  1. I've been looking for a few things from old JO/JA files as well. And unfortunately they aren't in the net, but I got some rare PK3s from CD/DVDs from video games magazines. Those included demos, maps, weapons, skins and other things. But finding a disc is a more difficult thing to do these days, even though not impossible, as some fans made copies of old magazines and DVD content. I I even thought of uploading a few of those to JKHUB, even though the content isn't very good for the most part.
  2. I think, I saw one here in the forum, but I can be wrong. Not the Senate Commandos from TCW, but the guards like in the picture above. The right thing to do is to start looking in this topic by Jeff – it includes a variety of very different and quite often unexpected models from Star Wars films, as well as books, cartoons and other games.
  3. I'm glad, that the new builds remove certain limitations in game. Previously I had problem with a number of NPCs and a number of skins loaded per map in SP, and at a certain point together with this issue, the game would report "max_gamestate_chars exceeded" – a problem which isn't that often on complex maps, if a new build is installed.

    Tie Shuttle

    I always wondered about this ship in the film, somehow it looked not like a TIE bomber, yet I couldn't link it to the scene, that followed the space sequence. There is a channel by EC Henry about barely seen models in Star Wars films, which also introduces the TIE shuttle as well. You can watch it here. Perhaps this channel could serve as inspiration for new ships in the future.
  5. The model has a nice mysterious look as if from some Legends or Myths, yet fits into Star Wars perfectly too! If not for the most likely pre-existing background, I would assume, this is some sort of a Sith scout/apprentice, who acts as a true shadow. Maybe from the days of the Old Republic.

    We actually completed this part of the city, as well as the area around the Palace – not as large as in DF2, as it includes some portion of it. Due to various limitations of JA engine, we had to split the location into several maps.

    Thanks! that's what we also thought, I guess, actually some years ago. I played Dark Forces II multiple times as a kid, and this location was probably the first i my experience to show a simple town in a Star Wars game. You would have to fight off a few mercs there, but still possible to enjoy the feel of a city, occupied by the Empire. It was fun to build. There is no big secret, but it was probably the hardest thing to pull off in Radiant. In this regards NetRadiant works far better than the original level editor, as I used meshes and Brush triangles. The brushes were used for pillars, several triangle ones were placed together to form a wall under certain angle. The method you show either an ase or md3 model is actually a nice method! This was used for the mountains of Tatooine in JA, but we use it too for a more complex architecture, when using meshes and brushes aren't enough. We also thought of making the city 1:1 like in Dark Forces, but it was difficult back when we started. Besides our map shows the city almost 10+ years after the events of the original game. We assumed, that the Empire is gone and the city is slowly restoring it, so the general layout is probably the same, but the materials and details look differently this time. We didn't recreate the Canal area, which you've recreated most remarkably.
  8. Revan is pretty much established for me and I wouldn't like some new story about him – like being a different Sith/Jedi with completely replaced companions and motivations, with his life taking place in a different era. Revan is a well formed character through a variety of sources and publications, as well as through introduction thanks to Darth Malak, Kreia and other characters, which help his looks and philosophy evolve as you get to know him. But seeing him as a flashback or a vision – is okey in case of the TV series, but I doubt this would happen.
  9. Reminds The Challenge in Jedi Valley, where different enemies constantly attack you after you defeat the first wave of Force users, I think. Also there is also a Ladder - The Xmas Story mod, which takes place in a snowy canyon, which includes a similar kind of gameplay. But I guess, you mean a different map. Perhaps someone else might remember more of these.

    We've updated the city – its streets, markets and of course – the cantina The locals got their classic looks from Dark Forces II. Not exactly the same, but the similar style is there. Also added a few more variations. Female skins coming too!
  11. It would be nice to see a video with all these beauties! The progress is absolutely stunning! Love the designs and shaders!
  12. I'd never seen this character, but had a look in SWwiki. Reminds me of a mix between Darth Vader and Darth Malak, and thus looks a lot like the Vader Clone from the Mainframe mod series.
  13. Typing "levelshot" in the Console could also make the trick, it automatically removes HUD and others things, but "notarget" and 1st person view are required as well. Mught not work properly with new resolutions though. In case of this method you're more likely to make a more pristine levelshot for your map
  14. This is sooo beautiful. I wanted to ask about the basreliefs in the front, but I see that you planned to add those from the start. I do like the statue in the front, but I would replace the Sith statue with the Jedi ones.
  15. I feel odd a bit about this one. On one hand, I'm glad, an old classic gets a new look so that the fans who care about – could relive it once more with a crispy, fresh appearance and designs. On the other hand, the game remains to be old even with this remaster and most people would most likely say, that the game didn't age too well even with all the changes... As for myself, I don't feel bad about Pixel graphics and Pixel art, my problem with Dark Forces is perhaps, that the general atmosphere towards the end of the game is more and more repetitive as I remember it from the original. Some of the people I know voiced an opinion, that it would be far better to release a real remake with Unreal Engine and all the cutscenes done in 3D. But I would most likely try the remaster version.
