[K1] Sleheyron Restoration

[Sithspecter]

You're just going to have to dig out that old K1 disk now, don't you?

[Beefyh]

I actually play both of them a lot. I just like k2 better because it has better gameplay and more weapons. storywise though, I'd pick k1 anyday.

Awesome work sithspecter and everyone, that arena fits perfectly with what David told us about the plans for the story line for the planet...with the Hutt overlords and the arena contests, this is very exciting to see happening and I am so glad you found some of the original models still in the game files, David did not know there were any still there. Great Great work i will update the master llist of restoration work asap, sorry to have been away, a major project that i was beta testing for and a lead on in some ways, has suspended for a while and I have had to mod some support for it. Just wanted to say wonderful work!!!

[Serpentine Cougar]

Looks great; it's always amazing what modders can come out with. There's just one thing that bugs me about the screenshots, however. The ground textures seem pretty repetitive - the little squares almost make it look like a grid. It kind of brings attention to itself. Would it be possible to take them out or somehow make it less repetitive? Maybe it's just me, though.

 

This mod looks very promising all the same.

[Sithspecter]

About the ground textures, I might change them up a bit, and add blaster marks and such, but the screenshots from the devs show mostly the same grid texture.

[Sithspecter]

Here's a new render for all you guys. It's a new section of the street. I've got it in KotOR, but I'm having lighting issues, so no in-game renders just yet. I've also got a bit of interior cooked up, but nothing big on that yet...

 

[JCarter426]

Very pretty.

[Robespierre]

The skybox looks a little...stretched.

 

But otherwise its awesome.

[Sithspecter]

I found the original skybox from KotOR, so that's what I'm using.

[Papership]

Spectacular SS! The model and sky look amazingly well matched.

[Sithspecter]

Thanks very much! I'm going to continue workng on this with my best quality work, and take my time on it.

Just do what Obsidian and Bioware did, they placed these planes just slightly above the normal floor and textured those with the "Blast" and cracked look.

 

Take a peek on piece of the Sith Academy of TSL, you'll see dozens of these planes floating like a "Nano"meter above the regular floor.

 

@Topic: Looking ACE SS ! Seems likes you're getting the touch on how to do this stuff

That's what I'm starting to do. I've added one in the current render, its on the right, and you can see a bit of white and a blaster mark over there.

Thanks so much! Now that I look back on my first attempts, I can laugh a bit. But, I'm getting more in the hang of it now, and it can only improve, right?

[TheProphet]

Wow! This is really coming together SS, well done! The quality of those buildings is superb.

 

I agree with Quanon, though pretty much everyone does this (even crysis ((to an extent)) ) using decal textures, I have yet to try thouse out in my modules however :/. There is a first time for everything though.

 

Keep up the good work and keep those screenshots coming!

[ForeverNight]

Wow... that looks pretty good! Yeah, the skybox looks a little stretched... maybe touch it up a tad or so.

 

@Doc Valentine: Currently reading the book, or what?

[Sithspecter]

Thanks! The skybox IS stretched. That's the way the devs made it. It looks very... akward any other way.

[correllian_thug]

glad to see this is coming along nicely look like its gonna be huge

[Sithspecter]

It's coming along nicely all except for lighting, which is pretty hard to do, but I have a few ideas. I've only got 1 week left of school, so production should begin to increase exponentially.

[Sithspecter]

Guys, you should all really sit down before reading this. I've got some awful news. This isn't some sick joke. I wish it was, but it's not. Well, I'll just get straight to the point. My computer crashed yesterday, and I lost everything. All the Sleheyron models, the Ultimate Ranged Mod weps, the Indiana Jones hat, the TSL new mask, everything. I'm going to need a few weeks to get everything back together. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry for you, I know it's hard

I hope you're gonna be able to get everything back

[Seamhainn]

Backups are for cowards!

Not happening. The whole hard drives been reset.

 

@Seamhainn: well, I wish I was a coward.

 

This doesn't canel any of the projects I've started. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right? I'm going to start over from ground zero and make the best that I can of it. Since it's going to be summer, I'll be able to get on the ball pretty quickly. Don't worry, I'm not out of it yet.

[Exile007]

Ouch...

 

Deeply sorry SS.

 

Best regards, and I wish you good luck on getting Sleheyron back together.
