Katarn07 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I want to know what will be in there. Will it be just this mod, each map seperately (please do, I still don't have a cable modem), MP maps (is you have time of course) and bots (if you have time as well)? I didn't see this any where in the FAQ, if it is, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTeg Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 The first thing that will be in this section is the demo. The demo will be split up in three files: a game file (ca. 11 MB), a music file (at least 7 MB) and a video file (at least 9 MB) We will see how we´ll handle it with the complete mod... Some team members have only 56k modems and we are trying our best to find a good solution for everybody (though it would be irritating to make thousands of file combinations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_P47 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Downloading map by map would be bad, they each have source files besides the map that they need. I personally would prefer 1 file because its simply cleaner and I if I didnt have DSL or cable Id find a place that did with a cd burner and get it. wouldent putting together the music,video, and game be kinda tricky for average people downloading it?

MilesTeg Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I think that´s all just an alternative to the one-file thing we will release. But if the complete mod really gets over 300 MB we could get problems finding a server that´ll host this monster in several versions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 I don't wanna make more work or put more thought into an already slow moving process, considering you don't update anymore, but why don't you make seperate files and 1 big file posted. That way cable modem people (like myself) have an easy downloading process, and other 56k modem people have an easier way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Yes, we do update! Apologies for things being slow in the past month but things have been really hectic. That isn't really a problem now - and it has really been a co-incidence that my computer bowled over aswell last weekend. Anyway, we're returning to the weekend update plan - as you can see I updated today, but next week is a big update. Besides, once the demo is out, you're not gonna care about the website for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted October 7, 2002 Author Share Posted October 7, 2002 I will still visit the sit, because I probably can't even download that much on a 28k or 56k (I'm not even sure). Kind of off the topic, but if I don't have a CD-RW drive but my friend does along with a cable modem, could he save the demo files to a CD and then could I take the files off of that disk (or copy them) and into my JO directory. Do I need a CD-RW drive for this to work? I really hope this isn't the case so I will be able to play the game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTeg Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Well, actually every CD-RW drive can make CD-R´s which are readable on every cd/ dvd drive. And yes, your friend can copy the files and you just have to copy them in a mod dir (e.g. C:\JediKnight2\Gamedata\darkforces\ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted October 8, 2002 Author Share Posted October 8, 2002 Thanks, and I know I really should not have posted that. I asked him in PE today, so I should be able to get my hands on the demo as well. I can't wait! ***I forgot the real reason I came here... I think the following things should be available for download there. ---Demo ---Trailor(s) ---Full MOD ---Each Level Seperately (for those selective users with 28k and 56k modems, like myself) And of course if you have the time... ---Bots ---MP Maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_P47 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 I think youd technically be able to use JO bots so we could just skin em. I could always port some old MP map favorites of mine from JK(cloud city,nar shadda) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 I think between the demo and full release you can also include m3ps of the soundtrack for Dark Forces. That would be REALLY cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Originally posted by Katarn07 I think between the demo and full release you can also include m3ps of the soundtrack for Dark Forces. That would be REALLY cool. We were going to do a sampler type thing, or at least I want Ben to, of the main themes from the soundtrack. In the demo there will be 4 tracks (I think) -Menu theme -Star Wars Fanfare, to Crow flyby -Secbase Explore -Secbase Action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Linux Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 we've got a package of wallpapers that are ready to download too, I just have to get Rich to put them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Woohoo, DF wallpapers. I hadn't thought of those. Great idea. I'm confused. Will the menu's music be that eery theme to DF (the opening credits music). I love that song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the one When we have a site that doesn't consist of "Klesk Server Administration" I'll do a news post. But whenever the site goes back online, I won't be able to do a proper update until the weekend. Luckily I have a couple of weeks off though, starting Sat, so I can work a lot more on the site. The FAQ is where my attention will be focused - I'll be posting about that soon, so keep your eyes peeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted October 24, 2002 Author Share Posted October 24, 2002 I am currently downloading the wallpaper. I am getting a cable modem this Saturday, so I can definately download the upcoming demo right away! You should have thumbnails of what the wallpapers look like, just a thought.

Katarn07 Posted October 30, 2002 Author Share Posted October 30, 2002 Hey, can you change JO's MP3's as well to play DF's end credits instead of ANH's? Also, how will you do the credits? Will you combine them all into one scene like the movies or against the DF logo? ***When I say you, I meant WE as the players downloading this mod. Copy and paste it and rename the copy as endcredits or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesTeg Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I´ve found a proper (and uncommon) solution for the credits in the demo. We´ll see what we can do for the full mod. (I have no idea what´s possible concerning background images etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
