    Movie Duels Models to JA SP Help

    in Modding Assistance

    Posted

    Hi everyone, hope you're all well....

     

    I've been playing the latest Movie Duels and really enjoying it, but I also like to dip my toes into the JO and JA SP campaigns from time to time. The problem is that I detest most of the player and npc models in both games. So like many other I have been replacing the player and npcs with various models I've found (mainly on JKHub), purely for personal use when playing SP.

     

    The issue I'm having is trying to convert models from MD to work as a player model. Let's take the luke_crait model for example.

     

    I've extracted the folders and files for the model I want to use (models/players/luke_crait), and in the 'luke_crait' folder I've added icon_head_a1, icon_torso_a1 and icon_lower_a1. I've also copied and renamed the model_default.skin file to head_a1, torso_a1 and lower_a1 and added a playerchoice.txt file.

     

    So now the folder structure is models/players/new_luke

     

    The files in the new_luke folder are:

     

    belt.jpg

    belt_spec.jpg

    body.jpg

    body_spec.jpg

    body2.jpg

    glove.jpg

    glove_spec.jpg

    hair.jpg

    hair_spec.jpg

    head.jpg

    head_a1.skin

    icon_default.jpg

    icon_head_a1.jpg

    icon_lower_a1.jpg

    icon_torso_a1.jpg

    lower_a1.skin

    model.glm

    model_default.skin

    playerchoice.txt

    robe.jpg

    robe-parts.jpg

    sounds.cfg

    torso_a1.skin

    tunic.jpg

     

    The default, head, torso and lower skin files contain the following:

     

    head,models/players/new_luke/head.tga
    head_hair,models/players/new_luke/hair.tga
     
    torso,models/players/new_luke/body.tga
    torso_collar,models/players/new_luke/body2.tga
    r_arm,models/players/new_luke/robe-parts.tga
    r_hand,models/players/new_luke/glove.tga
    l_arm,models/players/new_luke/robe-parts.tga
    l_hand_cuff,models/players/new_luke/body.tga
    l_hand,models/players/new_luke/body2.tga
     
    hips,models/players/new_luke/body.tga
    hips_belt,models/players/new_luke/belt.tga
    hips_skirt,models/players/new_luke/tunic.tga
    l_leg,models/players/new_luke/body2.tga
    r_leg,models/players/new_luke/body2.tga
     
    torso_robe,models/players/new_luke/robe.tga
    hips_robe,models/players/new_luke/robe.tga
    l_shoulder_robe,models/players/new_luke/robe-parts.tga
    r_shoulder_robe,models/players/new_luke/robe-parts.tga
    torso_robe_hood,models/players/new_luke/robe-parts.tga
    head_robe_hood,*off
     
    hips_robecap_torso,*off
    torso_robecap_hips,*off
     
    head_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    torso_cap_head_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    torso_cap_l_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    torso_cap_r_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    l_arm_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    l_arm_cap_l_hand_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    l_hand_cap_l_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    r_arm_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    r_arm_cap_r_hand_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    r_hand_cap_r_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    hips_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    hips_cap_l_leg_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    hips_cap_r_leg_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    l_leg_cap_hips_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
    r_leg_cap_hips_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga
     
    However, after creating the .pk3 and dropping it into the base folder the only thing showing in the player selection menu is the icon of the model. The model itself is invisible.
     
    If anyone could tell me where I've gone wrong, I'd be most grateful.
     
    Thanks in advance....

    NPC Replacement

    in Modding Assistance

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I've recently reinstalled JO/JA and OpenJK for a bit of SW nostalgia. But almost instantly remembered how terrible the SP models were.

     

    I've been trying to remember how I replaced the NPCs with various models way back when I used to play. But can't for the life of me, figure it out.

     

    Primarily I'd be looking to replace Desann, Tavion and the Reborn in SP. I already have Hapslash's Stormtroopers and Imp Officers which replace their SP counterparts (I'm playing JO through the JA engine), but can't figure out how it's done.

     

    For example, I've created an npc file for Desann and pointed it to the Darth Malgus model pk3, put it into an ext_data folder and saved that as a separate pk3 model.

     

    My memories a little hazy, but I'm sure it's was something along those lines how I did it in 2003.

     

    Anyhow... If someone can explain what I'm doing wrong, explain how to do it properly or point me in the direction of a decent tutorial, I'd be very grateful.

     

    I haven't found a relevant tutorial on JKHub. I think there was one, but it doesn't appear to be available now.

     

    Many thanks.
