The Punisher

Exactly what @@Lancelot said.

It could be intimidating at first and for sure will be frustrating, but the best way is to determine a model or skin you want really bad and put all your efforts on that (forget about other models for the mean time).

When I started here, I saw the amazing work of people like Scerendo, Seven, Jeff, Kualan, dark_apprentic just to name a few and thought the same thing about myself. But I turned that intimidation on inspiration and gave a try and haven't stopped since. 

Furthermore, I am a fan of certain character (now considered Legends). Although there are a few good models here, I felt those models were starting to show their age and wanted newer or improved versions. Unfortunately not too much people no was interested in this character so i thought I would have to settle with the old versions.

Again, I turned that into inspiration and started some  kitbashes until I felt more confident and tried to Port some models with practically no knowledge, just studying other models). At times it was so frustrating I even quit and stopped playing JKA and went back to other games for a few months. Then came back with a fresh mind and ideas, and now have almost every version of that character to play with.

So, give it a chance, you might

- be better than you think

- learn a lot in the process

- have some fun

For sure won't be easy, but you will enjoy the satisfaction in the end.

I might be wrong but i think this might require some changes to the code. I always wanted this, especially to have random mercenaries, stormtroopers (different stortrooper models/skins, scout troopers, shoretroopers,, etc) and droids.

Doesn't Lord Starkiller/ Sith Stalker come with its own hilt too? Useable hilt, I mean.

Sith Stalker should use the one Ashura DX Posted above.

or this

https://jkhub.org/files/file/624-sith-stalkers-hilt/

As far as I remember, the only costumes that come with light sabers are:

- The Ceremonial Outfit that comes with the Jedi light sabers found here https://jkhub.org/files/file/253-jedi-galens-saber-kotas-saber/

- The Sith/Hith/Lord Stalker that has the sabers around the belt, which includes the original Starkiller saber (there are a few around), Kota's saber (also found on the link above, Vader's (there are a few around) Saber and Maul's  broken saber found here https://jkhub.org/files/file/1125-final-duel-maulsabers/

Here you go.

Thanks Jeff!!!!

Is the file complete??? I only see the ".sab file and 1 (the idle) sound.....

Been sitting on my computer almost a year but ever finished it. Needs LODs but need to fix the hands first which are giving me a lot of headaches (and are stll not perfect),

It takes a real Starkiller fan to do it.

Crait Luke was already done few pages ago. There is also R2-D2 model and two Praetorians (yes, now officially Fore Arena released them!!) however they are posed in "action" mode from the person who extracted them and this will require for another extraction as they come still by default.

At least the helmets and weapons can be used with PreFXDesign's Praetorian Guard....

Ok I'm having trouble copying the tags over, hhow do i transfer the tags?

You need to first understand how Blender works and how a model works. The frankestein tuirials in the tutorials section are great for this.

Once tou undersrand those 2 topics:

Import your model in blender

select a different layer

Import the Boba Fett model

Look for the tags you want, in this case the rocket pack tags (2 big triangles on the back of the model below the rocket pack)

Move them to the layer were your model is

On the parent property, set the parent to the correct part on your model

I guess youbwant to to the same with the flamethrower tag (on his left gauntlet)

Once you are done go to the boba fett layer and delete everything ( press the a key then the delete key)

Export your model back

I was inspired by the first screenshot (Dark Obi Wan Old NR04)

 

There is a process called “reverse engineering”. Unpack the models folders to your computer and spend sometime inspecting each model. You might find a lot if cool stuff and learn a lot more than you think.

Or could I just switch the folder name and contents in it to ventress instead of ventressk?

I don't like to do it that way but you can also try that. If you do, you need to also modify the ".sab" file.

Sabers usually have the texture names hard-coded into the ".glm" file. In this case, it points to "saber_ventress" but the folder name is "saber_ventressk" 

I was inspired by the first screenshot (Dark Obi Wan Old NR04)

Look at the jungle Temple map. It achived a pretty good (kind of similar) atmosphere.

Some of them I made for cutscenes and some are made for when I eventually get someone to code. I might make a fraps video of some of my stuff and upload it to youtube but I have bad internet so that would take awhile

Love the animations, they are really cool, even with "backhand" Lightsabers.

Try a 3rd party uninstaller, like ZSoft Uninstaller, Smarty Uninstaller, Should I Remove It, Wise Program Uninstaller or Revo uninstaller (there is a 30 days free demo).

Spoiler ahead if you haven't seen the new episodes....

I actually agree with that. I guess if you do make it you don't have to post it, just pm it to people.

It would still be disrespectful to the original author.

Not much, just a quick test in Blender (just saved as a Blender project,  not even exported back).

Checking at the existing models, "General Grievous VM" was made by neomarz1 who;s last active date shows as "Dec 10 2014 08:51 PM".

The "Ultimate General Grievous" ("4 arm Grievous") was uploaded with the "JKHub Staff account" and shows "Author: Darth Dizzy" that even thought shows as author on several models, didn't got any returns when searching for members.

Which leads into another problem: What if the original author is incommunicado? Meaning: There's no way to contact him/her or them if there was more than one author. What would people do then?

That's a really good question my friend. That's a really good question....

That's an easy one (another alternative could using the EG-5 Jedi Hunter droid). The problem is they all have:

 

License: Other players may not share or modify this work without permission from the original author.

There's no hypocrisy there. One thing is to talk about someone's right to license his own work and another thing is to put into question how much of a model belongs to a re-skinner how claims ownership for a whole he didn't make. . 

Both where the same case. The use of a skin based on a model from someone else. In the previous case was even worse because people were complaining about the "how", NOT the "why".
