StarScrap Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Does anyone remember how hard it sometimes was to swim down in JK? For example, it the water gates in the aquaduct level of JK (right after you get the saber), you raise the water and have the little space in which to jump so you can go back down. But it's increadably hard to start swimming down! You just go along the surface. Ā Anyway, I'm just hoping they fix that somehow in JO (maybe if you hit jump while looking down in the water you dive?)
GonkH8er Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I believe crouching was the easiest was to get underwater
SithSeeD Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I was playing JK today,... that very level infact. Anyways I just use the crouch key or look down and then press the forward key. I always thought it was relatively easy to move around in the water. The only hard part was getting out of the water. Ā SithSeeD Ā Ā "I'm no Jedi. I'm just a guy with a lightsaber and a few questions."
StarScrap Posted January 26, 2002 Author Posted January 26, 2002 WHOA! Thanks Gonk, I never noticed that. :rolleyess
JPMaximilian Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I don't like the swimming in JK either. I wish you could just look down and you'd swim down, instead of crouching, like most games. Ā When enemies are swimming around they look like they are on jet-skis the way water shoots up around them. I also didn't like the way you had no way to see how much oxygen you had left. Sure, it might not be realistic to have an 'Oxygen Meter'. But a person would be able to tell when they're running out of air so theres no other way to do it.
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 it didnt bother me to much. After a while you got used to the amount of time you could be under water and jsut out of instinct you cam up for a breather.
Omne Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I never had a problem doing it, but I didn't like it.

Redwing Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I had a few problems with that in the beginning, only because Kyle has roughly the underwater endurance of...well, me. It was longer in MotS, but still, you should be able to hold your breath for quite a little bit if you're a Jedi and all. Ā Come to think of it, the perfect solution would be to allow you to pick up a TPM-style breather. Ā *sudden paranoid question* Hey, do we even know if there will be water in JKII at all?
GonkH8er Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Well there's lava, sludge, ice, and space, so we can assume theres water. Ā Ā I'm pretty positive there is.... Ā Ā oh, by the way, everyone go to canyon oasis now, go underwater, get the thermal dets, arm one, and hold fire. while holding fire, get out of the water. Ā Ā Thats the only bug i ever found in jediknight
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 very clever gonk...though its not a big bug
GonkH8er Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 but its rather amusing. it looks rather uncomfortable
Metallus Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Swiming was one of my favorite parts in JK . In third-person mode, you could really see the detailed swiming animation (different animations for going forward and backward are a plus). Much better than some of the other shooters when it comes to swimming physics. Ā Anyway, that's just my $.02

Ā Speaking of swimming, the fastest way to get across a river/stream is to skip jump (strafe jump on the surface ) it's VERY FAST.
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 strafe + anything was faster , no idea why that was...i just tried to strafe run then, i fell over after about 10 metres
acdcfanbill Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 i though the RtcW animations for swimming looked good! hopefuly we will get some good looking animations like that to add to the watery grave... erm atmosphere
CaptainRAVE Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Im sure the animations will be amazing ........I remember how hard it was to swin in JK...........but im sure JK2 will be much better (obviously)....technology has come a long way since then
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 well if you think about it swimming is pretty hard in real life let alone with a keyboard and mouse
Desslock Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Originally posted by Millions o' Monkeys well if you think about it swimming is pretty hard in real life let alone with a keyboard and mouse Ā Dunno about that. A keyboard would make a good underwater paddle Ā I'd like to see a force power that created a funnel in the water that allowed the casting jedi to get a quick breath. Not in JK, but a book or movie or something.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I hope in JO we can breathe underwater....and if we cant a mod will soon enable us to
Agen Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 What's the bug gonk is talknig about? i can't host a tc/ip game on my comp no-more it crashes.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Yea Gonk, tell us what happens. I havent got JK installed anymore so I cant try that........
Spider AL Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Ah yes, I believe the bug Gonk's referring to is the "swimming in mid air" bug. As I recall it works with punching as well as thermal dets. Basically, as you jump out of the water while throwing (or punching) you remain horizontal, and look as though you're hovering, and you can move about like that for a short period. It's fun
CaptainRAVE Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 That seemed to randomly happen all the time when you were just upright and wouldnt move.......Kyle looked really dumb .....we all blame this off topic discussion on you Gonk
StarScrap Posted January 26, 2002 Author Posted January 26, 2002 What's wrong with off topic discussion?
