  1. Local game in MP is again, not SP. :P Netcode has no place in SP, that's inherent in the name SP -  "single-player" :D

     

    Anyway, the point is - in SP, if that's netcode causing the error, it is silly as there are by definition, no network features in single-player.

    Lemmee see if I can make it more clear.

     

    I'll give you a general explanation.  Once upon a time there was a video game programmer.  He wanted to make single player games and multiplayer games without having to rewrite an entire new game and just be able to reuse most of his code.

     

    So he invented a thing called "netcode".  The programmer designed netcode to manage the data transfer between 'client' and 'server' in a general abstract sort of way.  The clever programmer realized that by designing the game like a multiplayer game with a server and a client he wouldn't have to rewrite large portions of the single-player version of the game.  He would just treat different 'chunks' in memory like a server and a client and they would talk to each other using memory (RAM) as the line of communication instead of TCP/IP.  This would save our clever programmer from having to reinvent the wheel, and allow changes to be made to both types of game types without too much work.

     

    Hope that helps.  My description may be in need of some clarification if we want to go for accuracy, but I think its a good general summary of what netcode is.

     

    Oh, and the programmer lived happily ever after.

  2.  

    Policies such as No Swearing are looked down upon by the mature players of JKA (which are the majority)

    See I think this is a positive, because being considered mature and swearing excessively is an oximoron in my opinion.

     

    I'd have to agree with what some have said, a lot of these 'cons' listed by various people are extremely debatable.

     

     

    What would make far more sense is to list out features of servers and let people make up their own mind based on what they are after.

    This makes a lot of sense to me.

  3. While it would be awesome to have an archive of the files, wouldn't it technically violate the modder's terms of use? Some didn't give permission for their work to be re-distributed...

    ...maybe but...it might be worth ignoring that for the purpose of this backup.  Since at this point...we wouldn't technically be violating the terms of use yet, since this backup won't be distributed...yet.

  4. Model thing, (unless your saving the gimp file as an xcf or something instead of as a jpg/tga, which in that case it wouldn't be overwritting the old one at all.)  Sorry I haven't done skinning for a while, somebody else might be able to help you out with your other questions.

  5. I don't think JKGalaxies is quite ready for tournament at the present moment, but once we release Phase1.5 and we've made the release fairly stable, we might consider looking into doing something like this.  I suppose it depends upon what the rest of the team wants to do at that point, but I'm just letting you know I think a tournament would be good for the community.  Plus it'd help us balance the game out better :D

  6. ^You should be ashamed for not owning it, even more so if you don't have JK and MotS.

     

    JA has the strongest MP and modding base but the absolute worst SP campaign of the entire DF series.

     

    A JA port of this mod would still be a very good idea.

    I was never really big into single-player games that much, I bought JKA originally for the MP way way back in the day.  Course, JK2 is pretty cheap, so I don't really have an excuse not to get it.  :P

    But yeah, a JA port might be nice for lazy bums like me.  Though we should probably let eez actually finish the jk2 part before he worries about that.

  7. What this game needs is Duckman Drake

    See, a duck, who shoots you with guns. DO IT YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE.

    I have good news for you Mug: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1041-duck/

     

    Also, if you do find time, I'd be one for supporting a Bastila Model based off of the box cover (not the ingame one, eww...).  Or even better yet:

    Yes, a freakin Leviathan would be awesome.  Especially if you did some fancy stuff with the npc and efx. 

  8. Well it depends on which computer I'm using and what I'm doing with it. 

    If we're talking about JKA resolution usually I use 1024x768, so I don't suffer from fps issues too much.

    If we're talking about me programming at school using a fancy nice computer I don't own, I'm going to be using 1900x1080 with two screens.

    If we're talking about me programming at home using a lame computer, I'd be using 1280x1024.
