No trust me, the shirt is a bit lighter in the cut-scenes then the one we see in JO and JA.

M@RS · 09-01-2008, 01:38 PM

I'm currently uploading my trando skin to JK3files

I'll give you a link as soon as possible

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-01-2008, 01:41 PM

Cool.

Good luck,hope you get a good review.

M@RS · 09-01-2008, 01:43 PM

Me too.

okay it's up to the staff at JK3files *crosses fingers nervously*

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-01-2008, 04:40 PM

Here's the HUD i'll be using for the mod.
Please note that i will be changing the force bar to a different color soon

M@RS · 09-01-2008, 04:44 PM

So what will this mod do exactly? Will it completely convert the game, or just change the hud, character, ect.?

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-01-2008, 05:17 PM

Well it is planned and semi-official total conversion.
New,levels,skins,models,etc will be included in the mod or something really big comes up during progress that could change that.
But i'm planning to officialy make it a total conversion

Oh? Who's your mapper and modeler, or are you learning these skills?

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-01-2008, 05:37 PM

Well i'm learning it along the way,i'm kind of testing my skills in this mod and gaining experience with modding.I know a bit about mapping and texturing.
The problem is that my computer is not letting any of the editing tools run.
It started just now.But hopefully it will work when my computer is cleaned up.

I am not planning on making any new models in the first version.
If anything i will be borrowing models from people.

M@RS · 09-01-2008, 05:44 PM

Here's my trando

http://jediknight3.filefront.com/fil...93621x#1627464

I'll be changing a couple of things, so just hang in there

You will be asking them first, right?

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-01-2008, 06:27 PM

Yes,i will be asking for permission and the right to edit them if i have to.
If not i will use what i have.

GeneralPloKoon · 09-04-2008, 10:09 PM

Looking good! I love JO and have never played Dark Forces II, the only Jedi Knight game I haven't played.

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-15-2008, 05:10 PM

Here's the DF2 kyle skin it's done

I used DT's model but all textures were edited or made by me

Any comments for this update?

M@RS · 09-15-2008, 05:14 PM

Not bad, and this is the cut-scene Kyle, yes?

Yep

Forceboat · 09-15-2008, 05:50 PM

Hey Agent,

I wanted to show you a neat looking Kyle you might want to ask the author about using the textures from. It's by DarthPhae. I wanted to post the link for you to look at it to see what you thought.

http://jediknight3.filefront.com/fil..._II_Kyle;93686

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-15-2008, 05:57 PM

Actually that won't be neccesary,the torso textures wouldn't work with the model,and I just like the whole skin itself.
No offense Phae

But i found the links to the last df2mod's texture page

Since idon't know how to get the raw textures from jedi knight i found their texture page with MOST of the df2 textures.
http://shamusworld.gotdns.org/cgi-bin/textures.cgi

Pwnzor326 · 09-20-2008, 07:10 PM

Are you guys gonna put the DF2 cutscenes in the mod? Is it even possible?

M@RS · 09-20-2008, 08:49 PM

I don't know... That's a good question...

It is possible to use the cut-scenes.The SMACK files will have to be coverted to roq files.

That's actually one of my biggest concerns,I don't know how to make ROQs

If anybody could tell me anything about converting

I'm really dedicated to this mod and don't wanna give up

nizwiz · 09-21-2008, 04:59 AM

'Cause it's possible technically. The question is if it's possible legally.

BTW:
Official roq encoder
Quake Video Maker

As for decoding SMACK files, however, I don't know anything off the top of my head.

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-21-2008, 11:17 AM

Thanks nizwiz,i'm defenatly using quake video maker.That means new videos of all the cut-scenes in jedi outcast form!

jedimike2234 · 09-21-2008, 01:27 PM

i think you should get in contact with darkstarmojo about this,he spoke about this in a thread but this was time ago.and while he had the files for the cutscenes already to go ,if i remember correctly ,the player would have a large download to do just for the cutscenes alone.and he spoke about doing the cutscenes using the game engine,the way they were done in both outcast and jka.
i would like to see the original fmv scenes but as dsm said its almost too much to download.see how he extracted them,maybe he could shed some light on this.

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-22-2008, 12:00 AM

Well here is some light

The kyle is done!

M@RS · 09-22-2008, 12:19 AM

Huh, not bad... But, I think the brown thingy on his pants is on his shirt not his pants...

Bomberman65 · 09-22-2008, 01:03 AM

No thats part of his belt. If you look Jason Court (the actor who plays Kyle) with the belt on you'll clearly see that part of the belt.
I'm too lazy to get a reference pic at the moment.
But Katarn00 if you need any pics for reference let me know I've got tons of JK, JO and JA pics. Oh and I'm pretty good at editing music aswell. If any of those skills will hep ya let me know.

jedimike2234 · 09-22-2008, 03:29 PM

the kyle model is looking real good!

it looks just like it did in the cutscenes,it was a bit of jarring when you get in game and he had a white shirt.but again it looks real good.

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-22-2008, 05:36 PM

Thanks again,the skin job was done all by me.

But i would be glad from halp from anybody

Just send me a visitor message

I'm going to make the sarris skin real soon...

GeneralPloKoon · 09-22-2008, 06:35 PM

Is that bushier hair? I like it.

Lord Darth Vader · 09-25-2008, 04:57 AM

I know where is some completed JK1 duel maps for JO, look on there http://www.massassi.net/ (they could be used if permission asked from authors)

Agent_Katarn00 · 09-25-2008, 09:12 PM

Thanks dude,maybe i could use some

My GTK radiant is not working on both of my computers

Agent_Katarn00 · 10-19-2008, 10:54 PM

I have an announcement to make,as a gift for those who are waiting for things out of the mod i will be releasing a skin pack for the mod.I will be making a new kyle (again

)
because of the model permission thing going on.Hope you forgive me because of that.Since my computer is having some trouble and needs new virus software it will take not long but longer than normal.Hope you guys are proud of the announcement.
(The first release of the skinpack will be a BETA version so i can have a second opinion on everthing

)

CrisG · 10-24-2008, 11:08 PM

interesting to see this project underway. with the conversion for DF this will be an interesting addtion.

GwannaSauna · 10-31-2008, 03:05 PM

Are you guys going to make a Jerec, too?

Agent_Katarn00 · 11-01-2008, 05:24 PM

Defenitly.
I am planning at making these in the skin pack:
Jerec,Kyle,Yun,Jan.
Sorrry for the delay too,been buy with Halloween....

Also a different kyle yet again will be made by me,i have sorted it out and i will not be able to use DT's model under the circumstances. Really Sorry.

Agent_Katarn00 · 02-15-2009, 04:15 PM

We're back,school has been tough for all of us but we are making slow progress.
Darth Phae has made a great main menu and soon after school is not a delay we should be doing faster progress and having less tech problems.
Stay tuned for any more news

!
P.S.
Sorry for the extra post haven't posted in a while so i didn't know i was the last one....

P.S.S

I also made some concept-like-art it's not that great but it's just something to share with the rest of team since it's giving me an idea for what katarn is going to look like...

Here's also a pic of jerec & Maw:

P.S.S.S.

Here's my progress so far with kyle...
