We have a small group of students selected to put together a new skinpack for the JA. These guys will be working through the next couple of weeks to make a smaller yet better skinpack. Suggestions are welcome :).

#ja-cleanup in IRC
********************************************

Here our your objectives, you must be done by March 12th:
1. Trim down the skinpack to a size no greater than 40mb
2. Remove worthless/unsuable/not used pk3s
3. Replace pk3s that have better/newer versions
4. Add whatever is good as long as you meet the size limit.

Use this thread and #ja-cleanup, thx guys!

##################
# Plan of Action #
##################

Phase 1: Cuts
Deadline: March 5th @ 2400 UTC

Each member of the cleanup crew will vote on every pk3 in the current skinpack list. You will vote to either keep that pk3 or remove it. On the 5th @ 2400 UTC (GMT), voting will cease and all votes will be tallied. Skins will be removed if they recieve more than 50% of cutting vote. You will post your voting results here in this thread.

Phase 2: Updates
Deadline: March 9th @ 2400 UTC

For the skins that are staying, we will look for newer/better versions of them. Post which pk3s you'd like to provide updates for in this thread (please include links to a page with screenshots/pk3 to the newer one). All update submissions will be in by March 9th @ 2400 UTC. The cleanup crew will then have 1 day to vote yay/nay on each proposed update. Votes will no longer be taken by March 10th @ 2400 UTC. The passing updates will be added to the skinpack.

Phase 3: Additions
Deadline: March 11th @ 2400 UTC

With what space is left after cuts and updates, the crew can propose new additions to the skinpack. Additions can no longer be proposed after March 9th @ 2400 UTC. Then each member will vote on each proposition. On March 11th @ 2400 UTC, votes will be tallied and additions made based on which ones have the most votes (until we reach the size limit).

Phase 4: Assembly
Deadline: March 12th @ 2400 UTC

The new skinpack will be put together. It will be uploaded to all JA servers replacing the old skinpack and the Servers page will be updated. A newspost will be made announcing the update.

The cleanup crew were chosen a few months ago.

The Skinpack is close to completion now, and we aren't needing anyone more to help us at this stage.

But you can always look forward to it sometime this, or next week. :)

I would also like to say in the defence of yoda lovers that there are certain aspects of yoda being short and having a huge heads gimps him

Not to forget his ears will count as head shorts and his head is huge, but it is just the right height for a common slice, so for yoda a torso hit would be a heat shot for him (ouch for yoda)

Also now atack penatlies yoda receieves from being shorter.;. his arms are shorter so he has slighlty shorter reach, which can actauly make all the difference. Also not to mention that all of yodas slices are going to be leg and some times torso shot when he doesa high height atack, because he is so short he is like atacking your legs all the time.

So, yes he may be harder to hit, but normal build character can take advantage of his shortness and his huge head factor. ( Now yoda in instagib would just be wrong ) So my opinion playing yoda would just be cool, not an advantage. So that is why I voted for the yoda skin to go in and be playable on the academy server

Okay, I've thought long on how to do this, and I decided that just voting on it will work. After each of us have voted, I'll jump in and fix it up to the limit, with discussions with those on IRC.

I'll number each one, so you guys can post whether you think it should stay or not. Again, I'll provide an example below:

1 - Out
2 - In
3 - In
4 - Out
5 - In

So, here's the list:

1 - Darth Nihilus
2 - Darth Malak
3 - Darth Malak
4 - Obi-wan EPIII
5 - Anakin EPIII
6 - Exar Kun
7 - Barriss Offee
8 - Luminara Unduli
9 - Princess Leia
10 - Yoda
11 - Sidious
12 - Mara Jade
13 - Mara Jade
14 - VaderVM UPD
15 - Ravage

jk2 models have thier skeletons weighted differently then jka models, so if you use dual sabers, the left hand won't animate properly. Take the classic Duffman model in the profile pic :D He holds the left saber upsidedown, and the animations are more bugged then most. And the cape is attached to the uppertorso, so most hits to my legs count as torso shots, so if location based dmg is on (as any decent person should have it set to) then foot shots count as torso shots, so i loose more hp then normal.

I use him occasionaly just for the sounds :D

Don't think so, but I'm sure that the way they are made in Jedi Outcast is the same as in Jedi Academy.

Anyway, I'll be sure to test that. :D

So far, every model I have tested in Jedi Academy from Jedi Outcast has worked fine, just for your information. :)

Well it looks like I've started something with the Yoda skin, I'm sure if he's added or not it is with good reason.
Also, I have fixed my Darth Malak link, it should have been the pcgamemods version so my bad thanks for pointing that out.:D

wouldnt matter in game, that would require a new saber pk3 for every hilt that yoda used, and it would need to be made he could only use those hilts. all characters saber blades and hilts are a standard size.


Well im pretty sure the single yoda file covers it all.. from lookign at the pictures and there being no other file offered... I guess I when I install the game I could just test it my self to see if im wrong or right.
