I'm bummed life got so busy in the last couple months. Really bad timing! I couldn't finish in time but I'm excited to slowly see other people's creations that will seep in over time that were also too late...

Yes, but not necessarily all bones have to be weighted. He probably just weighted the whole heads to the cranium bone, without specifically weighting the lips to the various lip and jaw bones.

I've noticed that's what most people do. Then when you do a taunt they don't move their face and it looks like a mask. Its creepy! Haha

Excuse me, can you add arcann to a movie south western Atlantic Ocean fish?

Montross! Yeahhhhhh

Merry Christmas Jeff! Thank you so much!

 

...feels like when I'd open a present to find my favorite action figure! Haha thanks again!

I was gonna try a season 2 Boba. If I can get it done in time for the contest, I plan to submit it

K2SO is very similar in shape. Maybe a good starting point?

Has anyone ever considered making a Batuu map? Maybe based on the area in Disney Land. That would be cool! I know not many mappers exist anymore but if someone has done this/considers doing this, let me know!

oh perfect! couldn't find it.... Time to do some sifting haha

There are far fewer contests and contest entries than i expected! I'll be participating from now on i think!

There must be a way to decompile BSP files to MAP files. I have tried a variety of programs that claim to do this but are not compatible with JKA maps for some reason. Any Help?

 

Also I intend to decompile for learning purposes only!

It may already exist but I'd like to see an area devoted to all the contests and their entries with the winner at the top. That would be great!

I just had a great idea for next year!!... a bit too late haha... But I'm excited! Stay tuned for the next one!

Mate that's Wolverine from "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" in 2009. "The Wolverine" was a different movie and was released in 2013. Not a big deal but thought I'd let you know. ^^

They all look great though!

I think he's just saying his superhero name along with his normal name "Logan -[aka] The Wolverine!" 

 

Makes sense. What a missed opportunity!

I think it looks almost unfinished.. a bit too human and stormtroopery. But gotta start somewhere! Once I'm back at the computer I'll take a look but either way, thanks Omega! Huge help!

That's good to know! I'm trying to avoid total conversion mods and i think i can probably extract assets from larger mods to fit into my base game (for personal use only, of course). I've done that with lesser mods. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help!

 

Also thanks for the clarifying title edit

Anybody ever try to make a non-cartoon version Durge?

I was thinking of using the model from the cartoon version and just reskining it but it may be too bulbous. Let me know!

Thanks so much NAB622!!! that was a very complete and understandable tutorial! huge help!

But how do you put it in radiant and be transparent/walk thru- able?

Hey all.

Approximately 2 years ago, I started a master Star Wars read/watch/play through of all the (crucial) Star Wars stories whether they be the films (Disney included too ugh...), novels, comics, and video games; all leading up to the release of the Rise of Skywalker. I am not much of a comic guy and I'm not into the silly stuff (Ewok and Droids movies, Holiday Special etc.) or the deep lore (Yuuzhan Vong, Infinite Empire, separate/alternate timelines, small character bios etc). But what I personally consider the important stories, I did all in order, combining "canon" and "legends".

Now more things have come out and I have discovered more material so I'm diving back into it, starting from the beginning. Through this journey, my plan is to create and maintain a continuous and consistent story and, all the while, I plan to add models and maps (either built by me or others) to add to the core JKA game in a timeline-accurate and organized way. This marathon will be much longer than my initial attempt, especially because I'll be continuously adding to JKA throughout the complete saga.

At the time of my initial attempt, a friend of mine, who is also a master Star Wars fan, suggested I publish a blog through the journey, reviewing and discussing each entry but I wasn't too into the idea at the time. Now after being a member of this incredible community for about a year and getting back into modding, mapping, and modeling (after about a 10 year hiatus) I think this is the perfect platform to log my progress and discuss the topics with fellow enthusiasts. 

Through my first attempt I noticed some redundancies and contradictions but it is a largely (and surprisingly) coherent and cohesive narrative for the most part. And obviously some things have alternate histories (such as the "legends" Skywalker and Solo families being replaced with "canon" Kylo Ren, Rey etc.) but "canon" will take precedence here)

(Note: if you think something is out of order or something crucial should be added PLEASE TELL ME) 

Here is my list as it stands right now and it's subject to change:

After 4 years, is the fight over? Any progress?

Any progress?

I hope he's still alive...

Man. You reeeeally like the predator haha. Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm so stoked for this contest. I didn't think anybody cared about maps anymore!

Thank you Noodle.

I will be doing some of the interior yes. I've had to make it around a third larger than the one in the series to enable you to move around in it. 

I know Mando uses a ladder of sorts to get to the upper deck but I may need to put a lift in instead as it'll be very tight

Or just (force) jumpable?

I think you already won the contest hahaha
