I think their skeletons are different. You might want to inspect in ModView to be sure. JK2 and JKA have a completely different model for ATSTs though (the JK2 model is lol)

Hi, I realize that you are really into MB2. Currently MB2 does not work with OpenJK. I have submitted a patch to the MB2 team which fixes the mod to work perfectly with OpenJK. You should see it arrive in patch 1.02, hopefully.

While this may not be a modeling technique per se, you can use AO baking for the models textures, which produces a nice effect. A large portion of producing a good looking model involves the texturing process, so you need to keep that in mind.

NOTE: The JK2 AT-ST is different from the JKA AT-ST. In JK2, the "head" of the AT-ST can pivot independent of the legs on a specific bone. I can't remember the name of the bone, but it's apparently one which is near the waist of the player skeleton. I tried applying the ATST pivot code to the player and it sorta worked, there was just some minor animation issues.

Yeah, I'd like to get on it once rend2 comes around for SP. It's looking like it's getting pretty far in MP. @@ent also has some nice audio stuff from jaMME which I might steal. If you guys make more models though (pls remake teh guns :) ) I'd probably be more convinced to return. No bribe intended.

It'd be nice to see more variety in the weequay and rodian models. The Ackbar and Jabba models/skins need some work for sure, their textures are really especially muddy. I'm not sure, but is there an Endor skin for Luke? Or a Leia skin for Hoth/Endor? I don't remember seeing these but they might be in MB2's FA mode. I'd like to see remakes of the baseJA models personally. Like I said, I'm all for making better versions of what's there. Mini's ATST looks great and I like DT's recent remakes as well. I'm starting to think that we need a new Ep2 clone model. The head is large and the left hand tag is broken/backwards.

Between this and the hi-def Jan model, I'm tempted to come back to JK2 SP modding

I don't like the word "should." People ought to be able to make whatever they want, I reckon.

You could argue that the whole of rd-rend2 is pointless.

What's wrong with making better versions of models that already exist? Some of the ones out there are really bad looking imo (like the Wookie JK2 model) I think we could do for a new Lando model though, in my opinion.

QEffects works if you're into that sort of thing. The Pro version which I made has some large improvements to the effects so they look significantly less washed-out. There's also a setting in r_ somewhere, like PatchLOD or something which improves the quality of patches significantly so they look less blocky.

I'm talking about eyes following the character.

You can do it without breaking game compatibility. It's 100% handled on the client as far as I know, in cg_players.c/pp

It's fortunate that it isn't tied to the engine, otherwise you'd need an entirely different engine if you wanted to replace the lightsabers. Or recode the engine.

Yeah, but there's like a million lines of code that you'll have to remove/replace, both client and server. Fortunately it isn't tied to the engine at all.

Huh?

I've (more or less) retired from making JKA mods entirely (and I retired from JKG even longer than that), so I'm not really in charge of anything. I do give advice to the team when it's asked for though (like if they ask me for help, etc)

This isn't a request for JA specific tutorials or anything of the sort, it's just some about software, ie "Using the Extrude tool" or something

Hi, Modeling is often both software-specific and incredibly generic. There are hundreds of tutorials out there, so how do you know which ones to use? I'm calling upon our veterans here to find the best tutorials for modeling. These could be the most obvious, basic tutorials out there, or they could be rare gems on YouTube. Please mention if it's software specific. This should solve us the issue of telling people to "Google it" which may be perceived by some as being rude.

There is an IRC channel, it's located at irc.arloria.net / #jkhub. It is not official however.

PNG loads slower than TGA because it's compressed. The image would need to be decompressed essentially twice, and once it's compressed, it has the same size in the PK3 as a PNG does.

I think so - there's one in MBII for sure.

Hmm. An Anakin Ep3 reskin might do the job, actually
