I'll be getting of school in two weeks for Christmas, so i've decided to start up a little project to keep myself occupied for the time I have off.
As you've probably guessed, this mod is called The Lost Apprentice.
This mod will add one of Revans old apprentices, from his days as the Dark Lord to the Unknown World. He will be available to speak to as soon as you reach the planet, and will be located atop the cliff looking down over the Ebon Hawk, near the entrance to the Temple Area.
He will be angry with Revan for abandoning the Sith, and will give you a long lecture about how you let the Sith Empire slip through your fingers, and about how you are a disgrace to the Force etc etc.
You will have a choice to either to turn him to the light if your persuade is high enough, or you can go DS and kill him. (If you want to go LS and your persuade is too low, you have to fight him anyway).
Either way, if you kill him, you get some goodies, and if you let him live and turn him, your reward is the knowledge that you have helped a Sith find redemption and have taken another step on your journey to further the light. :D
I'll try and get some screenies or something up soon, let me know what you think. :)
~M
Now this sounds like a good one.
Too bad he can't join you if you choose the dark side, i always wanted another force user along with Bastila when DS on the Forge.
For now, that isn't going to happen. In the future possibly, I may make an add-on that allows you to recruit him, but first I want to get this first part made and make sure people like it, before I go making it too complicated. :)
Cool.
I'm looking forward to seeing these screenies of yours.
Finally,a lone sith to kill:D.Or I can convert him to light:angel:.Hmm,good work Marius :thumbsup:I hope to play this mod when its done.
Well, I might have a sort of beta out tommorrow. If people like it, and there are no bugs, i'll go back and start making add-ons as I suggested earlier. :)

If you turn him to the light, you might make him give the player the goodies as thanks, to make it a little more fun for high-persuade light side players.
Maybe the apprentice still has a few Revan artifacts, like saber crystals and such?
Where would he have got them from though? :p
It's possible that i'll make an add-on that gives you the oppurtunity to receive some nice items from him after this first version is out. :)
Here are some shots of the apprentices saber:

He doesn't have a custom hilt model right now, as that's something that will most likely take a while to make. I'll be sorting that out sometime in the week. He has a custom blade though. :)
are you gonna keep him as the generic sith model though?
Well, he's a Dark Jedi, so most likely I will. Unless I can come up with a good alternative that is.
I'll see what I can cook up. :)

You should make a reskin to make him look a little more like he would be an apprentice of Revan. Kind of like a reskin to be similar to Revan's Robe.
How about keeping his robe, but turn it black?
Hey I like the concept.
Just an Idea:
Have him leave the planet but then the Republic forces launches their attack on the Star Forge. Just as the character is going to hit lightspeed, it get blasted and you are sent to another system.
The ship lands on a planet and do a little side story or have a flash back to his time with Revan and Malak.
good luck with the mod:)

Hmm - well if he was abandoned by Revan for a couple of years, you'd think he would take his robe off - after being on a hot, tropical planet for a while.
Looking good MF, Lehon certainly needs a bit more content IMO.
I take it this mod will be a bit like the "A lost sith in a nameless world" mod? 'Cause that is a very good mod. :)

That would take quite a long time to make, and I don't think i'd have the patience to tackle it on my own. :)
Just thought i'd ask, is anyone interested in giving the Apprentice a VO?
If you do it, you'll get full credit, OBVIOUSLY.
If you need a hilt for his Saber, I think I could do one for you ;)
I like this small mod idea DDD, a very realistic and sober aproach to modding.
^Crappy self made saber, or uber Q hilt... I think I know which one i'm gonna go with.. :p
Yeah, I haven't got the patience or skill to do huge mods alone, so this seems like the most sensible thing for me to do. :lol:
I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Great work as usual Q! :D
Thanks alot.
:D
Very Sith like. Nice. :golfclap:
If I may inquire, how many polys are on that beast?
About 1980 polys.
Now to get the "beast" in the game.
^Good luck. ;)
Well forget those renders, like a F"en noob, I made this model out of several meshes and not one.
I have to redo the mapping and texturing, cause MDLops lets you only replace the old hilt with one 1 other mesh.
So I can only bring one part of this hilt in the game: any other method of compiling makes the blade go invisible dissapear, just great...
ARJGDKHGDOSIGJIODJDI, so pissed of at my own stupidity, shaaaaaaaaiiitt !
:lol:
Well, there's no rush. :)
Awesome mod. I'm looking forward to playing it.
wow, this sounds great! this is my first day on the site, and so far, it looks promising (sorry 4 whatever butchery of spelling that i did/ do)
Couldn't one of the sabers used in the Saber Resource Pack be used as the apprentice saber?
I suppose I could use this one:

