2.2.0

=======

- Saber down honor code enforcement which includes:

--- Saber down = peace enforcement cvars

--- Saber down = no force usage cvars (attack or no force at all)

- Removed abusive admin commands requested (thanks everyone who voted)

- Tweaked x_cprotect to now truly protect the admin from players

- Added cvars to control duel starting and ending health/shields and saber ignition

- Ability to jump on a players head without slipping off

- Ability to unlock the yellow dfa forced turn

- Added a 3 mode mute public chat cvar system

- Freeze Tag mode now available to xmod servers

- New help system introduced for clients and admins (/help)

- Corrected some errors in message targets

- Changed /x commands to /gc to prevent confusion

- Authing can now be done via /x auth, /gc auth, or /auth

- Ability to enable the single player pullstab move

- Ability to enable Jedi Outcast style no force requirements for moves

- Ability to turn off coup de grace ground moves

- Cvar'd all force costs for moves (including flipkick)

- Repaired flipkick so it can be totally disabled

- Added a team chat location system to add location markers in maps

- New Super Smart Suicide System (s2 suicide system)

- Added a roll enhancement cvar that makes roll feel more like the old version

- Added a cvar to allow you to speed/rage the old jo style

- New emote system (/emote)

- Added change name and csay to subadmin command list

 

Please Please Please include something about /help in your newmotd guys. I spent 24+ hours on the 1,732 line help system code. Just about every aspect of the mod can be explained in game.... meaning, forgot the name of that cvar... just check /help cvar

 

For 2.3.0 I will be working on cvaring the damage system a bit so we can play with fair amounts. I will focus mostly on saber throw and anti-randomizing it. On top of that I will be working on a simple way to create .fix files in game. If there are any brave people out there I describe how to write them on the xmod2 site. A bunch of fix files for at least CTF/siege maps would be wonderful.

This is a template you can copy and paste to make a xmod.cfg file. PLEASE REVIEW THE CVAR VALUES AND CHANGE THEM AS NEEDED. I USED MOSTLY DEFAULT VALUES, YOU WILL PROBABLY WANT DIFFERENT VALUES THAN THE ONES ON THE TEMPLATE.

awesome awesome. thanks for the update Hex, this promises to be another set of great improvements. And thanks ami for the template.

[Vulkan_HFB]

Again thanks for all your efforts, I've uploaded the mod to my server and it's running just great.

 

If you're adding the force jump+force speed move to the next version I think the question begs to be asked: What are the chances of seeing the various staff kick moves get converted from single to multi player in one of the future versions of your mod?

[TK-8252]

Sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing xMod on some of the FFA servers. That anti-laming cvar looks interesting... *raises eyebrow*

[kazesan]

This mod is great. I absolutely love the pull stab/slash moves. They are really just the greatest thing since sliced bread. Also I dislike the fact that servers can have no force drain for katas or special moves. Meaning SOMEONE is going to spam katas or butterflys infinitely.

 

Also the honor code is funny but only somewhat logical. The saber drop system is good yet I can walk up to someone with saber down and shoot them in the head at no consequence.

 

A few of the moves are also jittery. Roll seems to lag (not a big complaint it looks fine IMO) The yellow DFA isn't really controllable. You seem to spin about 45 degrees instead of 90 and when you try moving the camera spazzes out. The same thing happens when you indefinitely wall cling with g_debugmelee set to 1.

 

As much as I hate kick, I'm glad to see that it can be stopped with the new pull stab moves, or the fact that absorb/protect combo should eliminate its deadliness for a short period of time. Overall I think this is the greatest mod for JK2/JKA ever. The fact that it does SOOOOOO much and it is serverside makes it amazing.

 

Keep up the good work Hex.

There really shouldn't be a "consequence" for laming an invincible person since, well, they weren't harmed!

Nice mod! I will watch to see if this honor thing works properly.

 

TK8252MJL : Is the Xmod on the Jk3files.com server?

No, we're using Jedi Academy Reloaded. Although I hope that cHoSeN oNe will adapt an honor enforcement system for his mod. I've already sent the suggestion to him.

 

BTW, call me TK.
