I bet we dont see any of those changes unless its an expansion pak

 

Dunno about that, Mike Gummelt is going to look into some changes due to some feedback I gave him...

 

Another thing I'd like to see is height adjustment ability for models, then we could have short Yoda and tall Vader.

[Longshanks]

So where is vader 1.3 dudes,i cant find it anywhere.?

[Zip]

Hey who-ever made the reskin, can you post it on jediknightii.net because I don't want to wait for the fileplanet thing... that's the only place I can find the new re-skin

 

[Zip]

I keep forgetting that http://www.jediknightii.com and http://www.jediknightii.net are the same sites :/

 

[sithlord-II]

the new version of vader should be out soon

i have sent it in to jk2.net, jedi-outcast.com and polycount now

 

i talked to spam/thedevil on irc tonite, he is making some big updates to the files as well, so hopefully we'll see it come up soon

Thanks for the link Ant, downloading as we speak

 

but I have one question? Arco's skin was cool and all, but it was missing one thing...the shine on the helmet and armor. I was wondering if you added that to his skin in 1.3?

[remark 666]

If you can't get the cape to work then I can just ask my good friend to animate it for ya, if you want then just reply here I guess.

[sithlord-II]

it does have the shine on the helmet

and i'd like to know... does your friend know how to put newly animated items onto character models? because i sure dont

heheh

[striderx2048]

what was wrong with the cape mesh b4?

if you do a saber throw, it gets a hole or is it just me?

actually now light stance causes clipping with the belt and cape

 

tnx for making arcos skin default

[sithlord-II]

the cape itself is solid

however the way it is weighted some parts pass through the cape

like, if you do a throw, his arm pulls up and forward, so a little part of the cape passes through vader's hip

or his waist, whichever

and when he's running you can soemtimes see the inner cloak pass out through the cape

:|

not much i could do there

[striderx2048]

well its still good model

maybe someone will come up with ingenious way to fix that later

[KandyFLip]

nice model + skin Sithlord and Arco.

 

One suggestion/request/plea though. If you put out new versions, please give the pk3 a different name. It's gonna be causing problems with 3 versions out there all in vader.pk3. I run a couple pure servers, and right now the old version is there. So anybody who has gotten the new version already won't be able to connect because their vader.pk3 is different from the server's. When I get the new one up, then the same will happen to people who still have the old version.

 

So, the goes for all modelers/skinners, please try to keep the .pk3 filenames unique (as well as the skinnames/paths within them).

[sithlord-II]

hi there

well the new one is named vader_mp_model.pk3

but i do understand your point

np man

[striderx2048]

the point is to update to the new version, old version are outdated and must be removed

[Delmar]

must it be removed? i understand that the .pk3 filenames are different but aren't the internal folder names within the .pk3 files still both listed as "vader"? Will both Vader versions be allowed to run on the same system or will it throw the system for a loop?

 

EDIT: My grammar sucks.

[striderx2048]

delete all versions not 1.3

use only that 1 pak file

[sithlord-II]

since they use the same dir setup you will run into odd problems -ie. using the incorrect textures or older model version at times. This is similar to problems people have when trying to use the vader SP mod with certain other mods, other mods try to override teh cfg files and model files for kyle, therefore the model does not show up ingame properly

its all in just how the pk3 files are managed and which ones take precedent over the others (IE. why if you add a new pk3 file, how it will override certain files within the assets0.pk3)

[Delmar]

Thanks Sithlord.. I always appreciate an answer with an explanation instead of "just do it and don't ask why."
