relax you are to up tight. me i dont mind RPG players as long as they dont try to feed me that crap, and i see a post that i can reply with some funneys :P .

just becuse they want to bow before a fight dont mean i do... the fact that my saber is up and and am running towards them.. should give them some idea that i am ready. put it in RL terms if some one is trying to kill you, your not going to obay some crappy code.

Alright then, i'm not even going to bother defending why roleplaying works in Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy, because I know there are too many ignorant people that won't see the truth behind it.

Anyway, if anyone is interested (like the creator of this thread for example), here's a jedioutcast/soontobejediacademy roleplaying group: http:www.rpanonymous.com

check the site out, then head to the msg board.

number 1 about swg-

There is no roleplaying....

Seriously, if you're going to start some RPG server ****, either clearly mark it in your server name and MOTD, or don't bitch when I catch the lot of you on your asses singing coumbyah thinking about the field day I'm about to have.

I understand the whole RPG angle (http://www.1stfistoflight.com), its when people start forcing it on others and if they don't comply, its that they are a lamer, or a dumb ****, or (insert insult here), and I'm tired of the half-baked bull**** you ignorant wankers pull thinking that there's only one style of play, then pull excuses/arguements that can come right back around and hit you on the ass.

Most 5+post threads that I've seen lately tend to focuse more or less on "honour" vs. "STFU & play".

The sad thing is that these honour geeks simply don't understand that THEIR way of playing can not ever be enforced upon others. :(

There is no need for admins because there are no rules that should be followed.

Therefore:
* no admins, no voting = good game.
* Admins or voting = BS game where 12/15 players concentrates on starting kick votes about anyone who THEY think might be doing something that ain't completely and totally honourable jedi'ish behaviour...you know: like attacking your opponent or something. :rolleyes:

I used to be all for this "let's act nice online"-stuff but now that I've realized the hypocrisy and total retardedness of people.. **** it. I'm going to play the way I want and if you don't defend yourself you will die. :)

Happy gaming.

And traij's posts are pretty funny, dont you think you are being abit uptight.

Its like this 95% 5%, 95%-rpg, 5%fps, its very hard to find a good server and i dont really want to be limited to ctf for the rest of my life either :rolleyes: because some f0ggot wants to talk about saber colours, its a god damn game and i think we deserver more than 5% dont you think??

I used to be sorta into honor and stuff as well, until i realised how bored i kept getting. I try not to make trouble on the rp servers, but there are alot of whiners

There are some rule servers that have people who actually fight in it. If you would just play by the server's rules, you would not get in trouble. Getting amsleeped or kickbanned is NOTHING to be proud of. And since 95% of the servers have rules and admins, there must be more people who like to have rules than those who don't.

Let me tell you something... The JK2Files.com server has rules and admins, but there is often a spot on the map where there are people FFAing. You can always join in that, or just run around with your saber activated until someone else ignites theirs and you can fight them. If that doesn't work, you can always try challenging the people to private duels.

Tie Pilot

09-12-2003, 10:49 PM

O so getting kicked for killing some guy who turned off his saber in the middle of a battle is alright then.perfect and completely ok for the admin to do that??? i dont think so, its sometimes nesscessary to join a rules server and when i do the things i get kicked for are rediculious look ^, thats forced me to change my outlook.

traj

09-12-2003, 10:51 PM

TK882421537 is right...lots of times on my server i rope off a 4 foot by 6 foot circle for FFA...play in THERE...

otherwise run around in a circle (AND ONLY A CIRCLE NO OVALS) with your saber ignited, then bow 3 times, recite the last line of the second scene of Ep 2, press k and maybe you can have a lightsaber fight...

if thats not your cup of tea you are free to join us for our singalong by the campfire...its a good time and Darth Kenobi always brings great jedi treats...

just follow the rules guys and don't lame and I won't have to rcon frozen armadillo you...

may the force be with you

TK-8252

09-12-2003, 10:55 PM

The JK2Files.com server does not have admins like that, Tie Pilot. The admin has to see the laming before they even sleep the accused. I was in there once, with no admin in at the time, and one guy was laming and using every foul word in the book. Then, an admin joined. Then when we all explained what happened, the lamer started acting all innocent and started obeying the rules. So the lamer basically got away.

And Tie Pilot, you say that you join your no rule servers, and then whiners come in and RP and complain about saber down= peace. So how are you complaining about being amslapped and amsleeped if you are in your no rule servers with no admins? So you DO go to admined servers?

How are you supposed to know if a server is admined or not by just looking at the name?

