Oh my god i laughed."do you fear me?'

I can just picture, at some point, you come upon this alleyway. A hunchback stumbles out, and follows you everywhere....lol

Like in 'Baron's hed' MP level, when jerec (without sab) would follow you and say 'YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME!'

lol he was just supposed to be an old man though.

Jeppy, you gonna let me beta test right? Cuz i'm......yknow, fellow project guy and.....uh stuff?

Looks brilliant. As Ant said, the cantina could use some colored lighting, preferably a brown or orange hue of sorts.

I don't get the colored lighting, SW cantina didnt have colored lighting

Hey by the colored lighting they want it to not have the bright cool setting that your cantina seems to have. BY putting an orange,yellowish or reddish hue into the lights itll help give that hot dust filled setting that is essentially tatooine. I think that overall the cantina is great id liek to present a couple of ideas.

Don't have bottles completly covering the bar since i know your going for the cluttered and abused look but 30 bottles standing straight up on the bar isnt exactly realistic.

The actual bar should be made of something other then concrete to show the star wars technology aspect and make the little stand behing the bartender longer and make it have the bottles organized by making stair like stands for them so they rise up kind of like how bars are maintened today.

Make a tap machine coming out of the wall behind the bar or whereever you want to put one to also to show technology.

And lastly in the entrance of the cantina make one of those machines like in a new hope that is on the wall of the entrance. When 3p0 and R2 where stopped by the bartender in the movie look to the left and you'll see the machine im talking about i think it is a weapon detector or droid detector. Thanx and great work man you are awesome

It will now be your first priority to give chewie a Bowcaster. omgliekthanks.

The cantina looks really crowded. You should have some AI, (I'm not familiar with JO AI, but I'm sure it's not much different from Q³)to where they'll start a bar fight with you, but at the door you should loose your weapons (for a period of time, until you leave the cantina) You should even be able to order drinks (GTA: VC style). My shift key is dying on me...

Thanks

And finally, the (test) site is:
http://editorsheaven.hypermart.net/jedikirby

he will give it to him evenutally DONT WORRY i think if hes spent all this time on it he wont give chewie a crappy imperial gun.

hey anybody: why is the lighting weird when dealing with the curvy things? i'm guessing their called patch meshes. i don't know. i guess i've read somewhere that they can't cast shadows and in these pics they show quite plainly where the seams are. it irks me a little. these pics are incredible, but i was wondering if this lighting-patch-mesh- thing is inherant to the way the Q3 engine works or if it can be countered.

You can light patches, Jepman just didn't use the -patchmeta switch when he compiled what you see there.

oh okay. just wanting to know. i plan to give this a shot once the new computer is all set up.

Like i said these shots are taken with fastest compile options.

My level takes over 24 hours to compile on final right now

Now I removed all light sources except the sun (and acutal light (spots and such)

It looks good, except that all the shadows are 100% black,,, :s

Cheers, Jepman

Hey, Jepman. Emon suggested you so i might as well ask. Can you do a skin for hekes project? Its a stormtrooper zombie type thing. If your interested just email me at shad0w89@yahoo.com

shadow what project are you doing, o and how old are u just curious?

[This message has been edited by Snoopfighter2 (edited December 14, 2002).]

OK, its a Imperial Mine level and it has some zombies in it, but of course theres no skin for it so...yeah


why do you want to know my age? I'm 13

Don't get me wrong, I don't know if Jepman will want to help or not, but I suggested him since he's a real nice guy and a great skinner.

yea i agree

I want him to help since he was supposed to be a beta tester but something happened so this is another way he can help

Erm, a zombie stormie??

Egawd, I can try, but I never did zombies, and have no clue how you can show a zomby over armor

Maker the armor bloody but ermm..

yea I'll give it a shot, l8tr, once i get back home

You could put holes in the armor.

Yea, holes with green goo

Emon help??

Now I removed all light sources except the sun (and actual spotlights)

It looks good, except that all the shadows are 100% black...

How do I fix that so the shadows arent that dark???

