g-blatt Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I've always noticed some thing weird about the the Stormtroopers in JO (I think it's the helmets) and I'm wondering if you guys are going to fix them for the DF Mod.

g-blatt Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 No I think there's something wrong about the entire shape of the helmet, look closely at the pics above and I think you'll see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3rr0r Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 the main thing i can see is that the jo stormtroopers have fat heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Maybe you're right, they do look different. But let's finish the models we have to make from scratch first, before worrying about fiddling with "completed" models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris the cynic Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 When you do get around to it (fiddling), the Gamorrean's head and Boba's head also seem too fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent_Thunder Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I think the problem with the Stormtrooper helmets in JO is that they're too large on the top (or too small on the bottom..) If you look at the Stormtroopers in the movies; the helmets seem to taper more at the top, and the "gas mask" area on the bottom is much wider. Also, I don't think the Gamorean (?) Guard's head is too big. I think his body is too small. If you look at pigs in DF you will see they're REALLY wide . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheat Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 yeah hapslash is an accuracy freak so you can be sure all the models and skins for this mod will be sickly accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Here's a topic that I know about, I think the problem with the JO (AND JA!!!) Stormtrooper is that it is mirrored so it is perfectly the same on both sides. That and the helmet is exteremly mis-shapen. It is too fat, and has NO EARS. Plus, it doesn't have much of those tubes on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Uh, not really TK. You exaggerate a lot. It's not all mirrored, and you act as if the head is some misfigured lump of ****. It's pretty accurate, not as good as Hap's but better than most other SW games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 It IS mirrored, Emon. If you open the pk3, you can see that only half of the entire Stormtrooper is in the texture files. I think that the Stormtrooper from JK/MotS is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Blade Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah.. it's pretty much all mirrored. "Technically" it's not.... The center piece on his butt and his backplate aren't mirrored, but to be honest they might as well have been. I don't really mind the JO trooper that much, but I agree I that some parts (like the head) are a little odd in shape.... Kind of like what you would find on a crappy Hasbro 12" figure. Long live Marmit!!! P.S. - For those that don't know what I mean by Marmit, here's a little gem of Hap's. It's alot more expensive than Hasbro's figure, and isn't exactly a "toy" per se... but still. http://wat.midco.net/eggnog1/marmit-trooper.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all mirrored, and you act as if the head is some misfigured lump of ****. Yeah,... it's completely mirrored with the exception of the back of his torso. I've redone the textures so that the chest, abdomen, thighs, and shins will no longer be mirrored, but the rest of it is virtually the same as it was before. I always thought that the JO helmet looked like some misfigured lump of ****, that's why I started to remodel it. But to be honest it's not like I'm starting from scratch, They did do a passable job with it. I just think they should have had someone more familiar with Star Wars take a look at it before going ahead with it. Especially considering it's your main enemy for a lot of the game.

I hope Raven wasn't using them as a reference I know of Marmits but they are so much money I never looked into them. I didn't realize the head was redone Umm, the legs on the JO stormtrooper are not mirrored. The shin guards have the appropriate different tops to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the big guy himself! Told you I know about this issue. Don't question a Stormtrooper when he's talking about his uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shin guards have the appropriate different tops to them The tops of the shin guards and the bottom of the leg plates are seperate pieces. And while these modeled pieces are different, the rest of them are identical and use the same texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm sorry for going off topic but, did Emon really get banned? Doesn't seem like he's the kind of person to get banned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Emon banned? Thats strange; its probably just a glitch or something has gone wrong with the forums; if he does complain about something he is usually justified in doing so. He always seems to be keeping it real.

TK-8252 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Just look at his profile, it says "banned" all over it. I searched for all of his posts and found nothing against the rules and no edits by moderators in his latest posts. I would be pretty upset if they banned me by mistake.
