Ah...my pets....aren't they adorable? Raised them from a pup. Coming to a download service to you!

Tiny Rancor -



Giant Rancor -



I still have some AI problems to fix out before I release it.

That's awesome looking. The texture on the hand is what caught my eye.

soo... you scaled the model down and up in the .npc file? or am i missing something?

Well Cazor, it looks like it might be fighting your side as an ally. Perhaps there are more details that we don't know. Maybe it gets more hp as it grows from a baby to an adult. The prospect of "raising" a rancor sounds pretty cool.

uhm... i doubt it actually grows... i dont think he was saying that literally. some kinda cute little story thing.

I think he just half-assed the already made rancor as an excuse to release a mod... but I'd LOVE to be proven wrong. Raising rancor and training/fighting them sounds like a Pokemon nockoff I can really love to hate.

Raising and stuff like that can not be done in SP. No source code. He just spent 5 minutes fiddling around with the npcs.cfg and sent it as a mod....

the think I hate about JO, is how there is inverse lighting on the models... the mouth area should be dark.. it looks like it's glowing... but I guess that's better than JK which has NO ligthing.. the model and textures look great though...

Spiral; that's because the models aren't self-shadowing. The normals inside the mouth face the light, so those surfaces are bright.

*Yawn*. Nothing to see here... models scaled with notepad by changing one number in a text file... move along...

There is no change in texture or model in this "mod." He didn't make the textures or models (they are the original things from the game).

He's also a new editor you can't compare his mod to someone who has been modding since the damn thing came out.

The difference, is that you don't release a mod where all you did was apply a new thing you learned. Echoman stated, in my knockoff thread, exactly how to change the size of models, so therefore, I could release 100s of mods, simply changing the size of different players. You know why I won't? Because it's so simple, anyone could do it. Mods are meant to change the game in a way that's original.

It's not like this is a lack of skill in modding, and I'm making fun of him for doing a poor job at resizing the rancor, it's that the only thing he did, was resize the rancor.

and i happen to think it would be fun to play with a huge, imposing rancor. So, what this mod accomplished THRU ADMITTEDLY SIMPLE MEANS, was to create an interesting visual aesthetic that some people, such as me, will enjoy.

There's no reason not to release this. It's like the tiny stormtrooper mod, it's fun and funny!

I think it would be more interesting if he followed you around and the more people he ate the bigger he got... kinda like a JA dinky dino.

cannot sleep, the rancor will eat me....

KotOR Rancors > JA Rancors.

Uh, what is the purpose of this mod?

Big rancor, small rancor . . . that it? Well, that isn't much at all. This isn't a significant mod.
