Twisted Vertex Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 I have softimage xsi 2.01....Just got my trainign CDS . But i would be glad to help. I would look at this as a learning experince. contact me on MSN...Joe@williamirvine.com AS for low poly...Box modeling is out of the question...Anybody know how to modeling using splines, and patches? That would seem to be the route to take.
SithBrakiss Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 lol......at first i thought this said "Arena Breasts" and was reffering to Padme's Tight Suit lol....I Swear.....the R just snuck up on me. Anyways,if you have any luck with those animations,PM me,i wanted to work on a new saber style.
Bloodyras Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 From Chang "It may be possible to do new anims, but Ghoul2 wasn't really designed to be heavily moddable in terms of animations. This is something we're discussing here and we're trying to figure out the best way to make it so the mod community can do this. I think James Monroe (our lead programmer) had an idea about this, but he went on vacation and won't be back until the 22nd... Michael Chang Gummelt Gameplay Programmer: Jedi Knight II Raven Software http://www.ravensoft.com"
Bloodyras Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 And About the Source Code Release: "Yep, I know. It was a decision we had to make in order to do what we wanted to do in the amount of time we had. I've had to explain and justify it repeatedly, I know it kinda sucks, but it's too late now. No amount of reasoned argument is going to rewrite the SP code to be in VMs so it's releasable. All I can say is we'll try to make the next game (if we do one) more mod-friendly (plus, it will probably have a saberstaff at least - where else could we go with the saber?). In the mean time, you can do some cool things with ICARUS, but you can't really change the lightsaber or weapons much. On the other hand, you can do this stuff with multiplayer, no problem, really. And it has bots, etc, so..."

Sounds Risky Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 So it looks like LucasArts decided to screw everyone over.
SithBrakiss Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 looks that way,huh? Proves YET again not to trust a Copyright. First bid for power gets ruined,now no SP Source code for JK2
Twisted Vertex Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 Some Very Creaetive thinking for you guys My programming skils only extend to "hello world". Well we have created a mod that fixes the issue of sizing. Well, heres a big WHAT IF, what if we create a mod that uses a new skeleton. And a new method of animations for that skeleton. I know the possiblites of this are few. Just a some VERY creative thinking...
VampireHunterD Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 Here's my overall view of this situation. In wise words of Ash....... "Hey look pal, you only got two things right now: Jack and Sh*t. And Jack just left town."

JKII model _have_ to be triangle based, which means using basic tools, not splines and patches. Quote what if we create a mod that uses a new skeleton.

I doubt you get much without _hours and hours_ of experimentation."
