Do CRT monitors have any advantages in modern times?
eezstreet replied to Jango40's topic in Art, Media & Technology
throw that shit out the window -
Run it via launch settings, not by the mod menu. I can't recall what the Movieduels folder is called in Gamedata. I'm assuming it's called MD2 (based on what I remember). Replace MD2 with whatever the Movieduels II folder in Gamedata is called, if necessary. In Steam, go to Jedi Academy (SP). Right click on it in your library and select properties. On the General Tab (opened by default), go to "Set Launch Options...". Type the following: "set fs_game MD2" Launch the game via Steam. Should now boot up with a Movieduels II splash screen and animations should be fixed.

Sound Quality: High. Not high enough for you? Type this in the console: /s_khz 44 /snd_restart You now have noticeably higher quality sound.Thanks to @ for this.

Can't add new lightsaber colors to SP without a code mod, sorry. I think @Zlyden made a RGB saber mod for SP that was taken off of JK2Files.

Just an FYI - We are doing a semi-open beta test. All you have to do is look in the topic of our IRC/chat channel to get the link to a Public Test Realm (PTR) installer. http://client00.chat.mibbit.com/#jkgalaxies@irc.arloria.net

Don't see how. The launcher acts exactly like a batch file but whatever.

Texturized Kyle's robe for JKA and JKO

It's a bit jarring when you transition from the brown of his shoulderpad to the white of the shirt. Could make the shirt a bit more faded or make the shoulderpad match up a little bit better. -
Try GLDirect (google it). Might have to turn off Catalyst AI also. I know that Doom 3 gave me issues with sikkmod whenever catalyst AI was enabled.

how long have you been moding for.
eezstreet replied to brendhanbb's topic in General Modding Discussions
Started modding back in...2002? Started in JK2, making maps. I remember that I was 8 years old whenever I started. Never really got far in mapping. After starting up several TCs, all of which failed, I started a relatively modest code project. The beginnings were just me messing around in JK2, like a painted-on ironsights. This would have been back in 2008 whenever I started coding. So for 6 years, I was more or less a nobody in the modding scene. I still don't tell anybody my true alias from before this one, but I know that several people (particularly those involved around Filefront) in this community can guess. I believe when I started modding, I became too excited to contain myself. I kinda got too excited. Excited enough that I broke the fourth wall between modding and my life, and people that I know were super hyped up. I hyped up the crowd that wasn't right for me -- the Zelda fanboys, the Trekkies, the WoW nerds -- all of those people would eventually contribute to what I would call the lowest point in my life. This point was when I was more or less physically battered by the people around me at school. When we moved away from that place, that is when I found peace, I believe. Some people wouldn't agree with that. It was an eye of the storm in my life, really. I was sinking deeper and deeper into maddening depression, and messed my mind up something awful with Prozac and other drugs. I liked to play on the idea that my depression stemmed from a lack of females in my life, but really what I desired was...well...a true friend. I'm not going to go all brony on you or anything, but I had nobody in my life that I could talk to about what was really going on with me. That lead me into a dark depression, I think. And it felt like I received nothing for the efforts I have done. If anyone were to tell me that I'm doing better than I was 5 years ago, I'd have to force myself to agree with the people that said that. I'm not _better_. I'm _stronger_, not _better_. I hate myself in fact because I allowed myself to proliferate to where I am today. I guess where I've been causes me to become extremely angry with people who are depressed over miniscule things. Now some things I can empathize with. Other things..not so much. I can't empathize with myself for how I was before. If the things that we do define who we are, why is it that people say good things to me, after I've [indirectly] been the reason, cause, and/or motivation for the attempted suicide of three (one succeeded unfortunately, may his soul rest in peace), the vehement criticism upon my team members (past and present), the lies I've told, people I've spoken irately about, the bigotry, the hate, the demoralization of the masses, and general emotional grief I've caused people -- if the things that we do define who we are, why do I feel like I've gotten better, when I haven't? I don't know. After a few unfortunate events, I had to move away from there and spend my time gaining practical skills in a rural town of around 1,000 people. Practical skills and discipline did me well. I think the practical skills, the discipline, the constant isolation, the separation of my actual thoughts from what I said...I was more or less forced to live a double life. One on the internet, one in real life. I never told anyone about my exploits, the deep intricacies of my hobbies. Whenever someone texted me, asking me what I was doing, I would always tell them "nothing", or some other silly white lie. I did, for the record, meet someone who was really special to me. Like many of the things in my life which would remain mysterious, she vanished one day. I don't think I've recovered from it. Things changed a bit when I actually learned how to code and got into it. I still never told anyone anything. I liked to believe in many things. For instance, I liked to believe that people were actually honorable some of the time, and that people hardly ever committed the vices shown on television. That all became lies and fallacies when it actually turned out to be true. I didn't lose my beliefs in a few things though. For starters, that I could do things other people couldn't. I hated being different though. Steve Jobs, and their different ideas about how people should be different, that they should strive to be different..I couldn't believe any of those things. Jobs and Apple proved themselves to be hypocrites: they brought out the idea that people should be different, yet they stole ideas from people and created phones which became cardboard cutouts for later models. That's why I couldn't believe that people could be different and still succeed. Then you have the hipster crowd, and all the bizarre things that brings. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against being different, or being normal, or anything else. People should be how they want to be. It's just how I wanted to be that I didn't know about. In modding we make decisions based on things that we've seen each other do, based off of help. In a way, we help make people become just like us -- just as enthusiastic, just as technically involved, just as good as us. It's therefore rather perplexing that while I help people in the modding scene, I've become so fundamentally different from anyone or anything else that I don't know where I belong anymore. I'm too "goth" or "metal" for the nerds. Not vain enough for the popular crowd. Too nerdy for the metalheads. Too quiet for the stoners (yes, I was actually kicked out of a group for being too quiet -- more on this later). Too loud and obnoxious for the aspies. Too mellow for the radical free thinkers out there. I can't hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes with someone. I can't even talk to my girlfriend without the conversation devolving into us either saying "What's up?" back and forth for hours, or going into trust issues and other things. So after some thought, I think I've figured out what it is that I actually am. I'm a rockstar. Sounds like a great life to live, with the amenities of what I have, the knowledge, grades, all that. But deep inside me, I can't bear to deal with a lot that goes on. Ask anyone here who's talked to me for more than 5 minutes at a time. Ask my girlfriend. They'll tell you the same thing. I'm emotionally unstable. I can totally relate to people who have had issues before in their life. Maybe not in the same way as others. The scenes are different but the struggle's alike. Modding is the only thing that keeps me from going insane. I sometimes feel inadequate, but I have ideas. I have creativity. I learned from the depths of where I was that I have these things, that I can use these things. If someone as messed up outside and inside could have something useful, I know that people outside my bubble, such as you, @@brendhanbb, people like you, they have something useful in their lives. It's how you think about things that makes all the difference. I'm no David Gilmour though. I know that I don't produce a lot of amazing things that people talk about, like BlueIce Nightfall, or a beloved game model made to life, or an incredibly popular serverside mod. I get treated generally bad for the things that I've produced, now and in the past, and I can't say I don't deserve it on both a quality level and a moral level. I don't blame people either for what they say. Take things one day at a time, that's the only way you can live life. I do genuinely try my hardest though. I just wish that people could understand... -
What's your video card?

