Off of grounding, copy of academy arrived on computer, on other hand I have to play the game on the slower computer for now for after we pick it up even since computer at dad's work is not working, so he brought our fastest computer there. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

Quote: I tested this earlier while on the Wireplay server. I joined the Spectators, returned to gameplay and pressed crouch while running forwards in a failed attempt to roll. On the second attempt, I ran for around 10 - 20 seconds, pressed crouch while advancing forwards into a roll. I did this twice, and it worked both times. It just takes some getting used to. PC and XBox versions are not exactly the same, and I'm guessing they both have different feels to them. On another note, I'd strongly recommend that if you aren't already, that you use the keyboard rather than your Gamepad. I couldn't do 3/4 of the things I can do now when I used a Gamepad, and not just because of my lousy skills, but because you just can't do some things that JK:JA supports with a Gamepad.  I could run forward for 50 seconds straight and hit crouch adn not be guranteed a rolll.. in fact I was mroe guranteeed a rolsl if I moved for half a second ti seemed. Also I havnt been using a xbox controller at all, the softwar adapting is messed up.... and you may not be able to do a bunch of things, but I can do many thing I can't do with a key board with a xbox controller. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

Quote: To be able to roll, you've got to have enough momentum. The easiest way to get this, is to hold down the forwards key, then hit crouch after about 20 seconds, by which time you should have enough momentum to roll. If you're referring to wallruns: You can do a horizontal wallrun by touching and facing 90 Degrees to the right of the wall, then holding Forwards, Left and Jump (this order will ensure you get it right). The same works to the left, just holding Forwards, Right and Jump for this one. You can do a vertical wallrun by facing and taking a run up to the wall, then double-tapping jump, still holding forward 'til you wish to finish. im not refering to wall runs.. I coudl be just runign forward for 30 seconds straight hit crouch and there is a 50% chance I won't roll. I know you need momentum I did rolls all the time on xbox.. anyhow I found a little a thing that oddly works one the hoem server as a certain charcter model, if I quickly tap the right strafe button before I hit crouch it works more often for some reason. I was no refering to anything special or fantastic, I just simply could not roll every time I wanted to. Anyhow I got on the server last night finally (found out I was missing an extra zero for the port) and honourable recieved a butt whooping by the poepel I dueled, I think I beat somone once, because I got a lucky roll stab in there. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

Quote: I noticed in server version is showed : 1.04a anyoen wanna let meknwo how I can get that version? *EDIT* I figured it out I assusme teh server taht said jedi acacemy was actaulyl the jedi academy server... sily sily me... (but honestly that is confusing) I decided to check on teh JK3 server after noticing a bunch of hte files on the academy hoem server were JK 3 maps Yeah... 1.04a is the current version of the JK2 Server. JKA is on 1.01 and doesn't look like there'll be another patch. About the rolling stuff - A lot of things in JKA MP are different from SP, such as rolling, acrobatics (you can't roll or run on walls while holding a gun in MP), and Force powers. You won't find a server that magically treats these differently. Unfortunately, you'll just have to get used to the differences. And yeah, I prefer the SP ways most of those things work. If there is no IP for the Wireplay server, make sure you're logged in (try editing your profile or something). My computer currently shows the correct IP for Wireplay. If it still doesn't show up, ask DJ or another JAC to e-mail it to you (NOT profile post), or press F5 and try again in a few days. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time.

You can get the map here. The reason you cannot see the servers is probably because the only one currently running is the temporary Virginia server. |

the only file that you are required to have to access the academy servers the the academy_v2 map. you don't really have to worry about downloading anything else (mods, skins, saber hilts). the mod we use is server side (i think), so the version # was just for your info. |

well odly enough teh roll worked fine a normal server, and it is a question of familiarty, I find it really annyoing doing 8 way movement with four different keys compared to a joystick that allwos me to be precise with my joy stick angles ( not to mention I like halo more for hte xbox which makes me use joysticks better, and also teh fact that I hate having to redrag the mouse and have alot of power and senstivity inym thumbs) most games I play max sensitivity when comes to joystick games actaully. *edit* and Im still havign troubles getting into teh server.. the whole reason I got the game for computer was the community..

Well, actually...rolling works pretty good if you run and hit crouch while keeping your movement key pressed. Oh and seriously, i rather think that a gamepad is giving you disadvantages then a keyboard and a mouse.But i guess thats just a question of familiarization. I really would like to meet you on the server one day =) _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here! Married to Kain. |

ok when I get on the server ill have a few question like how in the crap do you succesffuly roll 80 percent the tiem youwa atn to ( I run forward tap crouch and I dont roll ever ) I mean for xbox I could literally roll forever, and man doing acrobats is so much more frustrating. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"
