BTW if people want it to work in a multiplayer mod, JKG would totally accept something like this (as would many others I'm sure).

This reminds me a lot of Seattle's Pike Place Market, I dig it.

As long as Dave Filoni is in charge I doubt it'll change much.

Not a stream, but a video you (or your technologically challenged friends) might find helpful for installing JKG:

May I direct you to: https://github.com/JKGDevs/JediKnightGalaxies Will it ever get that far? Probably not. Is it fun to try anyway? Yes. Do we still get something fun to play on the way there? Yes. Should you look somewhere else if you actually want an MMO to play right now? Yes, may I recommend SWG EMU.

Awww thanks, I'll try to get one together soon. Tommy is currently hosting a server for anyone who wants to play atm.

Hey everybody, in case you haven't been on the discord, here's a summary of changes planned so far for the next release of JKG. If you'd like to try it out and help us bug test, feel free to download the binaries here and the assets here (just follow the readme instructions to install). Please note that you will have to replace pre-existing installs of JKG entirely if present (other than maps), as this is a full install - this is due to some directory changes and significant asset changes a smaller patch is not possible. I hope to have a Dev server up by the end of this weekend to have somewhere for people to test changes. The official release will be out forthcoming after this preview release has been more fully tested and possibly one or two more features are finished. EDIT: A preview patch (for v1.3.19) is available here. You need 1.3.18 installed first before you can apply the patch. Changes included in v1.3.18 New Features New Cvars g_teamsLocked : (default 0), if set to 1 will lock the teams so players cannot switch teams after 20% of the match timelimit has passed (new players have 3 minutes to pick a team).g_teamSwitchTime : (default 5), how many seconds players must wait before switching teamsBug Fixes and Balance Changesfixed blank name on bacta grenadesclient data now keeps track of how much a player has spentfixed jkg_buyAnnounce so that it can be disabled, set to announce to your team, or to both teamsexploit fix with payselling back starter guns now shows correct price (1) in shop menustarting weapon ammo is now free of chargeammo for the losing team is discounted off normal price depending on how badly the team is losing by (note: unfortunately this is not displaying correctly yet, though the actual charged amount is correct)compiler fixesdon't reward our own team teamkillbonuses for suicides or team kills!don't reward the teamkillbonuses if someone switches teams!increased default spawn invulnerability time to 4 seconds from 3.Changes included in v1.3.17 New Features New Vendors There are now several new types of vendors and treasure class sets, vendors can also use specific fail/buy/interaction sounds if present. You can use these in game by spawning an npc vendor with the command npc spawn vendor npc_name vendorclass eg:/npc spawn vendor vendor_medic medicalvendor Healing BuffsThere are now healing buffs, presently no shop weapons actually use them, but we will soon have a number of items put in to make use of these such as bacta grenades. There are two test items currently that use healing buffs including the grenade_bacta_antidote-e grenade and the medicinal slugthrower ammo. New Efx For PoisonOn body hit effects for poison are now here. Bug Fixes and Balance ChangesHealing plums work again!Weapons can do negative damage (healing).Price adjustments to some weapons and slight balance changesCTF Credit bonus fixes.jkg_allowDebuffKills 1 will now use debuff settings to determine whether the debuff can do a last hit and finish someone offReorganization of some code modules for cleaner code and improved performanceReorganization of some file structures for zz_jkg_asset5.pk3 and glua/server filesAdded "percentage" (boolean) to debuff data, will interpret damage as a % of current health to inflict rather than a hard number (eg: 25 would do 25% of the target's current health).Ammo price adjustmentsNerfed costs for some of the more expensive weapons to make them more likely to be purchased and used.Shield prices have been reevaluated based on their usefulness from play testingHealing Plums now work for items that use lua scripts (such as bacta). Changes included in v1.3.15 New Features Passive Credit System Configurable via cvars, player's will gain a small amount of credits when employeed by a team every thirty seconds. Those who join late will be paid what they would have received had the been on a team from the beginning of the match. Three cvars control variables for this system: jkg_passiveCreditsAmount, defaults to 15 credits; how much to be paid each iterationjkg_passiveCreditsRate, defaults to 30000 milliseconds; how often to payjkg_passiveCreditsWait, defaults to 60000 milliseconds; how long to wait till player's receive paymentsjkg_passiveUnderdogBonus, defaults 1, disabled if set to 0. If enabled gives 20% increased credits to the losing team's players when passive credits are awarded. Setting jkg_passiveCreditsAmount to 0 will disable this system on the server.Underdog Reward SystemFor late joins introduced. Intended to help player's who join the game's losing team catch up more quickly and keep up with the opposition. jkg_underdogBonus defaults to 1, disabled if set to 0. If enabled, gives player's who join late additional starting credits depending on when they join the game consult the following table Team Kill Bonus SystemConfigurable via cvar, all player's on a team will be given a bonus amount of credits anytime any player on their team gets a kill (the killer is excluded from this reward). Use jkg_teamKillBonus to set the amount to reward, if set to 0 Team Kill Bonuses are disabled. Player's who's rank (kill count) doubled is less than their death are rewarded double. Improved Bounty SystemA new cvar, jkg_MaxKillStreakBounty will limit the maximum amount of credits one can receive from claiming a bounty by limiting the multiplier used to determine credit rewards when claiming a bounty. The default is 7. For example: Suppose Jill kills Jack 8 times and has a killstreak of 8. Jack kills Jill but will only receive the max reward (as if Jill had a killstreak of 7). This will help better balance bounties so they don't tip the scales too drastically. Additionally whenever a bounty holder dies from natural causes (falling off a cliff, suicide, etc) the opposing team will receive the bounty divided up by the number of players on that team. Bug Fixes and Balance ChangesDisabled jkg_safeTreasureClasses by default until that system can be fixedMAX_PLACEABLE_CONSUME_WPNS increased to 20 (you can now have up to 20 detonators/trip mines on the field at once).Fixed a minor problem with safeTreasureClasses attempting to read memory out of boundsOther miscellaneous bug fixes, code refactors, and optimizations.Various item price adjustments and slight damage changes for better balance.Refactored some code

Hey everybody, in case you haven't been on the discord, or paid attention to the screenshot thread, I've been working on improving v1.3 and we're now on iteration 1.3.18. I haven't done an official release yet, as I still need to do more testing with misc linux issues and I'm debating on whether to add a few more features now or release and add the features later. eezstreet is currently busy with RL, so I've mostly been working slowly on my own at the moment, but I hope to get a new version out soon.

