Star Wars Mod Feedback?

[xtimgx]

Hey guys, I don't know if they already have made a Star Wars mod for D2 or not yet, but I am in the works of creating one. When I say my mod will be one of the biggest mods out there, I mean it. I plan on changing about every monster, item, level graphic(if possible), etc.... I really wanna try and create a whole Star Wars adventure using the Diablo 2 engine. If anyone has any feedback whether it would be flaming, ideas, graphic help, etc.... :doped -Timg

Personally, I think that would kickass. can't wait for it

[Dragnskull]

ill dl it, arey ou planning on making it clientside so we can play bnet still?

btw, the "biggest mod" ever for d2 is goin to be impressive work...cause i know summits mod for genxtreme (R.I.P.) and starfishes b2d2 mod were pretty fun...

[xtimgx]

Well, I'll see what happens. I'm not sure If it's gonna be clientside. Maybe later on down the road, there will be a clientside version.-Timg

[Dragnskull]

i dont see why it couldnt be...i mean changing nothing but the images would be easier wouldnt it? think about it, swords = lightsabers, axes could be some...special...weapon...*shrugs*, bows could be the rifles...

(sry im not much of a starwars person)

itd be easier and more popular that way, cause ud have to create a server to play on and have ppl populate it the other way =/

[xtimgx]

Yea, I actually was thinking of setting a full Star Wars server up also. I would totally change the quests as much as I could and really put a new excitement into the game. If anyone has any weapon ideas/monsters/anything, feel free to post or email them to me, and I will be able to give you credit in contributing in the mod.

wellt he bigest problem with private servers, is getting it populated...most private servesr arel ucky to have 30 people =/

with clientside, u could change everything about the story (re-write the text scripts im guessing) to make it say whatever u want...

[xtimgx]

Yea, that's true. Well see what happens. I'm looking forward to really getting something going here.-Timg

[Tiznit]

I think I'd join if you made a private server for it. Regular d2x bores the crap out of me nowadays.

[xtimgx]

So, now it's time to start completely changing the items first. That is my main concern right now. So, I guess we are in the stage of making weapon ideas such as Lightsabres, Blasters, etc... Time to start doing some Star Wars research.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Mace Windu's sabre which is purple if you remember will most likely be the best sabre on the light side. The dark side will either use Anakin's sabre, Darth Mauls dual sabre, or General Grievous's quad sabre setup.-Timg

[Tiznit]

Well, shouldn't those be in place of unique weapons? I mean, wouldn't it be good just to have generic Lightsabres as well in place of normal weapons? 'Cause if every weapon is going to be a unique characters light sabre it kind of devalues it.
At least that's the way I see it.

[xtimgx]

No, I fully understand. Like you said, only uniques would be the good sabres. You would be able to craft other ones with other mods. But like a Quill Rat might drop a sabre with 1-3 Damage with like 2% Chance to Deliver "Force" Power or something like that.-Timg

Ok, new amulet pics will be up today sometime and the new Diablo 2: Star Wars Expansion Mod Screen Pic today. This is really looking promisin and so far this will be able to be played either way I believe. In a few weeks, I am looking for massive amounts to be done. The classes will be changed completely and spells too. Spells may actually go down as there are not many "spells" but I am thinking of making it back by maybe making physical skills like Steal, Strangle, Throw... etc.. Hope everyone is still looking forward to it!-Timg

Hey guys, nothing big happened so far, but I have a screenshot of at least the beta screens for this Star Wars mods. I have done numerous changes already including item mods, item pictures, expanded key holding(from 12 to 50), a chance in potions also. I will actually be making a site probably for this mod to keep you updated at all times.-Timg

[Tiznit]

Hey, one question, how will it work with the Pandemonium Event?(Uber Trist/Keys/Etc.)

[Guest]

Uber baal=Palpetine? .

[Hamtaro]

Uber tristram is ubers = The 3 main Jedi's?

[xtimgx]

It's all gonna be a surprise to anyone that tries it!-Timg

[Tiznit]

See that's the thing, he was saying stuff about having both light and dark sides, but that would mean 2 separate codes(as far as I see it) for light side characters and dark side characters involving the pandemonium event(and basically all the bosses....and enemies...and storyline). And that could get awkward being a dark side character joining a game where they're killing Lord Vader or something =/

[xtimgx]

I did actually think about that, and am probably going to make just a mod for the light side characters right now, BUT I would like to in the future make a seperate mod for anyone that wants to play as a Dark Side character. This will not only save time but also help confusion as you will have the chance later on to be able to play as the dark side. This will not only save time but I think make it more exciting to eventually be able to pick which version you'd wanna play that day and such. I also wanna know if people would like this to be mainly client side with just graphics changes or serverside where I or someone would have to make a server for this patch. Thanks.-Timg
