90SK Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks for the feedback! I like that helmet, but unfortunately I can't model. I just can't. I've tried learning... it's a gruesome story. But the armor is done, so if you want me to release it, I can do that. Actually, I'd like to release mine and Princess Artemis's in a pack, if that's ok with you PA. Our armors are very different style-wise and I think the contrast would be neat to have in one pack, but it's up to you!
Princess Artemis Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Actually, I'd like to release mine and Princess Artemis's in a pack, if that's ok with you PA. Our armors are very different style-wise and I think the contrast would be neat to have in one pack, but it's up to you! That would be fine with me, 90SK. I haven't finished reskinning the armor yet (I'm quite new to it, so it's slow going--there's not a whole lot I have left to do with it though), but that would certainly be fine by me. We should coordinate on how to do the .2da editing and the .utis in that case so they can both be available but not confuse. If it's too much of a hold-up, don't worry about it, but I like the idea of making a pack--it simplifies installation, at least!
90SK Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 If you'd like, once you finish setting yours up, you can send it to me and I'll fuse the two. I'd love to make an icon for your armor, if you haven't already. Icon making is my thing.
Princess Artemis Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Heee, sure, be my guest for the icons--I'm not that hot with them. That would probably be easiest anyway, so the texture variations don't collide. I'm working on them right now (and grumbling that the female version of the texture didn't seem to want to get the same nice gold color that the male version did...) so I should have them ready today, depending on how nice the alpha channel decides to be to me.
Quanon Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I could have a try at the helmet model thing If I make the UVW-map/ bare skin. SK and Princess could fill it in to match their skins. Though is it to be a real DarkAge helmet or does it need an SW twist to it ?
SpartanPride Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Well, when I suggested the helmet, all I said was that it would be nice for it to be based off the Templar Helm, so... a Star Wars twist would be cool. Really, it's up to Master_Crush
Master_Crush Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Honostly I don't mind what you do about the helm. I just wanna see the Armour done. But if you want to do it, then thats fine. And you can make it into a pack if you want 90 and PA.
Princess Artemis Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 I'm close to done, but it doesn't look like I'll quite make it for today. I'm also making the matching vibrosword, not sure I'm happy about it yet, I'll have to see it in-game. Anyhow, tomorrow I'll tackle the alphas and see how it goes.
SpartanPride Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Quanon... so are you making the helm? I'm not exactly sure of what's going on... whether you are making it or not. Reason why I asked is because I would love to see a Templar helm in KOTOR.
Master_Crush Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 If any of you wish to do a helm, then you can do so. But I just wanna see my Armour and Sword. So hows it going now?
Princess Artemis Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I'm not too sure I'm happy with the alpha right now, probably need to do something with the cloth, but here is the armor, which compared to 90SK's is kinda plain (I keep forgetting to say how much I like yours!): Annnnnnd as usual, I forgot how to force a vibrosword to accept a new texture, so I'm working on that... But if ye likes, this is about done.
Princess Artemis Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks SpartanPride Finally sorted out the problem with the vibrosword, so here are a couple pics of it (alas, there's nothing I can do about those stupid bright orange spots on it without completely redoing the UV map on the sword, which is something I'm learning how to do but haven't exactly managed yet): Anyhow, I'm also grouchy about how the game is displaying the stats on the sword and the armor, but, well, such is life I guess. I'll pass them on to 90SK so they can be all put together as a single mod.
DarthRevan243 Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Nice! I'd say that 90SK has done the a armour so good that I'm going to wet myself and Princess Artemis has done the coolest sword ever! Good Lick! I mean Luck!
Master_Crush Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Very well done PA! My congrats to both you and 90SK! You've both done a great job. We hope to see this out very soon. Thanks for all the hard work you did for me. Congrats again.
Quanon Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Ah, sorry people kind lost my eye on this thread... On the helmet, I tried to do a more classic Crusader helmet, but so far it looked like a bucket with peeping hole's in it. Anyway, I'm now a bit looking at the HellGate London armours, to get some inspiration on how might turn this helmet more to sci-fi. Just a little more patience, though the skins look fantastic. I'll have another spin on the helmet thing.
90SK Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Ok. The mod is pretty much done now: do you want us to wait while you get the helmet sorted out, or should we release them separately? Actually, I think we're going to release the mod on PA's site. If you still want to include the helmet, we can wait to release it on KotOR files until you're done, ok?
Quanon Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Actually, I think we're going to release the mod on PA's site. If you still want to include the helmet, we can wait to release it on KotOR files until you're done, ok? Allright, if the requestor of this little idea can wait a bit longer. So when I got the model finished I'll do an example textures and send the files to you (90SK) and Princes Artemis, so you can do a matching texture ?
memarik Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 this is totally sweet ! ! il DL strait away when it is done (i mean the whole pack thing)
Princess Artemis Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Allright, if the requestor of this little idea can wait a bit longer. So when I got the model finished I'll do an example textures and send the files to you (90SK) and Princes Artemis, so you can do a matching texture ? I'm willing to give it a try. It would be something entirely new to me, so I can't guarantee the results. I think it would be pretty sweet to have a whole Paladin getup though! In any case, 90SK and I have put the two armors together for a pack--they have the same stats; the icons and skins obviously are different, and you can follow the instructions after installing to get the items into the game. The armor requires the heavy armor feat and Jedi defense, so it's not much use to non-Jedi characters. (Though if you're using KSE to put the armor in the game, well...) Anyhow, here's the page for the download: Paladin Gear (you'll need 7-zip to get it, it's a free program that'll unarchive dang near ANYTHING) and here's a screenshot that 90SK made of both together along with the vibrosword: Screenshot The page isn't linked up to Telosian Archives just yet--I plan to get a few screenshots of 90SK's armor on a lady to see how it looks, I just haven't done it yet. I personally have no objection to waiting to release it for KotorFiles or to make it more widely available until there's a helmet with it, that would be pretty cool. Anyhow, there it is
Master_Crush Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Well as I am the requested of this mod, I can wait for the helmet to be done and we should release this all together. But seen as you made the mod, its really up to you.
Princess Artemis Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 In that case, I'm willing to give a go on the helmet. Then we can perhaps release more publicly a more complete mod, and leave the armors and sword available as they are for now. Though I hope the stats and such are to your satisfaction--if they aren't, let me know and I can adjust them (both armors use the same stats). What sort of stats would you want the helmet to have? Check the armor and sword, see what you think is missing for a complete paladin set up. Or perhaps some of the armor stats could be given to the helm, or something?
Master_Crush Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Well I'll have a look in the morning. I'm on my iPod right now so I can't download it. I'll tell you if there's anything missing, but I can give stats and things myself, but maybe not others.
SpartanPride Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I have to say, I am quite excited about the release of this mod. I was looking at more Crusader helmets and some of the Teutonic Orders helms look pretty awesome, but I guess you're almost done the one you're working on.
Quanon Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I was looking at more Crusader helmets and some of the Teutonic Orders helms look pretty awesome, but I guess you're almost done the one you're working on. I stepted of that idea... I always end up with that "bucket" feeling... On the other side some quicky WIP renders of the thing. I'll now go on to UVW-Map this helmet and get a basic skin. Pictures: Expect some newer shots soon
