[wip] Ӄhrizby's Mod Projects Thread

[Quanon]

Nice update, good to hear you're making good progress on this whole, switch skeletons business. Though I won't volunteer, got enough to do modding wise, I'm sure you know why

 

Anyway, be prepared, your PM box might get swamped, putting out such a request.

[Ӄhrizby]

Yeah, I understand.

 

Normally I probably wouldn't make a request like this, but with the unique circumstances this testing requires, that the usual people can't meet right now, I figured somebody out there ought to be able to do it.

 

Alright I figured since I was finishing up the Nihilus' mod I'd feature another mod I'm working on. Alright, actually I'm working on a lot, many of which I've started and will probably not finish. But anyway, this is the one I chose, it's a model rather than the animation ones I've been doing lately;

Alright, you'll probably recognize the Bryar pistol from the Jedi Knight games. And yes, I know that Inyri Forge made a model here. That's the original look and was used in the cinematics, and I suppose the "official" version, and it's a good mod by Inyri, but personally the one that always stuck in my mind is the Jedi Outcast version for some reason. The one on top is my model, the one on bottom is the original I'm aiming for. As you can see, it's still under construction (most notably on the front half) and untextured . . . Just thought I'd share, get some feedback

 

PS I still do need testers for the Nihilus mod, see a couple posts down

[Marius Fett]

Nice job on that gun model. I personally like the Bryar pistol a lot.

Alright' date=' some of you may have seen this thread, which is about fixing Nihilus' animations. I know that's a while ago, and the mod's finished but as of yet unreleased. Unfortunately, I don't know if it works the way it should because I don't have a suitable saved game, and it doesn't work right when I use cheats because of the way my party is. So what I need is a person willing to test this mod with the following saved game:

 

Before you kill Nihilus', on Ravager.

Include Visas in your party (this is where I had trouble with cheats/KSE).

 

I have the model working, I just need to figure out some of the other stuff.

If you're interested, contact me and I'll fill you in on exactly what you need to do.

 

Thanks!

Khrizby

Many thanks jonathan7, that's exactly what I needed!

 

No need for the testers now.

[Ӄhrizby]

Okay, update, now the Bryar is starting to look closer.

I think the model's pretty much done, I'll redo the textures though, I just put those ones on to see how it'd look textured.

[Sith Holocron]

The original seems have some reflections as part of the model's skin. Will a - forgive if I'm getting this wrong - a baremetal shader be added to your model?

[Trench]

Nice work Ӄhrizby. Glad to hear you've finished up the Nihilus mod. And nice work on that Bryar Pistol ner'vod. I have to agree with Sith Holocron on adding the baremetal shader to the blaster.

[Ӄhrizby]

Alright, sorry it's taking so long to respond, I haven't been able to work on anything lately because I'm moving everything to a new laptop

 

I hadn't thought about the shader, but that is an excellent idea, I'll definitely do that. Thanks guys, I'm still new at this, so suggestions are great!

[Ghost]

wow, nice Bryar model. Keep up the good work Khrizby

[Sith Holocron]

Hey Ӄhrizby, congrats on having your Darth Nihilus Animation Fix being posted up on FileFront!

Any chance of posting a movie of this in action over at YouTube?

[Ӄhrizby]

Thank you Sith Holocron, I just found out myself

 

And I'll see what I can do about the video too

[Quanon]

Congrats on a mod well done

I really hope to see more of this awesome modding!

 

I wonder what you have in store, besides that good looking gun.

Really luuve these kind of threads, you just know you're in for something fantastic.

[Ӄhrizby]

Thanks a lot Quanon, that means a lot coming from a veteran such as yourself

 

Hmm as to what's in store . . . modding's kind of slowed down right now, but come summer I'm looking forward to getting started again. I've got a pretty huge list of just ideas I've thought up, at least 70 written out so who knows?

[Ӄhrizby]

Hey peoples! Okay, I just found a solution to a problem I had, I don't know if this is already out there, but just thought I'd post it in case anybody else has this problem too...

 

I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 (no more Vista ), and put on the works for modding. To my dismay, when I tried to import any models, I got the following message:

CoCreateInstance() failed 
Please check your registry entries 
CLSID {F088EA74-2E87-11D3-B1F3-00C0F03C37D3} 

This kind of put a stop to a lot of things. I couldn't find anything relating to this for a while, but I remembered vaguely reading something somewhere . . . I finally figured out that I need to run 'nwmax' as an administrator, not just run it. Problem fixed. Yay! I'm back in business.

 

Edit: hmm, then it wouldn't let me export, till I restarted nwmax without the administrator stuff... it's picky, isn't it

[Ӄhrizby]

Alright, a bit ago I fixed a droid model for Sith Holocron and DarthStoney, and the youtube video they requested is now up publicly

.

 

Also, recently I've been working on helping ZimmMaster complete Avol's Darth Vader mod . . . I'd like to announce that it's pretty much done and fully animated! I'll try to post screenies soon...

[Quanon]

Amazing stuff, wow, nice job! ^_^

[Ӄhrizby]

Thank you

 

Now, on working on the Vader mod I discovered a way to fix the cardboard/clipping cape issue! Without all the new animating! This means that not only will Vader have a fixed cape, now I can get an update to the Nihilus mod going.

 

Also, I was gonna keep this a surprise, but I'm kind of excited about it; I'm making a quick mod in celebration of Easter coming up . I can't keep a secret

[Ghost]

Yay! It's good to see new projects coming out so quickly! Good Luck Khrizby!

[Sith Holocron]

This means that not only will Vader have a fixed cape' date=' now I can get an update to the Nihilus mod going.[/quote']

 

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing both of these fixes in a video.

[Ӄhrizby]

Alright, hey everyone, I know it's been awhile, here's some updating..

 

First off, thanks Sith Holocron, and yes I have a video for the Vader mod:

Lately what I've been working on is animating the drexl model, in this thread.

 

If I had a project I was working on for anyone that hasn't heard from me in awhile, PM me, my computers been a bit messy since i had to transfer everything to my laptop, and i may have misplaced some stuff..

Also' date=' recently I've been working on helping ZimmMaster complete Avol's Darth Vader mod . . . I'd like to announce that it's pretty much done and fully animated! I'll try to post screenies soon...[/quote']

 

Erm, do you have AVol's permission for this?

[Sith Holocron]

I certainly hope that they have permission. It would a shame to waste the effort. (I'm looking forward to seeing your video on a computer that doesn't block streaming video.)

[Ӄhrizby]

Um, well when ZimmMaster asked me to help finish it, I assumed he had permission, I asked and apparently he wasn't aware that it was needed..

 

Oh and the video was set to private on accident, I fixed that

[HdVaderII]

Does one need permission to ask if they're editing a mod for private use? As long as you haven't released it to the general populace, I believe it's kosher to edit another's mods.
