Enhanced 0.1.0 is Close! Need Betatesters!

razorace · 10-10-2006, 03:03 AM

I'm happy to report that OJP Enhanced v0.1.0 is getting close to release. I think we have all the major features we want (for v0.1.0) and are now in the process of bug hunting, balancing, and polishing.

However, we seem to be low on betatesters and now is when we need them the most. We need to test the living hell out of the latest version.

As such I'm going to suggest that:
1. The Enhanced Beta Server be up 24/7 (or at least try to be).
2. Betas be public.
3. Post remaining bugs to the Bug Tracker.
4. Start a Weekly Play Fest on thursdays @ 6pm (PST). The Weekly Play Fest should focus on playing the mod rather than attempting to fix/test specific issues. I know that we tend to get de-railed in the past and I think that's scared off the casual betatesters.
5. Contributors need to complete their work tasks.
6. A new trailer needs to be made.

Any other suggestions would be great. If we can get this hammered out quickly, I'd like to start on our new testing as soon as possible.

Also, if you're interested in helping us beta test, please PM me your IM contact information. This is how I stay in contact with our betatesters.

Current OJP Enhanced Beta:

Enhanced v0.0.9t - Clean out your ojpenhanced folder (you should be able to keep your .cfg files) and install the package. This package is complete so you don't need any other files.

NOTE: The current beta doesn't support Macs. Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to a Mac so the betas are for Windows only. As for the Mac fans, don't worry, we'll make sure that 0.1.0 has Mac support.

Am I still/Was I ever a betatester? lol
I also can't get the latest version to run, it crashes when I try to load a map.

razorace · 10-10-2006, 02:01 PM

Yes, you're on the betatester list.

As for your crashes, that's a bit offtopic so I'd start a new thread about it if you need help. The only thing I can suggest before I release another version is reinstalling and completely deleting your JKA directory.

Hello. I ran across your mod, and I'd like to check it out to see what it has to offer. I like a lot of what I've read and seen thus far.

I did see some mention of "50% chance" which I hope isn't correct, because I'm hoping this mod doesn't involve chance, or "dice."

If I like it, I'd like to try to help out with the project. If I have any questions, I'll be sure to ask.

Nah, none of that bull****. If that was involved I would quit too! lol.
Even if it was in the system I can't notice it and I think you should take that as a good sign

.

Good to see people showing some interest.

Um, actually there is a 50% chance thing having to do with mishaps when you start getting high on the mishap meter (which is your own fault if it happens usually). While it doesnt greatly effect the gameplay as far as being random, its half the reason I created my own code version with that 50% thing gone and mishaps completely controled by attackfakes and attackparries. Ha! What did I tell you guys!!

razorace · 10-11-2006, 06:13 AM

Yeah, we're still working on that issue.

Anyway, v0.0.9m is out. Link at top of thread.

I'm so sorry I ever mentioned the 50% thing.

I'm just being an a** for the most part. The 50% thing isnt that big of a deal and the game is still plenty playable. It's just a potential excuse for people to not want to play our mod again after they try it since they have to step out of their saber combat comfort zones to do it in the first place. The way I had it was more of a personal preference, though I do think it may ultimately be the way to go way to go or something similar with the same effect. The way it is now isnt that random at all, but I might be just random enough to worry players.

Maxstate · 10-12-2006, 02:57 AM

Indeed, I knew there was something like it in the game but I never really noticed it enough to actually care. Chill Sushi, it's okay.

Paro · 10-12-2006, 06:44 PM

Will the new OJP Basic by any chance come out any time soon?

That's a good question. I don't know. Doing full packages is a pain in a butt so I don't do them very often. However, I imagine we'll do one at the same time as Enhanced 0.1.0.

razorace · 10-12-2006, 10:26 PM

Enhanced v0.0.9n is out! To install, clean out your ojpenhanced folder (you should be able to keep your .cfg files) and unzip the package to your JKA game folder. This package is complete so you don't need any other files.

