The Underground Resistance Gaming group was a group designed in 2002 designed for the finer sides of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 Role Playing. From this group, spawned a Modification to the game that won’t do anything revolutionary. The Underground Resistance Siege Mod was born. We’re not attempting to revolutionize JK in any way. We’re trying to make it fun. We’re trying to allow for the most harmless level of JKRPGing possible. In order to create hype, and possibly gain a few members, I decided to compile the following list of possible features.
(The following is for the Special Forces side of the group, the Academy of the Sabers group has still yet to be completely planned out)

Races
With 11 races to choose from, each with their own specific statistics and abilities, players will have no trouble creating that ‘Perfect’ Role Playing character.

Human
Rodian
Wookie
Gran
Trandoshan
Bothan
Twi'lek
Mon Calamari
Aqualish
Gamorrean
Noghi (Nogri)

Classes
With the advent of Classes, as used by the Galactic Civil Wars mod, URS decided to take up the same idea. Each class has a set of modification statistics, that modify the number statistics races have. There are certain levels achievable, each giving a higher, and in some fields, lower Modification numbers. At one point, completely new classes are available to certain leveled users.

Normal Classes-
Medic
Engineer
Pilot
Ranger
Short Range Scout
Long Range Scout

Advanced Classes-
Bio-Technician (Medic & Engineer)
Spy (Ranger, Short Range Scout)
Sniper (Long Range Scout)
Special Operations Pilot (Pilot)

Stats

Well, what would an RPG be without stats? URS will include Player stats that effect the use of weapons, and other items. But to avoid the hassle of stats, players will never deal with them. Ever. Stats are all handled behind the scenes, allowing for submersed game play, rather than stat based wars. A weapon’s accuracy is effected by the accuracy of someone’s race, and the class they choose. The strength of a player depicts what types of weapons, and how fast they can run with each weapon. Things like this allow for balanced game play, giving the player the ultimate control over their gaming style.

The Player
To further balance game play, and make the game more RPG or SWAT like, we’ve made some edits to the player. 3 modes of standing. Normal Standing, which makes weapons fire at 50% accuracy, sitting stance, which makes weapons fire at 75% accuracy, but makes stepping slower, but quite. And laying stance, which is 100% accuracy, plus it’s silent, but slow movement. Instead of holding the crouch key, you tap it once to move through stances.

Stamina allows the player to move fast in bursts, or steady forever. This minimizes jumping and firing, because jumping takes all Stamina away. A single fist punch lowers stamina before it hurts you, making training weapons for training levels realistic, in the sense that they hurt, but don’t damage you. Stamina regenerates over time, depending on your stance.

The option of pressing forward or backward and the player continues to move along that path, therefore allowing players to type and move (With the mouse) and possibly shoot.

Changing running and jumping speeds to halfway realistic movement.

Reloading and clips.

Once your health has reached 0, your player is stuck in ‘Lay’ mode, and Stamina wears out fast in this ‘Death’ state. You can be picked up and moved in this state by a comrade. If after a certain time you do not receive medical attention your health will drop to -10, at which you die, and are kicked from the game. A single death means your ultimate death in the game. This is used for much more realistic RPGing, in order to keep a consistency of life and death. Because it’s a team based game, and NPCs are your only worry, death is highly unlikely.

Things To Add In The Future

Multiplayer Vehicles
Strategy Style NPC Control
Weapons Showing Up On A Person
Weapon Creation

I’m dying to hear all of your ideas, and perhaps opinions (But mostly Ideas) for URS. I’ll post the highly compressed version of the weapons list I’ve posted in the past, and also a boastingly large list of members.

Why not replace the lame 'aqualish' with something cool like a Givin (can survive in vacuum) or...... something like... ummm... i dunno. aqualish are just lame.

I like the sounds of Morrowind-style hand to hand, where it takes away fatigue instead.

That's very cool, I hope it even does the knockdown thing and everything.

You know, now that I think about it, a mod of this type would run much better of ky.pup was blank and each keyframe was run individually by cog, it'd save a lot of trouble in the long run.

Good luck to you.

Too many weapons.

------------------
[Insert the wittiest, most cynical thing you will ever lay eyes on here.]

