Ever need a beta tester, shout me up, the fact that you DID think of slowing him down and such promises MUCH :P

Now I'm getting all giddy for a user-end add-on level again. Hasn't happened in years. :P GIMMIE.

Does the light dynamically change on the floor when the chamber opens up? That would be awesome.

I was going to ask that myself, actually. It looks like it does, judging how the shots we see, the light looks correctly thrown across the floor for the amount open. It'll look freaking sweet if it does.

She was in the chat room just five minutes ago, so I'd say no.

AK: make an animated GIF of the chamber opening and closing :D

She asked for herself to be banned till after her exams so she wouldnt spend time here instead of doding exam stuff. She was unbanned for a bit the other day to post in the thread about gothicx, and when Holonet got borked, the ban list was cleared from there.
nope.

Nice...

Just a suggestion, would it be possible to mod force grip so that the people stay down longer? I'd think that after Vader choked 'em they would drop to the ground for at least a good ten seconds.

To counterbalance this you could make grip itself do no damage, as for slamming people into walls... >=D

New cutscene shot, Palpatine in holographic action:

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/15938.jpg]

Also, the reason it isn't transparent is because you can see the eye meshes through the face and the complete head mesh through the hood and it doesn't look menacing at all.

Some time this year.

I had originally planned on having it out before the film, but it's taken a lot longer than I'd thought. If this were JK/MotS, I would've finished it long ago.

#1: Are you doing lip syncing with voice actors? I can't imagine that'd be easy, but if you are, commends.

#2: My favorite character, the imperial guards, look like they're in battle mode, not 'stand silently, but deadly' mode. I don't know, is there any way to fix this?

#3: Are you going to be able to get timing right on the cutscenes? The only JA SP level I've seen with decent cutscenes still had REALLY bad timing. Is this a consistant error, or just lazy coding? I'm not familiar enough with JA.

#4: If you need ANY assistance with any models that aren't brush-friendly, ASK. I'm more than willing to assist a project that has shown so much advancement. I'm very proud to call you an editor :-P You get stuff done.

1) Yep. JA does it automatically.

2) Sounds like you need to change the behaviour state, not sure off hand.

3) Yes, timing is very important, and so are camera angles, both horribly overlooked in levels. I'm also timing the action with some classic Star Wars tracks.

4) Cheers mate. Appreciate the offer.

I was talking about the image of vader in front of the door with the guards. They look like they're ready to fight, not standing placidly with their robes hanging over them.

I don't have any Royal Guards in my level, you're probably thinking about DAK's The Rising Empire.

You got that right. Laziness is the correct answer. I should know because I've got first hand experience from my own projects... However, AK, the master of artistic cinematics, has marvellous timing, as far as I've seen in the betas.

That's really good work and a good model, but it doesn't look like Palpatine.
