eezstreet Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks for the tips. Yes, this was created from scratch more or less using two different cloud textures, some radial blur, the JK shape, and a lot of glow.I think the JK logo itself needs redone, since it doesn't quite match what the logo should look like. I should probably play around a bit with the color/glow of that layer, and reduce the masking of the glow (so it stretches out a bit farther)
eezstreet Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 OP updated with new screenshots.I also took the liberty of adding in a blood mod. You can disable the blood mod using "com_blood 0" or enable it for either the flechette ("com_blood 256"), the repeater ("com_blood 64") or both ("com_blood 320"). I'm working on eventually getting support for the saber as well, so you can choose whether you want blood or cauterized wounds.Note that this doesn't require any sort of PK3 swapperoo to change what guns you want (it's all in a cvar!), and it properly calculates for whether or not you're hitting walls, droids, etc. All of what I said is for SP, not for MP.
Omicron Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Would it be possible to make the main menu look like the one from the Gamecube version of the game? I don't know what it was like on Xbox, but on the Gamecube version, the main menu had the most recent campaign HD cinematic that you had seen, which was being played behind all the menu's. The layout of the menus were different as well. I don't know if the PC version of the game had this, but on the Gamecube, there was a menu that showed you the bio of all the players and characters in the game, which I found quite cool.
minilogoguy18 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 He'd have to pester Raven about releasing that kind of thing, then port it to PC.
eezstreet Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 I'm aware that the gamecube had different menus. If I did that, I'd want to get the controllers working in the menus first. If you give me some screenshots of the original menus, it shouldn't be too difficult for someone to photoshop them (but I'm a bit unable to atm because I need to reinstall windows on my main PC).There's also a hidden credits screen which was cut, and I'd like to put it back in.
eezstreet Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Split screen isn't happening, sorry. The way they checked if the client is a player throughout the code is pretty retarded: if( ent->s.number == 0 )
Stoiss Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 adding split screen would need to have the coop part in it, and OJP was the ony dev team i know of who did it and never finish it to work probly, i even don't know how much work there is left for that stuff to get working fully out but i know it was bugged like hell in some of the maps
Omicron Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Here are the screenshots of the JK2 main menu from the gamecube. I don't have a capture card, or a decent camera, so I used an emulator to play JK2 on my laptop, and from there, I just took screenshots of the various menus with Print Screen Key I decided to put them all in a .zip archive, which can be downloaded below: http://d.pr/f/o4qY Note how there is a movie playing behind the menus. The clip will change, depending on where you are in the SP campaign.

Omicron Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I only have JK2 for the Gamecube, I really should get it for PC sometime...
eezstreet Posted March 28, 2013 Author Posted March 28, 2013 If the videos are the same as the Xbox version, I can likely just use the originals, since I have the Xbox version's disc mostly decompressed. The majority of the assets are inaccessible, but I do have access to the videos.
Omicron Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I would imagine that the videos would be same on all the consoles that JK2 was released for, so you probably could use the originals.
Tempust85 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I'm 'obtaining' the gamecube version. EDIT: Looks to have everything (bar videos and sounds) locked up into a .gob file. Pretty crap imo, not even the Doom 3 .gob exractor works with it...
eezstreet Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Yep. It's some kind of archive for sure, but I'm not sure how the format differs from the Doom 3 version. I'd have a go at it if Windows Explorer wasn't so screwed up for me.
