yeah , I'm all ears . . . . we don't use the MP code yet though so for now, we just write a map script that turns off the force powers. Give me a filename and line number to look for and I'll see if I can gather what you are doing to disable it if yo...  [Read More]

we are going to disallow the lightsaber through the map scripts except for one easter egg, which I won't go into any further lest it spoil the fun, but that doesn't prevent someone from cheating and spawing it into the game. I think it would be best...  [Read More]

The mod will probably be released as a main game archive with two optional archives, one for cutscenes and one for music, since we calculate the cutscenes to be over 100 MB and the music will probably be that large as well, so to avoid having people...  [Read More]

yes I"ll make weapons and shield values correct. I doubt we'll do "lives" though since the whole reason there were lives in the first place is becase DF didn't have a save feature mid-level. Now that with JO you can save and restore wh...  [Read More]
