While my experience isn't exactly the same as it's a machinima as apposed to a modding project, I can attest strongly to what SH has said: Voice actors should come as late in a project as possible. 

Just glad that you were able to recast that main character of yours after the first one ghosted you.

My condolences on your loss.

Whatever is easiest for you!

Also, if you want to extend the scenes rather than just replacing the existing footage, there's the matter of the audio - new sound design for the ship sound effects and new music. I don't think SFX would be that much of a problem thanks to the Star Wars Soundboards, but the movie version uses music from Seven Years in Tibet, which I don't think would be allowed. Although, now that we have MMO music as an option, that might be covered too.

I lean towards replacing the in-game BIKs completely rather than merely extending them.  As you pointed out, it enables to avoid the issues of assets you don't have access to and using any sound design and music that you wish to use.  Seeing as you would be making a higher resolution (and larger) movie, not reusing any of the original materials to artificially extend the preexisting video is actually a bonus.

To be honest, I'm reluctant to release the film version because I only see the parts I could do better now. 

I would cheer for new versions that make use of your current talents and the latest available tools.

Don't forget to rate and comment on the video on YouTube. 

Well, there was that nice landing shot that you guys made for Korriban . . . any chance you could expand those (outside the ship) scenes into full landing videos for Korriban in both K1 and K2?  I believe I may asked for these before and was shut down harshly.  (Edit: Not by you, mind you.)

I am now retired from Staff.  Please take Staff concerns to Staff.

Mellowtron11 hooked me up.  Thanks, man!

Closin' this thread. 

The LucasArts Golden Guy Bonus Episode: Star Wars: Battle for Naboo (2001)

I haven't abandoned this series quite yet.  Here's another video to tide you over until I acquire more old LA games that include the Golden Guy.

I'll give you a little information: the beer is called "Tarisian Sunset"  Everything else can actually be translated.

Actually not, DP!  LOL

 . . . a few hours later

What do you with folks that ragequit in such a dramatic fashion?  You smile and nod, and let them calm down on their own.  (Which I've done now.)

There's another problem I would've had with the video even if I had figured out all of the above: the skyboxes.  The skyboxes used in the "Part 4" picture above are combination of my Coruscant skybox and Sharen Thrawn's Nar Shaddaa skybox.  I can't release that merged skybox without ST's permission so the video seems to be a moot point, huh?

Moved this blog to a thread in the M4-78 forums.  As such this blog is now locked.

Thanks!  

No more questions needed from you, N-DReW.  I think you have enough!  LOL

Bonus Episode: Star Wars: Mysteries of the Sith

Bonus Episode: Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

Stay tuned for my April 1st mod release of Taris J'ika!

 

April 1st, huh?

Guess there's no point in releasing the BIKs then.

HH: You seem to be saying that TSLRCM renders the videos using the in game engine.  Does TSLRCM implements fades for those scenes and implement the cryo grenades though.  It's obviously been a long time since I've played the game all the way through so seeing some video footage that explains how I wasted my time would be helpful.

To get folks to make the OTHER video.

I think I have it all set up.  I've recorded the footage without music, fiddled around with the sound levels, re-added the music, and made them into MP4 movies.  Then I Binked them.  

Is this better than what we had?

Though I'll probably still need the "Big Battle of Khoonda" video, I'll probably be able to use the console from N-DReW25's suggestion.  (Thanks N-DReW25.) 

Let's see how this turns out!
