The_Dark_Jedi_Malaka Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm certain the font color in "option two" is simply the original font. I seriously doubt Drewton would use that font in the actual mod. I'd vote for the first, though. Good point. ^^' I didn't think of that.... ...waugh!!! I can't wait!!

HdVaderII Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The blue lightning is much better than the effect that is in the normal game, and the menus both look fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Suron Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ok Drewton, I got permission from Malxados to give you his form teacher mod to you. Just PM me your Email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malxados Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would like to note that, if you wanted to use it for some reason, a V2 is available at filefront which fixes a big-ish problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Suron Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That was the version I was going to send him, v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewton Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Since the more common opinion is Option 2 I'll keep that as default, but still keep Option 1 as optional as zbyl2 suggested. Ghost Down, that's an excellent idea...but the problem with that is that it would appear for Traya and Sion as well. Except if I edited the model files, so I could have different backgrounds for each character. Darth Scorpius, I'll definitely add more hitpoints to Nihilus, but I'm not sure about changing the classes (not that I disagree with the ideas, just that this is more of a visual mod), and Visas is the only one who's actually an apprentice of Nihilus so I think her current costume fits her better. Also could have come from her homeworld. I'm not sure if changing the costume is even possible without modelling. For the form teacher mod, thanks a lot, but I'm not really going to have changes like that in this mod. It won't give any powers/abilities at any different time. It focuses on improving the overall quality and not adding anything extra (including content restoration). Thanks again though. And yeah, that font on the menu definitely isn't final. I've done a lot more on this, but I think I'm going to wait to show most of my progress until a trailer for this. However, he's a Sith Trooper reskin I did today... Compared to: The original was way too shiny. This has less shine, is more white, and has some weathering and scratches (unfortunately you can't see it as much in this screenshot).

Except if I edited the model files, so I could have different backgrounds for each character. You may find model files for each menu (mainmenu00*.mdl if I recall correctly) and then hex edit it to get different texture in background. It would be really nice to see more differences on menu when Sith Lord changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malxados Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Didn't think so. Anywhos, I like the trooper reskin. Before, t was almost as if they were saying "Hey! Guys! Look Over Here! I'm gonna try to kill you now! You better kill me first!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dholm Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice skin. I definitely agree that the original is too shiny... but your 'wear and tear' version has a few problems as well. Any material that I am aware of which would be see-through enough that they can use it for the faceplate would be 'shiny', so you might want to bring that back. Also, due to the way the skin is mapped to the model, all the scratches are mirrored -- once you notice that, it jars. (There's also the problem that all troopers would have the exact same scratches, though that's less important.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Having played with the Sith Trooper texture myself, I can agree that it looks much better without it being all shiny. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSion399 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Isn't Option two for the main menu exactly the same as the main menu from TFU, except for the stormtroopers and blue explosion in the background, and a different title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There's also the problem that all troopers would have the exact same scratches, though that's less important.) Well, I haven't seen any problems with the first, but maybe I should check again. Good point about the mirrored scratches, that usually bugs me to, but it's really not extremely noticeable with this one in-game. I could also change the UV map so there would be different scratches on both sides... Isn't Option two for the main menu exactly the same as the main menu from TFU, except for the stormtroopers and blue explosion in the background, and a different title. Yup, indeed. I'm doing some planning for the HUD...I haven't entirely figured out how to edit it correctly yet, but I think I've found the right GUI file. Everything definitely looks editable. I'm not 100% sure whether I'll be able to do this exactly yet, but what do y'all think of this design? The biggest pain with the HUD will be changing the layout for the different screen sizes. If I can edit it at all, I'll certainly be able to do that, but it won't be fun doing it that many times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriggerGod Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) I saw this. And then I Jizzed in my Pants Seriously Drewton, that is quite possibly an awesome achievement you have accomplished, and you aren't even done yet. You will most definitely go down in KOTOR/TSL modding history. As for your screen problem, unless you found some files that would contradict my statement, it should work the same for all the screen sizes.

Emperor Devon Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 what do y'all think of this design? Like the rest of the mod it looks very good so far, but I'd change a couple of things. I'd add a border around the portraits. Since there are fairly large ones on everything else, it makes them look inconsistent with the rest of the GUI. The combat and action menus (the two on the bottom left) also feel like they should be merged, since their UI is identical. The current gap between them looks awkward and makes the GUI seem cluttered. I'd also add a border to the mini-map and move it to the top right of the screen. Keeping the GUI as far as possible from the center of the screen helps make the game look more cinematic (though this is moot for me as I keep the mini-map turned off ). Apart from that, looks good! Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That's a really nice design there, Drewton, but like Dev said, keeping things as far from the centre of the screen as possible would definitely be an improvement. Looking forward to any future updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
