NPC Replacement

[Saxondale]

Hello,

 

I've recently reinstalled JO/JA and OpenJK for a bit of SW nostalgia. But almost instantly remembered how terrible the SP models were.

 

I've been trying to remember how I replaced the NPCs with various models way back when I used to play. But can't for the life of me, figure it out.

 

Primarily I'd be looking to replace Desann, Tavion and the Reborn in SP. I already have Hapslash's Stormtroopers and Imp Officers which replace their SP counterparts (I'm playing JO through the JA engine), but can't figure out how it's done.

 

For example, I've created an npc file for Desann and pointed it to the Darth Malgus model pk3, put it into an ext_data folder and saved that as a separate pk3 model.

 

My memories a little hazy, but I'm sure it's was something along those lines how I did it in 2003.

 

Anyhow... If someone can explain what I'm doing wrong, explain how to do it properly or point me in the direction of a decent tutorial, I'd be very grateful.

 

I haven't found a relevant tutorial on JKHub. I think there was one, but it doesn't appear to be available now.

 

Many thanks.

Ah..... that'll be why then.

 

Forgot to use Pakscape to create the .pk3.   Bloody amateur....

 

Told you it had been a while. Feel free to ridicule me to your heart's content

You can also use .zip files, simply rename to .pk3
