If I wanted to use mass effect powers, i'd just go play mass effect charge would be ridiculous to implement in JKAs gameplay imo, maybe a force dash power like TFUs as a compromise?

reminds me of a reborn boss with armor plz 2 make in jk2hd

oh wow come on 7 looks totally boss whats wrong with you people

holy flipping balls kyle looks absolutely retarded with that jaden outfit, and those rift statues oh god please make it stop

abrams pls no

My opinion at this point is: SW sounds and music (as long as you arent pasting in entire soundtracks) is OK, everything else is contestable since other companies don't agree with it, like what katanamaru said about WB hating rips.

@@Kualan I hate to change sides so quickly, but those are some excellent points you made. If they don't have a problem with people making fanfilms uses sounds and music, I don't see why they would have a problem with a game mod that does the same. You're completely right about game studios making those models, those are the property of those game studios and are not SW affiliated so I guess that completely rules out porting models in this discussion. I should bring up that there are some mods that rip from places other than SW, since there's a probably a few mods also that rip from non-SW games and movies. I guess those would be unacceptable unless they have a similar stance to that of SW.

Don't worry, I agree with you. It's just a dumb code of ethics that's adopted from jk3files, and I doubt the majority of the people here are willing to change from that view. I'm not so much a model person but I think porting models is OK for education I guess because most of the time the ports are terrible anyway. The only time a model port pisses me off is when people try and pass it off as their own. You're right though, we're already breaking the law ripping sounds and music, why should ripping models be any different? If anyone finds out about how they let sounds and music through, they're going to act anyway. Mods with ported material have existed for over a decade for this game, and it happens everywhere else for all other modded games. I haven't heard of anyone getting sued. I've heard of mods - massive ones - that get C&D's but that's mostly due to potential profit loss. If JKHub really wants to be "ethical" and follow the law, at least three quarters of the files on this site would be removed but it is unnecessary because we've all been doing it for YEARS and nothing has happened.

I think sound effects and voices from the movies are in the safe zone, a significant amount has been released on starwars.com if that's worth anything (someone took the time to organize the sounds and uploaded them here awhile ago, too) Banning music might be a bad idea too, since a lot of the maps and major mods on here have SW music in them. Just look at MB2, JKG, etc. You could make a grandfather clause for those, but it would be really unfair to any newer projects that require music. I personally don't have a problem with music mods so as long as you don't directly copy and paste entire soundtracks into a .pk3.

Wouldn't worry about it that much. I think they'd realize that banning ripped sounds would effectively destroy the site.

Since a lot of work goes into sound design, it's pretty much like ripping a model. Not to mention maps that use music from the SW soundtracks, and its funny when people get mad about music packs or duel music mods when you can download every single map out there and practically get all of the SW soundtracks.

The Grievous model that was taken down was ported from SWBF2, I believe it was uploaded by a guy named "grievous"

Yes, it should definitely be labeled as a cheat. It would be kind of cool to change out your outfits before missions though.

It would be pretty neat to see Bespin like it's portrayed in the movies, I actually just watched episode 5 and just realized about how modern it looked, I mean it's freaking white EVERYWHERE, not that dull brown/orange crap that you see in JK2.

You got a point there. It's too bad mainstream games are becoming like that. I don't mean to sound SO pessimistic, I want the glory days back as much as the next person. Still, I won't get my hopes up.

It's possible, but it's also possible that the new Battlefront game will soak up most of the attention if it releases around that time (which I suspect) not to mention how many people JKA will lose to Battlefront. I don't think JKA will get that much attention unless a LOT of modders band together to give this game a face-lift or when JKG is ready. Even then, you'd need to advertise a bit.
