Maullaney Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I was wondering about the other DF models that I have not seen on the site yet. Has there been any progress on Mohc, Madine, or the Kell Dragon? How about star ships other than the Crow? I know that there is a lot of work still to be done and I understand if you dont want to tell if its a surprise or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracman Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Hehe you answered yourself your question Our primary focus is currently on building the maps and recreating the textures, modifiying the weapons and the most important ennemy characters. Some work already has been done on snowtroopers and Mohc. We can't or won't show all the stuff we're doing because it's not finished or simply because it's not done yet. And certainly we'll keep some surprises secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maullaney Posted April 26, 2003 Author Share Posted April 26, 2003 ah Man! I feel like a newb. Although, I now know that Mohc is being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Originally posted by Mullaney ah Man! I feel like a newb. You have four posts, you can get away with it. If I did that, then I would have to feel bad... lol Well, I thought the DF and JK team were sharing the Kell Dragon. Which team is doing it? Also, isn't Infinity going to do Madine? Or at least he said he would? If so, then we know it'll be as great as Kyle and Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey S Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 Are you guys doing the ships again, too? Things like the TIEs and shuttle? They just didn't look that good in JO to me. Textures just seemed too clean, and not particularly sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTeg Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 hm.. how many Ties and Shuttles appeared in DF ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 All models appearing in cutscenes have nothing to do with JO. Our cutscene guy has aquired high poly models of everything we need. The only instances of ship models appearing in-game are the Crow, a Tie Fighter fly-in on the Executor level and an Imperial Shuttle at the end of the Arc Hammer level. There maybe a couple more, and we are bound to add some in the Nar Shaddaa, Space Port and Corsucant levels. Don't worry, they will be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I feel Imp shuttles should be seen more. I dunno why. Like, on Fest, in a large open canyon, fill it in with a landing pad or something... Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Blade Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 As far as I am concerned, I have a tendency to work on multiple projects at once. Sometimes I need a break or diversion from a specific project, so I work on a different one. Kyle, Jan, Madine, and other models I'm working on have followed that path. I work on Kyle, then switch to Jan for a little while. I get an idea for Madine, I do a little here or there. While I mostly focus on one at a time, this happens alot. So.... While I know others set straight on one thing, I have a more scattered approach. And when that happens, there are alot of half finished details or things that just don't look right. Showing them off so soon just wouldn't be a good idea. That, and we must keep our secrets after all.... heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure i can talk to bloodriot about it he can knock the models out quicker that we can get them skinned but one of your guys said they was gonna make one The one or darth if you wanna talk to me about the kell give me a email or get me on icq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recombinant Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 ummm.... not to be a nay-sayer and a bringer of bad news, but isn't the Kell dragon basically impossible to do in JK2 MP since we don't have any other models other than _humanoid.gla? Seems like a pretty big roadblock to me. That is, unless Wudan, Razorace, Ask, et al. can actually get new animations (and skeletons) going in the MP engine.

Geoffrey S Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Wasn't there this thing the AotC TC guys had got from Raven for animations? But you're right, it could cause some problems. Didn't someone a while back make a spider model which was weighted in some strange way? It was somewhere in the modelling forum. Originally posted by The_One: The only instances of ship models appearing in-game are the Crow, a Tie Fighter fly-in on the Executor level and an Imperial Shuttle at the end of the Arc Hammer level. Yeah, those are the ones I meant. Glad to hear that there're be some more cool ships about. It'd certainly add atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 As far as I know new animations are now possible. While you were in hibernation, Evan, the AOTC TC guys managed to get some support from Raven on this matter. Best thing to do is ask Corto - he is the God of JKII animations He did say to me a Dianoga would be possible because of this new support - so I can only assume a Kell Dragon would be possible too Here's - from what I know - the current status of our main character modellers: Infinity Blade: Kyle - priority Jan - secondary Madine - on the back-burner Corto: Phase 1 - updating and being re-skinned Mohc - in progress Phase 2 - starting soon Phase 3 - starting after Phase 2 Dianoga - some point in the not too distant future Salv: Waiting for a new computer Working on the SnowTrooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recombinant Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 ...actually that information is not entirely correct. According to my understanding of the situation, AOTCTC's Anakin did get help from James Monroe, but the effort was basically unsuccessful. I correspond on an almost daily basis with one of the AOTCTC programmers (Wudan) who is actually spearheading the effort to create a utility to MANUALLY parse the .GLA files, so that we might be able to insert new animations into them. So there is hope, but we're basically still in the same situation we were in two months ago. However, I'm fairly confident that Wudan, Razorace, and Ask will come up with something useful in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maullaney Posted April 27, 2003 Author Share Posted April 27, 2003 Hold on. . . I thought AOTC:TC was done since they would rather use the JA engine because it would suit them better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper1576 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 From what i know they droped the JO engine for the JA Anakin's just come back to the DF2E Team last week. Where just carrying on as normal then when the time comes if JA is better for us we go JA vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recombinant Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 That's a very balanced attitude regarding the adoption of JA, and one that I share - I think The_One and I are on the same page on this issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
