lukeskywalker1 Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 (yes, i posted this as that good idea or bad idea thing) Im making a movie type thing for JKII. It uses only cutscenes, and its ingame. I know if this can go really good, or really really bad, depending on how it turns out. Heres what ive done so far: EDIT: Sorry, but the link is gone!!!! EDIT # 2: Go to my site http://www.freewebs.com/bens_maps and my beta is in the downloads section, use the dark spire clan mirror... thanks! DL it, put it in your gamedata/base directory, and open up JKII sp and type in the console map cinematic. Then tell me what you think. Ill be posting updates, and more peices of it here too. This is part 2 (what you are downloading) I havnt made part 1 yet, but i will soon. UPDATE: Ive emailed the people who made the boba fett model, i want him to be in this, if they say no, then ill just have to make a bounty hunter, but boba fett would be cool -lukeskywalker1
Captian Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 dang, it says temporarily unavailable. ill check back later then
Eldritch Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 That's pretty impressive for a cutscene. My only real gripe is the quality of the map it takes place in, but the cutscene is top notch.
lukeskywalker1 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 Yeah, it was a test, so i didnt do much with the map... but now im making my maps better thats why it has the mirror floor... the rain, and a lot of md3s dont worry pt 2 isnt really that important.... just shows kyle going in the base... and that there are some enemies... stuff like that. And I know about how you see into the void in certain areas, thats to improve FPS for slower machines, and its ok as long as it doesnt show up on camera anyways, i got permission to use boba fett yay! and.. i got some screenshots from my new level (part 1)

Plug the leaks and texture the visible sides if you want higher FPS!!! ...A little hint...if you download the FRAPS utility (http://www.fraps.com, I believe), you can record the game directly to an .avi file, as long as it's in 640x480 res and you can record the sound some other way. Then you can release the movie as a true movie.
lukeskywalker1 Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 oh, i just put caulk on the brushes ill check out that link!
master_thomas Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 That's really good . How long have you been scripting in Icarus?
lukeskywalker1 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Posted July 11, 2003 Well..... my 1st cutscene was, the camera standing still for 8 seconds in a room, then i gave up, my 2nd was the camera standing still in a room... but it was sideways (dont know why) then i gave up then i made this one amazing huh?
Neø Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Thats a good cutscene, and since the map isn't final thats about all I can say on it, I just wish that the Q3A engine did cut scenes like the Unreal engine, which moves much smoother.
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 8, 2003 Author Posted August 8, 2003 Mostly been adding to part 2. But ive had some issues to take care of, and havnt been able to work as much latley. heh, here are some screenies The guy is the dark jedi. Needs a little more work. Plus, in part 2, ive added a lot to the map, mostly detail. Im still adding a tiny bit to the script, mostly a boba fett scene, nothing special really. Just makes it look nicer
master_thomas Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Move the flame thrower effect a tiny bit down, so it matches the source. Other than that, it looks great.
Eldritch Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 It's not so obvious that you'd notice in-game. I'd leave the flame right where it is. It might look like it's shooting from his palm otherwise.
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 9, 2003 Author Posted August 9, 2003 Well, the camera was moving at the time. And it was a test, because i was trying to learn how to trigger Fxfiles in scripts. There were dumb errors, and in the end it was i had misspelled the file mostly been working in part 2, ive added detail to the level (mostl md3s) but i did add another scene (about 50 seconds) which includes boba fett and an atst, with slave one in the back round. Ive made certain areas look a whole lot better to.
<EJK>DevMapAll Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 man this is cool. You should (after you finish this, of course) make cutscenes for SP projects made by other ppl (i.e. be part of a mod team). You really have a knack for cinematics. Also, maybe include some ambient music. Just an idea.
Andy867 Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 For taking a screenshot, bind the f12 key like this bind f12 screenshot silent that will get rid of that writing up at the top the Wrote screenshots/shot999.jpg That should help to better show off the cinematic in a frame grab.

lukeskywalker1 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 Thanks Ill probably go into a team when i get JA. I know ill be making a map i started for JK2 MP, but i never finished, mostly FPS problems. But now ive learned a whole lot about mapping, so i probably will remake it. Do you know a command to get rid of that 'couldnt find image for shader no draw' ? Also, ive added music. The music starts when kyle first walks into the building. So its not right in the beggining when the level starts.
Andy867 Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 That error appears when the shader could not be loaded, probably not loaded into the pk3 properly or wasnt in the right folder. But I am not sure about removing the text for it.
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 I didnt make a shader i was making it so the jeditrainer model didnt have a collar... or it might be the boba fett model but im not sure. Ill just mess around with it a little....
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 Ok... can you rate these screenshots for me... (if its good, then ill use it for most of the remnant base [ I decided to use remnant instead of empire because there were more in game voices referring to the remnant, and the more realistic the voices, the better the game]) Anyways can you please say if they need improving
wedge2211 Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 Suggestion: Go to the "Curve" menu. Apply liberally. Also, little things like consoles, weapons racks, and models. This is a movie, spend time polishing the details.
Captian Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 32 fps in an area like that? is that your specs or is there a huge area behind those walls? anyway, it looks a little plain right now, try putting in more computers, npcs, etc... look into ravens kejim_post and kejim_base(which looks like what your doing right now anyway)
lukeskywalker1 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Posted August 23, 2003 Yeah, its the whole map you saw, (i added a few out door areas, the ravens claw lands, and an area with slave one) and more... just a different area. plus i have 128 ram and win XP so... you get the picture... geometric detail is high, texture is medium and like... that 800 resoultion (cant ever remember the numbers) even though i could turn it to that 1028 resolution... best i can get is around 50 FPS oh well.. (well.. in the void ive gotten over 100 ) Also, little things like consoles, weapons racks, and models. This is a movie, spend time polishing the details. theres one weapon rack... i just took the guns and you see the glass (need to change the shader) theres an imperial officer in there typing at a console, and a few curves... just those wall things though.... and boba is off to the left, you just cant see him cause of the screenshot... look into ravens kejim_post and kejim_base(which looks like what your doing right now anyway) yep, thats where i got the idea for the walls and stuff the kejim base map...

Put areaportals in the doors.
