Saber smithing for Mac users
Permalink  

Hi folks, I'm new here. And no, I'm not stalking Keshire.

Anyhoo, are there any Mac users that can help another? I wanna make spiffy sabers too, I have Photoshop to make images and TextEdit to read .sab files and such (even though .glm looks like gibberish), and currently begging for 3D modeling apps. Here's the thing, what's used to make a .pk3? Renaming a StuffIt/ZipIt archive aren't being recognized in-game.

And no, I don't want to use VirtualPC or any other emulation app. Especially when I have a habit of blowing them up.

Isnt there a zip program simular to winzip that runs on mac?  


Not having used a mac in close to 9 years... i cant say i know much about them anymore.. i used to do photoshop with my advertising school... but after i got my degree i kept with the windows environment...


i wouldnt even know where to begin when it comes ot the mac stuff.. but i think some people have modeled sabers with it..  i would reccomend jk3files.com forums.. or even more noteable lucasforums.com..


unless ofcourse there is someone here that knows mac modeling.. then you can slap me on the back of the head and tell my dumbass to shut up LOL

Three days of talk and now three weeks of nothing. I thought I'd ask a forum devoted to this, so it won't get lost in the noise.

I have no clue but I was telling you to SEARCH.  Its the first site that looked promising.  All you need is a modeling program that can make md3 or glm files.  (if I find anything I'll tell you, I'm a fellow mac user) please post where you found it if you find 1

Well, that wasn't fun.

Anyway, the new .pk3 still has a hidden .zip extension. No matter how many type/creator changing apps I run it through, it's still a .zip file.

There's always been problems with archives on Mac.

zip rar and pk3 are all the same thing.

Is there an rar archiver for Mac?

http://macrar.free.fr/

found it...

Other than this I think you may be screwed.

I hear that.

What's worse is, my Mac friends haven't responded to any of my emails about this all March. Nothing. Nada.

Nah. I'd rather spend the money on more worthwhile stuff, like metal sculpting and welding classes, so I can make my own replica sabers. Ooo, Spider-Man 2 action figures!
