Blue_Lightsaber Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hey all...I recently made a new npc.....he is a rebel with a red lightsaber. I spawned him and spawned a stormtrooper to test how he fights...he uses an invisible blaster and has a lightsaber embeded in his crotch...can anyone help me to fix the invisible blaster, make him use the lightsaber, and not have it in his crotch? Also, I made a rodian with a lightsaber and for some reason it works fine. http://www.geocities.com/tumadre164 here you can see my problem with the saber in the crotch please answer this ASAP Thanks in advance.

000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I'm not sure why your rodian worked but I've tried the same thing. The following are true. If you want to create a totally new character this will by default give him/her a blaster. If you want to edit an existing character's files that will give them the weapon that npc has. To fix the lightsaber being in the right place problem you will need to edit an existing character (who uses a light saber) and will need to KEEP his/her model. Do not use a new one. Because somehow the models are set up specially so that it knows where to put the npcs weapon. So just edit an existing character (with your desired weapon) and DONT change the model but you can change the skins. And such. I know its annoying but after hours of fooling around with it thats what I came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I want to clear up what I said above this message. 1)Weapons appearing in the wrong place is caused by either making a new character file or by changing one of the models in game that a character uses. 2)So edit an existing character (with your desired weapon) 3)Don't change the model 4)You can pretty much change everything else including the skin.

Blue_Lightsaber Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Thanks Nate that worked for all my npcs except my rebel jedi. I gave him the luke class with luke properties I changed the health sound and saber color but this time I can see the luke saber hilt in the rebels hand but he still has an invisible blaster and refuses to use the saber even if the blaster is pulled from him.

000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 But are you editing the rebel files or luke files. Because you definetly want to edit the same files the model orresponds with. Otherwise there could be conflicts like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Lightsaber Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Im editing the luke files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 But are you using the rebel model with the luke properties? Thats a bad idea if you are. If your using the luke properties use the luke model. But use the rebel skin so you can get the look of your rebel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Lightsaber Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Yeah I was using the rebel model and luke properties how do I get the rebel skin? What is the file name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 thats where I've found my match as well. I've found the model skins. You can find them some where in the models folder or something, I'm not exactly positive. However you could try copying all the rebel skins you can find and pasting them to a folder. Now take all those skins and rename them accordingly so that each different body part matches the one part of the skin that luke has. So for example. If you have a rebel skin called torso_rebel and a luke skin file that says torso_luke. Just rename the torso_rebel file to torso_luke and get rid of the luke skin file. Making sure to put all of your newly named skins in the directory of course. However this is not guarenteed to work. Some skins are set up differently than others so it might get really screwed up but its worth a try. If you want me to do this for you I can.

000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Its going to be in the assets0.pk3 file in the directory models/players/whatever the person is. Here you will find there skins. Just rename or replace or both, all the files you can find with the rebel files. so if you see something like torso for rebel and torso for luke replace the luke one with the rebel one. Heres a face thing you should change: face_01 face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000nate Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 If you decide you need me to do some of this for you just give me an email: nate@eztopar.com or if you just need more description on how to do it you can email me too:) Don't worry I've got nothing else better to do plus its a nice break from my frustrating map that keeps giving me errors that I'm trying to work around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

000nate Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I did what I said for you to do. But there is one problem. Because like I said the skins have to be designed for that model or else there are going to be problems. I did it but there definetly were problems. Since the luke model doesn't have any accesries file than the model wasn't built to incorperate them. which means the rebel will not have the helmet and will not have a belt and other things. I also found some trouble with his legs. However his torso worked out fine. I'm sending you the .pk3 file I created in email. But like I said it didn't work out right. What you could do (however it would probably take much to long) is to customly make the textures yourself. So if you find the rebel nose cut the nose out of the skin file and paste it right on top of the nose in the luke skin file and so on and so on. I might have been able to do this but it would have taken much much to much time plus it wouldn't still really look like a perfect character.
