  1. Its not about long WIP threads in general. If its a thread about one project with things related to that one project, that's fine. That's what it should be. This is about huge threads, some the biggest on the forum, with just random stuff people are making, unrelated to each other. On your second point, the forum is called WIPs, Teasers, and Releases. People can use it for releases, its been that way since the beginning. I guess the issue is people want them to be tagged as such.
  2. Well, I noticed you were kinda the first person to use that format @@Jeff, which I understand your reasoning. You were pumping out frankensteined models like it was literally your job, and you always posted with the attitude that you're making these, but people can have them if they want. Makes sense. But others seemed to catch on to that format, hence the issue. Even people that only have a handful of mods that they're spending weeks on (rightly so) are hidden in a larger thread. I suppose banning them isn't the best option, but enforcing rules for them could work. I'd probably give Jeff a free pass simply because his thread is the largest, with the most links. Although I seem to remember a lot of them being in big packs, so maybe link the packs or a dropbox folder or something? Either way though, I think separate threads for projects should be advised unless the user feels it's more sensible to use one. And if they feel that way, require them to keep it organized.
  3. This has been recognized multiple times before, but too many people freaked out for us wanting to be more strict about it. I personally think that large WIP threads should not be allowed. There are multiple reasons for this, both in the interest of the author and the reader. Your mods don't get found easilyIf they aren't allowed to be hosted in our file section, why would you want to bury it in a massive thread for nobody to find?ConfusionDisorganizationClutterEach mod doesn't get the attention that it could or shouldI think part of the reason people are using these massive threads is to not clutter the forum with separate threads and make it easier, but it's doing the complete opposite. I think the other main reason people do it, is to avoid as little of critiquing as possible. A cluttered thread is least likely to promote fluid critique, because they post a new project randomly in the thread before the older ones could be acknowledged. I had never seen this done on FileFront or the Void or other modding forums. Perhaps they didn't allow it. I'm in favor of not allowing it. I avoid those threads at all costs to save my brain from having an OCD attack. EDIT: on what Ashura said as a solution: Nobody will want to do that. Some people have dozens of models and mods that they'd have to do that for. The simple and sanest solution would be to disallow it from now on.
  4. Why not use one of the automatic builds?
  5. Would be fun to do JKHub articles in this format. I always wanted to do something like that.

    No you said they follow you, instead of attack you. Doing nothing is another issue.

    You have to edit the NPC files. Change the playerTeam to TEAM_ENEMY and enemyTeam to TEAM_PLAYER.

    lol

    Probably should have announced what happened here @@DT85. Now the only visible thing to people is 'lol'
  9. Are you planning on releasing for JK2 as well? the FOR JEDI ACADEMY just seems like you're screaming it and it's redundant.
  10. I don't think that's possible to do through a browser with PHP/JS/HTML, etc. Could be wrong. GameTracker has that option but you need their desktop client for that to work.
  11. The servers should show up fine. Make sure you choose "Internet" at the top options instead of Local.
  12. I want something like what I posted above. Maybe I can do it easier now that you changed some things, but if you want to at least get a layout similar to that I'd be glad to then style it to my liking.
  13. Topic moved to Mod Requests forum.
  14. I'm curious why the styling needs to be split up at all. Why not have it all in one file?
  15. Yes, and actually release it as an official release here on JKHub so it gets more exposure. And yeah, I'd say it's nearly at a 1.0 state, however it's an ongoing, open source project, so just because it's an official release doesn't mean that its "final." I know they have a few bigger things they want to implement, including rend2, but those are long ways off in terms of being implemented and bug-free. They'd be in a 2.0 release or something.
  16. All builds you see on builds.openjk.org are automatic compiles. They aren't releases. Technically OpenJK hasn't been released yet. That's why I say don't worry about it. You can check the commits on Github yourself, there hasn't been much of anything changed for quite some time. They really should have done a 1.0 release last year. Its in a perfect condition for that, in my opinion.

  18. Nothing has really been done since you originally posted this, so whatever is the latest Windows build is going to be about the same as the latest one. Nobody is currently working on OpenJK from what I've seen.
  19. Come visit us at Shadow Order. We love taking in new players. You can find us at the IP address "so.jk3.in" and our website is shadoworder.com.
  20. Make sure your paths are correct in Radiant, to your base folder.
  21. Yes, but I find that a bit refreshing in Star Wars, because there aren't any female villains in the films. There are only a couple of them outside of the films.
  22. Keep this on topic, guys. Discussing other mods and games that he has no part of is silly.