i just wanted to say i think so many of you are so talented.
eezstreet replied to brendhanbb's topic in Introductions
Keep on mapping, and I believe you will become as talented as some of the guys here. -
JKGalaxies can support up to 127 players. Same engine hook at the one used to go with 64 players can be simply modified to work with 127 players. (@: my guess is that id used a signed byte to store the number of players. Either way, 128 and above causes a crash. Could also be a buffer overrun too now that I think about it)

In the meantime, what I've done in the code is make it so that it automatically assigns weapons to the ACI when they're purchased. Takes one of the steps out of the equation, and I rather like this change atm. btw: Figured out a solution, and fixed the problem here. Many celebrations were to be had on the #JKGalaxies IRC channel et al

Actually, I prefer to see myself as a Joe Friday. Just the facts, ma'am.

I thought we were talking about marijuana. If it's one cigarette a week, all I can say is LOL

Going to have to claim BS on a number of things here. First, the art that you've shown in the backgrounds thread contains mostly copyrighted work that is merged together, and cannot really be sold (unless you have some other stuff). Second, I've never heard of a thing such as a professional artist "since 13". That kind of stuff is beyond rare, especially with "an IQ of 195" or whatever. Third, "I would not have a child on the way if I could not support it ALONE" <- what about your fiance? She's already making bank. Fourth, why are you concerned with your bank account going below $15k? Seems to me that you're in a rough patch and it's well reasoned. Fifth, why did you decide to move in with your parents if you were already doing fine? That doesn't make any sense at all to me. Why not just...continue working while living at the apartment and then get the house? Why was this extra step necessary? Just curious, not critical.

Yeah, now that I mention it, I do see a few details that don't line up..hm...

The Raven master server really sucks. I'd suggest setting one of your sv_master cvars to "master.jkhub.org", since that one is very good. You could also try opening up the port for the master server communications (33905) and making sure that your firewall isn't blocking communication with said port.

ACI doesn't just encompass weapons, there's items too, such as bactas and seekers that can be used with the ACI. The player's choice is not always going to be allowed in a lot of circumstances. For example, in the beginning of matches, where there's only a very small amount of credits allowed. Since things are randomized at the moment, you're not always going to be allowed your favorite weapons. If you have 10 favorites already picked out, you're going to be overwriting those favorites constantly. Gotta figure, there's ~85 weapons, not all of them are going to spawn in a shop with roughly 10 items or so. Also, I don't know about you, but I personally like to set up my weapons so that they're in a specific order. I usually put pistols (aside from the starter) at slot 1, a rifle or repeater at slot 2, a grenade at slot 3, and then more weapons as I find them. And I usually don't use the same guns every round, either because it doesn't suit my strategy for that map, or because of the order in which I find them. I can't speak for everyone, but I also hate having gaps in my ACI. But that's just me. From my personal experience with the gameplay, I would find a favorite weapon feature to be largely useless due to how the gameplay is designed. In fact it would be a little irritating to me, because I'd have to reassign the ACI slot for a weapon to remove the gaps (in my OCD mindset). But eh. That's just me though. I can't speak for everyone.
