One Wing/Beast/Rugg ...

Is there an 'official' RJSkinPak ... one where all the RJ skins are 'rolled-up' into a single *.pk3? Is there one for everyone yet (sans the stormtrooper)?

It might be nice to be able to put the entire pak up for download/rating at JK2 files or pcgamemods, etc. Even if they were in one pak file for download off our site (additionally), that would be great, too.

JayBaen: YES

Tyrannus: NO (though Angel was working on it, I think)

TheNewtKing: NO (and doesn't want one)

Huma: NO (but likes his underoos)

Ruggiero: YES (though for some reason it doesn't work in jk3: my chest is missing)

Kyzene: NO (though likes his hotpants)

OneWingAngel: YES (rj-trebor?)

TheBeast: YES

Equanimity: YES

Also, there is the Infinite Skin with the hidden RJ-Tartan, though she thinks its too 'girly.'

It would be easy to roll them into one, but perhaps Tyr's should get finalized, and Huma needs pink frilly things on those underoos.

Who said anything about her being too 'girly'? huh.gif Sure wasn't me. mad.gif

As for the RJ skins... I asked Angel about this a while back and he was apparently AFK. Been wondering about it. They're too good to leave hanging in such small circles.

And what of the Jedi Desaan? Anxious to meet him. wink.gif

Posted by: OneWingAngel Nov 8 2003, 04:08 PM

I know I know; I've been slacking when it comes to skinning I will try to get on it again. As for Jedi Desann, I'm thinking of releasing it as a beta without the sith version, hopefully I will get other peoples opinion which will allow me to make the most awesomest Jedi D IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAH. Yes, well I'll see what I can do about the other unfinished skins. It would help if they could e-mail me which some idea of whatt they want:)

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 8 2003, 05:24 PM

Euh... well... Angel,

If I can lend you a hand, I surely will, don't be afraid to ask... smile.gif

Even if I ain't that much of theskinner type... more of the modeler one smile.gif

And that would be NICE, if we could get all these skin into one cool pk3, and btw Rugg... what do you find girly about The Rj version of the Infinite Skin???

- Beast

Posted by: JayBaen Nov 9 2003, 12:50 AM

Glad to see you're still interested in making a combined .pk3 OneWing. Let me know if we need to email a few people for input.

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 23 2003, 04:48 PM

OK I see there's not much interest in this anymore... but I really think this could be a cool idea... getting all our RJ skin in one pk3.

I'm going to work on this, but before we make it official... all the RJ that don't have there RJ skin should raise their hands... make a wierd sound... and then get down on theirs knees and pray ... well maybe not all those thing... but PM me or email me or just wirte a reply in this thread and we'll see what we can do.

Be advised that if I don't get any answer to this by like next friday... I'm gonna put together the skin we have now and you'll be forever left out of this cool skin pack smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 23 2003, 05:23 PM

You can proceed with the creation of my skin, if there is one. I would just like a little "RJ sparkle" to the Dooku skin. That's all. You can do whatever else you want with it.. I'd just like a skin that wasn't mainstream; I fear the day I'm staring into the eyes of someone similarly aged to me!

Posted by: JayBaen Nov 24 2003, 07:40 AM

Do know that OneWingAngel did put up a 'shout' about this two weeks or so ago. I'm not sure what he's heard back, if anything from the few that are left. Beast, you may want to contact him directly via e-mail and see if he knows anything else.

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 24 2003, 11:08 AM

Tyr: OK I'll work on that and send you screenshot as soon as I have something that will ressemble a Rj Sparkle smile.gif

Jay: OK... noted... I will contact ONeWingAngel

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 24 2003, 03:14 PM

Sounds great, Beast. I have some custom taunts in mind that I'd like the model to have (given the amount Outcast models can hold). We can chat about those whenever you are ready..

Posted by: JayBaen Nov 24 2003, 05:17 PM

I'm so afraid of the possibilities ...

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 26 2003, 11:04 PM

Anytime Tyr... leave a PM or email so we can setup an 'meeting' smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 27 2003, 01:45 AM

Here is a screenshot of the 'beta' version of the RJ Dooku skin... I wanted to had a little something... it doesn't look that right... it needs more work... but I was looking for suggestions... from anyone that can give them smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: *HAMSTAR* Nov 27 2003, 01:08 PM

I wonder what he would look like without that skirt or the cape or even both. can they be removed?

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 27 2003, 02:48 PM

Ham: They can be 'turned off'... I'll check that out and post a new screenshot.

