Tarus Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Is anyone else concerned that in multiplay saber locks are going to go to the best scripter again? In Jedi Outcast when a non-scripter went against someone with a lock script it wasn't very easy to win, if even possible. How do you think this will turn out in Jedi Academy? Saber locks seem much more lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Another concern is that many people are undoubtedly keen on scripting the hell out of the lunge, twirl and kata moves Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iblis Reborn Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 i really hope they dont but there isnt much chance they wont ppl are always doing **** like that to get the advantage...its so cheap if it was meant to be that easy to use they would have made it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium77 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I don't like saberlocks at all in MP. There is nothing exciting about "who can hammer the fire button faster". I sure can do without that. It should be just turned off serverside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-wa jodar Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I always used force push to increase my chance of winning a saber lock in JK2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_101 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 hmmm it can be turned off or ive seen a mod for jo that detects scripts and kicks that person canna remember which mod tho , but im sure there will be some server side mods for anti-scripting .... i hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=X=Master HeX Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Heh, http://xmod.cat5camp.com I developed a simple (easily hacked) script detection mod for xmod. Basically I wrote it so I could get me a list of people in the CTF community that scripted. When I was done with my fun I released the client mod to the public. I'm not sure that I will create something like this for ja as it took more time then it was worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Solar Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I always drink 8 cups of capuccino before logging on to a server. My aim becomes terrible, but man oh man I pwnz j00 all in saber locks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapy Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Didn't the last game have it as able to be turned off server side? It should be similar on this one too. Saberlocks stink, its a click fest, sometimes i'm not hyped up enough on sugar and amp to win those things. Luckly force push will attempt to break them at level 3. As for scripting, I wouldnt see why you would need a script to do the moves? I have some slight trouble whipping out the kata moves exactly when I want, but all the others come pretty easily. It's not that hard to hit all those buttons at once, and with practice they should come out much easier then a scripter can. Not to mention, there are only so many keys that your finger has access to. Every button a scripter takes up for a simple move, is a button he can't use for a force power. I don't know about you, but my fingers are already crowded enough that I can only have my keys configured for one side of the force at a time.

Thazac Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Amen to that Reapy. I think there isn't a single button I have bound to something in JO, and it'll probably be like that in JA too. I mean, I HAVE to have some bound taunt messages, don't I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmacdonald's Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Using a script in a saber lock will usually allow you to win the saber lock and attack before the other guy gets a chance to use a force power. And of course in no force servers scripts WILL win over manual clicking, no questions asked. And you'll have a whole millisecond to take advantage of the scripter not being able to use any force powers against you from the time he/she hits the button to the time the special move is executed. Big advantage on your part there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
