  1. Just finished Escape From Yavin IV (Lost Maps). Besides the fact that the mod must have crashes on me at around 10 points in the game, it was fun, albeit a bit repetitive. There's one problem, though (besides the crashing, duh). One really important texture is flawed or missing. The dirt texture that pops up in the air whenever you walk on a dirty surface. Instead of the small grains of dirt, I see black+white squares everywhere I walk. Anyone know what this texture is called in the assets?

      Could be mods in your base interfering with it to cause those issues. Mods like that are meant to be played pure, usually.

    3. McGroose

      McGroose

      Nonsense, Circa! I'm going to destroy this mod with the aid of OpenJK. >:P

      Or JKA Enhanced. That works too. :D

  2. Someone could totally make a Krennic model using Hapslash's imperial model. Both his Imperial and Dooku models share the same base model, so the cape shouldn't be a problem.

      Really? I'll look into it. I don't keep too updated with the JK games or the forum much anymore.

      Damn! I had no idea this existed. This pack is incredible. Thank you for the link.

  3. Do you prefer Steam or GOG?

      Why not both?

      Most definitely GOG. Easy to take games with you on a USB.

    4. Wasa

      Wasa

      Both are fine, but I kind of like gog better since it's not Valve.

  4. I think the coolest thing about JK3 Modeling is that I've seen so many custom models for this game ported for mods in other games, especially models by NeoMarz1 and Hapslash

    1. TheWhitePhoenix

      TheWhitePhoenix

      Battlefront 2 (classic) is a clear example.

    2. Wasa

      Wasa

      I think the valve games are much better as an example

      Valve HAD JA beat in moddability UNTIL the source code for JA was released. JA is much easier to mod. The drag and drop PK3 system is hard to beat as far as modularity of the game.

  5. I wish you could minimize JK2 sometimes

    1. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      There are many ways to do this since alt+tab doesn't work in Q3 games. A quick google search brings up some options.

      I remembered there being on one old JKFiles. Never tried it though! There're two others on Mr Wonko's site as well.

    3. Circa

      Circa

      or if you are just playing MP, just use JK2MV

  6. Kualan, you're timing to release your Asajj Ventress models couldn't have been better. I was just debating what I would change the butt-ass ugly Ventress models in Escape From Yavin IV with. This is absolutely perfect. :D

    1. Circa

      Circa

      "butt-ass ugly" xD

    2. Kualan

      Kualan

      What can I say, I'm psychic >:)

    3. McGroose

      McGroose

      I'll probably use your Bossk model to, since that's who the Trandoshan leader in that game apparently is (lol wtf).

  7. To anyone who ever play Half Life 2, do you think the Combine Soldiers really look alien-influenced to you? I know they're all humans and that they've gone through internal augmentation, but their armor just doesn't scream "alien" to me at all. The only exception to this IMO is the elite helmet.

    1. TheWhitePhoenix

      TheWhitePhoenix

      Seeing the experiments taking place in Combine facilities makes my skin crawl still....

    2. the_raven

      the_raven

      I think their appearance (uniform) is supposed not to look alien, since they are interracting with humans and should inspire a kind of positive (yet intimidating) image, kinda makes the aliens' rule more bearable if it's familiar-looking

    3. the_raven

      the_raven

      The gas-masks are, based on the HL wiki, for human combine soldiers stationed off-Earth, where the atmosphere is different.

  8. First time I saw the new Obi Wan vs Maul fight, I thought it was garbage. 2nd time, I understood the references and symbolism behind it, and thought it was mediocre. It was a good attempt at something different, but you don't hype someone up for shit like that.

    1. McGroose

      McGroose

      Now I just find the whole thing comical.

    2. Circa

      Circa

      Agreed, they hyped it up too much but it was decently done.

    3. Cerez

      Cerez

      Are talking about Rebels here? Because of we are... >.<'

  9. I'm convinced Rogue One was based on Dark Forces. There are so many similarities... Maybe they just realized that making Dark Forces cannon would make the rest of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games cannon by default and heavily modified the original idea. Maybe, Maybe not. Eitherway, I'm sure it'll be a good movie. :)

      Thanks man!

      I've seen this video in 2010-2011 and now I can see it again.

  11. How would I change an NPC's weapons in JK2? Modifying NPCs in JK2 is slightly different than in JKA.

    1. Circa

      Circa

      In the npc.cfg. It's the same as in JKA but in one file.

    2. McGroose

      McGroose

      I meant in terms of how one would change an NPC's weapon. I don't think just adding the line: WEAPON: WP_BLASTER works.

    3. Circa

      Circa

      Ohh right. Forgot JK2 doesn't have that line. I think weapons are scripted to NPCs then.

  12. Is it possible to rig a model to the Rockettrooper skeleton with fully working animations and jetpack? I'm having a lot of difficulty with this.

    1. Langerd

      Langerd

      What is your problem exactly?

       

      What program you use? I can help with blender.

    2. McGroose

      McGroose

      Yep I'm using blender.