Thx for the sugestion.

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 28 2003, 05:56 AM

That looks really great, Beast. Wow.. that cape looks very authentic. I love it! I'm not so sure about that green.. armor, I'm guessing? Well.. I'll have to test it out in-game, but it looks very good at the moment. I'll be giddy in anticipation of the next update.

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 28 2003, 04:33 PM

OK... we are Friday... and I have had many comebacks on this thread... so Angel and I are working on the skin that you have requested from us.

As you can see... I have begun by the Dooku one for Tyr... (By the way... I meant that armor to be kind of a dark yellow... but it was kinda hard to get smile.gif)

And we have received unofficial request from

- Deacon : For a Rj twist on teh shadowtrooper skin
- Kyzene : For a new reborn skin

I didn't have the chance to talk to Darkside about this... but I see he lokes the RJ reborn skin... if you want your name added to the request list... just let me know Dark.

- Beast

Posted by: OneWingAngel Nov 28 2003, 09:08 PM

Wow, I mean wow. Beasto, that is freaking awesome. As for what is missing, perhaps make his surrounding areas (arms, legs) a dark red like this

Posted by: Ruggiero Nov 28 2003, 10:05 PM

NICE WORK! However, you have yet to put in the version with the diaper.....

Rugg

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 28 2003, 11:43 PM

Nice idea OneWing... Here is what it does with the yellow-greenish armor smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: JayBaen Nov 29 2003, 01:20 AM

If only we could have Custom Hilts in the Academy mod ... who wouldn't be up for designing a cane?

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 29 2003, 03:27 AM

Angel - Are there any RJ logos on your version? I think that a logo some where on it would helpful for our clan.. seeing as I do most of the crushing. happy.gif


Beast - I like it.. however, I like Angel's idea of darker colors on the chest. Perhaps make it so I can switch between? (ex. /set model tyrannus/armor)

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 29 2003, 07:53 AM

Tyr - No problem... but the real question is... do you like the armor... if your answer is yes... then we just have to found a way to make it a color that you'll be proud wearing.

You said that you wanted a dark color... let me look into that

- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 29 2003, 08:03 AM

Is this more to your liking Tyr ???

- Beast

Posted by: JayBaen Nov 29 2003, 08:54 AM

Looking great, both of you. Thx again for all the work.

LMAO!

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 29 2003, 01:58 PM

I love that one, Beast... however, I still love Angel's (mostly because it resembles my former skin, giving an already built love more power). Don't make me decide! I'd just like to be able to switch between.. kind of like being able to put on battle armor or not. I'd definitely be proud to wear either of those skins!

Posted by: TheBeast Nov 29 2003, 02:54 PM

Tyr: Oh... i get it... I just thought you were taking the 'easy' way out smile.gif By that I mean that you were asking for both skin just because you didn't want to disappoint any of us (Angel or Me)

But if you like both... then who are we to stop you ??? smile.gif

I'm gonna get in touch with Angel so he can send me his version of the skin... and I'll make a beta pk3 for you to test it out in the game.

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Nov 29 2003, 03:21 PM

Sounds great. Thanks a lot! laugh.gif

Lemme slap a swoosh on it and I'll send it to ya Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 1 2003, 11:50 AM

The testing is underway... Well tyr has it... and we are waiting for him to say if he really likes it or not...smile.gif

On another note... I'll be working on a reborn Skin for Kyzene... and I'll submit it for suggestion as always... so don't change the channel... err... keep coming here if you want to see the skin before everyone else smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: JayBaen Dec 1 2003, 02:33 PM

Beasty ...

Remember to give me any skins you have so that I can incorporate them onto the server ... smile.gif

Thx,

JB

Posted by: Deacon Dec 1 2003, 02:47 PM

Okay, skin ideas...

I rather like the shadowtrooper model.

What I would like, and I request that you abuse your artistic license here, is a skin that is based on the shadowtrooper model.

I would love a skin that has the armor of the shadowtrooper with the markings of the RJ clan (beta) skin.

Some, or all, of the underarmor (black mid section and joints) could be translucent, but this is not required. For this effect, I like the cloaktrooper skin. It appears that they use a shader to create a "cloaked" appearance.

Some type of robe or cloak would be cool, but I'm not sure if that would detract from the overall effect of the model.

That being said, I love the blue model; however, I would not be opposed to a deep blue or red model.