He, like everyone else has stumbled upon many admined servers while trying to find a normal gaming server that isn't really a chatroom in disguise. After killing a few people, you know whether it is an admined server or not. Because if it is, you'll be turned into a dead raccoon, sleeped, /ampunished and banned in a matter of seconds.

Early 1.03 doesn't cut it, ASC vs SC was 1.02. By the time 1.03 came around, the rpg nublets already had the upper hand. Also, VAM was starting to show itself during this time.

* I'll say this again: Most servers have Rules and if a server does not have rules, you can bet your ass on that someone playing there will have Rules. So there are always Rules no matter where you go.

* Players do not often follow these rules. They do, however, expect everyone else to follow them. That's why we have to listen to the constant "HE LAMED MEE"-whining.
One minute people follow the rules and the next they feel like fooling around a bit and brake the rules. First they fight and then they decide to put their saber down 'cause they're low on hp or don't feel like losing to the opponent. Saber down = peeze. :rolleyes:

*90% of admins are immature nazis who abuse their power. Admins never lose a fight. You know why? Because a skilled opponent gets sleeped before he manages to grip-kick the admin to death. Then he is branded lamer. Everyone who plays JO and uses "lame" moves like pull-kick / grip-kick / DFA / lunge / kicks / lightning / drain / saber swings that hit / pull-throw etc. knows this.

Please do not tell us that rules are fairly enforced by fair admins.

Please do not tell us to "find another server", because the problem are the players...and players are whining and btiching and complaining about "laming" on every server.

I started a server a while back and named it ABSOLUTELY NO WHINING/HONOUR CRAP and the first guy who logs on to this FFA tries to challenge me to a duel and when I told him to attack (it was just us 2 on the server!) he explained to me that only duels = skill. Then he lost and called me a lamer because I hit him once he fell on the ground after a saber lock. He disconnected after 5 minutes of "preaching to the noob about how honourable jedi fight".

Getting amsleeped or kickbanned is NOTHING to be proud of. And since 95% of the servers have rules and admins, there must be more people who like to have rules than those who don't.

95% of servers have rules because those who set up servers want control. Not exactly surprising.

Actually, getting kickbanned starts to become something worth being proud of. There are two reasons for this:
1) if you're kickbanned, you obviously beat the crap out of the admin & his friends i.e you are a more skilled player than they are.
2) If you're kickbanned you obviously have been PLAYING the game and understand that this is a FPS, not a RPG.

Let me tell you something... The JK2Files.com server has rules and admins, but there is often a spot on the map where there are people FFAing. You can always join in that, or just run around with your saber activated until someone else ignites theirs and you can fight them. If that doesn't work, you can always try challenging the people to private duels.

That's not an FFA, that's just an unorganized multiduel. The whole point in a FFA is to kill anything in sight and take advantage of everything the map offers.

Running around hoping for something to happen is not exactly my idea of a fun, fast paced deathmatch. And what if someone attacks me? What do I get? A DUEL! :mad:

TIE Pilot, just tune out people like that. I find it funny how stupid people like that are! They join servers with Force Powers, and then complain that you're using Force. I was in the JK2Files.com server, and one guy was calling someone a newb (not n00b) for using Force. He basically was then hated and flamed the rest of the match. Everyone (including myself) was then calling him the n00b (yes n00b, not newb).

You're not contributing to the discussion either. Posting about how you reported some people isn't exactly the topic of this discussion. If it is, excuse me because I didn't know a thread with the name "any roleplay sites or clubs out there" would be discussing that.

Making useless posts about how you reported someone is considered spam since you're not contributing to the topic of discussion.

The report button is there for a reason. To report people. But you don't need to compliment a report with a new post telling everyone that you have reported a certain person. That is spam. The moderators know you have reported someone. No one else needs to know and no one else really cares to know.

I don't which one of my servers you had a disappointing time on, sorry you didn't enjoy your stay:( It's hard to have 15-20 people on the server and not have some whiners, but with the "on your feet = legal target" rule RPGers don't stay very long. I hope you'll try it again before you move on to Jedi Academy. On the INCREASED SABER DAMAGE FFA-CTF server I have an automated message suggesting players use /ignore <playername> so they don't have to read whining from Force haters and honor weenies, and spam from spam generators, er I mean killtrackers. It works pretty well. Funny, when I am concentrating on fighting to stay alive or capture the flag I don't even notice what's going on in the upper lefthand corner of my screen.

