I haven't seen this thread in about a day. Progress is great! Kudos to Wazmol69 with the released models, good work!

A few things I think we should convert next:

- Anakin's fighter (just put it into MSH)
- C-3PO
- Kit Fisto (I think that it's a player model, might just be a reskinned proprietary one - in that case, don't convert)
- What Dohnutt said

Check my post on Pg 5 for links.

As for the Clones Ultima pack - I'm all for converting it.

Dare I say it but BF2 has a new page to its book.

And the cybernetic maul looks awesome also I like the dooku a lot better than the one we have now.

Could we make these units playable?

Don't understand why they wouldn't be playable. Just a different MSH, that's all...

As for that new page in SWBF2 history - I feel happy inside. :P

Cool new lightsabers. 8) I always thought the BF2 flashlight models looked awful :lol:
No offense man but that seems pretty pointless. We already have a lot of accurate models that could come nearly identical to those Ultima ones with a simple reskin. Converting them is just a lot of unnecessary extra work :?

@Z13: I'm liking your model :)

Oh gosh no trainmaster, I didn't make that model. :)

I just converted it. ;)

If people PM me what they want converted (with a link to the file), I'll contact the developer(s) and convert them to .xsi. :)

-EDIT- Guess what guys...

Convert his lightsaber. I always hated how Dooku has the default lightsaber instead of his trademark curved hilt.

woah! all these models are sweet. I just dled Wazmols weapon pack he converted (that E3 carbine :bobba: ).
Id almost cry (not really) if those clone models where converted, and if someone does then there needs to be reflection (for visor) and if not to much trouble overide texure.

And your stupidity about the law makes all of us sick. :wink:

As for the model requests from everybody... yes those are all great. :D lol Though it'd make custom map file sizes huge and you know how alot of 56k'ers hate large downloads. Lol.

I'm not one of them 56k people, but I feel for them. lol

@ JK514 -- you're at risk of being banned as well. I've explained once that JKA player models were legal, but you guys claimed the models as your own, then changed your story. In other words, the JKA models are a special case as the developers released them. You got in trouble because you didn't credit Raven Software. But I've seen you promoting KotOR conversions, which can and will get Gametoast into trouble.
We stopped covertion from JA.
5 person models - trandoshan, ubesian, rodian, weequay, other trandoshan are from kotor1/2.
We took from JA only twi`lekk female...

;) Do you want twi`lekk female source?

In the case of the Clone Models and any other work by NeoMarz, you guys can go ahead as long as you credit him.

You guys couldn't contact (or you could but it'd be really difficult) him because he left the JKA modding community. But in the event he does come back you guys would want to credit him out of respect. But I'm sure you all know this. But I was just saying of how contacting him would be out of the question.

Same thing went on with how people were yelling at Tim for doing the KotF mod cause he didn't ask for permission. But he still credited them which is good. But I won't bring that huge argument here.

Still moral of my post: At least credit the people that they know that you didn't steal or claim the work as your own.

It's illegal. BioWare is very uptight about their stuff.
