  1. Anyone else get some MBII vibes from that Battlefront II Theed gameplay?

      I got original BF2 vibes, which was great. :D

      Well people was very angry on the crossed era stuff.. emm .. It is cool in my opinion - Imagine Lord Vader with Kylo Ren on his side fighting Jar Jar Binks and Obi Wan spamming "Hello There"

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

  2. Someone on Battlefront hacked (I think) my PS4 tag for doing nothing but beating him in the game. What a obnoxious little fuck of a manchild. He even has a history of doing this. I feel like Battlefront is my new JK2 already. New memories being made. :D

      Jk2's MP was my favorite thing to play when I was younger.

  3. I can now say I own every single Jedi Knight/Dark Forces game. Yay

  5. 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.

    3. Kualan

      Kualan

      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.

    4. Smoo

      Smoo

      agreed Kualan

  6. Someone could totally make a Krennic model using Hapslash's imperial model. Both his Imperial and Dooku models share the same base model, so the cape shouldn't be a problem.

      Really? I'll look into it. I don't keep too updated with the JK games or the forum much anymore.

      Damn! I had no idea this existed. This pack is incredible. Thank you for the link.

  7. First time I saw the new Obi Wan vs Maul fight, I thought it was garbage. 2nd time, I understood the references and symbolism behind it, and thought it was mediocre. It was a good attempt at something different, but you don't hype someone up for shit like that.

    1. McGroose

      Now I just find the whole thing comical.

      That's a wild animal, people tend to forget that, any wrong move can upset the animal and shit can go bad real fast.

  9. I'm still surprised that Greedo got a spot in Battlefront. I would have preferred IG-88. I always thought he was just cannon fodder.

    1. Barricade24

      Barricade24

      Battlefront really brought a lot of appreciation to the lesser characters like Nein Nunb and Dengar.

  10. "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.

    4. Cerez

      Cerez

      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.

  11. I took the advice you guys gave me and made a topic about upgrading my PC. Thanks, everyone!

  12. 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 don't think there is a thread currently going but you could always make one in the art, media and technology forum.

      Or in General Tech Support

  13. 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.

  14. 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

      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.

  15. 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.

  16. Kualan, you're timing to release your Asajj Ventress models couldn't have been better. I was just debating what I would change the butt-ass ugly Ventress models in Escape From Yavin IV with. This is absolutely perfect. :D

    1. Circa

      "butt-ass ugly" xD

      I'll probably use your Bossk model to, since that's who the Trandoshan leader in that game apparently is (lol wtf).

  17. Just finished Escape From Yavin IV (Lost Maps). Besides the fact that the mod must have crashes on me at around 10 points in the game, it was fun, albeit a bit repetitive. There's one problem, though (besides the crashing, duh). One really important texture is flawed or missing. The dirt texture that pops up in the air whenever you walk on a dirty surface. Instead of the small grains of dirt, I see black+white squares everywhere I walk. Anyone know what this texture is called in the assets?

      Could be mods in your base interfering with it to cause those issues. Mods like that are meant to be played pure, usually.

    3. McGroose

      Nonsense, Circa! I'm going to destroy this mod with the aid of OpenJK. >:P

    4. TheWhitePhoenix

      TheWhitePhoenix

      Or JKA Enhanced. That works too. :D

  18. 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?).

  19. The results of the vote would have brought more negatives than benefits no matter what it would be. The UK was in a shitty state from the beginning, it seems. I honestly don't know what was the better position to vote for. Eitherway, It's obvious that the initial results of leaving the EU would be far worse than staying. In the long run, I don't know.

    1. Daedra

      Daedra

      Well take a look around you right now. Is there any "apocalypse" happening that the remain side predicted? I don't see any riots or fires anywhere, only in France where they are still under EU laws.

    2. Daedra

      Daedra

      Do you enjoy Tea and Toast? Good. If you had remained, the EU would ban Kettles and Toasters. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/10/eu-to-launch-kettle-and-toaster-crackdown-after-brexit-vote2/

  20. I'm convinced Rogue One was based on Dark Forces. There are so many similarities... Maybe they just realized that making Dark Forces cannon would make the rest of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games cannon by default and heavily modified the original idea. Maybe, Maybe not. Eitherway, I'm sure it'll be a good movie. :)

  21. Would it make sense for Grand Moff Tarkin to be in Battlefront as a DLC? Can he fight at his old age during ANH? Could he even fight well at all?

      "Obi-Wan". That's because he is the force-user.

      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.

       

      Either that or one of the other villains from the upcoming movie...depends, when is the Death Star DLC supposed to drop?

      force jump was risky too, as it actually had fall damage unlike lvl 3/lvl 2 jump in ja and jo

      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!

      You should have been around way back in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's Multiplayer on PS3. It was great, but it was hell trying to get to max level. But you were a boss when you reached it.

  25. Literally everyone at this point has been questioned if they became/are Snoke.