Recently I was on the FFA-CTF server on ffa_yavin. There were only 3 or 4 of us having a good old FFA time. We were jumping around shooting rockets at each other and decapitating each other. This guy shows up, saber off, and walks down to the middle of the map where we are jumping around fighting. Right in the middle of the fight, I see that he is challenging me to a duel!! LOL, like I'm going to drop what I'm doing so I can have the "honor" of dueling him?! I just ignored him and we kept firing rockets at each other. Well, there was some "collateral damage" from all those rockets and he was blown to bits. He disconnected, probably thinking we were "nOObs with no honor". Oh well, you can't please everybody (especially the members of this forum!):)

Oh well, I love the Chop Shop Disruption server anyway. Amidala, you should consider making the server have forced teams, cause it gets pretty uneven at times.

Yes, I know they are annoying, but it's the best way to inform players and answer their FAQs, since there are rarely any admins around (oops, didn't mean to let that out of the bag). Every day, countless people still come on the server and say "what was that dismember command again?" even though it is in the MOTD, and the automated messages answer them. Since we don't have a web site (and most of the dozens of players who come to the server daily wouldn't go to it if we did anyway), I have been using the messages on the Disruption server to tell them where to download the Palace Wars map, how to install it (people ask "Where do I get that map?", "OK, I downloaded that map, now what do I do with it?", "\GameData\Base folder, where's that?"), and how to /set com_HunkMegs 128 so it will work. I just can't be available 24/7 to answer questions like that, but the automated messages can. On the FFA-CTF server, the messages remind people to "chat at your own risk, then don't whine when you die", "this is a battleground, not a chatroom", "if not fighting go to spectator", "saber off = easier to kill", "don't spawn camp", etc. There's just not enough room in the MOTD to get all that information across. And the automated messages don't appear in my logfile, but all those spam tracker messages do. I really tolerated them for as long as I could, but with the number of people using them (and they are never used by the best players, BTW) and the high number of kills generated with high-damage lightsabers, it was really getting ridiculous. The easy kills on my servers attract the killtracker spammers like flies, trying to inflate their tallies. My logfiles were several MB in size everyday, which is huge for a text file, and a large and growing percentage of it was killtracker spam. I have to read those logfiles, you don't. One month's worth of logfiles is approximately 2 MILLION lines of text (not just chat but all the other recorded events too), and despite the filtering utilities I use I end up scrolling through page after page of "so and so, you are the 112 person I have killed, 3 kills have come from you" or worse. So sorry, no more killtrackers.

Oh well, I love the Chop Shop Disruption server anyway. Amidala, you should consider making the server have forced teams, cause it gets pretty uneven at times.

Team force balance IS on (g_teamforcebalance = 1), but it's power is limited. No server setting in the world is going to keep noobs from piling into the winning team, and also some people call "teams!" when it's 5 vs. 6, or 6 vs. 7, or even 10 vs. 12, as if that 1 person will make a difference. Of course, it's rare for a member of the leading team to call "teams!", even when they are outnumbered, it's always a member of the trailing team, and only if the team balance is against them. Nobody says "teams!" for balance and fairness when their team is the larger one.

I have not been to your servers in a while but one thing I would suggest setting (if it is not currently) would be the re enabling of all force powers when it is saber only CTF.

I was there a while back and speed was disabled and it was quite annoying having to "trot" back to my base and having a swarm of (sorry for the expresion but this was true) newbies who are just flailing around in light stance mow me down every time and not being able to prevent the "hold down mouse1" crowd and their random swings.

other than that little personal gripe ;) I will say you run a "tight ship" and I liked playing there because I don't see the usual crap that goes on in servers like jk2files.com

Thanks for your kind words!
All 7 CTF maps in the 20 map rotation have always been full-force, full-weapon, except just today I disabled blasters, repeaters, and flechettes in ctf_imperial (Garrison 27) because that is a very laggy map and it lags even worse when the server is full and those weapons are used. However, all CTF maps are still full-force and the other CTF maps are full weapon. I am sure the map you are referring to is the one map (out of 20) of CTY (Capture the Ysalamiri) that we play on ctf_yavin. It was saber-only (I recently put trip mines, det packs, thermal detonators, and the Bryar pistol back in at player request) and originally was full-force. However, I disabled Speed and Dark Rage on that map because once you get the ysalamiri, you can't use Speed or Dark Rage as the ysalamiri carrier, and it is too easy for pursuers to turn on Speed and\or Dark Rage and overtake the ysalamiri carrier. The ysalamiri carriers were always getting massacred, so I disabled Speed and Dark Rage on that map to give them half a chance. But I agree it is a drag all the other times when you are running around that big map without Speed. However, you have just given me a great idea: I will increase the speed everyone runs even more so it is 40% above normal for everyone on that map, including ysalamiri carriers. It will be like having Force Speed level 1.5 on all the time, making it easier to get around the map. Thanks!

