- Merge tolerance in the exporter is 1mm or so - any vertices closer together than that are merged into one. We had problems with Boba's helmet so we decreased it, on BF1 it was 1CM or so. If you're using polys smaller than that then, well, you shouldn't be, said our character modeller. :^)

-softskin only works on XBox, so that's not much of an issue for you guys. Sorry...

- To do Force Crush from Ventress' side, you can just replace the OffhandAnimation for FIRE with something else that you make for Ventress - add it to her animation set, and reference it in her combo file - call it whatever you want. Also, if you can get an animation for the person being crushed made, I would use one of two methods to implement it. Keeping in mind that you can create a child weapon of Force Choke, and change the 'SoldierAnimation = "choking"' in the weapon's ODF to whichever animation you want...but to actually ADD that animation I would do one of two things:

1- Works only on melee-wielding units you add it to, but easy: Make your animation myguy_sabre_force_crush or something, add it to your character's animation set, then declare it (Animation("force_crush"); ) in the guy's combo file. If you do that, then the weapon should be able to play it on that specific character, provided our lazy lookup works the way you'd think it does...try having Force Choke play "attack1a" on the person being choked and see if that works against a Jedi, first. :^) Then see if it works against a rifle guy. Note that Grievous has no being-choked animation, so it plays stand_idle for him, and will default to that for anyone if they don't have the animation the weapon wants them to have, which is what it should do against the rifle guy. You MAY be able to add human_force_crush to human_4 and remunge it (and EVERY side!!) and have it work on everyone, but I wouldn't guarantee it.

-or-

2- Harder to do but SHOULD work on everyone. First, note that human_rifle_ is the base animation class for everyone...so what you do is you name your animation, say, human_rifle_prone_getup_stand, which is an animation that the game looks for to load but will never use (because prone is gone forever). And you put that animation in human_0, or human_4, and munge your new animation bank, then remunge all of the sides (hey, I SAID it was hard!) Then you have your weapon use "prone_getup_stand" instead of "choking", and it'll play your new animation.

Note that neither of these is supported or endorsed by me in any way, shape, or form - only suggested. (^.^)

Good luck...

@ Mini -- You'll also need to 'close' up her hands. Since there are no bones for the hands and fingers, you actually have to make the model's hands look like they are gripping the lightsaber. Oh, and if I might make one suggestion as far as a 'to-be' conversion -- Qui-Gon Jinn, by Toonces.

http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/QuiGon_Jinn;8781

Why? Well, it is Qui-Gon, but there are also excellent Cin Drillag and Quilan Vos skins for it. Plus, lots of different robe textures, which could lead to lots of different skins. I can get ahold of Toonces if you're interested.

@ Fnord ... I kinda got the gist of that... but, to me, that was a lot of gibberish. First question I really want to ask in regards to all that, is how does one make custom animations, exactly?

youd animate the skeleton that was supplied by psych0fred and export the animations and they are triggered by what theyre names are or soemthing like that.

Great work guys .

Is fred's skeletan allready ok for exporting? or do you have to do something with it in xsi 1st?

I was thinkin , that i dont really have time to make an all new jedi/player model yet but maybe i could just edit freds clone ,export it and add in the SWBF2 clone animations

Looks like this one:http://jediknight2.filefront.com/screen ... le/43465/1
Your friends already posted it...

I think this one more scary.

na the one for xbox looks nothin like the real asajj, and ipodzanyman, this model is neomarzs, im friends with him and he gave me permission to use it.

Wow... that model is AWFUL! She looks like a man!

ha Yeah "She" does...

Lol, 'she'.

Even an evil pale bald sithtress should have a right to be hot.

I dont like the saber nunchuckers :S

get rid of the pupils in her eyes .........she looks too pretty atm lol

i know but i like the realistic look to her cause she only had all white eyes in the CW cartoon and i hated that look for her (did i mention that already? ) we got the model done and errors fixed now its just onto making some custom animations and also making her skirt into a cloth mesh since she does have fully modeled and textured legs under there.

What else has she been in tho?

Male fantasies from time to time.

Kidding...

And there you go.

Star Wars: the Cestus Deception, actually describes her as striking and beautiful, as does Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, which I just finished.

I added a poll --- what force power would you like Asajj to have?

I left out Sith powers since she never was a true Sith, and even Darth Maul's power is rather neutral. Please vote, as Mini and I are almost done with version 1 of her (a release version).

Oh, I forgot to add -- there will be three versions on release one of Assaj:

Sith Apprentice - (two red blades)
Sith Hopeful -- like on Rattatak - (one green, one blue blade)
Padawan -- she was for a very short time -- (single blue blade) --for this one, who's combo system should we use? Anakin's? Ki-Adi's?

Why not make a new force power by editing existing effects?

i Asajj fights as secura`s style?
