  1. Thanks! I'm already setting up the first Jedi Revan skin.
  2. Alright man, stay cool and take your time--patience is its own gift.
  3. Hey, everyone. I've been watching Kualan's work for a very long time and I've loved every bit of it, I wish it would never end. Well, he inspired me, and I'd like give this kind of thing a try as well... and I wanted to try this in the KotOR era. This comic series is basically the graphic image story of all that KotOR was, and it would also bring plenty more to the story, like the bigger idea behind the characters in Knights of the Old Republic, perhaps even showing how Darth Nihilus and Sion became what they were. I'd also love to introduce some new ones as well. This would also include the stories made by other KotOR modders and film makers. Why do I post this? Because I wonder if anyone else would like to volunteer for credit as well, and be a part of this development, that's all. Anyway, I'll be looking for things to work with and keeping an eye on this post, so... Yeah. I'll try not to disappoint, give me a heads-up if you feel like participating in the KotOR Trilogy's development. Thanks.
  4. Ketchup stain... Anyway, I'm sure the model will come out fine, with time...
  5. Beautiful, my good man. Just beautiful! Angel, can I use this to make a blue-skin Soul Calibur IV Vader? I could do that and just let you put it in your Vader pack if you want. If not, I understand.
  6. Wtf is Attack Squadrons?
  7. I'd rather start it from scratch than change someone else's work like I usually do. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll see what I can do, though. Stay tuned.
  8. LEKKU. THEY ARE LEKKU!!!!!!! But ya agreed.
  9. Oh, the day when porting is no longer illegal <.<...
  10. Ahem....
  11. Wow... BEST MOD EVER!!!! Now I get to stare at more pixelated female butts all day! <3
  12. I have an... idea... about an Ahsoka model... More than an idea... A development.... An experiment.... A project... An in-development experimental project... Hehehe.
  13. WHERE CAN I FIND THE JK2 HUMANOID FILE!?!?

  14. I believe the Hero of Tython used that, so agreed! Emperor's Wrath... probably all dual variants of Shii-Cho, Ataru and Juyo.
  15. BACON, PEOPLE ARE LOSING FAITH IN JEDI ACADEMY! REVIVE MAKERMOD NAO!!!!!!!!!!1111!!11!!!!!!!!1!

      I've still seen newbies to MBII coming in. I think we can still gather a few more next geners.

      Bah! You are weak. I've gone since the days of JO without ever playing an internet match.

      Ever.

      If you only knew the True Power of the Dark Side!

      I am the dark side! Bah pathetic jedi...

