recombinant Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 The same information was posted in the Raven forums, and I shall post the same reply I posted there.... Question from a MOD team... · Character and vehicle enhancements designed to enable expanded mod support. Modders will be able to design their own Jedi, character outfits, sabers, etc. But does this mean that MOD teams will be able to create new skeletons & animations, or is it going to be more of the same (i.e. all new models based on some revised form of _humanoid.gla)? Our team has modelers chomping at the bit to create Kell Dragons & Dianogas, etc. for our MOD and it would be awesome to get this kind of support from Raven. On another topic... How does the release of Jedi Academy bode for the release of a Single Player SDK (even if it's for Jedi Outcast)? Thanks!
Shaggy1984 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Will you be able to save your customised character's appearence in multiplayer as you can force power combinations. I can imagine that with the huge amount of customisation that you can do it would become fairly hectic if you were wanting to change between specific customisations that you like without having the ability to save set customisations.
SPY_jmr1 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Hi everyone, SPY here... All this info is great to my ears, and I was wondering about the 'Rag doll skeletal system', and if we could get some details about this, if its allowed (also, i've had Kenn's user group changed over to the Raven group by a admin (Thx Rhett! ) so we don't have any more mixups.)
XanaJedi Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 So kenn look into ur glass ball and tell us when ít MAY be realeased
SPY_jmr1 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 When its done... I think you'll find the programers have NO control over when its released... If i'm mistaken, please prove me wrong.
XanaJedi Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 its Q2, so u can GueSS when its gonna be out....
recombinant Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 It's scheduled for a Fall 2003 release: http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/features.htm Hope This Helps!
Solo4114 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Kenn, Thanks for the news. Nice to see Raven taking an active role in keeping the community in the loop. A couple of quick questions. 1.) What ability will modders have to edit animations? 2.) Any further word on the "extra" game mode for multiplayer? Some of us are hoping for class-based objective focused gameplay. (not to betray my own preferences, but what the hell. ) 3.) What's the word on how the sabre styles will break down and how balancing the various stances and such will work? Theoretically a double-bladed or dual-wielding sabreist will be a VERY formidable opponent. Enough so that a single sabre user might not be able to beat them. The more detail you can provide on how sabres will work, the better. 4.) Will the guns be identical to JO? Will the operate identically (IE: repeater is back, but its just a reapeater, not a heavy repeater). Any details you can provide are appreciated. Some of us are also hoping for a more star warsy feel to the guns (less explosives, more blasters -- that sort of thing). 5.) What kind of details can you give us on the force powers? Anyway, thanks again for the info. I recognize you won't be able to answer a lot of these questions, either due to legal restrictions or due to the game still being in production. PM me if you'd prefer to respond privately to any of this, by the way.
Andy867 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Fall is Q3 of the calendar year, so probably early august to mid september would be an educated guess on when they will release it.
XanaJedi Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 darn it , i wanted so play it on my summer vacation
razorace Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Wait a second, he said "Rag Doll Skeletal System"....not "Rag Doll Physics System". What the hell is a "Rag Doll Skeletal System"? That could mean anything...
HertogJan Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 Fall is Q3 of the calendar year, so probably early august to mid september would be an educated guess on when they will release it. Eh... Fall is from 21 september to 21 december... But I think we'll be given a release date in the summer or something...
Andy867 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Originally posted by HertogJan ... I think we'll be given a release date in the summer or something... I don't think so, not with LucasArts confirming in their Press Info as aiming for a Fall Release, which is where I've gotten my info.
Pedro The Hutt Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Doesn't stop them from giving a more precise release date during the summer though ^^
HertogJan Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 There was a precize release date for JO too right? I believe is was like 14 or 18 March 2002... They will have to give us an exact date sometime, but they won't do it too soon, probably not untill the game's gone gold!
SPY_jmr1 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Guys, guys, guys, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO DO THIS... This thread is NOT for release date debating... please, no more, or it'll be removed... Let me say this AGAIN... RAVEN has no control over when its released...
The_One Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Yes, can you divulge any information on the possible release of a Single Player SDK for Jedi Academy, or even JKII, with the release of JA just round the corner?
Blademaster_109 Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 all we have to do is wait for E3, to get some real good info and a movie.
Wacky_Baccy Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Posted by PromoSidone When is e3? 14th to the 16th of May [ E3 Official site ]
XanaJedi Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Hmmmmm will it be the matrix reloaded or the e3 hmmmm:rolleyes:
razorace Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Well, this will make it easier; E3 isn't for the general public.
Pedro The Hutt Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Indeed, you generally speaking need to be part of either the gaming industry or the gaming press to be able to get in. And ofcourse carry one of those desired passes XD
