"It isn't hard" lol OK, you and I will have to have a long discussion one day about what makes something that "isn't that hard". 

 

So I took your advice and decided to learn how to use Blender for the first time. It seems like every single JK2 and/or JK3 guide I looked up was missing one important detail here and there or they were able to do things with Blender that I wasn't able to do, even when I followed it step for step, which was also apparent by the comments of these guides all having similar problems. I guess Blender "isn't that hard" now that I know how to work with it now, but it was a pretty good pain in my ass figuring it out for the first time. Whatever, that's all done. After what I can only say was the most annoying (mainly self-taught) learning experience I've ever had, I made some results.

 

I used the Athena model by Ruxith, cut the parts out and replaced them all with Tavion_new's head parts. The result looks quite satisfying. I tried to do the same with the Robed Jedi model, but the GLM only loaded the skeleton in Blender. This usually happened whenever I loaded a model that wasn't "simple", like models that use non-humanoid animations, have several customizable model variations, etc. I've got to figure that out at some point.

 

But eitherway, I made my first kitbash. Yay!

I really should thank you, I needed to learn how to do this sooner or later and I kept postponing it. Mostly a lack-of-time issue.

Awesome! Not bad for a first kitbash. Out of all the characters of Jedi Academy, Tavion was the one that really needed a reworked model.

I have collected many ideas for how Tavion could look like, especially in armor. Would you mind if I send you a PM to share my ideas?

@@Dart Vader, you may want to see this. Keep in mind that this is a very early version, the model is still WIP. Just relax and enjoy the fact that somebody is willing

to fulfill your request. 

Jeff? how can i contact him?

You can either tag him in the forum (for example @Lancelot) or you can send him a message.

By the way, i do have ported models. But i have zero experience porting them into JK, where can i get some help to do this?

Take a look at the link in the second post above. It's may be about "frankensteining" (mixing many models), but the technique pretty much the same.

If you still need help, ask Jeff, who is an expert in that field.

Hi there, is it allowed to take rip models and use it in this forum?

Using models from different games is okay, as long as you share them only in the forum (by using file hosting services such as MEGA or Dropbox). But you are not allowed to upload them directly to JKHub.

The animations are impressive. Also, the camera is way more cinematic than in the normal game.

@@MusicForThePiano is currently working on an overhaul of Jedi Academy. If there could be a way to add more dynamic animations and camera movements, it would add much to the game.

Did anyone ever get this working? I'd like to use the faceplate saboteur in one of my mods!

You can find it here: https://jkhub.org/files/file/3285-saboteur-faceplate/

Sorry but...who?

Like he said, it's a character created by him.

If you want to show us your drawing, upload it on Imgur and post the link to the image here.

all the music is no longer looped, every level has its own unique music

This is brilliant! I always felt that unlike Jedi Outcast, the music in Jedi Academy was mishandled. Especially the first part of Korriban suffers from a repetitive soundtrack.

I wish you all the best with this project. It has the potential to become something big.

Can someone please make Cal Kestis from Jedi Fallen Order along with his lightsaber please?

 

I know I misspelled his last name on the title of my topic.

His lightsaber has been already done. Just take a look at Plasma's lightsaber collection: https://jkhub.org/files/file/3552-lightsaber-hilt-collection/

Take a look at Maui's tutorial. It should explain everything you need to know.

https://jkhub.org/topic/10172-blender-jka-frankenstein-modelling/

I'm not sure what that is.

He means the characters from the TV show Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures.

The idea is interesting, as these characters have only been in this show. As far as I know, there are no official non-Lego appearances of them.

Are you sure this can work?

It should work. Try it and see if it does.

well it keeps saying msvcp140.dll is missing from my computer i do not have the steam version of jedi academy, i tried everything i can to fix it, 

Just install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (download only the file called vc_redist.x86.exe): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

I've noticed the Spaceballs reference in one of the screenshots. If you really want to keep it in your mod, feel free to use my lightsaber sound mod:

I’ve tried looking at all the forums and can’t figure out why I get the (0xc000007b) error I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything run as an administrator etc but cannot figure it out. Can I get some help?

Go to this page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Then click the download button, which will lead you to the next page. On that page, select the file vc_redist.x86.exe (you have to add a tick next to it), click Next and the file will download.

It should contain all the files/libraries needed to get this mod working.

please give us this junk titan <3

I guess that English is not his native language. From what I understand, it seems that he wants you to make this character by using the image as a reference.

The "No. I think its you." can be interpreted as "No, I didn't make this model. I thought you could do that."

Take this topic as an example and you'll know what I mean.

Looks good are you modeling it?

It's not his model. In fact, it was made 10 years ago by a user called Tiamet for ZbrushCentral.

Maybe Dart Vader wanted to show you this picture as a way to say "Hey, I found this picture of a Darth Krayt model, and I wanted to ask if you could make this character."

Hmm why dont finish this?

If the model would be somewhere available to download, it would be possible to modify it. But as this is just an image, there is no way to edit or "finish" it.

The only one who could do that is the creator of the model.

And here's the thing: I found this image on the ZBrushCentral forum - in a topic from 10 years ago! Since then, no more images have been posted.

I doubt that the author can be contacted easily. And who knows if he still has that model.

However, it is possible to use the image as a reference image for either a kitbash or an original model.

im sorry, what should i install in the gamedata? All of the Kotf data?

Just take the Kotf folder and put it into GameData folder.

In fact, the hasn't been active in any social network since mid-2018.

 

Every now and then I think about the possibility that someone in the community could drop dead out of nowhere and there'd be no way for us to find out. 

As macabre as it sounds, there may be some truth behind that. Not that something serious has happened to him, but I assume that he simply prefered his personal life over modding. And as a recent example in another topic shows,

it's important to choose personal life over anything.

Personally, I don't see people here as "content makers" that work 24/7 on a project. We're not talking about machines after all. Many aren't aware that actual people are behind those projects.

Whatever happened to Liam, I hope he's alive and well, facing the ups and downs we all have in our lives. And if he feels the need to return to the community, then so be it.

any news about this model?

The last reply is from almost two years ago and the creator was last online in September 2017. Don't expect any response from the creator, at least not soon.

@@DarthValeria

As I can see that you were using a custom map, and that the walking animation is not the standard one from Jedi Academy, I assume that you have at least one mod located in the base folder.

Just list all the custom pk3s that are in your base folder, no matter how unimportant you think they may be.

How can i fix this problem?

Please help me!

What have you done before the problem occured? If you have modified anything, give us a detailed explanation what you did.
