  1.  

    FYI, the correct cvars to set are:

     
    These are cheats, so you need to set helpUsObi to 1 first - best way to do this is in an autoexec.cfg in the base folder (it gets automatically executed).  I'm not sure if OpenJK runs autoexec_sp.cfg in SP instead, but if so put these in there instead.
     
    This enables cheats:
    seta helpUsObi 1
     
    The first cvar enables more kinds of dismemberment (0 = none, 1 = arms and hands, 2 = legs, 3 = waist and head)
    seta g_dismemberment 3
     
    The second one makes the saber do more damage (1) and in all parts of the animation (2)
    seta g_saberMoreRealistic 2
     
    The third one allows a character to be dismembered more than once - and even when already dead
    seta debug_subdivision 1
     
    The last one ignores the dismemberment probabilities defined in the NPC ext_data .npc files and just always allows all kinds of dismemberment.  0 = ignore probabilities, 1 = use probabilities
    seta g_dismemberProbabilities 0
     
    Of course, with the bug still in OpenJK, these won't enable super-dismemberment, but once it's fixed, they will.

     

    My problem ended up being something different IIRC (this was just on mine so it may be different on the others' in this thread)

     

    I already had these settings but it didn't work, what works for me when dismemberment randomly breaks is just "exec openjk_sp.cfg" in the main title screen

  2. Retcons and backstories of stuff they recognize is canon (the six movies, TCW, and a few more) are one thing, throwing out the stuff that they don't recognize as canon (KOTOR, post-RotJ events, etc.) is another.

    Sure, they're bringing back some of the old stuff (Malachor, Thrawn, etc.), but it's mostly fan-service, so the old fans don't leave. But they're changing it so much, that it's no longer what the old fans loved (or is only barely that). And they're using this changed content to make way for their new canon. After all, making new canon requires some backstory, so the transition feels more natural.

    Let the past die. Kill it if you have to

     

    Actually tho it's a necessary evil to make legends, they couldn't just make the new movies remakes of the books

  3. I've done a little digging behind the scenes into Disney's current (and historic) business practices and marketing strategies. The Star Wars line has exhibited some of their worst moves -- both ethically and in terms of sustainability. (And just sheer arrogance and stupidity.)

    For the intrigued, here's a short summary, made easy for you:

     

    The fundamental internal business tagline for KK's management of Star Wars is: "Out with the old, in with the new -- our new." The idea is to make that which was popular of Star Wars unpopular, and to introduce new content in its place for a "new generation" of fans.

     

    This is why this revival of The Clone Wars is going to flop -- no question about it. It's carefully planned. Milk it, and put an end to it -- those are the orders.

     

    What this radical business strategy (the likes of which only a conglomerate like Disney could afford) doesn't take into account is the artistic merit that made Star Wars what it is today -- which is something that The Clone Wars team (with the assistance of George and Katie Lucas) actually carefully invested in over time, for its fans, and what made the show a fan favourite. You ignore that, you focus on the business aspects of the franchise only, and you lose the quality of the brand, slowly killing it. Which is what's actually happening throughout the franchise and all its creative content if you look around, and stop to think.

    Then why are they bringing back prequel stuff lately instead of pushing the sequel era?

     

    Also how is clone wars going to flop? Do you mean the quality will be bad or what? It's still filoni and he has been consistently good

    Personally, I'm looking forward to this, despite having my doubts with the show's pacing. But hey, it's better for the show to hit its final episode than to be cancelled and never get finished.

    What do you mean? Siege of mandalore was already planned as a 4 episode arc and the other 8 we've most likely seen before and they were paced fine

  5. So, does anyone know any details about the episodes?

    • Will this 'season' include those six unfinished episodes (Bad batch, Utapau kyber crystal)?
    • Are they gonna show Order 66 in action?
    • Will we get closure for Ventress (I know they did it in book form, but still)?
    • Something else?

    1. probably

     

    2. Kinda look up filoni's stuff about the siege to know more but i don't want to give too much away

     

    3. The story arcs that were intended for her are now in dark disciple so it's unlikely to be re done (It's a great book tho)

  6. I'm surprised you guys haven't won the lottery with your apparent ability to predict the future. Instead of jumping to baseless speculation, you should wait for it to be released so you can actually state a fact-based opinion. 

     

    I'm interested in seeing how they will end the series and if they'll take it as an opportunity to connect with other SW-related projects, like Battlefront II. 

    My fact based opinion is as follows:

     

     

    IM HYPE WE GETTIN SIEGE OF MANDALORE

  7. People have way too high hopes for this. I'm expecting the exact same situation with what we got with the Samurai Jack return, in which we got a bunch of sorta good episodes unfortunately with a really rushed and poorly fleshed out story due to the very limited amount of episodes and length per episode. Expect a rushed ending, expect to see basically a bunch of old episode ideas mixed together into single episodes with insufficient story progression due to the limited time per episode. Also don't expect the level of maturity to be on level with what the Clone Wars was like previously due to Disney carefully choosing whats "appropriate". Disney is doing this to make people stop talking about the Clone Wars once they've given the fans some scraps of what they actually want so they can move on to their other garbage, basically a way to convince the fans that they haven't been completely abandoned. "See, see, we're giving you Clone Wars, you like us now right?!" And then they completely abandon it again. This season is going to be fun at first and then looked at less admiringly in the future, I damn near guarantee it. There were a good 60-some episodes planned prior to the cancellation. You're only getting 12 episodes, basically half the length of a regular season and this will be the only season you're getting. Disney isn't giving this to you to please the fans, they're doing this to distract you and make you all shut up.

    Yeah but the show is in 4 episode arc format not one long story so it won't be too bad

     

    I think you guys are overestimating how much disney will interfere
