Ack Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Hi, i just noticed a thing with the moldy crow... The thing is: I was just coming to the end of the demo where the crow lands and picks ya up. I shoot the two Stormies staring at me, and starts walking forward... I have just 2 in HP and i get shot by the commando standing in the corner... The Crow lands above my dead body, and the commando starts walking a little then stops, then walks a little more, then stops etc... My thougts: Since it is very possible for one to die up there, u should try to make the crow as an "allied" object. So when u try to finish the mission, (if any left) the enemies start shooting at both u and the ship... Is this possible? Plus it would look really cool too!
Fracman Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 And the Crow / Jan could start firing at the Stormies with the ship's cannons... Nice idea, let's see what we can do with this. Fracman
Ack Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 excactly! Jan firing them would be realy awesome!!!
The_One Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 I always liked the idea of the Crow having a weapon that you could operate ala Lando's ship in JKII. Would add a nice feature to be able to take down enemies as you're leaving at the end of a level
Ack Posted April 19, 2003 Author Posted April 19, 2003 that would be kinda cool too! But if so, keep Jan shooting down the remaining troopers! Thats awesome!
StormHammer Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Hell, that gets my vote. It even says something like that in the books about this mission...Jan comes in firing, taking out Imperials until she gets to Kyle, and then they blast out of there, guns-a-blazin'. Go for it...it will be awesome. =D
Katarn07 Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Since you will be getting the Crow to have its own firing action, can we get to see the dogfight between the Crow and them TIES as you fight Boba Fett on Coruscant?
ImmolatedYoda Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 the question is....::eerie voice:: can it be done?
Fracman Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 A possibility would to make the starfighters behabe like NPC, e.g. assign the Ties to team blue and the Crow to team red, insert them in a transparent level on ceiling of the map and let the starfighters follow each other along some bot routes. I don't know if this would work, that's just a crazy idea
The_One Posted April 20, 2003 Posted April 20, 2003 It happens in JKII a couple of times - when you look out the window in the Doomgiver, and when you are fighting the ATSTs in mission 3 or 4, there is a fight above you. We can just dig out those scripts from the assetts pk3s and see how they're done...

Geoffrey S Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Damn those coders constantly complaining about the limits to the engine...
Maullaney Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Hey, I would like to hear complaining. As long as it means something hella cool like Jan wasting stormtroopers would be added to the mod. Yes I said hella, I do live in Northern California
recombinant Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Originally posted by Geoffrey S Damn those coders constantly complaining about the limits to the engine... Yeah, we do that a lot, I guess... and it's an issue that could have been soved by them releasing the SP SDK. But we'll keep plugging away at it!!!
Solbe M'ko Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I may just be mistaken, but didn't Jan call the Mouldy Crow the "Raven" a couple times in DF? Also, whats up with the goofy lookin X-Wing wings (lol) on the new Raven's Claw. I havn't read the books so I may have missed something.
Maullaney Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Im positive that Jan never called the Crow "Raven" in jkii she does because thats what it actually was, a completley different ship(The Mouldy Crow was destroyed in jki). Have you actually played DF because thats what the Mouldy Crow looks like in it, it has thoses wings.
recombinant Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Originally posted by Mullaney Yes I said hella, I do live in Northern California Hey, so do I.... ...er, though I don't generally say "hella." Maybe it just gets back to the "being old" discussion.
The_One Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Actually, the Moldy Crow was never referred to by name in Dark Forces. At that time, when people asked what it was called, they only called it the "Crow". The "Moldy Crow" was actually a joke name, but they adopted it for JK.

Those "new" X-wings are in fact the correct wings for the Mouldy Crow. It isn't a new Raven's Claw, it's a completely different ship.
The_One Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Originally posted by Ackehallgren Will this be easier to make in JA? Still waiting for the full tool release, so we can see what we can/can't do. However, scripting is available in both SP and MP JA, so scripted dog-fight sequences shouldn't be too much of a problem, regardless of whether we use MP or SP
The_One Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by Ackehallgren is the tools released yet? Yes they are, but this feature isn't priority at the moment...
