Okay everybody! Last week, we looked at how to join the servers with a shortcut. This week, we will look at something more usefull in game (not realy that usefull...), a little something i like to call Model Switch  Back in the days of the original Jedi Knight, playing games of Saber Battle X 3, you could robe and unrobe your charecter via the push of a button. With a simle script its possible to robe and unrobe your charecter through the push of a button. First, however, we are going to need a model that has both a robed and unrobed version of it. I used the tex_quigon model. Next, you need to know the commands to turn to the model (both robed and unrobed) without going to the setup screen. In this case, it's "model tex_quigon" and "model tex_quigon/robed". I dont know commands for other Models.... you just have to figure out that for youraelf :/ Sorry I cant help you with this but im sure there is someone out there that know a few modelnames  Now, you need to make a new text document with notepad. In the document, put these exact words (the example shown is for Qui-Gon, it will change depending on the model). bind x vstr style1 set style1 "model tex_quigon; bind x vstr style2" set style2 "model tex_quigon/robed; bind x vstr style1" (x can be changed to whatever key you like) now, save this as quigon.cfg (make sure you have the filetype set to all files, not the default). Place quigon.cfg in your Gamedata/Base folder (the folder where models and maps go). Now, make another new document, and insert the following text: exec quigon.cfg Save this as autoexec.cfg, and place it in your Gamedata/Base folder. This tells JA to execute quigon.cfg whenever the game is started. The alternative to this is typing exec quigon.cfg in the console every time you play the game, but this is much easier. Now, go into JA, and push x( or whatever key you set it as). You should turn into Qui-Gon. Push x again, you robe will come on. X again: off. On. Off. Fun!!! WEEEEE! This is obviously a little more advanced than my last trick. Im not sure if so many people will get this... :/ Have fun, and toon in next week, when we discuss.....ermm.......well, I dunno if I will have anything next week, we will see _______________ .: Perry aka Whatever :..: Da smart guy - from time to time :. |

I beleve you can use any models as long as you have the command for them. And since its JJ's skinpack he might know what they are. I haven't even downloaded anything from here yet, so I don't know. And where I find this - well I have found a few of the basics about changing the models on different sites. But other things... its just seem natural in my head somehow. Hard to explain. I guess I can say that I understand things like this very good. And im quick to learn new stuff and use it in different ways - like this. (im glad that someone finaly posted here  ) _______________ .: Perry aka Whatever :..: Da smart guy - from time to time :. |

Nifty Where do you get your info and/or ideas? EDIT: I forgot to ask, is it possible to use downloaded models, such as the ones in JJ's skin pack, in SP mode? Because that'd be sw33t  This comment was edited by Garos on Apr 29 2004 12:44pm. |
