I still think it could be done well :) It would require a lot of work though, however, most of the new "big name" engines coming out seem to feature this, Far Cry, Stalker, I *think* HL2 features it too, not sure if it is just part of the H...  [Read More]

Imagine what the requirements would be like...... Not too high if done correctly (Good use of LODing on the trees would keep the polycounts low enough probably). Of course the cryengine probably wouldn't be used, but it already can do treehouses and...  [Read More]

OK, after reading ALL of that, I think I'll post what I wish JK4 could be. Saber Combat Technical details included For saber combat, I hope they use an inverse kinematics system. Someone before said that you could not use this due to having a 2...  [Read More]

I would like to see it on the source engine or the cry engine, but it almost certainly will be done on the Doom 3 engine. Oh well, real time lighting along with lightsabers will look very cool anyway. Assuming they make a JK4 of course. I would jus...  [Read More]

Why would they do it for detpacks and not for tripmines? The secondary fire for trip mines WILL cause them to auto-destruct, but when you use the primary fire for them they do not. Also, you can only have so many detpacks out at once, otherwise they...  [Read More]

What I didn't like about the demo: - Glow was too big, especially with dynamic glow on. I couldn't see a thing! - Too many saber styles for single saber, consider doing what someone suggested earlier, adding a menu with checkboxes to select which sta...  [Read More]

Couldn't you use the current saber "bounce" code and just make the bones unable to go past a certain radius of the last bone (making sure the whip doesn't "stretch"). By bounce code, I mean when you throw your saber and it bounce...  [Read More]

A couple of requests, feel free to turn me down coldly :) Droidekas for Rebels. I know, but it seems unbalanced, droideka vs wookiee. Maybe make up that they rebuilt droidekas after killing them, and painted them white for hoth (so you can tell them...  [Read More]

Wow, really great mod. This is so much fun, even with 150 ping when I'm used to 50. Playing as a droideka is AWESOME. Except that you tend to crash due to people joining and not realizing there are already enough droidekas... I can't wait for the nex...  [Read More]

Two things, first: Try to make the saber a little more detailed... It's pretty vague right now, put a little bit more time in and give it a few more details :) Second thing: You would probably have more luck learning to model yourself, and even skin...  [Read More]

The model is a species, so it has multiple things that are turned off/on. In-game rendering will be below 4k easily. Yeah, I was trying to ask about this earlier. How many triangles do just the bodies themselves have, without other model's heads/tor...  [Read More]

10k still seems really high to me... 15k seems massively high, I just don't see where the poly's go... I can make pretty much anything look recognizable in less than 1k polies. Just doesn't seem like it would be very efficient to have that many polyg...  [Read More]

Does 10k seem high to anyone else? If you have any faces that you don't need, just delete em. Although I did hear someone say that all of the actual body parts are in one model, with all the heads turned off etc... If that's what you're talking about...  [Read More]

Good point. Maybe you could have any direction of manual blocking block bolts, but if you do it in a certain direction you're gauranteed to return fire to the sender. Would that work?...  [Read More]

For blaster blocking, maybe you could keep it manual if you added a "force sight" to blaster shots that shows where each bullet will go, so when you shoot you see a little line show up, which shows you the trajectory of the blaster shot....  [Read More]
