Bradfu, the skin looks very very nice
But I have a bad question for all
I found on an old cd some picture of ackbar who show me some hind place of him and I see that my model is wrong.
Would u like that I change him (may 1 week i think) or not
Thanx to answer

moooa

sorry bobba I think that I have send u the file. I just wait 1 night to see if I must change the model

Moooa,
what is it that is wrong with him from behind? -just curious-

If it bothers you, then you should probably change it :eek: (Sorry Bradfu). Though, you did a really nice job on the skin, hopefully it won't be too hard to re-fit it if moooa does change anything.

Hey, feel free to change him, Mooaaa, it's not a problem. I'm sure I'll be able to refit my skins to it :) While your at it, I've got one request for the change: if you could re-map the hands. that would be great. They're not working well in my skin because they're getting their skins from the Head image.

Here's a cool shot I threw together of Oddev:
http://windu.cjb.net/calaron/jedioddev.jpg)

I REALLY like how the tabards turned out because of the vest-like thing Ackbar is wearing. Compared to my other Jedi, the tabards on this one are 3000% better, simply because they stick out.

Just change one little thing on the head but the texture will not changed
But the torso and torso body must be change and also the hips and leg must be attach because it looks crazy in the game( with a full pants). Just correct the wrist too but based on the same texture
For your skin bradfu I think I just need to give u a new glm file
with the head correct base on the same texture (and the saber bug fixed)For the torso, torso body and leg it wil change nothing for u.
So for the skinner it will change nothing if u preview to put boot on your model. I just give u a new glm file with head and wrist correcting.
For the change the torso will not be close at the side (lower the arm) and the torso body will go down until the toso_hips
so this 2 textures will change

Sounds good to me. Send it to my bradfu@qwest.net e-mail when it's done and I'll rework my skin (if it needs to be) :D

Anybody have any comments on Oddev's voice? Here it is again:

I love the skin Bradfu!
Really glad to have a Mon Cal Jedi. And yeah, the sticking out of those flaps does work nicely, much better than JUST painted on :)

I would suggest, for doing the voice, do the same thing you did, but with a bunch of slime in your mouth.

Well don't actually use slime LOL... maybe even ice cubes would work.

If I can make a suggestion specifically for the Jedi Mon Cal. Would it be possibly to change the model to make it look more like he's wearing boots?
 BradFu
07-04-2002, 6:04 AM
#165
I know what you mean. Had to improvise with the lower legs to make it look like boots, but the cuff still looks a touch weird. Mooaaa, if theres any way an alternate surface without a cuff, that would be awesome :) If not, I don't think it's going to be noticable in game, so no big deal :)

Nice model Trevor :D
Ok I have finished to change the mesh and now make the new skin. So the torso, torso_body,hips and belt texture will change.
I will make different glm file. One with pants look right, one with boots and i kept the old glm with just the head and wrist changed but with the same texture. And for my Terpfen model I will make a custom head.
I hope posting pics tonight (in 10hours), explaining you what are the difference between each model
And so can the skinner tell me what glm file they want
Other question : do u want that I release a skinpack with all your skin or do u just want to release your skin alone

I forget to say that I can mix different part of the model

and i'm glad you like my skin so far.

BradFu and TrevHimself, the skins you've made for an awesome model are breathtaking. great work!

brad, i'm glad you're making a jedi mon cal ... i'm currently working on my dark jedi/sith mon cal. the blue on blue is great! trev, is your skin a sith also? looks like it with all the black clothing and stuff. i dig the fact that your skin doesn't have the spots ... tres nice. variety is the spice of life, you know?

moooa sent me all the files i need to create a skin, but i've been on vacation so now i'm getting into my creation. i have a problem that's really IRRITATING, however, and i'm wondering if somebody can help me. when i use ModView to open the .glm file, i get an error that says "Filesystem call made without initialization." wtf does that mean?! i can't get around it, and i'm about to pull my hair out. i'm sure it's been discussed elsewhere on the forums, but i can't find it. any help would be appreciated.

moooa, since you've made changes to the model and mesh, do you think i'd need to work on the revised one instead of the one i have? if so, can you send it here (adillon@jkroller.com)? thanks! also, are you planning on releasing the model (with skins) as a pack at one time, like the aayla secura model? if so, when would you want the skin i'm working on by (that is, of course, if it meets your standards ... ;) )?

if i can get the ModView thing worked out, you'll be posted on my progress very soon.

Trev, don't worry I love making up name for things. I took a class in advertising at college.

The Darkside has no boundaries, it exists in every plane of existance, on every planet, in every thing. To grant such darkness life, a Sith Lord has emerged from the murky depths of Mon Calamari. His name: DARTH BRINE!!

On the new model I will change some texture : torso, torso_body, hips and hand. And bradfu suggest me to do a jedi version of my model (with more stuff at the level of the belt and hips). i don't know if I have time to do it, but i will try
however i think u can begin your work with the model u have and just adapt it to the new
For the error u have I have the same
Just put the model in the right directory ("gamepath"\gamedata\base\models\players\modelname")
and it will work fine
For the skin, I think we better much release a skinpack but for the date we will see when u have the model

Here's the latest update of Oddev, your friendly neighborhood Mon Cal Jedi Knight

http://windu.cjb.net/calaron/oddev7.jpg)

I've been working on adding details, though I'm fighting myself to not work too hard on it in case the updates Mooaaa is working on aren't properly compatible with what I've done so far :)

Here's Oddev's lightsaber:

Everyone doing the different skins has shown some nice looking work. Multi-Skin Packs are a great thing.

thanks trev. like i said, i had just gotten back from vacation, but i don't think my brain had. i appreciate the help.

-EDIT-
trev, i extracted all the files i was supposed to, and VOILA, it worked. the problem was that i HAD done that before, but due to some unfortunate computer issues i had a little while ago, i had to uninstall/reinstall various software, and all the jk2 editing stuff went with it. maybe if i would've read all the docs AGAIN, i would've figured it out.

thanks for pointing out the obvious to a poor schmoe like me, trev. :o
