RancorSNP

This is NOT a Teaser, this is NOT a project it will NEVER be done. This is just my thoughts, very old thoughts, on making this game more interesting, nice, good looking etc. Well, I think I'll start with the gameplay :, generally I really do like its vanilla gameplay but it could use some improvements. 1) For example I think that weapon shooting is a little bit boring, adding more dispersion to the guns, not just some random values but depending on player state, should do just fine. For eg. if playerstate == walk angs[YAW] += (WEAPON_SPREAD + 0.5f );angs[PITCH] += blah blahelseif playerstate == run Of course this code is entirely wrong, but I guess it shows what I have in thought. 2) I do not have any objections to to saber fighting system, but maybe fixing some of the special features like ground stab or saber locking, would make them actually worthwhile and they won't be a mere annoyance when enabled (well only one of them can be disabled) Also fixing force requiring moves like pull stab, slashing would be good in siege mode (any in siege mode only) 3) Fixing votes so hackers can't access server files and than finishing the development of team votes which were supposed to be implemented. 4) Fixing in game award system, 5) Making animals work in multiplayer (yay, that's a part of my old JAE project. Well I plan on fixing howler with my friend, when I will finally learn C language). Adding them full AI support for their animations (like rancor's attack against high targets, which would finally make rancor any threat) 6) General fixing, adding features and fixmes, that are in code and they seem possible , have sense. For eg. there is a comment that shows that unlimited staff chain is only temporary, but changing this, and thinking of new chain limit, would just discourage players to use it, On the other hand lots of other changes mentioned in code, would be a nice addition to our game. This of course would require a skilled crew, eezstreet maybe? Don't really remember that much coders. Graphics and immersion : 1) When it comes to the graphics, shadows need a little bit fixing, don't know if its possible though. cg_shadows 2 looks really nice, but they are often created on player in very unnatural way, that makes it look extra weird cg_shadows 3 on the other hand , are way to dark, and act like static, shadow can just flow in air. 2) Retexturing the game... Not really. While new textures are sufficient for player models, I use JulioC's characters (except of jawas), just textures don't really cut it when it comes to general look. Using Graphics overhaul, and Better graphics combined, can give you great textures and amazing look, but its still squarish and there is a contrast between quality of textures and 3) models. Yeah, what this game needs is a general reworking of models for objects and litter, bottles, cards, chairs , that kind of stuff.They'd have to be a high quality like Szico's or Inyri's. Right use of glass effects , and shine, reflections is crucial. 4) General map improvement, maybe adding some new maps, to each gametype. At least one per type. 5) Using better sound really makes you feel a lot nicer. I have made one mod, Rancor's Sound overhaul I think , for sure it starts with Rancor's and have sounds in name, it really makes you feel way better playing the game, also changing sounds text file to make some of them audible in wider spread worked just fine. Hearing waterfall before you see it is good. This mod is NOT download able, as I have used sounds from Oblivion, Left 4 Dead, and some from internet, WITHOUT permission of original owners, therefore I have no right to upload it anywhere.It's just for my use, sorry. That's all I can remember for now, but I sure have more ideas how to improve the game, which I will post somewhere here. Doing something that big would require a lot f skilled modders, (which are actually reading it), and I repeat, I have NO intention of making such a thing. It's just an idea box for you guys. Well I'll probably post some more soon. Cheers. (Oh well, you can sure share your own ideas, or to (dis)agree with mine. Don't feel bad about it, its a forum afteral)

Hi, well most of you probably already know me so I don't need to introduce that much. What you may know, or may not know is that I spent a lot of my time reviewing maps in the past, and some may have realized, that I'm back to it : reviewing every new map I see uploaded on this site. Generally I would like to ask you to rise amount of stars, 1-5 scale is much inaccurate. In my reviews I always use 1-10 scale (with halves sometimes). So if you would add 5 more stars, or a possibility to add half a star, it would be great. Why does is matter? Well if I have to give my rating to the map, average but good map, get the same amount of stars as almost perfect one, pretty dull isn't it? The second improvement is more like an idea, it may be good idea to add option, do uploader agrees to have his file reviewed. This way I will sadly have less maps to check out, but won't write lenghy to do lists for someone who doesn't care about what I think should be improved or isn't really good enough. So yeah that's it. Cheers, have a happy new year.

