i too like the 1st one. The transparancy makes it look too much like a flashlight or somethin.
I think that if you make secondary fire a shield or a block that you should change the animation so hes holding the saber tilted to the side across his chest. |

I'd go with the second variation. The first looks too solid -- like those plastic Star Wars toy sabers. The second has more style, especially if it pulsates. |

the second pic is closer to what the saber will be come but the problem is it's not finnished what it need is more of a whitis inner core which i'm sure Diesel is working on as i'm writing this. anyway enough trolling about the sabet thiss the next pic is out. |

I reckon the second picture, agree totally with Mike. Perhaps lower the Transparancy a Teeny bit more? 
Man this is gonna be great.
Darth Joker...

That is a very good question, and the answer is i don't know. how about i send RoMeK and you the story for the single player version. so the two of you can decide what maps would be perfict for the SP game.

Good News
The lightsabre mod plus a small map will be in the next RF update (hopefully).
This will be a beta test, and if it all goes well, then Joker its over to you to put it in your mod.
I dont think I'll be changing anything of the sabre.. unless someone comes up with a radical new way of making a nice glow effect.
Now Im off to finish Red Doom. |

Wow, impressive work here. Good luck on getting other things fixed with the lightsaber and stuff. So far so good.
I'm definitely down on downloading this. 
I'm not very good with .vpp editing and the like, but about the secondary fire being a sort of bullet-blocking capability---could that be made by possibly using the same features that the Riot Shield has? If so, you could boost up the strength of the shield until it's good enough so that bullets won't penetrate.
This may be of no use because I think this may have already been thought of, but I felt like mentioning this idea just to make sure. |

the best idea for them is to replace the sheild with the lightsaber, so ingame, it will automatically block bullets like the real sheild does. thats the only possible thing we can do without the Source code. but its good enough i think. if someones running at u and u shoot him and he blocks a few, that would be rad. i mean, there wouldnt be much fo an animation for blocking the bullets. but in 3rd person, it would look good for him holding it. like, he would hold it infront of his face like the real SW ppl did it.
u can change the Character animations so idle is him holding the sheild animation, then swinging is the batton, and whatever else be the 2ndary, and what not.

Well, i think we can agree that there are only two feasable options for a secondary fire:
Stab or block
In my opinion, either one would work, however the block would be more interesting and versitile. It would also allow for some really intense sword fights.
Maybe since there are two sides of the story, we should vote on it. That is, if Darth is up for a democratic approach.
I vote for block. |

The blade needs to be alot lighter. Overall, it's looking great though! I can't wait to try it out. It would be nice to have a few different moves that you can do maybe? I dunno just a thought. |

Indeed. Well make sure not to be proliferative with it. I would also agree with the block idea for the lightsaber. It seems to make more sense.
Now that I think about it...What about Double sabers? Or Two-hand pair of sabers? I don't mean to jump the gun, but it could possibly be a future idea or reference. Perhaps you can go with the two-hand pair of sabers and use one of the sabers to attack, while the other is used to parry, or stab, or any other commands which come to mind/can be useful.
Maybe have some sort of contrast between the kind of style you wish to fight in, and their capabilities:
Double Saber - Fast, weak damage
Regular Saber { One } - Basic, Decent; Default
Two-hand Sabers - Slow, Most damage
Please do not feel as if you must coerce with the ideas I have mentioned. I guess I am just quite pleased to see this project up on it's feet, and I want to help in any way I can. |

The version thats in this beta is using the riot stick. This is because I was too lazy to code in more animation for the shield...
anyway, once you've all played around with this one, you can give me some feedback and then I can make changes, and maybe with some help I could use the sheild and make it work
