**OFFICIAL** Dark Forces Mod revival topic

[Jeff]

do you think you could make a shader for it?

 

Do you have a shader with the model?

[swegmaster]

Do you have a shader with the model?

there was none included with it, the model is in the source files for df as a .max, but a rigged version was in the mots mod source files

Send me the rigged model and I'll write a shader for him.

alright, Jeff has p.m'd me his phase II dark trooper, as its now complete, i'm putting it up here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/57krigecod7po8a/Phase_2_Dark_Trooper.pk3

[swegmaster]

so, @@Jeff is working on shaders for haps vader model, and he's begun work on df jan, hes having a bit of trouble with moff rebus, as there aren't many images of him, other than the crappy sprite in-game

Let me see if I can help with an analysis of what Moff Rebus' model would be like in this photo.

 

[swegmaster]

i've changed the weapon and ammo pickup sounds to be the unused AMMO.VOC sound in the game files

[Teancum]

Thanks to @@Jeff for the Phase II. Just got it and I'll be adding it tonight.

 

@@KyleKatarn1995 -- I don't think Luke's shirt would fit well. Remember Moff Rebus is kind of fat.

 

I think this guy's body (remove the tattoos, add hair) is a great model for Moff Rebus. He's the right build, the right age, and he's wearing the right shirt. I agree with Jan's goggles, but maybe have them up in his hair, as it would probably look weird otherwise.

 

Welding goggles like this might work well. They'd fit in universe, not straight rip off Jan, and the forehead position would let us see Rebus' eyes. It's all up to @@Jeff though. I trust his judgement.

 

 

***EDIT***

 

Hmm, with Moff Rebus being a weapons designer, maybe I should put the disruptor rifle or fusion cutter in his "fortress". This is a number of years before Jedi Outcast, so we could say maybe Rebus designed the prototype?

maybe someone can make a new model of the disruptor? and have moff rebus actually defend himself with the weapon he's holding?

[swegmaster]

new and fixed hapslash vader model ,

Nah, I really love that model. If someone else wants to make an optional patch that's fine.

[swegmaster]

Jeff is actually close to finishing his df jan ors model, hes getting textures on it, as well as getting the knee brace and radio transmitter

[TheWhitePhoenix]

​Infinity Blade would've been proud, you guys. If there is an afterlife, I'm sure he's crying tears of joy seeing his work come to fruition....:')

[McGroose]

As good as Hapslash's vader looked for the time (and it really is amazing to see it in the game and not just in screenshots on his old website), don't you feel like the model feels somewhat outdated now? Toshi's Vader or even Marz' Vader would be a better choice, I think.

 

And Jeff... that Dark Trooper II...

[swegmaster]

i feel the phase II could be improved by having the special animations the hazardtrooper has, which is what Teancum used to use for the phase II

I'm not really close there's a good bit of work left I'll post some pics later tonight.

Actually I was using the rocket trooper animations, but I'll see how the hazard trooper anims look. The Phase III was gonna use the Hazard Trooper.

no wait i meant rocket trooper anims

@@Teancum, i feel this is how powerful you should make the mortar:

[Barricade24]

Would not Toshi's Vader be a better choice for the mod?

Well, we might have just found a more powerful weapon than the Death Star. Kyle, go get 'em!

 

Also, that PH-II *jaw drops*. We now have all phases of Dark Trooper, finally. Guess it's time to some more ModView Photoshopping! I have something else sometime that I'll be doing.

[swegmaster]

it might as well be, but haps darth vader is rather ancient and cool as its an actual model thats finished unlike most of the other models he was making

[KyleKatarn1995]

I would've thought that NeoMarz' Darth Vader model should be in the game's cutscenes.

[DrXann]

How on earth was the phase 2 made.Use Toshi's model or just keep VaderVM in the cutscenes.

[Teancum]

The Phase II and III were both ports. II was from Empire at War: Forces of Corruption, the Phase III was from the canceled Battlefront III
