Ok, we gotta do something about the lack of MotF servers. As such, we are introducing the MotF Server Challenge. Basically, this is a simple concept. In exchange for hosting a dedicated 24/7 MotF server for a given amount of time, we'll put your r...  [Read More]

Nothing you'll see. There's some models changes internally for hit detection purposes but not anything you'll see. If you want additional models, you can just add them like you do normally....  [Read More]

We're probably sticking with the force powers seen in the movies. The EU stuff tends to make the Jedi overpowered. Yes, there will be a RPG sort of skills system. We're going to have a open skills (no class restrictions) system with an optional leve...  [Read More]

As for your specific questions: yes, there will be new or improved force powers. no, there won't be NPCs in MP. That would require a lot of AI work that we don't think it worth the effort at this point. No, that would require engine changes that w...  [Read More]

That's even worse. You can't really randomize the missions because the game isn't intellegent enough to be able to alter the basic mission concept (find the ___, take ____ to____, etc.)...  [Read More]

iD has something like a 2% royality fee of net profits in addition to the $250,000 up front. Makes you wonder why so many people take that deal over say, Torque. Right now, Torque seems to be the best for smaller companies or even larger companies....  [Read More]

Well, it depends on the engine. Torque (Tribes series) only costs $100 per programmer for a commerical license. But the other more known systems cost hundreds of thousands. As for coding load for mods, it really depends on the mod. I'm finding that...  [Read More]

Well, there are a lot of us modders that would LOVE to do our stuff professionally. However, a real game requires a lot of money to pay staff, get software/hardware, etc. I'd love to do it but I don't have the money for that sort of venture....  [Read More]

Again, the generated missions are only as good as the inputed creative data from the developers. As for the stagnation comment, I'd have to partially agree, but that's the way it's been for a decade or so. When big business comes into the picture,...  [Read More]

I wouldn't call it impossible. The technology is here it's just the content issue. Computers can only randomize stuff to a certain degree. The amount of content to be able to make a randomizable Star Wars "galaxy" would take decades and STI...  [Read More]

...or add more interactivity with the maps to allow players to slow down and "smell the roses". Duke 3D was a great example of this. There was plenty of interesting things to touch and play with instead of just picking up cardkeys, throwing...  [Read More]

well, part of the problem is that the developers have to spend a large amount of time to create the maps. Meaning they have to have some way of MAKING you spend a fair amount of time on that map. IE puzzles, key hunts, etc. Otherwise, players would h...  [Read More]

Uh, to correct everyone out there, pain skins are not what we're probably seeing in those screenies. "Pain skins" are where the model skin switches based on the character's health level/damage. Pain skins only show generic damage instead...  [Read More]
