Fracman Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Robotics would be suitable since it is an ice world, unless we'll have "IceTroopers" there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Also, I was wondering what was going to happen with the Crix Madine model that Infinity Blade is making. Is HapSlash going to take over and use his new Imperial Officer body, or... what? Same thing applies to the Imperial Commando model that Corto made. Or will the mod just use Hap's Imperial Navy Trooper? (which is looking good even in early stages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Blade Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I'm still doing Crix as of now. The note of Hapslash working on it in the website and anywhere else that might say that is a mistake, one that both Hap and I have mentioned, but just has yet to be corrected. I am basing the torso of the Crix model after Hap's officer torso, as we both thought it would be good idea just so that they look of similar design. That's where Hap's involvement so far in the model ends. There is a fairly early pic of the model/skin on my website... I'll have a newer one up, but probably not till after I finish Jan.

michael_collins Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hap is doing a navy trooper model? its not on his webpage, are you sure you arent thinking of the Gen. Veers model? PS and while I am here, does anybody want to undertake a dangerous mission to whoever is doing the modeling for the Phase 2 DT and find out what its looking like at the moment? Preferably a guy whos got a leather jacket and a bryar pistol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 The Imperial Navy Trooper is shown in Hap's website in the A New Hope section. But all Hap has done is taken the original Imperial Commander and added the helmet, gloves, and utility belt boxes. I think HapSlash has enslaved all of us. (I know he has enslaved me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hey guys! TK8252MJL wants this kept as closely to the original as possible! I wasn't the only one I got a link to that sandtrooper and was in awe. Then I heard Hap did it. Then I had to see if it'd sneek its way into this mod. Came straight here and to this thread. If I were still able to get the mod, I'd beg for it to pop up in Gromas! :D It'd do great in that enviroment, but I feel that's the only place it'd really fit in. What do Sandtroopers do that normal troops don't do? That gear is for harsh enviroments (Tatooine, Gromas...) so it wouldn't look good in Fest or Ramsees Hed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Well, I haven't played Dark Forces for about at least 7 years so I basically don't have a clue about what the game was like. And I don't think I ever got past the 3rd level! So my opinions are somewhat worthless. But you got to admit, that sniper rifle idea for the mod was kind of extreme. And if there is an ice planet then you got to have Snowtroopers. BTW, I don't know if all the Stormtroopers in Dark Forces were left-handed, but the little Stormtrooper animation on the webpage is left-handed so I was wondering if the team was going to make the Stormtrooper left-handed in the mod.

Fracman Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 the Phase 2 DT and find out what its looking like at the moment? The Dark Trooper Phase 2 is still a robot, and there are no coincidences with a well known guy whos got a leather jacket and a bryar pistol. Even the DT 3 is a robot, and only General Mohc had a wearable DT armor I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_collins Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 i meant that a guy with a leather coat and a bryar pistol could go in an retrieve the plans for the DT 2 off whoever is modeling it, it was a poor attempt at humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Brien Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Originally posted by michael_collins Put the Sandtroopers in the Gromas level, it would fit well with the overall ambience and the dirtyness of the level as they look grimy, the same as the rest of the level. Maybe, but my understanding was that sandtroopers, were actually field troopers, and are not just peculiar to sandy environments. Some fieldtroopers would make sense in Talay and maybe Ramsees Hed and Nar Shaddaa, though HapSlash would have to clean some of the muck off them first.

Tie Pilot Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Maybe, but my understanding was that sandtroopers, were actually field troopers, and are not just peculiar to sandy environments. Not sure, no one really knows because they are only really ever mentioned as being on desert planets, the shoulder plate could be done on other stormtroopers for sure, thats for rank, but im not sure about the backpacks, although what you say does make alot of sense id still like to see sandtroopers on gromas only, because thats were they would be most appropriate even if its not entirely 100% true.

TK-8252 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Tie Pilot, we need to have a talk. First of all, the way Jedi Outcast had Stormtrooper officers with shoulder pauldrons is wrong. The Star Wars visual dictionary says that Stormtrooper officers have armor IDENTICAL to the regular troops. And that only Sandtroopers have pauldrons. orange= squad leader, white= sergeant, black= enlisted BTW, no one has answered my question yet which is: Will there be left-handed Stormtroopers in the mod like there were (I think) in the original Dark Forces.

Infinity Blade Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I kind of doubt we'd go through the effort of making them left handed. I would think that doing it would require several changes, from animation to coding, to switch the gun from on hand to the other. For one, there's isn't a left handed blaster pose that I'm aware of, which would require new/mirrored animations. (firing, idle, ready stance, etc). The animations would also have to be set for the troopers to be a "lefty". Second, the tag and such for the weapon would have to switch hands, and while I haven't done much for JO coding so far, I could see it possibly posing some problems there as well. I would say it's doubtful unless JA comes with a prebuilt option for allowing left-handers... ... or someone miraculously finds a way to easily and quickly implement it...

TK-8252 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I could never figure out why most of the Stormtroopers in the movies were left-handed. Since they are just regular enlisted people, it doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"we need to have a talk " lol:p , anyways nothing has to be 100% exact, no matter how much someone would like it to be, ill just be happy to see the mod finished and out:D Visual dictionary basher!! Btw i also dont think it would be worth the effort to make them left handed neither, as i said it doesnt have to be exact, do you think the casual gamer will give a **** about what hand a stormtrooper uses:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they are just regular enlisted people, it doesn't make any sense. Actually about the only time you ever see them left handed is while the troopers are standing at attention. Probably so that the weapons clip, which hangs off to the left, doesn't rub against their chest. During any other time they're almost exclusively right handed.

Tie Pilot Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 how could i be in the 501st, i live in northern ireland. I have no affilation with any army of any country but i am a tie pilot............ In xwing vs tie fighter hehehe:p Btw why exactly is it so important for you to see left handed stormtroopers? And Why are you being so serious? This is a gaming forum not a star wars expanded universerse stormtrooper analysis forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I meant This 501st. I just thought that if the Stormtroopers in Dark Forces were left-handed that it'd be nice to see left-handers in the mod. Well, I was just providing information about the uniforms, I didn't see myself being any more serious than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Not even I noticed the left handed soldiers I guess because you're a stormie buff? I like the commandos, when they die, they seem to fire a shot into the air and their helmet falls off. Officers hats fly off. Did they in JO? (not saying you gotta make their hats fall off, just forgot and am curious if they did or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 No, the officer's hats never flew off in JO, I don't think it's possible even in JA, although the new saber slash marks show what the new engine can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
