TIE

[dark_apprentice]

Never thought of this, but I want to request a new TIE Fighter vehicle model for JKA. The thing is, that if you want to make a change for example with the textures of the basic TIE Fighter in the game, it will change all the models of the TIE Fighters and sometimes you will want to have both the old (basic) TIE's and your own modified one. Also on the other hand the TIE doesn't seem so good at all plus the fact, that now we have much better ways to make models/vehicles for JKA and the code of both MP/SP games. I have noticed long time ago, that there is another TIE Fighter in progress from @@ChalklYne 's mod "Unleahed 1.5". I am not willing for a TFU based model,  just a new model of the TIE Fighter vehicle, that is easy to spawn and control during flight and if someone wants to make texture changes it will affect only on it and the rest of the basic TIE fighters would stay as they are. So any ideas, views and suggestions would be nice.

making a custom skin for the TIE fighter without effecting the other TIE's is absolutely possible

just make a duplicate of the TIE files with a different folder path

Well, that's what I have tried at first, when I was working on the episode 7 tie-fighter re-skin, and wanted to change it like "tie_ep7" and when i changed everything and wanted to spawn in game "npc spawn vehicle tie_ep7" nothing happened. Also i wanted to try making the Rebels TIE fighter skin, without affecting the other TIE Fighter models, but it's not quite possible with the basic vehicle of TIE Fighter, because the Rebel's tie got one "normal/basic" wing and the other is colored in the orange-yellow stylized design.

Did you try setting a custom .skin for the new TIE?

making the rebels Tie is possible aswell - jsut need to adjust the .skin file

Did tried to make custom one, but perhaps something's missing on the way, cuz when I just made the first test on the wings (with Rebel's TIE), it turns out, that both wings went at the same texture xD.

If you couldn't make a file that didn't overwrite the original then you did something wrong because it's very much possible. If nothing happened when you typed in the console to spawn your TIE fighter then the problem is more than likely in the .npc and .veh files.

@@minilogoguy18  Here is what it says, I have tried now to do it again everything from beginning on clear way, copied all the files, re-named everything and when i go to the console and type in "npc spawn vehicle tie7" it brings me up this message


Here is the new .pk3 with the TIE7 model: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j6p8eytjkk7bu9n/TIE7.pk3?dl=0

Here's how it looks like in game

Your .veh files isn't changed. It still is titled "tie-fighter" instead of "tie7". As well as the model line.

Well i have renamed them, but maybe that is not the right way to do it? Could you suggest anything else, that will change those files to "tie7" so it works?

Not in that PK3 you uploaded. In the tie7.veh file nothing was changed.

 

Change the top line that says "tie-fighter" to "tie7" and the "model tie-fighter" line to "model tie7"
