Ten Tigers Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I wanted to make this a topic of it's own so the question didnt get lost in a sea of WELL DESERVED thankyous and gratuitous praise. Now that our thirst for the Sith Lord has been slated, I was wondering about the next logical step. Although I ask this of SithlordII, anyone who can accomplish it is welcome to. I think it would be the height of groovy if we could play as Vader in the single player game. I dont care if he sounds like Kyle or not. I just want to run around as a 3rd person Vader. At least till the Boba/Jango Fett model is released then I will be swapping files based on my mood. Mandalorian or Sith. Thanks in advance...

L2.0 Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Last I talked to him, Sith says a SP version will be on it's way. Just be patient, followers of the dark-handed path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonk-raider Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 or.. you could jsut take the file folder out of the pk3.. and rename it and the sound file HAR HAR HAR and hte shader too, i think he should hold off and make a pack.. a imperal force conversion.. so reb troops are stromies and maybe the empore or just a imperal officer as monnymymm..er mon mothma.. 1 ohhh and wheres that saber handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Jo Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 is it possible to just spawn him as an npc in sp at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EffJi Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Or you can replace just desanns model with this. I have already done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV_JC_Frost Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 How did you do that? Id love to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord-II Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 i have made a desann replacement and uploaded it here to jk2.net i will think about making up a vader model to replace kyle, but IMO right now its kinda pointless, you'd just see his back anyways...... now if it were for a mod or a different level where you are fighting rebels, or light jedi... now that would be worthwhile...

Sniper Jo Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I dont get it, where do I download the version where Desann is replaced by Vadar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 now if it were for a mod or a different level where you are fighting rebels, or light jedi... now that would be worthwhile... I usually do not post here, but I have been keeping track of the Vader Model and the Emperor's Guard model that is being worked on. I downloaded a conversion/mod for JKII that changed all of the characters. It replaced Kyle with Desann and Jan with Tavion and the Stormtroopers with Rebel Guards etc........ it was really neat to play. But, it still went along with the story line.......it was kinda funny to watch Desann and Tavion in the ship at the beginning though.. Anyways.....I just wanted to reply and tell SithLord about the download. I believe it is at http://jk2ed.jediknightii.net/files/index.php?category=2 It is the Imperial Vs Rebel conversion download.

Dark Cloak Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Yeah...where is the SP one to download? And...*bitches* I can't make that Darth Vader saber hilt work. There are what...3 seprate threads about this model to keep up with? I never know which is going to have what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddorpm Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 First I would like to say big thanks to Sithlord II for such an outstanding model of Vader. That's what makes JKII JO so great with all the mod additions to the game. I believe I read in an earlier thread that Sithlord II mentioning that he uploaded files for the Vader Model to JediKnightII.net that would replace Desann in SP mode. However, I suspect that the great ppl at JediKnight II.net may have mistaken it for the previous mods (Update#1 and Update#2) that are used in MP rather than SP. Hey JKII.net can you take a look and see iffin you got the SP Vader Mod that replaces Desann and post it for downloading. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the MP side of botting with Vader, but I prefer SP. Keep up the great work out there modders, JKII Outcast rocks!!!! Thanks...

D.L. Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 It's very easy to convert sithys model to SP (as Desann or even Kyle) Step 1: Rename the file (I'll call it vader.pk3 just to make things easier) to vader.pk3.zip and extract all the files. I think there are 5 folders inside it, but you only need to work with 2. Step 2: Open up the models dir, go into players, then rename the folder vader to desann (or kyle if you want to play as Vader in SP) Step 3: Do the same with the Sounds dir. Step 4: Re-zip all the files (saw to folder vader_sp.pk3.zip) and then rename the file to vader_sp.pk3 Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Cloak Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Thanks. And if you replace the reborn with vader, you get small vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddorpm Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 D.L. I did exactly what you said to do in the above thread in the following steps: Step 1: I renamed the file to vader.pk3.zip. This changed the icon from a pk3 type to Winzip icon. I extracted the files using Winzip. Step 2: There were 5 folders as you mentioned. I opened the model folder and found the vader folder. I renamed it to desann. Step 3: I opened the sound folder and found the vader folder. I renamed it also to desann. Step 4: I re-zipped all the files as to folder vader_sp.pk3.zip. The files zipped up. Step 5: I renamed the file back to vader_sp.pk3. The icon changed back from a Winzip icon back to a pk3 type icon. Step 6: I moved the vader_sp.pk3 file to the base folder in Jedi Knight directory as where the vader.pk3 file is also located. Step 7: I fired up JKII:JO and started a new game. I enabled cheats and typed npc spawn desann. I got desann, not vader. I also typed npc spawn vader and vader_sp but the window said in red letters file not found. OK, what did I do wrong? Any help sincerely appreciated. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnags Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 did you check the box in winzip to zip with the full path? also, when i tried making a new zip file, i had to move the vader directories to my root directory and then make a new zip file in the root dir of my hard drive for it to work.

ddorpm Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 pnags, D.L., SithLord-II Yea! Success! Now able to spawn Vader in SP. Works like a charm. Thanks all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Cloak Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Now see...I like fighting Vader without all those fancy force powers...I like push. That's about it, when I'm fighting a computer. I just spawn him in place of the reborn...but he's so TINY! I tried to increase the size in the npcs.cfg file, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Leagle Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 .pk3 files? How do you make them? They are uncompressed zips, right but windows xp won't let me rename them to change the file type! Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshanks Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Once i have changed the pk3 into zip,i cant change it back to pk3.......please help :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.L. Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 In the My Computer window, do the following Go to Tools ---> Folder Options then the View tab, then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types box It's the 8th line down Now just rename the zip file (which should be filename.zip) to filename.pk3 No probs, mate. Glad it worked for you though I found Vader to be an easier boss than Desann. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
