ArtifeX Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Actually, in Beta 2, which is close to release, running towards your opponent will give you added attacking power, but it will also give you an equal and opposite defensive penalty. So, someone running at you is going to have to be very careful not to get nailed by a clever defender who sidesteps and takes advantage of that penalty. You'll actually get bonuses for walking as opposed to running, as well. Originally posted by Quiwan First off I think you mod is a step in the right direction. Saber fighting has really down hill since the new patches have came out. I don’t know if any one else has brought up this idea, but if they did ill repeat it. My 2 Cents for the mod: If you want more realistic saber fighting change the run speed, or make it a disadvantage when some is sprinting towards you. Allow there hits to do more damage but have it difficult to hit there target. Maybe introduce a run/sprint key that when held down longer the player gets winded and has a harder time hitting a target. It just seems to me that when dueling you really don’t see anyone constantly running around. Keep up the Great Work!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avirexx Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Err sorry if this has been asked but how do you install the Promod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtifeX Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Originally posted by Avirexx Err sorry if this has been asked but how do you install the Promod? Just unzip the file you downloaded into your {jk2 install folder}/GameData directory, then launch the game using the provided, "promod.bat" file, or in-game through the setup->mods controls. You can also launch the game and search for ProMod servers much easier using qtracker (http://www.qtracker.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezman Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 ArtifeX, in case you just missed my point in my previous, annoyingly long post , let me quote the yet unanswered question: Originally posted by Bluezman Cycling through saber stances. (...) So I wonder if there is a way to make each stance selectable with a single key rather that cycling through them. Or maybe have it cycling in both directions like the inventory. So you could maybe use the mousewheel to cycle up or down. This way you could switch back and forth between two stances easier. Hoping you didn't just decide to ignore me...

razorace Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I think it's possible to do that without a mod. Maybe with a cvar/command or script.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Yeah should be easy to do with a script. 1 normal change saber style button 1 button that cycles saber styles twice That should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezman Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Thanks guys, that's a good idea. However, I can already hear people complaining about scripters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis_Aureus Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Well it is a script that makes something a bit more simple... but it's like using different crosshairs... it might make things a bit easier but it doesn't really affect gameplay much. Comming from Tribes2 where everyone uses scripts and where it is allowed I use the same logic as pure servers do there. Anything that doesn't affect gameplay directly to give you an edge is allowed... this could be enhancements like crosshairs, change of FOV etc. Tribes2 is built with scripts in mind so the server can actually disallow scripts that do not follow these rules... I wish all games were built like Tribes2... no cheaters there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightHawk420 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 So much could be learned from Tribes 2 example... wish more companies caught on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it might be a smart idea to put it in so nobody can complain about "ghey scripters" like people do a lot. Especially since this is supposed to be used in a competitive environment. This way it would be fair game ion the first place with no room for arguments. I'm fine with the script, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
