Kung-Fu legends' models/skins in Kung Fu?

[Murphysk8]

I've seen both trailers and screens of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, ect.; in the older Kung Fu mods. I downloaded em, but I dont see em here. Also, I looked all over for em. I did notice a Jet Li face in the skin folder for Katana though. As well as the Blade model/skin.

Anybody still got these skins/models? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I don't think Ken ever released the skins, they looked pretty damn good to me too. I'd love to get my hands on them, but I can't see them being released now. I wonder why they were left out of KF3 http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Murphysk8]

I would too. What sux is that it's in older trailers, almost like taunting us with it's presence. Or lack-there-of. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
Btw, JLN, did you notice you were credited in the Readme (and I think in the mod, not sure though) of Katana? Pretty cool man, hehe. Then again Akari got a mention.

Btw, MPHQ doesn't have it... That's where I checked first ( which is how I got KF 0.9, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) None of the KF mods that I got from there have em. And yet the trailers show em. Lol. Hmm, in Gamespot's article they have that above screenie. They wrote that when "Kung Fu 2 [was] the latest version", so I guess that would be the version it should be in.

Hopefully Ken_Y or somebody has em' still, or knows a site that does. If not I could try making a Jet Li skin... Hmm...

(I'm not good at faces, and I have a Jet li face now.)

Hey, Maddieman, you have the Jet Li face in Katana.. Plus you know Ken.. Do you, by any chance, have em? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I remember seeing that skin in the Gamespot feature that mentioned Kungfu. I never bought Max Payne 1, however.

Well when working on KF3 my original plan was to create some sort of "Kung Fu Heros" kinda mod, where you could play as various famous kung fu heros in familiar scenarios. But it soon became obvious that creating a handful of maps and skins and unique movesets by myself was too ambitious. So I opted to just focus on the engine and release the vanilla KF3 first (heck knows how long even that took). Anyways, remember that skins can look great in screenshots, but it says nothing about how well it works actually ingame. But I think after I finish my current work I'll wrap up those skins for everyone - I think I owe people that much after flaunting them in all those videos http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks Ken, and btw, Kung Fu 3 wasn't "vanilla". Don't be so modest. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif

Vanilla is still the most popular flavour. But I vaguely remember you saying they weren't good enough to be included... oh well, I think they look cool, any chance of an eta?
Must stab people as jet li...

That's cool that they're going to be released, I just expected that they'd been lost over time, guess I was wrong.

@Murphysk8
Yeah, I saw my name in the credits. Pretty awesome even being associated with such a mod, although I'm not quite sure why I was included. Could be because I'm a moderator on Frozmods, or maybe it's because I'm just that cool http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Murphysk8]

@ JLN, probably both. You do help a lot of people in the modding community (me included). http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hah, I'd like to think so, but the number of people I've helped in this community I could count on one hand http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif

[Murphysk8]

Lol, same here. Just click on my skinning tut and start counting em'. Haha.

Good news Ken, I remember seeing them skins and thinking "I can't wait to play as these guys!" but enjoyed the mod just as much without them. Still wouldn't mind them now though http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hate ta' nag.. but... any news? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hhg.gif
