Payments, Ownership and Copyright
Mysterious Stranger replied to Cerez's topic in JKHub Feedback & Help
I think there's a similar topic long long ago but anyway - I've paid someone for a mod (won't tell you which game tho, but its legal stuff was the same) 5 years ago. He had been developing it for a while for his own fun but ran into severe financial issues. I didn't want the mod but since he was my friend, I ended up paying a tiny sum, which to him was a lot, for the source codes. We made an agreement to keep it (the sale) between ourselves and that it was mine. I didn't plan to release the mod. I did use the mod later for others, but didn't charge them. As of present we've had more made (and $ exchanged) maybe more in the future. Money isn't always a pushing factor. Somedays I'm richer and I offer him $50 for a small job and he says no 'cause he's lazy or my request is for the moon. A month later he needs the money or has free time and we're good to go again. But of course I'm willing to wait. I don't think paid mods should be released on JKH unless the guy who paid for it is willing to let it go free for others to enjoy. Save the site and let the guy deal with trouble elsewhere if it arises. If someone genuinely wants the mod but doesn't want to fork out $, he'll have to learn how to make a similar one himself. This applies in the real world. The reducing quality of mods is debatable. Granted I may not have knowledge of what looks are the minimal standard out there, but I am very particular about how I want things to work in my mod. That's why all of these must be laid bare in the contract, that changes can be made (it'd probably cost more though) over time if needed. And there are a few people out there who have the passion to do it beautifully and want or can use extra $. Of course I wouldn't get any random Tom, Dick or Harry to make my stuff. I'd check up on interested people and see what their background is like. Promotes laziness no doubt, but sometimes one single try is enough to fuel personal interest. I'm now messing with one of the mod's source codes because of a tiny bit of success at changing things. It's exciting! What better than to create more things from there and save money by learning how to do it yourself? Still there are people who like to throw money around. Good for them if they have that kind of money. That being said, I've seen people who mod with extreme passion and give away their alpha releases. And when hard times fell, sell the final one for a bigass sum. It's murkier than what goes inside a sewer pipe. -
Perhaps you could look into what g_jedivmerc imposes on the weapons-only team and see what you could do from there.

Yes i can and have done it before. But id like you to learn how to do it yourself. Its quite fun.

Those are not hard to do, a bit of entity modding would get you where you want the stuff to be.

Looking for a server host.
Mysterious Stranger replied to Dopie's topic in Jedi Knight General Discussions
wasn't there a tutorial or two here on how to set up servers on a linux vps ? -
Lots of summer hosts in LEB. Do your review research on them before getting one. Also 9 of 10 hosts there don't allow game servers to be run. What's your budget and location wanted?

Windows 8 is a bitch to deal with.

(Suggestion) Imperial Knight(s)
Mysterious Stranger replied to a topic in Mod Requests & Suggestions
I think jk3files used to have one. -
ESB. Awesome start...awesome music too. I watched other episodes but only became a fan after seeing ESB. When Vader entered the carbon freezing chamber to duel Luke, that was it.

misc_shield_floor_unit working in ffa?
Mysterious Stranger replied to lil_binger's topic in Modding Assistance
Can't remember properly but I believe scripting is needed, else even if you get them to show up anyone who uses it will crash out. -
Would you donate towards a JKHub server?
Mysterious Stranger replied to Circa's topic in Latest Poll
Didn't one or two people give JKHub a server before or something? What happened to that? I have no issue with setting up a server on either Germany/USA/Australia(lol) for free, but I have some questions: 1. Is it really needed when there are so many unused (even un-admined) servers around? 2. With all the previous talk about setting up a central JKHub server, how come only now there is 'official' interest in it? 3. DDos mitigation. No doubt someone's gonna come at us. What are you going to do if someone launches an attack? -
Jedi Academy Patch Downgrade
Mysterious Stranger replied to Lamented's topic in Jedi Knight Tech Support
@ 1. Put patch commander contents into base. Preferably a default one (no mb2 base pk3s etc). Maybe you can back up your stuff on another drive with Steam's backup. 2. Right click JKA in Library & go to Properties & disable automatic updating. 3. Click on the 100.bat in base. Accept/Agree to the stuff... 4. You'll need a CD1 image. (I have no idea why) Also a image mounter. Mount image. 5. Right click JKA in Library and launch Multiplayer. See if that works for you, it did for me on a clean base. To get back into 1.01, either enable automatic updating or click on 101.bat. -
Jedi Academy Patch Downgrade
Mysterious Stranger replied to Lamented's topic in Jedi Knight Tech Support
Jango, 101 has a jillion servers. Even if empty. Savage, lemme ask my clan mate how he does it (he's using steam)...You're using steam right? -
Jedi Academy Patch Downgrade
Mysterious Stranger replied to Lamented's topic in Jedi Knight Tech Support
There's no 'benefit', even 1.01 has its own issues. The 1.00 community is tiny and some people prefer that than the vast ocean of 1.01. I stuck in 1.00 for years until the decrease in people in playable ping servers forced me to take a step back. But I acknowledge, 1.01 is awesome in ways 1.00 isn't. I love makermod and that isn't happening in 1.00. -
Jedi Academy Patch Downgrade
Mysterious Stranger replied to Lamented's topic in Jedi Knight Tech Support
If its a cd version can just reinstall. If its steam it's more troublesome you need a patch commander and a cd 1 image. (also 1.00 is empty except for some Huns which play about 9 hours from time of this post.) -
I have no name. Haha. You came to ctf once when enolc/enhancer was on my team and left real quick xD. But yea being in RC doesn't give good impressions >.>
-
I remember you.... I didn't like you, think it was cause you were a sore loser in ctf (lol, or maybe it was RC's notorious rep) but I'm glad you turned out alright. Haha.
