KiLLeR_SqUiRReL Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 hey azymn, remember me? well, i know you get this a lot, and beta 2 is probably near release, but i was wondering if i could get a sneak-peak? if so, email it to me at matthewjohnston@mail.com Thanks in advance!
Azymn Posted April 2, 2003 Author Posted April 2, 2003 The final beta is nearing completion, with these things remaining: 1) I'm implementing a new system for making MercBots through a single config file so you won't have to edit any botfiles. This same config file will allow a number of other adjustments to bots as well. 2) There will be 7 Customizable Lightsaber Blades, one for each Episode of StarWars (1-6) and one ancient blade (ExarCun's Blade Re-skin) - i will be skinning the first 6. 3) The New Force Sides menus need to be tweaked for maximum usability when creating your character, including the saving and loading of forceConfig files. 4) Saber Hilt Breakability needs to be reimplemented 5) Lightning and Drain must be properly blockable 6) A number of small, miscellaneous balance tweaks Once these are finished, the final beta will be released. I will not be adding any significant features between now and then, to ensure a sooner release date. * * * * * * * Lord_Plo_Koon: Got your email, you're on the list. Reaper: By all means, whip out some new flameHit FX - I'd like to see what you can come up with. Kaia: I know what causes the scaling problem, but it's at the bottom of the to-fix list. SqUiRReL: You're on the list to get a copy of beta 3. Thanks for supporting the mod, even in it's infancy.
KiLLeR_SqUiRReL Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 really? im on the list for beta 3?! OMG! IVE NEVER BEEN ON THE LIST! THANK YOU! oh, and it was my pleasure supporting the mod. i loved beta 1, and now that beta 2 is almost here, and i get to test beta 3, omg, im about to feint...
Azymn Posted April 2, 2003 Author Posted April 2, 2003 Oh...one more big thing that must be added to beta 3 that i forgot to mention: Admin commands. The code for these has been provided by the Jedi Academy Mod creator cHoSen One (ZeRoCooL in these forums), so they shouldn't take much time to implement. SqUiRReL (and others who are new to the thread), before you faint, a few clarifications: ForceMod 1 had one release in beta form. ForceMod 2 has already had two beta releases, beta 1 and beta 2. This next release is simply the third beta (beta 3) of ForceMod 2.
kazesan Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Any official news on a open beta or public final release. This mod seems pretty top quality and I wouldn't mind playnig it. So you can either e-mail me the newest beta please, or tell me when this beautiful piece of code hits the open market.
ObiKast Posted April 5, 2003 Posted April 5, 2003 Guys, Guys I see the new images of this mod, and I love it But I dont have the Beta version:( . You can give-me the link of the Beta version, or send to my email obikast@zmail.pt , or Jonas_eu@hotmail.com

DeathPhantom Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 i am trying put together a trailer/preview for the upcoming spring release of ForceMod2 and i am short on actors. if anyone would consider helping please email me at n64101101@hotmail.com
Flamehart Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Hey guys. Haven't had time to find any bugs in forcemod lately, school's been pounding on me and i had to reformat, no worries I still have the mod Anyway, Azymn, I would also like to be on the beta 3 list if at all possible. I will return to beta testing the current version as soon as I possibly can.
arief_9 Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 Hey Azymn can I test it too? My email address is arief_9@hotmail.com please I want to test your mod:D
KiLLeR_SqUiRReL Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 well, its obvious we're all wating and excited about this! i hope its out soon!
bliv Posted April 17, 2003 Posted April 17, 2003 Beta testing has been going on for well over a month. And that's the 2nd beta. All the faults have been identified and are being worked on by Azymn. Just hang in there. It's good and worth waiting for.
arief_9 Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Does this mean i can test it? BTW killer_squirrel can you send the beta2 to me cause i wann try it PLEASE:confused:
Azymn Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 I just got to work on the mod for a few hours last night (finals are over ). Here's just a few things coming up in the next beta: - Brand new mercbot system using a cfg file. This means you can start the game and it'll load appropriate bots as mercs without you having to change a single file. And when you want to choose who is and who isn't a merc, it's all in one file. - 7 different lightsaber blades to choose from, each loosely based on an Episode, with Episode 0 being an ancient sith blade (Exar Cun's). - Two new merc classes: HotShot and Trooper. Beta 3 is finally on it's way.... [edit] meaning i now have time to work on it [/edit]
rut-wa jodar Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Cool News Azymn I will be checking my email every hour until beta3 arrives. I am really looking forward to testing this next beta.
Azymn Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 ...i made it sound like it was 'in the mail' Beta 3 has not been sent yet, i'm working on it right now. I only mean to say i've finally started to pound away at it. But it is close to release.

My mistake entirely My impatience got the better of me It will certainly be worth waiting a little while longer:) BTW ! I donated some credits to you as a small gesture of appreciation. keep up the great work !!!!
Dark Reaper Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Azymn, I'm sorry that I didn't yet have sent you the efx,cuz I'm having some prob's with Mandalorian revenge and school and stuff... but you will get it today or tommorow
bliv Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Sounds good. Anyone like to update me on the tweaks since beta 2. I really enjoyed playing beta 2. Hope this improves further on Forcemod.
SithLordNR1 Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Hey! Can I be a beta-tester too? I really think it sounds like a great mod! If you'll let me be a beta-tester just PM me... The I'll Pm you, my email-address! Thanks!
Mace_Windu21 Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 I was wondering if the testers for beta 2 will be on the list for beta 3 testers??? Please notify me soon, thx!
Padawan_7 Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Azymn, In case you haven't had a chance to notice, BloodRiot has updated his Mandalorian pack. Among other things, he has segmented the rocket on the jetpack so that it can now be made to disappear when 'fired' in a mod like RenegadeOfPhunk's "Movie Battles." I know that you said that you didn't want to add any more new features at this time, but this would be a great addition for Force Mod 3.
