Hey, not too shabby! Me likey!

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.

The first half of the RAS Prosecutor?

Weren't these guys made a bunch of times already?

So, that's it, eh? No updates, or lists, or anything?

But you forget that he was cut off from the Force, so he needed to the Valley to reconnect.

Alternatively, you can start a topic either here, on moddb, or some other site, and just wait for interested people to join. A word of warning though, if you go along this route: make sure you can do at least something, because i know from personal experience that when you only have an idea, but can't do any actual modding, people will not want to work with you, thinking you're lazy or whatnot. So yeah, your best - definitely best - option is to start by yourself, actually learn to do things, and then show it to people and invite them to join the modding team. It will take time, and it won't be easy, but it will be worth it in the long run. As to the idea, i was actually thinking of something similar myself (though just as a fantasy, because my modding skills are inadequate for something as big as this, and i can't be arsed to learn right now). The way i see it, it's gonna feel like Dark Forces/ JO before you get a lightsaber. In fact, the Rax level in JA is one of my favorites. Now, the guys are right, since you'll most likely play a file-and-folder stormtrooper, you'll need to work in a group, whereas playing alone would increase difficulty. I think there'd need to be some kind of script or something to expand follower AI or give them some way to get healed without Force Heal. Also, love the idea of escaping Ewoks on Endor! Funny and reasonable.

As to your original question: give credit to the map/ skin creators, changing the music should not be a problem, since you're making a video, but give credits to the new music as well.

okay

It got canned because LucasArts didn't want it, and then there was the Disney buyout thing.

Yeah, so some guy on reddit posted a link to this SWG archive of different creatures found in the game. If anything, modders could use it as a quick source of info for some new creatures to make. Check it!

No, no, I was just asking about it because I found it strange. I realize the staff isn't very numerous and that there' other things it has/ needs to do, both on the site and elsewhere. Speaking of which, how about adding a staff category specifically for file approvals? That'd get the files approved/ rejected faster, and would allow you to focus on more technical issues. Also, wasn't something about this written somewhere in the website rules? That is, that files go to the files section?

Well, there are ways to decrease picture quality/ resolution or even format. It's all about experimenting, you know?

Hm, the title's a bit vague... anyway. I was wondering, the site has a dedicated files section where mods are uploaded and downloaded, but quite a few mods are only uploaded to the forum, so site visitors and members have to look through the forums if they want to get a particular mod that they hope/ know exists. Should we just upload files to the mods section like it was originally intended? Otherwise, do we even need the section? Now I know you're gonna say that it's not hard to do a forum search, and that a lot of the forum uploads are of legally questionably status (being ports and all), but a lot of them aren't, and yet, they're only uploaded to the forum, not to the files section. There should be a bit of order, is all I'm saying.

There was also a fat Kyle-Santa floating somewhere around here, but I don't know where to get him. As to the Grinch, I do remember seeing one, but no idea where he is.

First off: Welcome to the forum! This is the introduction sub-forum, so do introduce yourself! Second: The model you're looking for, or at least a model of McQuarrie's Starkiller is available on the site, search this thread. But also others in the Modding sub-forum, the WIP's section, I think there are a few other ones available.

Somehow, he reminds me of Mercy from Overwatch Well yeah, it's probably the hair.

That would be the bomb, man! Because Overwatch prawn is good enough, but surely there is moar!

Okay

Cool! Such a shame the A.I. in JKA is kinda limited and doesn't work for fancy shootouts The Clone Rebellion of Kamino is such a good concept, too bad the execution never became big.

Wasn't Tantive IV created by SJCul?

Aye, sometimes I go to .com instead of .org by reflex. It's so annoying when your browser saves the wrong link

Didn't .com stand for community and .org for organization? If so, then what you're saying is the other way around

Shouldn't Luke be wearing a backpack and Yoda be holding onto his shoulders?
