Question for JAK+ & anyone

I need to come out and asked this cus, in the past 5 months I seen it more and more, increase of the amount of people Glitching in JA, I know I can guess to the amount of people thinking so? why can't then? theres no rule saying they can't? Ya I know I read the rules and all, I'm just having some questions about things, glitching in general is probably what 60%+ used in JA community, talking the whole game.

I'm not a glitcher, I don't teach glitching, infact I don't like the fact that people can take advantage of simple things to increase dmg, by what 10 times the normal dmg, just by moving there mouse or spinning, I don't do them I don't teach them, and I know people can do some with out thinking, and I'm not posting some post saying PLEASE STOP IT, cus thats just stupid, I just wanted to ask how u guys feel about glitching.

As I said I've been in JA for over a year, I remember back when I joined up to a couple of months ago were hardly anyone in JA glitched, they did it the normal way the way I prefere, I'm just asking, cus I like JA being Diff for m community, I don't want it turning in to the rest of the community, the way they fight, glitching and cheating.... Don't take this offensivly to people who do glitch cus I know alot of them and there friends, I get on with them I just want to see how the JAK+ feel on it and everyone else.

damage is close to base. saber deflections are not. orions needs an older version of the compiler used to make jedi academy to make the mod handle them in the same way. (Intel c++ compiler 5.0.1) so if anyone has it....:P


with what version of VC would that ship ? if any ?

the only thing that REALLY ever bothers me is insane spinning. that's just flat out goofy. other than that, if they use it fine. there's a way to beat it right? ;)

Hmmmm... how we feel about exploit/game abuse? Its something thats up for everyone themselves to decide. Sometimes I learn something which is called 'a super-move' by one person, yet glitch/abuse by someone else.

Personally i think doing 'extra' dmg because I sway/glitch/wiggle/spin isnt the way Im meant to play. (Besides advancing scissors, the added speed ur swing gets due 2 advancing isnt exploit imo.) So i try 2 avoid it as much as i can. I gotta admit, so far I only stand a fair chance with red when i DO exploit, which is why I take advice from u Carda, and why i stick 2 yellow a lot LOLOLOL :D

But thats about me playing. I dunno what to think when someone uses exploit/abuse/glitches, I usually tell myself they use it because they have a different definition of exploit/abuse/glitch. The most "forgiving" definition might be: 'As long as its not an aimbot/h4x download but in the game/mod, its not exploit/abuse.' I cant say I love to play vs spinners/swayers/wigglers and the like, but, I cant really say they're lame cheaters either. If someone asks me for help on the other hand, I do warn 'this is considerd exploit/abuse in general, this isnt good and avoid this and that.' (<----Hows that for being vague? :P)

Anyweh, thats how i feel about it. :)

well yeah, JAR is a mod but i think the higher ups actively strive to get it as close to base as possible, i remember a few students and knights went out to base servers and recorded the damages of individual hits and then did the same on academy servers to try to get them as close as possible.

i think its pretty good atm, i remember when it used to take like 6 red hits to kill and no one cared. now the deflections are (apparently) slightly out of whack and people complain all over the place. JAR may always have minor flaws, unforeseen changes and the such but i think for the most part its quite/very close to base. suitable for training ;)

"This is how the game was ment to be played"

*cough*

this has been said about just about every mod availible.

Mods, by definition, alter things. Any map, any skin, any new saber or weapon add-on, changes it. With a perfect system, we could change or tweak what we wish, to suit the neads of the comunity that it serves.

However, as we all know, JKA is far from a perfect system :P

I know ppl that refuse to play on JAR servers because they don't like some of the small differences it has, I know ppl that refuse to play on JA+ servers because of the changes that were made, I know ppl that wont play on basejka servers because of its limited choices. There are still ppl out there that use X-Mod and omni. Duelers mod, lugar, no-poke mod (chuckle), movie battles, forcemod3, ect.

It comes down to personal choice. As does how the person choses to play the game. If i had the time, patience, and expertise, i would attempt to make my own mod, but i have neither time or patience right now .:P

i know im going to be flamed for saying this but -
JAR does not = base jka
It increases the vehicle limit, Adds new options to the game, it changes things, it is a MODIFICATION to the product put out by lucasarts. There is more to it then just admin comands ppl. It was made (originaly, and the current version as well i am assuming) to be used by this fine institution, and it suits its role adaquately.

As we all know (mutter) JAplus is not basejka either. However, it suits its purpouse quite well, and many people use it, and prefer it over the alternatives. And its realative easyness to use and opperate, combined with the amount of eye candy, makes it quite popular.

I, personaly, have issues with both mods. I have issues with base jka. I have issues with glitchers. I have issues with many people and things in this world, as im sure everyone does :P

Its all choice and personal preferance :P Lets not flame and blame :D

toodles:cool:

Besides, I believe it was aimed at Squib, saying the JA is basejka, while JA+ isn't... any mod is, by default, not basejka.

i dont remember saying it wasnt....think the whole point is the JA plays on basejka (or as close to it as possible) which is what JAR is + admin commands and the sort (to my understanding)

squib...thats cause basejka is the game. ja+ is a sidemod, its mistakes/flaws/benefits/anything are irrelevant, its a deviation from the original game - basejka.

plus i learnt all i know at the academy and i play just fine at ja+, not so much different that your skills wont work there....maybe in mp damages you might find that. ja+ is still quite random though and i'd never want to learn on it because it just isnt jk3.

i've seen servers with no wiggling/poke mods and i heard they're terrible. it's not very likely u can change such a significant part of the game without fudging it up. there've been attempts to mod the game so that it's to the liking of some; for ex, mp damages or those weird mods that try to make jk3 play like jk2. it's pretty funny because they're not really playing the game they bought...or supposedly bought.

lol seriously next time ill see you on server prepare to be lamed!
i believe you use exploits in public servers - the place where you ussualy cant meet your students :P
gotcha!
security risks? where this unnofficial patch would be placed? jk2files or somethin like that.
you ever downloaded files with viruses , trojans or crap like that from that site? ofcourse not...
so where is risk?
but yes... there are too many noobs...

umm since the academy was founded on the idea of training people to play better ?

if you're only better on one server then that isn't a grand achievement.


Agreed, but my point was, the fact that something is used on public servers alot doesnt neccersarily mean the academy should teach it.

Otherwise we would need to have JA+ server classes, which obvioucly we won't because the JA is basejk only.

Sidepoint - If an unofficial patch were released then the JA wouldn't use it anyway because of the baseJK only thing,
