Kumba Posted June 17, 2001 Posted June 17, 2001 That's right... the site for the Jk2 Sci-Fi mod I've been working away at with my team for a while now is approaching it's official announcement date. The Flash Site is just over a week away so when it opens you'll be greeted with pictures of screenshots and more.... Stay tuned. Also there are still some position openings. If you are interested please let me know : shade@redfaction.net Also in case you missed the teaser shots a few weeks back, check them out at the following link : http://lazersoft.virtualave.net/jk2 Kumba
TheJackal_jk2 Posted June 17, 2001 Posted June 17, 2001 I know JK2 uses the Q3 engine. But isn't it heavily modified? How can you start doing a MOD on a game that isn't out yet and you aren't certain what the engine would be like? Other then that: I like that teaser screenshot! Looks sweet!
Darth Simpson Posted June 17, 2001 Posted June 17, 2001 I was wondering about the engine too... I like the pics you have up so far though!
Kumba Posted June 17, 2001 Author Posted June 17, 2001 The Q3 engine handles certain file formats... we therefore, can map the files in Q3, then when Jk2 comes out insert our custom textures switch npc's and such set waypoints etc etc. Same goes for models. They are based on the md3 file format... so we can go ahead and do just about everything but programming. I really need a sound guy for composing some techno music for the mod... note this is not gonna be StarWars, we are simply using Jk2 because it has ICARIUS2 and GHOUL2 which are very helpful. I am glad you like the pics.... l8r.
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted June 18, 2001 Posted June 18, 2001 Makes sense. But shouldn't this go in the Editing Forum?
Kumba Posted June 18, 2001 Author Posted June 18, 2001 Probably, but since this is just announcing that the site will be out soon I see no harm done... plus more people see it here
Mafia_Jabba Posted June 18, 2001 Posted June 18, 2001 I heard the q3 engine sucks for outdoor terrain is this true?
Kumba Posted June 18, 2001 Author Posted June 18, 2001 Q3 engine is great for outdoor terrain, if and only if you know what you are doing.... if you don't know what you're doing then no, it's not.
Mafia_Jabba Posted June 18, 2001 Posted June 18, 2001 thanks for the insight [ June 17, 2001: Message edited by: Mafia_Jabba ]
Darth Simpson Posted June 18, 2001 Posted June 18, 2001 Scary pic you have there. And no, the Q3 engine does not suck when it comes to rendering out-door terrain.
LeftHandedGuitarist Posted June 19, 2001 Posted June 19, 2001 Hey Kumba, you should use Nine Inch Nails for the music. They're SOOOO good!
Kumba Posted June 19, 2001 Author Posted June 19, 2001 COPYRIGHT. Plus I dislike their music. We're gonna use custom music, but thanks for the suggestion.
Darth Simpson Posted June 19, 2001 Posted June 19, 2001 Some more questions... What kind of mod are you making? Are you basing it in the SW universe or a new setting?
Kumba Posted June 19, 2001 Author Posted June 19, 2001 A new setting.... I am still looking for another mapper or two to speed up progress.... and really if you got talent and want to work with us... we're willing to accept you.... cause the speedier things get done, the merrier.
