I thought you guys were developing an in-game light editor?

@@eezstreet may have some ideas how you could implement an in-game shader editor and effects editor.

Are you planning to fork & modify GtkRadiant then? I have asked Raven if they'd release the tools' source code (ShaderED, EffectsED, etc.) ...but I never got a reply. (sigh) Milkshape?! Who the hell is using that? XSI ModTool 7.5 is FREE and supports MD3 (with my new exporter) and exports dotXSI that is converted to Ghoul2 using Carcass.

Like @@AshuraDX said... IG-88 needs to be a custom NPC character with its own animations... I have IG-88 as one of many characters laying in my pile of WIPs, also will include the Lancer droid variant. https://imgur.com/a/9eqmh I do plan to get back to it one day...

should define a common PBR workflow

@@DT85, @@Corto, @@SomaZ: Since Dark Forces Revival and DF2 are both SP and would seemingly share a lot of models and assets... might I suggest that the two teams collaborate from the same code base??? That way Corto's programmer can help @@SomaZ with GL2 and perhaps it gets completed quicker with all of SomaZ's desired features.

@@AshuraDX - yes, the Softimage MD3 exporters I created are functionally equivalent (animations, etc.) to the 3dsMax MD3 exporters-- since that was the basis for my code.

@@JAWSFreelao - look at the SoF2 documentation from Raven.

Nice work! ...the gloves could use more love.

Seems like it would be no different than a reload animation.

You should make an animation for 3rd-person where the buttstock is unfolded for a more accurate, single-shot shoulder-fire position.

You might do better forking the Dark Forces 2 SP code base (ask @@DT85) because @@SomaZ is actively working on the renderer-- and if you have another coder... that would definitely help out both teams.

I wouldn't replace "heal" (just because it doesn't have a physics related affect); it should remain a force power. You should be able to heal others as well. Dtain is the darkside to heal. It should remain too... You should keep force saber throw... and a new alternative "javelin" throwing style shoukd be added (like Yoda used at the Jedi Temple). I wouldn't replace speed... I would just add your new force Levitate-- but Levitate Level 2 should be Level 1, and 3 as Level 2. Then for Level 3 you should be able to propel the object as a projectile towards an enemy. Also, if there isn't... there should be a darkside force freeze like Palpatine used when they came to arrest him.

it's released! https://jkhub.org/files/file/3301-softimage-quake3-md3-exporter/

Ok... the plugin pack has been submitted for approval/release.

So I have compiled the Softimage MD3 exporter for: XSI6.0/ModTool6 (32bit)XSI7.01 (32/64bit)Softimage 7.5/ModTool7.5 (32bit)Softimage 2011 (32/64bit)Softimage 2012 (64bit)Softimage 2013 (64bit)Softimage 2015 (64bit)I'm missing Softimage 2014... does anybody have (or know someone that has) 2014? Thanks.

Maybe if the models used ROFs & scripting for locomotion (if they are not a static animated assembly) and not anything like the player movement code.

Show a screenshot of how they look on the models.

I'd like to help with that... where can I get the latest DF2 code base?

@@MGummelt- actually, no I haven't played it... but it's on my "ToDo" list.

If I were to attempt this... I would make them use the same style animation.cfg file as STEF and Jedi Knight. When I renamed all of the "Grand_Pappy" root nodes to "model_root" in the Klingon dotXSI 1.1 root.xsi and animations and compiled them to GLM/GLA, I created an animation.cfg file from Assimilate and that cfg file loads the animations perfectly into MD3View with the original STEF lower.mdr and upper.mdr files. However, this is not a top priority for me and I would be open to collaboration.

@@MGummelt - WW2 fighter behavior would be great. I noticed in your space dog-fighting videos the craft jerk/slide sideways (which is not WW2 behavior)... Something that would replicate X-Wing Alliance (or X-W8ng vs Tie Fighter) flying is what I meant. Thanks.

Ok... so we just need better flight dynamic behavior, any suggestions on where to start?
