AshuraDX

finally V1 of my clonemodel is released!
 
clicking the download button will reveal 3 files:
 
ashuras_clones.zip - the best looking version of the model - requires OpenJK to be used in Singleplayer, if you don't use OpenJK your game will crash.
ashuras_clones_lowres.zip - a less detailed, lower poly version of the model with half size textures that works in base JKA Singleplayer
ashuras_clone_resources.zip - interesting for those who want to create new skins from scratch, it holds my baked maps - a tutorial on how to utilise them will come soon
 
 
recommended additional mods:

OpenJK (latest Build)

A collection of model files pointing to the various cinematic GLA files.
These allow you to view the games Cutscene Animations in modview.

This is something that I've been working on since like 2017. But I finally got around to rebuilding this thing for the third time - this time properly and with all bones for Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast and even Soldier of Fortune 2.
Most of you are probably like "What the Hell is this?", so let me explain:
What is CAT and what can I do with it?
CAT Is a very versatile Rigging and Animation System for 3ds Max. It allows you to quickly and comfortably make high quality Animations, after setting up a Rig that is equally quick to build. This Video (and this Channel in General) explain what CAT is and what it can do really well:
This rig comes in a 3ds max scene with the original Jedi Knight Game bones constrained to it. This means that when you move any part of the rig, the bones of the character move accordingly. It is also organized in layers and comes with a couple of useful premade selection sets to streamline animating and exporting your animations to the game.
How do I use it?
To export animations and get them ingame you will need the Jedi Academy SDK Repack and the dotXSI Exporter for your version of 3ds max. (I linked the exporter for 3ds max 2021 underneath - check the authors other uploads for alternate versions)
When CAN I use it?
The file has already been uploaded and approved here on JKHub and I hope to get a tutorial written up and recorded until next weekend. WC3Tutorial from the JKCommunity Discord, who has been Alpha-Testing the initial Version of the Rig heavily, might beat me to recording a tutorial - if that happens I'll link it here. I'd be happy to hear any questions you might have upfront that might help make the tutorial better and easier to understand.
If you fancy messing around with this rig before the tutorial is up - don't be shy to reach out to WC3Tutorial or me on the JK Community Discord #modding channel.

Allright people this is the release of my first(!) Saberbuilder Kit for those who didnt see my thread at filefront forums here'S a short introduction to what it does and how to use it :My saberbuilder allows you to build your own lightsaber hilt from premade parts, save it and then use it in Jedi Academy .There are 331776 possible combinations !

-7zip needs to be installed if you want my tool to make a pk3 for you
 
CONTENTS :

HOW TO USE IT :
at first download and install 7zip , it's used by my saberbuilder to make a PK3 , once you got it installed put the contents of this . zip archive in your JKA base folder then you should find a folder called utillity in your basefolder open the folder and run saberbuilder.exe , select your saber parts now and give your hilt a name , you may not use spaces ! once you got that done feel free to alter the Blade length and a default sabercolor in SP .

- use 8 sides for cylindric parts of your saber hilt not more not less
-the saber parts MUST fit the template , you may have 4 main parts named Emitter,Body,Handle and Pommel
buttons can be placed on your Body and handle parts
-if you make multiple saber parts UV map them to one UV map

Recreation of Jetstream "Minuano" Sam's High Frequency Blade from Metal Gear Rising
 
"A notorious blade passed down through generations of the Rodrigues family. Sam had it modified
into a high-frequency blade, enhancing the already astonishing properties of the original metal
and giving it an ominous crimson glow. An explosive charge housed in the scabbard enables a
lightning-quick draw."( Source: Metal Gear Rising - Revengeance)
 
The sword comes in 3 versions :
 
Murasama :
Adjusted saber length to match that of the models blade, shorter reach than default
Jedi Academy sabers
 
Single Player cheat code : saber Murasama_MP1
 
Murasama (Base JA Length) :
the same as above with a saber lenth of 40, granting you slightly longer reach than
the physical blade would suggest - this makes it the exact same as a base Jedi
Academy saber.
 
Single Player cheat code : saber Murasama_MP2
 
Murasama (3x dmg) :
Not available in the Multiplayer saber menu, only acquireable via the cheatcode in
Single Player.
 
Single Player cheat code : saber Murasama
 
IMPORTANT! :
(1): before you attempt to use any of these cheatcodes, make sure that cheats are enabled,
to enable cheats enter : "helpusobi 1" OR "devmap all"
 
(2): For those who have OpenJK with the rend2 beta installed, I've included rend2 materials
 
 
Have fun with it !

