Impressive :D I see that you have redisigned the HUD, too. I think this brings back the nostalgic feeling of the original. I like it.

Jaw on the floor, awsome.... just awsome. I was actually a little worried at how bland Taley looked, but now... wow.

It's dark, it's cold, it's rainy...

It's awesome.

I am in awe. A perfect portrayal of a world that has suffered the hateful wrath of an evil Empire. It elicits feelings of sorrow for the dead and hate towards the Imperial oppressors. No wonder Kyle's struggled with the dark side...

Anyway, you guys are doing an excellent job! The corpses really add to the atmosphere. Keep up the good work.

Wow...That looks awesome. I never would have thought of the rain, but it really adds something. And the way everything looks wrecked-awesome.

I like the HUD too. Does the red light on it for the headlamp mean the headlamp'll be in the mod at some point?

Not in the demo, but hopefully the final version :)

You mean the red glowing light on top of the right side of the HUD?
It's just an additional design element, something like "HUD powered on", thus being on all the time on :D
Interesting idea anyways, we could use it for the headlamp status instead. :cool:

It is intended for the headlamp status Fracman. You hit it on the head without knowing it.

Geeez you're right, that is/will be indeed the "headlight on" indicator :p

You can find that poor Ewok in some detention cell(s)... it's full with fear and sometimes being roasted by error blaster shots...
:wok1:
The imps did bad experiments with all races they were hating... unless they exterminated them all completely at once.

lmao, n1 Fracman! :D

But seriously, what IS that thing doing here?

As i said... for experiments of the imp. The Ewoks are part of the SW universe, at least since ROTJ.
So they can be everywhere.
Not like the Red & Purple Tentacle from DOTT, neither Sam&Max and the other "guest" appearances...

As for "what is THIS thing" (the Ewok) doing on the website,
I extracted all the sprites from DF and made animated GIFs of them for this nice little display. Gives a change and something moving down there :D
You can see different characters randomly, actually they're about 15 different animations or so.

Yes, thats how i found the Ewok. :D
That is really an original DF sprite? cool!

But in DOTT the one Tentakel is green, not red. :D

Will the :ewok: apear in the MOD, too? Will you make a special model of the ewok (perhaps by HapSlash)?

That's the plan - it is, after all, the most famous secret/easter egg in Dark Forces :D

Not sure who'll make it mind...

Bah off topic or not, the tentacles appear in DF... and in the DF level "Prelude to Harkovs Defection", go to the bar and hit the secret there :-D

If i would find my DF I would look. But it seems that i lost it (I only have the box and the handbook left -.-)

I only know about the Max in JK.

I found Max in DF a long time ago, before I even knew who he was. I still haven't gone back to look for the Ewoks, though, and where's the tentacle?

not to be a party pooper or anything, and i do think the "battle damage' looks great...but i think it should look more ...dirty...I dont know howto explain....but i can say is to look at the tank level in GhostRecon where u escort tanks through a city with buildings blown apart...The exploded buildings looks more authentic

Well, it's funny to quote myself, but i have to make clear that the mentionned level above is not with the original game but a custom made level.

The tentacle was hidden in two sprites in DF, but it never appeared in the original game levels.

That would explain why the name sounded oddly familiar although I was 99.99% sure it wasn't in DF. I must have seen it when I was looking at some custom levels on the web once, although I didn't get around to downloading any of them.
