So I have really really started enjoying this mod a lot. I have never baen a fan of JK3 sabering, JK2 was not really how I would expect saber duels to go, but I did find it more fun. This mod actually does make saber duels seem more realistic. No need for all the silly jumping and rolling around we do in base JKA. It would be really cool if we could setup one of the lesser used JA server with this so more members could try it out. If people in the JA like this it would open up a whole new type of classes and things to do. _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.

I just started playing this mod as well. I like the sabering system much better then JK:JA's although I still need much work in the game. Very fun and would suggest it for anyone to give it a go and see what they think.  Also, to the people who actively play, let everyone know what servers you play on so we might be able to hook up. I currently frequent the first one listed on the site's webpage. I would strongly push to have a server dedicated to it here. Alot of fun and if it dies out it can be deep sixed like siege was. :/ _______________ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Yes, so that story as I understand it that, the release today/yesterday is what they have been working for. There have been a huge number of bug fixes, and features to balance things out. And most importantly to stop the server crashes Here is the changelog: * g_minMBpoints fix - should now be properly restricted to values between 0 and 80. * Turrets now aim at Droidekas properly. * Full-Authentic mode added * New weapons: o Thermal Detonator o T-21 o PLX-1 o A280 o Projectile Rifle o Fragmentation Grenade (Replaces old Thermal Detonator) * Client Side model swapping system includes: o EE-3 o DH-17 o Droid Blaster Rifle * New classes: o Rebel Elitetrooper o Imperial Elitetrooper o Bounty Hunter * Pistol Level 3 Added for Hero and Bounty Hunter only * new Wookiee secondary melee anim * Saber melee for Jedi (class special 2) * New Flamethrower Animation Implemented * Tracker and Poison Darts implemented for Bounty Hunter Class. * New push system implemented, now pushes where you aim. * VIPs can no longer be melee-grabbed, don't have knockback when being hit by weapon fire etc. * Implemented OJP holstering for some classes/models * new HUD * Infinite charging utilizing the "Use Force" button no longer possible. * Implemented Jetpack overheat feature, overheats after 10 seconds, can not be used 3 seconds after it has been deactivated, 2 second overheat early warning system. * Changed saber trail effects. * Disabled jumping when force speeding. * Changed force power costs for Dark powers * Altered the mana drain when running and attacking. * Added new force power which determines the accuracy of deflections. * Hacking with Dekas should now work properly (bar appearing, sound playing etc) with a 1.5 increase in hacking time to compensate for the Deka's speed. * Grip Force Power Redesigned: o Level 1: Slows down enemy. o Level 2: Slows down enemy and prevents them from firing. o Level 3: Incapacitates enemy and prevents them from firing. * Reworked Stamina system. Now regenerates if you are walking, crouching or just standing - if you are not in Sprint Mode. Jumping drains Stamina. Special one gives a speed boost for 7 seconds for both clone and ARC. Special 2 does a quick dash, ARC only. * Westar damage and clip size altered. * Slightly reduced MT force cost (to 70) in order to give Jedi a bit better chance if the MT fails (i.e. 'uncloaking' near the opponent) * Arc pistol clip size altered * TK System altered. Accounts for both damage done to teammates and actual TKs. * Fixed level 2 Lightning "unlimited range" bug. * Fixed "unlimited ammo" bug. * Fixed "Deka crash at end of round". * Fixed "Han-in-Carbonite use" bug. * Fixed exploit which allows you to have MT / Speed with Saber on * Clone Rifle secondary reworked, has recoil/knockdown in air, increased ammo drain, no longer affected by gravity. * Increased Saber blocking arc * Fixed a crash bug which occured when staff-saberists attacked each other * Speeding now disables Force Block. * Improved invalid model detection * New saber sounds * Slightly lowered mana regeneration time. * Mana drain from gunshots increases when jumping. * Flame thrower arc decreased. * Changed some Mandalorian and ARC animations. * Fixed the random saber disarms caused by the baseJA code. * Removed the attack chain system. * Fixed several crash bugs to do with forcepowers. * Reverse Pulse Grenades now deactivate shield on droideka and battery on SBD for a limit amount of time. * Block-while-attacking introduced - can be toggled on and off. * Force block Lvl 3 upped to 10 points. * Bunny hop cap implemented, reduces momentum with every jump. * Fixed all wall hacks, patches that enable players to pass through them. * Added a client side cvar to dsplayed the big player death text that appears in the center of the screen. (cg_BigDeathMessages default = 1) * Fixed Rancor damage reduction. * Made armour soften hit multipliers by half (i.e. x2 becomes x1.5 etc.) * Fixed the 'double push' issue * Fixed bug where dekas are prevented from moving when a player hold the use button over their heads. * Fixed bug where dekas would leave an "empty shell" after death for other players to board. * Server cvar added "g_EnableSaberLocks", default 0, to turn off saber locks in a server. * Fixed huge BP drops when 2 saberists attack each other at the same time. * Added improved Reverse Pulse First Person View. * Config menu should now be reliable at start of rounds. And now instead of a menu button, you can bind the config menu directly to a keyboard key (Controls -> MovieBattles). _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.

Quote: Virtue MB is better than the base duel I mean like in the movies you get slashed you die with one hit, in Base you still live if you get hit  This isn't a completely true statement, if a player gets "clipped" around 20 hp will be removed.

Quote: I did, but Kenyon just informed me tonight that there's a bug in the mod that shows normal siege servers as MB ones. So, chances are I probably was on a normal siege server. maps should have Mb2 tag in their titles. so yes... there are only 4-5 maps but well... mb2 is nothing special... and not very fun coz of slow gameplay and especially when you get owned by snipers or really imbalanced droidekas. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Quote: I've tried it, a few times, and not once did I see a difference between MB and regular siege. Someone care to explain exactly what I'm missing?

this mod has some things that basejka dont have. for example... strategy... lots of teamwork... positioning... the real strugling between teams... well it has old CS round system too - maps are smaller (i dont like mb maps though... all of them a kinda indoors) so teams can quite easily find the opponent. if you die... you will remain dead till the next round. well looks like CS... so this mod really needs new maps to keep fans unbored. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Well, the servers are full of kids who like to insult eachother, kind of like Counterstrike on Star Wars steroids. But if you're willing to look past that, Movie Battles has some great rewarding gameplay. Saber combat is indeed more movie like - you either love it or hate it, but it's hard to disagree with that statement. Hardly any jumps, no rolls, and a lot of defense. If anything, MB delivers in the duel area of the game because it has such great moments. It's hard to describe why I like it so much, but have a bit of patience with it and you may learn to love it. Jedi duelling, especially at higher levels of the game (it's a point based system, so the longer you play and win, the better your defense and assault gets) is absolutely great. It relies on patience and timing, even more so than normal JK3 play. |
