... you can't change the Ebon Hawk on the landing pad, it's part of the area model, the only way i thought of getting around it would be to create a custom placeable of a new ship and place it over the Ebon Hawk, though the Ebon Hawk may still be visible if the ship that will be over it is to small, and if you go to big, it will look weird.

[Azzameen]

Blast, knew it would be something like that. But would it be able to change the Hawks colour to a shade of black, so that the name fits. I mean, "Ebon" Hawk coloured grey and red? And in the same shades as the hammerheads?

[Mindtwistah]

But what if you can use the ebon hawk as the transport shuttle. Just change the name of the "Ebon Hawk" to "Transport shuttle"

[Master Zionosis]

That would work, except the Ebon Hawk doesn't have a name tag in game, it's part of the area, you could edit it's texture for each of the planets and make like a neon sign that says transport shuttle or something, and then change the scripts that go to the Ebon Hawk to warp to the custom made new ship, but it would be a big job, you would have to re script everything that happens on the Hawk to fit in with the new location, and scripting is a big job, especially if you don't know much about them, and i doubt anyone who has good enough scripting skill would want to try to pull this off.

[Mindtwistah]

I've got an idea! When you finish your training at Dantooine master Vandar will tell you that the republic ship "Nighteye" will follow the Ebon Hawk. So the Ebon Hawk will still be there, but on the galaxy map you can go to the "Nighteye". The "Nighteye" will be filled with republic troopers, jedis and sidequests. And if possible you can tell any trooper or jedi to come with you. They will be your "puppet". If they die, they won't respawn.

[Master Zionosis]

I do like that idea, sounds very cool, it could be done though I'm not sure on the puppet situation, I've never made one before, so i don't know how it would work, but everything else sounds pretty cool, and doable, i would like to give this a go, but I'm very busy with work, college and other projects, i may be able to do this at a later date if it's still up for the taking.

[Jasher]

I'm personally looking to finish my Juhani makeover. How do I switch her portrait in the party selection & status screen?

[Darth InSidious]

Puppets cannot be made for K1. It was an innovation in scripting for K2.

[Quanon]

What if you made a new texture for the Ebon Hawk that is 100% transparent and then place a new place-able model on top of it ?

[Darth InSidious]

^That could work.

 

As I recall, the Ebon Hawk is a separate room model in the Tatooine Landing Pad...

[Quanon]

So what would be the name of the shader to use on the Ebon hawks texture ?

 

I know you have a shader to make metal parts shiny and give it that "bling-bling" look . But no clue to what I could use for this transparant-look .
