Actually, Its Varmints, I was browsing Holowan one day, when I found is Shola WIP thread. I go through it, and someone asks about the force power he had. I find his script that he used. It was great that it worked for both, but thats considering all the effects it used were in both games. I asked permission to use it with Mustafar, and he said yes.

[Istorian]

Great, then TG!!

Sorry for screwing you, pal!

[Revan_Pwn_Malak]

<_< Excuse that, I was amused.

 

Now what does this force power exactly do? Is it just a more powerful force lightening?

Its.. powerful. I'm gonna say that. Thats all I'm gonna say about it.

[Revan_Pwn_Malak]

Its.. powerful. I'm gonna say that. Thats all I'm gonna say about it.

 

Ooo... I'm curious now. I suppose we'll have to wait until the mod is released. Oh and I thought I'd let you know now that I've had a taste of my work load for college and it seems I'll be able to beta for you.

*is laughing while posting this thread**

*wipes tear from eye*

Anyways, I got to work on some of the skins for the Jedi inside the academy. I plan to have a new skin for one of the Jedi Knights placed randomly throughout the academy.

Its no where near finished, just wanted to give you all a heads up on what I'm doing. I'm also saying I'm very content with what I have so far. This skin will require an amount of modeling. This texture will be a full-faced texture, as I don't wanna make a new eye on an existing texture

Now, the real reason I wanted a full-faced texture:

Heterochromia.

"wat?"

Basically, its when someone has 2 differently colored eyes. I was debating on doing the original blue eyes with purple, but, while on the eye color wiki page, I found some eyes that I just have to have her wear! ^_^

[HdVaderII]

You mean something like Isard?

[TriggerGod]

You mean something like Isard?

 

...

Sure.

*currently trying to figure out HOW to give her a new colored eye. See UV Map thread I made*

Anyways, heres the story so far:

Nar Shaddaa (Dockhouse):

When you meet up with Zez-Kai-Ell on Nar Shaddaa, you have an option to ask him about where Master Kima is. If you have enough Awareness, an awareness option will appear. Otherwise, you can either muscle your answer out of him, or persuade him. Any of those ways will get you the same answer: A datapad. You look at the datapad, and it tells you where Kima is. Something similar to what happens with m4-78 (you take a datapad from the detention room, a script activates, letting you go to M4-78) happens.

 

Mustafar, Landing Module:

When you go to Mustafar (and, you HAVE to go to Mustafar, otherwise, the game will most likely crash at the Dantooine scene, if you take her there), you'll land, and be greeted by a passerby (which will be someone whom I haven't made yet), and tell you to go to the temple. Out here is the crossroads, where you can talk to a guide, who'll take you into one of the many caves (which will utilize both the Shyrak Caves and the Crystal Caves on Dantooine). In those caves, you can find many items, including the legendary Chu-Gon Dar cube. You can also find a group of Dark Jedi in one of the caves, hiding. You can kill them, or join them. If you join them, they'll tell you to gather as many people as possible, so that they can invade the academy, and get into the treasury, where you can get many more wonderful Jedi artifacts.

Mustafar, Entering the Jedi Academy

Go inside the temple, and you'll be greeted by the Guards there (if you decide not to answer his question, he, and everyone else in that module will turn hostile, meaning you should be pretty good with the Force and a Lightsaber). He'll tell you how to get to the room where Kima is. You can choose to go through either of the side modules, it doesn't matter.

Mustafar, Right Hallway

You'll get a chance to play some pazzak with a jedi at a table, save a jedi being seduced by a Sith Holocron (or, as a dark side alternative, you can take the holocron, and it'll teach you a dark side power, which has yet to be made.), and something else I have yet to think out.

 

Mustafar, Left Hallway

No idea, ATM.

 

Mustafar, Personal Guard's Room

Well, technically, its still part of the first Academy module. This area will use the room where Sion and you duke it out before going after Traya. Here, you will meet Katrina, Kima's Personal guard (who will also have her own personal appearance. Maybe I'll have her use the head I'm working on now). She won't let you through until you can prove yourself. I plan to base the prove yourself thing on what you do on Dxun. The current list:

1. Get the Chu-Gon Dar cube (Instant access)
   
2. Save the one falling to the darkside.
   

(list is to be expanded on later in development stages)

Once you get on Katrina's good side, she'll let you through, to see Master Kima.

 

Mustafar, Master Kima's Room(s)

Actually a nice sized area. In this room, you'll see Master Kima, other Masters she chose from her Academy, and padawans, training with each other. Kima's personal padawan, Dajo, will be with Kima in your meeting. In your meeting with Kima, you will learn one of 2 powers, depending on whether or not you decide to battle her. If you spare her, she'll teach you Force Stimulant, which will give you attribute and saving throw bonuses. If you fight her, you'll learn Drain Crush, which combines the Drain Life and Force Crush abilities. Once you get to a certain level (25) you can learn the next stage; Death Crush which is basically Death Field and Crush. (Istorian, don't forget your working on this Drain Crush series )

 

Mustafar, Chu-Gon Caves

These are the caves where you find the Chu-Gon Dar Cube (duh). But, there will be a challenge to get it. You gotta fight a vision of Revan and Malak, and some other random jedi, and, they will be kinda tough. Its a shorter, but tougher, version of the Shyrak caves sequence.

