Nobody in this thread has ever suggested that you want to rewrite the engine.

Tibby, when I say this I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just being honest: I'm smarter than you and I know more about this idea than you do. Nobody on Massassi has both the skill and the time to make a meaningful contribution to any project of this scale.

you're only saying this because most Jedi/SW games have sucked arse in recent years. JK/JO/JA were the last games that were worth playing, FU/FU2 are a bag of hairy balls. if I made a new Star Wars game that was totally immersive, featured cutscenes with actors and decent storyline, you'd forget about JK in a trice. But that wont happen, because G.Lucas has lost the plot, and LucasArts are fags.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

People seriously still use that as an insult?

what is a trice? is that a british word?

Fiiiiine, be that way.
When I made this I figured It could turn out 2 ways: Silly, or a catalyst to something awesome. Either way something fun happens!

I already have a main composer but I'd like to hear some of your stuff out. And I'll be using Per Kristian's amazing Doom covers once again on certain levels. :P

Of course I should get the whole act together as far as the mod is concerned in general... oh, fun!

I thought Nar CTF was kinda too big and confusing. So many different directions you could go. With 2v2 it was too hard to find someone sometimes. With more players there were too many people to find the flag.
This signature agrees with the previously posted signatures. To violate previously posted signatures is a violation of the EULA for this signature and you will be subject to unruly behavior.

Nar CTF with the level unlocked is awesome but way too big. The smaller one is more appropriate.

I wonder what the guy who made it was doing, was he just sorta mucking about with it on his free time adding all this wacky stuff?

The large version of The Challenge at Nar Shaddaa (C@NS) begins to feel really small the more & more you play it. Fusion CTF is much larger than C@NS & many of us played 2v2/3v3 in that map for years w/o it feeling too large. C@NS really starts to feel small once you master Rail jumping (or even Concussion Rifle, Mine (Sequence Charges) or Thermal Detonator jumping). That's w/o even mentioning team mine-jumping (you can send your partner soaring across the map w/ 1-30 mines w/o killing her/him). Most JK players were never able to experience CTF at that high of a level.

Dunno, but it means the same as "in a jiffy".

This is really false. The unlocked portion of the level offers a crucial second path between the bases... one that ends up being less frequently used because it's longer, but it's essential to give the flagger some places to hide during standoffs. And the standoffs are really a large part of what JK CTF was about; you just can't expect it to behave like Halo CTF in that regard.

More importantly, though, the smaller version is critically unbalanced. Gold base has access to a conc rifle on its side of the map, whereas red doesn't. (Red does still have easy access to a rail det, but I've never found those quite as useful for guarding... especially if you guard in tube like I prefer to.)

Also, did the smaller version still include LL? I guess it couldn't have, which would mean that there's a much smaller supply of sequencer charges available as well. (Which may actually be the biggest disadvantage.)


As for getting a game going, I'd certainly be interested. Perhaps if we pick a night a couple days in advance, we could find enough people?

Well I only ever played it with like 6 people on the zone, so I'll take your word for it

Well, I guess some of us developed a taste for a really particular variety of CTF that most people who only played casually never experienced. I agree that CTF Nar doesn't really work at all for a normal CTF experience, but it's amazing for the style of play we came up with.

"I'll get that done in a jiffy" = "I'll get that done in a condom" ok, got it.