It depends on what Q thinks.
No, no, no, I won't be that lazy and let your reuse an oldy.
I'm getting fresh ideas, so have a bit of patience and I'll make another one.
Just remind me it has to be one piece xD

:lol:
I shall scream it at you loudly down the Skype-o phone. :p
Looks great! I might make myself seem like a frigging idiot, but i think its spelled "failure" instead of "failiure"(on the screen that you fail to persuade the sith it says failiure). :xp:
this is awesome. i would love to see that you can have him as a party member. how about a male/female version? any way, if you do, you can have them as an evil replacement for either Juhani or Jolee, as if you're evil you kill them on top of the Rakatan Temple. a nes skin for them would also look good.
SUGGESTION!
- if they do become party members, you cant let them be able to change main body clothing. most likely it wont stick and could crash the game.
NICE WORK!
^As I said before, I may release a V2 or some sort of addon to make him recruitable. :)
Version 1 of the mod is now complete. The only thing missing is a VO for the character.
If anyone is interested in voicing him, PLEASE let me know ASAP as I want to release this first version tommorrow.
A version 2 might be release over Christmas, which allows you to recruit him after you go DS on the temple, and kill Jolee and Juhani. He will replace Juhani. :)
In the second version, what if the apprentice waits for Revan and Bastila right outside the temple and Bastila says the line from the beach in which she says Revan has reclaimed his true identity.
Then you could have the Apprentice agree to join you.
What do you think?
I was thinking he could appear on the rooftops after you kill Juhani and Jolee. So he's there when you walk back down to the ground floor.
I'm a wee bit confused. So you can only recruit him while darkside? or is there going to be a way for Lightsiders to get him?
Well I suppose he could meet you at the Ebon Hawk before you leave, and replace either Bastila or T3.
T3 most likely, as I don't want any compatibility issues with BoS. With DS he'll replace Jolee too, to prevent problems with Kay.
if you want to make him recruitable, I'd suggest using one of the bald PC male heads (re-skinned of course). That way, he'll have all the mask and goggle hooks, and be able to wear clothes & armour. It seems to me that most of Revan's apprentices were bald (Malak, Bandon, etc).

not important but bandon was never revans apprentice

True, he's more accurately the apprentice of Revan's apprentice, but my point was that most of the lightsaber wielding male Sith were bald (Malak, Bandon, Uthar Wynn, Sith Governor (
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith_Governor)) or are wearing hoods (so maybe they're also bald). There's even a 1 in 5 chance that Revan was bald. IMO that pattern would suggest that all of the high ranking Sith shaved thier heads.
This mod looks awesome, I'll probably download it when it's released.
However, I suggest that somebody create a new unique model for this Lost Apprentice. I'm going to attempt to learn how to use gMax, so I might contribute something if you want it Marius Fett.
We still can't scratch build body models yet. :)
Wow, now that is one cool looking saber.
This mod is looking better every time i check this thread.
Edit: Hey, any way for there to be two blade types for that saber? The first being the default type, and the other being the new blade? This way each player could choose which blade they want.
I ask because i really prefer the default type blades.
Oooh.
I'm about to do my own ingame test, i'll post a screeny of what it looks like with the new blade. :D
