  1. StarWars: DarkForces

    StarWars JediKnight: DarkForces 2,

    StarWars JediKnight: Mysteries of the Sith.

    StarWars JediKnight 2: Jedi Outcast

     

    These were all about Kyle Katarn. Jedi Academy took a brave leap away from the main character of the series, and I hated that.

    The story is poor and doesn't really add anything to the series, bringing Luke to the series as Kyles best friend was also a bad idea.

     

    IT'S  ALSO A BAD IDEA TO SPEAK ABOUT JK4 SINCE WE DONT EVEN HAVE A JK3 - THE OFFICIAL TITLE IS NOT JK3 AND IT SHOULD NOT BE CALLED JK3 ANYWHERE.

    MAIN REASON FOR THIS CONFUSION IS THE WEBSITE jk3files.com - WHICH WAS THE MOST VISITED PAGE FOR DOWNLOADING MAPS AND SKINS FOR JEDI ACADEMY.

     

    If there would ever be a new instalment to the series, I'd expect it be about Kyle Katarn. Jedi Academy was released over 10 years ago.

    Development of games based on the Star Wars license will now be performed by Electronic Arts - and they are sooo main stream slaves.

    Have you yet watched more than those 3 first episodes? In Rebels, were introduced a Sith Inquisitor - also rumoured to be part of the upcoming trilogy,

    and both series are produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation. Rebels is set five years before Episode IV: New Hope - why isn't that important to you?

     

    About the latest Episode;

     

    The only thing that seemed important was Sabine's suspicions about their informant, named "Fulcrum". 

    It was nicely covered by making her look like she simply had no faith in her team or the rebellion.

     

    We may never know the identity of Fulcrum, but Im guessing he's a Clone veteran or Bail Organa.

     

     

     

    By the way @@Onysfx you were right -that's a republic gunship, this may well be connected to Fulcrum,  since

    their informant should be the only one who knows about that place. Ofcourse that can be; just an old wreck.

  3. I think that rumour was confirmed.  Carrie Fisher's daughter will star in the film as the young Leia Organa. Most likely as a hologram.

     

    By the way, what do you think about Leia learning how to use the Force? I'd like to see her use the force even in an emotional state

    say, if Hans Solo was trapped, if he was caught underneath a collapsing cave- she could move a large rock to free him. For example.

    Let us for a minute, accept the rumour, that Luke has to be calmed down because he's loosing his mind, could Leia have a role in this??

     

    Until we see the film, or anything that truly reveals the plot, we can only speculate, @NumberWan.  Nothing is obvious.. as an example;

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ....what is Sidious never died?

  4. TUTORIAL ON HOW TO RETEXTURE A MODEL

     

    Retexturing a model is very useful sometimes, for example if you have a statue, and want it better fit your map.

    I wanted to make a quick tutorial on how to make a statue look as if it was carved into the brush itself ( a wall ).

     

    gtkremap_error2.jpg

     

    To do this, you will first need to create a brush and carve a hole for your model,  using the Clipper.

    Select the model and hit the N button on your keyboard. This will open a window called " Entities "

     

    In there you will see: key and value.  Both already have something written in, clear the boxes and write:

     

    key: _remap                
    value: *;[texture]    

     

    FOR EXAMPLE
    key: _remap
    value: *;textures/factory/basic1  

     

     

    See image below

  5. Or maybe Palpatine was the father all along.

    Who knows... though the prequels did reveal that Sidious had his eyes on Anakin already during the Geonosis conflict..

     

    The fact that Lucas even started to work on the prequels to show how Anakin became this dark and feared character standing on the Emperors right side,

    - and the fact that Lucas added a line for Palpatine in the latest film ROTS, telling Anakin the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise - how one could create life,

    makes me think that Lucas had to create a prequel, to sort of , lay the foundation for finishing up the story he started back in 1977  = how it all ends.

  6. Very interesting, be it just rumours and conclusions, or not,  some of that makes sense.  By now Luke should have reached a much higher level.

    He is the son of Anakin who, to this day, is said to have born from the force itself. Ani became very powerful and his fate should frighten Luke.

     

    Even the Emperor saw Luke as a threat when Luke had just began his journey as a Jedi. Sidious even concidered him to be a powerful asset.

    I still think the Galaxy will be as if most people have forgotten of the past (and history) due to the overall disarray in Galactic affairs, be it technology, culture, trade and other.

     

    This is only 30 years after the Emperor was killed, in a world where some species live up to 180 years old, it's hard to think they would've forgotten so much,

    I mean, it's not like Tatooine is the center of the galaxy of a sudden; there are still  planets like Coruscant, where the Jedi archives were probably not entirely destroyed

    and ofcourse there are many other civilized planets with education system for billions of inhabitants. Obi-Wan learned about Kamino from a fat old restaurant keeper.

     

     

    I like the rusty, industrial look of the OT, but I'd say that the galaxy is doing well.  Sure they would miss the time before the empire, when the Jedi kept all safe,

    but as some of the released concept art reveals, the Empire is in ruins, not the Galaxy. We've been shown a wrecked AT-AT walker in the middle of a desert.

    But we have nothing that would indicate the newly formed republic being torn apart, or that any planets would be in disarray. Looking at the digitally remeastered

    versions of the Original Trilogy, we can briefly see Corucant and Bespin, both still being wonderful and huge metropolis.  Why would've that disarrayed in 30 years?

  8. " The Force Awakens " sounds to me a lot like " The Phantom Menace "  and the fact that the title speaks of the force itself, further adds to the rumour that

    this trilogy will end Lucas' fantastic space opera and that throughout the new trilogy, there will be major revelations about the prophecy and the sith.

    I doubt there'll be more that 9 episodes of Star Wars, which is why I choose to belive the rumour about Plagueis being the main villain in the new trilogy.

     

     

    EDIT: that image must be a troll, the font is weird and it looks like a joke by Steven Spielberg.

  9. There are tons of games out there in which modders modified maps (and map objects) to make them look more modern.

    For Half-Life 2, there is a mod called Cinematic Mod. The developer(s) gave the maps a big makeover.

     

     

    It looks that editing these maps is actually very possible, but will I be able to overwrite them in their folders so that the changes can be seen in SP ? - Not sure.

    I'll post the results here during the weekend... maybe we'll have this as a project to follow at moddb.com
