STAR WARS: Movie Duels (Remaster of Movie Duels II)

[Jaws123DRevenge]

Ok, so while everyone's out celebrating.. Here's just an end of year update from @@yeyo JK, with our skyboxes and textures. Showing off the NEW Mustafar sky, first of all:

 

 

 

Next up, we have the Tusken Camp (that Anakin goes to in Ep.II, to free his mother).. As you can see, from the first set of images (which were the original mod textures), the map looks too bright and not very authentic to the movie version, at all.

 

 

Here's the same map, with edited and improved textures to be much more accurate and immersive:

 

 

And finally, a couple of small changes to Darth Maul eyes, to try and bring out that realism in his face and capture the Sith look he had in the film (This may still need some minor tweaking):

 

And closing out with the Jedi Temple library archives.. In the original mod, the lighting was more green, where as this has been updated, to be more accurate and changed to blue:

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! We look forward to bringing you more updates and developments of the mod in 2018.

 How come you went back to Hapslashes Anakin and Obi Wan models?

[General Howard]

 How come you went back to Hapslashes Anakin and Obi Wan models?

 

We didn't.. Don't worry. These are the "original" version of the assets that yeyo has been working with, while he updates the textures. He obviously hadn't updated his files, yet. But no, we are still using all the new models you've seen in this thread, previously.

What is shit about name Movie Duels?

 

Nothing, Movie Duels II is a terrible name.

 

"Star Wars: Movie Duels" or any variation is good. 

[GPChannel]

Name: Tales of the Legends?

It is Star Wars Movie Duels 2: Remastered still can´t see your point. MB2 has also Movie Battles 2. 

[Kualan]

The name is utterly irrelevant, I don't understand why people are getting so tied up on it.

[Noodle]

The name is utterly irrelevant, I don't understand why people are getting so tied up on it.

 

People would imply more than just one person, though. Names are irrelevant, this mod could be titled 'Knights of Ren fantastic world of joy and lightsaber duels' and it wouldn't make a difference with regards of the content.

@@LucyTheAlien Name of this project Movie Duels is perfect because this mod is mainly about duels from movies. MB2 is movie battles because there are battles - gunners shooting not only duels. For me it fits really well.

I think he meant the "2" at the end, cause he might not know there was a Movie Duels 1. The original Movie Duels, before Movie Duels 2, came out around 2008 and you had to unlock all the levels, and there was no rise of the empire chapter, menu looked different, etc. http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-movie-duels/downloads Scroll down, 4th from the bottom.

Seemingly, he is the only person in this thread that's so bothered by it. We're keeping the MD2R (Movie Duels 2: Remastered) name, until we've completed the mod. That way, it's a name that everyone's familiar with (as they'll no doubt remember and have fond memories, of playing the original mod). It also helps to keep our recognition for the mod, high. We're staying true to and respecting what came before, from Wector (who's no longer available, unfortunately). We may or may not make changes to the name when we've finished, but it'll be a team decision, whatever we choose. Can we please now, put this name business to bed and focus on the content in the mod, itself.. That's far more important, than tedious name alterations.

[Mand'alor]

Yeah the name is the least thing that you should care about.

 

Anyways I am really looking forward to play this mod. Looks great so far!

With the new combat system, did u give the AI the ability to use the blocking and everything also? Like in this vid

Yes, AI knows how to block. Our sabersystem is in truth Serenity 2.0 because its dev Jace Solaris is in our team too

Thanks for making this.

 

Have a question: Is there any chance that you remove character dialogues in fights? (Because they were too annoying.)

 

I remember this mod had a bug back in the day.(when you kill younglings you may get stuck in that room.)

Hmm I don´t think we will remove dialogues. Taunts are really great addition to game itself. But I understand your point of view

Can you make the taunts better? Cause whenever I play the original MD2 the taunts always overlap each other. So Sidious will be saying like three things at once. Its really annoying.

Well, we've tried the Remastered version in the "Extras" area and seemingly, from what we can tell, this problem doesn't occur. At least I haven't come across it, anyway.

Funny enough, that sounds like a bug I encountered back when I played with KOTF 2.0. I played as Obi-Wan (EP3) and whenever I walked he said "You were the Chosen One!" multiple times. The walk-taunt glitch, I think it's called. Random, but it's nothing too big.

Talking about the dialogs. Remember when in the old Movie Duels 2 the dialog was kinda chopped into pieces during the cutscene? Will that still be the case in your remastered version?

No, we'd had a thorough discussion within the team, before Christmas and all agreed that cutscenes will have the full audio from the movies. Plenty of sources for that on YouTube, so we're not short on scenes to use. This also saves a lot of time and effort trying to acquire or find the correct soundtrack's used for those scenes, with dialogue audio cut up to fit. We'll just re-animate the models during cut-scenes to fit the audio.

Since you don't want to remove the taunts, May you add some taunts from that episode 3 game ? Hyden voiced Anakin in that game.and some of the taunts are really great.("The chancellor was right.you betrayed me." for example.)

Maybe we can do separated soundpacks with some rips from this game that could be used during specific mission! good idea

That actually isn't Hayden Christensen's voice, it's the old 2003 Clone Wars Anakin voice Actor, Mat Lucas. Same with Obi-Wan, whom is portrayed by James Arnold Taylor. (Obi-Wan's voice actor actually carried over to the newish Clone Wars animated series. Ani's however, did not.)

But they do sound close! 

[Mand'alor]

Well tbh I would prefer if you would use the lines from the movies and only the movies hence the name's mod Movie Battles and not Clone Wars Battles xd Maybe that's just me tho.

[Jaws123DRevenge]

I know Peneke has a whole collection of sounds from this game. Some are used in movie battles 2, and honestly it’s a good idea for the taunts, so there’s no movie background noise like music or other sounds that can be heard while the characters are talking in the movie.