Buffy · 10-13-2006, 06:16 AM

I just post my bug report here ...
version N can join game but still Force Mastery level is Initate so I have only Melee and there is no weapons in Map

I dont know why this Thread didnt work Thumbnail link ??

razorace · 10-13-2006, 03:53 PM

You're a Force Initiate because you only have 5 skill points.
Secondly, you're not supposed to have weapons on the map. That's all part of the new experience system.

everybody have to begining game from "Force Mastery level is Initate" ?
and kill enemy then level is going to up ?
oh like RPG ?

razorace · 10-13-2006, 05:31 PM

Yeah, basically. You can set the initial skill points by setting g_minForceRank and the maximum wiht g_maxForceRank. If you don't want players to get experience, just set them both to the same value.

ensiform · 10-13-2006, 06:54 PM

Lol... maybe change score to xp points then, and you could maybe add some type of guid that is used, vry easy 2 do. could even then have xp save/storage then on the server based on GUID. Course, it would be nice to do it with the engine code but it can be easily done via cgame, just need to add md5 stuff and you should be good. I've got the code somewhere, so i can make a ticket to the trac and add it sometime soon.

razorace · 10-13-2006, 07:15 PM

GUIDs are interesting, but I don't think we'd really need to use that vs a simple username/password.

Besides, from design standpoint, I think we're going to have the skill points reset at the end of each round anyway. Lets move this conversation over to the Experience System thread if you want to talk about it more.

Buffy · 10-13-2006, 11:20 PM

I play UT2004 with RPG mod so

I love it

razorace · 10-26-2006, 08:09 PM

Today's play test (10/26/06) is probably going to be delayed for an hour or so (to 7pm PST). I simply haven't had the time to make the needed changes and create a new beta package.

ensiform · 10-29-2006, 10:04 PM

Just a heads up guys, pistol glitch where it had limited ammo is fixed by making weapons.dat not load during enhanced. Also: the pickup centerprint message of security keys is fixed as well.

VoteSys tweaks to drawvote function :
- The vote info (cmd and parameter) should never appear blank or with garbage characters.
- Uses CG_GetStringEdString with Q_strncpyz instead of the direct trap translation cmd.
- Added Jedi Master and CoOp to the list of displayable gametypes when g_gametype is being voted for.
- Added timelimit, capturelimit, and fraglimit displaying when those are voted for.
- Added generic else switch to just display whatever is in the main vote string and not split into 2 parts like map, kick, timelimit, etc.

Razor has fixed the scoreboard in CoOp now so that it uses the team scoreboard since it is technically a team-game.

Cleaned up some of the CP coloring and who message is displayed to for Secret and Autosave messages.

Fraglimit, and timelimit no longer display on the map loading screen.

Note: also in basic with the exception of the pistol ammo fix by stopping weapons.dat from loading.

UDM · 10-29-2006, 11:33 PM

Awesome thanks Razor!

razorace · 10-30-2006, 04:26 AM

Ensiform needs some props as well. He did a LOT of coding work after our play test yesterday.

Maul007 · 10-30-2006, 06:52 AM

I want to be beta tester

If you have xfire add kueto

otherwise pm me

razorace · 10-31-2006, 02:35 PM

I'm not really interested in running yet another IM service but thanks for the information.

ok razor

Maxstate · 11-01-2006, 11:29 AM

I'm still working on the HTML conversions, but I'm working on the last 15kb+ file so after this one it's all easy. I'm at OJP_Changes_basic right now.
It is DONE!

From 36KB to a whopping 42 :P

I'm gonna take a break and start on OJP_changes_enhanced.

Please place your prototype files on the repository. Me and Ensi have been making a lot of changes to the changelogs so we need to have the prototype on there so we can start adding entries to it rather than the .txt file. We dont want to lose our last few days of changelog updates.
