  1. How long have you had the disk? Did you install the game from it before? Maybe at one point you bought it, installed from it, noticed the issue, but brushed off, then bought the game again online and forgot about the previous issue, but now remembered it, installing from the disk again? This kind of stuff does (did?) happen with pirated hard-copies that are (were?) sold in stores. Worst thing is, you have little way of knowing if the copy is pirated until you actually get home, try installing the game, and come across issues. Yeah, you can take it back, demand your money back or get a different game, but it's a bit of a hussle. I've had quite a few such cases: a) somewhere around 2003, i got my dad to buy me Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, it looked fine on the outside, but no matter how hard we tried, the game just wouldn't install, instead, the installer gave us a screensaver and some kind of wallpaper that required an internet connection (thinking back, maybe that was an actually legit copy and required online activation? ); b) i once bought a Bugs Bunny game about time travel (no, not the one with Taz), it installed alright, but would stop playing after the first level - it was a demo-version! c) i once bought a copy of GTA: Vice City where all vanilla music on the radio has been replaced by Eminem, Rammstein, and Russian pop - imagine our (my best friend and mine) surprise when we played a legit copy! I still have that cd though, and frankly, the new music was just better in my opinion; d) same story with GTA: San Andreas, except that this time around, there was no music at all, just the commercials - i'd borrow SA from friends, and the issue was quite persistent (my cousin's copy also had replaced taxis, police cars, and Taco Bell and Pizza Hut restaurants), but when i did buy my own copy, it was a cheap pirated version with a Miami Vice mod installed as the default, and it looked like it was made in DYOM! Needless to say, i was utterly pissed - you couldn't even play the game's default story on that copy! e) the first "home" copy of JA, i borrowed from a classmate. in it, there were no options in character creation, so i'd always play as a stormtrooper with a fem-Jaden voice. Not too bad really, most of the rest of the game was pretty much intact. Once i bought my own copy, the issue was fixed, but the multiplayer would crash to frontend after a few minutes of playing, even when playing offline against bots. All in all, them's are some fun memories.
  2. I remember when sometimes mods would mess up the game and the effect would remain even after the mod is deleted. But i thought such issues have long been solved for JKA. Have you tried looking through the game assets, to see if the effect/ texture is affected in any way? Also, did you delete everything? Because sometimes people forget script extending mods (openjk, ja+) are mods too and leave them, but the problem is actually caused by these mods. If so, maybe you did something in one of those mods' graphics settings, and your computer decided not to render it properly.
  3. Oh, well this is new. Russian-speakers have this joke about Luke (in Russian, possibly other slav languages, 'luke' means (sewer) lid or trapdoor, depending on context). But crate Luke? That's a novelty indeed!
  4. Hmm, then there seems to be a missing shader.Well, it uses a modified Jedi Order logo, the hierarchy is roughly the same as in the Jedi Order, and it fights for the Republic, so...
  5. This topic reached 76 pages, Fallout 76 conf-, oh wait...
  6. Wait, what? *Darth* Valeria, founder of the Lotus *Jedi* Order? As to your question, i'd work on improving the robe texture, looks too obviously Paint.
  7. The models look way too plump and cartoony in my opinion (not just in this video), the animations feel too slow and wonky.Yes, yes, it's a very superficial and subjective point of view. Sue me!
  8. Actually, adding static knights with decorative activated lightsabers would make for a cool prop.
  9. Personally I liked the ones in Oblivion better - they were just scarier without the glowing eyes, also their skulls weren't as square. If you haven't already, do release this one, of course, but just like Mr. Daedra above me, I'd go for a version without the crown.
  10. Not too shabby for the terrible UE. Still, a shame the guy's only remaking the first level and not the whole game.
  11. Well, the single hilt Daedra lightsaber you have in the pack feels like the blade should come out from the opposite end.
  12. Agreed! At first I wanted to comment on how I'd rather see Shaw's Anakin over Hayden's, but then I took a closer look and noticed that it's like they're both there somehow. Very well executed indeed!
  13. Wouldn't it make more sense for the singlebladed Dremora-saber to actually be the right side up?
  14. Yup. Always thought these hilts were cool, even though I didn't use the Magicka Sabers much myself Actually, how *legal* is it to recreate a mod for one game in another?
  15. Speaking of lightsabers, can someone recreate the magicka saber from Skyrim?
  16. Ja, happy new years everyones! :santa:

      It's not we aren't festive... it's that we aren't there anymore...

       

      hard to find motivation to make huge mods when you see the game is dying day by day...

      Yeah well, it wasn't about mods, ya know? ;)

      Some would start with a "thank you", but anyway...

       

      I was trying to say that this site is just dying. So, again, it's not that it is not festive, it is just not LIVING anymore. :)

  17. Aye, recently someone posted about wanting to make a mod about Stormtroopers, with the first level set on Endor, with the Imperials having to escape the man-eating Ewoks. All teddy-bear bs aside, that's actually a good horror idea. In Clone Wars there were a few episodes, one that I really liked was where they were partly ripping off System Shock 2 - you know, where there's a derelict Republic space station, and the gang discover that all of its staff were infected with parasitic mind-controlling worms, so it was basically a glorified zombie movie in SW props? Speaking of which, there was some actual zombie-virus story in the old EU, I don't remember what it was named, so it may have been mentioned already. I also remember in the old EU there was mention of vampire-like beings, namely there was a race of humanoids who could eat your brain (or something) through a couple of long, thin trunks they had. And there was also a kind of worm or centipede on Coruscant's lower levels that consumed raw energy, including from living beings, so a lot of people were afraid of these creatures coming after them during blackouts. Ah, so much potential.
