Gamma097 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I've been thinking of the possibilities of a mod where players can wield and swing a lightsaber in Republic Commando, possibly similar to the Energy Swords in Halo 2 & 3. Does anybody think that it can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You would probably have to make the animations yourself (if possible). I don't think tere are any melee animations for RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trench Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 What is this about Fixer's melee attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma097 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 What is this about Fixer's melee attack? Well, Fixer's favorite weapon, according to the hints in the game, is the 'Katarn' armor gauntlet vibroblade. Maybe that's what Hockey was referring to.

HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 yes and no.it is his favorite but also if you look at him when he strikes, he swings his blaster down onto the enemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma097 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 yes and no.it is his favorite but also if you look at him when he strikes, he swings his blaster down onto the enemy Oh, that's what you meant. It might not be of any use to this because it would only look right if his hands were placed so it would look like he's holding a lightsaber, not a DC-17m blaster.

Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 It could be done, but it would take a pretty skilled animator to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 well, how bout the SB droid's cannon arm melee attack. he swings his arms down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You would have to apply that to the Commando using the saber, and using animations on models that they weren't made for always ends up with a lot of glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 well you are halfway there because you can find a lightsaber on the prosticutor on the mission, alone. at teh barricade before the you find the first trando elite, look to the right and crawl into the vent and look at teh clone body on the right...... speaking of weapons, im making a super ammo and rate of fire mod, intrested?

Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Does the lightsaber actually activate and have the lighting and other effects? If not, then that's another thing that must be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 no, but still.......maybe you could take a blastter projectile mesh and turn the texture green, then mount it on top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 That would be good, but first I'd have to learn the basics of RC modding, and whether or not it will work with the BoPC version:p I'm speaking from my (slightly limited) knowledge of KotOR and TSL modding.

HockeyGoalie35 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 the only way to mod is use the unrealed in the repcom directory unless you are making meshes and stuff like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Okay, I'll check out the UnrealEd. Is it a downloadable tool? Or does it actually come with the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma097 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Okay' date=' I'll check out the UnrealEd. Is it a downloadable tool? Or does it actually come with the game?[/quote'] It comes with the game. If you installed the game to the default directory, then it should be here: C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Republic Commando\GameData\System The file called UnrealEd.exe is Unreal Editor. no, but still.......maybe you could take a blastter projectile mesh and turn the texture green, then mount it on top? A blaster bolt would be a bit too short to be a lightsaber, it would have to be longer. Also, it wouldn't necessarily need to be a green lightsaber. I actually was thinking that it would be a different color, depending on where you found it. For example, the one on the Republic side would be blue, whereas the Trando one would be red.

Trench Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well I found the UnrealEd.exe, and clicked it. But I can't use it. The computer I use to mod is one of my dad's work laptops, and its owned by the company he works for. And those chakaaryc's have something that prevents me from using the UnrealEd. I could reinstall RC on this comp, but I wouldn't be able to test the mods once they were made. This comp might not even be able to run the UnrealEd. I need a Macintosh.

Trench Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 How about making it silver? That would add some uniqueness to it, as well as making it "work" for the commandos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your fighting with Jedi on some parts of the campaign and the Jedi dies so you can take their lightsaber and use it. But that wouldn't make much sense because one would think that a Jedi would last longer in battle then a clone commando. And for multiplayer you just see the lightsaber on the ground and you can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalore The Shadow Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It would be cool to see this done but as Mand'alor said it would take a skilled animator to make the animations but it would be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trench Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I just thought of something, if Boss is the only one who will be using the saber, then we might not have to do to many animations after all. Just some camera movements and the blade swinging and it could work. It wouldn't look good if you were using the third person cheat, but then again, what does?

Just some camera movements and the blade swinging and it could work. It wouldn't look good if you were using the third person cheat, but then again, what does? That is true, but I was originally thinking that it would be in multiplayer and singleplayer. We would just need a few third person animations for multiplayer and a HUD view of the lightsaber that would be used for multiplayer and singleplayer. By the way, with Unreal Editor, I took the lightsaber static mesh and put it in the Animation Browser on a clone trooper so it would look like he's holding a lightsaber. Only a few frames of a couple animations looked right, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
