  1. "A respected waste disposal managers"

    Honestly, I never realized how funny that line was, especially with the delivery of it lol

  2. 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.

      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!

      JK2 on PS4 did dreams came true? xD

  3. IDK if this is just a bug in the latest OpenJK build or a glitch I discovered in JK3. You know how Hazardtroopers will "slap" you away when you get to close? If you fight one, save your game and reload it, they will not punch you anymore. Kind of annoying, removes a lot of the challenge.

  4. I still hope that, in the future, the Yuuzhan Vong and their war on the galaxy becomes canon again, or at least similar to what it once was in legends

      Unlikely, SW is overseen by people who aren't fans of SW so the story will continue to suck.

      Nah, leave Star Trek villains in Star Trek :P

  5. Finally learned how to convert a JK3 model to JK2! That was way harder than making my first kitbash. The guide was pretty confusing at points.

    1. Archangel35757

      Archangel35757

      clarify the guide then...

  6. So many wonderful models, not enough NPC files to assign them all. A dilemma to be sure

  7. 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. Langerd

      Langerd

      What is your problem exactly?

       

      What program you use? I can help with blender.

    2. 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

    3. Langerd

      Langerd

      You made characters in blender before?

       

      The idea is simple - You need to weight the character to the rockettrooper skeleton - bones to be more specific. Their names are different than basic _humanoid.gla

      Check in the modview how bones are called by opening rockettrooper. You can PM if you need more help!

  8. 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

      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

       

    3. Circa

      Circa

      dialogue or model sounds? If you want non-dialogue sounds you could check the other languages for unique sounds, since they have different voice actors.

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

  9. 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?

      From what i remember - Older engines purposely put limitations and errors that drop you from game because some things that happen on screen were too much for even computer to handle. It had good but also bad sides like having amazing PC - playing with dynamic glow for example will cause mostly everytime to drop FPS.

       

    3. Langerd

      Langerd

      It took the capabilities of engine itself rather the PC in some scenerios. Nowadays there is no such thing. Better computer means better graphics and smoother gameplay and more stuff on screen

    4. 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.

  10. I wish you could minimize JK2 sometimes

    1. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      There are many ways to do this since alt+tab doesn't work in Q3 games. A quick google search brings up some options.

      I remembered there being on one old JKFiles. Never tried it though! There're two others on Mr Wonko's site as well.

    3. Circa

      Circa

      or if you are just playing MP, just use JK2MV

  11. 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.

      I don't think Haps isn't credited too much. I always give him credit in my works and other modders surely too.

    3. 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.

    4. Tompa9

      Tompa9

      Ah! So then you are right :)

  12. Can anyone recommend any multiplayer games similar to Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy? I want to relive the magic...

    1. the_raven

      the_raven

      No idea. ESO?

    2. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      There really isn't anything like these games.

  13. How does the name "Medieval Tar" sound for a horror story/game?

      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"

    3. Wasa

      Wasa

      It sounds like some kind of cake

    4. the_raven

      the_raven

      Medieval Acid you say? That sounds wicked! As to your question, I remembered the Tar Monster from the original Scooby-Doo series. Good times, good times.

  14. To anyone who ever play Half Life 2, do you think the Combine Soldiers really look alien-influenced to you? I know they're all humans and that they've gone through internal augmentation, but their armor just doesn't scream "alien" to me at all. The only exception to this IMO is the elite helmet.

    1. TheWhitePhoenix

      TheWhitePhoenix

      Seeing the experiments taking place in Combine facilities makes my skin crawl still....

    2. the_raven

      the_raven

      I think their appearance (uniform) is supposed not to look alien, since they are interracting with humans and should inspire a kind of positive (yet intimidating) image, kinda makes the aliens' rule more bearable if it's familiar-looking

    3. the_raven

      the_raven

      The gas-masks are, based on the HL wiki, for human combine soldiers stationed off-Earth, where the atmosphere is different.

  15. So did Luke want both the Jedi and the Sith to end so one single greater ideology could rise or was Luke just being a brat?

      The way I understand it, they're following a different religion that is biased towards the Dark Side of the Force. It's like being Jewish or Muslim, they're both different very religions but worship the same monotheistic god.

    3. McGroose

      McGroose

      Ya, it definitely seems similar to that. That actually makes me enjoy the antagonists of the new trilogy a little more. I do hope that Kylo gets a new saber more fitting now and for some more history regarding Snoke.

      Rey should be using a staff in the next movie.

  16. Do you prefer Steam or GOG?

      Why not both?

    3. Onysfx

      Onysfx

      Most definitely GOG. Easy to take games with you on a USB.

    4. Wasa

      Wasa

      Both are fine, but I kind of like gog better since it's not Valve.

  17. The disruptor rifle, a weapon so devastating that it's outlawed nearly all over the galaxy. Perfect for the Jedi Academy to allow all students to use.

  18. I think the coolest thing about JK3 Modeling is that I've seen so many custom models for this game ported for mods in other games, especially models by NeoMarz1 and Hapslash

    1. TheWhitePhoenix

      TheWhitePhoenix

      Battlefront 2 (classic) is a clear example.

    2. Wasa

      Wasa

      I think the valve games are much better as an example

    3. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      Valve HAD JA beat in moddability UNTIL the source code for JA was released. JA is much easier to mod. The drag and drop PK3 system is hard to beat as far as modularity of the game.

  19. What'd be a better name for a horror story? "Medieval Tar" or "Medieval Acid"?

    1. Ramikad

      Ramikad

      "Medieval Tar" sounds somewhat darker to me, more fitting.

  20. I wouldn't mind getting into JKA's MP, but it just seems like there's so much more to adjust compared to JK2, what with all of the server mods and clientsides, maps and controls.

    1. Noodle

      Noodle

      It's much more populated though, so it seems like a good investment.

  21. Desann objectively has the coolest lightsaber design in any Jedi Knight game.

    1. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      As far as Sith designs in general yes. I did like Kyle's 3rd hilt (JK2) mostly because as far as function it seemed to be the best. It had grips and was long enough to be used with 2 hands. It seemed the most ergonomic.

    2. McGroose

      McGroose

      At first I disliked it because of it's rather skeletal build compared to other sabers, but I think it compliments Kyle rather well. The reasons you mentioned are also good. Wish we got more context behind the history of that saber.

  22. I really do hope Snoke has some connection to Plagueis. It would connect the new trilogy to the ominous reference Palpatine made to Skywalker about his former master. In other words, the circle would now be complete...!

    1. NumberWan

      NumberWan

      It would drastically minimize the significance of the OT events. Thus all that happened there wouldn't matter at all. So Snoke is most likely a very different person. I do believe, that he came to the Galaxy right after Episode VI and took over of what was left of the Empire, as this form of dictatorship served well his nature of a Force parasite.

  23. I wish Battlefront had Leia's New Hope outfit for some maps. Her Hoth outfit is really dull.

      While I assume we can all understand why that wasn't included (unfortunately) what excuse was there for no Tantive IV Leia?

      Maybe someone will do a mod for it :)

      Love ea bf mods so much :D

      In my game Luke is Kyle,Han is in his rotj outfit,leia wears a brown badass jacket, and she has ponytail hair, krennic is thrawn, lando has a new outfit too,soo its much better now :D

      Oh and boba is jango of course xd

  24. I really wish Battlefront had choosable hero skins, like Jango Fett for Boba, White Vader, different colors for aliens, etc.

      Huh, I thought that was just some weird re-skin. Well I liked the battle worn Vader a lot, y'know? Torso and cape torn from places, dusty and bloody.
