Your map is beautiful like a girl  

Hello all,

I'm very sorry that I have not gotten started on this for those that are paying attention. BUT! it is part of my resolution for the New Year. My resolutions are to pay off my student loans, date only good people, and get to modding!!!! haha. 

I will have a small taste of what I've been working on done soon and it'll be up as soon as it is. I have been spending about an hour a month on this, so its been a slow process so far but I'm gonna crank up the frequency of this hobby. Hang in there! I hope its worth it...

m:
cd C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-1.4
q3map2.exe -v -game ja -onlyents %1
echo.
echo Compiling finished, press any key to close this window
pause>nul

 

 

Make the above text into a .bat file. Save it in the same folder as q3map2. (Usually your gtkradiant installation.) If you don't have q3map2, acquire it or just download any version of gtkradiant and install it.

 

 

 

 

Now, get the BSP of the level you'd like to modify. If it's a stock map its going to be located in the jedi academy assets pk3's. I cant remember which, it's been a long time since I modded JKA.

 

 

Open the BSP in notepad, search for the word worldspawn. You'll see a syntax structure looking something like this:

 

{

"soundSet" "city_outdoor"

"angle" "225"

"soundSet" "city_outdoor"

"classname" "worldspawn"

}

 

 

Copy everything from that opening bracket to the closing bracket of the very last entity in the list. Paste it into it's own file. Save it as mapname.ent. (Must have the same filename as the bsp)

 

 

Follow the proper entity syntax and create new info_player_starts with the origins you want and angles. 

 

With both the BSP and the .ent file in the same folder, drag the .ent file onto the .bat I had you create. The new entities will be repacked into the BSP.

 

 

Place this BSP in a fresh PK3 following the folder structure it had in the original PK3. Name your new PK3 something alphabetically senior to the original assets pk3. I usually just add zzzzzzzzzzzzzz's to the beginning.

 

 

 

 

And there you go.

I realize how old this topic is... But hopefully someone can read this... How do you know the "origins and angles"?

I did not mean to offend you, It was harshly phrased - harsher than intended to be fair.

You used to be quite interested in getting feedback and learning new skills.

Here's what a possible application of the feedback I gave can look like:

This took about 20 Minutes, not counting the time I spent setting up the model in 3ds max and naming materials.

All I did is bake a world space normal map and an ambient occlusion map then combine the maps with the diffuse textures to get this result. with a bit of polish and individual tweaking of the different texture maps you could get a more polished result. This was a quick and dirty job.

Here are the touched up textures with the model_lit.skin variant.

I love it how creative and knowledgeable this community is! Of course the advice AshuraDX gave is absolute gibberish to me... Didn't understand a word... Occlusion map? Bake? 3ds max? Haha but whatever! You're both amazing at what you do and I just wish I could plug into the matrix and download your knowledge!

More fiddling around with this guy for a bit today:

 

Added more aspects of the wiring harness and extra greebles placed, after looking over some more source photos.  Also repositioned and resized some existing aspects.

He really should not take too long after getting all the pieces in place.

Are you gonna make a playable version of this guy?

Looks fantastic!

They have models out there with Temuera Morrison's face. I'd love to have an alternate with his sarlacc scarred face! Haha I was gonna try that if I could find the time..

Hey all,

This topic is NOT dead. I've just been getting distracted by some personal problems and life generally. Then in honor of WandaVision, I decided to watch all the MCU movies and TV shows in chronological order. (As you can all see, I'm a bit on the insane side and looooove my chronological timelines! Haha) thanks for your patience. Ill be back at it soon!

Still...

@HUM-3154Any chance you can do TROS Kylo Ren, either from Fortnite or BFII?

I believe someone else has already made that.

You definitely deserve a break. I've been working on models for Battlefront (classic 2005) myself and sometimes it can really grate on the nerves if it drones on for a long time, or you get stuck with a certain mesh. But I literally just got back into it, but I suspect I'll have to take another break before long.

It's all really work!

Either way. Still looks great.

I for one would be very interested in a mod for the bad batch, it is too bad that there has not been a lot of participation in contests I enjoy much of the content here. As for the show itself, it is very popular and is growing (although I can't say for sure if that is the case with the members here) I too despise most of disney Canon in terms of the sequel trilogy, but I guarantee satisfaction in any of Dave Filoni's work (he actually incorporates good story telling into the content of star wars unlike kathleen kennedy who has no  idea what she is doing.) Long story short, I would be very interested in a bad batch mod for JKJA,  

I agree with most of what you said... Except Dave Filoni isn't always gold. First few seasons of Clone Wars was definitely mostly cringeworthy. But Bad Batch has been great so far!

I thought this was a kitbashing topic...

That reminds me. No one has tried to make a good Shriv model. Shriv is Lando's wisecracking friend from Battlefront II. Love that guy. A basic duros but would have to have the right sounds!

Anybody make a nightsister yet?

There has been such tremendous progress since the last time I checked in! keep it up!

Wat Tambor!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ohhhhhhhhhh. Movie DUELS, I got confused. Too similar of names!

Yeah he was asking for "JK Multiplayer with movie duels" so MB2 came to mind!

If you want SP, then Movie Duels is probably the closest.
