Take a look at these tutorials. RGB textures need alpha channels and saved a certain way. However in my experience I've had trouble doing this properly in modern versions of Photoshop for some reason.
 

Why not in the actual files section where people go to download and browse for mods? Like I said, that's what it's there for. I find it odd when people downright refuse to use it when it would only benefit more people being able to see and enjoy your content. Most players, old and new, go there to find mods, not buried in a thread. Your stuff is great, it deserves to be in our archive.

Why not upload it here for the rest of the world to access? That's what this place is here for.

Hi Circa,
Thank you so much, that first tutorial helped fix my issue! Funnily enough it was the one I overlooked thinking it would not help.
More to this method though after exporting I found an issue in which I was still getting some white areas showing. I found that adding small 'reference points' to the corners of the layer mask helped fix this issue as seen in the images below (make sure they are something like 1% opacity so they don't show anywhere). I believe this is due to photoshop not seeing any data in those sections and deciding to crop the data out of the PNG.... which then in turn leads to the clown faces haha
Hopefully this helps others having the same issue as I was.

Why not? It looks great and I don't think one exists from someone else yet.

AI voices still make me feel odd but this was really well done, nice work! And a great use of my map! 🙂

Hi all,
I've got some screenshots of what I've been working on for the mod. I just want to touch on one thing which is the poll. Currently there is three way tie as the votes stand so far: Option 1: 1 vote, Option 2: 1 vote, and Option 3; 1 vote. The poll is still open until the 20( just write which option you want to see implemented in the mod). If no one else votes I will extended the poll a couple of weeks just to give people more time. Anyways, with that being out of the way on to the next item.
Currently I am working on a rework of SecBase level(Operation Skyhook). I would put the mapping part about 50% complete, while the other aspects I haven't started on, such as cutscenes, scripts, ect.
Here are the screenshots as promised, Note: the level layout is NOT final and is subject to change depending on the brush count, also excuse the quality of the photos this WILL NOT look like this in game.

Here is where the new spawn point will be outside of the base. As soon as you walk out of the hanger there will be a cutscene(Not Implemented yet).

Another cutscene will play here at the monastery(yes it does look like a church).


Here is the local cantina( yes that is the cantina from the tally level). There will be a cutscene here too.
That's it for the screenshots, until next time may the force be with you.🙂

Keep this on topic, guys. Discussing other mods and games that he has no part of is silly.

I'm happy to see this looks like I got some competition. I also been working on Barons hed.... Tho i'm making 2 versions... one mostly original everything... the other updated... Also a WIP.
So far I really like what ya did.

 


The question i got for ya.... is how did you build this part?...... the angles for the pillars in the market place?
 
Mine is a bit different than yours as its close to 1 to 1 in how it was in OG game. But i'm struggling to get it built clean with brushwork. Was wondering how you tackled it. It looks built in the image but its not clean brushwork so I have to rebuild it completely.
 
hit me up on discord can VC about it if ya want.

Thanks! that's what we also thought, I guess, actually some years ago. I played Dark Forces II multiple times as a kid, and this location was probably the first i my experience to show a simple town in a Star Wars game. You would have to fight off a few mercs there, but still possible to enjoy the feel of a city, occupied by the Empire. It was fun to build.
There is no big secret, but it was probably the hardest thing to pull off in Radiant. In this regards NetRadiant works far better than the original level editor, as I used meshes and Brush triangles. The brushes were used for pillars, several triangle ones were placed together to form a wall under certain angle. The method you show either an ase or md3 model is actually a nice method! This was used for the mountains of Tatooine in JA, but we use it too for a more complex architecture, when using meshes and brushes aren't enough.
We also thought of making the city 1:1 like in Dark Forces, but it was difficult back when we started. Besides our map shows the city almost 10+ years after the events of the original game. We assumed, that the Empire is gone and the city is slowly restoring it, so the general layout is probably the same, but the materials and details look differently this time. We didn't recreate the Canal area, which you've recreated most remarkably.

I will always vote against AI voice generation, many voice actors take that quite seriously and your content could face legal issues if you go that route. They aren’t being paid for the work you are creating.
At the very least I’d be more impressed if you used the radio drama, I didn’t know that was a thing.

