IG-88/Lancer Droid

[Archangel35757]

I'm resurrecting my IG-88 model... I want to get this in-game with a custom skeleton (based on a CS Biped) and custom animation set... along with all of IG-88's mix of weapons. Would this need a new class? Or can it use Boba Fett's class?

[Barricade24]

YES!!!

[Archangel35757]

The mesh just needs a few finishing touches (…but I still need to make the Lancer variant bits):

[Asgarath83]

Boba Fett class is invulnerabile and unkillable, and flying. IG88 is cutie, but is not a flying droid... maybe is better hazardtrooper class (has saber resistance and can slam the player with a punch) you can give force powers also at hazardtrooper class enemy

 

otherwise you need to code a new class Enemy with hazardtrooper saber resistance and boba fett class combat attributes.

hazardtrooper saber resistance is stored on g_combat.cpp

[Archangel35757]

IG-88 has numerous weapons: poison gas, flamethrower, a retractable dagger spike, rifle, grenades, melee... I feel like I'm forgetting something.

 

...and of course the Lancer variant has its Lancer (and swoopbike).

This is really cool but honestly I think it might be easier if you keep it simple when it comes to making a new class, things like adding poison gas, retractable blades and such might be a little tough. 

[Veosar]

Yep, I love the idea, but make sure you don't set the goal too high. You might burn out eventually, if it gets too hard or if it takes too much time.

[Archangel35757]

Poison gas is the same as the nohgri weapon stick-- it will just a imminate from a tag on his body and not a weapon. Same as the flamethrower for Boba Fett except I plan to make unique EFX using FumeFX and Afterburn.

YESSS!!!

Like @@Veosar said, don't set the bar too high. It's better for this to happen with a few of those intended features rather then not happen because there was too much to finish.

This very common in modding .. have problems with this most of times ;-;

Since there is limitations as to how many weapons an npc has make him like his shadows of the empire boss version such as the blaster, pulse cannon, and flamethrower.Also apparently Boba Fett's npc wise has force powers in his configuration file.

[Archangel35757]

...and how many weapons does Boba Fett have? @@DrXann - What's the NPC limit?

[Omega]

I think just the pulse canon and a flame thrower would be a cool, try not to over stress this too much and not put too much thought into it having it end up in a cluster of issues. I can see this model of ig-88 being the best one yet as well as being a fun challenge. Just do what you know will work and take your time, I can see the result of this turning out awesome! 

[Barricade24]

I think IG-88 is most famous for his E-11, DLT-20A and his vibro blade on his back.

What would be great is if we could re-target JKA's humanoid animations to any sized skeleton, but all of my attempts have failed hard. Maybe I should look at UE4's re-targeting and see if I can use that then export back to Max...

 

If the model has moving pistons and you're not sure how to do it, let me know. I managed to get moving pistons using lookat constraints years ago for my long dead Terminator mod (HL2).

It should be possible to re-target animations from one skeleton to another (I was also going to use some of the STEF animations, as well as some from the saber droid. I think it also require setting a skin pose... not sure, but I'll cross that bridge soon.

Any updates on this guy?

[Archangel35757]

@@Barricade24,  sorry no... I've been busy traveling for work and brainstorming about how to fix the dotXSI exporters for 3dsMax.  I'm about to work on the Raven's Claw model in a few minutes.  I will have some time this weekend and I will try and make some progess on Jan Ors, Raven's Claw, and IG-88.

 

I also have to travel next week... but I can take my new laptop with me and work on the model projects in the evenings.

 

...seems like I never have enough time.  I guess I just need to win the lottery...

[Barricade24]

No worries. Just curious.

[Archangel35757]

Just a quick update on the IG Lancer variant:

Awesome stuff.