I thought of _minlight, but then that means I can't have anything almost pitch dakr in a level, like the prison block and stuff i wanted to be kinda like jabba's palace where han and chewie meet again

The radiosity with Q3Map2 should fix that.

Try to make the cantina look a little musty inside. I think a tanish light entity near windows, doorways, or other openings would give the effect.

You could use a very light fog brush at the cieling to create the effect of smoke and such, it would look great.

Smoke from cigars and such, by the way.

I love how my replies go completly unread and unnoticed by everyone...

he answered u...

I read yours, I just don't comment on every idea people give me

Why not, Jep?

Looks great. I was under the impression that SP JO was never going to happen, but this proves very wrong...

Just feels like... talking to a computer lol

well, did any of the ideas i gave you interest you...? Also if your looking for ideas of what the city is liek, ever played Ep 1: TPM tha game for PC. The part where your Qui-Gon and rome the city has some really cool SW themed ideas. Since i know you have most of the Architecture done you just need people to "inhabit" your city. Just giving you ideas, this will eb greatest SP SW game to date. Awesome job Jep.

Hehe, the achitecture is far from being done for this level

Its prolly about.... 50% max.

I still have over half the city to make, make an outer wall *detailed with buildings and such, make the imperial quarters (a whole big base you have to infiltrate).

So I'm guessing this will be pretty big.

I wish i had the tpm game here to play it and see some shots...

Anyone know where i could find shots of the game... :s


------------------
Cheers, Jepman

Emon, I didn't think about the fog use. Good point.

JEPMAN!!

You said your compile times take a really long time, right? I just learned that having GTKRadiant open and monitoring the BSP process slows it significantly. Turn off BSP monitoring options in preferences, and once you run the compile, shut GTKRadiant down into sleep mode (File menu).

Ya emon, i already had bsp monitoring off, and i had gtk radiant in sleep mod, when i was editing the map (i edit whilke i compiles)

Uh... I can't imagine it being a good thing to edit while compiling... If you do, save it under another file name temporarily. If the compiler is running while changes are being made to your map, that could get really icky...

50% already? Bloody hell... you haven't been working on it that long.

Cool, but Chewie needs a bowcaster

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

You people don't get it that Chewie having a bowcaster is of small importance right now?

Its annoying, you people seem to get hooked on the smallest, stupidest problem in the level. Maybe the fact that I can't light my level properly is a bit more of a problem then this? SO I KNOW HE NEEDS A FRIKKIN BOW, shut up about it already. Sheesh!

[This message has been edited by Jepman (edited December 18, 2002).]

Heehee, it's true.

People here are so obsessed with gun models, it's crazy. You look at the main page and different people post their NEW gun models(Which every one says is impressive anyway) which looks no different than the other uzi's or other machine guns that you see on here. It's just the same gun over and over again! What's so **** impressive about it!??!

Everything here is Imperial Base, Sith Arena, Spaceport, machine guns, Luke skins over and over again, a "Temple" that looks no different than the last, etc.

[This message has been edited by Poggle Zig (edited December 18, 2002).]

Lol, Zig. Can some of these gun modelers quit it with the assault rifle and/or hand gun models? This is a Star Wars game. Some more people might want to take the time to look into Stars-Wars-ish weaponry. I am probably going to attacked for what I just said . . . .

true very true but people dont really care its quite that simple. I am a newb and just this week took up modeling expecting some cool critism and people commenting. Instead Supers pen gets more replies in a day then my jedi(it must really suck or something since i made it myself and didnt reskin anything made by the gods at LEC) or watching people collaborate to rip on something like the bowcaster, people just shut the f*ck up unless it can help the author. I can see one person saying chewie needs a f*cking bowcaster but that moron is liek the 5th one... jeese im sorry but this is kinda getting out of control. Massassi= User made/based SW **** in general. (this excludes people who acutally intend on putting there guns into JO or JK like Team Battle TC since. Everyone else should showcase them a quake forums or something since we all now no matter how many people say "put in JK/JO" they never do.)
