-Chrono_MOT- Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 First of all, I never told Shawn he should quit. I told him he should work on his skins more. Second of all, when I post my work in here I take criticism and I look at it from all angles. If I have honestly done that (which to be honest Shawn rarely does) and I still think it's fine then I won't listen. But I don't jump back and fire off just because someone says it needs a little work. And who are you to say that you have refrained from comment anyway? I guess you failed to see that the people commenting in this thread have already made several models and put them in-game...so you get a feel for how they will "look" based on the renders. Since he is rendering them using a child's program compared to what most other people are using, it won't look very decent in-game. For someone who hasn't even appeared to have released a model yet, you sure do have a big mouth to preach from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk_of_war Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 And do you know why I haven't released one? Its because if I ever got to be a popular model I would be afraid I would turn into a jackass like you. If your wanting to make it personal, email me and I'll knock the hinges off the door that is hold me back. I have found that just showing a rendering of a model is often not enough. Sure it gives a vauge idea of what to expect but if it is functional is yet to be seen. Something that looks bad in a render may look great in game, and vise versa. Obviously your too caught up in making a bunch of pretty pictures to take notice of that fact. I posted here, and continue to post here, because I liked what I what I saw, and I saw what was a possibility of a very good looking saber. My desition on that is not final until I see an in game screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithMaster01 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 What happened to the pack that was supposed to be at jk2 files Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Shawn Posted August 25, 2002 Author Share Posted August 25, 2002 Ask...88: You just have to have every part you skinmapped seperate, export everything, all your frames(The tag_flash and the names of your skinmapped parts), to a file in base/models/weapons2/saber called saber_w.md3 . Make all your textures and put them in the same directory. Now we need a .skin file, open notepad, and type your saber parts names where I have *, and your skin file where I put ^. *,models/weapons2/saber/^ Do that for every part of your sabre that is seperate, then save the file as saber_w.skin. Now, you need MD3View, so goto jk2files.com and get the two SDKs(unless you already have it of course.) Now, open MD3View, and open your MD3 from the directory, import your saber_w.skin, see that the skin is the way you like it, then go to file>export as Ghoul 2(glm), once exported all you need to do is use pakscape to make the pk3 file. First make a new folder, name it models, then in that make weapons2, then in that make saber, then import your texture files, and your saber_w.glm file, save it as a pk3 file(make sure the dropdown menu has pk3 selected and not zip) and save it as (whatever).pk3, replace (whatever) with any name you want. Simply load up JK2, go into a game, and your sabre should work. If the skin doesnt work, make sur all your skin files are sized 512x512. Hope this helps The pack file and a few other sabres were supposed to be up yesterday, apparently he didnt get around to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Vertex Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 90 degrees counter clock wise. Scale along the axis Scale x,y,z. Make sure it's still nice and center, or you saber will be off in the hands of your character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBell Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Sith Master...does age really matter in these forums?

I respect both of you and i will have to stay out of this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
