NJOM : New Jedi Order Mod .

[Tchouky]

New Jedi Order Mod :

 

 

I'd really like to create a NJO mod for a few reasons :

 

- NJO books really add to the SW universe.

- New technology.

- New characters.

- there is curently no njo mods being developed.

- I think this part of the eu should be represented.

 

 

 

 

Basically here are my plans for the mod :

 

- Add Yuuhzan Vongs (YV) :

* can't see them through the force.

* aren't affected by the force (or much less).

* they are more resistant than jedis.

 

- YV's bio weapons :

* amphistaff (can spit venom too and use them like a whip too).

* thud bugs (small homing insects which are throwed to an opponent ).

* ooglith masquers (can disguise as a human //will surerly be an item).

 

- Jedis :

* ordinary weapons removed.

* njo weapons added (which are seen in Star By Star mostly).

* choose their saber style(1 saber /2 sabers / double bladed / extendable saber).

 

- Objective based gameplay :

* Jedi team vs Yuuzhan Vongs team.

* objectives like RTCW (saga type maps).

 

I aim to create a fun and balanced mod.

 

 

I'm a coder and i will be able to code this but i'm in dire need of :

 

* mappers : to create saga type maps (not necessary njo books places but would be better).

* modelers : diferent YV and the young jedi knights (Anakin,Jacen,Jaina,Zekk,Kyp or others...).

: new weapons.

* skinners : same as above.

* sound artist : well the characters, the missions sounds, annd everything else.

* web designer : a web site .

* etc...

* but a coder could still help me

 

 

So i m currently the only one in the team

 

 

So what do you think ?

Any comments, suggestions, flames ?

Sounds like a pretty cool mod Tchouky, I'd play a Njo TC ANY day. I'll support ya all the way dude! btw, What characters would you play as? I'd think that you would play being Kyp, Jacien, Jaina and Anakin should be the playable characters

[Tchouky]

of course i forgot Kyp! shame on me (it's one of my favorite character ...)

[t3rr0r]

i'd definately play a njo mod... would it follow the books from vector prime forward? there are so many cool events and locations...

[Tchouky]

there are already 14 or 15 njo books out !

yeah sure there are many cool locations...

but that's up to mappers....

i d like to have maps of most books....

ithor, helska, yv worldship, coruscant, eclipse, dantooine and many many others.....

[t3rr0r]

don't forget droma and han's misadventures on the wheel. ... i need to get all the ones after balance point. :X

[Darth-Nasty]

BTW there is a Yuuzhan Vong model available:

im sure if you asked the authors nicely they would let you use it

[Tchouky]

but i 've only read dark journey and the one which are before.

 

(just bought rebel dream,rebel stand and traitor today )

wel too bad

if you change your mind contact me

[Billyz124]

lol I forgot, What color Lightsaber does kyp have? I keep thinking he has a purple lightsaber be more powerful than luke and being a Jedi master. I can't wait for this mod too get started Tchouky. I plan on getting Traitor soon

[-Chrono_MOT-]

Kyp had blue, didn't he?

 

And Tchouky, if you give me a good idea as to what kind of level you're looking for (MP, hopefully) along with how many people can play on it, I might be able to whip something up in the future for you.

[Tchouky]

intresting, i have many ideas for maps....

i ll create a good documentation for 1 or 2 maps and i will send them your way...

 

btw have you read njo books ?

if yes which ones ?

[-Chrono_MOT-]

Well, I haven't read any NJO books, so most of what i know is all from websites and various EU sources. I don't follow EU because of the amount of people that disrespect Lucas' work when it contradicts fanbooks.

Ahhh.. finnaly. Like I said last week the Shuriken MOD can be easily tweeked to create 'thud bugs'.

[Tchouky]

i ve already made homing bryar blaster shots ....

gonna replace the model (i'd like a real bug model) and allow it for yuuzhan vongs only...

[Pnut_Man]

this idea kicks ass, me and my friends always play NJO rpgs on the zone...

 

I read Traitor a few weeks ago..i've gotta say it kicks ass..

and when you're finished with it i think the things discusses should be included in the mod (hint- jacen being able to feel the vong through the force =0 )

[Pnut_Man]

btw..i think thermal denators should be skinned over to look like thud bugs..easy model to skin..plus easy effects and crap. (just dont let it replace denator)

[Tchouky]

argh spoiler

that's ok cause it's not this important but still.

 

i wanted to let players to have a lightsaber with a lembent and then see vongs like with force see but in black ....

 

for spoilers use these brackets :

 

spolier text here [/spoiler[

just return the last bracket ....

 

and we will code new thud bugs not replace det packs or something....

 

plz : NO NJO SPOILER HERE or put the brackets....

 

i like your location Pnut_Master

[wedge2211]

THe books were good, I have to say I thought Traitor was a little wierd, Rebel Stand was excellent. How are you doing the amphistaff? I think you should make two weapons, first is a whip mode amphistaff, second is the pike mode, both shoot venom as secondary. Either that or the whip mode shoots venom, and there's a secdonary swing for the pike.

 

Hmmm, how are you handling Anakin's death?

 

 

 

 

- Next time please put spoiler brackets around spoilers.

[Tchouky]

plz can't you read

 

plz : NO NJO SPOILER HERE or put the brackets....

put these damn spoiler brackets....

 

btw it's a mp mod ...

 

even if anakin is dead i think we will model it and he will be playable

 

 

for the amphistaffs well the hard form won't be a problem but the whip might be difficult , but we will find a way

 

and put into spoiler brackets the last part of your post !

[Billyz124]

is the NJOM a SP mod or MP mod?cause if it was MP then you would be able too choose the Vong, and you'd get there weapons and all that other crap..... I thought Vong had Lightsabers.....

[Tchouky]

mp mod and you will be able to play vongs ...

that's the goal of the mod : jedis vs vongs...

[Covax]

On amphistafs, a way to wimp out would be to have 2 seperate weapons based on the same model. One would be the Staff version, alt-fire as the Whip, the secon would be the Venom-spitter version. IMHO the venom (or it's alt fire) should have a stunning effect likt the probe-droids.

 

back to thud-bugs, there's a bit of code in the Shuriekn mod that lets the weapon (it's a model) stick to walls when it hits. I'll see if I can do a demo or something.
