-----UPDATE-----

Hey everyone, I know it's been a long time since any word about what's going on with the project has been released, so that's what this is. After many strenuous days of the most irritating of all irritants, college, I have finally made it to Fall Break and thus I should have at least a few days to be able to get down and dirty with SOTE.

 

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I have a rough layout of the entire piece of Act 1 completed!!! Act 1 contains the planets/locations of:

1. The Freighter

2A. Naboo

2B. Slehayron

2C. The Devastator/The Tantive IV

3. Ansion

4. The Phoenix (Temporary ship until the new area is skinned and compiled)

5. Yavin IV

 

Note that even though you see 7 planets/locations you will only be able to play through 5 of them at a time because 2A, B, and C are alternative introductions. When I say a rough layout, I'm only talking about the main plot. Now that I have some time to waste allowing me to mod, I'm going to running back through the Act 1 content and finalizing the main quests.

 

In essence THE PROJECT IS STILL ON!!! I just haven't had time due to college.

It is good to hear that this project is still on :D.

 

I know exactly what you mean about college, it has taken up a ton of my time. I was thinking about trying my hand at some skinning but haven't had enough free time to sit down and read the tutorials and actually skin.

 

Getting back on topic....I think it is really cool that you have alternative introductions.

 

Keep up the good work.

I have a revolutionary idea that I want to add to SOTE which requires me to rearrange only a little bit of dialog here and there and redo the Freighter module. When I say revolutionary, I mean to the plot and not the physics of the game or anything. Anyways, my question is how would I go about constructing a cut scene of the quality we see in the movies? Also how do I get another companion to become the "player," kind of like how the PC is passed out in the Ebon Hawk in the beginning of TSL and T3 saves the day by you taking control of him.

What about the Dxun Jungle(The Tomb)? That would be probably the same way to do things I think.

 

I... err... can see the connection to the Dxun Jungle tomb module with the party leader companion but I can't go back and figure out how Obsidian did it. I need a step by step instruction as to how to accomplish that. I've tried and the best I can do it separate everyone from the companion I want to lead but the problem is that I cannot get the PC to leave the party.

Anyways, this is precisely what I want to see happen ^

Would it be possible to un-recruit the PC and have him join again later? I would look into BoS as Silveredge did it really well (duh).

 

Oh that's right, however I can't remember what module(s) it was done in. Can anyone tell me what module Silveredge did that in?

Dak's link seems to be exactly what you are looking for, especially (of course :p ) stoffe's post... It actually seems to be spelled out pretty explicitly.

 

Would you mind giving me a link to stoffe's post you're talking about, I don't remember seeing such a post anywhere around here.

-----UPDATE-----

Hey everyone, sorry for not updating this thread in a while. I've been battered with papers, reading, papers, reading, and more papers for college. Anyways I found some time this weekend to work on Shadows of the Empire and thought I may give a brief overview of what I did.

 

As of now I created an epic new intro which I'm debating on releasing once I get it Voiced and two other scenes that are connected to the intro are now done. Right now I'm still trying to finalize the main plot for Act 1 and make it ready for release. NOTE THAT IT IS STILL GOING TO BE A LONG TIME BEFORE I DO RELEASE ACT 1!!!!!

 

However the big thing I did was find music for Act 1 which is what I am now releasing today. Hope you guys enjoy it, also let me know what you think about it and it won't be too hard to change it...

Aren't the track titles a bit of a spoiler?

 

I don't think so, in fact I really wanted to release the intro I showed you, or at least I think I showed it to you. But the problem is that it still isn't voiced yet and this was the next best thing. I spent the last day work on this so I'd be a little pissed about doing all that work not be able to release it. Plus I'm looking for people's opinion about the quality of the music since for me to compose what exactly I want is in reality nearly impossible, instead I just took copyright free music off the internet.

 

Also Sith Holocron, meet me over at the SOTE chat box.
