  1. >Holiday contests (Halloween / Christmas / St. Patrick's Day / April Fool's Day / New Years / etc... just not Thanks Giving. 😄)
    >Super fancy forum badges for contest victories

    It's the simple things. Contests for JKH haven't been consistent but I think there'd be more participation if there was a reliable expectation of them.

    Also yea, revamping the wiki would be great. But I've been saying that since like 2016 😅 never seen a good solution to it come up though. Its the kind of thing everyone complains about because it sucks but no one bothers to suggest a better alternative. And I'll be the first to admit, I have not thought up any alternatives.

  2. Not trying to heckle here, but could you elaborate on what brings you to develop this? On one hand, its kind of neat. On the other, it seems severely outdated with the existence of Discord and more standardized utilities for accessing the server remotely. 

    Additional question: By the looks of it, I'm guessing you'd essentially have to send a bot to a server and the bot speaks on behalf of the user, right? Won't that artificially bloat the player count? Also, how would this work on, say, a duel server where players are not able to simply spectate?

    Like I said though, looks neat! When admin command stuff comes out, I still expect most clans to take an interest. 

  3. Yes, absolutely. JKHub has a server list you can look at here: https://jkhubservers.appspot.com/

    Game is still quite active with many servers and many communities. If you'd like any help navigating feel free to PM me and I'll give you some more personalized assistance ?

    I highly recommend downloading EternalJK since all servers will show up for you even when Raven's master server list is offline. https://github.com/eternalcodes/EternalJK/releases

    However, if you see a server you want to go to, it's as easy as opening the console (Shift and ~) and typing /connect IP:Port (It'll look something like 0.0.0.0:00000 with actual numbers, of course).

  4. You know what REALLY bugs me? All I want is just one open-world single player starwars game. Is there even one? I've only ever seen level-design games for star wars. Think about it:
    -Battlefront
    -KOTOR
    -Jedi Knight
    -Force Unleashed
    -Rogue Squadron
    -Whatever that SW RTS game was
    -Republic Commando

    ...It's like the concept of "open world" doesn't exist for Star Wars and I have no idea why. It's a sad thing to think that the closest we have to an open world is a crappy mmorpg (SWTOR) and, in an amusing sort of way, Jedi Knight. Yes, I know, JK is also a level-design, but it's one of the few games with legitimate freedom of movement. Kotor tries but it feels so restrictive while only giving the appearance of free open-worlding (I mean, you can't even jump, and you're pretty bottle-necked ultimately).

    Honestly, the climbing mechanics are cool. The combat is meh, but I don't expect much from EA. But, if they made it open world? If they gave us some like Assassin's Creed, even to a lesser degree, I'd be happy. Give me a Force Unleashed clone with an open world and let me GTA my way around with force powers and that'd be sick.

  5. (I'm running a little behind on forum reading so excuse my 13-day behindness and necrotic powers on this topic :P)

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but we have evidence, at least since the first movie, of JKA activity increasing as a result of the movie releases. I can't say for sure for the others, as I haven't seen any statistic data, but we actually have a post here on the Hub back from the Episode 7 release when Caelum went crazy with statistics.

    https://jkhub.org/page/index.html/_/sitenews/happy-new-year-r135

    I would love to see an updated version of this actually for recent years, because I get the feeling the trend has continued to a lesser degree even from the most recent movie releases. Thing is, whether or not people like the SW content being released, it reminds them of the nostalgic old content (and it also causes SW activity to be more prominent--such as in the form of steam sales--which raises awareness for the game). Just as well, not to parrot others, but JKC has taken a LOT of the activity since Discord is just a more modern, better platform for communicating than forums. We still receive relatively regular mod submissions here, and there are plenty in-development which is pretty surprising honestly. Which reminds me, I may have to go check on the growing quantity of submissions in our queue right now that I've been neglecting duty on, heh.  :D 

    tl;dr: circa is about right

    (Yes, the circa/about pun was intended. I know it's bad, leave me alone, it's 1:00am for me)

  6. There are a lot of weird Q3 fps settings. Your jumping will always be impacted directly by your fps, but if you want similar results to 125, 250 might work (there isn't actually an allowed 240 cap. Below is a layout of available fps locks). A lot of competitive players who focus on combat use 142/166 for lower jumps, though pretty much all competitive strafers use 125 as the standard for jumping. Most values have differing effects. 333 makes your jumps floaty and weightless, for example. 200 is pretty common as well for increased frame rate while still retaining jumps similar to 125, if I recall. it has been a while. 

    Simply put: Framerate is a personal preference not for game performance and optimization in JK, but rather, for gameplay optimization. You'd want to pick the one that best performs the task for you. Typically 125 is standard, but you've got a lot of options.
     

     

    com_maxFPS

     
    This is the maximum client framerate permitted. The only valid values are those which are equal to (1000/x) where x is an integer, as Q3 measures frametimes using millisecond integers. So for example your 125fps comes from (1000/8 = 125). 
     
    If you try and set maxFPS to an invalid value, you will get the next higher value.
     
