Thanks! :)

And, please, do stay tuned! I'll write a blog entry about my progress some time this week...

@raedwald, @Grey_Fox9, @Seferoth & @all:

Hi everybody! I'm back. After being unable to work on this mod for over three months, I'm finally back. Work on the next version has finally resumed. Yay!

Being one of the people who pestered you with a bunch of these questions I'm glad you published the answers! Good job! The additional recommendations are a nice touch as well.

@innu:

Thank you very much :)

@myxale:

There are already plenty ways to make the game easier. Just transform into a Jade Golem or a Red Minister, when the going gets rough... or use Harmonic Combos to instakill your opponents... The game comes with its own built-in cheat modes, if you will. But just because they're there, doesn't mean you have to use them. Nobody forces you to play the game in a cheesy way.

So, yes, it's possible that I added a new kind of cheesy, but that's not the way I look at it. Central for me - personally - is that I feel in control of my character. Vanilla Jade Empire sometimes makes me feel like a handicapped person. I know what I should do. I have the time to do it. But I don't have control over the my limbs. My arms and legs just won't do as I want them to. And so I end up getting pummelled.

Getting rid of that very uncomfortable feeling is - for me - what this is about. I've also been told, that I swear a lot less, while I play :)

I get the feeling the 1.0 will be my last release. In that sense 0.2 is a very good number.

PM me your email address and I'll keep you in the loop of future TLK changes!

You do have a TLK editor, don't you? You can get one here: Starwarsknights.com (You will need 7-zip to open the file)

And again: The "Comments" are not a good place for long discussions. That's what the forum is for. Please, post your questions there!

So you're really working on a translation then? Sweet!

I've updated the list.

These entries were modified:

130936
130969
131001
131009

And these are new:

131013 -> 131026

If you're serious about this, we should continue this discusion in the forum. This isn't the place for such things.

@Sanguinius + Peacekeeper18:

Back in the day when this game was shiny and new (and long before I noticed it) there was a modder who seemed to almost have deciphered Jade Empire's model format:

Lucasforums.com

Had he pushed just a little further or maybe joined forces with Fred Tetra (of KotorTool fame), then the history of Jade Empire modding might have taken a completely different turn and we'd have an active JE modding community with hundreds of mods now.

Or so I think...

PS: And thanks for the compliments! ;)

Well... Jade Empire's reputation for being unmoddable is well-earned. There is no tool with which one could export the game's assets to a 3d-editor of any sort. Likewise there's no tool with which one could create new objects and add them to the game's assets. And - of course - there's no toolset with which one could conveniently re-arrange levels or create new ones, either.

@VAZBAZ: If you want to translate my mod, be my guest!

Here's the raw data:

If you have questions or need the data in a different format, let me know!
