Just edit bots.txt and put in a "funname" for each bot and put in whatever you want. Make sure you save the file with the proper directory structure in a seperate pk3 and run it in your base folder (or whatever, for your setup). Though te...  [Read More]

Actually the 1.01 patch should allow you to see "all" of the public JA servers (except the ones that have really high pings and are therefore filtered out). While Asteroids was worked on by Raven, you shouldn't need ASE to find servers if...  [Read More]

I agree, people jack up the settings, removing force powers at random, and messing with the force regen time, THEN they have the gall to complain that the game is "unbalanced." Or they use (abuse) admin mods causing people to call the game...  [Read More]

Yeah, you'll need to do some editing to get those non-standard models and animated characters to work in MP. Basically all the humanoid characters (body the same as Kyle Katarn really) can be used in MP already with few exceptions....  [Read More]

It's different in many subtle ways from JK2. If you really really like Kyle Katarn you might be a bit let down since he's only a side character in this story. If you liked MP more than SP you'll be impressed because SP adds a lot of stuff from MP (...  [Read More]

I have no clue where you got that figure. The minimum I ever saw on ASE was 900. The old CTF maps were fun, and I would never mind playing them again. Totally random "me checking ASE when I decide to check how many JA servers there are at any...  [Read More]

It's true, all of the FFA, Duel and CTF JK2 maps have been converted to JA for a long time now (they were some of the first addon maps to appear for JA). However they contain a few bugs, namely the lifts take about twice as long to show up and somet...  [Read More]

The amount of players for JK2 fluctuates rapidly up and down. Sometime it's only in the 400's, other times its as many as 1500 (the highest I've seen as long as I can remember). JA pretty much stays in the 400-600 range. Could be a lot of reasons...  [Read More]

There "is no JK3" in the same way that there is "no DF3." However, for all intents and purposes "DF3" is JK2 (because that was an in production title before it was released) and "JK3" is JA for similar reasons...  [Read More]

Yeah the whole deal is that just because it uses the Doom3 engine doesn't mean it will PLAY like Doom3. Doom3 is designed to be a Thief-esque "sneak around in the dark and scare people" shooter with 4 players or coop. So making a game on...  [Read More]

Give it another 1-2 years and you'll see another Jedi game (my hunch). If you go with the Doom3 engine add another 1-1 1/2 years to that estimate. No official word on a sequel or expansion, so we're all just hoping right now. ; ) Though personally...  [Read More]