Please email me or post here if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks,

Deacon

Posted by: Tyrannus Dec 1 2003, 03:44 PM

I tested the skin for roughly 30-50 minutes on a server I created, and it is really great. I would only change the main taunt and the representing icon (it's the same as the other one.. you don't have to change it if you don't want to). Other than that, I'd just like to know one thing: what would the armor model look like with no cloak? I'm thinking it could look very cool. It's up to you if you want to try that out.. I'm just interested in how it'll look.



Overall, I like the skin. The minor changes stated above are my only gripes. Great job, guys! I can't wait to get this mainstream... laugh.gif



[I'll e-mail you or talk to you in-game with taunt ideas... ]

Posted by: JayBaen Dec 1 2003, 03:46 PM

I'm glad you're going to continue sporting the ol' Dooku skin ... it suits you so well. I can't much imagine you in anything else.

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 1 2003, 06:22 PM

Nice to see you like the Skin Tyr.

1. For the taunt... I'll wait for you to contact me or Angel.
2. For the armor Model without cape... I'll look into it and see what I can do
3. For the 2 Icons... I was waiting for a 'final' skin and someone to test it with, so we can take good screenshot and make great Icon oout of them

Tyr: Go back to the adress I gave you in the PM... and get the new PK3 in like 1 or 2h... you'll have a version of the armor skin with no cape accessible when you'll write :

model rjdooku/armornc

(nc for no cape smile.gif)

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Dec 1 2003, 06:34 PM

Gah.. I'm so stupid. I deleted that message after I downloaded the skin.. mad.gif Could you send me a new link?

Posted by: Deacon Dec 1 2003, 07:01 PM

Send me the link too. I'm willing to be a tester if you need one.

--Deacon

Posted by: OneWingAngel Dec 1 2003, 08:10 PM

Oo Ooo and me too

Posted by: OneWingAngel Dec 1 2003, 08:33 PM

Also, Deacon I think I can handle your skin there won't be a model with a cloak however, but I'll see what I can do with those invisible joints:)

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 2 2003, 02:07 AM

here is the link misters smile.gif

http://www.geocities.com/samsters3000/index.html

But be advised that this isn't the final version of the pk3... you'll have to download it one more time, when we launch the official version smile.gif

Deacon: Being a modest modeler and all... I'll see what I can do about that cloak... but that will be after I get Ky skin request done... cause those modeling project just take too much time smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Deacon Dec 2 2003, 02:16 AM

np on the cloak... that was an after though. I did see something tonight that might be good to replace the cloaked joints though... In sublime 3, Rugg made a water shader that is amazing. Perhaps we can get one cloaked and one with water to see how they look.

Also, that might be a good update for the water elemental skin smile.gif

Thanks.

Deacon

Posted by: Ruggiero Dec 2 2003, 11:23 AM

RJRodian in JK3 is missing his chest! It is invisible.... has this been fixed?

Rugg

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 2 2003, 12:20 PM

Rugg : Not by me... but I could take a look

- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Dec 2 2003, 12:51 PM

Thanks, beasty!

He just needs to be fixed for Academy.... not for jk2. Is the path different for sounds in JK3? Do all the files have to be altered for that or just the directory structure for the jk3 pk3's?

Rugg

Posted by: Tyrannus Dec 2 2003, 04:54 PM

I tested the 'new' skin.. and I'm not so sure about the no cloak. I guess the cloak is just a part of me, and to be without it leaves me feeling a bit empty. Well, I like what you have now.. if you want to complete it. For the taunt.. I'll e-mail you the ideas right now, Beast. The rest is up to you. If you need my help with the icon, then just e-mail or whatnot..

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 3 2003, 12:50 PM

Rugg : About the RJ Rodian skin missing his chest in JK3... I think I found the problem... but I don't have any solution.

The skin has a model_default.surf file... this fill is used in JK2 to tell JK2 that when it load the skin, the parts stated in the *.surf file must be on or off.

In the RJRodian case, the torso_vest is surfed off and the torso_argument_off (that is behind the vest) is surfed on. But I think JK3 may not be working properly with the *.surf file... well I don't see anything beside this thing that could lead to a problem.

I'll try to dig up something on this and return with the solution... in the mean time if anyone knows what i'm talking about and know a way to fix this... I could surely need your help smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Dec 3 2003, 02:51 PM

Sounds like you are hot on the trail!

Rugg

Posted by: OneWingAngel Dec 3 2003, 09:15 PM

About the RJRodian issue, I was reading something a little while age and apparently for JK3 the skinning prossess is much like the JK2 prosses accept there is something that you have to add in the skin file I cant remember what though. Might be worth checking into wink.gif

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 11 2003, 02:14 PM

Hey all... I'm again 'fishing' for suggestion.... I did a bit of work on the Reborn Skin for Ky.

