VERY nice!

If you're replacing the skeleton with new bones, why not just overwrite melee anims? A whip wouldn't function like a saber really.

Why Lucas did that I dunno. :/

 

I'll do a reskin of the saber, it will prolly be a bridge between the two versions but I'm going for an ESB look over EP3.

There is a ESB hilt that I included in both of my Luke skins. It's a really good one. It's not 100% accurate to it but it's pretty close!

I know, but for canon reasons, it's the same hilt.

It's slanted because I was using Hapslash's model for reference, but you're right the actual refs aren't slanted.

But I'm not making a working gun tho.

It does slant in the movie though, some. Cool, it's hard to tell from the angle you posted. I wasn't expecting it to work.

 

I wouldn't use an Ep3 Anakin saber, not for accuracy's sake.

It's the same hilt...

Looks so good! What gun is in the holster?

I'll just let more informed individuals take this one, regarding porting.

So if i make models and such for others to use, i can host them here? I know places like HaloMaps allow you to host things like custom UI, maps, models, textures, etc. but i'm not sure about JKHub..

Wait, are you serious?

 

Do you know the main purpose of this site? Those links on the right side of the homepage aren't just there to ignore.

You should explore the site a little more.

That looks a little better. Good work!

 

You should include the Dagobah version. Wasn't that in Haps' pack? I forget what that one looks like though. It might need to be edited to match the skin tone.

 

Also, one of my favorite skins is this one:

Not to impose these requests, just a thought.

Not a big fan of the hair parted in the middle. None of those pics show that. It should be straight down but messy, with locks of hair going different ways. It could still be messier as well. Just look at the pic I posted above in the spoiler and mini's pick with Yoda.

Eh, I used to use 3ds max, it's terrible when it comes to performance, it just can't handle high poly scenes well. The interface may be more attractive to some but I think it's just the pretty colors and shapes, I don't like icons that I have to hover a mouse over to know what they do, plain english text is much easier. These days a software that can handle models that are in the 1 million range with a good render to spit out AO, normal and cavity maps is a must and the free Mod Tool version can do that.

 

I use Softimage 2013 which I have a full license to but for everything JA I use Mod Tool since I can share stuff with others who are using it, I'll never go back to 3ds max.

I find it interesting that you prefer text instead of icons. I personally like icons better, as text can confuse and intimidate me in a new program. Icons are more friendly to me.

 

This is coming from a software standpoint, not just Max vs Mod Tool. I've never used Max.

When it comes to skinning, I suck. So I'm sorry if this isn't what you were wanting but I tried my best. It's obviously not done yet, but you can get the overall picture of where I'm headed with it. I need to do the jacket/vest thing, which will be the hardest.



Would anyone be willing to either start from scratch or at least make the vest part? It will look really bad if I do it, trust me.

And pointless.

Yeah he did, it's one of my favorites too.

I completely forgot about that model. I need to redownload that.

Better. Now it could use a reskin to make the hair more messy like in the pics. That would make it perfect.

 

Also, is it just me or does his face look wider? His chin and jaw are a lot slimmer in ESB than in ROTJ.

I didn't even catch that. I thought you said 128 before.

 

Sometimes it still doesn't work and you have to convert it a couple times before it actually works. Ticks me off.

Pretty much. It should be more messy and tousled, rather than neat. Like the ref pics we posted. Most of the work will be in the skinning portion I'd say.

*edited the link to Haps' model pic in my previous post - it had disappeared

This drives me crazy as well. What program are you using to convert?

@wonko, due to not answering stuff anymore on map-forge.net i decided to state this questions on jkhub - considered to be a more active community.

@Darth Martyr might know. He's done something similar.

Not sure. @eezstreet can help with that.

I've only seen that with what Chalk said, or when using a JO model. If it's a JO model, you need the JO skeleton, as they are not the same.

Welcome to the Hub! Glad to see you return to a game we all love.

 

I'm not familiar with RP stuff so I don't know about that. I'm sure others would love to help you out with that though.

How does this mod vary from Mug's base customization?

That only worked with the models that were all the same but with different skins. This can be done with any model. Like Kyle's head on the jedi_hm body as seen above.

IMO the toshi head doesn't work that great since it's based on his image from RotJ where Mark Hamill has noticeably aged since ESB.

I think he's planning on changing it to accommodate this difference. It looks like he kinda has started already in that pic if you look closely at the shape of the head. I could be wrong though.

 

Here's some refs:

 

 

 

 

Oh and here's Hapslash's actual model he was working on of it:

 

 

For reference and curiosity only. Not to compare to yours at all.

JA+ and Movie Battle are the latest in my memory. I have not had this game installed since 2005, when it started dying, so it is nice to see those two doing well. I doubt I'll go back to moviebattle since people only played DOTF map. It was rather boring, even though i COULD teamkill for laughs.

 

Thank you for the patch, as well as the all seeing browser. I shall install them both and see if my luck will improve.

 

P.S. isn't the hookshot /bind key +button12 i tried this on one server but it did not work. Perhaps it did not have JA+.

2005, eh? That was quite some time ago. JA has been quite alive since you left, despite the highs and lows. That must have been one of the first lows. There have been many.

 

That command for the grapple should work. The server should tell you what mod it has installed when you join the match.
