The aspect ratio of you saber blade file was off AJL. It was 128*256 when the original is 64*256(i think). Don't know it this was intentional or not and it looked ok ingame. It's just that when changing the saber blade, I find it easier to stick to t...  [Read More]

Totally sweet, like the JK2 version. However I prefer my saberblades to be a little more sharp, so I made a slight modification. Original version (http://www.xs4all.nl/~kalel/pics/Jedi%20Academy/SFX01.jpg) Here i changed the saber blade and disabl...  [Read More]

It depends really on what tools you are comfortable with. I myself use the rounded rectangle tool to draw the basic saber shape and then I edit it a bit with the path selection and direct selection tools to get the shape I want. But i'm sure there...  [Read More]

Editing saber blades is all picture editing. Just look at the gfx/effects/sabers directory in assets1.pk3. The *_line.jpg files(blue_line.jpg, orange_line.jpg etc..)make up the actual blades for the different colors. If you change these you will see...  [Read More]

You can't change an NPC's size with height. That's for changing the height of the collisions detection box. Use Scale for changing sizing the NPC proportionally or use ScaleZ for just changing it's height without the rest of it's proportions(basicall...  [Read More]

You can get an NPC to use double pistols by setting the class to "Class_Reborn" with a rank of at least "ltcomm" or higher. Class_commando does not do anything. Oh, yeah and you have to set weapon to wp_blaster_pistol ofcourse. Al...  [Read More]