So here it is... the alpha version ... and bear in mind that I just couldn't take away the hotpants from the man smile.gif

And by the way... I,m not that happy with the color of the hood... but I just don't know how I could make it better... need a bit more thinking on that issue

- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Dec 11 2003, 02:58 PM

WOW beast!

Looks great!

A couple of things: when the model is played, will the white get too bright when it is lit up for a duel? Second, will there be color variations on the suit?

Geez, my little RJRodian is looking positively SLOPPY these days.

Rugg

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 11 2003, 03:37 PM

Rugg: Didn't test it in game... but the white is kinda of brownish... I wanted to keep the details (folds and all)... so if it's too bright... I could always make it a bit more brownish.

About the color variation... there will be a red and a blue version of this skin... I don't know exactly what I,m gonna do for this... but it will come to me in time smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Kyzene Dec 11 2003, 08:10 PM

Beast.....youre amazing ^^ its great! the only problem i could possibly find with are the boots....maybe if they were darker? and ya i agree with the hood thing and with rugg on the possible light problem but other than that.....i see no reason why not to build a shrine in beast's honor happy.gif


Ky

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 11 2003, 11:52 PM

Well here you go Ky... darker boots... and I just don't know what to do with this dang hood... I've been experimenting with this for an hour and this is what I came up with.

Judge for yourself... and those who have that artistics eye... could you think about lending it to me for a moment so I may figure this thing out smile.gif

- Beast

EDIT:

Rugg: I've tested the model in game and the white isn't blinding at alll... I,ve acheived what I wanted... you can still see the details... but... because I did not have JA 1.4 installed I could not test the duel thing.... so we will have to see about that.

Posted by: Deacon Dec 12 2003, 08:41 PM

Wow! Looks great.

As for the hood, the only problem that I see is the blend between light and dark. That stark contrast makes the line seem pixilated.

How about doing a thin solid band of coloror a thin band of the pattern from the top of the hood around the edge? This should blend the light and dark areas together.

-D

Posted by: OneWingAngel Dec 13 2003, 01:34 PM

Wow! Very nice Beasto! But what to do with the hood?...... hmmmm..... I'd say darken the white part of him so the hood gaunlets and boots aren't in so much contrst with it

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 13 2003, 04:18 PM

Dang Contrast

it was kind of the idea to make him white (just because I never saw a white skin before (and maybe there is a reason ))... so I'm going to try to soften the contrast a bit.

Here is a new screenie

I kind of figured something for the hood... what so you think ???

- Beast

Posted by: DaRkSiDe Dec 13 2003, 05:16 PM

Woah Beast, that looks really nice. smile.gif Looks like Ky will be happy with that

Posted by: Kyzene Dec 13 2003, 07:37 PM

beast you the BEST EVER!


Ky

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 14 2003, 01:11 PM

Well... because Ky seem to like it (thx Ky btw smile.gif)... I decided to make the beta version of the pk3.

Here is the link where you can get it:
http://www.geocities.com/samsters3000/index.html

I need someone to test the dueling 'brightness' issue... And send me a screenshot if possible.

If all is OK... then Rugg could you pease help me with the bot files ??? biggrin.gif

And btw, there is a Default, red and Blue version already... be free to test them all.

Thx
- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Dec 14 2003, 08:17 PM

Beast,

The skins look great! only thing I might suggest is for tyr's that the sounds be made a bit louder.... they are a little hard to hear in game... I am not sure you can adjust the 'volume' tag in the MP3. I think it has to be done in an AIFF file then reconverted to a tagless mp3... but I am not sure.

THEY LOOK AWESOME.

Rugg

Posted by: DaRkSiDe Dec 15 2003, 09:12 PM

I have to agree with rugg. Tyr's new model is lookin pretty nice in battle.
The armour looks awesome as well. Just wanted to say nice job on it.

-DS

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 16 2003, 06:58 AM

I'll look into the taunt... I hap problem with the recording volume because the sound on the DVD is so low... and I found a way to play with the volume tag directly in the mp3... I will rerecord them and them get them a bit louder.

As on Tyr demands... I experimented on different color suit... Some screenies can be found at the same link but by clicking on the the new link I added ('Different Colored Suits' bellow the 'RJ Dooku Skin' link)

Just tell me the one you like most... And I,m talking to you Tyr smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Tyrannus Dec 16 2003, 08:39 PM

Me likey! Those screenshots are great, Beast. I like the Green-Blue best. It looks very well done! I liked the Green and also Yellow, as well, but will have to test them in-game. Which I'll be doing.. now (depending on if you have the updated version with the link).

