My project thread/blog

First some background information:

Quote
This is based on a Star Wars project I worked on (with many others) for a good 5 years (And which I'm still a fairly active forum member).
The original project was Movie Battles 2 for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

About 2 years ago I started working on this project but had to take a break for a bit because of real life, Between then and now I lost a hard drive that contained the source for that project.

Now I'm attempting to revive it and improve on it.

I'm not an experienced coder. (I specialize in 3D animation and file specification cracking. "That's weird", ya I know, right.)


Here is what I am attempting to do (listed more for myself than for others):

Top Down Melee/Shooter hybrid
Jedi Class
Sith Class
Gunner Class (maybe mandalorian class)

Jedi/Sith uses stylus controlled lightsaber combat.
Trigger button activates force power mode.
Saber can perfectly deflect shots if hit in middle
Otherwise shots can hit the hand holding the saber
Or stagger the user if it hits the tip of the saber.

Saber versus saber clash locks the sabers together.
First to use force button knocks down the other.

Force:
Drag and drop objects for cover
Flick objects to throw them
Tap other for mindtrick
Tap self for Seeing

Gunner is a squad of 4 (3 Bots)
Tap/Hold to shoot
Collide with blocking saber will kick and knock them down.
Trigger:
Sets waypoint for nearest bot.
Tap self/other to change weapons.

Environmental hazards (Pits, force thrown objects).

Current Assets:
Attached... (I'm generous!)
