This goes out more to the team than anyone, but the rest of you can take a peak if you want...
Kyle's model is essentially done. I have him fully capped and segmented, facial weighting is done, he has 3 additional LoD's, and am working on tweaking the final textures up right now (as well as adjusting them for in-game lighting) .

I'll have it done in a day or two. And for those wondering about MP... I already have bots and team skins done as well.....
Kewl. How'd your health get that low?
Right, now all you need to do is model the superglue... ;)
that looks great, cant wait for it to be finished
ROFL "Some assembly required" :p :p. And Geoffrey, he probably was playing on Jedi Master difficulty, because you start out with 50 health instead of 100. and i notice that theres an external blaster model coming along ;).
I always knew Kyle would go to pieces on one of his missions. :p
Great stuff. ;) Keep up the great work. :cool:
About the damage on me in the shot...
Actually... I just started it up on the default difficulty... then just did some quick running n' gunning through the base to see how he looked third person....
Then I wanted to do some saber fighting... so I spawned a bunch of reborns, took them out...
...but the last damage came from spawning a kyle npc to lop him to pieces... forgot that he'd switch to whatever weapon I was using, and he poked me in the face with his saber... :D
I'll post a real shot of him later today...
Got my hopes up!
Sunday is the official visit the DF mod forum day for me :cool:
Still looks pretty cool, IB ;)
Here's the screen I said I'd post of him actually in one piece... it's the cutscene for the Valley of the Jedi...

I'm still working on a couple parts of it... but it's mostly done.
Fits right in. As soon as the mod's released I'll be sure to replace the old Kyle with this one.
Well, Kyle will be released for mp/sp before the mod is finished, most likely within the next week or two....
It also sounds as if there will be a demo update, which would include this for those who want to run around it in 3rd person.
That looks really really good...
hope you get him fixed soon because he needs to get in the game and he needs to be all in one piece
Does anyone else envision the Fonz? Heyyyyy.... perfectomundo!
Well, he's basically done now.... I might do a minor texture touch up or two, but that's about it.
I've decided since that there is already a 'Dark Forces Kyle" out there, I'll call my model "Mercenary Kyle". Just a name change for the file's public release....
Here's a couple of screens so you can see how he turned out...
Cutscene Shots, 2 from Valley of the Jedi, 1 from Yavin before Desann. (

Regular Shots, Front and Back of default skin, Red and Blue team skins. (

I should be releasing it really soon, and it sounds like there might be an update to the Dark Forces Mod Demo with this as well...
I enjoy the kind words you have for my work, and I hope you enjoy the model once it's available!
That is hella sweet IB, I like it way more than the original.
One question, can he talk?
He is pretty much fully featured.... He has team skins, bots, 4 lods, and has facial and hand animations for LODs 1 and 2.
I didn't add any custom sounds, but felt the default Kyle ones were good enough.
that looks amazing, cant wait to replace the current kyle with him
Whoa! Excellent job to say the least! Now I'm even more psyched to play the mod than ever! ;)

Edit: Added PC Game Mods to the list. If there is any other places you want it submitted to, just say so. Site's that now have the download available are marked with an asterisk. *
It's not on any of the sites yet, but I'm sure it will be very soon. I'm going to bed now. I'm looking forward to downloading it tomorrow. It feels a bit like Christmas Eve, if you know what I mean. (presents-wise;) )
Well... could be some time tomorrow, could be a week...
I've also submitted it to
http://www.pcgamemods.com/) , someone said that it'd be fairly fast in uploading... so I guess we'll find out.
I'll update the post above where I have listing the download sites, as the model is made available there. And so you know, he is now available from jedi-outcast.com and massassi.net, as listed in the post above.
I hope you enjoy it, and I also hope he lives up to any expectations you might have.
im not sure about pcgamemods, it hasnt been updated in a few days
Wow...this model rocks! I've had tons of fun on multiplayer defeating JO Kyles and hacking up stormies and reborn in single player. I have a question. Could it be possible for me to replace the Kyle model in the DF demo with this one?
yeah there is a tutorial around here somewhere on how to do this
I used the version of the JO demo map that loads into the full game while also having the DF mod demo elements loaded so that the JO demo mission would look like a DF mission, Moldy Crow and all. It worked okay. It was also my first chance to see the Crow since it doesn't appear in the DF mod demo when I play it on my Mac for some reason.
The Kyle model truly rocks. He looks spectacular when loaded into JO SP and brought to life in the cutscenes. With this kind of quality it sure would be awesome if the DF mod cutscenes could be done in-engine but I guess the plan is to use pre-rendered?
Man this model is pretty sweet. My favorite thing is the jacket. Never seen anything so primitive as a jacket look so good lol.

just tested the model: best JO model ever
One of my favorite things to do with the model is to duel players who are using the default Kyle model, beat them, and say "Your past has come back to haunt you!":D
That would get old really fast.
