Ok, so imagine this? I had a dream about JKA! In this dream, I saw this really surreal map, it was all purple, gray, and orange. The setting was something like Bespin, but the walls were like in Palpatine's office, but purple, and there were those Tibana gas tanks (skyboxes?) and giant windows with red (or blue Vjun Sentinel?) forcefields instead of glass. The floor was simple gray/ silver. You'd spawn inside a ship of a sort (looks like the alien ship from Prometheus) that's stuck in a hole in the floor (kinda like the Outrider in that old JO map of Malachor, or the Ebon Hawk - pictures below). The ship's interior was kinda like the Outrider, but somewhat more spacious. You could get out by jumping up a hatch, or down into the bottomless pit, though that would obviously kill you. The map also had corridors, several levels (not like 'proper' levels, more like simple elevations that you could reach by walking up ramps) and imperials (Stormies, Stofficers, and Imp-officers) running around. Yeah, that's a messy description, and I doubt anyone's gonna make it, but stranger things have happened.

Sweet! Thanks!

Yeah! Reptilian Amphibian shadow government FTW!!

I'm not sure what I found, but I think I found something on the MB forums. Here's what I found.

I was only curious; this is beyond my modding skills. Sorry about that. Still, interesting idea.

Well, you could try the npc kill all (npc killall?) command, to kill off all the pre-placed npcs on a map, and then spawn all the npcs you want. But that's a very dumb option, not to mention that it won't work with maps that already had no npcs, or have npcs whose death will result in 'Game Over'.

I'm surprised nobody made this yet, considering the popularity of this fan-theory! Here's a bunch o' pics for inspiration, though obviously a Gungan head frankensteined to Spanki's Sith body or Palpatine black robes body would work best.

Eh, I guess

Well, there were two actually. First one was Vjun3 (was it 3?), the starting area - the huge room you jump into once you get out of the hole at the beginning of the level. The second was one of the areas from the Coruscant Jedi Temple, but then I remembered that that area is a standalone map in KOTF already, so no need for it - this was just for personal use, no uploading anywhere.

Well, I tried getting the Naboo Throne Room map file, but apparently, it didn't have all the necessary files inside the pk3 itself - it just wouldn't show in the non-KOTF JAMP list of maps. I want the 'Ep2 Duel Jedi Temple' for now. I wonder though, where do I get some of the maps/ models/ hilts from KOTF that are not uploaded to jkhub?

Who is that supposed to be then?

Hi, yes, I was wondering if I could download some of the maps individually, because KOTF takes too long to start up for me. Thing is, some of these maps I couldn't find anywhere, whereas I can't figure out the files to simply pull them out of the KOTF files. Tis just for personal use, don't worry. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like something that's beyond me, at least, at this point

I am thinking of cutting out a part of a particular map and make it into a map of its own. Theoretically, it's possible, right? What do I need to do for it? Don't freak out, tis nothing illegal

I haven't played this in Garry's mod (never even understood how people played it online). Is what you want to make similar to CTF, but with only one flag, and 'props' instead of flags?

Note: couldn't think of a better topic name >.< Anyway, I'm rewarching the prequels right now and some issues concerning the law rise with me. For one, the Jedi keep making decisions that somehow outrank the official police forces on different planets (mostly Republic planets, but not necessarily), and sometimes, even of the planetary, or local rulers. For another, namely in AotC we see how Anakin highjacks an airspeder, how they crash the assassin's speeder in the middle of a street, how they even cut the assassin's hand in the club, but after Anakin says 'we are Jedi', everyone calms down; heck, the assassin dies during interrogation, but they just go about their business, no police investigations or anything! Throughout the films we see how Yoda and Windu are unsatisfied with how the Senate Palpatine keeps meddling in their affairs and arguing with their decisions - this can be understood for the internal Jedi affairs, but not in general - and at that point they didn't yet know he was a Sith Lord, just that he was (supposedly?) difficult to read. The Jedi have enough authority to perform arrests, to interrogate, to hold in captivity, and to carry a highly dangerous weapon, but none of this is something a religious figure should have, right? (unles you're a catholic in medieval Europe) Still, unlike the inquisitions, they don't performs acts of mass terror (thanks for that at least). There are many other examples in the EU, at least in the old one, where the Jedi outrank the political and legal authorities. I just can't understand how and why a monastic religious organization in a liberal democracy gets to have so much legal and even political authority, because they're clearly above your average 'citizen's arrest' and 'lobby group' kind of crowd.

1) I was just informing. 2) Reskin? The model itself needs adjusted! People make Zabrak characters, and they just reskin Maul or Savage, but the fact is that Zabraki horn patterns indicate their lineage and origin. Besides, a simple reskin wouldn't be accurate enough.

1) The Zabrak in KOTF is Bao-Dur from KOTOR2 2) Bao-Dur's horns pattern is different from Kao Cen's

Ok. So does it respond for the jeggedness of models?

I keep looking through the visual settings (all the tabs), but there's nothing to suggest smoothing the surfaces (then again, I don't know what antialising and things like that mean). It's a minor issue, but it makes the game a bit visually unappealing. You can understand. All those jagged models... Note: My game looks better than in this picture, it's just an example (that I found on the internet) of the jaggedness of which I'm talking about. I just can't figure out how to upload my own pictures to the site

@@Raz0r any news?
