Can anyone make a mouse droid (like from the Death Star) that will work with the "droid" odf class? (I say that specifically because my original idea is gone because of the incompatibility with the "human" msh files. If anyone can enlighten me as to why or how to fix, please say so.)
But on failure of my original objective, I had another idea. I will be using it in a later mod, whoever makes it will obviously get credit.
Thanks!
Great idea, I should have thought of that!
Well, I am not a modder, but I have an idea with what you could do with this, maybe make it like a recon droid or something.
Well, that's kind of what it is. It's pretty much an edited recon odf file. :)
I think there is a model on GS warehouse...
I'll check and update this post, if there is I can just add what needs to be added to make it play-able.
I saw mouse droids, in my Death Star conversion, but seems, they are wasn't "droid" class. Just usual infantry, with Yoda sceleton anims.
There is a mouse droid in the TCW assets. ( mouse.msh and rep_inf_mouse.tga)
It would need a bit of work (scaling) to make it usable.

You mean the ones I'm trying to convert? :facepalm:
I should have looked there first... Thanks Tirps, I'll get right on it (tomorrow, but same thing.. right? :P)

That is my favorite part of that map. No really it is! Who else would think of such a fun thing to put in a map! I play that map just to defend the mouse droids!!!!! :cheer:
Off topic map idea:
Mouse Hunt : Player is a Jawa hunting Mouse Droids
-or-
Jawas vs Mouse Droids

Interesting idea, i'd say it's worth entertaining.
UV mapping almost done, (stupid XSI is acting up with textures AGAIN.) the mouse needs a more quality texture though.. It's quite small and pixelated.
I'll scale the tga 2x that way we can have someone edit it.
Updating this post when it's done. Nvm, it's at the bottom.

I would imagine the UV layout could pan out something like this, to retain it's detail level correctly...

I'm sure using a larger texture size wouldn't hurt though either. Kinda curious, hows XSI acting up? Might be able to help cause I use it all the time.

Sereja, you know what you have to do.
I'll get 10 other people to storm your house if you don't make this. ;)
Beware, I might be one of those people. :P

Just fixed the problem.. For some reason I'm not suppose to import materials when OBJ import?.. Weird.
I completely redid the UV map, it's too bad I didn't see that schematic earlier or I would have just matched that.
But I recently figured out that UVs are by percent, and not by pixel (though that makes sense, because it would take up twice the game process to render it, and it's just easier to do percent). So that means you can just scale the tga up without edited the model, and repaint the bigger texture/targa how you wish. Which explains how lowrez works.

Finished product in the attachments, credit to Pandemic for the original model. This should be able to replace the recon droid, you might consider messing around with the hover code in the odf if you do so though.. Or else you have a flying ghost mouse droid :P

Kit Fisto.... i am one of those 10 people u said
Oh, great... Look's like some kind of invasion :blink:.
Actualy, Mouse Droids, are suppose to be, most peaceful and friendly guys, from Star Wars Universe, and it's hard to imagine, how they cud fight Vs Jawa. Or it should be just singleplayer "Jawa exterminator" map... :confused:
Anyway, you may start with idea, how the map, should look's like, first.
Mouse droids would be a nice addition to industrial and city-based maps, as a neutral local side that goes around repairing turrets etc..
Or Trandos hacked their system and made them suicide bombers.
I would love to get massive amounts of kills as a Mouse Droid! Here is how it would work, the Empire reprogrammed them to be killing machines! And the Jawas have to defend their...Sandcrawler!!
Force Powers, perhaps?
Part of some dark side, jedi cloning experiment.
Possibly using the brains of malformed emperor clones....?
Or perhaps the emperor found some sharp scientist that was able to reproduce some of the old Rakatta Force powered technology?
Vader's Pets? Anakin was an ok technician, he did build C-3P0... oh yeah.. nevermind.
Yeah... ok... really grabbing at straws with that. Whatever happens, the little guy needs a zapper, laser, or dart gun of some kind.
Probably a close range zapper would make the most sense.

Those ideas wouldn't be too out-of-place considering the level of zany madness the Expanded Universe writers generally delve into.
Need I remind you all of Skippy the Jedi Droid?
Or even Jaxxon the humanoid green rabbit... EURGH
And not forgetting Bendorion the Jedi Hutt.

Lol, a jedi hutt?
Sounds like something my little brother would think up.
LoL, Jedi Hutt? I've read a lot, but I never saw that one before :o
I guess now that I've done this, I should make a map with these in. I already had the odf made up. The problem is that I used the dispenser odf to dispense a droid (so it could pilot itself, they follow you around), so it crashes in MP. Haven't found a fix yet :dry:
It is pretty funny though when you use them as like a barricade and some unsuspecting trooper with only melee attacks (Zombie idea :P) runs right into them to their death.
Good news is, if I could get the dispensed droids to actually attack something rather than just explode, we'd have a self piloted mouse droids with that zap attack (yes, I actually had that in the odf already too).

Your starting to make this mouse droid idea sound very much like Zeeo from the Star Wars: Lethal Alliance video game. :P

Hands down the best game to play as a mouse droid is Lego Star Wars. If you buy the extra toggle extra and play a Death Star level you can zip around and self destruct! (if you have that extra) Mouse Droids are awesome... :cheer:

I did have the first LSW on my GameCube, and used Extra Toggle. Definitely fun indeed. It was cool to rock around with the Droideka on some levels too. :P