 

Mustafar, Unknown Caves

No one knows what these caves are for. As far as the Jedi know, these caves are empty, and there are no reasons to go in there. But, a group of Dark Jedi you will encounter, and they will pull a B4-D4 on you; They join your party, but, they leave after a certain objective is accomplished. There will be 3 Dark Jedi. They will either fight you if you are Light side, or, join you momentarily if dark. The objective if they join you: Get to Kima with force

Antares

This Dark Jedi is all about strength. Not that trained in the Force, but he does know some simple powers, like Shock. The catch; He doesn't last that long. He has a high defense, so, he won't be hit often, but, a few strong hits will knock him out. A Sith Marauder, so, he does have Fury. If you have him with you when you attack Kima, he will teach you Fury if you aren't a Marauder. If you are a Marauder, he won't teach you a thing.

 

Edea

A force user fanatic. Knows many powerful Force Powers, such as Storm, Drain Crush. She will teach you this if you have her with you when you fight Kima. She doesn't have much Strength, but, she has toughened her body up, so she can withstand more then Antares.

 

Seth

Seth is the balance, and, most undoubtedly, the best out of the 4. He strikes a balance between Strength and the Force, so, he is handy in combat, short range and long range. If you take him to kill Kima, he will teach you how to push many people at the same time (slightly better then Force Wave. Uses the Push animation, stuns if they fail a reflex save, and, will do 50+ damage. Some of you may know it better as Level 3 Force Push from JA/JO, but more powerful.)

 

Keida

The female Seth of the group. Only slightly weaker. She will teach you a Mass Force Crush ability (will be different from the existing Mass Crush)

 

When your all finished leading 2 of those 4, they will permanently leave your party, and, you can talk to them, asking them to teach you a new power. After they teach you a power, you have a choice to spare them, or to kill them. They will drop their own personal lightsaber (CUSTOM!) that have stats corresponding to their skills (Seth and Keida's would have a Strength and Wisdom bonus, Antares would get a big Strength Bonus, and Edea will have a big Wisdom Bonus.

 

Basically, in this mod, you'll get enough stuff to keep you happy for a while. 2+ custom sabers, skins, many new areas (I also plan to have an abandoned temple, which will be a reskin of the Dantooine Sub-Level. The difference? Every rock will be some shade of red. I just don't have anything in my mind to put in it.), and many new powers. Be Prepared.

 

EDIT: Excuse the long post >_>

[CaptainLivewire]

Very very very very good. But I wouldn't have named Seth Seth. It's seems to basic for star wars, but its you're mod so whatever.

[Istorian]

Alright, TG! I am close to finishing these powers and I have to find a way to make the one an upgrade of the other. You have my word, you'll get them soon!

 

Also, you've made a great story. I predict this mod will even surpass Coruscant!

[Thanatos9t]

I found some eyes that I just have to have her wear! ^_^

 

I actually have eyes similar in colour to those although mine are slightly more green.

 

Here is a random shot of them and me :

 

Anyways, back on topic the mod looks great so far, I see that you have put alot of thought into it keep up the good work.

All my names I use in this mod (except Kima and Katrina, those I made myself) I got from the Star Wars Name Generator.

Besides, there still might be some changes within the mod.

Alright, TG! I am close to finishing these powers and I have to find a way to make the one an upgrade of the other. You have my word, you'll get them soon!

Can't wait to test them (other then Drain and Death, thats all you'll be needed for. I can do the rest, hopefully) out. When you do finish them, I'll have screens of the abilities, so, keep an eye here.

 

Also, you've made a great story. I predict this mod will even surpass Coruscant!

Ya think?

I see. Well, right now, her eyes look purple, and the other looks like I Desaturated (made it gray, for those not-so image-editing savvy )

 

Anyways, back on topic the mod looks great so far, I see that you have put alot of thought into it keep up the good work.

Yes... I have...

The above post was the longest I've ever made. EVAR. Took me almost an hour >_<

 

EDIT: I need some people... I don't think I posted them already...

I need:

Area Modelers (For The landing pad, which includes cross-roads. I might need one for Kima's room, but, I may try and model it myself )

New Skyboxes (I need, basically, a lush, green world.)

[TriggerGod]

PROGRESS REPORT

 

I've tried modeling. A bit easier then I first anticipated...

I used Virtue's tut for JK3 to model the saber (I was a lazy bum, and used his concept ), and, Varmint made a tut for UV Mapping. Its made for multiple parts, but, works just fine for one part. (Will be posting tut later)

Anyways, for my second test, I used Virtue's tut, made an outline of the Reborn Saber from Jedi Knight series, and, while working, I decided to make some changes. I added a shroud, and changed a part. I have yet to UV Map.

Please note that this is my first real shot at modeling, and, won't be really good.
