FILENAME: missing_npcs.pk3
FILESIZE: 1.4 MB
DATE RELEASED: 2 January 2012
CREDITS: RavenSoft made the original textures and other files for JKII. All I did was to find the missing files in JKII and put them
into a pk3 for JKA.
Thanks to Link of the (JAWA) Clan for letting me test these on the server.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Simply place the file called "missing_npcs.pk3" in your "base" folder.
To de-install it, just remove the pk3 from "base". You might want to move it to a folder called "downloads" so that you can
re-install it another time.
To use these on a multiplayer server, the file must be uploaded to the server.
DESCRIPTION: These are four Non-Player Characters (NPC's) that were originally released with single-player Jedi Outcast (JKII).
Although the NPC's themselves were included in Jedi Academy as well, the textures and a few other files were omitted, since none of these
NPC's were actually used in the game. This file makes them available for everybody to use.
The NPC's are:
glider
mark1
mark2
minemonster
The glider is a flying reptile native to Yavin IV. It looks like a cross between a pterodactyl and a heron.
When you spawn it, it will be "asleep." The easiest way to wake it up is to spawn a jawa nearby and walk in front of it.
This works well for droids as well. The glider doesn't move very quickly, but it will follow you if you were the first person it saw
when it woke up. Otherwise it's harmless. RavenSoft didn't make any sounds for the glider.
For a more dynamic glider, check out my Glider Vehicle pk3. It uses the pekopeko and shakk sounds.
The mark1 is a large, heavily-armed attack droid. It'll attack as soon as it sees you.
The mark2 is a small droid that sort of sits there whirring about as if deciding what to do next. So far as I've seen, it's harmless.
Minemonsters, or "shrugs" as we've been calling them on the server for ages, are nasty little creatures from the crystal mines of Artus Prime.
They're surprisingly fast and vicious, and a swarm of them can cause serious injuries in a short time. Thankfully, they're not very smart.
BUGS: None that I know of. Unless you count the minemonsters. *shrugs*
COMMENTS: Since I didn't create any of these files, anyone should feel free to use them without my permission.
I'll be satisfied if you include a copy of this file with any modifications.
