Khier Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 There are a bunch of great models for JK2, and I've been thinking, would it be possible to get those models, and maps I suppose, converted into JK3? I guess we won't be able to find out until more information on the game comes around, but it would be a real shame to finally get a great model done by the time the game comes out, but no one uses or downloads it because they're all playing JK3.
SettingShadow Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 I think Raven said they will release tools so you be able to convert those things from JO to JA.
Hekx Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Originally posted by ChangKhan[RAVEN] I want to try to make sure we release the details about what model-makers need to do to get their JK2 custom models to work in the new game (including, if necessary, releasing some tools a little early to make it so that modders can have their custom models ready-to-play by the time the game hits the shelves).
Wudan Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 I have no doubts that models will be completely compatible. As for maps, because the weapon drops won't be the same, a mod would be needed, or perhaps Raven is already putting this in to the game.
Emon Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 Mostly everything's going to be the same methinks. I highly doubt they have messed with the model format itself, but I'm pretty sure they have improved the GHOUL2 system. Take SP for example. Assuming they don't remove any entities that are already there and only add new ones (which would be the best way to do it), it would be possible to put a JO SP map into JA. As long as they don't remove any ents, everything should still be there. This is disreguarding lack of old media though.

Tesla Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Converting to jk3 already wait alright raven will most likely realise tools for our great model makers etc,and it's Jedi Acadamy
Wudan Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Even if the model format is different ... well, it shouldn't be too changed that we won't be able to figure it out.
razorace Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Of course, but it's not going to be just a simple .txt change.
Psynex Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I'm looking forward to JA for the fact that the models will be different. I'm hoping for a more user friendly skeletal system. Can anyone say custom animations?
razorace Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Well, if Raven would give us the correct animation model we'd have animations NOW. It's not an issue of user-friendlyness.
Wudan Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 My indication from Raven is that making the GLA editor is a good thing, and that they never expected a mod team to really need to make new animations. Given the ammount of active TCs out there for JK2, I'd say that's accurate.
Hekx Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I just hope modellers have the time to go back over their JKII releases, and put them into JA.