A small calculator to help determine the max amount of vertices for your playermodel before you start seeing the famous "ran out of transform space" error.
Choose the game executable you are using to check against their transform spaces or enter the transform space for your custom game executable if you are running a mod that changes this value.
The calculation works as follows:
'max verts' = ('transform space' - 4 * ('playermodel surface count' + 'weapon surface count')) / 20) - 'weapon vertex count'
Included is the raw *.py python script, aswell as a packed *.exe for those that prefer simplicity and ease of use.
If anybody wants to modify this script to work in blender go ahead ?

I know a lot of people use set g_knockback to increase the power of their force push but what allways pissed me of at that code was that it effected kicks and weapons too.
 
Now this has come to an end !
 
I wrote a small program that allows you to change the power of your force push without effecting other things but sadly it doesnt overwrite JA's original force push so you have to use a cheatcode or my small program to bind the "new" force push to a button
 
How to use :
start the program and click the "how to" Button it'll give you all further information you need

Hey everybody , here's something that many of you will love !
 
The Mandalorian Neo Crusader !
 
I think the only other models I've seen being requested more than this have been Starkiller and the Sith Stalker anyway , as usual for my work , this boy comes with a whole bunch of extras
 
FEATURES :
4 skin Variations
default (light blue)
red and blue teamskins
Gold skin
NPC support
to spawn these in singleplayer enter cheatmode by typing "helpusobi 1" in the console then type "npc spawn x" instead of x use either :
NeoCrusader ~ Default Neo Crusader
NeoCrusader_red ~ Red Neo Crusader
NeoCrusader_blue ~ Blue Neo Crusader
NeoCrusader_gold ~ Gold Neo Crusader
Bot Support
just look up "NeoCrusader" in the botslist in MP

Decided it was about time to finish this beast, after letting you wait 4 long months, comes with a Han Solo NPC
Have fun admiring this beautiful gun !
 
BUGS : Positioning might be off on some character models

(required for the NPC)

A simple female basemesh I made to build Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast models around
Feel free to use it, but if you do please mention me in your models read me, happy modeling!
 

Since I grew tired of the frequent False advertising I did with my fancy renders, but still wanted to be able to make nice presentation pics of my sabers for JKA i was looking for a way to do just that. And after a discussion with Rooxon about making an invisible playermodel for said purpose an Idea was born:
 
I present you a simple turntable character, it uses custom animations in conjunction with saber stances to display your weapons at different angles and makes them spin around.
 
I included a Turntable.sbsar file which is basically a parametric material that allows you to create your own texture variations via a few sliders and input texture maps
to use it you must install substance Player, which you can get for free here: https://www.allegorithmic.com/download/download_free/6
 
I also included a max scene that only requires you to replace and weight a model to the bones, then export as root.xsi and compile like a playermodel using my new gla instead of _humanoid.gla
 
spawn/playermodel code is simply turntable
 
"playermodel turntable"
 
will trasnform your character into this table and display your currently equipped weapon
 
BUGS : none that I'm aware of

just a old Hilt model I made about a year ago and just found in my old file backups
decided to pack it up and release it , hope you like it c ya guys

I felt like making a new saberhilt , been a while sicne I made the last one o.o , and this is what I came up with :
the "Dragon Lord" twin-blade saberhilt !
this was something I had in mind for a long time
I allways wanted to make a great looking saberhilt with a dragonhead-shaped emitter
and I allways wanted to remakeo ne of my first saberhilts , the twinblade hilt
for this particular hilt I ended up combining both ideas so I hope you like it and have fun ;D

Well, I made a thing. A pretty Thing.
This my rendition of Kyle Katarns Signature blaster, based at it's appeareance in the live action-cutscenes from Dark Forces 2.
I originally made this for the DF2 mod which will feature a PBR version of this model but decided to release a version for the base game
aswell.
 
This weapon works in both games JKA and JK2 and comes with an optional .pk3 to swap the blaster pistol model in JKA for the bryar model.
all preview images are ingame screenshots!

Emperor Doviculus from Brütal Legend , a game I can really recommend
Doviculus is the leader of the Sado-Masochistic Demons the so called Tainted Coil Brütal Legend
 
As usual I've added everything a playermodel needs :
-Teamskins
-npc support
-bot support
-Sounds (recorded from Brütal Legend)
-A fitting weapon , his Double-Staff-Axe from the game
 
I think I've said everything required , have fun !

