I've never messed with power crystals, so I'm a bit hazy on the requirements. Did you add your new crystals to upgrade.2da? Don't the effects of the crystals have to be added to the saber hilt UTIs?...  [Read More]

Is it linked? Stuff not linked will disappear no? As long as it was made an editable mesh it shouldn't matter what sort of primitive you started out with. It's all the same once it has been converted to verts and polys....  [Read More]

2DA mods aren't limited to new rows. Often they invole changes to existing rows. You might want to look at converting any old mods that involve edited 2DAs to TSLPatcher. I do that for any such old mods I use to make them as compatible as possible....  [Read More]

Kyle Katarn's lightsaber from Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (and also JK3: Jedi Academy), now for K1 and TSL. This is a completely new mesh and texture made by me - not a port. The saber is upgradeable and comes with a custom colour crystal. The K1 h...  [Read More]

Hmm...maybe we can whip up some crazy plot where the Sith only destroyed what they thought was the Enclave, and the real Enclave is hidden enough that the Sith don't find it until after the Star Forge is destroyed?Except that Malak and countless fall...  [Read More]

It's not entirely accurate, but decent reference pictures are a bit thin on the ground. The texture needs a little tweaking, but it's mostly done: http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/DarthParametric/th_Samurai-3000-Saber-01.jpg (http://i374.pho...  [Read More]

It looks like that in GMax when you haven't extracted the blade TGA and placed it in the same directory as the MDL. You get the same thing with the hilt itself if you don't put its texture in there as well. MDLOps creates a text file that lists the...  [Read More]

You didn't use the right blade name in the first example by the sounds of it. You need to replace "w_lsabrered01" with "w_lsabregren01". There are 4 instances of it in single hilts, 8 in double hilts....  [Read More]

There are two options. Rename it to the hilt you want to replace and hex edit the MDL to use the green blade texture or extract the mesh and recompile it with the hilt you want to replace....  [Read More]

I noticed the MMO has put up some new concept sketches. The sabers are garbage but the blaster rifles look quite good: http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/DarthParametric/th_MMOBlasterRifleConcepts.jpg (http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/...  [Read More]

So I've been messing around with some texturing techniques for the last day or two. It has had some mixed results, but I think it produced a texture for the Starkiller saber that I'm reasonably happy with: http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/Da...  [Read More]

Yeah the original mesh was around 1100, but if you look at the edit I made to that post you'll see that I revised the mesh and dropped the poly count down significantly. It's actually one of the lower poly count sabers I've done....  [Read More]

Thanks, but I'm pretty happy with it at 773 polys. Dropping the spheres would only lose about 50 polys, so it's not worth the hassle to bother with. I'm pretty much done with it - just need to do some testing and then I'll release it. did you lose...  [Read More]

My 4850 doesn't like the character creation screen of either K1 or TSL. It causes the GPU to become non-responsive requiring a system reset. Only way to play either game is to start from a save made on another machine. I have a scoundrel save for K1...  [Read More]