    1000/3 = ~333
    1000/4 = 250
    1000/5 = 200
    1000/6 = ~166
    1000/7 = ~142
    1000/8 = 125
    1000/9 = ~111
    1000/10 = 100
    1000/11 = ~90
    1000/12 = ~83
    1000/13 = ~76
    1000/14 = ~71
    1000/15 = ~66
    1000/16 = ~62
    1000/17 = ~58
    1000/18 = ~55

    (Pretty sure you can do a framerate of 666 as well so.. not sure if this is entirely accurate, I'd need to run an in-game check to be sure, but I may be wrong. In any case, framerates that exceed 333 pretty much just break things anyway, so it's not advised)

  7. Okay so, first of all, if we're talking singleplayer, just spam and win. 

    The real question is, do you want info on JA+ dual sabers or base dual sabers? Very big difference between them. JA+ duals are very strong, in base not as much. I can't help with anything JA+ related though, that's St@rty's domain.

    For base though, if you want to avoid block spam, you might consider first learning how delays work ( which this can help with ) since that is one of the best ways to break that. There's a lot more to it than delay spam, but good starting point. Truly the best way to abuse dual sabers is to just out-time your opponent though. Can abuse the range pretty hard, especially against a staff.


    (Also I wouldn't advise the blue lunge personally. Or any katas. Ever.)

  8. On a JKH moderation note: Links removed--please do not cross-advertise here, JoF has it's own thread for that which they bump on a regular basis.

    Yes, JKC is still alive. I no longer own or manage it, though to my understanding, the ban I placed on JoF's advertising on the JKC is still being upheld by it's current admins so it's probably not a good idea to go there if advertising JoF is the only reason. If you're looking for the entire rest of the JKCommunity and want help with modding/ to organize matches/chat in a very laid-back environment/interact with other clans/use rosh's face as an emoji, then I'm sure they'll be happy to see you drop by though. JKC has a little of everything, all in one place, and is a great location to chill with the rest of your fellow jedis :D 

    Link has been updated, thank you for pointing out it was out of date! I'm sure a fair few people have tried clicking it to their disappointment by now (it was supposed to be set to permanent, discord must have made a mistake somewhere).

  9. I've seen something like that done with ffa3 on 1.00 in the past, although it was exceptionally glitchy because client prediction doesn't really assume the map to *not* have its ceiling capped where it normally does, so you'd probably need some kind of edited clientside just to tell the client what it should be predicting even if you manage to increase the map boundaries, otherwise I'd bet those aerial battles are going to look wonky. Not really sure how to go about even increasing that boundary to begin with myself, though. 

  10. *JKC would like to reiterate that we are not, in fact, directly linked to JKHub in any way. We also fully endorse bagged milk, which is most definitely heresy on JKHub.

    But yes, there are a decent amount of people who aren't yet aware of how awesome the JKC is, which is why I wanted to post that status update for it to advertise a bit more since the original ad was placed almost a year ago :P

    As for any JKH/JKC interaction, that hasn't really been heavily discussed yet. It's hard to be neutral toward that discussion when being involved with both entities, heh. 

  11. o/ Hi all.

    Just wanted to give an update about the JKC:

    As we continue to grow, we continue to look for new ways to benefit the community. We've made leaps and bounds of progress over the last year, and I'm proud to say we've got a pretty solid list of actual accomplishments.

    What has we done? 

    -We now have all sorts of major clans involved with our clan project, including those from various areas of JKA, This includes clans like JAWA, NGN, SAO, and Legendary among others from all around the globe. Clan representation from JA+ to base, and from US to EU and South America. Most recently we even had our Russian brothers and sisters join us! Plus, we cater to all the gametypes. Saber only? We got you. Full force? Sure! CTF, TFFA, Duel, Siege, or just random FFA? All of the above! This means it's easier to contact clan leaders, organize events, conduct diplomacy, and anything else a clan, or even just an individual looking to game, could need. All of JK is doing it, why shouldn't you?  :P 

    -All the cool devs are doing it too! OpenJK, OSP, DF2, Warzone, JK2MV, ... In fact, I'd argue our modding channels are the most active of the entire server.

    -Contacting people is easier now--we have staff from all the major projects (Arcadia, JKLast, JKHub, JK Reddit, and of course our very own expert meme-team for the JKC staff) all on the discord.

    -We have even extended to the hard-to-reach communities in here too, such as those who speedun the singleplayer for JK2/JKA,

    What are our plans?

    We're not done yet! We're working closely with our partners to create new, fun experiences for all the dedicated JK fans out there. Arcadia and us are working very hard to produce some quality content, and we'll be putting out another update when things take off! We also plan to get the ball rolling with some possible JKC-events that any JK player wouldn't want to miss out on. Keep an eye on our #news-and-feedback channel for all the juicy stuff to come. 

    Want to get involved?

    We always welcome everyone to the JKC! If you're wanting to get a role for a development team you're on, or even a channel specific to your mod project, that can be arranged. If you're a clan wanting representation, we do have some requirements that are fairly minimal, but we're always happy to have more clans represented, and we're even known to make some exceptions to our rules for new roles! But if you're not quite making it yet...

    Check out our partners over at Arcadia!

    We're proud to sponsor Arcadia, a project aimed at helping give upstart clans and reviving clans all the help they could possibly want in order to get them off the ground. https://arcadia.gg/ and https://discord.gg/BrYUgdM