A character I wanted to model for a while, but kept putting off because I had no clue how to make his mask, his "face", work as it's supposed to. When I found a way to do it I just had to jump right into modeling!
 
For those who do not know Rorschach:
 
"Rorschach (born Walter Joseph Kovacs) is a fictional character and an antihero of the acclaimed 1986 graphic novel miniseries Watchmen, published by DC Comics.
 
While the series has an ensemble cast, some consider Rorschach to be the protagonist as he drives most of the plot forward.[1][2][3] In the beginning of the story, he is introduced as the only remaining active masked vigilante not employed by the government. A ruthless crime-fighter, his beliefs in moral absolutism—good and evil with no shades of grey—have driven him to seek to punish evil at all costs. Rorschach's mask displays a constantly morphing inkblot based on the ambiguous designs used in Rorschach inkblot tests, with the mask's black and white coloring consistent with Rorschach's sense and view of morality." [sourced from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_(comics)]
 
I hope I can update this initial release with sounds and somewhat better weighting in the future but for now, here's Rorschach - now go and put down some dogs!

BUGS :none

*Note*
The Screenshots for this File are left unedited, everything you see is rendered that way ingame using my custom QEffects preset.
 
3d view:

I just had to make a matching blaster for my clone model, so here it is!
comes complete with new effects, sounds, UI graphics and a new descrition text.
 
If you're not using OpenJK it will most likely crash when used with my clone model in Singleplayer, this was not tested though

This are 2 wooden lightsabers named Oeavvaor and Kybuck. These lightsabers have been designed with the following goal:
They shall fit a Wookiee Jedi.
 
and that's basically the story behind them
 
I want to note that the shape design is not mine so credit to whoever designed the shape of this lightsaber

most of the weapons altair used in Assassins Creed
 
started (and stopped) working at this summer 2010
 
this pack includes 6 weapons :
throwing knives - replacement for the blasterpistol menu icon and info texts have been changed aswell all default languages supported
Altair's hiddenblade - saberhilt , bolted to wrist deals a ton of damage but has a very limited range
Altair's Shortsword - saberhilt ,because of it's short range the damage has been set up
Altair's Shortsword 2 - saberhilt , backhand version of the above weapon
Al Mualims sword - saberhilt, the first sword you get in Assassins creed 1
Altair's Sword -saberhilt, the second sword you get in Assassins creed 1

 
all of these weapons got blood splatter effects , which I adopted from antother author I forgot who made this blood effects so I'm sorry for nto being able to give "perfect" credit =/

This includes an optional overwrite for the normal Rancor NPC
 
this is basically an modification of the base JKA textures to make them look like a rancor from felucia , based on SW the force unleashed >_>
*this file includes a normal and a glowy npc*
 
spawn codes :
npc spawn feluciarancor
npc spawn feluciarancor_glow

many of you have allready downloaded V1 of my galen Marek(aka Starkiller) lightsaber hilt and now here's V2 !!!!!!!!!
 
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS FOR V2 :
-I've added the Sith Stalker lightsaber hilt
-a regular sinle saber version of Galens lightsaber was added
-File size has been reduced by converting the TGA textures to JPEG/PNG files
-all included lightsabers have single player support now !!! (SP support is in a seeperate PK3 cause people who use a SP TC ,like KOTF (bad example), will have trouble with the SP support)

Heyya guys here's V2 of my Minecraft model
this time with official minecraft textures as we , DVG94 and me , finally got the permission to use Mojangs textures for our mod
"The Creatures Game".
 
I've added and fixed a lot of stuff for v2 ,
so here's a compelte list of all Changes/Additions :
-Official Minecraft textures included
-added Armor and Cape meshes
-improoved weighting
-new teamskins
-3 npc's
MCSteve -default skin
MCSteve_Armor -blue skin
MCHerobrine -red skin (herobrine+cape)
 
After installing the mod by dropping the PK3 in your basefolder
I'd recommend to open up the cheat console and type
"r_textureMode GL_NEAREST"
 
I might have forgotten something but I think that's it

I finally finished my skiff vehicle for Academy to spawn it open the cheat console , activate cheats and type :
 
"npc spawn vehicle skiff"
 
Please notice that using the skiff_anims.pk3 file will make swoops and other vehicles that use the swoop animation ridiculous while only this skiff profits from the aniamtion replacement - this makes it also incompatible with any other animation mods
 
Have fun !