Updated the app.

Changed:
- added server monitor widgets
- added push notifications
- added light theme
- added applied filter indicator
- added OpenJK colours option
- made filter lists order by selected
- made dialogs with input autofocus
- fixed crash after restoration on Android
- fixed time font size in Chat on iOS
Added Widgets to monitor favourite servers without opening the app or special server monitoring sites. The idea of home screen Widgets visited me pretty much long ago but I was "scared" to add it since I've never worked with Widgets before. But here they are so I faced my "fear".
To add Widgets follow official instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT207122 for iOS and https://support.google.com/android/answer/9450271?hl=en#zippy=%2Cadd-or-resize-a-widget for Android.
To add a server for monitoring into a Widget you first have to add that server in Favourites in the JKChat app. To do so you need to filter out or search the needed server in Server List, tap on Star icon in the server card.
Once you added the server you can go to your added Widget to edit it to monitor your special server.
Android: tap on the widget and select the server to monitor from the list (Favourites). To refresh the list click Refresh button. To see players list click Players button.
iOS: long tap on the widget, tap Edit Widget, tap Choose server, and select the server to monitor from the list (Favourites). To refresh the list click Refresh button. You can use middle and large sized Widgets to monitor players list as well.
Tapping on the Widget with a server will navigate you to the app and open Server Info of that server. If you want to connect to the server or just open the app without any navigation you can select corresponding options in Settings.
Widgets UI is made by me (comparing to the app UI by my wife) so they are not that pretty. Maybe they will look better in the future.
I also properly implemented push notifications. They get triggered when you are connected to a server. Current triggers are: a player connects, you receive a private message, or a chat message contains keywords. All those things are configurable through Settings/Notifications. Tapping on a push notification will navigate you the chat.
And the last highlight feature is themes. It is experimental or just proof of concept so don't expect much please.
If you follow Apple and Google development guidelines (and I followed) then your Light and Dark themes can work out of the box. So basically I just enabled that was already available. Light theme is not adjusted to game colours so white colours can look invisible.
If you encounter any error, then please report me either in the feedback form in TestFlight or in this JKHub post or in JKHub PM or on discord PM: ent#9404.
Report the error either by copying it or taking a screenshot and showing me or just telling the steps to reproduce.
Thanks.

Technically not true, I've experimented with Telegram a bit and they have a group feature that lets you have multiple channels just like Discord (just a lot more simple). I created one out  of curiosity and as a potential backup of a backup in case anything happened to Discord.
I'm shocked that Telegram even works on XP, I wonder how long that will last. Unfortunately the JK community is already fragmented too much as it is, I would only want to promote a Telegram if Discord went away or people started to leave it for whatever reason.

Venator Star Destroyer

another Star Destroyer map im working on 










the detention area is made by Mace Madunusus from the MB2 team:

 
 

I saw he was cast but I believe the only rumor of him being Revan is simply because of the fan casting, not based on any insider info.
If he really is cast as Revan, I assume it would be a flashback since this story takes place only a few decades before The Phantom Menace. His role has been described as a cameo, so this would make the most sense, and would be a smart way of teasing a movie or series about him separate from this show.

We've updated the city – its streets, markets and of course – the cantina 🥹 
The locals got their classic looks from Dark Forces II. Not exactly the same, but the similar style is there. Also added a few more variations. Female skins coming too! 


 

 
 

damn, your story triggers such great memories for my self, as I look back and think to the time I myself started playing multiplayer in jedi academy.
the journey from being a noob to sitting down and spending several 100 hours a month training everyday for years and getting better at playing the game, to becoming a clan leader for a big server to making money from having a server, to that you start modding the game and then you sit here today and can look back and think back on the things that you yourself have experienced.
it gives some super cool flashbacks for me with this experiences i have  had for almost 20 years with the game, I've made a lot of good friends myself from it. some have gone others have stayed, I could never regret this experience without it and if i had the chance to start over i would gladly do it again. thank you for your super cool video Circa, thank you for what you do to keep this community up along with all the rest of us who still have a great love for the game and each other.

This is awesome, would be a fun and chaotic CTF map!