Offtop continues : Looks like I'm not the only one who read his nick wrong. I don't really remember, but before I review his file, I have thought its something like miningguy.

Yeah thats right! Tell'em Inyri! You guys wanna fight?! Jk. But its true people here are being too hostile sometimes. I was kinda dissapointed to JKG but not because of its aspects. It was because player assistance. I joined serwer after the first release. But all my questions were ignored by staff member, if he had answered, I wold realise its not installed properly, and I wold probably play it.

Hi there guys! I have just finished another command list, this one does NOT contain cvars, but there is still a lot to read. There ARE explanations Please inform me about any mistakes I have made. Every new article on my site will be in English, and I;m going to translate the old ones, so stay tuned There you go guys : http://jediacademy.c...s.php?cat_id=15 (The site is being incredibly slow since I tried to make achievement system, sorry dudes)

There actually is a command for toggling huds, you can find it in articles on my site www.jediacademy.cba.pl artykuły - komendy -> lista komend jk3. Writing from phone so can't link directly. The only problem is to figure out how to name your hud so ingame cmd finds it. Search for something like nexthud

I can't make radiant work on my pc (win 7) so I cant edit bsp files, as far as I know at least. Spawn entity command has incredible potential, and with additon of little scrypting you can do just any scenario come true. Npc spawn id name would get useless too, cos there are a lot of entity npc's spawning them. Using spawn ent, allows you to program unique behavior for every one of them.

No that's not what I mean. Probably "adding" in the main title deceived you. I want to use already existing flags like "STARTOFF OPEN NO_KNOCKBACK ONE_SHOT NO_IMPACT" etc using ingame spawn command.

Hi, lets just treat this as a modding question. I spend ages playing with JKA, JKA mods , JKA coding (this is actually fun to read even if you don't know C language) but some things i have never figured out ad they always bugged me. This was to be my best achievement ever, but I just can't make this out! Its forth, maybe fiftht time when I try and try and I fail. Does any of you know how to add spawn flags in game? (Don't know what I mean? Here's an explanation) But how to add flags, of specified options using spawn command? I tried many many way but I always get no such spawn function or just default set entity. PLEASE HELP!

Sorry, could you please repeat when was KoTp formed?

Yeah I agree. Reviews should be made by staff only. And normal people have comments. But every file MUST be reviewed for that to work.

T-This... THIS IS BIZZARE! I don't know what is going on. I tried to apply it to my guardian sab (three files 0 1 2) as first sab i found. Then it crashed my JKA with trailStyle. But I changed saber names and it worked. Well JKA at leas, cos trailStyle didn't. But then I noticed it ignores all my new anims (yes they actually work) deleted trailStyle line form ONE of the sabers. It crashed my JKA again -,- . ITs sleep time, but I;m going to think of something tomorrow. I was sure I used this before and it worked... In Realistic tusken staff if I remember right. So please wait till tomorrow I will came up with something.

Am I the only one who thinks this actually Marshal Law? (He might not look like it in newer tekkens, but the newest I have ever plaid was Tag Tournament, and He looked pretty much same to meh)

Is that really necessary? EVERY Moder / maper / skiner / modelist etc. (well at least most of them) ALWAYS write in read me file how to install his mod, no matter how simple it is. I don't imagine searching for that on youtube. I know that many people don't read read me files, but well that's their fault it that case.

I think I might write a review or two, but well, I can't ensure that all my reviews will encourage moders . Been testing mods back in... hmm 2005 I think. Don't remember exactly, and I made few myself (and not finished over a dozen) so I'm pretty demanding when it comes to mods, and can rate both game play and technical side .

minilogoguy would you allow me to use your broken saber models in my RP Sabers mod? (Funny thing is I was just about to ask if someone can make such models ^^) Since I'm using standard hilt models it'll be able to expand single player a little (optional file editing few NPC's)
