Please stop. There are multiple people that have this habit and it’s obnoxious. It happens way too often, and just results in pissing us off. We already get notifications for submissions.
We will get to it when we get to it. It’s not as simple as pressing a button, so we have to set aside a bit of time to take care of them.

If you get directed to this thread going forward, you are guilty of this and I, or another staff member, are asking you to stop.

Keep in mind he got official approval from Lucasfilm to do this, which means they knew about the patreon already. I’m pretty sure that patreon has been active for his overall channel for more than just this project.

It's already a feature, I just have it disabled because I never really saw the point of it. I may consider adding it back.
It's a valid concern, however we didn't create the JKCommunity discord, and we can't really control people continuing to create JK-related things. We can control our brand and that's about it. The plan is never to make a JKHub discord. When I say Discord integration, I mostly just mean a plugin that allows people to create an account here using their Discord login, which nearly everyone in the gaming world will have. We won't be making a server or sending our traffic elsewhere necessarily. I'm not entirely sure how it'll work yet but your points are well made, for sure. We can't control where people post their stuff though. Some people are just straight up against using JKHub entirely, for no good reason other than ignorance from my perspective. Posting something on Discord will just get lost, but a forum thread or post can be seen at any time easily.
I love Discord and feel like it's a tool that serves a different purpose than a forum does nowadays, but they can go hand in hand, it's just a matter of people realizing that a forum has it's uses.
The problem is you're the only group that is doing that. If more clans and groups would do the same, it would feel less spammy. I'm willing to reduce the time limit on how often you guys can post, but I am also considering adding a new media section where artwork and other media like videos can be showcased a little better.

You mean you don't want to run around as a turkey in JKA?
It's already a feature of this new software (called databases), we just never got around to moving everything over because it's going to be a massive pain. There isn't a conversion tool that will make it automatic, we'll have to manually copy and paste things over. But it will be worth it in the end I think.

Control is free until June 17th.

Just remember that creating the model itself isn't going to be JKA specific. So you can go look up tutorials for Blender on YouTube to get you started learning how to use the software. Once you have the saber made, you could then reference the JKA-specific ones or ask for help with getting it into the game.

Just a word of caution: We're absolutely booming on our {JoF} community forums to the point of the activity being overwhelming and a big part of that (outside of constantly recruiting new members) is that we don't officially endorse/use Discord. We believe it detracts from forum activity (and we have past data from experimental attempts to back that up). Discord is faster and more modern, people will form groups with each other and just quickly share links/questions there rather than bring up a forum and start a topic, waiting longer for replies etc. So whatever Discord plans you have, It'd be a good idea to tread carefully (assuming the aim is to increase or maintain forum activity here).
We also try to share what we're up to every now and then here (especially custom created content). I made a topic earlier wanting to share some of our screenshots/videos as we have monthly picture and video contests but I don't know where to place any of that without the fear of it coming across as aggressive marketing. But I generally believe it would be of benefit to have new gameplay footage rolling in on the forums. It basically scratches an itch to get ingame when you see footage of others having fun.
Other than that, tutorials, competitions and just all things JK related is gold here. We link to JKHub in many cases inside of our pinned topics. Expanding all of that would be a good way to go.

This is also in discussion.

Still working on this, it's been delayed but I'm recording a mini documentary for my YouTube about my awesome experiences with the JKA community and to launch/release the updated maps!
Check back soon

I think a more prominent place for the community section would be nice, mainly the Art, Media, and Technology area. 😊 There are so many good pieces of art, short and feature length fan-films as of writing this today, and so much more. As someone relatively active in the art crowd, I'd love to see contests relating to that too if it isn't too unrealistic. While art isn't as useful as a skin, and the 'Our Picks' section is also appreciated for spotlights, I feel a more active place could be cool, to show that it's not all mods and more of a community--a hub. Excited to see what happens next, whenever it happens. 🤗

Decided to bash together a recent character from canon (also a new addition to my 'Favorites' lol). The Bad Batch spoilers! Credits are in the .rar
 
 

Holy shit, it's @Kouen!
JKFiles Uncut was legendary, this is gold! Thanks for sharing. I miss those JK3files days so much. Mod reviews were the greatest thing ever and I really wish JKHub had launched with that feature.
I'll always appreciate what you guys did back then, especially goofy stuff like this!

So, here's a funny story.
Yesterday, while sorting some old files, I came across a references to the filefront days.
This led me to google. Google led me to a thread about JKFiles' closure.
The thread led me to someone bringing up those god awful comics Inyri and I did.
Once I'd been reminded of those, I was forced to relive the cringe.
 
Now, I can't let that go unpunished.
So here I am dealing some karma.
Comics 20 through 26 are lost forever.
But the remaining 19 are truly awful enough for you all to suffer as I did.
 
Read 'em and weep, you sods!

After trying the application, please, leave a feedback of what you'd like see in the future. Yes, you can request any feature you want.
It's not necessarily to be only limited to chat, I could implement other game features. Probably everything is possible that doesn't require game assets.
Also if you encounter any error, then please report me either in the feedback form in TestFlight or in this JKHub post or in JKHub PM or on discord PM: ent#9404.
Report the error either by copying it or taking a screenshot and showing me or just telling the steps to reproduce.

Nobody is going to show interest in something unless they know what it is. Any mapper interested in working on a project is already working on one of their own, most likely.

Not sure if “so many” is accurate but we did get a handful of good things. I considered doing this but like I keep saying, participation is so low for these contests that it makes it hard to justify bothering with them. I also have no idea how much the community is watching the show. Most people here hate anything in the Disney canon.
I may consider it if people show enough interest.

It might be a teaser for the next update, but I'm still impressed. During the hyperspace sequence, I especially love how they incorporated the aesthetic of the new Star Wars films.

I don’t really think that’s the case. The forum has been losing activity slowly for years. I don’t think Discord is the cause of that, I think it’s just how the community has shrunk over the years. Sure people are still modding and you might see those conversations on Discord, more than here, but I think it’s more of a difference in quality of content. Getting instant help in a live chat is a valuable resource, but so is showcasing your content on a forum or writing a tutorial. I personally would rather see a thread with meaningful posts rather than a 80 page thread of posts that just say “cool!” or “lol” or other meaningless things like that. Though I have nostalgia for using forums that way, I prefer to use them to their strength in this day and age.
You make all good points though and it’s all something I’ve been considering. I’ll have to discuss it further with the staff and JKC admins soon and see what we can do. 🙂

The method I described works on the player model only. I was under the impression that is what fullkevlar was asking about.
If you've ever played Taspir Power Complex V3 and entered the control room, there are buttons that change the size of the players pressing them, so it does work, at least in MP.
Anything else, I have no idea.
