There's some screenshots of the new "True View" first person view for Masters of the Force. It's still in the prototype stage so it still hasn't been implimented for Non-Kyle models yet. Eventually it should work with all models (with a simple modification) and all weapons (automatically supported). Once it is all up and running, it will be very easy to make additional models work with the system.
Woah, I have a leg AND a foot! (

I like to call this piece, "Sparks, Two Legs, and the Sky". (

Ok, that's enough bad jokes for now. Sides, I'm out of screenies.
Later!
I hope that's a positive "eek". :)
Oh.
My.
Dear.
God.
That.
Is.
The.
****.
I get nauseous just looking at those screenshots. There's a good reason why you're not supposed to have a first person perspective when rolling and flipping...
It's more true to saber combat. Don't do flips if you can't stand to watch. Or close your eyes during flips.
I love it. Make it so that game admins can force it ;P For a true roleplay experience.
(oh, and what would it take for me to get my hands on this spiffy set up ... Me LIKES)
I'm working on ways to keep if from being a motion sickness magnet. The biggest problem is that a lot of animations move SO quickly that it just looks like a big fat blur.
As for how I'm going to handle release this data, I'll have to talk to the rest of the team. It seems to me that we should release the source for this to maximize the coverage of this feature.
Cool. :D
Is that a 3rd-person perspective from in front of the head?
Cool. I'll write a tutorial on that spectator cam I ported from Q3. I still think it's pretty cool, I'd like to see it in MOTF. Of course, that's up to you ;)
Syrup: No, it's linked to the actual eye tag surface on the player model. The model preperation involves blanking out the head on the model. (Otherwise, you'll see parts of the insides of your model's head.)
wudan: Maybe, I'm trying to focus my codding time on stuff that actually effects the gameplay. Sides, I'm not really sure there's a need for additional spectator views.
So does this work for every model?
Like I said before, this will work with ANY model with a easy to make addition skin. Look at Kyle's fpls and fpls2 skins for details.
Why look, its a few other screenshots :D
and try this on for size...
1. The dooku saber is from Bill's 2 gig JK2 dir, not MotF.
2. Ignore the debug messages in the upper left.
3. Yeah, I suck at saber combat. Bill's such a pull whore. :D
yea, i should really find that offensive pk3 and remove it :S i only pull cause razor is pushy :p
cool :eek: now thats one thing i always wanted! so when i have a blaster in my hand can i see the same way i can with the saber? (my hand holding the blaster, etc.) one more thing that should be worked out is the force powers, it makes saber combat cheap (pull him down then slash him while spraying lightning on him) how about so you can only do moves like grip, lightning and so on when the saber is off (like the movies) and powers like push, pull and saber throw takes half the force bar and it takes time for it to charge up (mabe jump doesnt take any force)
That's unrelated to the current stuff I'm working on but, yes, MotF will be altering the Force Powers eventually.
Hmm, very interesting, this true view is, potential, this mod has :)
Yeah, I figured it was pretty cool too. :)
i hope this mod gets released soon! ;)
you didn't answer my question though,
can i see myself holding a blaster just like i can see myself holding a lightsaber?
i hope so :p
now that you have the cool looking legs mabe you can add sp shadows in mp or is it too laggy?
Sorry, I guess I missed the question. Yes, you can also use True View with the other weapons.
And, no, I'm not planning on implimenting SP type shadows in MP. I believe it takes up a lot of CPU time and it might already be in there (if you look for it). :)
you do indeed have some pretty awesome additions in your mod razorace :D
Any new screenshots of the nifty implimentations planned? :confused:
Modified saber combat code finished?
Nothing to show yet. I've redo the saber hit detection to make it work better but it's not something I can screenie for.
Sorry things are taking so long. The functions I'm playing with are interconnected and I have to figure things out one thing at a time.
Damn that looks cool.
Are the movement physics the same speed as in vanilla JK2 third person?
As of now, yes, but MotF will be changing them eventually.
with true view can I actualy do wall runs and rolls without switching to thirdperson?
that would be awsome I might start useing guns with this mod :p
can you make true view for single player? I would like to have that
Yes.
No, I can't do this for SP without the SP source code.
oh, too bad then, well I realy with lucas arts allows raven to release sp source cods and animation programs........
It happens. Sides, SP already has a (crappy) FPS for the Saber. You'll live. :)
Trueview is cool - it has a very immersive feel to it. I played with it for a few minutes, doing wall runs and such and the view actually rotates with the character.
It can be disorienting at first until you get used to it, but it's WAY cool to fight with a lightsaber in 1st person perspective :)
I agree, until you get used to it, it seems like the camera spins around way too much.
that looks really nice!
i can't wait for this mod to come out!
Please get this up for download soon (or if tis already up tell us where). It just looks sooo sweet! combine this with promodesque(like aiming increasing your hit chance, none of that weapon proficiency stuff though) saber combat an it'd be sweet!!!!
Wow! :bounce1: All I have to say is that this looks pretty cool! Keep up the good work!
It's goin' to be hard to be patient! I simply can't wait!
Things are coming to a head now. We're testing release 2 now. The main bottleneck is Y with the documentation.
Give me 15 freakin' minutes and R2 will be availible for d/l.
Ok it's up. You can find it at your local jk2 file site or at
http://personal.palouse.net/razorace/MotFR2.zip)
Sweet I am trying it right now!
very cool I wish I could just take dodginng out. cause all characters dodge I dont like that but it is cool for jedi and sith. Overall very nice I give it 8/10 I like.
Eventually your amount of Dodge will be based on the skills you got. For now, everyone has the same amount to make things easier.
I'm having a problem with MOTF 2 I put the MOTF.pk3 and truevew.cfg in the base folder and nothing hapened! can someone help me please?
easy, don't do that. You gotta put it in a MotF folder in the gameData directory. Then simply load it in the Setup->mod menu in MP.
I just tried that, and Natha!
Now: the setup/mod menu never seems to do anything for me, I think it's a Mac thing but I don't know...
woah, you're running the Mac version? I've never tested it on that platform. Do mods normally run on it?
