t3rr0r Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 i love it. sith lord's sidious skin has to be my favourite, though.
SpYzEr Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 I have a solution for the icon problem: Take the models that u want to show up first and name them like "zPalpatine" and it will show up first, "yPalpatine" will show up second if u have no "zFile", and so on... Hope this helps Edit: By the way, i LOVE these skins guys, great work!
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 Sorry guys, making you re-download this, version 1.01, just a minor update, had the wrong version of holo sid in there. The file is a little smaller this time http://www.drivingcatstudios.com/ct_palpatine_v1_01.zip
fat_101 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 ok im d/l it now so i havent played it yet but if everyones sayin it i might aswell DAMN this model rocks :D i cant believe its this good FATTEH
Psynex Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Toonces, you're as mad as I am! Going to bed late and waking up early! Is there a way to get an update to the jk2 download sites, or don't they have it yet?
WhiteShdw Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Hey, this model is really nice. Especially considering the fact that it's not possible(at this time)to animate the clothing. Only problem i have with it though, is that it takes up 5 spaces in the character select screen. Not really a problem for me right now, but it might be problamatic in the future when more models are released. Personally i prefer to have all the non_default skins to be hidden like in the Cheshire Vader model. But that might be just me:D
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 I'm beaming right now I'm so glad you guys all like him I was worried since there was such a large diffrence in both model construction, and experence for myself between Palp and Kit Fisto, but it seems that Arco, Sith, GraFox, and Psynex definatly made up for that bigtime Sorry to have to put up that little update, I'm not sure how I put the wrong version of Holo Sid in there, I was half asleep when I packed the thing last night Hopefully the bugs (and I know there are a bunch) aren't too bad, I tried to work them all out but there were a few that I couldnt seem to get around A BIG thanks to nomad for the sounds, he did a fantastic job with that pack edit: Yeah, that icon limit stinks WhiteShdw, I couldnt bump anybody off the main page though. Holo Sid was origionally going to be one of the CTF skins but due to the fact that he can become invisible from a distance I decided against that. Kit Fisto will be a little diffrent, there will be no hidden icons, but I will be releasing the default in one pk3, and then each artist's skins in a diffrent pk3, all in the same innitial release zip though. I'm doing that specifically for the icon limit problem
Deetox187 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 SpYzEr thanks for mentioning that.. now i can see all the pretty icons for this model. Psynex i really think you were selling yourself short with the Holo Sidious Toonces put in the first pk3. I thought the effect looked absolutely great, the new one is great too though.. can't decide which one i like better.. But you could have kept it the way it was and nobody would have complained.
SpYzEr Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 The only thing i semi-dont like about it is the pointy elbows... but other than that i love it! Great work!
Psynex Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 What can I say, I'm a perfectionist. It wasn't EXACTLY what I wanted so I canned it. I think I'm going to research it all more and maybe put it back in if I can get some interference with it to break up the disruptive UV mapping. *Bing* Just had a lightbulb appear above my head. I have another idea that might work. Don't expect an update anytime soon though. Plus I'd like to remove that black abstruction around the icon.
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 Originally posted by SpYzEr The only thing i semi-dont like about it is the pointy elbows... but other than that i love it! Great work! Yeah, they bug me a little too. I tried to work that out but when I changed them it made the sleeves look a little too small, and when tried to weight them diffrently they just looked strange. That's one thing I'll try to fix durring a potential update, won't be for a little while though Pointy elbows add 5 damage to backstab
Madjai Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 the models good, but the sounds are a little weak. jumping and getting hurt are the most common sounds and it hasnt been changed so it sounds odd. oh and the hologram is a little too clear, it should look more like the ghost of kyles dad.
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 Don't Fault nomad on the jumping and pain sounds, I removed the pain sounds because they repeated over and over again and gave me a headache. I was going to try and get new ones but I ran out of time. I hope nomad isn't ticked I took a few sounds out, I did them as a last second edit edit: I actually do a pretty good Palpatine impersonation (I have one of thoes radio voices) If I can make some decent pain and jump sounds I'll include them in the update (whenever that is)
skywalker19 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 thx deetox,i'll try that out...im going to do a reinstall as i had too much junk anyways(well over 70 extra skins and 40+ maps) lol. ill keep you guys posted Originally posted by Deetox187 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 Maniac Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 GREAT SKINS/MODELS - ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I am trying to make a skin based upon this model for personal clan use. I have run into a problem and it is a problem I have found with many community created models. Perhaps someone can help me. Basically the proportion of the skin jpegs are warped somewhat when ingame. For example if I add lettering to the back of the skin jpeg, ingame it appears stretched. I try to compensate by squashing the lettering a bit but then it loses definition and the edges look blurry. With the models that come as default with the game this is not a problem and I can make tweaks and add lettering and the letters look nice and sharp ingame. Can anyone offer any advice?
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 I can't really help you with this, but I can tell you why this is happening. It's that the uvcoords are off a bit. This being my first unwraping job it was far from perfect so that is where the stretching comes from. I do plan on doing an update for this model down the road, I'm not sure when, but I will, and this will be one of the things I will look at.
skywalker19 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Update:K i did a full reinstall,which really seemed to help game performance etc. The models and skins work great!! I especially love the sound when you fall to your death..its soo perfect!! Toonces and anyone else involved with this project..GREAT JOB!! !! I'm looking forward to many many more future releases. *cough* Plo Koon *cough*
keo718 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Hey Toonces, a bit off topic but how do you switch angles to take screenshots in mp?
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 There is a list of console commands avalible for download somewhere that has all the commands, but these are the main ones Cheats on of cource cg_thirdperson (will give you a list of third person camera controls cg_thirdpersonangle (0-360 deg) cg_thirdpersonrange (range 0-???) cg_thirdpersonvertoffset (change up the verticle position)
bleek Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 I d/led the first version of it...then the 1.01. Did you take out the blue ripples that go thru the hologram thing:( . That looked so kewl!
keo718 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Thanks Toonces. I e-mailed you a little skin edit I did.
Toonces Posted September 21, 2002 Author Posted September 21, 2002 Oh, that was an older version, Psynex wasn't happy with the effect so he sent me a new version. I think I still have that one on my HD, If it's ok with Psynex I could pack it up and distribute it as a new skin, it's his call though edit: Just read your message, I'll take a look keo
Woodrodius Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 This model's rad, I like the big baggy sleeves, it would also skin nicely into a ringwraith I was thinking, but this NOT a request, so don't hurt me!!!
Darth Maniac Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 It would also make a great base for a "Scream" movie skin.