JKG might want to make use of it this for when people don't have maps etc, we could have the client prompt them if they want to download/install the server's map. That being said, its pretty low on my list of priorities to do so, and I've got several other things I'm working on for JKG right now before I worry about a feature that is somewhat unnecessary.

Being a bad ass with Chewie against force users would be interesting.

I've encountered the same issue as well, I originally thought it was caused by disk access problems, but I've had others disprove that. I think its probably caused by a Windows 10 update or driver update. Which version are you on for Windows? I've found that if you restart the client enough times it will eventually run normally, which is why I thought maybe superfetch or similar processes in Windows that control disk access were causing the issue - but its likely just coincidence. Also to provide more information on what I've seen on my end: You get like 1-5 fps in the menu and then if you load a map this will also continue and you'll continue to get extremely slow unplayable performance. Its even a burden just to open the console. Happens with OpenJK and JKA (and JKG). I've never seen it happen on my desktop (which has an SSD and nvidia card), but have had it happen on laptops (but only on Windows 10 ones). The issue also either occurs or it doesn't after launching the game (it never reverts in the middle of playing, after loading a new map etc). Seems to happen about 40% of launches and the rest of the time its fine. To get around it for now I've usually just had to the launch the game a few times (and just ~ /quit when it doesn't work) until it works normally and then its fine.

That's the goal, but the bots goal is to make it look like they're a legitimate user and get past the radar - thus its always a constant struggle to keep the bots out entirely as programmers/admins on both sides do all they can to achieve their goal.

Sorry about potato quality, but here's an example of an item that uses healing debuffs. Still needs a model, etc, but this is basically how it would work: https://youtu.be/tPQRXv6WPD8

I'm going to try to get a new patch out by Saturday (hopefully Friday at the earliest), those of you who are available are welcome to join us on the test server (which I'll try and have @@Smooさん leave up for a while so other people can try throughout the following week etc). Lots of bug fixes and new features to try out so I'm looking forward to it. I would like to host an informal match that Saturday evening starting at 6:30pm GMT (00:30am July 1st UTC - here's an event calendar which will show UTC and your local time). We'll probably end up organizing a more formal 4th scrimmage after that point and after a few more features have been completed, but let me tide everyone over with that. I'll post links to patch update here on JKHub and on the Discord the day before the event if I'm ahead of schedule, but I'll have them up before the event at the latest.

JKA on Steam for $4 until June 5th if you've got friends who haven't tried it yet. Or your a crazy person who has an account on JKHub, but doesn't own it yet. Other Jedi Knight Games are also on sale.

Poison debuff efx.

When they get bigger than 3MB, its probably better off as a video. I wouldn't be surprised if Caelum has some sort of cap on size limits to gifs so we don't kill everyone's bandwidth if it isn't enclosed in spoilers.

Sounds like propaganda from the Stable Lightsaber Union.

Just right click on the image you want and copy the video/image location, if its a gifv/mp4 replace the extension with gif. eg:

If you're going to go there....can we talk about how lightsabers are completely impossible and ignore fundamental laws of physics? And Hyper Drives? What even? And then the Force is just ridiculous space magic....oh wait it literally is. This is Star Wars, not science fiction - but space fantasy/space opera. Where space is not a vacuum nor very deadly, explosions make sounds in space, and the rule of cool is more important than science. I mean its your mod do what you want, but can't you see how directly contradicting canon makes less sense than trying to apply real world physics to a highly fantasized series where such would contradict already established rules? Finally, in terms of game balance, why would anyone want to use an unstable saber if its just inferior in every way? No one will pick it in a serious match, unless it has some sort of benefit that outweighs such disadvantages? New gameplay elements should offer something to the playing field, some benefit, anything, and not just be an inferior version of every other element that's already in place. For example: If I introduce new items that suck compared to existing equipment in JKG, I usually balance out that suck by making it cost less (we use credits to pay for equipment). Here you've just given everyone a crappy piece of equipment with no benefits.

My thoughts were that unstable blades were going to mean more raw power (damage), but also meant is was prone to shorting out randomly, slowly draining the power of the blade (thus requiring a new energy cell much more frequently than stable blades), it also made it produce unusual magnetic fields that caused it to be more difficult to handle and unwieldy as it interacted with other saber blades and other magnetized weaponry. In terms of gameplay this would cause it to have a random chance every minute of shutting off for 10 seconds, do about 1.3x more damage, but also be more prone to failing to block (weaker saber blocking). But do what you want, if you want it to just be a weaker broken blade that's cool.

Fixed healing buffs (buffs can now also properly heal you). Additional damage plums had gotten broken earlier at some point (probably when we switched to new debuff system), so they were not displaying correct green healing colors when gaining hp. This has also been fixed. Now I just need some healing buff items to actually have something to try it out in the game with.

Mods installed?

We usually schedules matches for that, but I'll see if I can get NubSmoo to host one for the latest alpha. Its best if you come on over to the discord if you want the latest updates/find out when people are hosting matches.