  16. Sigh. Okay.
  17. Hey, guys. I know something like this has been done in KotOR II and the OJP mod for JKA and I'd very much like to see something similar in the JKA Gold Pack. See, it's always been a pretty stupid idea for Luke to invent saber styles with bad setbacks in each style in my opinion, like... Blue - Great speed, low offensive and defense Yellow - Balanced but it makes me feel too unorthodox Red - What's the point of using this style if the opponent will already be moving before you can get a hit on them or you just get slashed across the chest while your arms are drawn back? Duals/Staff - Should only be accessible if other Lightsaber forms are taught. I remember Luke saying... "Here, we will train you in the ways of the Force. You will learn to defend yourself with a Lightsaber." Meh... I didn't feel too convinced. So here's my idea, I'll go down a list of lightsaber forms. Form I: Shii-Cho (The Way of the Sarlacc/The Determination Form) - Now, if I'm correct, Jaden may have had a lightsaber, but did he have any exact lightsaber skills? I suppose he had fun in his garage and somehow keeping from decapacitating himself, but I'd imagine that his style would have been deemed wild, raw and unidentifiable by the Cultist that Jaden first came across. Basically, if you know how to hold a lightsaber, you know Shii-Cho. I'd prefer if this was the beginner style that the player uses when in JKA SP, and maybe the player can have training sessions in the Jedi Temple that Luke DID promise, didn't he? Though, I'd prefer that it can be a mastered style. For instance, Kit Fisto handled Grievous quite well by using a dual-bladed variant of Shii-Cho. Though it should be kept in mind that Shii-Cho is best against multiple opponents, and Grievous had multiple sabers. Form II: Makashi (The Way of the Ysalimari/The Contention Form) - Makashi quickly replaced Shii-Cho years later since it actually focused on Lightsaber dueling, and Shii-Cho was basically as unbalanced as Luke's styles. This artful style can be clearly identified as Dooku's primary lightsaber style, so I think this mainly speaks for itself. It'd also be cool if there were was a recommendation for a curved hilt when using this Lightsaber Form, as it is essential to making this style much more useful, which I hope someone could implement in some way. Not only that, but it'd be nice if there was a dual-bladed variant for this Form. And why not a staff variant as well? One idea I had for that was Lus-ma--it was actually trained to Grievous, his MagnaGuards and Savage Opress by Dooku. Basically, Lus-ma was a staff form that wasn't so much Maul's style as it was another one that involved a lot more twirls and overwhelming concentrated tactics. It also had very precise counters and it was the answer to Soresu, Obi-Wan Kenobi's mastered style of defense. Shaak Ti also used this in the original Clone Wars cartoon, that's probably the best display of Lus-ma anyone can get. Form III: Soresu (Way of the Mynock/The Resilience Form) - Soresu was Obi-Wan's primary style of defense. This style's conceptual tactics basically involved creating an inpenetrable defense while using as little effort as possible, and its attacks were probably best used as counters. You see, Obi-Wan's attacks were not mainly that of Soresu--rather, Ataru. So yeah, I think the basic idea is easily understandable and Obi-Wan's fight scene against Anakin is probably a very good example. In addition, a staff variant should be implemented. Darth Bane, creator of the Rule of Two, had an apprentice named Darth Zannah. She didn't have enough muscle to practice Djem So, so Darth Bane trained her to use a lightsaber staff and master Soresu using it. Form IV: Ataru (Way of the Hawk-Bat/The Aggression Form) - Ataru was actually an acrobatic form, used by Yoda, Obi-Wan in TPM and used by Ahsoka Tano. I am unsure if this kind of training would involve more than teaching the player the conceptual tactics of Ataru. However, there have been known variants of Ataru displayed by Ahsoka, like a reversed-grip variant and a dual-bladed variant. I think what would help with this style is certain bonus-kata attacks, like the yellow and red leaps we already see in base JKA. Form V: Shien/Djem So (The Way of the Krayt Dragon/The Perseverance Form) - Shien was the variant of Form V best displayed by Galen Marek (Starkiller), and Djem So was the primary style of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. They're both iconic characters and some of you have no doubt already seen their displays in lightsaber combat, so yeah. In base JKA SP, it'd be fun to be able to learn one of these forms. I'd say that the Shien variant could be the best way to learn and master the reverse grip, and Djem So would be a great chance to follow the path of Anakin Skywalker in lightsaber combat. Form VI: Niman/Jar'Kai (The Way of the Rancor/The Moderation Form/The Diplomat's Form) - Niman was mainly a style that had no specific strengths, but no specific weaknesses either. It incorporated elements of many other styles and chained Force powers with its attacks. The Jar'Kai variant was also a martial dual-bladed style, that focused on a lot of creativity rather than the rote responses common to other forms. Considering this has already been done in JKA, I'd say that not too many changes would have to be made, considering a lot of it would already be done for you. However, that depends on what how much you want to do with it, if you're going to do anything with it. Also, a staff variant should be added with this Niman style, considering Maul displayed such a variant in TPM. Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad (The Way of the Vornskr/The Ferocity Form) - Juyo was basically Darth Maul's primary single- and double-bladed style. You'll note that this style was extremely vicious, not requiring any fancy lightsaber twirls in nearly every move. It also had a dual-bladed variant, as displayed by Darth Sidious against Darth Maul and Savage Opress. In addition to Form VII, Mace Windu created his own Vaapad variant, though it was more than a swordplay form--it was a state of mind, but it was said to be extremely fast in lightsaber combat, and it was shown in ROTS. So yeah... I hope you get the idea.
  18. I love what's going on, but I'd much rather have an option to construct your own lightsaber, with separate components for one to choose from.
  19. It'd be cool if we at least had a TFU Maul head replacement for some of the existing models--like Death Watch Maul...
  20. That couldn't be truer.
  21. I've tried too... So hard. Negru, lemme know how it goes. Aight? <3
  22. Please do this! Michael Jackson is my number one!
