It did. The latest version just doesn't have any.

Which version would that be, Eez? If I do install that mod just for the camera option, I need to make ABSOLUTE certainty.

Now...I know this "mod", if it can even be CALLED a mod anymore, makes A LOT of people on here's blood boil, but curiousity has struck me. Have any of you all downloaded and checked out what Mr. Ozmyn Gunyaz "attempted", if that makes any sort of logical sense. I don't know if you all knew this, but when this mod was still being downloaded, there were quite a few people on Youtube who used the camera modifier option this "mod" included to film fan made series with JKA, as I'm sure you all have known from my previous posts. I'm also asking because I still have the mod on my large harddrive and I NEVER once installed it onto my computer for fear of the "malware" threat, because this computer is one hell of a doozy and I'd HATE to lose it to malware or any sort of virus, as it is a computer modified specifically for gaming with JKA, JKO and even more higher spec games like Fallout 3 and New Vegas. If any of you guys ever wanted to make a fanfiction with JKA in the past, or by some extent, now for one reason or another, I'm sure you have great ideas, right? And this is by NO MEANS WHATSOEVER trying to defend KOTF or it's creator, as he has already been exposed enough times to make anyone fall asleep.

Whatever you do with the model, DT, just DON'T model in the moustache.

You're quite the daredevil, Eez. I'm eager to see this when it comes out.

@@minilogoguy18 yea I will post some photos later.

This...is freaky. X_X

All it needs is textures and adapted into a vehicle file.

So it appears I will be starting production again. Time to go over the first level adding detail and better lighting.

 

Could really use rend2 for this, the game would look wicked.

SWEET!

That Rikku model is very beautiful. :3 I want to download it and try making some skins for it myself.

This is a good point. He'd have a much greater chance at completion by starting with the MP side, gaining momentum and contribution, and then continuing to do an SP conversion.

That's a good point too.

But not as valued. We have plenty of MP mods. Your SP levels were looking fantastic.

I agree. We definitely need more SP mods these days. Especially replicating the older games.

Or DF2 mod could be a MP conversion rather than SP remake. Will have a lot more replay value.

Why not both?

Funny thing, these are the hi-res remake textures from the abandoned DF2:JK and MotS mods. Atleast as far as I know they were abandoned lmao.

Dude! You should help DT! If you're remaking the multiplayer maps from DF2, you could remake the singleplayer maps for the mod! I'm sure that you want a remake of DF2 for Jedi Academy like me, so take this chance.

Hey guys what happend with the mod??? are you dead?? I hope not

It's not dead. DT is waiting for some mappers and scripters to join in. If you have the knowhow to map or script, just tell him.

I've wanted to do a similar project for quite some time now. But I don't really have the scripting/mapping knowledge yet to do so. Maybe eventually it could happen. Don't get your hopes squashed just yet.

I'm ESTATIC to hear that. Fingers crossed.

The jedi took ovah that mod awhile ago...

In all seriousness, I'm sure we all want to see it come to life.

We just can't get a hold of him. He just vanished.

 

And I think he closed his account.

Even so...would it be possible to get a hold of the original Movie Duels creator, ask him if there is a chance he will help with another version of what Jedi Will started, and start from the ground up? I know that sounds hard, but...it could be possible.

JediWill was tasked with it. Made a lot of progress, but RL life had to take priority and he just never got back into it. A shame really, as he already had a bunch of cool content made.

Is there a possibility that someone can finish what he started?

Didn't it become Movie Duels 2?

No, it was supposed to be the THIRD installment made by someone who knew the original creator of Movie Duels one and two, Circa. Here.

I've always wondered whatever became of it....:/ I mean, it would've been great to play in the OT via Movie Duels style.

To be frank? Depends on if a) any original author(s) has a problem with them being used in this way. B) likelihood of anyone caring. c) proportion of assets ported. d) whether or author trying or not to pass of as own work. e) whether credit given or not. f) contribution to community enjoyment of game

 

As you can see, its a complicated decision. Not one that can be simplified into a set of standardized rules.

 

My personal opinion on a file like that would be not to host it if the majority of models were ported, as I wouldn't personally consider that "fair use." It would be discussed with the rest of the site staff if there was any disagreement.

 

Having said that, any old files would probably only be reviewed if a direct request to withdraw the file was made.

 

An file like that is actually a really good example of why a specific rule just isn't enough to define what should and should not be considered acceptable.

An opinion I agree with.

The horns are a separate mesh.

So that's a yes. HELL YEAH!

Hmm...DT, I have an idea. Would you allow the horns to be surfed on and off, so people can possibly make "human-like" reskins of this? It would actually make an interesting feature for the model.

After getting bored while tinkering around with some of my other maps, I decided to hook up with a few friends from jkhub.net and load up JK for some MP action.

I then realised that the levels were classic for their time, and still would work even in a game like JA.

Now I know that some of the MP maps have been done already, infact Nar Shaddaa Loading terminal has been done ATLEAST twice for JO.

 

Of course while they were "accurate" they really WEREN'T!

 

ut I figure why not take a stab at adding my own little artistic flare to these classic maps, and eventually release a pack.

I even booted up ZED for the first time in MONTHS to try to get a comparison for sense of scale. Lol.

 

I'll post more pics as work progresses.

Dude, these look GREAT!

That is what we're saying. That's the whole "fair use" thing Szico was explaining.

Say you wanna post a reskin of Hapslash's Anakin with custom sounds and retextures. If you have permission from him, that's okay. Custom sounds and retextures are okay too. Let's say the custom sounds are like say, Atton Rand's voice work from Kotor II, but the model is from JKA. That's what I'm guessing to be a file that's is okay if it's a model. Sound improvement files are a little more riskier, but still allowed. Correct me if I made any misassumptions.

Then this is the end for your modding career my master...
