Zanzibar:
Did you not say that when you presented your patch for TPM to LEC some time ago (including mace windu and darth maul), that you also had been working on a multiplayer mode? If so, how far did you get with it?
Well, that actually was a long time ago, right as TPM went gold, one of our intrepid programmers built a LAN-only multiplayer version of TPM as a test in case LEC wanted a sequel game. Some of our team was down at Lucasarts working with the Playstation programmers for the PSX version, so a lot of us didn't have a lot to do at the time. We played the bejeezus out of it, and it's directly responsible for the creation of the Mace Windu model ;)
We also created a LAN-only level as a test for another project that turned out to be one of the most fun multiplayer maps any of us had played, in ANY game.
Alas, everything is gone <sniff>
<font color="green1">Gone?? Why would you get rid of it?

*kicks a stone*
poo...
'gone' as in all of the IP addresses were hard-coded into the executable, and the programmer left the company within a month or so after he first started toying with it, so he was never able to make it more editable. We can't even play it anymore because our networking system was rebuilt.
Wasn't all that special anyways, we never got lightsabers working (attacking OR blocking), so it was more of a guns-only deathmatch. Although the R-65 bouncing blaster was quite a bit of fun if you had someone cornered...
<font color="green1">Aww... Bugger!

(anyways Zanzibar, how is the 're-modeling' going? ;) )
Sheesh, you guys have gotten so depressed by this that you stopped posting. C'mon, cheer up :D SP TMP is still great fun! ^_^
You're right :D I haven't played that in a while...too bloody busy...plus my brother has the CD, and he doesn't live here...must go strangle him for it...
Go get in Eva unit 00 and stomp on his house XD oh wait.. that might damage the CD.
