Could you remove the hilts from the academy map or atleast say which file they are located in having to go past them while picking a saber all the time gets annoying after a while.

Also why are they even in it ?

Again why not simply make it a separate pk3 ?

how does including the hilts adversely affect the community?

Your argument is true except that it is the main map used by the entire community. And this is a quite large community although inactive.

If someone makes something made for the entire community i would think they would also try to service the community in things regarding it.

So i ask again why not simply make it a separate pk3 and let people choose ?

Why should he have to? Its his map. Its his hilts. Its his decision. If you designed something and decided that along with it you wanted to put something additional on, because its yours wouldn't you want to?

By the way that was to imply that I have no need to exert any real brain power when talking to you. An argument with you is like lifting a piece of paper. Its simple, and requires no effort to accomplish.

Why would i spend my time lifting up a piece of paper if it could be arranged that i never had to.

How about everytime you turned on a tv you had to press a button to go beyond a blank screen. Would you turn that feature off in the settings or would you keep pressing that button everytime you turned it on ?

Again why not simply make it a separate pk3.

So youve resorted to innuendos ?

And here i thought you were the argumental master.

God forbid we have any fun whatsoever. Tell you what shar, next time someone comes up with something that might be a little bit fun and enjoyable we'll run it passed you so you can decide if its something that a place like this should do.


Sure if you want to have any events that someone might find fun post it on my profile first.

If the only argument you can come up with is taking things i say to the extreme so can i.

Also does having two personal hilts add to the overall fun to be had on the map ? Or does it simply add to the fun of the person whom's hilts they are ?

Why not simply just make them separate pk3's and let people decide for themself ?

When you spend months making a map like that, you can have or not have whatever hilts you want. Until then, shut up and appreciate Virtue's work or bugger off!

K, thats a relief.

But I think you have to delete the sabers in ext_data also. They didn't come out when I deleted them just in models a while ago.

Not at all.

The map file is on the servers and so are the included hilts, so those that want to be able to view and use them can do so. If you don't, then it's fine if you want to remove them.

EDIT: If you want them removed, just open the PK3, delete the "ext_data" folder, then go into the models folder and delete the "weapons2" folder. That is the folder containing the hilts.

That's all understandable, but you don't have a problem with people just throwing them out of the pk3 folder, do you?

Not that you would know, but just making sure it isn't something that shouldn't be done. Rather not get in trouble whilst being ignorant to the cause.

There are only two Lightsaber hilts in the PK3 files of the_academy_v2 and the_academy_v3, which is my hilt and Jaiko D'Kana's hilt.

My hilt is in there for reasons that should be obvious... I built the map and wanted to be able to use my hilt, lol. And it's my perogative to do so, something as trivial as people having to skip past my hilt while selecting their own isn't really a concern.
If there had been 20 or 30 hilts included in the PK3, then you'd have a point as it would be an obvious annoyance - not to mention the pk3 file size being much larger.

Jaiko's is in there because he helped me out quite a bit while making the maps with sound and music files, so I built him a hilt and put it in there as a "thank you" for his efforts in helping me.

Sorry if those two hilts provide a mild annoyance for you, but they're not going anywhere and if I build more maps for the JA, they'll be in there, too.

Carry on. :)

I didn't like them in their either, not that they aren't nice sabers, but I never use them.

Anywho, I removed them by opening the v2 and v3 pk3's and deleting the sabers that were in models>weapons2 & ext_data>sabers. Those might not be exactly the names of the files, but it's pretty obvious once you get into the root folders.
