With that polycount, it'll actually fit in JA just fine.

Is OpenJK working on improving max polycounts and stuff, or is that not planned?

Turns out it can export .obj, but you need a plugin in order to do so.

Not sure, honestly. I'm not particularly proficient in Maya, but I have a friend who is. However, he isn't really familiar with modding for these games. I can check, but the interface confuses me a little.

Or really any filetype usable in Radiant.

...there's (supposedly) a difference between how the sabers work in 1.0 to 1.01?

Can we not have any more of these? Can we just, like, make a sticky that says, "The Lord Starkiller model is ported and we don't host it, but here's the one we do have."?

Yes, I want to realize it, I would be not not prevented by the help. Or aiming =)

I'm sorry. Most of the time I know what you mean, but I have no idea what you're getting at here.

Would it be possible to use an image in the square of the hud via script, like the ACTUAL KOTORII hud?

Most likely, given how MP displays the current leader's icon. You'd just have to figure out how it's doing that, then adapt it to show only your icon.

I have never seen porting discussions as intense and as heated as the ones here.

Granted, I'm against porting pretty much entirely, though I do agree with the current policy for what mods we allow.

Now, this movie doesn't affect us in any way at all. And while it's a good idea, I think they would greatly benefit from a little, shall we say, production value. Basically, the ported models and textures are the absolute low end of assets they could be using. Making things from scratch would take longer, but A: It's legal, and B: It would look infinitely better.

Sometimes I feel like the modelers around here have gotten too used to seeing 2003 levels of detail. Then sometimes they prove me wrong.

Pretty much a gametype like that in this video. It might just be possible, with the way JKA records demo's and what not. Thought it would be cool xD.

Wait, so demos are recorded by saving a log of everything on the server then rendering it in real time on playback? I didn't know that.

Now that the source code is out, I can see this being used in some interesting ways in MP. A gametype like this would be pretty freaking cool, and possibly even doable, except for the "unlinked" bit. If it's only players' recorded actions, it'd be impossible, or at least really freaking hard. The only way I can see that working would be to give the "playbacks" NPC AI if certain conditions are met.

JK ragdolls do suck. But it's up to somebody who knows coding to fix that, and it'll probably never end up happening. It'd have to be done in OpenJK, and I don't know if there was a licensed physics engine involved or not. Given the general lack of proper physics, I doubt it, but if there is, than that makes things more complicated.

I agree... The scales going to 100 should be the same length-- after all 100 is 100.

I prefer it the way it is in the screenshot. If it was all the same length, it would look boring. As it is, it's simplistic, but still good-looking.

There's also that Selkath model from the JKB project. That was made from scratch and is therefore completely legal.

All you really need is a new death animation, or at least a different one that makes more sense in the context of being suspended several feet in the air. I don't remember all of JA's death animations, so none specifically come to mind, but there's probably one that works.

I would honestly love to see this done. As much a I dislike TOR, it has some pretty cool character designs.

Or at least the super high-quality rendered commercials did.

I wasn't saying that I'd cut all the mission tiers entirely. Just the ones that make no sense in the larger context of the story. For example, t2_trip could involve actually meeting the contact, or maybe his death leads to the next mission somehow. I don't have time to make a pitch document at the moment, what with the holidays and having to re-install everything after a non-consensual HD format, but I'll get to it once I've figured out how everything fits together.

I'm just spitballing at the moment, so please hear me out: Basically the idea is to take JA's existing missions, cutscenes and whatnot, and cut it together in such a way that makes the plot coherent. As I'm sure we're all aware, the plot of JA is sort of lost in the idea of being able to choose your own missions. Certain missions, like dpred, are fun, but ultimately completely pointless in the overall story. I know I haven't explained myself very well, but it's late and I'm tired. If there's interest, I'll come up with a more formal pitch detailing exactly what I want to do.

Having just seen the episodes of Battlestar Galactica with him in it, I feel like your model is just... too gaunt. Like, the bones in his face are all too prominent.

Yeah...I had a similar issue.  I just reinstalled with this: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1705-gtk-radiant-164/

 

One issue I had was trying to install radiant in program files which is restricted and caused a lot of issues, if I left installed on the desktop for example it was fine.

I'll give this a try after my computer is finished being repaired.

Sometime in like, two weeks from now...

Then you might as well reskin any other model from the game almost. Most of them have that very same body.

While this is true (prisoner, jedi, jedi2, possibly even Kyle, except for that collar, Luke...), it's also the ideal body for Lobot. Considering his cyborg stuff, though, I'd use prisoner or jedi as a base, because they look nearly bald already.

I just said Bespin Cop because Bespin.

I may take a stab at it if I ever get Radiant working on my PC again.

Reskin Bespin Cop and remodel the head.

Okay, I think I've identified the problem in radiant.log.

That's what I get as a whole, and I think I know which part is the problem.

It could also have something to do with this line, but I'm not sure.

OpenGL not ready - postpone texture compression capability check
OpenGL not ready - postpone ATI bug workaround setup

Regardless of which one of these, if any, is the issue, however, I have no idea how to fix it.
