BloodRiot Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Awesome Phunk. Hope to see the changes soon... my motherboard is on the fritz but i'll be sure to test it asap. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 15, 2003 Author Share Posted May 15, 2003 OK - Movie Battles has reached VERSION 1.0 It is now officially released. There should be a news post going up anytime now, and I will be sending the file to the various JKII sites. The only change from Beta Build 9 is a couple of small issues with mind trick which had been found. Apart from that it's identical. Thanks to all those on these forums who have offered advice and tested the mod for me. It's great to be at this stage now... Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 Just to make sure no-one get's confused... I've changed my site so that you download a .zip file which you then extract into your Movie Battles directory rather than making the .pk3 download'able directly. ...I was told this is the proper way to do it... I repeat - you now download a .zip file. And then you extract the contents of that .zip file into your 'Movie Battles' directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-wa jodar Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Great Mod Renegade This mod just keeps improving as time goes on. I hope you don`t mind a few suggestions. I would like to see in future updates more focus on bot alterations. 1) Ability to select custom bots. 2) Jetpacks useable by bots 3) slightly quicker force regeneration by meditating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 Thx rut-wa jodar About bots - I mentioned this a while back in this thread... Making sure this mod had 'full' proper bot support was doubling the time it took to make the mod. Which is why I made a deliberate choice to not provide it and get on with other things. Now, I can understand why you want it etc. Not only are there not many people playing online right now (it's only just gotten out of beta...!), but their's also the 56 kers amongst you. So, I will try and look into the couple of things you've mentioned. But I'm making no promises. This was meant to be an online game from the start - played with other human players... About the force meditation thing - I've gone back and forth on this idea, since I've gone back and forth on how much force the Jedi should have period! But, I think I'm coming back to liking this idea - so you may well see this in a future update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UDM Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 i think bots do use jetpacks if you set them to mandalorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 No - they don't. If you notice, bot Mandalorians use jetpack-less models at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Are there any servers running your mod renegade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 Not as far as I'm aware. I've had to take my server down. (It wasn't exactly kicking anyway!) One thing I haven't put in is a filter for Movie Battles games in the server list! Doh! I'll have to get that in an update at some point... This has only just gotten out of beta - so I'm hoping people start getting servers set up soon. I guess one way to get the ball rolling is to write a quick e-mail to places like jolt.co.uk (or whatever equivalent for your own country) and ask them if they can host the mod on one of their servers. If enough people ask... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 btw - I am VERY interested in talking to mappers who are interested in making SAGA maps - with Movie Battles play specifically in mind. It seems a shame to have all this realistic stuff in, but then not have a realistic goal to achieve! :/ If you are interested, PLEASE get in touch ASAP... Thx.

RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 I've put up an updated version of the mod (v1.1) up on my site (see my sig.) which allows you to add a 'Movie Battles' filter to the server list. I thought this was too important a feature to leave too long, since it's very hard at the moment to see when Movie Battles servers are up... I apologise for not getting this into the first release :/ Since this is a VERY minor change, version 1.0 servers are fully compatible with v1.1 and vice versa. Unless their running as pure servers, which means even the smallest of code changes disallows connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Well I'm glad that you finally put up a filter... Too bad not much servers are running it cause fighting bots get tiring after a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master_thomas Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Well, I haven't come hear much recently. I see you quoted me at yor site. Looks great, Renegade. This is a great mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 Thx MT Hope you don't mind me quoting you (and the others I've quoted). Just seemed the best way to get people to at least try the mod out... The are now usually a couple of servers up in the evenings (UK time). And there is talk of up to 3 dedicated servers being set up soon As I've been playing the last couple of days, I am reasonably happy with the class balance. I am planning a couple of small tweaks for the next update in that regard, but nothing major. (To be honest, with classes this diverse, it's very difficult for me to ever turn around and say -with 100% confidence - that the classes are now PERFECTLY balanced! But it is pretty damn close at the moment imo. There really isn't that much in it at all...) I am still REALLY hoping mappers get in touch with me about SAGA orientated maps - it really is the big final piece of the puzzle for this mod. I'm not that interested in trying to vastly improve on the current SAGA system anymore (i.e. the SAGA 2.0 stuff). I think a few maps using the current SAGA system would be good enough at this point. ...in other words - the only time limit to having objective-orienented play in Movie Battles is the amount of time it would take mappers to make the maps! My end is pretty much ready right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman3ooo Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I've found a free dial-up as a substitute. Of course that probally won't work well to a UK server, even if its dedicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeOfPhunk Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Are you running on Windows or Linux? (There is a known problem with Linux which I will be sorting in the next update...)