Not really, due to the fact that players can customize their person so much, we thought the arsenel of weapons they used could be costimized as well. We've moved the list from 53 to 24, with a very diverse group of Firing rates, blast radius, reach, accuracy, and ammunition. With that diversety comes actual skilled warriors, vurses jumping and running First Person Shooters.

All of the weapons sound great, races sound fine, I LOVE the vehicles idea, it's just that.... I NEED SOME SWOOP-RIDIN' JAWAS, BABY!

that sounds really great, but that's a lot of work. You sure you can pull it off. Cuz if you can't....

jEDIkIRBY, check your e-mail.

Try not, do; or do not.

You know pretty much what I think. It'll own, if you pull it off. Being in UR, you'll probably get more of my input later.

I have posted.

I partially agree, Aqualish should be taken out (They're a good choice, but one that I dont think many people will take advantage of)

Noghri, unless you have a specific reason for including them, might not be a good idea.. Noghri used to be Vader's personal assassins, and, during this timeline, are mostly bodyguards for Leia (since the thrawn trilogy, atleast). Now, I'm not sure what the other Noghri are doing, because the books I've read only ever put emphasis on the bodyguards, but I dont imagine them to be a very common sight in the SWU.

I would, however, suggest including Gand. just 'cuz they own.

------------------
Moo.

I DON'T SEE D-18 ON THERE, KIRB.

Uhh, Jedi Academy already has drivable MP vehicles.
Edit: oops, I failed to read the top of the message. I think that sounds like a good idea.

sounds cool...JOIN IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU


------------------
go find a monkey and just laugh at him if you want to date me

the noghi are just doing that, being bodyguards and living their life on wayland, NJO has them. the idea of the noghi being in there is good, but based off all the classes thee are no assassin, or bodyguard bit they could be, they could be any of the others, but how likely is that? still looks good so far, grand idea, hope it pans out fully

Correct, Genki, but to the best of my knowledge, they're only bodyguards for Leia and such, because of the whole lady vader thing or whatever.. but as I said, I dont know if there's any other noghri just wandering the universe or not, because it's not mentioned in the books to the best of my knowledge

OK, Here are some extra things that will be included within the world:

Destruction...
Thin Walls, Some Ceilings/Floors, pillars, ceiling beams, chairs, tables, catwalks, boxes, vehicles, door frames and doors, ceiling lamps, etc are all breakable things. Instead of breaking them, and keyframing their fall, we'll be giving them the 'Movable' flag, and allow them to fall on their own, changing their descent nearly every time. Rubble from doors, walls, and ceilings/floors can be used as protection, and smaller items, like chairs and crates can be force-thrown. Tipping a table up on its side may be a good way to protect yourself.

Weapon Properties
Blasters, to be true to the original trilogy, will have small amounts of splash damage, and some of the larger weapons will have more. All weapons will have grazing damage. Characters will have area specific damage, as will it effect their proficiency. A damaged arm means only 1 handed weapons, etc. Some weapons will be able to travel through the oponent.

Yea, more eh?

The Destruction part of your last post sounds pretty **** good. Reminds me alot of some awesome HL2 game footage I saw today (seeing that footage btw, made me think higher of the game than any screenshots or posts I've read have.). If you can do that and implement it well, that should own.

I'm not sure about the Weapon Properties stuff yet. I think it'll be one of those things I'll have to see and play before I can really make up my mind.

There, was that enough?

I'm still waiting for just one your projects to finish.

Add 106 to my post count for my old name NapoleoneXIV

A few other things I forgot to mention:

Dives
When pressing forward and jump, the player will dive forward, then roll. This is well off for quick dodging of heavy explosives or sniper-shots.

Secondary Fire
Secondary Fire will be only used to vary the power of the weapon. Instead of only having 2 fire buttons, you'll have multiple butons, because you can change the damage type with the right button. This will be used for scrolling through explosives, power (and thus spending) of ammunition, and finally silencers.

Wall Hug
A possible ability may be wall hugging, as where standing near the wall, or pressing in the direction of the wall makes you lean up against it, allowing you to look around corners, and cover from enemy fire.