Posted by: Tyrannus Dec 25 2003, 02:46 PM

It's time to put my skin to rest.. let's finish this thing off!


*Points to above post* Changing a bit on further look..


I really love those skins, Beast. You do great work! Unfortunately, your work is too good.. I like all of them! However.. I have thought of a way to possibly make this work. Hear me out:

- We still need team colors, so we make a different color (purple, yellow, or green) the main one. The red and green-blue colors can be the two team colors.

- Whichever two other skins are not chosen, make them able to be drawn out by /model rjdooku/(color).

- The armor. I don't necessarily want to get rid of it, but, if the file is too large, toss it. If not too big, then, by all means, leave that sucker in.


Well, tell me how you like the plan. If you like it, we can then decide which color should be main/hidden. Until then..

-Tyrannus the Mighty

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 28 2003, 05:21 PM

OK Tyr... your plan sounds nice... but the problem with all those skins, is that I have to duplicated the torso and legs files for all the skins... but these files beings only 225K (together), even if we add all those up, we won't end up with a big file to download.

I'll see what I can do about those skin and the building of the PK3... I'll try to work on those tuants as soon as I have the time (after January 1st) and we'll get this done before mid January... how does that sound Tyr ???


- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 28 2003, 05:24 PM

And about Ky's skin... which is not that far from finished... I was thinking about that brightness issue, when dueling with a white skin. But then I discovered an excellent comparison to get an idea of something TOO bright.

- Try dueling with the Stormtrooper skin (the regular one)

and when you'll be dueling with the RJReborn one, you won't ever find it too bright smile.gif

So, if KY gives me the OK.... I'll send it to Rugg, so he can build the Botfiles... and when it's finished, it will be available in the downlaod Section...

So Ky???
So Rugg ???

What do you think

- Beast

Posted by: Deacon Dec 29 2003, 02:49 PM

Addressing the brightness of the rjreborn skin, I have been using it (When Ky isn't aroung smile.gif ) and I have not had any problems with the skin being visually overpowering. IMHO, I would not change the skin... unless Ky has issues with it.

Just thinkin'...

--Deacon

Posted by: Kyzene Dec 29 2003, 07:51 PM

go ahead...i think the skins perfect....i love it ^^


Ky

Posted by: TheBeast Dec 29 2003, 09:10 PM

For those botfiles... we need some kind of 'one liners' you would like your Bot to say.

So Ky, think of something... and post it here when you'll have find it.

I feel bad now.. it seems that my skin is causing trouble for you, Beast. You don't have to work on it so much.. just fit it in whenever it is good for you. I'm not that important, am I? huh.gif

Posted by: Equanimity Jan 12 2004, 05:14 PM

Beast, just for that, I think you ought to do us all a favor and make Tyr a PINK AND FRILLY costume with a big RJ logo on it. smile.gif smile.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 13 2004, 02:44 PM

Tyr... I,m not working... THAT hard on your skin...smile.gif And yes you ARE that important smile.gif

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 20 2004, 10:35 AM

Well Tyr... I'm having problem with the taunts...

The fact is that if I get them from the DVD ( I own smile.gif), well I can only get to a certain level of volume ... and this is not enough for the game... because if I get those directly in game, we won't even hear the sound.

So I have to play with the volume of the mp3... and when I 'augment' it... then I get a bit of distorsion. So that is why the sound clip I added (Now Back down, I would have thought you had learned your lessons) are not that 'sharp'... even if I think they are at an acceptable level.

So... I think I remember Rugg talk about changing the volume by converting the mp3 to a AIFF file... then playing with the volume and then switching back to the mp3. But I don,t quite know how to do this.

Rugg, would you mind helping me a bit ???

But, Tyr... you can always retest the last pk3 I sent (the one with all the colored skin, green being default) and tell me what you think again... if you really want those pain sound to sound a bit more sharp... tell me... and if Rugg is willing to help me... I'll send him the sound clip.

Getting closer to closing the deal with this RjDooku skin smile.gif

Update on teh RJreborn Skin:

It is ready... I'm done with the skinning, I've done the icon (the thing you see at the top right of the screen), and I'm ready to include those botfiles.

So Rugg... when you're ready smile.gif

Btw, Rugg... if you don't have enough 'one liner' for Ky's bot... just tell me and we could find some by ourself in a little session on AIM.

