Wes Janson SMR Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 A DF to JK2 port is a mistake. Grave mistake. For this to work, DF needs to be re-imagined with the aid of the current technology, and our knowledge of the future plot. Not only that. A typical FPS like DF will get boring to play, no matter how much nalstalgia one has for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Originally posted by Assault3000 Yeah well I made one anyways. http://pub34.ezboard.com/bdarkforcesforjedioutcast I will fix it up later but this is one of the best message board sites so I registered one there. I'll get on writing the scripts for the voices. Dude the forums I have on the cards are already in motion to be set up. It's pointless pulling out now and what we get will be a million times better. No banners ads, a proper ubb forum. Full customizable, fast and no crap url Head to http://www.thegamingunion.co.uk/Forum/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi and click into any of the forums there. We will get 2 like that Darth Linux, it may be tricky for me to help you currently as I'm very busy in real life. E-mail me at heavypear@hotmail.com and I'll see what I can do. More details would help, and some explanation of what exactly you want to do too I'll try and get working on the website this weekend, but I haven't spoken to the relevant person regarding this yet. Forums will be up in a couple of days, and the site maybe in 4, 5 days I'll have the space and an initial design up in a week or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Janson SMR Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 If you're re-imagining something, you'll need a flexible voice cast not bound by the original script. In otherwords, using the original voices would be pretty pointless if you're trying for that "different, but the same" DF that everyone wants.

Daskers Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Will you make some old Dark Forces models like the Dark Trooper gun, Dark Troopers (1, 2, and 3) and the (notorious for its SUDDEN absence) Navy Trooper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assault3000 Posted April 26, 2002 Author Share Posted April 26, 2002 I'll ask this one more time. Do you people want the original voice files or new voice actors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Janson SMR Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 You have a script finished already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Linux Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 I'm not sure the team wants to re-imagine anything. Seems we are pretty interested in recreating DF as original as possible . . . there will always be people who think that is stupid, or a bad idea, or that no one will like it. Luckily, those people are *not* obliged to help or play what ever it is we end up making . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I piped in on this already. I'd prefer the original voice files . . . but we have to be ready to dump them and redo them all if LEC comes back with a "NO" . . .

Assault3000 Posted April 26, 2002 Author Share Posted April 26, 2002 Well I'll keep the script in case Lucasarts ends up having a legal attack e-mail knocking at our door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be asking these types of questions on the mailing list, not here, that way people will surely see your question. D_L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzar Sectus Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Eek. I don't check the thread in one day and it's already gained two threads. OK I hope we can let this MIDI subject die because there isn't much more to say about it. Well, things got pretty concluded anyway with your reply *shoots the MIDI subject dead* Question: Should the normal doors open DarkForces style (step close to them, use-button to open them) or like they react in JO (open like before you reach them)? The JO style is more comfortable and my current setting. Personally, I'd like to keep things as they were with things like this, so I'd say good old buttons. But then again, we should have some project leader to have the final word on stuff like this... *hint hint* -Remi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Linux Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 Any mapper looking to recreate a DF map in JO might want to check out wEdit at http://www.magicforce.com/ It's a DF level editor that allows first person and 3/4 perspective views of all the maps, fully textured in high res and with hardware acceleration.
