quamosity Posted September 5, 2002 Author Posted September 5, 2002 Keo, no I haven't. I have yet to actually get into any of the New Jedi Order books, but I will not allow that to prevent me from making a saber similar to that style. There are pictures of several Vong in the New Essential Guide to Characters, and I could base one off of that. However, if you have any other images of what you had in mind, I would love to see them. That is definitely a great request. And I should have a good deal of time this weekend to take care of a saber or two. -quamosity
keo718 Posted September 5, 2002 Posted September 5, 2002 Excellent. I don't have any pics, but I can look for some. I'll be sure to post screens if I can find them.
t3rr0r Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 yes! an amphstaff would own. maybe combine the new essential guide depiction and the agents of chaos ii: jedi eclipse version (http://lookinside-images.amazon.com/Qffs+v35lepRJHsPGe6f8ylfoUNivFcYl8iPoKt64krpMSw71apSGG8XFvPsl0C6b2VhTMfPFfg=).
icepool Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 Yes this would be a great idea. Unfortunately I myself was going to create this at one time but never had anygood pictures just discriptions in all the books I've read. Hope you create this it would be awesome.
keo718 Posted September 7, 2002 Posted September 7, 2002 Quamosity, Im having trouble finding any good pics. I'll keep searching though. T3rr0r, It seems that that link is not working. Are those ref pics?
t3rr0r Posted September 8, 2002 Posted September 8, 2002 aw crap... here's the page http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0345428595/002-4147756-6982448 click on the cover for a larger view.
Jon_Cypher Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 here is my best description of an amphistaff: a long black scaled snake, with a pointed, sharpened tail at one end, with the snaked head being roughly the size of two fists(I suggest the mouth be open for the saber to come out of) the eyes are red and the underside of the amphistaff is grey. the amphistaff is able to be a whip, which when is not used, wraps around the arm of the person posessing it, it is also able to bite, with a fatal venom and is able to spit an acidic substance at targets from many meters away. that's the best description I was able to gather from all the NJO books I've read
Jon_Cypher Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 by the way, have you thought about my suggestion of doing the double bladed lightsaber? I think it would be nice to have more than just the exar kun and the maul saber for dual bladed fighting... http://members.tripod.com/MousieDroid/Hilt/Jarvis_Zarhn_2.html but that's up to you
Pnut_Man Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 finally an amiphstaff for my vong bots to use when i rp Very very kool

And then I stopped thinking about it. That saber looks quite a lot like Darth Maul's saber. In fact, its nearly identical, give or take a few details. If you have used my saber pack, you would notice that I have 4 different dual-bladed lightsabers for usage - Phoenix Darkstar, Jediq, q_sleek, and then that Kun saber. So you DO have options. As for the ampstaff, I have completed the twisted handle for the hilt, and I want to do something with a snakes open mouth for the blade emitter, however I am having difficulty planning that out. Progress should continue once I find some time. Thanks quamosity
t3rr0r Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 did you ever figure out if invisible blades were possible with selectable hilts?

t3rr0r Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 Originally posted by quamosity I don't remember having even discussed it....please refresh my memory... it was back on one of the first few pages of this thread. Originally posted by t3rr0r is there anyway to make the whole pike a jedimod compatable saber without the energy blade? if there is, i'd like to request the type of staff kir kanos wields, the double-bladed one... if that's not too much to ask.
quamosity Posted September 10, 2002 Author Posted September 10, 2002 oh...right...that. Well, I figured that since there are the katana replacements and the axes, that doing a dual bladed force pike would not be too much of a problem. However, I do not fully understand how it should be done. It might be as simple as not including tags with the hilt, or it might be something else. If anyone has an idea on how to get that to work, I will implement it first on my force pike saber (with tip) and then work on Kir Kano's pike.
Pnut_Man Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 Well everything sounds awesome, i'm really excited.
Daskers Posted September 11, 2002 Posted September 11, 2002 If not then somebody should make a mod that adds an invisible blade. Maybe in the next version of JediMod or ForceMod. I've said this before.
Pnut_Man Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 My friend mark says the dude who made jedimod is busy at college so he won't be able to update for a while :/
Morthvargr Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 The katanas and axes I've seen were made by making all colors of the saber blades invisible, so you couldn't really use those *and* normal hilts.
keo718 Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 The problem with the invisible blade is that there are alot of cheap people on Multiplayer who would take advantage of it, using it for regular hilts.
quamosity Posted September 12, 2002 Author Posted September 12, 2002 keo, in response to that, i could lower the tag_flash on any extended weapon I model, so if someone was to abuse the blade length, the only 'exploit' they would get out of it would be the fact that they would see the blade, in turn ruining the experience.
keo718 Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 So in other words, do you mean that if they pick a normal sized hilt that the blade would be visible?
quamosity Posted September 12, 2002 Author Posted September 12, 2002 I think I may have misunderstood your point to begin with. How exactly do you see people exploiting the invisible blades? To me, it would seem that if you cannot see your own blade, you aren't getting any cheat out of that...you are in just as deep as your opponent would be... But please explain it further
keo718 Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 The invisible blade would be primarily for the purpose of using with things like the force pike and gaffi stick. This way, you could make both of these models without having to worry about making them hilts. The invisible blade shouldnt be able to be selected with regular hilts. You wouldn't be able to see how an opponent is attacking you.
Daskers Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 Maybe you should have hilts that are internally programmed to have an invisible blade. That way only the modellers could exploit it. Maybe an option to assign a different sound set to them would be good as well. Get rid of the saber sound.
keo718 Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 This would take a good bit of coding, and I'm not sure of who would be up to the task.
