Wrong section, by the way. Most of the models found in MBII and MDII are available as separate downloads already. Especially the main characters. I made a list of the main characters and their links here, under the first section: http://darkempireofthesith.com/forum/index.php?topic=49.0

Further brainstorming: assign guns a handful of classes (pistol, rifle, shotgun, heavy, etc) so you can have preset functions, similar to NPC classes and .saber files. Or similar to what is already in weapons.dat, but with classes you can assign to new entries, in .gun files or something. But yeah, sounds crazy complicated. Nice, but maybe too much.

My hope is that Bethesda will be brought on to make a Star Wars RPG someday.

And would require a specific build of OpenJK for a specific weapon. A mod could just have the right config or .dat and be compatible with OpenJK out of the box, along with other weapons. I'm assuming this would be for SP though? Not sure how it would work with MP.

Right, but they still learn the basics of the game. Most of it afterwards is practice. If a player that learned the game through a "master-padawan" relationship or training school, they'd only get so far, and some are content with staying at that skill level. Like me. The only way to get better is to practice and learn from those that are better. And those people would mostly be the various TFFA pros and/or ex-ESL players that are still around.

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Though I go to university in southern Illinois, near St. Louis. But I'll be done in May.

I imported the base thermal detonator glm into Blender just fine. Are you using mrwonko's plugins?

Same. @@Caelum?

So everything you see in the previous model is going to be changed to match the film.

Any game is going to take time to get good at. That's why so many people try a game and never touch it again, because they don't want to take the time to get good. That's life, really. Not just video games. Sports, jobs, life skills. You get out of it what you put in. This game is over a decade old, and most of the player base now is full of people that have been playing it since it launched, or not too long after. So yeah, they're going to be pretty good. Especially compared to someone that just bought it on a Steam sale. I understand the frustration though. I've been playing JKA SP since 2005 but only started playing MP a few year ago, so I'm nowhere near as good as I could have been if I started in 2005. And I just don't have the time and desire to spend endless hours playing and learning. If you think about it, the learning curve of this game is why it's such a great Star Wars game in general. It involves learning saber techniques just like Jedi and Sith. It's why clans are so popular, they have classes and teach the game, similar to a Jedi or Sith Academy. And is why RP is so involved in that as well.

Pretty sure it just signed you up for the Lucasarts newsletter that doesn't exist anymore.

Right. Kylo Ren isn't a Sith, from what we know. He just uses the dark side and is the "master of the Knights of Ren" which we don't know what they were either. According to Rey's vision in the movie, Kylo Ren was the only one with a saber from that ensemble. Kinda off topic, but still.

More control, more ownership. More fun, for me. I'm surprised this hasn't been done. At least a nice landing page with links and basic info, until the full site is completely written. I like what you've done so far @@Xycaleth.

Load a map in MP the same way you do in SP.

Yep, most mods are in the Files section here. Let us know if you have issues finding anything. Or if there's a specific mod you're looking for that you saw.

Should just make the entire thing a video. Would make it all go smoother. Could attach the first ROQ at the end of the new video to make sure that transition is smooth as well. A new video container is something I've been wanting for years. Once that's done, I'd love to test this out.

Was just answering your question. Wasn't accusing you of anything.

I don't see the point. Just minimize and use a media player or Spotify.

How does a game all of a sudden not exist? I think you're a bit confused.

Any modding is legal as long as you don't make money from it. But using other people's work without permission is looked down upon for obvious reasons.
