I have quite an extensive portfolio, which is one of the reasons I now work for Sony and have been for two years.... Again I impress that your attitude of 'I know everything and I will condescend anyone who brings up a different view from my own' is just in your own words, silly. I choose to not show people like you my portfolio for reasons you MIGHT be able to comprehend if you ever worked for people who wanted to steal your work. The fact that you said 'I'm leaving this conversation' then jumped RIGHT back on it to try to further your point along with downgrading my abilities and intellect shows how senile you can really be man. An IQ is only a number, the fact that you bring that up here of all places shows you don't have any intention to listen to any idea you may disagree with. I can barely see how someone like that works for a company like RavenSoft. Kinda sad tbh as you were one of my first inspirations to start modding. The difference between you and I is I don't use my portfolio as grounds to condescend others.

Cool. I love how you guys think 'there is one mindset of thinking and that's that'. It's not illegal to give people your best educated guess on something and then direct them in to a path that may better help them understand it. You are acting like these people telling me these things and me posting one quote is like, the end of the world. THAT is silly imo.

My numbers have been consistant. One person from ravensoft, two from activision.....that hasn't chaged. 'I REALLY am not trying to come off as a huge douche here (already failed) but ravensoft is published by whom? Activision. 2/3 people I talked to were from Activision. Being a level designer for Ravensoft does not come with every know-how of what you may or not do on a game made in 2003' Also moon, socom FTB got shut down like 2 years ago for the PSP. I never had a problem telling people my best guess on what I was asked even if it may be hindering to the point of a legal crisis. As long as you don't directly say 'yes' or 'no' and give people a means to figure it out through higher ups or asking others is never deemed bad. We aren't the CIA, people can say "Yes you should send our support team a message for 100% truth, here is MY best educated guess tho" which is what each person I talked to did.

Don't eat the bacon handouts either. Also, Yes the things I was told MIGHT be wrong. However I am not going to give someone's name out to the public if they gave me a wrong answer to the questions I sent. People have families and friends and their own lives to attend to, and you never know how releasing someone's name like that might affect them (termination, trolling etc). So right now my answer of '2 people from Activision and one from Ravensoft' will have to do :<. The whole discussion about my 'candid discussion' is this, I did not release anyone's name. Noone will be in trouble for telling me what they did. I simply forwarded like, 1/5 of the conversations I have to show this community that maybe if the envlope is pushed something may happen. I feel as if I had released the persons name here that at THAT point things could turn sour. I kept his/her name out for a reason.

Meh not a war. I just want to get the point across that if people are satisified with one anwser they got and just QUIT on the subject because of it you may never know what would happen if you push it. LucasArts even said part of the reason they released the sourcecode was because the community bugged them for it since 2003. We have tried what, like once to ask about assets?

He designs levels. Jesus man, he must know everything about the company :<. I REALLY am not trying to come off as a huge douche here (already failed) but ravensoft is published by whom? Activision. 2/3 people I talked to were from Activision. Being a level designer for Ravensoft does not come with every know-how of what you may or not do on a game made in 2003. I would really love to see some people go out and start ASKING about this instead of saying 'NOPE I KNOW U CANT CAUSE I WORK THERE' or 'NOPE CANT BE DONE CAUSE THE ONE EMAIL I GOT SAID NO'. Who KNOWS. MAYBE Ravensoft would give the community the right to edit the assets if people bug them like people bugged LucasArts for the source code since 2003. If someone had asked LA about it and they had said one time 'no' and NOONE had ever tried again then we wouldnt have the source right now.

He actually devoleps games for them? He like sits at their HQ and works for the compny? I worked for the company that made Socom Fireteam Bravo 1 and 2, doesn't mean I knew everything about the company or their intentions. Also one of the people I talked to was from Activision, does he work for them too? http://www.ravensoftware.com/careers/job-listing/ <- I could apply for 2 positions right now that I am over qualified for with my masters, doesn't mean I would say I work for Ravensoft, thats called a sub-contract :<

I am not going to entertain your ego on this one. I will say, however, that this is exactly the type of attitude that I am talking about. "I know everything and more than you so don't try to act like you are on MY level". I really am waiting for a reply now "I TALKED TO THIS ONE DUDE I KNOW FROM RAVENSOFT I TALKED TO ONCE AND HE SAID UR WRONG SO STFU" lol. But shit, it's moondog. He MUST have talked to every single member of the ravensoft team already to derive his opinions of this topic.

Out of everyone here I can't believe everyone is kinda bashing this guy and acting like openJK fixes every error in the game. I actually wanted to do a little investigation, this whole talk on JKHub of 'altering assets' is bogus. After talking to a few people from RavenSoft, many of them basically said what warren is saying. Direct Quote: "Lucas Arts was shut down and they released the entire source code to the community. This usually means that a company no longer cares or has the time to attend to a game. The one work around is this; if you want to use assets, just make sure everything is never up-charged. This means you may never charge people for any altercations you make to the engine or assets. If people are really afraid to edit the assets, they should simply send the support team here ((he meant at RavenSoft)) an inquiry about it. I will give you my 99.99% belief that you will not be told no. In the past people were told that if they wanted to do assets to re-make them from scratch, so I understand the concern here. Just follow what I said and you should be fine" soooooo........what's going on. As a modding community I can not believe anyone here thinks that OpenJK will solve every problem in the game. It almost seems as if most of the community is content on doing what can be done with what they know, instead of going the extra mile to do everything possible. IDK. Just a skin/ent/map modder here. But yea, I think that JKHub staff should send out a request to use the assets as an entire team. That way the staff here can work on something. I mean shit, look at PhantasyStarBlueBurst. The team who made the mod only had to get permission once to completly alter the game any way they like and host their own server/master server.

