Randomness does indeed exist within the commands: through IF and ELSE commands. For this you'll most likely need 3 tasks (each task = with a command to change behaviour "set"), like Task1, Task2, Task3. And then the lines such as these ones: In this case the game would Run one of the three tasks randomly. You'll have to experiments with numbers (instead of 0.340, 0.510) in order to achieve the result you want.

I've never heard of anything like that, however there could be minor restrictions with a few characters (there is an older Droid model on Ord Mantell, which can't be cut into pieces per se). Most NPCs are original or newer ones, but with no dismemberment restrictions. DP uses OpenJK as a base for a smooth run.

Scripts are one of the most important things in modding. Aside from basic things they allow to add (objectives, cinematics, etc.) they help you with creating a more vivid environment, like adding speeders at the distance or making peculiar platforms or puzzles. Sometimes scripts allow you to cheat the game engine and make more characters, than NPC limits would allow (at least visually). In any case studying scripts and Behaved is a good thing to do after learning the basics of mapping.

Well, competition is always good. Now, that EA aren't the monopolists, the games might actually look at least slightly different and be as good as during the golden era (which I consider to be somewhere between Dark Forces release and Revenge of the Sith). EA might have experience with Bioware, but Ubisoft made open world of different style, like Chicago in Watch Dogs and Ancient Egypt in AC: Origins. Personally it was GTA San Andreas that made me think – why Lucasarts wouldn't want to release something as massive as that game at the time. And I don't count SW Galaxies and SWTOR. I feel excited for the new Indiana Jones game even more than for Star Wars: this one would be made by the guys, who created the latest Wolfenstein games. And this might be a cool challenge.

Moving one of several brushes of a func entity and pressing CTRL+Z afterwards also allows selecting an entire func_**** entity.

I've encountered this issue as well and only with OpenJK installed. The thing is that original JA and OpenJK sometimes use different folders for Saved Games and some other files. Thus it's possible to use both saves and different maps. This explanation isn't very accurate, but it might help you understand what might be the problem. In order to avoid this (and for dozens of other reasons) it's best to make test versions of your map before compiling the final one. I test certain scenes and scripts on test01, test02, etc. while the versions of the map itself include smth like dg_city_v1.map (dg_city_v1.bsp), dg_city_v2.map (dg_city_v2.bsp), etc. Making backup maps is also a good thing to do.

Almost any shader with a transparency can be used here. Several original textures from JA use the Hologram effect, such as this one on Coruscant: textures/rooftop/screen1 { q3map_nolightmap { map textures/rooftop/screen1 blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO depthWrite } { map textures/rooftop/screen1_txt blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE depthWrite rgbGen identity } } Just change the names to fit in with your own folder and texture. There are even more simple shaders for a similar effect.

An intersting thing, I've never tried it. Even though I would always follow most of the rules, like making portals, adding misc_model_breakables, using detail brushes instead of structure ones where possible, dividing the map into separate areas, etc. As I understand – you suggest adding Caulk brushes outside your visible/playable area and thus fill in the voids outside your map in order to make the whole space (used in Radiant) to look like a cube.

It would be nice to see Mandalore in the next season: unlike other planets currently shown in the show, it's not something to be easily made with some dull rocks, palms and sand. That requires good backgrounds and CGI of an entire city with large buildings.

The last episode more than enjoyable, yet the announcement after the ending is troubling. And according to the rumours – that one is the only new project to be released in the next few years. I guess this episode and Mandalorian as a whole was a test of skill and resources, so I hope any new series would be much better. However, before 2022 many of the announced titles will be shut down most likely. Not waiting for Mandalorian Season 3, but rather eager to see Cassian Andor show as well as a few others (Willow too).

'The Rescue' is one of the 2,5 episodes in the whole Mandalorian series, which I actually enjoyed (the other two being Chapter 6: The Prisoner and «Chapter 13: The Jedi»). This time they paid much attention to the details and put much effort in the story and characters. Aside from lack of interesting planets, Mandalorian was full of Deus Ex Machina. The last episode seems to work without it though.

Fixed. There was this picture of the Jedi Enclave from SWTOR. And I must add, that there were also some ancient ruins in that game.They could have used it as an inspiration.

Dantooine is a pack of maps and well, it's finished ? It's part of Chapter 2, but currently the maps before Dantooine aren't complete yet. Due to pandemia and a huge amount of the main work, we had to make a pause with the modding. In plans: returning to the work right after December 25th.

My major concern with the show is that most locations are quite similar and dull: desert, forests, swamps, snowy areas. Why don't they make some peculiar red-coloured villages with whitened palms? Or crystal planets with flying slugs? Or blue coloured tropical canyons with exploding hedgehogs with beaks? Why nothing like Felucia or Saleucami? These two looked pretty much unusual and would have been a nice addition for a change in the scenes. The authors try to pay much attention to the costumes and characters, but forget about details and atmosphere in the background. They could have made Tython so much more interesting. The Old Republic definitely put more effort into the look of this planet:

I feel somehow, that Slave I might end in the hands of Din in the future. Not this season, but in the end perhaps.

Hi, he is part of the story, so he'll appear in later chapters. ?

This never happened before. The game makes one datapad available at a time, so it can be any of the five datapads, scattered around the cantina. It's possible to use one only once. After that a hint would suggest, what you could do to progress further. If you've already read a datapad, then you'll be able to spot an R2 unit, which would move down the street. It's possible to follow him and use the first choice. If you found the patriotic 'entry' in the secret level, then it's possible to use the Jbox. I doubt, OpenJK can cause such an issue. Widescreen shouldn't be a problem, and if you played Ord Mantell, then you could find another datapad in a secret area there as well.

If you've found the patriotic 'song' and checked on the Bouncer in the club – presumably if you've looked through each corner and datapads in the cantina – there is a way to the JBox now or the R2 unit instead.

In order to use a different way – with the Jbox – you must find the 'music' datapad. However it's not in the cantina, but in a secret area, which can be found in the same district.

Hi, the JBox can't be used just of 'nowhere'. Before using it, one more step must be made in the very same sector of the city.

PK3 must have a correct structure inside. So it'll be like PK3 (inside: models/weapons2/lightsaber_your_name). If your hilt uses a shader, it should also be put inside the very same PK3 ((inside: shaders/your_shader.shader). The saber parameters are stored inside a your_saber.sab file, which is usually in ext_data/sabers. And it also goes inside your PK3 pack.

Good! Have a nice play! ?

There've been several periods of rise and decline. I would say, that currently the JK community is mostly calm, but not without enthusiasm. ? Just like in the 2000s era there is the FILES section, and just like in those years people continue to communicate here via good old Forums instead of sticking to the Social Media. We also have a Wiki about JK series and the modding aspects of it. One of the most notable changes is a number of authors, I would say, who continue to bring joy with lots of new models from almost every Star Wars story, which exists today. And yes, the JK source files were 'released' several years ago, which sparked quite an interest of coders to the JA engine capabilities and beyond.

There was time, when I learnt mapping with WorldCraft editor (this one was Half-Life video game, but I created 1 small map for JO as well), after which I switched to Gtk Radiant, which was far better in hundreds of terms. Currently I'm trying to get used to NetRadiant, which seems to be gaining popularity among fans more and more. Original Dark Forces, Dark Forces II and MOTS had other editors. I can't name them, but there were several mods, some quite peculiar. There was even an Episode I mod for Dark Forces II MOTS, where you can play Obi Wan and slash Battle Droids on Naboo.

Even if you fix the path to the main JA folder, you'll also have to check one more position: like C:\Users\Documents\My Games\OpenJK\DP_Chapter1
