Looks like they left some of the file formats the same as the KOTOR engine.

Despite some file path problems I was able to open some of the assets in the KOTOR modding tool.

Thought I'd point it out if anyone was interested in following up on this.

you lanpirates thinking of adding this game to your sitE?

i'd definitely be willing to help this goal.

I don't really know if I have time to pick up another modding project.

I have www.moviebattles.com
Fablemod
And some commerical work.

I might send this along to the main KOTOR guys though.

As for adding it to the lanpirates site I'd have to talk with Zushiba.

Looks like lanpirates.net is going to be hosting a Jade Empire Modding site.

I'll update this thread when we get up and going.

I want mods. Maybe I should just copy my reply to you from on GameFaqs lol.

It would be great to have anything extra. I loved the modded workbench. I was walking around with Revan's armor and a light saber on Telos. I was wondering how we could give access to items and I think it should be going to all merchants, or just the guy who joins your party. Its not really needed buy having access to all gems and techniques at the start, or chapter 2, would be cool.

That would just be the first step though. Hopefull people can get in new weapons, areas, skins and other stuff. I have no programming skils beyond BASIC A though. But I can be a good cheerer

I'm technically an animator. But I have a small bit of coding knowledge.

Might want to crop out the mip maps, make your changes, save as DDS and drop in the override folder.

Might require some experimentation. Hopefully it isn't too difficult. I couldn't find any other player skin for some odd reason.

Temp modding forum set up within the fable one.

Got them all. And in proper dds with mipmap format.

Check the forums for link.

man some nunchucks would be great

Even if the engine did support that. It would be a lot of work to implement.

On the plus side. First new skin...

Pics of Ming without tats available in forum.

Is this still alive?

Because sites don't work and links are dead

Nope Lanpirates is dead. Fable was moved to www.fableTLCmod.com.

Jade Empire was dropped as there wasn't enough interest.

That's too bad. JE would be a great game to get into modding since there would some great ideas to shoot around. Speaking of which...are you still active in the Fable TLC forums Keshire? I got into Fable modding a few months back but haven't really done anything other than game.bin editing, retexturing, and some other minor things. Nothing major. I remember waaaaaaay back when that you had successfully extracted JE textures for editing. Do you still have this readily available? If you do, would you mind emailing them (if possible) to me? Send me a PM so i can give you my email address.

Thanks!

EDIT: Or...even better, just let me know which file(s) are needed to be ftp'ed to my pc so i can just do them myself. I tried editing some .rim files under the \data directory using Kotor Tool but somehow, it comes back with all these gibbrish. Anyway, thanks again in advance for the help.

is there a stat start value in the .xbe that can be editted, ala PSO, so you can start with the ability to distribute the points how you see fit. or maybe a way to edit a game save with a hex tool. I absolutely loved JE and thought it was a far superior game to both KOTOR and KOTOR2 in both quality and fun factor. It may not have been as engrossing but had way better pacing to it. I didnt even finish KOTOR2, it just felt like more of the same stuff from KOTOR.

i know this topic is long dead, but I would like to play through JE again without having to go through the typical level, rinse, repeat.

i understand it's a dead end, but still...
where else can i ask?

is there any tools and instructions to replace models and extract textures maybe?
by replacing models i mean put the death's hand's model for player and so on.

i saw some nice pc mods for jade empire, can they be converted somehow?
