Jedi Academy mod: Star Wars ~ Episode VII

That's what I using lol. It confused me when it started saying add a cylinder and stuff...

[therfiles]

Ah, alright. Try googling for some GMAX tutorials. I think I used this one once. It's also pretty good.

[hka1894]

Alright, I will as soon as I eat dinner lol. In the meantime, however, here are the first few scripts of the first few scenes. Let me know what you guys think and if it sounds reasonable to be done:

And about the gmax thing... I still can't the "cylinder" thing right... Like I made a cylinder with a height of 1 and 6 sides but I can't get it to change from a hexagonal shape to a rectangle shape to fit the hilt...

[eezstreet]

Rectangle shape?

[therfiles]

Is there a way to create a prism instead?

[hka1894]

I'm not sure... I'll check. This is a screenshot of what I'm having trouble doing. Going from the step in the first picture to the one in the second picture:

Nope. No prism option.

[eezstreet]

You have to rotate the said cylinder.

[hka1894]

I tried that... But I'll try it again just to see if I was being a derp about it lol

[hka1894]

Yeaaaaa I'm not getting it...

[Pande]

Yeah dude you might want to look into modelling the map then importing in said models to reduce compile time/ tris if you're doing something expensive like that. Worked for me

Definitely best option for something such as Coruscant, I'm doing that myself in fact, but I still don't recommend this as an easier alternative. I'm so glad your getting such a kick out of it though Chalk

[eezstreet]

Hint: set the mode to Rotate, and then use the gizmo to rotate the mesh..

[hka1894]

I know if I can just get this hilt designing thing down, I can at least help this out by making all of the hilts so if I can just get past this cylinder making problem down I can probably do it...

[hka1894]

OH GODDDD!!!!! THIS IS MAKING ME SO ANGRY!!!!!!!! I CAN'T GET IT TO GO FROM THIS:

I think I'm just going to give up and leave this to someone who knows what the H-E-double hockey sticks they're doing...

[eezstreet]

Seriously, just google some gmax tutorials or something. Or use a different tool. gmax is shit anyway.

Giving up at this stage is a tad bit ridiculous. Here, have a link:

...Are there any video tutorials of hilt making?...

[hka1894]

Soooo did anyone read the script for the first few scenes?

[eezstreet]

Sure, go search YouTube for modeling tutorials.

[hka1894]

Alright, well while I'm doing that, did anyone get to read the script?

[hka1894]

I found a tutorial on YouTube but the link to the MD3 Exporter which they say is like really important is a dead link sooooo

[hka1894]

So are there any skinners/mappers out there willing to help with this?

[ChalklYne]

well... id build that hilt for you, but since you have like 10 hilts you want to make.. id learn it yourself dude its sooo simple. gmax on the other hand may not be im not sure...

 

took me under 3 minutes including uv unwrapping XD  

 

thats why you need to learn it yourself. that way you start out making the hilts you need for the mod, and by the time you're done with those you'll be comfortable trying other things

 

[hka1894]

What program would you recommend other than gmax cuz that's what all the tutorials I've been through have said to use
