Kurgan Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [Note to Mods, no, this isn't in the wrong forum, I'm inviting the Swampees, some of whom are old enough to remember this game!] Yep, that's right, after 8 long years (Feb. 1998), we're back playing this game! At least for a weekend or two. Currently I'm running the server on my Cable connection (which is fine for this game) at 69.180.215.175 Yes, this is MotS, the Jedi Knight Expansion, (the JK Companion Missions) Mysteries of the Sith! It's like JK in many ways, but also in other ways has more and better options (many more levels and skins, new powers and weapons, new gametypes). It's fun, and I'll be keeping the server up all day (at except when I sleep) starting tomorrow. Though if you log in tonight you may still catch me! And if I'm not there, no problem, practice and bring your friends! If you want to practice in JK1 instead, go log into jk.servegame.com (in your "join game" and enter that as your IP) and play on that server, which has nothign to do with me, but it's cool. I know, most of you guys haven't played in ages, so you suck. And yes, it does work on modern computers including the infamous Windows XP. -And YES, we know you have to find your CD's. -And YES, we know you have to clean them because they're scratched. -And YES, we know you have to install it. -And YES, we know you want the CD crack... -And YES, there is one... -And NO, I can't help you find it. -And YES, we know you have to configure your controls. Etc. But the server will be up, and waiting for YOU. If not, message me and we can get it ready. And NO, this isn't just some crazy idea that will never work. We've BEEN playing some big games lately! Also, MotS CTF RULES!! If you thought JK2/JA CTF was fast, try this! We had a four man game last night and it was awesome and tonight we played again and it was awesome! So join up for some fun, or let me know your ideas... 69.180.215.175 (Click 'Multiplayer' then 'Join Game" and then TCP/IP and paste the IP in) Want to know where to get MotS CTF? Go here: http://www.jediknight.net/ctf/addons4.html Direct Download: http://www.jediknight.net/ctf/motsctf.zip And no, it's not big, it's only 1.95 megs, so even dialup people can get it. And yes, MotS/JK1 are more forgiving to slower connections. And yes, it's easy to install (just unzip the "goo" file into your Episode Folder, no need to run Patch Commander if you don't want to). Looking for some strategy? Forgot how to play, and lost your manual? Go here: http://www.jediknight.net/hiss (click on MotS in the sidebar). Hope to see you there! PS: IF for some reason we have to put a password on, the Password will be posted here. Just FYI! PPS: JK.net was down for a bit, but it's back, so the links should work again!

te27ch Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah! MotS! Anyway, I started playing a few days ago with Kurgan and Co., and it's really great, especially when there are "a lot" (4+) of people. And it actually works on my dialup connection! Yay for the LucasArts of 9 years ago! Yay for mini-revivals like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 8 years! It won't be 9 years technically until Feb. 2007 (MotS only came out 4 months after JK!). Btw, if anyone was in our games (Lath, te27ch, I finally got your name right, Master Katarn/Drew, LS_Nick/Gridlock, Wilhuf I'm looking at you guys!) and got any cool screenshots, feel free to post 'em here!

ZBomber Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I love MOTS. I remember the day my friend got it..... holds awesome memories. I might play. I never actually played online because I had a ****ty internet connection that barely worked in 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Damnit, I no have MotS You gonna do it next weekend too kurgan? I might be able to procure me a copy by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm very tempted. I have my CDs right here.. but my wireless connection is annoyingly unrelliable and tends to disconect for a few seconds about every 20-40 minutes. This makes online gaming remarkably annoying.. *sigh* Maybe i'll give it a go anyway later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Defnitely looking forward to more MotS! Sorry no screens, although I was tempted to grab one after the cargo map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Is it up right now? I can't seem to connect, though it may be my firewall... edit: guess it's down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ja, I couldn't login this morning either. *Kick's Kurgan's MotS server box.* Is this thing on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yes next weekend too (barring some catastrophe). It's not exactly a dedicated server, because it won't be up while I'm sleeping. I sleep painfully close to my computer, which is far too loud to leave on while I'm resting! I'll be up within an hour from now and then be up all day long. I'm on central timezone btw.

te27ch Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 This was after some carbonite, but I wish my screenshot finger was faster so you could see the icy pieces fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 It looks like I was hit by falling luggage in that shot... lol! I'd post pics, but I can't from work. Btw, the rotation between maps (if nobody hits "okay" at the end) should be 30 seconds. Thanks for your patience. The maps are also on a 20 point/20 minute automatic rotation, just FYI. Report any problems to me via email (which I can check here at work: kurganx@comcast.net). PS: If you want to play a fun game while you wait for others to join, you can blast my body off the edge with splash damage and force me to respawn, and then find and kill me again, etc. Hehe... twisted.

This makes online gaming remarkably annoying.. *sigh* Maybe i'll give it a go anyway later.. Well considering the current map rotation is 20 minutes to a map, that should work out just fine!

Kurgan Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Tip for rusty newcomers... pick one of the Non-Jedi personalites to ease yourself into the game (and remember strafe running is faster than normal running!). Non-Jedi have preset force powers (or in the case of the Soldier, no usable force powers, only "defense" that protects you somewhat automatically).

Vagabond Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I need to put my pedals in for repair, but once I get them back, I'll see what I can do to get my MotS back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Kurgan coming at me with mines By the way if your hardware is up to it (it most likely is, it is 2006 after all), I suggest running MotS with full screen anti-aliasing. It removes the jagged pixels from edges and makes them look sharp. I am running MotS on a 21" screen at 1280 x 1024 with 8x anti-aliasing at 75 FPS. Also, I am playing MotS through 5.1 Dolby Digital surround. Kurgan informed me that I can play the MotS CD music through Windows Media Player while playing the game. The sound at Sith Temple is flat-out amazing. Exploding concussion rifle reports and the shattering thunderclaps overhead, all stirred up with the impeccable John Williams' score. The experience really reminds me why MotS deserves a permanent place in the Star Wars PC games hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Erm, I'll get the game by tomorrow. ._. I'm pretty sure I still have JK somewhere. In a little box buried under tons of crap in the upstairs closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yah, I played it a good many times in my youngin' days. Well, except for umm... MotS and JA I have played all Dark Forces games. (I'm pointing out that I played DF1.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Wow Wilhuf, you gave me a hell of a time back there! That was an intense series of games. I see you haven't lost your edge. I really am liking the Scout a lot though, I gave him short shrift back in the day (favoring the BH and Jedi), but he really is a fun class to play (mines, sniper rifle, and more mines!), even if he is easily cut down by the saber. What card do you have? I think mine is capable of FSAA (ATI All-in-Wonder 9600), but I don't know how to turn it on. The graphics and sound may be dated, but dang, the gameplay is hot, and the nostalgia factor is huge! But darn if that doesn't look good for MotS (just wish we had a mod to fix up the ever shrinking Hud/text).... I want some. That's it for tonight with the server, I'll fire it up again either before or after class in the morning, for anybody that missed out this weekend (or anyone who can break up some of the Monday blues...). And hopefully we'll do it all again next weekend! We had a nice group today too (even if I had to be in an out during the day). We really should have a big KFY game soon (I'm talking one with LOTS of people!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
