Half-Life 2 supports dynamic lightmaps, and it's rumored that it supports radiosity (light bouncing) also dynamically. I have trouble believing the latter part, but dynamic lightmaps are for sure. I wouldn't go and edit Doom III just yet. UT2K4 also...  [Read More]

Hey, no need to get so snappy. I said dynamic lighting, not dynamic lightmaps, there is a difference. The lightsaber glows, its glow lights up dark areas, it creates light. It can move on a non-predefined path, so it's dynamic. Dynamic lighting. And...  [Read More]

PC Gamer just did a big scoop on the upcoming major FPS games, like Half-Life 2, Doom III, Max Payne 2 and Jedi Academy. I'm very glad they got a mature guy to write the JA scoop. He gave it four out of six on the anticipation scale, higher than the...  [Read More]

Yes, that was another problem. JO's MP rendering engine just sucked. A lot. The addition of AI and scripting right in MP gives ordinary level editors more freedom without having to code new entities....  [Read More]

Oh, and don't misunderstand what I wrote... I think a lot of ArtifeX's ideas are great, and surely will help, but I don't think lack of them is why JO wasn't very successful. I don't think I've ever seen a game that links you right to the files, exce...  [Read More]

I don't think JO suffered that problem at all. I think JO suffered from an overall crappiness factor that simply scared away a lot of players and developers. Getting the mods isn't the problem. Making them is. People are capable of getting off their...  [Read More]

The mod can only be completed on Jedi Academy's multiplayer code. JO is simply out of the question. December 2003 is the release date last I checked. AI has to be practically coded from scratch. Basically, right now a stormtrooper is an invisible, ki...  [Read More]

...this doesn't make much sense to me. JA is part of the EU. I don't see why it would be a problem to make references to other EU material. The video games and books have always meshed together pretty well, because the developers do their research. S...  [Read More]

Yes, but I don't remember which ones. I don't think the ones I got were much anything special. I remember one where you were supposed to kill Vader, and one on Alderaan or something. I'll likely download some of the higher rating levels from TACC and...  [Read More]
