bondo321 Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 If anyone would like to create a SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE mod, based on the N64 game and the book, please let me know. I would love to create the mod, but I am currently leading a Medal of Honor mod. If you are interested in creating (and leading) a team to make a mod based on SOTE, please contact me at: Email: bondo321@hotmail.com ICQ: 20471064 AOL: Bondo321 Due to time constraints, I cannot single-handedly lead the team, so I need expert, experienced people to help. Thanks -Bondo321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techsurfer Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Dash Rendar in SOTE is a mercenary so you can't use the force if you simply follow the N64 game. I suggest you read the book by Timothy Zahn - then you can play Luke and there are some pretty cool battles like against Xizor's robot and Xizor himself. The attack on Xizor's palace would also be pretty cool. Just thought I'd let you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo321 Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 I see what you're saying, but Rendar is hardly in the book. He's not the central character (unlike the game) - Luke and Lando are. It'd be easy to simply play different characters at different points in the game (and ya don't have to follow the storyline religiously - we'd most likely take the DIE HARD: NAKATOMI PLAZA route and 'add in' levels to the story) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techsurfer Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 That's an idea but I would seriously consider keeping the same character throughout the game - changing between characters is notoriously bad continuity in games and only really happens in arcade style/action games that aren't too good because you can lose the plot or forget what you're charcters priorities/progression is. So write around the story but keep on playing Luke throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo321 Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 That's a definite possibility Techsurfer. I won't rule it out. But right now I need someone to collaborate, someone to help create a team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 There's other SOTE source material too. There's a print novel (by Steve Perry, NOT Timothy Zahn). A graphic novel (comic book). Soundtrack album. PC Game (just like the N64 game as far as I can tell). There's also a book "The Secrets of Star Wars Shadows of the Empire" by Steve Saffel and Mark Cotta Vaz, which I haven't read. I'm moving this to the editing forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondo321 Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Exactly. Actually, the soundtrack is great! If (for some horrible reason) John Williams couldn't score Star Wars and/or IJ4, Joel McNeely would make an excellent replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inbredyokel Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 A Shadows of the Empire TC would be quite awsome. I have the TPB comic and have read the novel a couple times. If you get a few people together to do this (seems that it would take quite a few though), I'd be glad to skin or make textures for it. Even if you just made a multiplayer mod with loads of new models and maps it would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenFrog Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I would like that mod! I have the N64 game. I think it would be great if you based it on the N64 game. But I don't know anything about the book. Could someone give me a summary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 GoldenFrog, your sig is interesting. I bet a Star Trek vs. Star Wars Mod WOULD be pretty easy to do. You could just leech models off elite force. Not sure WHY you'd want to thou. Razor Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jezuz Pie Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Well I always wanted a borg model for JO, but I think it would be a problem because of the different skeletons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 That's a good point, I didn't think of that. But at least the physical modeling would be done, you just have to convert it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenFrog Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Well... It looks like I've started something. I've always thought that would be a neat thing to do. Anyone want to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inbredyokel Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I was never a big fan of the N64 game. It didn't really follow the important events of the book or comic, it just went off on its own tangent following dash. A mod following Luke (with a few cutscenes thrown in to show what's happening in other parts of the story) would best capture the plot, and it would have the most jedi action.

Karshaddii Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Luke and Lando--main characters?? Yeah, they are--but aren't we forgetting two other people? Leia and Chewy = ) 'specially Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan_Tencza Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hey folks... In regards to the comments made about switching characters during the game... Remember in Mysteries of the Sith, You play as Kyle for three missions then you become Mara Jade until the end of the game. Perhaps you could play as Chewie / Lando for a while then be able to switch to Luke. I'm not sure how this would be done... and I can't imagine it being easy 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenFrog Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by razorace Go for it. I don't have very much knowledge about mods. I once downloaded the Elite Force GDK and I had a bunch of missing stuff(textures, etc.) So I have never learned. I also have a very small amount of programming knowledge. I can't make very good 3d models either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inbredyokel Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 This isn't my thread, but if you guys want to discuss a Star Wars vs. Star Trek mod, you should probably start a new thread. You'd get way more input that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