By the way, during the 20-map rotation you get to play every Jedi Outcast gametype except Duel at least once: FFA, Team FFA, Holocron FFA(!), Jedimaster(!), Capture the Flag, and Capture the Ysalamiri(!). It's pretty rare to see 10-15 players in a Holocron FFA or Jedimaster game, or 10-20 players in a CTY game, yet it happens frequently on my server. It has given a lot of people a chance to try playing some of the more uncommon gametypes, and many are suprised by how much fun they have (although people usually love or hate Jedimaster and CTY). At least it's a change of pace from yet another RPG\dueling "FFA" on Bespin Streets.

Your server is enjoyable, and ill have to try it out again, ive been playing for a while on it and its not a bad place, i still go there, that was just an example of how annoying they can get. i think he was ti hawk, damn he was annoying.

"grip is for noobs"
"grip whore"
"stop pulling"
"i cant take this im gone"

Then he comes back like 5 minutes later and whines again, but all servers have whining i suppose, so i still play on chop shop.

Yeah and the rotation is great, i especially like jedi Master :D:D

Im sorry if i sounded like i didnt like your servers, i do, its a lot of fun.

Ill try ignor next time

Amidala, you should also consider taking ctf_imperial out of the rotation. Very few people like it, and it gets very laggy. I sometimes get 0 fps in there :cry6:, so I have to leave when the rotation goes to ctf_imperial.

BTW, Tie Pilot, what name do you use in Jedi Outcast? We should have a showdown at the disruption server.

When it comes to noobs, he should know. He was on my (Red) team yesterday playing CTF on ctf_ns_streets. Our Red flag was at our base, and he had the Blue flag, but he was just standing there 2 feet away from our flag like he didn't know what to do next. So I said:

Admin Amidala, score idiot
T1 Hawk, nope (then he runs away with the Blue flag)
CornXnutS, pice o s**t
T1 Hawk, now u sufer
jedi pippin, kick him in the nards
CornXnutS, nards lol
Admin Amidala, t1 hawk what are you doing?
T1 Hawk, i'm helping bluw
MICHEAL COLLINS, who here gives a s**t about what the whiners say??
jedi pippin, he's mad at me so he's being a big baby about it
Admin Amidala, then join them or ill kick you
T1 Hawk, why?
saFFron, lol
Admin Amidala, play right or leave
T1 Hawk, there should be a reson
T1 Hawk, tell
T1 Hawk, now
Admin Amidala, follow the rules (at this point he finally comes back with the Blue flag and scores)
Admin Amidala, ty

You can't let one idiot ruin your enjoyment of the game. So please just use /ignore "playername" if whiners are driving you nuts.

I totally agree with you, but there are only 4 CTF maps in Jedi Outcast, so I don't have much to choose from. That's why I've been trying to get people to download some of the great 3rd-party maps out there like Palace Wars, but it's very hard with a public server to get people to do that, and the best maps are too big for auto-upload. I didn't think of it until too late, but I was going to send an email to Raven begging them to include hundreds of multiplayer maps (they could have adapted some of the great maps others have made for Jedi Outcast) with Jedi Academy so we server operators will have more to choose from. I know there are 30-some multiplayer maps in Jedi Academy, but that's still not enough.

Yeah you run a very nice server, Amidala. Every time I visit, it's a nice experience. Only thing that bothers me is the whining n00bs though. But you can't really stop that in any server, they just come anyways... But once no one really pays any heed to their whining, they usually leave or shut up.

Well, your server is great. It's one of the only remaining servers that people actually play the game on. If you move on to JA and host a server for that, I hope other server admins will follow your example and make their servers more gamer-friendly and less roleplayer-friendly.

ctf_imperial is a good map for teamffa but for ctf it's too small.

Also, are you running any mods on it?

There are two Chop Shop servers. What they have in common is 1-hit kills and dismemberment, with heads and body parts littering the ground, hence the name Chop Shop. When you go to either server the first time, enter
/seta cg_dismember 2
in the console to see dismemberment. You only have to do it once on each server.

Chop Shop Disruption Instagib IP 64.246.58.192 has both Capture the Flag and Team FFA using the Disruption mod. The only weapon is a supercharged Tenloss Disruptor rifle with infinite ammo. All shots are 1-hit kills. There is a group of CTF fanatics that play there all day everyday, so they are amazingly good. Don't feel bad if you die frequently, it's still fun. You will need the map Palace Wars (ctf_palace), which you can download from www.pcgamemods.com/611/. Put the ctf_palace.pk3 file in your GameData\Base folder. You will need to type
/set com_HunkMegs 128
once in the console and restart the game once. After that the map will load without errors.

