    No, you won't be including this one. There are still elements of it to be revised, and it's far too much of a pain in the ass having multiple distributions of a large mod like that in the wild. This one should be fine.

    Yeah, in other words, sabers are effectively hard-coded. What's there is what you are stuck with.
  3. DarthParametric
    Yes, sounds are defined in baseitems.2da, and by default there are only 3 types of saber - short, single, double. You'd have to create new base item types for unique sounds, but I don't know if that would actually work for sabers given that upcrystals.2da only accepts the 3 base saber types.

    Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber - New Resin Print 01
    I've had a few different ones over the years. The latest is a Prusa i3. Seems like it's generally considered the best hobby-level FDM printer, so every man and his dog has one.

    There's a chamfer that runs through the middle of the ring of holes. The marks are from the way the printer handled the top layer on the inside half of that chamfer. On the outside, the filament was laid down in a series of nice, neat concentric circles in parallel with the outside diameter of the part. On the inside it looks like it has mushed in some infill in various criss-cross patterns rather than doing a neat top layer. The part probably needs some custom settings for those layers, to force it to use solid infill (although it should have handled that automatically).

    I think you are thinking of @JCarter426

    I don't have one myself, so can't test it directly. But I see that @jc2 's blog has a custom header.

    It's your secret admin power at work. Mere mortals don't have access to it.

    Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber 3D Printed Part 11

    From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff

    Mockup of currently printed pieces. There are still a few internal bits needed, but it's primarily just the clamp left to go now.

    Booster main component. There are two more pieces still to be printed that act as inserts at each end and join with the clamp and handwheel, but those will mostly end up hidden.

    From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff

    Balance pipe (emitter) printed in 4 separate pieces, two of which had to be glued together. I had to split one piece into two because of issues with bed adhesion.

    Yep, normal map functionality has been implemented. It was a two part issue, requiring both stuff in the model and saving the maps as TPCs. The models in this thread all use normal maps. There are some engine limitations regarding what you can do with them though, particularly when trying to combine them with envmaps.

    Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber 3D Printed Part 08

    From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff

    Rough positioning of currently printed parts. Having the real thing in-hand, and going back and looking at reference pics, I think my handwheel is undersized. It's maybe in the ballpark of 80-90% of what the real thing looks to be. Unfortunately the only source of specific measurements I could find turned out to be primarily based on the ROTS hilt, which is wrong. So I guess I will be printing those parts again at some point. But I'll print everything else first, see how it all goes together.

    Grenade body. The end of an 11 hour print on the left, covered in support material. On the right, with support material removed.

    Grenade stem

    Off-topic but you need a stroke or drop shadow on that text. Either that or tone down the background.

    That would be a combination of scripting and plot flags I assume. The dialogue fires a script that sets the flag in one module, then the onload script in the other module checks the flag and spawns the item when it reads the proper value.

    Underside (left) and top (right) of the grenade wind vane. Still requires cleanup. There is a bit of spiderwebbing between the vanes.

    Handwheel parts in a dry fit assembly.

    Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber 3D Printed Part 02

    From the album: DP's 3D Printed Stuff

    Component parts that make up the handwheel, i.e. the pommel.

    Obi-Wan ANH Lightsaber 3D Printed Part 01
    No. It will be a static display piece. No blade, lights, or other gimmicks. I'm not a fan of that stuff.

    Energy field?

    The first Obi-Wan saber part hot off the printer.

    Cede only appears when Revan was set as male. That's the game determining that, it has nothing to do with the mod.
