Sub_Woofer Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I can help with some of the graphics for the website if you like, but I'm not much of a website designer. I could do a half decent one though, but not JKii.net quality. Anyway, I made a new menu for the game. It's similar to the JK2 one except the cursor is a Green lightsaber, and the colours around the JK2 logo are green instead of blue. It also features the JK2 Novel cover in the background. I spent AGES on it, trying to make it cool with photoshop, but I never was quite happy with it. Eventually I realized to darken the edges with airbrushes and clone stamps but then I realized all the work I had done with it using airbrushes and clone stamps, could have easily just been done with a photoshop lighting filter >_< Heres a screenie, (For some reason, its REALLY dark when I took a screenie. It's normally alot brighter, and kyle and Jerec fade into the background a bit more. Kyle's lightsaber usually emits a brighter glow also. (Note. Still needs lots of work... I still have the logo, and possibly a different background. any suggestions would be appreciated, I can make more than one. For my next one, I might do a recreation of the original JK menu.) If anyone has any idea how to get rid of that white shader on the left side behind the logo, and how to change the music in the menu sequence, Please let me know.

razorace Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Why go to the effort of recreating JK1 in the JK2 engine from scatch? With the amount of effort you're going to spending, you could make an entirely new story.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Because JK 1 rocked, if you don't have anything positive to post then simply don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I wasn't trying to be negative. I'm just reminding you that this is a lot of effort just so you can play a game you played several years ago, again. It's kind of like everyone wanting to port Team Fortress to every FPS in existance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 actually a lot of people have never played JK1, they just went from nothing to JKO. so a good reason to make this mod is to show people what theyve missed, almost like watching StarWars episodes 1, 2 and 3 before 4, 5 and 6. it gives more background info on kyle and his previous quest to protect the valley of the jedi.

razorace Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Sure, but it's like totally refilming the original trilogy because the film tech has gotten better since '77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjai Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 its nothing like refilming the original trilogy, that would cost billions of dollars, many, many years and its ultimate goal would be to make more money. this costs nothing, we are having fun by doing what we enjoy. time depends on how many people we have in our team and how smooth things run. and the only thing we get out of this is the joy of leaving a tiny mark on a game that will enventually be forgotten. this is much more like porting TF quake to TFC.

razorace Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Lucas isn't filming the new movies just to make money. He's got @$$loads to start with. I think he wanted to finish the story. But the man hours remain the same. That's time lost to a port that could be used to make a new Katarn story. I just wanted to point that out. It's your guys' time, not mine.

Primesghost Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Hello. I just spoke to Reaper and, though I haven't met everyone on the team yet, I have signed on as a Coder. I will also be working on the Web site (I'm a Web developer by trade). I just wanted to let everyone know that I am excited about working on this project and am very confident that I can get a lot of the feel of the original game. I regret that I might not be able to reply to any messages in htis thread until Sunday since I will be attending QuakeCon this weekend, but I will get back in touch as soon as possible. Is there anybody on the team that's like really good with graphics? If so, please email me (Reaper has my addy) so I can get to work on a bad a$$ site. You can reach me through AIM with the screen name: primesgho (yes it's missing the "st"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razorace Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Hi guys, I noticed something while watching RotJ for saber combat purposes. The RotJ Stormtroopers seem to have slighty different armor than in the other movies. Their shoulder pad armor pieces seem to stick out a bit more than "normal". maybe it's just the actors inside the suits but it maybe worth checking out....

Grets Sirob Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 I am still alive!!!! Yes, I am, really, this is Grets Sirob. (I kinda dissapeared, like my trick? ) Anyways, I'm kinda ditching my other maps, and going straight to the maps for this. Which brings me to this question: Has anyone claimed any of the boss levels yet? Because I'd like to do all of them, I just need the importer, and some time. (It might help to have the jerec, sariss, boc, yun, etc. models/npcs to put in them too, but that might be just me...) I hope to have the first yun battle map soon. Also, when I'm done there, I may try to model some things, cause I don't want to go back to mapping... Later! (P.S. We forgive you razorrace.)
