Tanqexe Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 If none of you mind, I'd like to reorganize and compile an overall OJP manual that will include sections on each aspect of the OJP mod. I. Overview II. HUD III. Dodge/Mishap System IV. Skill System V. Force System (I think that we can start thinking of Force users as a different class of fighters compared to saberists and gunners) VI. Saber System i. Basic Training ii. Advanced Training: versus saberists iii. Advanced Training: versus gunners iv. Advanced Training: versus Force masters VI. Gunner System i. Basic Training ii. Advanced Training: versus gunners iii. Advanced Training: versus saberists iv. Advanced Training: versus Force masters VII. CoOp Since that's a lot of information to compile and I'm also in the middle of some other IRL stuff, some help would be nice. Anyone interested?

razorace Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I like it. Do it! Sorry I missed this before. I don't know what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHockney* Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah do it! I'm sure you can come up with something better since no one reads mine Good luck covering everything without apparently over doing it like I did. For reading sake, I think rather than "OJP manual" as a title for the document, I think it should be "Read this, or you're an idiot!" ROFL! No offense to you guys who took a while to read it. Your like 90% of all people who try this mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Actually Hocky, I don't see any reason why we couldn't use your manual as the basis for the OJP manual. It just has to be added to html manual files on the repository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I tell everyone to RTFhockneyM but manuals just deter people a lot. I mean if they really want to start out and I'm (or someone else) not around to give them some pointers they can always read the manual, but most people just want to go and jump into the whole thing and brave the waves. It takes me about 5 minutes to give someone an idea of basic parrying, 2 if they're MBII players so it's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeLeXeL Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 LOL I dunno Maxstate, I think those who want the most out of this mod WILL actually read the manual. Maybe not to begin with, but would be comfortable knowing its there for reference. I think most newcomers will treat this like basejka and swing their sabers around. When they find this will get them nowhere they'll have a choice find out how OJP saber combat works, or be ignorant and put it to one side It would be nice to include an option or have it as part of the in-game intro to showcase a demo of typical saber battles in OJP, like a collage of some of the spectacular moves you can't do with basejka. Back on subject tho. I think serious players will have a peek at least. I mean, I jumped right into the game and picked up on the differences quickly. In my case however, I'd been looking for alternate ways of saber combat, so I was prepared when I first came across OJP with its sub-title ' a more realistic saber combat experience ' or words to that extent. I knew I didn't know everything and wanted to know more, so I read through the current revision of the manual. Not totally, but enough to relate what was written to what I experienced in-game, thus personally bringing about a more fuller understanding. **Learns - Force Enlightenment** --Peace-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensiform Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 What happened to the online wiki? Mediawiki is best imo for this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If they are serious players, or I think it should be interested players they will read it in order to get better. But launching it at any noob player that's looking for a mod to hook his life on is not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 What happened to the online wiki? Mediawiki is best imo for this type of thing. wikipedia is more for general information than a manual. Plus, if we have a wiki specific for OJP, that's another freakin' website to maintain. IMO, it's easier to just have one manual on the respository.