      In trying to make the dark trooper phase 2 from the old dark forces mod build on jkhub onto the rocket trooper skeleton. Problem is that this skeleton is waaaaay to simplified and it barely resembles any other humanoid skeleton. I really dont know where too start

    3. Langerd

      Langerd

      You made characters in blender before?

       

      The idea is simple - You need to weight the character to the rockettrooper skeleton - bones to be more specific. Their names are different than basic _humanoid.gla

      Check in the modview how bones are called by opening rockettrooper. You can PM if you need more help!

  13. Does anyone here support the Reddit rumors behind Jar Jar Binks and him being a Sith?

    1. Circa

      Circa

      Why is this even being considered...

       

      No.

      DrXann

      Jar Jar is nothing more than a pathetic piece of comic relief. Mesa Jar Jar Binks..... Gungans Great Warriors!

  14. I reinstalled JK2 again, but I can't find the config.cfg files for MP or SP anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

    1. Boothand

      Boothand

      If you mean jk2mpconfig.cfg etc, it gets generated when starting the game.

      Do not enter MP without JK2MV by the way. There's an attacker on the loose, doing serious stuff. But the latest Jk2mv version keeps you protected, if you were gonna play MP.

    2. McGroose

      McGroose

      attacker doing what?

  15. In Mysteries of the Sith, was Kyle's lightsaber red, yellow or orange? I'm asking because whatever color it was in MOTS is the color I'll give his lightsaber in JK2, along with a modded MOTS Kyle skin.

    1. DrXann

      DrXann

      Orange after he claimed it when Yun was killed by Sariss.Later on he chnaged the color.

    2. Ramikad

      Ramikad

      It's a bit of a mystery itself. Technically, Yun's lightsaber was yellow, though in MOTS his lightsaber seems to be orange.

    3. Daedra
  16. Desann objectively has the coolest lightsaber design in any Jedi Knight game.

    1. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      As far as Sith designs in general yes. I did like Kyle's 3rd hilt (JK2) mostly because as far as function it seemed to be the best. It had grips and was long enough to be used with 2 hands. It seemed the most ergonomic.

    2. McGroose

      McGroose

      At first I disliked it because of it's rather skeletal build compared to other sabers, but I think it compliments Kyle rather well. The reasons you mentioned are also good. Wish we got more context behind the history of that saber.

  17. I still hope that, in the future, the Yuuzhan Vong and their war on the galaxy becomes canon again, or at least similar to what it once was in legends

    1. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      Unlikely, SW is overseen by people who aren't fans of SW so the story will continue to suck.

    2. Teancum

      Teancum

      Nah, leave Star Trek villains in Star Trek :P

  18. The results of the vote would have brought more negatives than benefits no matter what it would be. The UK was in a shitty state from the beginning, it seems. I honestly don't know what was the better position to vote for. Eitherway, It's obvious that the initial results of leaving the EU would be far worse than staying. In the long run, I don't know.

    1. Daedra

      Daedra

      Well take a look around you right now. Is there any "apocalypse" happening that the remain side predicted? I don't see any riots or fires anywhere, only in France where they are still under EU laws.

    2. Daedra

      Daedra

      Do you enjoy Tea and Toast? Good. If you had remained, the EU would ban Kettles and Toasters. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/10/eu-to-launch-kettle-and-toaster-crackdown-after-brexit-vote2/

  19. Someone on Battlefront hacked (I think) my PS4 tag for doing nothing but beating him in the game. What a obnoxious little fuck of a manchild. He even has a history of doing this. I feel like Battlefront is my new JK2 already. New memories being made. :D

      Jk2's MP was my favorite thing to play when I was younger.

  20. Just bought the ps4 port of jk2, my 5th copy of my favorite game ever (got the original CD release, gamecube port, best of PC port, steam and now ps4. Looking forward to seeing how they did this port.

    1. McGroose

      McGroose

      All in all, port is pretty good. It is literally the PC version, menu and all, just missing some options. My biggest gripe is the FOV, it sucks. It's got 16:9 like the PC hack you can setup, which is great, but the FOV is still stuck at 75, so you can see so little of your model or character and it makes it annoying. Rolling is also assigned to the crouch button, I don't like that. Good overall tho, even has a cheat menu!

      JK2 on PS4 did dreams came true? xD

  21. Could it be possible to fix the issues the Tavion, mercenary and saboteur models have? Some of their textures are transparent depending on whether you look at them at the front or the back.

    1. ensiform

      ensiform

      Screenshots?

    2. Ramikad

      Ramikad

      I guess he's referring to Tavion's feathers and the merc and saboteur lower jacket. The only fix to me seems to be a "cull disable" or "cull twosided" in the shader code for those specific textures.

  22. I'm still surprised that Greedo got a spot in Battlefront. I would have preferred IG-88. I always thought he was just cannon fodder.

    1. Barricade24

      Barricade24

      Battlefront really brought a lot of appreciation to the lesser characters like Nein Nunb and Dengar.

  23. Is it not possible to replace default JK3 weapons with JKG weapon models?

    1. DT.

      DT.

      The JKG weapons I've converted for Warzone had their flash tags rotated

    2. Stoiss

      Stoiss

      and they work as they should, but i have not all the weapons for JKG, i only have does i like most from the mod :)
