  1. "You fool, I've been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku!" No shit? That line from ROTS really annoys me now. The script was clearly not made with the Clone Wars show in mind. Obi Wan fought Grievous a dozen some times in it. :/

      I agree with Mini that the 2003 version ties in much better with the prequels, and, as I said, I don't believe that the 2008 series is really meant to tie in with the prequel films -- it pushes things to a whole new level of storytelling that the prequel films never ascend to. Watching the best of TCW (2008) and then the prequel films IMHO is like reading Herbert's Dune, and then watching the latest Star Trek, hoping that it will add something to it.

      The prequel films had a lot of Star Wars world ideas crammed into them -- that's what they were brilliant at. Without the work done for the prequels, there would be no base for TCW.

  2. New Battlefront 2 trailer is out and there's only 4 seconds of prequel content shown and plenty of what we've already seen in the first game. Looking forward to the $50 season pass for half of the game again.

      It wasn't a thing, that's what I'm implying. It's ridiculous that people pay for skins and other cosmetic things in videogames and don't realize they're being ripped off.

      Let me clarify - I don't agree with it, but I consider giving people the choice to pay extra for purely cosmetic things to be a lot different (and more tolerable) than a pay2win scenario where people are forced to use microtransactions to actually stay competitive in a game.

  3. Hardware noob here: If I wanted to disable integrated graphics and add an additional GPU, would the only thing I need be the proper bios and a power supply that could handle it, or do I need something else?

      I remember JK and MotS having ridiculously fast running. Heck I think JO and JA are too fast. I use g_speed 200 to slow down a bit. 250 is default.

      Then I bound 500 to a key so I could have JK speed running to get across long maps!

      Every single game Nintendo showed looked like garbage except for maybe Star Fox, which looked exactly like Star Fox 64 in gameplay and in graphics. And where the hell was Zelda Wii U?

  7. Trying Escape From Yavin IV using OpenJK. It's fun, but I'll have to replace the models and skins eventually. Some of the Lightsabers are blegh, a couple models are showing their age really badly (especially Maul) and the voice acting can be hilariously bad at times

      Lost Levels is better than the original one and it has three endings.

    3. Onysfx

      Onysfx

      The old Factory level is bugged (or at least it was for me), where rosh does not appear later in the level and open up a crucial door to progress. Another one of the levels I was unable to progress on, perhaps I did something wrong, but I looked everywhere for a switch and couldn't find it (it was an outdoor desert valley water level). Other than that, I would certainly agree that the lost levels is far better and has much more content.

    4. McGroose

      McGroose

      I know the level you're talking about. I'm not there yet, but I THINK I remember beating that level the intended way. It was confusing, though. I remember the level ended by killing Spawn (lol wut?).

  8. I still think Harambe was the best meme ever created. But alas, all good things must soon come to an end... just like Harambe himself. D:

      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.

      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.

      Ah! So then you are right :)

  12. How can you make an NPC with an E-11 rifle shoot in rapid bursts instead of single shots? I've seen some NPCs do that, so is it possible to modify any NPC of my choosing to do so?

      You can do it with scripts. Download my project in JO SP Maps, and i have all my scripts in there.

       

      Just copy the alt-fire ones and try it out.

    3. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      Pretty sure it has to do with the NPC class and how aggressive they are. Look at the stcommander.npc and impcommander.npc as they both do this.

    4. Dusty

      Dusty

      In the new version of Dusty's Patch you can use the npc field to force alt-fire. In JK2 class_imperial and class_rodian always use alt-fire with the e-11 if I remember right.

      If the rumours of a Tarkin appearance in Rogue One are true I wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up as a Death Star villain in Battlefront.

      It looks good, but I have a feeling the gameplay won't hold up as well as MBII's has.

  19. anyone find it weird how JKA and Kotor, games that only had a two month difference in their release dates, both have their own versions of Korriban? They're so different; JKA's is so much more fleshed out, but the tombs in Kotor's have a much better atmosphere. I wonder if Raven and Bioware ever talked about this. :/

      lang_french

      I found the tomb in JKA really weird, too much. Maybe they wanted to make like the Egyptian pyramids. But The Kotor version is far better about the atmosphere. And 4000 years later, the map could be different (visit other tombs to find the right one, for instance), and if there were ancient Sith spirits who fight Jedi and Cultists, it would be perfect imo.

    3. Ramikad

      Ramikad

      I'd rather see some of the local wildlife instead than Force Ghosts or Sith undead. Architecture changes in 4000 years, but monuments and natural wildlife typically not, especially if they're abandoned as they seem to be in JA.

    4. minilogoguy18

      minilogoguy18

      KotOR version is way better. That red tint to everything makes it so much better.

  20. The Assassin Droids in JKA's Coruscant level were too weak. Gave them missile launchers and tripped their health.

      But they stand no chance against the demp2 my friend. In Dusty's Patch they can fire with their shields still up because I honestly thought that was really dumb.

      Too weak? I've always had trouble against them.

    4. McGroose

      Demp2 slaughters them. Thankfully, it seems that giving them rockets and changing their stats causes them to move more. In the boss fight, all 4 droids were moving all over the place shooting rockets. Was both fun and somewhat challenging.

      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.

      The Phantom Menace will cure you ! the staff of Darth Maul is the coolest saber ever (even you don't like the rest of the movie). I think that Kylo's saber can not beat Maul's staff when it's about to be cool.

  24. 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.
