Whilst I don't have any reference images on hand for suitable alternatives, I do strongly feel that we ought to look at the walking animation for the staff and dual wield lightsabers.

I'm wondering if it would be possible (as it was mentioned to skip the extra gear page before each mission) to add dual and staff configurations to the weapon cycle. i.e. If you were to select a staff that came apart into two separate hilts, you could cycle between the staff, the two separate hilts or just one of them.

That's the one I followed not so long ago. It works. Though from what I've been told, GMAX isn't the most ideal programme to be using these days. Do we have any tutorials on more modern software lurking about for hilt building purposes?

Very tasty design, I'm liking it a lot!

I really like that lightsaber as well. Depends how others feel on it, though. Technically, it isn't an original design. Though if I can get a better handle on crafting lightsabers, I'll do it myself. That said, I think there're better references for that hilt to be found on Saber Forge's website. I may be slightly biased because I went and got it. >.>

Canonically not, but if you can play as another gender or species, a slightly more mature character's not going to seem too out of place. Luke did accept students of varying ages, after all. It's just to give the player more options. Although, having just looked at his Wookieepedia page to satisfy my curiosity. Get this: Born 1 ABY. Yet, "a key figure in resolving the Disciples of Ragnos crisis in 14 ABY" I think someone may have errored. All species and genders have planned expansions. I just happened to pick the human male as a starting point!

Hey there, welcome to JKHub!

For now, I'll start adding a few more variants to the existing Jadens. Here's one I put together yesterday afternoon:

This is not going to work.

One thing I did loathe about the original game was that aside from their consistently atrocious aim, the NPCs would remain completely immobile whilst I charged at them with a lightsaber.

I really like the look of some of those models! I wish my maps looked as pretty as some of those screenshots...

I've only had these kind of issues when I've had an iffy file lurking in my Base folder. I don't mean virus-contaminated or anything. I mean I've downloaded a map, and for whatever reason (probably some sort of shader conflict) things such as that happen. Move your custom files into a backup folder, and try running the game with just that one installed and see if you experience the same problem. If not, the issue is due to one of the files sitting in your Base folder.

Whilst I appreciate the thought, Circa, my hilt making skills aren't in the same league as most others. When I decided to take a swing at it yesterday, it was my first time in years to get a functioning hilt into the game. On top of that, I used GMAX, which I gather from majority opinion is obsolete and there's another programme I'd be better off learning. (If anyone wants to give me advice on that, I'd be very interested!) What I'd like to do to contribute (at least, to start), is add more facial customisations for the various Base Jadens. I thought 3 choices for each was a bit stingy of Raven. But hey, from what I hear they had some serious deadline issues and a lot more was scrapped than just a few more head options!

Open luke_head_new Layer -> New Layer (use the foreground colour, which by default is black.) Select that layer in the layers window. If you look just above it, there's a little box named "Mode:" with a drop-down arrow opposite. Click it. Click "Saturation". The black should now be partially transparent, making the hair (and the skin) a dark grey. (Don't worry, it doesn't have to stay this way!) Now click the bottom layer. Using the fuzzy select tool (the one that looks like a wand), select Luke's skin and avoid selecting his hair. (Hold SHIFT to select more than one area with the tool) When you have most of Luke's skin selected, click back onto the top layer. Tap Ctrl+X, or "Edit" then "Cut" You should now be left with unaltered skin, but dark grey hair. If not, repeat the process until you're done, or use an eraser on the top layer to tidy up grey bits left behind. (If you erase a part of the hair to reveal the blonde underneath, just use a black paint brush to replace it, or hit "undo") Ensuring the top layer is selected, underneath the "Mode: Color" part of the layers window will be "Opacity" Lower that until you're happy with Luke's hair colour. Done!

You take that one, I'll take these two!

Mesa no think so.

I will do what I must.

Not a bad start! Personally, I'd have de-saturated the colour a bit more on the face. (Whilst in "Colors" "Colorize", drag the "Saturation" bar to the left a bit more.) I was feeling generous. Here's a head-start. (Get it? Head start?) Lekku could use a little more work. I totally didn't do this just so I could make a pun.

The other he spoke of is your twin sister.

Not to bad that guy, I'm only suggesting this because I don't know shaders off by heart. Do you know of any example skins with the shaders you're after? You could just compare yours with what you find, maybe!