Chop Shop Increased Saber Damage FFA-CTF IP 64.246.58.228 has powerful lightsabers like in the Star Wars movies. Remember Qui-gon, Darth Maul, and Jango Fett getting killed with 1 lightsaber hit? Same thing happens on that server. A good clean hit on your opponent (not their lightsaber) kills them, and usually cuts of their head, arm, or leg, or cuts them in half like Darth Maul. The server rotates through FFA, Team FFA, Holocron FFA, Jedimaster, Capture the Flag, and Capture the Ysalamiri gametypes, so you can play them all on 1 server. It is running Jedi Academy Mod 1.4 so you can do saber-spin taunts and such. There are few rules and there are hardly ever any admins there, and my admins are very lenient and un-Nazi like, so you have to be a real a**hole and ruin other peoples' fun for them to do anything.

Thank you very much. I work hard to make the servers fun, and it's nice that people appreciate it.

well, this thread has gone a little OT, not that thats a bad thing in this case.

i have to agree with the above and say that your server is one of the best out there. I quickly got tired of FFA ( i joined JO after 1.04 so actual FFA games were in short supply) so i got hooked on ctf. I started on CT-Guns but the emoting and such eventully drove me off. Went to United Coruscant next and it was good but really laggy. Then i read about your servers here and decided to try them.

Disruption is now my favorite server. My fav weapon has always been the disuptor and even in united Coruscant i would assault the base with it. To find a server where it was the supreme weapon was pure joy. took a while to get used to the fast pace but its really fun. Moved up from dead last to frequently in the top 3 on the server. I played a while over the summer as DK (creative i know :rolleyes: ) and if anyone saw me there i was usually defense on ctf (you'd also know that I * at capping). I was pretty good i think, definitely not the best though. The server is really nice and there aren't very many whiners there. Only one minor experience i had was when some guy complained that I...gasp...pulled him as he ran away with our flag.

eh, bit of a ramble there. Both chop shop servers are good and i'd recommend to anyone who feels like actually killing something/someone, and fast :)

Well I keep seeing the LAMER being used here. Lamer is some one that cheats/uses bugs in the game also some one that ruins the intent of the game. as like said above some one will grab a flag and not score or some one that team kills. I tend to stay away from saber only games, as I have found that you get a lot of the sad players that cry at every thing.. not that gun maps don't, as they get upset when you pull push grip lighting and all. as for some reason they thing that its a gun map and that's all you should use to kill them.

I like to grp/ grp kick in most map and that tends to upset players. and I get a lot of the your a noob/lamer! yet these are the guys that run around with rage! hehehe makes me chuckle just to think about it.

ok in regards to the post that said about removing one of the maps... well it means that you have less maps to play in and the other 3 will get a bit repetitive quicker. there are great maps out there. but the trouble is all you lazy arse players never want to go down load them. so there is no point in putting them on your server. as you will find the server empty most of the time... maybe we should do a poll how many of you would down load more maps! :p

Uh sure... But would you like a map rotation that gets repetative quicker, or a map rotation that's near lag-free?

For the love of God; look at long as this guy isn't going around trying to force his RPG (Which I think is bollocks but I respect them as long as they respect me) on you and keeps his RPG in the RPG servers he will be no harm for you; so if you can't reply with something useful for this guy don't bother replying.

Treat others how you want to be treated yourself.

For one yes when I go to play MP I want to just blow up people and saber them to death and if some RPG guy comes and tries to force his ****e on me I'll just ignore him and wait for him to get so angry he will leave; however I wont go trolling on their RPG servers and if I end up in one accidently I will then leave.

TK mind if I ask you a question?
Not to be a dick or anything but are you kind of young?

I'm not asking for any perverted reasons but you seem to be kind of.. umm I can't think of any really nice way to say this with out coming across like a jerk so I'll just say it: clueless at times.

I don't mean that in a bad way, I'm just saying you remind me of "a younger kid who does not understand the dirty jokes his parents are telling".

I really don't think you understand why this whole "rpg silly rules" crap pisses us off so much because you have never been on the "abused" end of it like we have.

I'm not talking about "1 bad time on some server". I mean trying to find just 1 single server out of 300 where I can just go and play this $50 game I bought with out being screwed with by some ******* admin would be nice for a change, but it never happens.

Hence we tend to be hostile towards people like the jk2files.com newbies and their stupid rules.
