From my perspective, borrowing would be ok as long as we give them credit for it.

I'll post this question to Aeth in his consulting thread.

Just rememberd, since this is items and pickups as well right ? You need to cover basically everything it is possible to pick up in game.

so for the ysalamari, have both CTY ones which make you glow that team colour and last until you cap or are killed. The FFA one, it lasts for 25 seconds (or was it 30 ? boon and enlightenment both last for 25)

You need the lightsaber as a pickup, for jedi master mode

The force holocrons which you pick up in holocron gametype mode

You've covered all the ammo types ? you still need pics....

K heres something you may not like, but over at the outcast strategy place, they have a pic for everything in the game, praps it might be worth......borrowing them :D

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Ah I get yah, no theres no ammo ones in mulitplayer.
Put flags in there, say they make you glow, and that they are only used in CTF (see CTF section). Or something.......

Power Cell/Shield stations are the orange and green garbage can things that give you ammo and health. I dunno if they have the ammo ones in MP though.

The force field is the blue shield you deploy.

So...flags for CTF...but everything else belongs in my section?

Leave the flags out, thats for the CTF section, all they do is make you glow a bit anyway. Still do ysalamari as that is found in FFA as well as CTY.

For sentry guns, if you deploy them straight in front of you, you'll get stuck and they get in your way. To couner this, jump, spin 360 and as you're facing backawards lay that sucka!! Or when running along, strafe and lay it sideways.

Dunno if you're doing tactics, but like I said before, don't use bacta till you're on about 60 health, unless theres another one right next to you.

you've got me confused, whats the difference between forcefileds and power cell/shield stations ?

For mins and dets, hide them on lights, in nooks and crannies. Put detapcks and trip mines together in a cluster to make one bad bum mine :D So the trip will set off the dets.

For bacta and shields, in FFA always grab the large shields if you see one, no matter what your shields are. For bacta, wait until you're below about 40-50 health so you won't waste it.

Do you guys have any tactics for Mines/Det Packs,
Force Fields, or Sentry Guns?

Also, should I include tactics on shield/bacta use as well as describing them? Is it necessary?

Thank you.

Did you find your gun pics yet?

I (or anyone for that matter) could take screenshots of the weapons in the model viewer that comes with the jk2 editing tools. You could keep them all pointing the same way or something for consistency. Might be cool.

I'm going to write about each weapon, it's stats, uses, etc.

I may write a separate tactics section later on but right now, I'm working it in..

Pah, who uses guns in singleplayer cept when you have to ? You anti jedi type people you.

If you use speed and rage the shot speed won't increase, but you will, meaning that you can literally run circles around and opponent, whilst not dying no matter what they throw at you.

You gonna do all the gun techniques as well ? Such as jump sniping, lobbing (repeater secondary, flechette secondaryand thermal dets) which is where you don't aim straight but aim up so you can fire further and guage where they'll land. Thermal det pushing i.e. throwing a det then using push on it to make it go further, not much use but handy to know. Detpack jumping, although this might be more of a CTF tactic to increase speed, if in doubt mention it in both.

You've probably already checked this out, but over at outcast strategy (http://strategy.jediknightii.net)they've got a good listing of the guns, their functions, ammo types, stuff like that. Might save you some time rather than researching it all for yourself.

This trick also works in multiplayer. Flick on dark rage and spray.

I never thought to try it in SP. :)

ok. Just a note to anybody who hasnt figured it out. IF you are fighting a reborn with a lightsaber, the best bet is to use the E-11 blaster second fire. Because of its inaccuracy and high rate of fire, the bullets actually still hit the body, and most of the bullets cant be reflected back by low level reborn. Just an FYI (if you use speed lv3 its even better)

This sections will cover all weapons, items, and powerups except things like force powerups, which will belong in other sections.

Okay, I have a request. Does anyone know where I can find the weapon/explosive pictures in the base directory? I already found most of the items.

Also, if you have anything that you would like to see included, meh office door is always open.
