i am new, and got the game for a few weeks (Jedi Outcast) now, i have seen a lot of beautiful mods, but i want to make one of my own. The thing i need is a TUTORIAL

------------------
You know, i am a fool. But, when they say somthing like that, i have a black out, and al wats left is----->BLOOD

What kind of mod?

------------------
I munch C code for breakfast and have enough room left over for a kernel debugging.

Tigers claw is my other name.

i need somekind of, wathever. Doesnt matter, its just that i want to learn modding, it doesnt matter what kind of mod


------------------
-thank you man, raly appriciate it

Well theres:

Coding - rewriting and adding functionality to the game through programming

Mapping - creating new enviroments and maps for people to play in

Skinning - Creating new textures to show on player models

Modeling - creating 3D models to insert into maps

Choose One.

The two easiest are probally Mapping and Skinning to get into.

moddeling and skinning looks fun, but...i dont have 3d max or somekind of program and milkshape is acting strange (gives an error and shuts itself down) so, if that programs are not needed. You get it. And if you do need that program, the modding of the game, like change characters, giving stormtroopers a saber (continu saberfighting ) and that kind things, the more i talk about it, the more i like it so, lets move on in changing characters and there equipment because i got something cool in mind

Changing there equipment in Single Player or Multiplayer? I'm guessing Single Player.

yes singelplayer, but is changing the skins (tavion=reborn and kyle got another face or something) too included. And then, can i apply it in game with a PK3 folder in the base directory or really a mod that you need to load

Well, in the assets0.pk3 in your base there should be a file called npcs.cfg in the ext_data folder. Open this file up.

You want to change Tavion to a Reborn, scroll down until you see the Tavion (shown below). And change playerModel and snd, sndcombat, and sndjedi to reborn. Now run JO SP and when you encounter Tavion she should be a Reborn. You can do the same for Kyle.

For moddling.

If you going to release just a npc.cfg change and call it a mod, don't.

True, its not a true Mod unless you actually add stuff to it like new code or models or vehicles. Call it more like a "game change".

can you two use your own skins, that sounds likee fun. and if you change tavion to reborn, do she get the same AI as the reborn or do that need to be changed two. And then my last quistion. How do you get it in game

------------------
You know, i am a fool. But, when they say somthing like that, i have a black out, and al wats left is----->BLOOD

can you too change the weapons of the npc's and other characters. And can you too change the body to one of your own characters

------------------
-thank you man, raly appriciate it

1. Pretty much all Jedi's and Dark Jedi's use the same AI code, so the AI is the same in Tavion in the Reborn pretty much.

2. Yes you can use your own skins just as long as you have them in your .pk3 or at your base folder.

3. To get it ingame just make a .pk3 with ext_data folder inside and whatever new skins you make in your models folder inside it and it shoul appear in your SP game.

but how can you change equipment (that souns like fun!!!)? Because i dont get how to do it


------------------
-thank you man, raly appriciate it

Well, to change the equipment (I think you mean Weapons) of an NPC you need to open the NPC file like I showed you and change the weapon field. Like if you wanted to give Stormtroopers sabers you would change the weapon field to WP_SABER instead of WP_BLASTER

StormTrooper

Heres a list of all the weapons:

WP_BRYAR_PISTOL
WP_BLASTER
WP_DISRUPTOR
WP_BOWCASTER
WP_REPEATER
WP_DEMP2
WP_FLECHETTE
WP_ROCKET_LAUNCHER

WP_TIE_FIGHTER
WP_RAPID_FIRE_CONC

Hope that helps.
