Hey everyone!
I have decided to embark on a project to remake Dark Forces (1995) ENTIRELY in Mysteries of the Sith (1998). Sure, MotS is already three years old, but it's still technically more advanced than DF itself. And I just read up on those 16-bit MATs, too. Hooray, no more CMPs!
In order to do a project of such magnitude, I have to remake DF's cutscenes in MotS (word is that it's something that must be done if you're planning to fully recreate a game that has cutscenes). After all, cutscenes are what DF is all about!
But I can't do it alone.
I am not proficient at making cutscenes (or anything, really), so I need to recruit crew for this project.
First, I need to know all this:
1) As this question is clearly the most obvious one to start this round of burning hot game remaking related questions with, what do I need in order to do a launcher EXE for the project? It'd have to be similar to the one in MotS, where you can start the game, open the readme, ride the snake with Jimmy Tango's Fatbusters and so forth... I seem to recall One Rebel's Sacrifice having a custom launcher like that. Any ideas? Clues? Booze?
2) ... Did I mention the cutscenes?
3) How can I convert all of DF's walls and skies into MotS .MATs, so I could use them in the thing.
4) I am not good at making cutscenes, so I'm going to need help with that. Anyone?
5) How can I make Kyle look the way he does in Dark Forces? Surely this can't be a process that involves any kind of image editing in a photo editor for pictures, and converting those edited texture-picture-images to Matt Format?
Oh, and I need to make Kyle look like Jan too.
6) Oh yeah, I need to be able to convert the other textures (aside from walls and skies) into MotS .MATs as well. How?
I mean, who will do it for me?
I mean, how will someone do it for me?
7) How can I make Jabba the Hutt appear as a hologram in Jabba the Hutt's ship level?
Where can I get Jabba the Hutt for the level to begin with?
Where does Jabba the Hutt live?
Anyway, I need the hologram Jabba for the opening cutscene of the Jabba the Hutt's personal space yacht level. Or hey, shoot the moon, the ending cutscene of the Nar Shaddaa level!
8) By the way, I don't know how to make cutscenes, who will make them for me?
9) How to convert the levels from Dark Forces into MotS? Surely this is not illegal to begin with, and wouldn't involve any additional work in JED at all. Just one click -> one perfectly playable DF-level fully
converted into MotS. Right?
But still, it'd be far easier to do a precise conversion like this instead of, what, recreating the Dark Forces levels from scratch!?
10) Cutscenes cutscenes cutscenes cutscenes cutscensc tuscens cutscences cutscens
That is all this time.
Answer me if you can. RUN. SAVE YOURSELF.
