Thanks guys Hope you all enjoy him. He's far from a perfect model, but thanks to Arco, Psynes, Sithlord, and GraFox for the incredible textures, this model wouldnt have been anything to look at without them

 

And to the community as well, I might have given up a long time ago with you guys, it was very frustrating early on, but due to the good people here I kept pluging away.

 

I'm gonna get some zzz's, the file will be up on Driving Cat Studios until the major sites have it up, and even then I'll probly keep him up there as long as I have the bandwith

 

Gonna take the day off tommorow and then it's back to work for Kit

 

Oh, PS, he has FULL single player support (facial animations)

Hey Guys,

 

I appreciate everyones patience at this forum. this model was along time in the making and I hope the finished product is all and more than what you expected. Toonces poured his heart and soul into this project and I am just happy to be apart of it. I really hope you guys like the skins, This was my first skinning project ever for JKII (or any Quake]I[ based FPS) And to say I am happy with the result is an understatement. Well enjoy the Model. and once again let me say thanks

[Deetox187]

This model really is super sweet, for now its the only one i'm going to use. (until Kit Fisto is released)

 

And Sithlord i suggest that you start doing lots of skins for this game, your Sidious face is damn good.

[Darth Loki]

Very good. great to see some more quality models coming out.

[mariners2001]

Awesome model! It was everything I had expected of it! Well worth the wait!

 

However, I did find a couple bugs:

1) SithLord's Palpatine has a problem. The .skin file links all the files to "models/players/sithlord_palptine" but the files are in "models/players/sithlord_palpatine". So that's a problem when it comes to using that skin.

2) I noticed there were no caps.

 

Other than that...I loved the icon for Darth Sidious holo and the effect for that itself. That looked awesome. All of the skins are top quality! Great job!

[§ith Lord]

Actually Mariners, my files are in Sithlord_palptine, not palpatine. if they were in the wrong folder, the skin wouldn't show up ingame. there are caps too, you can cut off his head and arms and what not. the texture is just the stormtrooper cap texture

*sigh*

 

i cant even use the model/skins

 

i extracted the file to /base and nadda.

[Grafox]

Well, it works great here, turned out to be a cool project toonces, I really like working with you.

Did you use it on a pure server? If you did, it's bound not to work.

[MaaZeus]

THIS...IS...AWESOME!!! -<sob>- Best model with Vader and Boba/Jango!

[R2D202]

We all bow down to the master of modelling and skinning Toonces & others (sithlord, acro, grafox and psynes) , thx to all these, this skin rulz,, hope Kit Fisto releases soon!

[Plasmacoolant]

That's a great model & very cool skins.

If it isn't what Grafox said then you've probably ran into the infamous skin/model icon limit the game has, i along with many others have been dealing with it for awhile now. I don't know why Raven did this but the player setup screen will only show around 100 icons at any given time. Once you've hit that limit things start to get confusing, sometimes you'll get lucky and the icons will show up when you install a new model (replacing other icons that were there) but most of the time they don't show at all. You can try removing a couple other pk3's from base and see if that makes them appear, or do what i do and load the skins yourself in the console.

 

type these in

 

model arco_palpatine

 

model ct_sidious

 

model darth_sidious

 

model grafox_palpatine

 

model sithlord_palptine (yes palptine)

[Darth Loki]

the hologram is especially cool. why does it not have bot files? i'd love to fight a hologram sidious...

[Deetox187]

There are 2 botfiles in the pk3, but only for the arco and sithlord skins.

[Darth Loki]

yes i know. but I was looking forward to fighting the hologram. oh well, sabering sidious to death will have to do

[12thMonkey]

Fantastic stuff it was well worth the wait.

 

I think a round of applause for everyone who worked on the skinning and model.

[Darth Loki]

i second that. well done.

[Psynex]

THAT HOLO SKIN SUCKS! I'm only saying that because it's the wrong version. That was an early version (test version). The icon isn't even close to final there and I stripped the model of all effect except being transparent (they just wouldn't work).

 

I posted this in the WIP thread too, but...

 

Toonces, you should take a look at that and post a quick update for that. I still have the final version here if you misplaced/lost it.

[Toonces]

Oops I'm not sure how I did that, doh!

 

I still have the file, let me take a quick look

[Professor Snape]

execllent. Everything is going as planned. Now all i need is anakin and kit fisto
