IrocJeff Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Since I downloaded this and installed it and now I'm mapping will people need to have JA:E to play anything I create? Link to comment
Circa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Uh. I guess that depends on what you're creating. If you're making something that requires JKE/OpenJK to run, then yes. Those would probably only be a few things, like a large number of NPCs, or huge textures, etc. Are you making maps for the project? Or just to run for yourself? Link to comment
IrocJeff Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well, Just normal SP stuff but I like the idea of those extra weapons like the droid blaster which is why I ask. Link to comment
Circa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well then yes, and feature you take advantage of in your map will need to include the code portion of the mod. Also keep in mind that the mod is still in alpha stages, and in the future will not just be a code mod. JKE will include much more than just those code changes. Unless redsaurus plans on keeping it separate. Link to comment
eezstreet Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We can add new entities and stuff that might be beneficial to the level design. @@Lazarus in particular pointed out to me that you can't even get vehicle-bound NPCs to follow waypoints. In terms of JK2 stuff, I'm not honestly sure. I at one point considered doing an X-wing mission on Artus but I'm not sure how it would factor into the gameplay. It would probably be between Artus Mine and Artus Topside, while you're riding the trolley. Lazarus likes this Link to comment
IrocJeff Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 What do you mean by new entities.. give me some examples. Also, I don't really need to control vehicles in game or anything like that. My main reason for using this was new weapons is all. Link to comment

My main reason for using this was new weapons is all. At the moment the game does not support adding new custom weapons (without coding of course) but this is one of the end goals of the project.I dunno about new entities though, it mostly depends on what mappers want.

Formost I point to t2_trip and h2_dpr .. something (the one where you are captured and have to play the "get out of jail" game with commander Rax. In there is an AT-ST send after you (asuming it has an NPC in it to control it), I am trying to figure out still how to do it. Link to comment

The ATST NPC is the one that's used in t2_dpred, not the vehicle. Link to comment
Beyond Heretic Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think the vehicles in Jedi Academy would need to have their controls almost redone to make an X-Wing section bearable. Now a section where you have to fight some AT-STs while Jan in the Raven's claw gives firing support that might be lots of fun. Link to comment
