I think JO's (and Q3's) dynamic lighting is based off the lightmaps, so it doesn't light dark rooms well. JA, however, has a really awesome per-pixel dynamic light effect that fully lights up any dark room. You could make a flashlight with it....  [Read More]

Razorace, I think maybe you're not understanding the concept of "balanced gameplay"... From what I understand, you want to make the staff splitable into dual sabers, at will, without having the player to make any substancial Force point al...  [Read More]

...why only a little? You're making it sound like you want people to be able to split their staff into two sabers without much of a sacrifice, which renders choosing the dual sabers almost entirely pointless. Being able to switch between a staff and...  [Read More]

You'd have to make it worth a lot of Force points to use another saber, enough to severely cripple the rest of your Force powers. Like in JK, Force Protect and Deadly Sight required you to sacrifice all neutral Force powers like Jump, Speed, Seeing,...  [Read More]

Is any of the filesystem code in the JO game code? I doubt it, but if it is, it would be possible to load additional mods straight in the game itself. Infact, you wouldn't need access to that code, I think. Since we're working with DLLs now, we're no...  [Read More]

I still have one beef with the vehicle pack. As a mapper, I have no reason to use it unless I've using a lot of custom vehicles. It means I have to rely on people to go download OJP (is the vehicle pack seperate or part of Basic?), as opposed to me j...  [Read More]

That was then, this is now. A lot of people hate RPG and admin mods now. Besides, it's just not worth the risk. I'd be all for a true, full blown RPG mod, one that doesn't interfere with regular games (JK had one, it was pretty slick, with a new lev...  [Read More]

The color of the blur is in the code, it isn't derived from the saber glow texture, so when you swing, the blur has a different color than that of the blade itself. Try any mod that alters the glow textures, and take a look at how it doesn't match up...  [Read More]

Yuck. Those are bad (Real Sabers). One thing these "saber arists" seem to fail to realize is that, although their blurring of the glows (a common technique) looks good while you're holding your saber, it doesn't match up to the hard coded...  [Read More]