And yesternight... I decided I needed an update for my RJ Mace skin... so here how it looks like smile.gif

Posted by: OneWingAngel Jan 20 2004, 05:05 PM

I must say I do agree with this whole pink prom dress for Ty, and as for the RJMace up date WOW, I mean WOW

Posted by: Equanimity Jan 20 2004, 05:11 PM

Alright, I think I'll be wearing RJMace from now on... wink.gif

Well, that's it. I'll never beat him again. I'll just be looking at all those fantastic details to make sure I'm not missing anything. *Sigh*

Posted by: Tyrannus Jan 21 2004, 08:56 PM

Wait.. are you saying that you already sent me a link with updated color skin, Beast, or are you suggesting that you could send me a link with it?

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 21 2004, 11:31 PM

Well... i thought I sent you the new link... but it seems that I did not... so here it is smile.gif

Just redownload the RJDooku Skin... I updated the pk3

Posted by: Equanimity Jan 23 2004, 10:32 AM

Is there any chance that RJTyrion might be updated after all these other projects are done? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Some ideas for the skin I was thinking about:

- Have a version of the skin be totally invisible wink.gif
- All black cloth, with a small RJ logo on the chest
- A version with transparent legs (from the knee down) smile.gif

Dare I dream?

Posted by: CatFlea X Jan 23 2004, 11:05 AM

hey EQ

how about from the waist down??

then it will look like ya just floating! biggrin.gif

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 23 2004, 11:22 AM

Maybe EQ... if we can get the Tyr and Ky skin project closed... I may have time to tweak the RJtyrion Skin smile.gif

Beast - You are awesome, man biggrin.gif

Posted by: CatFlea X Jan 23 2004, 03:42 PM

lol EQ, no

just think it would be fun if you dont have legs at all, then your just floating

Posted by: Equanimity Jan 23 2004, 04:05 PM

Catflea, what name do you use in-game? Either I have a very poor memory, or we have never clashed sabers. smile.gif

Posted by: CatFlea X Jan 23 2004, 06:09 PM

We have never clashed sabers b4, but I go under the name CatFlea X or .N|BlackIce|R.

I was on JA server for like 3 hours (just got off now) I have to go to bed now, I will try and catch ya some time 2moro if I am in, see how we do smile.gif

Talk to ya later bro

Posted by: Equanimity Jan 25 2004, 12:45 PM

Hey Beast, did you upload RJMace onto the downloads section already?

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 27 2004, 01:57 PM

No Eq... it's not finished...I,m still experimenting with some things and I have to redo the icons.

But... don't worry... I'll send it to Jay as soon as it's done.

- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 31 2004, 01:43 PM

Well here it is... I finally decided to pack the RJ Mace Skin (v2)... It's as the last screenshot displayed it... because I wanted to do something on the arms... some kind of bracer or something... but it never look good enough so.. I scrapped the idea... redone the Icon and here it is.

Be advise that this is a BETA version... I did not test the botfiles... and I,m still fishing for suggestion... Cuase I,m still thinking something is missing to make this 'special'... smile.gif

Just follow the link :

http://www.geocities.com/samsters3000/rjmace.html

Jay or Rugg: Could you add it to the server please ??? smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Jan 31 2004, 02:03 PM

Beast... this would mean we have to delete the other rjmace? Is there a way you can set this to be rjmace2 and change its file paths so it doesn't cause conflicts with previous versions?

Posted by: TheBeast Jan 31 2004, 02:07 PM

No they can coexist in the base folder of JK2 or JK3 without any problems.

For al my new skin, I always change the folder (or model) name... so it keeps me from making my test phase troublesome (would have to move the orignal RJMace, then put the new one each time I want to test it, and then put the original back when I go online... this is not for me smile.gif)

But... I still recommend to delete the old one, because it doesn't look as good as this one and nobody will be wearing it in no time smile.gif

- Beast

EDIT: Oh by the way... the skin name is rjmace_v2 (so you would have to type '/model rjmace_v2' in the console)

EDIT 2 : Yes, the pk3 name is different too smile.gif (did not think it was worth posting a new one about smile.gif)

Posted by: Ruggiero Jan 31 2004, 02:29 PM

is the pk3 name different too?

EDIT: It's on the server.

Posted by: Equanimity Feb 2 2004, 05:38 PM

Beast, I saw RJ Mace had 3 different colors. How do you activate the others?

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 2 2004, 05:43 PM

there supposed to be the team color.

