Arco Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 no that won't happen. you have the choice now and so does everyone else. my skin is an addon to sithlords model and should not be used to replace his more than good enough skin. Enough said.
striderx2048 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 well your cape is better, maybe i missed something but did vader have different pants and sleeves in different movies, so is that why there is a reflection in the different between "darth" and "vader". btw did anyone notice that the model holds the lightsaber on the outside of the right hand, i just saw it with the modelview config
Jedi_Jack Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 i downloaded that puppy, played as luke, and loaded the duel_bespin map in the new patch...FANTASTIC! all i need is a ESB skin for luke and i'm all set keep up the good work, mate
EekTheKat Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Great work! It's almost surreal fighting Vader in JKII... Just a question about the bot support though - is there a way to adjust him so he's a bit more offense oriented? I heard a while back that all the bots are set to "camp" mode or something like that (and that there's a flag you can change in their AI files or something), and that was one of the reasons why they tend to back off so much. Ideally what would be kinda cool is if there was a way to create a Vader bot that's way souped up ( in force powers and general offense + defense capabilities), a lot more aggressive, and generally just so friggin' hard to kill that people can run a mini-co op mode with a friend double teaming against him. Maybe there's a way to extract parts of the Tavion or Desann AI script from single player + use it in the Vader bot or something. Oh well, just a thought
ArkAngel_mykl Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Great model hope you do more. It was worth the wait. Thanks again for putting all the effort you did into it. I wish I knew enough to do something like that
L2.0 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Okay, as most all of the websites have Sithlord-ii's Vader model now, I am removing it from my server. Actually, I just really want to see how many people download it from JKII.Net, and I don't wanna take hits from that.
no_registration Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 Heheheh.... Enlarge Vader's head & call him Dark Helmet... You'll know what I mean if you've watched SpaceBalls...
minorthreat23 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 really like vader model but one minor gripe vader is supposed to be taller than the rest - hes like 6 9 or something. can u make him taller in the next version perhaps. and if u can animate his cape that would reign.
Leagle Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 You know how tall ugnaughts are, right? How tall are they ingame. (mp)
striderx2048 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 in MP, everyone is the same size for hit box reason, its a shame though, can make good small models
sithlord-II Posted May 14, 2002 Author Posted May 14, 2002 yes, just as strider said, in MP you cannot make the models any larger. SP is a different story.
Landflyer Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 So when are the files, to make Vader playable in SP, gonna be released?
Opflash1 Posted May 14, 2002 Posted May 14, 2002 WOW, I really love the model. It was nice of sithlord to make it and distribute it. Great work Sith. I really hope someone can find a way to make the breathing happen all the time. I have enough fun with my Vader now. imagine if he had his breathing too as i choke my friend to death.... Keep up the good work!
sithlord-II Posted May 15, 2002 Author Posted May 15, 2002 backstab problem...? fixed, dude... long ago... and i checked the sounds...the only files that really need to be made louder might be the respirator noises (when it is failing, too quiet) and the one death scream when he falls everything else is as loud as the other files, unless my ears deceive me
Leagle Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 Originally posted by sithlord-II unless my ears deceive me They do, at least with eax on. He is just too quiet, some sounds more, lkie you noticed, but the whole lot needs to be louder!
JediPunk Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 When I try to play as the skin in MP, it displays Kyle Katarn instead.
RPWGabriel Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 I downloaded the model and put it in the base folder along with all my other pk3 files....they all work. Vader shows up in the menu as a selectable character and bot... But when I select him as my character it won't work...it defaults to the next character on my list (darth maul).... Any ideas why vader isn't working for me?
sithlord-II Posted May 15, 2002 Author Posted May 15, 2002 not sure why vader wouldn't beworking for you are you playing this on a server that doesn't have the file?
DaJo Kesea Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 ...it's only a one-time glitch. Mine also chose the next model over, but after I did the following it never did it again: Once the game loads and you see you are not playing as Vader, press Esc and reconfigure your player. Select Vader and you'll be on your way. Hmm, I never noticed the backstab problem, maybe because that move is the hardest thing to pull off for me. Folks and bots in MP tend to run around so much that I can't get a good 180 degree position on them. As for the sounds, I think they should be amplified a bit, too. It very well may be the EAX toning things down a bit, but I'm not going to give up occlusion and real 3D sound just to hear Vader yell. However, if I could hear him yell louder, that would be great! There is a map available called Carbon Freeze that is a decent replica of the final battle in ESB between Luke and Vader. You can even smash the big window and get sucked out into the huge cylindrical room above the platform where Vader told Luke he was his father. On that platform is the antenna array(?) that Luke leapt from, and there is a force powerup on te opposite side if you are daring enough to grab it. I forget the author's name, but it's here on jkii.net, and makes a great level to play as Vader. Unfortunatley bots act like lunatics, so grab a friend and go head to head! It's fun to push them out that big window. Great job Sith! You made quite a model.
Temperamental Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 Several things wrong with mine.... 1. When I join a MP game, the vader skin doesn't show up sometimes. I've checked that it is in the right folder and all, but sometimes it just gives me the bespin cop model.... 2. When my model DOES show up, it is messed up. Choppy, and instead of black, it looks foggy grey. 3. When my model DOES show up for me again, nobody else in MP can see it. I have asked people who I look like, and they have always returned with either "That cop guy" "Bespin Cop" or "Kyle"
sithlord-II Posted May 15, 2002 Author Posted May 15, 2002 if the model does not show up in mp and you are on another person's server, they do not have the file or are running pure server. if no one else can see it they don't have the file.
DaJo Kesea Posted May 15, 2002 Posted May 15, 2002 Temperamental, Others need to download the model from jediknightii.net in order to see it in MP. Point them to the forums so they can see you as Darth Vader. The only drawback is that there may be several Vaders running around on one board so you won't be original, but that's the way it has to be. As far as your graphics problems, they may be computer related. Mine seems to work fine. Do you have any corrupt files in your Game Data folder? The recent patch hiccuped after I installed it because I had a corrupt Anakin skin.
Temperamental Posted May 16, 2002 Posted May 16, 2002 Hmm, I'm not too sure about the corrupt files thing. The patch installed perfectly fine and I've had no problems with the game... Other than the obvious low FPS.
