Blah. Stuff keeps coming up. I'm going to do some things tonight. Hopefully get the saber on and two other things. Maybe then work on stand1.

I have no idea if JO can do specific animations for characters. Though I would suspect so. I'll see if I can work on this and see what it takes. It may be awhile since I have some other things to work on as well.

Much better. So I'd say stick with the zbrush head and just move slowly.

I also approach this game as a more one-on-one fight or a one-on-few fight type of game. If your powers are based around fighting lots of enemies at once then they may work out better. In JA SP a 'large' fight in the base game is the Korriban levels. Those were: the player, 1-3 allies, 1-3 Sith.  

Fantastic work! That's some really great progress!

BTW: did you need me to look into getting Dragon to work with JO still? I didn't get to it yet because of car problems and such, but you have new animations in JO now.

I think that was just the ZBrush head with textures. I don't think that was ever going to be the finished product. Just a textured reference picture.

I don't have time right now to go into too much detail, but I'll give it a go.

I don't think breath and poison are neccessary. Poison isn't that good. Why wait for the poison effect to kill someone when you can use other powers that do more damage up front or a saber/saber throw? Breath is only a counter to poison. You could take any of the heals to counter it instead.

Same for scream and stasis. They are neat, but not really neccessary. I'l only take 1 rank in either. Stun an opponent and then hit them with a saber. I could see teams taking this power and just using it all the time.

Revitalize (better to be called Resurrect) and kill also not so good. For sp it takes the disadvantage of an ally dieing away. Besides with all the healing powers you shoule be able to keep npc's alive. Kill just seems lame. A super grip basically. Why take grip when you can take kill?

Whirl is just one of the stunning powers. So once again people will just group up and spam it.

Battle Precognition is just invincibility to everything except sabers. Too cheep.

I didnt' talk about the stats like 2 force points a second because that's something that would have to be play tested.

Go back to page 23, post 456 by Milamber.

Before I go into that how about cleaning up your list and making it JA friendly? Things like 'saving throws' are not in JA. Nor are levels or ranks besides the 3*'s you can get.

Make a lock on function. You could make it to be a cone of sorts so there was a little wiggle room.

If others are interested then I say go for it.

Personally I do not like the idea. JA's saber system feels the most natural to me compared to my fencing style.

Aha! So you are just showing the powers from KOTOR and wanting to know if we would think they would be a good idea for JA. Some yes and some no.

I'm not sure of the timeline, but in Crosscurrent Jaden is in his 40's and starting to get graying hair.

There were so many things wrong with that book. It was painful to read parts of it. At the end I straight up called bullshit.

Well one slightly messed up mission vs. every stromtrooper comander is really the issue.

If the pros outweigh the cons in his mind then it's all good.

A fix for that would be to give the Tuskens their own .gla via the hex method. That would be fine since they aren't in any cutscenes.

I have been using the tusken sniper rifle and replacing the tusken taunt animation with the cool soldier signalling animation  and replacing the tuskenrifle model to a e11

for a tough storm commander who signals to his troops and commands them, then melees you if you get too close, this makes the npc's much more interesting to fight. 

That's a really good idea.

Does that mean he shoots like the tusken, or did you change it's rate of fire and such in the weapons.dat file?

Excellent news! I guess I'll pick up a text book or self-help book then.

Woot! How about a compatability patch with Toshi/DT85 Luke 2.o?

What else do I not know?!

So I found out just a few days ago that if you make a folder in your base folder with ext_data/npcs you can put npcs there without making a pk3. This blew my mind! I was using an npc that I thought was in a different folder and couldn't find them in the base folder, but found the file there. So I made a new one for a test and confirmed it. Probably works with sabers too.

Kinda what I figured. I like the prequel jedi robes just fine, but I like the idea of the tunic, combat suits, or just clothes for the new jedi order more.

Liking it! more variety for Luke is a good thing. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I kind of want to rename this project Jedi Academy Expansion Pack instead.

I'm okay with that. I never really got the 'gold' part of the name.

Can anybody make a fork of the sp code for this from OJK? There are some things I'd like to look at without worrying if I was in the mp or sp parts of the code.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but have you seen pictures of Jason Court lately? He's no Kyle Katarn.

The ScorpDeathKnight is what you are looking for. Try searching for that. It's been posted in the forums before. If you can't find a link to it I'll put one up on Thursday.

If they got Justin Bieber to play Rosh...

I'll leave you to your imagination.