So, you can select the team color in the player profile or just type this in the console :

model rjmace_v2/blue
or
model rjmace_v2/red

biggrin.gif

- Beast

Posted by: InfiniteWarrior Feb 2 2004, 06:56 PM

Incredible job on those, Beast! And the robed one... Whoa!

Speaking of the orange one, it would make a great stand-alone skin, I think. Then you could adjust the orange (or blue) to adhere more to the shade of red on the default for the red team skin and you'd have - what? - five unique skins in the pack, including the robed version. It's already gone above and beyond the call for diversity, of course, but the orange one really stands out for me on its own. I'd hate to see it get lost in the shuffle because someone prefers defaults over team skins. Just a thought....

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 4 2004, 03:32 PM

Well I had 30 min to spare (kill) and I remembered that EQ wanted something done with his skin... so here it is... a mini revamp of the RJtyrion skin... and the new Rj Tyrion Family smile.gif

I didn't touch at any of OneWingAngel work... I just added some skin and added a 'sith' version of it... I'll be working on it when I'll have more time to spare smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: *HAMSTAR* Feb 4 2004, 04:00 PM

wow those look great beast I can't wait til all of this is finished. happy.gif

Wow, that looks pretty nice Beast. smile.gif

Posted by: OneWingAngel Feb 4 2004, 05:44 PM

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!! Better than I could have done. Very, VERY nice

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 5 2004, 08:05 PM

Hi all... I just uplaoded a beta version on my free webhosting service... so downlaod away to get the feeling of what is going on for the RJ Tyrion Skin.

EQ: I don't know if you really wanted somehing done to the 'default' skin... but you can always check out what has been done. Btw I changed the sith version a bit... but did not change the screenie I made of the RJ Tyrion Family... so, downlaod it and test it in a created server to see what I did smile.gif

http://www.geocities.com/samsters3000/index.html

- Beast

EDIT: Oh and here are the command (type in console) to get all the skin included in this file

1. model rjtyrion_v2
2.. model rjtyrion_v2/skin
3. model rjtyrion_v2/ghost
4. model rjtyrion_v2/sith
5. model rjtyrion_v2/sithskin
6. model rjtyrion_v2/sithghost
7. model rjtyrion_v2/robed

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 23 2004, 02:16 PM

So ... Deacon... what do you think about this for your RJ Skin ???

(others are also welcome to reply smile.gif)

- Beast

Posted by: Ruggiero Feb 23 2004, 03:36 PM

Love Deacon's skin, though perhaps something could be put under it... like a shader or something, which would pulse, and make him opaque... (cf. tron skin)

Rugg

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 23 2004, 04:04 PM

Thx Rugg,

That would be a good idea... I don't have that much understanding about the way the Tron skin really works (well the shader)... but I think I could make something similar for Deacon, if he wants to smile.gif

About Ky Botfiles: here are my ideas


- The pain... (Died or BelovedKilled)
- "Oh... the lag..." or "That was the lag!" or "Did you feel it ??? (lag spike)" or "Come, I'll show you the power of the lag" (and everything else related to his dial up access to the web smile.gif)
- Come join me in the smallest room of this map (Bot Greeting)
- Did you see that Ankle-Bitter ??? (Killed)
- Ya, I agree (Order Confirmed)

And there's always the "Where's the baby room?" (submitted by Tyrannus) and
"Doh! My ping is always high. I hate dial-up!" (Submitted by Deacon and altered by Ky)


- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 23 2004, 06:25 PM

I just wondered how the Deacon skin would look in Tron's style... and here it is.

Only works in game though (not in ModView)

- Beast

EDIT: Oh and I can change the blue color very easily

Posted by: DaRkSiDe Feb 23 2004, 06:59 PM

Damn, thats nice smile.gif
The blue doesnt really look so awesome with it. but still, it looks pretty sick

Posted by: Deacon Feb 25 2004, 09:03 AM

The first one is close to what I was thinking... actually, closer than I described which freaks me out wink.gif.

Continuing with the first one, I would love ideas on what should fill in the space between
a) Mist/Smoke
cool.gif Energy
c) Cloak trooper shader
d) fire FIRE! fire... heh heh HEH
e) somthing else?

After that, I would remove some of the solid sections and rust some of the remains large sections.

I'm thinking "old" for the skin.

The second one, I'd have to see in that one in game. The blue and the rustish colors really clash (even for those of us who have problems seeing blues and greens). smile.gif

Thanks for the great work!

