tam Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 well i decided yesterday on the entertaining idea of making a total conversion for jedi knight 2 for the great series of highlander. its a show that shows immortals running around cutting heads off to kill the immortals, and the winner recieves the losers soul which merges with the victors, giving him more knowledge, strength and so on now its perfect for the jk2 engine as the head requires dismemberment which is already coded in jk2, and saber melee, which is also coded into jk2. jk2 allows models of 3000+ pollies, meaning good models and mroe freedom for model makers. its a good chance to make possibly the first total conversion for jk2. in this mod, we will have an elaborate dueling system. where one immortal will duel another. In the match, there will be a locational damage system, one place doing more damage than another. if u are a skilled player u can cut the head off in a match, and recieve the quickening then. or wear down ur opponent to 0 health as then he would kneel down where u can have a chance to chop off his head, and recieve the quickening (a scene with lots of lightning surrounding and hitting the player ensues with the soul switching bodies) and the winner will unlock a new special move. now this mod is definately in its enfant stage as ideas are still coming in and starting to get noticed. it was started yesterday, so team members from all positions are needed. hope i can see some of u in my pms. when u are applying, please show me a sample of ur work. also the mapper can have freedom to map maps from any time period (as immortals = any time period). plz take consideration in this mod, as i really would like it to succeed
Tems Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 i suggested this in another thread. i think its a good idea, but itd be a big undertaking. ill help if i can and if this get soff the ground. i say go for it. -Tems
tam Posted April 13, 2002 Author Posted April 13, 2002 well its not as big as u think. all it really needs is models, maps, animations. and some code in between. its already got dismemberment code in and saber melee in. its not really that big of a project. all i need now is team members really
twoshadows Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Check your PM's - and you're going to need a real Mod document.
UniKorn Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Tam, trust me, it's bigger than you think. UniKorn Project Lead/Mapper 4 Wired Lamp Studios http://www.wiredlampstudios.com
Tems Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 tam: bigger indeed. im a skinner mapper and modeller and all of those are no small task. animations will be a pain. maps wont be too bad i guess. models will be. skins wont. -Tems
tam Posted April 15, 2002 Author Posted April 15, 2002 yes i know skinning and animating is gonna be the hard part of the mod. i need now a skinner, an animator, and a 2d artist. i've gotten webspace this morning, and i've also got the forums up and running, when i fix some color problemw with em i'll post the link
Tems Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 ill help you with skinning and 2d art. i can do some mapping also if you need it. keep me updated. papergnat@yahoo.com -Tems
tam Posted April 15, 2002 Author Posted April 15, 2002 alright thanks tems, but if to accept u in the team u gotta go through the same thing everyone else does, have to see past work and so on
Tems Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 bah. now i have to either go make some more skins or locate some old ones. ill find something for ya. -Tems
DarthFreak Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 Do you think JK2 will make a good "platform" for mods and models or will it be difficult to change?
tam Posted April 15, 2002 Author Posted April 15, 2002 we dont know yet when the sdk and source come out we'll find out the answer to that but the source is essentially from the q3 engine, just with more stuff, so it, like q3 shouldnt really be that hard to modify
SpyCatcher Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 In case you did not know. There is going to be a MMPO Highlander game coming later this year. Sorry but I do not remember who is publishing it. Think you may be wasting all your hard effort, but it sounds fun. SpyCatcher
tam Posted April 16, 2002 Author Posted April 16, 2002 yes but there is 2 differences between my game and theirs mine is going to be completely free, no pay per month mine is using the jk2 engine as a MOD not a full game, theirs will probably make their own engine
twoshadows Posted April 16, 2002 Posted April 16, 2002 Just hope they don't try and pull some copyright infringment crap - Also, doing a Tocal Conversion is a HUGE amount of work.... remember how long it took the TC Starwars q2 mod? I think they finaly finished it at the end of last year if I recall..
tam Posted April 17, 2002 Author Posted April 17, 2002 lol yeah it takes lots of work, but hopefully we can pull it off heh well i got the site up guys at http://www.fpsmods.com/highlander forums are up so u can register, all the other sections will be up soon (just as soon as i finish kicking this damn html)
