mindy112 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Is it possible to edit a saber in game, and raise the dmg of it? And then put that saber into a seperate pk3 and rename the saber? If anybody knows how, could somebody please give me a little tut, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanamaru Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Not in game no. You'll need to edit the .sab file with the line damageScale #. # being any number with 1 the base, <1 weaker, and >1 higher damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy112 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 How do i edit the .sab file? and where is it o_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanamaru Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If you download the SDK on jk3files it will give you a guide on what all can be done in a .sab file. To edit the file you need to use: Notepad, Wordpad, or any other text document reader/writer. assests0.pk3/ext_data/sabers/ This is where you will find the .sab files. Some examples are: kyle.sab, luke.sab, single_1.sab, single_2.sab, dual_1.sab and so on. The easy way to remember the .sab file name is that it should be the same as the command to give the player a saber in the console: saber kyle is related to kyle.sab. There are some exceptions, but this is mostly true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think you can also edit the damageScale in game through the console menu. Could be wrong about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=*Raz0r*=- Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You can, but it will affect all sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy112 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Ok, i've found the .sab file i want to edit, but how do i convert it into a .pk3 after ive edited it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=*Raz0r*=- Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just put it in a .zip with the correct folder hierarchy (ie: ext_data/sabers/mysaber.sab) and rename it to use a .pk3 extension, that's it =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy112 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is there anyway to make the saber look like the same hilt as another saber in game? i dont want nobody to know im using a modded saber, so it looks like a normal saber to them so basically, i edited dual_2 saber and added it to the server, i went in game and it looks like a single saber hilt so people can tell its modded, anyway to make it look like a normal staff?

-=*Raz0r*=- Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 No, not without replacing a hilt entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanamaru Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 And then that is cheating and will get you kicked from the servers. JA has a check to make sure that things like that don't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 it doesn't really matter what the saber looks like on your end, all the damage calculations are done based on what the server sees and it only uses pak files it has locally.

irish_texan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 when i use pakscape to open my .sab files there is no "damagescale" line, it only shows the following: single_1 { name @MENUS_SINGLE_HILT1 saberType SABER_SINGLE saberModel "models/weapons2/saber_1/saber_1.glm" soundOn "sound/weapons/saber/saberon.wav" soundLoop "sound/weapons/saber/saberhum4.wav" soundOff "sound/weapons/saber/saberoff.wav" saberLength 40 saberColor random } why is this happening and what should i do about it? im opening the .sab files with notepad; is there a better program i should use?

katanamaru Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If a line is missing the game defaults to base. In this case the line is not there and the game uses the base '1' damage. Just add it in to your .sab file and it will work. damagescale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_texan Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 thanks whats the maximum you can set the damagescale to? and can you go ahead and give all the possible line entries for a .sab file? apparently my game defaults to base with most of the contents of the .sab files... also, i still experiment with using movie duels 2 assets in regular JA, and i was wondering: where in the assets folder are saber styles kept? because in movie duels 2, galen mareks backhand saber has a style of its own, unique to the others. so where are saber styles kept in the assets?

katanamaru Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I haven't looked in the MD assests, but the animations are probably attached to the model like what I did for the backhand styles I made. So you'll have to look in the models folders for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish_texan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 they were. i just took the _humanoid_galen folder from the MD2 assets and put it into my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
