Notice to all hilt modelers!

[Dest]

I am the maker of JediMod and I will be releasing saber hilt selction code in version 1.1.

 

**This will allow players to select their saber hilts just like they select their models**.

 

In order for this to work however, the hilt pk3 files must be modified. Instead of putting the glm, md3, and texture in the models/weapons2/saber/ directory they must be put in models/weapons2/saber_hiltname/ directory. So if you were making a saber hilt for yoda you might have this in the pk3

 

models/weapons2/saber_yoda/saber_w.glm

models/weapons2/saber_yoda/saber_w.md3

models/weapons2/saber_yoda/saber.jpg (the texture)

 

models/weapons2/saber_yoda/w_icon_lightsaber.tga (for the icon in the bar at the bottom when you change weapons. I didn't really include this in my mod because it crashed everytime I tried to load the new icon but other mod makers may find a way to fix that.)

 

models/weapons2/saber_yoda/w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga (for the icon in hilt selection bar)

 

so basically you put everything in a saber_hiltname directory like saber_yoda, saber_vader, saber_myhilt, etc.

 

Other mod makers will be using this naming system too. I know that NickR will be doing this in his mod. My mod is opensource so other mods will probably include this later on.

 

This will make saber hilts actually useful! If you have any questions post them here.

You are the maaaan!

Thanks alot

I myself don't participate in this community but still, it's awesome!

[Dest]

actually I could just use the w_icon_saber.jpg for the saber selection bar.

[-Chrono_MOT-]

1.) will there be any hardcode modifications or will the code recognize new sabers as they are added (similar to how you choose skins)?

 

2.) what format do the hud/selection icons need to be in?

 

3.) models/weapons2/saber_(name) for all files, correct? Should we include 2 files then, one for those with jedimod and one for those without or will it make no difference?

[Dest]

the code will recognize new sabers as added.

 

I'm not really sure about the hud selection icons because I havent done that part yet. but I'm thinking just a tga file name w_icon_lightsaber.tga and w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga.

 

You could include files for those with jedimod and those without. It would also be good if in your readme's or somewhere you said that the hilt was mod compatible or something like *This hilt is compatible with mods*

[Jo]

if your saying your other name is Kinja...yeah right..that's like saying yoda was really a sith lord...kinja can actually model, he is tolerable and he doen't make great modelers(sithlord ii) quit modeling. kinja appreciates ppl..unlike you

[delquar]

when will 1.1 be realeasted dest?

[Dest]

w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga is the file that will be used as the picture preview.

 

it has to be in the models/weapons2/saber_hiltname/ directory

so like models/weapons2/saber_yoda/w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga would be the picture preview for yoda one.

[-Chrono_MOT-]

send me an example of this so I can make my next hilt JM compatible.

 

chronofanatik@yahoo.com

 

I don't know what the pic should look like.

[Dest]

its supposed to look like the hud icon except without yellow around it basicly. Not sure why its there but I use it. You can look in other people's hilt files or in asset0.pk3 for an example of w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga

[Deetox187]

That is too sweet man great job, will be very useful for me and my frequent habit of switching hilts. Now i can finally stop copying pk3's back and forth all the time.

[Dest]

hmm posts dont seem to be updating..

[MeLoN]

This is terrific. The Attack of the Clones Total Conversion will have to use this... A MILLION thanks Dest!! You are my hero.

[Dest]

I just released version JediMod v1.1 so you can test your hilts with it. It should be up at jk2files.com and jediknightii.net soon

[Lord Infamous]

Dest i really love your jedi mod 1.0 and i was wondering if it was possible for you to add the option of the ability to run up the wall after already in the air like in the JO Fanmod

[Adonai Saboath]

could thise even work with Pistols? and other weapons aswell?

 

I think it would be cool, and add to the general star warsy feel of custom homemade weapons being weilded by bounty hunters, and imperial issue weapons with them blasted imps....

[-Chrono_MOT-]

Of course it could, in theory ^_^.

[Darth-Nasty]

will different people/bots be able to use different sbaer models or is it still one model per game?

 

can two different models be used for the dual lightsaber?

that's already in there...

[Darth Loki]

What would be fun is if you could stick to the walls like yoda does in AOTC when hes saber fighting.

[Dest]

different people/bots will be able to have different hilts. That is the purpose of the hilt code. It makes hilt models useable. You can even have a hilt in one hand and a different one in the other hand.

i don't recall yoda sticking to any walls.

[TruWeedSmoka]

Would you believe me if I told you I had another screenname and i used this one to vent cause of all the #### you mother####ers have put me through. Lets just say my other screen name starts with a K and ends with an A.

[Dest]

Make sure you include a w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga file. The hilts dont seem to be showing up in the hilt selection menu if that file isnt there. I thought I had it so it would just show a default one if it couldn't find a w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga but thats not working so at least include the default w_icon_lightsaber_na.tga.

[rut-wa jodar]

DEST ! Is it possible to download jedimod 1.1 form somehere else besides jkII.net & Jk2files.com ?