-Deacon

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 25 2004, 10:22 AM

Well... glad you like it smile.gif

A bit of precision on the second one. It was a test... I tweaked teh shader from the Tron skin and copied the needed file to the shadowtrooper skin folders so I would see how it works. And the color of the default Tron is blue... so I ended up with blue... not that great a color for the skin... but as I said... it is easily changeable.

About the first one and what should go inside... With my very basic skills with shaders... I may be able to make those ideas works... but in a very limited manner... and by that I mean... if you choose fire for example... I wouldn't be able to make it move... it would just glow/pulse... like the Tron Skin.

Btw... This is the one I tested...and even if it did not move... it lloked great... maybe because the color (orange, red, and yellow) are more 'attuned' to the skin.

Another thing... would you define 'energy' ??? smile.gif Cause energy would be something like the test skin (same color(blue or something else) all over and pulsing).

- Beast

EDIT: Oh and about the rust... it is difficult to see... but the base color for the skin is a rusty brown... I applied after a bit of Yellow and red on some part to give it a RJ feel. A bit difficult to see in the screenshots.... but it is there. I really thing that the rust is the kind of detail that you can only appreciate if you know it's there... it cannot be too 'evident' because then you would loose the color on the majority of the plates (they'll only be rust on them). But hey... you're the one who's gonna be wearing the skin... so tell me what you want smile.gif

Posted by: Deacon Feb 25 2004, 11:34 AM

Can you send me a copy of the file so that I may see it in the game? From there I should be able to provide some feedback. smile.gif

Looks great (and the model does too!),

--Deacon

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 25 2004, 12:15 PM

Here you go... click http://www.geocities.com/samsters3000/deacon.html... and you'll be able to download it.

Tell me what you think

- Beast

EDIT: This is the one with FIRE inside cool.gif

Posted by: Deacon Feb 26 2004, 07:50 PM

I think the idea of the fire was cool, but I just couldn't get into it. The reds just to seem to work well together, but I love the effect!

Do you have the cloaktrooper transparent version of the skin?

I'm going to look at the skin again tonight and see how it looks from the third person POV.

Thanks,

--Deacon

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 26 2004, 09:39 PM

I didn't... but I just got it to see what it was about.

And I saw what you mean.

I understand it must be kind of hard to tell me exactly what you want... without... telling me something... then I cook up a new pk3 and you watch what has been done.

Something that would save some time is pinning the part of the issue of what should be under the plates of armors.

- Do you want it to be opaque or transparent ???

Next we can decide what kind of effect you want:

- Will it be a tron-style effect, cloaked trooper-style effect, just a collor doing nothing or something else ???

If you go with a something else... please give me some reference (like cloaked trooper).

Then... I will try to do what you asked for... and you'll be the judge smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: Deacon Feb 27 2004, 06:43 PM

Sounds good to me. I'm a bit swamped at work right now... deadline on Monday. I'll work on the idea tonight and tomorrow and post the info.

Thanks again.

--Deacon

Posted by: TheBeast Feb 28 2004, 01:27 AM

No prob Deacon... I understand the fact to be swamped at work smile.gif

So nothing is rush here... don't waste time when you could be doing work and make your life easier in the weeks to come.

So I can wait a bit...smile.gif

- Beast

Posted by: TheBeast Mar 2 2004, 07:37 PM

Well a great moment in RJ history is coming about...smile.gif

Tyrannus' RJ Dooku skin is finally done.

I will send a copy to Jay and Rugg by email and you should be able to find it real soon on the server and on the download page.

*Breathing a sigh of relief* tongue.gif

- Beast

EDIT: Btw... Tyr... you will have to redownload it from the downlaod page... I found some glitches... and the botfiles weren't quite right...smile.gif

Posted by: TheBeast Mar 2 2004, 08:33 PM

WEll... I updated all the skin on my free webhosting site... so you can get them from there too.

But... as always... I recommend getting them from the download page.... you'll be sure that you are getting the right skin... well the one that is on the servers.

Posted by: JayBaen Mar 28 2004, 11:10 PM

Beasty,

How big do you see all the RJskins when rolled up into one zip file for downloading?

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Mar 29 2004, 08:59 PM

Something close to 15 mb (well if I take all the skins I have (not all in their final version))... we are looking at 12.3 mb total.

Is it too much ???

- Beast

Posted by: JayBaen Mar 30 2004, 06:30 AM

No,

It's dandy. It just seems with all the verisions floating around, it would be nice to have one 'pak' that's constantly being updated with all the final versions for downloading.
