  1. 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.

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

      Or JKA Enhanced. That works too. :D

  2. 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

      "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).

  3. Kyle's Running speed in Dark Forces is ridiculously fast. It's like he's got Force Speed already. XD

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

      And remember, you could also kill yourself by jumping upward. XD

      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!

  4. 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 :)

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

  6. Lot of good models today guys. Great work from both Cerez and Kualan!

  7. 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

  8. PC gaming advantage: better graphics. Disadvantage: may take hours figuring out how to get the game to fucking work properly.

      Although I love his work, I would love to see more original concepts.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

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

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. The Battlefront Shadowtrooper used to be rare & cool. Now half of all of the imperials I see are Shadowtroopers. :/

      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.

  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. 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/

  19. There's been a mod/patch for Republic Commando that's been on Moddb for a bit less than a month. It allows for High quality bump mapping (without your computer crashing) and adds new resolution options all the way up to 4K resolutions. Holy hell, I had no idea how good the game looked with these options.

  20. 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.

  21. 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?).

  22. Using the Wayback Machine to see old JK2 clan websites again after so many years later. Good times. :)

    1. Ping

      Yeah, good stuff.

  23. 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.

  24. When I ate thanksgiving dinner yesterday, I kept thinking "Meh... I could sure go for some Chinese food today"

  25. Which model here would be a good replacement for the imperial saboteur in JK3?

    1. Circa

      Circa

      I replaced them with the scout trooper model in a mod I made while ago.
