LucasArts Embraces Game Mod Community

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-so-much-with-the-extending dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LucasArts has taken a great step in promoting the modification of their titles and supporting the communities that love them! According to this press release, LucasArts has teamed up with LFNetwork to open LucasFiles.com. The site is dedicated to all files that fall in the LucasArts realm." Given competing games like Neverwinter Nights, which have a phenomenal amount of user-created add-ons, this is a very smart move for LucasArts.

    Description: Highly requested! Jar-Jar replaced with a baywatch babe!

    This is not a troll, this is a pleade for it to be done :)

  2. Surely Lucas himself can't be behind this? by svvampy · · Score: 3, Funny

    I mean he's ignored the fans for how long?

    But surely this will be the one true mod site. As in, 'If you don't want to play by our rules (No killing Jar^2) or else..

    Just wait and see what good ol' Georgie's lawyers will say when someone takes Jedi Knight 2 and creates Dirty Wookie Lovin' involving a few dancing blue women, Princess Leia in her sail barge outfit, and one well-endowed Wookie...

      Please mod up this as funny.

      I can almost imagine an aroused wookie chasing after Leia. Sort of like a german shepard getting excited over a pillow, but bigger....

    I'm totally modding my PC now so I can play burned LucasArts games!

    Oh, wait.

    Until they fix the camera angle, I'm sticking with EQ. Above all I need to be able to play w/o contracting chronic nack/back injuries from trying to see what's 15 feet in front of my character all day.

    I think you have a chronic brain injury if you're trying to look around corners on a monitor by moving your head.

    The starwar's fans will get their collective butts kicked. Though I do admit that a swarm of x-wings could be fairly irritating, photon torpedos travel at warp speeds. Ouch.

    shut the fuck up.

    Argh! Once again, if my post begins with "In Soviet Russia", it is a troll. The moderation option for troll reads as follows: "Troll".

  9. Shitstirrers, Muckrakers Unite! by Nathdot · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously what's called for here are some high definition Star Trek Mods.

    Just imagine Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty and Uhura all flying around in an enterprise-skinned millenium falcon. It'll take the concept of nerd-to-nerd combat and make it a high artform:

    JARJAR_85
    Mesa no lika vulcans.
    KIRK_237
    Set Phasors to kill.

    On another note, surely LucasArts realise that their new MMORPG universe will be 95% populated by naked Natalie Portmans.

    As someone who made a model for Jedi Outcast, I kindly thank you for pointing out that I didn't...
