**OFFICIAL** Dark Forces Mod revival topic

[ensiform]

DLL changes aren't supported by jasp.exe. it only loads jagame from the root directory hence no mods.

[Teancum]

Ah. That settles that then

[ensiform]

I mean you can make DLL changes, but they'd apply globally.  It's not fs_game specific as we added that support to OpenJK.

[Teancum]

So you're right about Windows-based C++ modules not being installed. Dunno why the DLL had no problem though. Anyway, I'll report back as I know more.

I found something interestingly good for you guys, here is an archive of the Dark Forces Mod website.

i think thats the same website i downloaded the df demo for jedi outcast some time ago and uploaded here

[Teancum]

So I've got OpenJK compiling now. I'm just messing around with it for the moment, but I'm glad it's finally up and running. First order of business there is getting melee up to snuff: upped damage (was random 1-3 damage points, now 8-10 point), grapple, and kicking.

finally, melee is stronger now, but could you add a first person to it as well, and make it like jedi outcast's unused melee weapon for the player (not really unused, but it can only be used by grans, unless you use cheats of course )

[ensiform]

WP_MELEE from MP exists as a weapon which is used by the NPC's too. The problem is that NPC's get special damage values and the like. At least in regular SP.

that seems rather unfair for the player don't you think  like, melee in game for the player does 1-3 damage, while enemies do way more

[KyleKatarn1995]

I found this model screenshot of Jan Ors as she was seen in Dark Forces. The only time you'll see Jan in the game is at the end of the Jabba's ship level.

 

[swegmaster]

neat

[Teancum]

In regards to first-person melee, I don't have any plans for it. Being able to not only punch, but kick and grab works much better in third-person.

Well it's not even included in give weapons cheat so it's not meant to be used.

well i mean, it was in the original game, and there is an actual first person fists model that replaces the stun baton in the dfmod, also, with the jedi outcast melee that got used in the dfmod demo for jo, its first person view was kinda like trueview in ojp and jk enhanced, where you could actually see your playermodels arms swinging like in 3rd person, but ey, whatever works for the kick and grab

[Teancum]

The first person model was never released. I get that people might want it, but it's really low on my wish list right now with eight levels to complete and other weapons to code.

ah, ok, what about the thermal det and im mines,will those get changed and have first person anims

[Teancum]

Not right away. I don't know how to animate models, but if someone makes animations for them I can code it in later. Since they work fine I'm not too worried at the moment. I just want the guns firing the correct projectiles, the stronger melee combo system (done), and more maps complete for now. Maps are coming along well, by the way.

HOLY CRAP! I FOUND HAPSLASH'S GENERAL MOHC!   https://www.mediafire.com/?52fd5fsausa58ll

 

It was hidden away in the Dark Forces source files. Trouble is he's not rigged yet. It's a 3DSMax file and some textures. Can anyone rig him?

Be sure to keep that other one from Enter The Dark Lord as a back up in case you can't rig it. But that's AWESOME, man!

That's awesome!!! Now you can finally use him in a cutscene with Darth Vader!

[TheWhitePhoenix]

*In Darth Vader's Voice* The Force has approved of you reviving this mod, @@Teancum.

[AshuraDX]

@@Teancum I can probably rig this guy for you in max - unless @@DT85 wants to do it

but that'll have to wait until I finish my clone, or am closer to finishing my clone

[minilogoguy18]

Since you said you'd help me out if I needed it I'll do this for you, just give me a bit of slack, I'm juggling a lot in my life right now.

 

It needs to be a file though I can import into Softimage since I no longer have Max, send it in like .3DS or .OBJ if possible.
