  1. Need more RAM

      my friend who is serious about his coding work has a crap laptop with ~64GB of RAM just cause he needs it lol

      You'd be surprised just how important large amounts of RAM can be for tasks one would think wouldn't be that demanding

  2. With Katana and VibroBlade, which cutting power is better?

    1. McGroose

      A vibroblade uses some type of emitter that amplifies the strike of the blade, IIRC.

      So I'm guessing the vibroblade, but a canon vibroblade is basically a knife, not a short sword like in KOTOR. 

      A Vibrosword would absolutely destroy a Katana.

  3. I'm so unexcited to go see star wars...

      You could argue that none of the newer movies needed to be made, but I am glad that Rogue one, and Solo to a lesser extent, were made. I really liked Rogue one, and I feel like one of the few people that got any substantial enjoyment out of Solo. I think they were both good movies. 

      What I absolutely hate the most about ROS more than the other two sequel movies that came before was how it essentially retconned so much from Return of the Jedi. That beautiful, perfect ending with Vader having his mask removed, him defeating the emperor, finally bringing balance to the force (killing all the jedi, then killing then the greatest Sith in history and therefore crumbling his empire  to ashes) was pointless. Sorry lol nah didn't matter gotta do second take

      At least it seems that damn near everything beyond the sequel trilogy Disney has given us so far with Star Wars has been pretty OK. The comics look good, I liked Rebels a good amount, and Mandalorian seems pretty good. Just that this new trilogy man.... wtf was going on here?

      The story is dogshit.

      But sometimes movies with crappy stories can be surprisingly enjoyable to watch. Give it a shot if you really have nothing better to do with your pocket change. This movie has a specific spot in my heart for my most hated star wars movie. IDK if it's the worst in terms of just quality (AOTC really isn't that good in my opinion, but I do see the appeal!), but the story just rapes everything Star Wars already established. I'm never considering this canon, nor the sequel trilogy canon in general. Rey is an awful character, Kylo is a poor knockoff of Ben Solo, all the other characters aren't give anywhere near the importance they deserve. All this to prop up a single, poorly written, annoying character that's more the equivalent of a demi-god playing life on handicap mode. Rey has to be one of the most garbage-tier characters in cinematic history. She's a Jr high nerd's fan character.

      These new movies need to be watched stoned off your mind to be enjoyable.

  5. Just bought the ps4 port of jk2, my 5th copy of my favorite game ever (got the original CD release, gamecube port, best of PC port, steam and now ps4. Looking forward to seeing how they did this port.

    1. McGroose

      All in all, port is pretty good. It is literally the PC version, menu and all, just missing some options. My biggest gripe is the FOV, it sucks. It's got 16:9 like the PC hack you can setup, which is great, but the FOV is still stuck at 75, so you can see so little of your model or character and it makes it annoying. Rolling is also assigned to the crouch button, I don't like that. Good overall tho, even has a cheat menu!

  6. I've blown another PSU. This one shot a white spark out the back of my tower. It was epic. Being my fourth PSU, any thoughts on what's causing it?

    1. McGroose

      A 650 meets well over the need for a 1060, I think the recommended is 450. I've seen 400 work with it though

      Circa, even I have to wonder how your build is possible. Isn't the minimum recommendation for a 1080 at least 550? It's not giving you any problems?

      I'm running a GTX 1660 with a 550W, and I think even that might not be the best for power requirements

      How in the world could a 500 watt not be sufficient for a 960?

      Are you using a cheap/poor quality brand?

  10. Is it possible to rig a model to the Rockettrooper skeleton with fully working animations and jetpack? I'm having a lot of difficulty with this.

    1. McGroose

      McGroose

      Yep I'm using blender.

      In trying to make the dark trooper phase 2 from the old dark forces mod build on jkhub onto the rocket trooper skeleton. Problem is that this skeleton is waaaaay to simplified and it barely resembles any other humanoid skeleton. I really dont know where too start

  11. Anyone know a source of decent female dark jedi/sith sounds I can use for personal modding use? Using the female jedi dialogue doesn't feel fitting at all lol

      OOOOOH you know, I didn't think about that, thanks!

      Dang, also should've specified it not being Alora. I'm using it for singleplayer, would be weird to hear unique character dialogue with every female sith

  13. So I've got a pretty beefy graphics card (GTX 1660) and a decent CPU (i5 7400) and good RAM. I can play a lot of modern games with good FPS but playing JKA on max settings sometimes causes the FPS to drop below 60, with and without Vsync enabled. I've got a lot of mods, some graphics mods like Ultimate Weapons but I've got the same mods for JK2 and I get a perfect framerate. Why is JKA weird?

    1. McGroose

      McGroose

      That's true for the most part, but there are still PC ports that clearly were not optimized compared to their console counterparts. It all really depends on optimization more than anything else.

      So are we getting basically what microsoft did with RARE's games and put them all on one disc? That would be cool with this. I never played Shadows of the empire

       

      I hope this comes to consoles. Playing Dark Forces on my PS4 would be awesome. Even if I can just get a better version on pc ha!

  14. Let us all bow down in respect to the man, the legend, that was HAPSLASH, he whose models were ported to dozens of other mods and games both with and without credit attributed.

    1. McGroose

      McGroose

      It's not his mods for JKA/JK2 that don't get credit.

      It's when his models are ported to other games for mods.

    1. McGroose

      Admittingly ya cause I heard varying opinions on it, but last time I think I asked if people preferred the name "Medieval Acid" vs "Medieval Tar"

      Lmao episode 11

       

      Don't be surprised if we get that in the year 2022 with how much Disney loves to milk the Star Wars cash cow.

      And Now I'm expecting a VR pod racing game along with it.

  19. Wow, creative Star Wars modding never died so fast as since Disney took over Star Wars... :'(

    1. McGroose

      No, I'd say the death of big modding communities like JK3files or Kotorfiles or the death of other smaller sites took its toll.
