-Tercero- Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I rarely make requests, but I couldn't hold this one in any longer. If anyone remembers WOD for Quake II, they'll know what I'm talking about. I'd really like to see a grappling hook with physics. I love the way the physics of the jetpack work, and they made me want it even more. I'd just love to be able to swing on a grappling hook, rather that just be pulled statically toward my target. Furthermore, the world of Star Wars is littered with grappling hooks - Luke rescues Leia and himself with one in A New Hope, and Jango Fett uses one to combat Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones. I think that it would add something to the game being able to manuver vertically without a jetpack, and when used in tandem with the force or a jetpack, it would prove a powerful mode of transit. Again, anyone who has played WOD will know what I'm taking about. It was rare that you walked anywhere - the grappling hook almost became my main mode of transit. If anyone is interested, I'd me more than happy to make any custom models or such that would be needed. Thanks for hearing me out - I just needed to get that out there.

Enjoi9187 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 ull get one soon enough , the guys that made the jetpack mod said that when they release their final version of the mod, it will include tons of mandalorian armor related stuff (including a realistic grappling hook) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinny Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 whoa, maybe not for this mod, but could a spiderman type character be implemented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo718 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 I like that idea(grappling hook). I thought of that before as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deetox187 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hell yeah those Quake2 grapples were the best, i too would absolutely love to see something similar created for JK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eternal Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 howdy, i shouldn't really say this.. but i already coded a grappling hook with proper physics... better than any i've seen anywhere... anyone remember worms or something? well something like that only 3d (if you don't remember, it 'bends' around corners ) and you can drag bots when you're jetpacking we MIGHT just release it before our final mod is out (probably in combination with the jetpack mod)... but for this we will probably not release the source.

-Tercero- Posted September 7, 2002 Author Share Posted September 7, 2002 I hope that you do release it early - I'd love to have a hook that works properly - the dragging bots options would be simply fantastic too - just like Jango in AOTC... If you need anyone to beta-test it, I'd be extremely grateful if you'd consider me - also if you want to use my Anakin model in your mod or need a model for the grappling hook or anything else, just drop me an e-mail or a PM. I'd love to contribute to your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG that sounds unreal, i know exactly what kind of hook you're talking about, i've played worms. And dragging bots?? that is incredible, can you drag human controlled players too? Also if i were you i'd take Tercero up on his modeling offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eternal Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 hehe yeah.. hasn't been tested really good in MP yet.. but if it can drag bots i'm 99.9% sure it can drag human players (it should even be able to drag MULTIPLE human players, but this is also untested with bots ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tercero- Posted September 7, 2002 Author Share Posted September 7, 2002 Did you need any hook models? I could whip up a number of different styles in a matter of hours - could have a whole package of them by Sunday night - they could be like sabers with hiltmods - pick your preference... heh heh... Seriously, though- if you need some graphics done for them I'd be glad to supply them. Also, if you need someone to test it in MP, I'd be glad to - I run a LAN server in my house - it's firewalled and hidden from the internet, so the file couldn't get out on the net until you put it there. Oh, and MULTIPLE PLAYERS!?! That must look so odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eternal Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Heh i just took some screenshots for darth syrup and tested multiple player dragging, but you can't (i could probably enable it easily ) and dragging still needs some tweaking (dragging doesn't have really proper physics yet, it works and rather good also, but still not perfectly). also i think we could use a cool hook model and maybe rope texture (look in the base pk3 files whiteline.jpg i think, that texture is used right now) i can't guarantee they will be used because it's up to the entire team assault team but if we use them we'll offcourse give you credit for them Grtz, The Eternal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionknight Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Is it possible to test the modified grapple before you release it? Great job on the jetpack.? Will the finished mod have jetpack options like DARTH_SYRUP'S excellent force mod? Thanks (Team A and Darth_syrup) for all the hard work and enableing us to enhance our gameplay experience.
