How to remove the "force bubbles"??

[Romanov77]

Hi people

 

 

Im a JO veteran who only recently picked up JA....the gamer looks fantastic (although a little heavier than the original.....for no reason)

 

however Ive 1 GREAT issue with it: (and 2 minor others)

 

 

1) Whenever I try to force pull/push, there's a ugly annoying force distortion effect (I call it force bubble )....how can I revert it back like it was in JO??

 

2) is my impression....or my initial saber is smaller than the one I wielded in JO??

Can I get a bigger one without cheating ??

 

3) Does diffierent hilt choice affect gameplay???

 

Thanks

Its good to have the Force with me again!!

Are you talking sp or mp?

look this line and change 1 to 0

seta cg_renderToTextureFX "1" to "0"

jampconfig & jaconfig in base folder

Not quite . While disabling cg_renderToTextureFX does the job, it will do more than that. In sp there's no other way I guess, but in mp you could alter the cgame and throw that [cite]superkewl "refraction" (well sort of) effect[/cite] out of cg_players.c (not that kewl really).

 

EDIT: Nah, just found out that the other things affected by cg_renderToTextureFX aren't really noticable, so just stick to Buffy's solution.

 

As for your other questions:

2) Well, for sp you could edit the sab files to increase the blade length of all sabers (yours and those of all npcs) at the same rate - I guess that wouldn't count as cheating.

For mp - no idea.

3) Not with the vanilla hilts. However, there are mods that provide a choice of sabers with special properties (but I'd say using those special sabers would count as cheating).

the only other thing i recall rendertotexturefx affecting, is the repeater orb.

[nizwiz]

That, and the player spheres, and something about cloaking effects - though I don't really know what. And then there's some code about a "distortion trail effect for rockets" (which, however, doesn't seem to be used at all), and some definetely unused code about a "vehicle heat effect". Of course, that's about mp; as for sp, the effects could or could not be included - I haven't investigated further (save for the repeater orb, which is not working in sp; and the player spheres, of course).

The blobs......THEY ARE GONE!!!

 

Thank you guys!!!

 

 

Onem ore question:

 

Do you think that single saber is a viable choice? I like staff and dual...but I come from JO where I could use Strong style with devastating effects....
