    Discontinuing the Updater

    in KotF Development

    Posted

    So the updater is....once again.... not working.

    Needless to say, I am beyond infuriated, among a whole other slew of emotions.

    I had concluded that the cause of the updater failing over the past few months was a high amount of traffic. My solution was simple, to split up the traffic and lessen the impact.

    It appeared to work, with these last 2 days of happy comments. But it only took one comment to make me realize that this solution, like the others, was only temporary.

    I had hoped to make downloading the mod as convenient as possible for everyone, to allow us the freedom to release updates and patches as frequently as we'd like, but obviously this can't happen, either because of DDoS attacks on the drives, or just an increase in popularity.

    Regardless of the cause, the current path is clear. Tonight, I will release the launcher once again, but the Updater will be removed. The Update and Install buttons will be repurposed to direct you to the Google drive folder where the mod is kept, so you can download the mod and future patches as they're released.

    After my long roadmap is completed, I will revisit the updater and attempt an alternative solution for easier and convenient downloading.

    I'm sorry it came to this, but I am out of ideas.

    As always, we're appreciative of your continued support.

    Updater Issues

    in KotF Support

    So, I've been trying to use the Launcher (most recent iteration) to install the KotF mod.

    However, several files (mainly maps) are taking many minutes to download, and appear as 0 kb in the File Explorer. These are the Tantive IV, FFA Geonosis, Otoh Gunga, Eravana, t3homev2, Tatooine and Tatooine Outpost, Academy v2 and v3, Lost Temple, Theed Streets, Ep 3 part 1 maps, and perhaps more.

    Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, and if there's a fix.

     

    Updater presently isn't working, we've been receiving a lot of traffic since last month and as a result the downloads aren't working.

    Currently in the process of developing an updater which will change servers if it experiences issues.

    Patch Notes - 01/05/2020

    HIGHLIGHTS

    - NEW MISSION: FATE OF THE REPUBLIC; Experience the epic duel from Revenge Of The Sith that began the fall of the Republic. It’s fate lies in your hands. Play as Mace Windu and attempt to arrest or kill Chancellor Palpatine to protect the Republic. Play as Chancellor Palpatine, and fight Mace Windu and his pitiful Jedi band. Later on, as Anakin, you will have the choice to save the Chancellor, or to let Mace Windu do what needs to be done. The fate of the Republic rests on your shoulders. Choose wisely, for the galaxy may never be the same...

    - MISSION ADDONS: OPERATION KNIGHFALL; Cin Drallig's cut 2nd stage has been completed and added to his story.

    - FEATURE REMOVAL: ORDER 66; Due to the immense unpopularity of the Order 66 gamemode against Revan, all efforts for future Order 66 missions have been terminated and will no longer be developed. The Order 66 button has been removed from the main menu.

    NPC IMPROVEMENTS

    THE REBELLION

    - Ben Kenobi's robed NPC was mishandled and struck down, but did not become more powerful than anyone could possibly imagine. Ben Kenobi's robed NPC will now have its proper appearance.

    KOTF Guide?

    We tried to make the mod as user friendly as possible. We left out certain features for a good reason. We left out most vehicles from the menu because they act weird in single player,  mainly the ships.

    There's no real guide right now.

    Regarding the updater

    in KotF Development

    Posted

    As probably everyone in the KotF community knows, the updater has been experiencing issues with downloading since around the time of Thanksgiving. The cause is currently unknown to us, but we can safely conclude that the issue lies with Google and not the updater.

    In efforts to test if the updater was compromised, I reconfigured the updater to download a small number of files from another Google Drive, thankfully it succeeded.

    Whether if the official Google Drive for KotF was compromised either due to a high amount of traffic, or some other voodoo, what's clear is that the cause is unknown. But we are actively working toward a solution.

    Tonight I will be uploading the entire mod to another Google Drive and will test the updater. If it's successful, we will release a new updater with the updated configurations.

     

    As we work toward a solution, the entire mod has been reuploaded to moddb to align with our most recent patch from November 1st

     

    I apologize for this major inconvenience, and we're appreciative of your continued support.

    Sorry for the inconvenience, this more than a question is a wish, a wish like the one you asked Santa Claus for Christmas, like the one you asked for a shooting star when it appeared in the sky, this desire, possibly impossible desire, is about the multiplayer of KotF, which is a good multiplayer, but to be honest, to play this multiplayer I prefer to play Movie Battles II, then, because I have downloaded KotF, well, if Movie Battles II is the best Multiplayer mod, KotF is a mod where you can create those dream battles, adventures designed and created by you, it is a place where you can invent everything you do not see in movies, comics, series or novels, that is KotF and it is really wonderful, but it is singleplayer, my wish would be that if the fort of KotF is the singleplayer, that the Multiplayer is not a copy of the original MP and the Movie Battles II, but that it is an MP with the own style of KotF, a multiplayer where you can play a custom game, with your friends create level s, and play them side by side or against, relive the triologies or create new ones, together with friends. I don't know if it's going to be possible, I don't know if they thought about this idea, I don't know if they had already raised it, but it's something I would like to see, it's something I would like to enjoy, it's something we would like to play.
                     -Thanks for your time

    This was the most poetic question I've ever seen. Kind of made it difficult for me to discern what you were asking. But still a nice thing to read regardless. 

    We're working on an overhaul for multiplayer, we want to make it possible to play on different mp mods, we're making our own right now.
