SWBF1 Modding / Re: Tatooine map (I am working now)
January 22, 2014, 09:15:23 AM
I don't work with the core.lvl much so I can't help you too much there...

The level was great.  There were a couple things I noticed:
- The biggest one I think was the "Carbon Freezing Chamber-like" command post.  Walking out one of the doors is a glitch.  There should be something blocking the door because you can walk right through one of the bottom doors (There is a wall on the outside).
-The other big one I noticed is a flaw with the creation of the portable shield.  It is tough to fix, or even notice for that matter.  Basically, do not hit the shield button too many times too fast or you will become the shield, to which your demise is a crashed game because you can't switch back. (You may be able to if you respawn...? Maybe).  Encountered this problem with my creations like that.

There were a few small ones but I don't quite remember except low-rez sides and first person views are kind of awkward.  Low-rez vanguard is a trooper (with a backpack) (I know, it's not a big deal, but I might as well say it), and I noticed another one like that.  First person gloves do not match the user sometimes.

Other than this, it was great to destroy buildings all the time and have an expansion to Mos Eisley.  Great job!

Well normally server crashers have high pings, so just kick the people with high pings

Nope.  Server crashing (as far as SWBF goes) does not rely on ping.  I can't tell you how many times (a longgg time ago) I got booted because "High ping" or "lagger".  Slow Internet was never an excuse...

You are wrong on this count.  If anyone attempts to use a "Recon Droid" spawner, and it uses a soldier class the game will crash.  And without the "soldier" classlabel, your unit will be mutated.  Very very badly.
Unless it is all recon droids or something with "droid" classlabel, then the exe will reject it.

It doesn't matter who has it, Multiplayer will crash. Single Player will support that type of mod, Multiplayer will not.  Multiplayer has extra limitations that are hard-coded.

AI won't be able to select the new 5 classes though right?
That is correct.  I have reconstructed something along the lines of what Napseeker did in his awesome mods, and AI will not use them.  They also do not work online.  Unless they are like all different types of recon droids or mouse droids...
Adding more "soldier" classlabels just causes a crash ingame.  Multiplayer is inflexible with this type of stuff and it's hard coded into the exe, so we can't change that.  Single Player is much more forgiving.

Yes!  Now I just need three more people.  Step right up... Sauce and Phantom and ???

I will participate... unless it is starting before January 21.  I'm kind of tied up until then.
P.S. I voted 28 January.

Have already tossed them ingame and they are awesome.  Thanks so much!

Released Maps and Mods / Re: Serejas Kashyyk Beachhead

For some reason Galactic Civil War crashes for me.  Clone Wars works just fine.
I love this.  Sereja turned a kind of disappointing SWBF2 level into an intense firefight that is so much fun to play over and over.

Actually they are Icemember models (which are most likely that SWBF2 Jango Fett, but with awesome colors).
Link is.... on the assets thread under Asset packs.  Internet acting weird though, it's Icemember's Mando New Breed I think...

I would use the pistol animation instead. Its better than the guy walking like a droid imo.

Ok, will do.

It crashed once i finished a match (during the loading screen to start it up again). This was endor. Also, why do you use the super battle droid animations? They look wonky on humans.
You can only load one Mandalorian Wars level per session.  I have no clue why.  I can't tell if there is a break in my code or not as it almost seems like it isn't even opening the next mission...  ???  If anybody wants to take a look be my guest.  Also, it was the best thing for a Wrist Blaster.  I didn't know of any better animations floating around.

Cool mod  :tu: :cheers: except the text for the weapons do not show up, the Mando super battle droid animation is a bit off (their head turns to the side) and my custom Republic side was deactivated. Is there any way to at least allow me to use this mod and my 501st clone troopers (from Jedi vs Clones mod) at the same time? Again, cool mod, been looking for something like this for a few months  :cheer:

1.) Core modding is something on my to-do list.  No custom localization done yet.
2.) I need someone to fix that animation.  I'm XSI illiterate :lol:
3.) Your custom side mod should only go non-functional on certain levels (Hoth, Endor) and whatever else has an AT-RT. If you want I can adjust it and throw the AT-RT in it's own level file like I originally wanted to.

Thanks for the feedback!  If anyone wants to help, it would be appreciated.
:moo:

This is pretty cool.  It is at this point that I decide to implement adjustable unit counts so that people can play this in Mando Wars without being... overwhelmed.

Tech Support / Re: Ignorant Tablet Discussions
November 20, 2013, 04:50:32 PM
[ignorant reply]
So, I have used tablets before.  Simple games like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, and maybe Pacman are suitable and worthwhile (for free, not for pay, because I'm a college student and cheap most of the time).
I do not have a tablet personally because I like the feel of a computer better... seriously, what other machine can run all of my coding and modding stuff, school documents, powerpoints, Internet browsing and researching, and sticky notes (virtual) all at the same time?  Yes, in theory tablets can do this.  But they are nowhere as efficient as my (slightly aging but still good) laptop.  I actually wish I had a desktop with me but that is physically inefficient for a student.
Keyboard, mouse, screen.  Only the best gaming system.  Only the best for everything else virtually too (almost, anyway)

[goes off on a tangent]
This is why Windows 8 was a failure in my opinion.  It targeted users of tablets, thinking that everyone was moving over to that style of technology.  As you can see just by looking at this thread, there is a clear divide on the tablet vs PC debate.  I sit on the PC side, almost boycotting Windows 8 (I have used it.  It makes me want to destroy new computers).

[ends rant and waits for the Windows 8 lovers to refute his argument]

Requests / Re: c3po model
November 18, 2013, 10:43:58 AM
Does anybody know of a mod that it is specifically included in?  I'm quite interested to see the one Icemember and Napseeker used.
Unless it is lost to posterity.  Stuff like that happens... :(
