Lord of Hunger Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 [OVERLY ELOQUENT POST]Hello again. Another idea for a KOTOR mod. KOTOR hosts a nice variety of weapons: short swords, long swords, double-bladed swords, blaster pistols, blaster rifles, lightsabers, shotos, double-bladed lightsabers, etc.. However, one problem is that a lot of these weapons have boring generic appearances. Numerous mods have been released to reskin the weapons, the most famous of these being WOTOR and USM. WOTOR definitely improved the quality of my KOTOR experience by giving each party member aside from T3-M4 a unique weapon. However, while this is surely a major improvement, there is more that can potentially be done. I feel that the area that needs the most improvement right now is blasters. Right now we have a lot of generic (and in my view ugly) blaster pistols and rifles, and some other weapons that share the same appearance but not the traits. I'd like to release a mod that improves the following items: 1) Detailed versions of the blaster pistols and rifles. 2) New unique icons, models, and skins for Mandalorian pistols and rifles. 3) New unique icon, model, and skin for Sith Sniper Rifle. Since I have no experience or skill in modding, I put this idea forth to you, the modding community. If you are interested, please post away.[/OVERLY ELOQUENT POST] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Actually, that mod is already in the process of being made. They've got gizka guns, lightning guns, gas guns and everything... Just look around in the holowan laboratories. It's called the Ultimate Ranged Mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithspecter Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, that mod has been put on indefinte hold until certain other mods are finished. But if you want to look at the pics in the thread, click the URM link in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Hunger Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I am aware of URM, and I am impressed with your work Sithspecter. However, the purpose of the mod I am proposing is to improve the appearances of the weapons already in existence rather than better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you want to do that you'll probably need soemone who is good with modeling programs and a person who is good at reskins. As for reskining, you could enlarge the skin of the item in question, and then add further detail. Quite tedious, but it's doable. Most of these high-res reskins are only done for modules though.

Lord of Hunger Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Indeed, and this is why I am posting this thread: in order to recruit. I may attempt to learn modelling, but I'll still need reskinners in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Payne Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 You know, i've actually thought of making a request like this. It never really made sense to me that there where so few model for the various blasters, or melee weapons for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Hunger Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well if this is successful, I might try a Swords of the Old Republic mod to add more blade models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzameen Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I could do the modeling, but bringing it to the game... I don't know Jack. But still, just give me a good description or a scetch, and wait a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
