How will you make it so that it goes through the vaporization sequences?

 

God question.....Rhett? :D

 

I don't know of a way to do that, but graphics are more up my alley right now than coding or animation stuff.

Didn't you guys have an animation sequence that one of the guns caused that would be good? Would it be possible to replace the Deleting Stick with that and and keeping the effects...ah heck I don't even know what I'm talking about...you guys can figure it out.

Well, theoretically all you'd have to do is replace the lightsaber kill animation file with the disruptor kill file, but its not that easy. An animation is more than a jpg, and i'm not even sure if things like that can be modded at all with what we can do now, which is limited mostly to graphical changes as far i know.

Okay, first of all Quake 4 isn't even out yet, but it's being developped by Ravensoft (the guys who made JO) :D

 

Second, don't expect another Dark Forces game until a very long time... it took them five years to release a sequel to JK!

 

Third, did anyone read my post? :) I'm still waiting on some pointers... I tried doing one on my own but it looks absolutely HORRIBLE! :sweat:

Yeah rogue! :p

 

You were probably playing it in the middle of the day with the sound turned down, the tv on, your sibling annoying you and the dog laying beside you. :p

 

Play it at night, sound up, nothing to bother you, lights out, etc. It also helps if you don't crank up the brightness.

 

I had to exit the game and go upstairs to be with others no less than five times! :D

As for making the sabers, I'm not sure what exactly I can say that could help but I suppose I'll try...

 

1. Black. The blackness on the saber image files is not rendered.

 

2. The images is going to be smushed and mushed and everything else in JO so tiny details are kind of useless. If you want something specific about the saber to show up ingame, make it big.

 

3. The glow. Your best bet with the glow is to make it a bright version of saber blade color. "If the blade is red, the glow would look redish pink"

 

4. The Blur. use the same colors that you used on your saber blade to make the blur.

 

5. Always remember to make it so the blur looks motion blurred! :D

 

6. Save the images in the highest jpeg quality setting you can.

 

7. It doesn't hurt to blur your saber blade after your done making it either. :D

 

8. Ummm.... I guess that's it for now. :rhett:

Rhett was gonna post the screens i thought. It would be easier that way anyhow, as he can post attachments.
