I got pretty bored and annoyed with ZE today. So I decided to whip up something utterly random so I made this Force Ghost.

Enjoy. (Or not since I can not imagine many people having a use for a dead Jedi.)

I love the idea.
Perhaps a local faction, "haunting" a ghost ship, battleground, city, ect?
Or even helpers in Phobos Developer's zombie levels?
Btw the model appears green because of the holograms light it is really light-blue.
Winrar is throwing an error on the zip.

It seems to like the option files.
-forgot to mention that I tried re downloading a few times. same every time.
Okay I'll reupload.
here is the new link. http://www.mediafire.com/?wisunvvcxtvc4jl (http://www.mediafire.com/?wisunvvcxtvc4jl)
Just took him for a test drive.
This is a good technology.
I like this a lot.
Thanks, Sleepkiller.
it wont extract properly. says unknown method? exact same error tirpider posted with both download links, wierd. perhaps someone can re-upload either as rar or 7z
No problem I'll have it up in a 7z soon. Check back in about hour mate.
I am interested in the ghostification process used here. You say it was done in XSI, could a rancor or bith also be made into ghost form using XSI?
XSI comfuses me. XVi32 comfuses me slighly less. So here is what I did. I hexedited the mesh for double sided tranperancy, and then added ice reflection via hex editing as well. (It goes straight after 08 for tranperancy and is 16 .)

nice, hex editing has a lot more potential than I originally thought. I have not tried hex editing msh files yet but could see a nice tutorial eventually being written about it.
I apologize for misreading your post. You didn't say you used XSI but somehow I thought u did say that so nvrmind.
the 7z extracts fine thx. I want to try waht you did with rancor mesh now. Being eaten by a anorexic ghost.

Being eaten by a anorexic ghost.
Sounds like fun. Remember to alter the texture to else it will stay solid.(Look at mine to see what I did.)
the default mesh option for rancor is scale 2.0. so if you don't include that option file, it will load default 1.0, thereby making rancors appear anorexic :P
discovered by accident during exploration of rancorland's underground glitch tunnels
LOL. Gamereon - "The rancors looking aweful thin." Bobba Fett - "Yeah Jabba has not gotton angery with anybody in while."
Hmm, sleepkiller, could you make a transparent body for units, and just leave a solid head?
I've been wanting to do that for my headshot training mod.
Ah, yeah I can do that which units?
mmm, how about rebel and emp sniper, if it's not too much trouble. :cheers:
Here you go, the textures are a bit rough and both of the models have small holes in top of their heads because of the fact that they reuse a peice of texture from a differant part of the model.
heehee :)

thanks!
Can you teach me how to do it? I would like to take care of the other units, too.
Well open up the mesh in a hexeditor search for .tga go back afew paces from this point you'll find HBATRB after this their is 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 change this to 04 00 00 00 08 00 00 00. Now you'll have to edit the TGA file for all tranparancy except for the head. (Just select and press delete in gimp.) Boom your unit should now be done. If you run into problems let me know.
very nice.
This could mean too that we could have fully invisible mines.
That would make for a mean game.
Ohh, that would be sweet. Invisable mines. I love it.

Is it ok for me to include this as a tutorial in the modding tutorial compilation project? I will call it Force Ghost Tutorial by sleepkiller
Knock yourself out. (I hope you understand that expression, - If not it means yes.)
Very cool, added to the thread.