Did you make sure to not only download the client side but the server side as well? What you are describing sounds like you still have the JA+ server side. Also I am not 100% sure that JA++ works with OpenJK someone might be able to better assist you on that portion.

Very interesting. I hope these bugs are fixed soon, I would very much like to try this mod on Hv if it gets base dmgs!

-We are now offering Base and Full Force training! We offer a new variety of events as our server can instantly change between clanmod, JA+, base and instagib gamemodes. -The Hv server IP has been updated in the OP! -The Hv server is now primarily running clanmod with original Base Dmgs.

Open Registration Ends Tonight At 12AM 12-25-13 (-5GMT)! If you have not applied already now would be the time!

So you know we really did try to make this as even pinged as possible. We also have players from Brazil, Canada and other surrounding areas to worry about. A New York server was by far the best for connecting EU to USA as well as Canadians. Really the most left out groups are those from Mexico and below (pinging 130-150) and Asia (pinging about the same). Most americans ping from 20-100 (actually a LOT ping this) as well as EU pinging 50-120. It's as close as we are gonna get to a free hosted event :c. However the MORE people that partake and give these types of suggestions the more likely we will be to try and make the second tourny even more closely matched

Ping, please stop acting like your nose is clean here.. It is really getting on my nerves. I am one person, stop "condescending" (as you JUST did) Hv like I represent every one of our 40 members active. Please let me know how you have done nothing by re-reading your first post. I have nothing against you, however you came onto this topic basically calling everything about the tournament stupid. On top of which, every single chance you have had you have talked down about Hv. If you had given CONSTRUCTIVE criticism instead of only worrying about yourself I would have taken it and left. However all you have done is insult myself, Hv and the tournament in general. I have said a few angry things towards you, however it was provoked and telling yourself otherwise will prove this post. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism would have been: Hey, this looks like a nice tournament however THIS THIS and THIS might make it better! Not: omg this is a JOKE right? This is unfair because euro ping. Anyways, as two forum mods have said: There isn't a magical server that EVERYONE in JKA will get similar pings. A NY hosted server is the absolute best we can do giving a general ping to ALL players of 80-100. Also, instead of going on and on about who is right or wrong (EVEN replying to this) if you really have done nothing wrong and just wanted to help, your opinion has been heard. There is no need to justify yourself anymore than you have. We get it, you don't like how it's set up. Nothing more need be said.

Why are you guys double teaming. Ping saw something he PERSONALLY disliked and cried about it. 'Is this a joke' is all I needed. A NY server running JA+ has been voted the most logically sound choice for this. I am sorry if you guys wanted something else, but now you guys are just making a grudge match out of this for no reason. Yea, you cried about it not being euro base and I corrected you. No, not all Hv are like this because Hv contains people from every clan in JKA <3

JA+ MP is what the majority of people KNOW how to play (whether they chose to or not). Maybe five years ago, yea base. Now? On a game getting few new users and those who do join new the MAJORITY of the population uses JA+ Mp or KNOW how to use it. As for ping, it is an open, fee free tournament. Yea, it might not be considered 'fair' that someone is rocking 100 ping while someone else is rocking 20, however you get those problems both ways. That being said, I have seen about 10 EU basers come to our server and have no problem playing and making their scores 10-0. If we wanted to be fair, we would host a double tourny for EU and USA players. That being said, this is our first open tournament and after asking six friendly clans to Hv the most popular choise was BY FAR JA+ MP (even base and SP players agreed). The problem with base is going from Base to JA+ is meh, its different BUT base players are used to being passive and taking VERY few hits which carries over to MP. From JA+ to Base you carry over basically nothing, giving base players a HUGE HUGE advantage over everyone else (except perhaps SP players). You guys need to take into account this tourny isnt just for the tenured players, it is for people who could possibly know NOTHING as well. ALSO. Whining about it not being SP or Base will not change anything for this tournament. It is set, done. Nothings gonna happen.. That being said please CAREFULLY read this next point as you all must have missed it: -JA+ MP Damages (In the future if we get enough suggestions we may also add an option for SP/Base) So What does that mean? Instead of being down about it not being exaclty how you like it, take part in this and if people SUGGEST having an option for SP/Base per match, we JUST MIGHT make it happen. The most direct and even approach is to use JA+ Mp hands down, anyone who cant see that is just too hard headed and in the end won't see reason no matter how well it is put. Again I can not stress enough that this is an OPEN oppertunity for the ENTIRE JKA community to possibly win that grand prize. If you don't like it, don't join. More chances of me winning that prize :3
