LHammonds Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 uh oh...crap i never did that...i'll do that soon though, for when we release the teaser i guess...its too big to release on tesnexus though isnt?You can find out quick enough exactly how large it will be. Download the latest version of TES4Files and follow the tutorial below to get all the mod-related files into it's own directory, then use 7-Zip's 7z format on "Ultra" compression mode (or the mode just below it if you have less that 1 GB ram) to see exactly how large it will be. If it is less than 300 MB, you can upload it directly to TESNexus. If it is larger than 300 MB, you will need to split the archive similar to what I did to get XSI Mod Tool uploaded (439 MB zipped). You can split the archive into smaller sizes and can be any size you choose so long as it is below the 300 MB limit. It can be 290 MB per file or it can be 100 MB per file (like I did for XSI Mod Tool).

worm82075 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 You are just too cool LH! Please, please, please (thats me begging) please make Boba's blaster rifle, we'll get it working to acceptable standards eventually and in the mean time he will at least be complete (looking at anyway).

LHammonds Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hehehe. I'll think about it but no promises. Just made the fuel line semi-transparent. Looks much better. Also adjusted the neck armor and made it better match the color of the other (green) armor. Also found and fixed a few UV Map problems on the Jet Pack rocket. I doubt anyone other than somebody doing a re-tex would have noticed but that's just me being difficult. I'm also contemplating making a physically dented helmet and one that is not. The Jango helmet would also have a pristine version and a dented version (dent in a different spot). I'm currently sporting 4 helmet models with 8 versions in-game (viewfinder up, viewfinder down, viewfinder up GND model, viewfinder down GND model and then multiply that by 2 textures of Jango and Boba) ;) Hmmm...since this will be a modder's resource, I think I will leave it up to the individual modder to include different painted versions. I will just create several helmet versions for Boba and let Jango have only one. :) EDIT: Just got back from an in-game test and I nailed the transparency with the correct amount the 1st time! Looks great. I noticed the rocket didn't have a black soot ring where it launches so I'll add that next. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm82075 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hehehe. I'll think about it but no promises. I could ask for no more than that and even if you don't do it I still think your the coolest modder/moderator around. :thanks: Worm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris 07 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Thanks Conan sounds like a plan. :)and great work with those updates....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Jet Fuel soot added beneath rocket and transparency of the Fuel Line also shown although it does not look that transparent in-game. EDIT #1: I noticed that the reference image knee pads did not have a full load of two darts on each side. Removed the top dart on the right knee. ;) EDIT #2: I have been mulling over the Boba Fett reference images and I am currently satisfied with the amount of matching that is done. There are some creative freedoms that were exercised but I like what is done with it right now. Contemplating next step... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHammonds Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 The kids are all with mommy at a Birthday party so that means I get some more time for house cleaning modding! I'm going through the models and making sure all the pieces that a modder might want to slice and dice are separate NiTriStrips. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
