digl Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 Great news!, that mode will be great with a little more balance. Thanks Changkhan
Lord Nodata Posted May 20, 2002 Author Posted May 20, 2002 Originally posted by ChangKhan[RAVEN] I have a couple ideas for this game mode, so once we release the MP source code (which shouldn't be too much longer from now), I plan on possibly making a mod that makes team-based jediVmerc games have stricter rules and be a bit more balanced and fun... Awesome! Can't wait for that source! P.S.-And if you don't code the jedi limit on teams, we will!
SilentDark Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 How do I connect? I tried adding the server to favorites, I tried typing connect 198.49.215.90 in console, and I tried entering the IP into gamespy. I can't get on the server. How???
Lord Nodata Posted May 22, 2002 Author Posted May 22, 2002 the server is up and down (depending on the schedule) so if you can't connect...simply it's NOT up. Also I'm editing my original post in this thread to let everyone know that the Vader and Boba Fett models WILL be allowed on the server!
normal Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 To enforce teams, why not find (or program yourself), an adminbot which will have access to rcon so it can kick users that are on the wrong teams, ect?

Damn! Well, this inspired me to port WAB to JK2 (http://www.baz.com/quark/software/wab/) I'll see what I can do with it
normal Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Hrm, well, WAB can detect weapon usage (I think), if that's true, then it should be able to determine who is using a weapon and who is using a saber.
Lord Nodata Posted May 22, 2002 Author Posted May 22, 2002 NICE FREAKIN WORK! Tell me if you get it working! So can you set it to say: Nobody on Blue should be using a saber, and nobody on Red should be using a weapon? Also: See if you can set it so that it will only allow a certain number of Jedi PER TEAM. So maybe we could set the teams so that each TEAM has like 2 jedi, and the rest mercs.
Sithcloak Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 The idea of Jedi vs. Merc is awsome the only prob is that no-one wants to be merc! I was the only merc, and it was fun to go one on one with jedi the only prob was I had no mercenarys to team up with or learn from so I looked like an idiot to all the jedi running around. The problem is the Jedi are ready from the time they start, the mercenary on the other hand has nothing except a bryar and his stun batton. They should give him at least the ST rifle if not more, its awsome when you can decide 'which gun should I use to destroy this jedi?' just like the jedi can in reverse with their force powers. They should rename it to Jedi vs. Bounty Hunter and add a few more weapons and a jetpack or something, I'm thinking about creating a mod for this. Balance is key for this to work. Sithcloak

Sithcloak Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Your creating a mod? EDIT: Sorry didn't see the other posts, please forgive me for my 'newbieness' on the subject Sithcloak
normal Posted May 22, 2002 Posted May 22, 2002 Hmm, from what i've read, someone has already begun a 'WAB' to 'JAB' conversion, i'm going to look into that, as well as continue my own project.
Lord Nodata Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 keeping this thread alive...the server is up now... any new developments on JAB?
Lord Nodata Posted May 28, 2002 Author Posted May 28, 2002 added details about Force power disabling to my original post...
Sithcloak Posted June 1, 2002 Posted June 1, 2002 I'll be there as soon as I can, if I can. Sithcloak
raziel_spawn69 Posted June 8, 2002 Posted June 8, 2002 hey... great ideas guys!..... i have some comments jetpacks MUST be in the mod..... they should NOT have limited fuel but instead they will fire for say 6 seconds then you need to land and wait till fuel is FULL ( not just a little or else the old bunnie tactic will occur ) take a look at the game "giants" to get an idea if you need... i think the 2-1 ratio of jedi's to mercs is good... the guy who thought up the base idea is almost dead on what i was thinking ( great minds think alike yet idiots seldom differ ) in that there should be $h|tloads of bots to simulate the movies..... maybe .2 bots per jedi and .5 bots per merc is there a possibility of vehicle coding? imagine the scene in ep2 where the yoda patrol shows up and saves the day? imagine that in the game.... yoda + 8 rebels show up in the yoda patrol plane and yoda sticks the bricks on his foot and drives away shooting ( bricks make up for pint-sizedness ) while the rebels go out and act as meat-shields for the jedi's?
defalc Posted June 8, 2002 Posted June 8, 2002 How do i connect using the ip? And what's the server name?
Lord Nodata Posted June 9, 2002 Author Posted June 9, 2002 Originally posted by defalc How do i connect using the ip? And what's the server name? to connect using the IP, just bring down the console (SHIFT+~) and type this: connect 198.49.215.90 That will connect you if there is a free slot open. And as far as a homepage for the mod we are working on (the ERU's Team). It will be up shortly...patience...
Sithcloak Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 I haven't been able to find your server. What is it called again? Edit: Sorry just saw the above post. Sithcloak
Lord Nodata Posted June 10, 2002 Author Posted June 10, 2002 it should still be up. Go into the console and type this: connect 198.49.215.90 and that should connect you to it...
