Doctor Shaft - I hope Azymn doesn't mind, but allow me to put some of your fears to rest. First and foremost, you can have ridiculously lethal sabers right out of the box simply by using the server command g_saberDamageScale - I believe this cvar is...  [Read More]

I know this is bad form, but every post I've read by that Omni guy leads me to believe he's somewhat of a turkey. (Did he ever release the source code for OmniMod as promised?) Anywho, the builds just keep getting better and better. I don't know how...  [Read More]

I too am a botfile tinkerer. Recently I got smart enough to keep my botfiles in a separate pk3 from the models so they're easy to edit - so it's really no problem to fix the saber throw thinggie. And I agree, the addition of 8 emotional attachments...  [Read More]

Master_Payne - yes I have every intention of naming the folder so it doesn't conflict with any other existing models. Don't worry. :) And thanks for the suggestion t3rr0r, I'll definitely keep it in mind. (I guess "Kermit_&_Miss_Piggy's_love...  [Read More]

Well the lil fella is still somewhat in a holding pattern, but he's about as far along as I can get him - it's just a matter of having the model skinned, rigged, and converted to GLM. BTW, for all those who asked, facial animation parts n' pieces ha...  [Read More]

...it's generally a good idea to just have half the head, half the torso, one arm, one leg, etc., and just mirror everything over. This is problematic for a couple things... for example, the robe mesh isn't symmetrical. Also, though the torso is geo...  [Read More]

I need to make some alterations in the mesh to allow for facial animations, but I can't promise they'll be in the first release. (I still don't see any in MP - and I looked - maybe someone could tell me specifically what they did to get a facial anim...  [Read More]

Thanks again everyone for the encouragement. It's always nice to hear. I've been a bit busy the past couple of days, but hopefully Yoda will be in the pipeline soon. Bart Skywalker - sorry, I'm not currently adopting the model for facial animation....  [Read More]

Thanks everyone for the compliments - it's very encouraging. The current polygon count (without the robe) stands at 3,014 (the head alone is 1024). This is just after I added the faces for the eyes and a base mesh under the collar (so you can't peek...  [Read More]

No disrespect intended to Kinja or Team Yoda, yet I've been wanting for a Yoda model with a few aesthetic changes just not possible with skins. This is the product of that desire. http://home.earthlink.net/~kaiasowapit/images/yoda.jpg I'm relativel...  [Read More]

This may or may not be a ForceMod issue - in all likelihood it's inherent in Tchouky's code - but I felt it's still worth mentioning. Whenever I play as Yoda (or any scaled player model) I've noticed something strange whenever I decapitate or sever...  [Read More]

Update: Interesting Bot discoveries Bots using a setting of Merc 4 won't use sabers (or most of the Merc goodies), however they start with 0 ammo, thus usually only use the stun stick. Non-Merc bots, with a tck_doublesaber setting of 1 or higher a...  [Read More]

AJL, any chance you could release a mac-friendly version of your mod? (The .exe installation file won't work for us.) Just a simple .pk3 or a .zip would be great (we can manually drag the files to the base folder or wherever). Thanks!...  [Read More]
