Forcemod 2 Beta Feedback - Page 6

KiLLeR_SqUiRReL · 04-02-2003, 01:47 PM

hey azymn, remember me? well, i know you get this a lot, and beta 2 is probably near release, but i was wondering if i could get a sneak-peak? if so, email it to me at matthewjohnston@mail.com
Thanks in advance!

Azymn · 04-02-2003, 05:48 PM

The final beta is nearing completion, with these things remaining:

1) I'm implementing a new system for making MercBots through a single config file so you won't have to edit any botfiles. This same config file will allow a number of other adjustments to bots as well.

2) There will be 7 Customizable Lightsaber Blades, one for each Episode of StarWars (1-6) and one ancient blade (ExarCun's Blade Re-skin) - i will be skinning the first 6.

3) The New Force Sides menus need to be tweaked for maximum usability when creating your character, including the saving and loading of forceConfig files.

4) Saber Hilt Breakability needs to be reimplemented

5) Lightning and Drain must be properly blockable

6) A number of small, miscellaneous balance tweaks

Once these are finished, the final beta will be released. I will not be adding any significant features between now and then, to ensure a sooner release date.

Lord_Plo_Koon: Got your email, you're on the list.

Reaper: By all means, whip out some new flameHit FX - I'd like to see what you can come up with.

Kaia: I know what causes the scaling problem, but it's at the bottom of the to-fix list.

SqUiRReL: You're on the list to get a copy of beta 3. Thanks for supporting the mod, even in it's infancy.

KiLLeR_SqUiRReL · 04-02-2003, 06:19 PM

really? im on the list for beta 3?! OMG! IVE NEVER BEEN ON THE LIST! THANK YOU! oh, and it was my pleasure supporting the mod. i loved beta 1, and now that beta 2 is almost here, and i get to test beta 3, omg, im about to feint...

Azymn · 04-02-2003, 06:36 PM

Oh...one more big thing that must be added to beta 3 that i forgot to mention: Admin commands. The code for these has been provided by the Jedi Academy Mod creator cHoSen One (ZeRoCooL in these forums), so they shouldn't take much time to implement.

SqUiRReL (and others who are new to the thread), before you faint, a few clarifications:
ForceMod 1 had one release in beta form.

ForceMod 2 has already had two beta releases, beta 1 and beta 2.
This next release is simply the third beta (beta 3) of ForceMod 2.

kazesan · 04-02-2003, 07:22 PM

Any official news on a open beta or public final release. This mod seems pretty top quality and I wouldn't mind playnig it. So you can either e-mail me the newest beta please, or tell me when this beautiful piece of code hits the open market.

KiLLeR_SqUiRReL · 04-04-2003, 06:51 PM

i am trying put together a trailer/preview for the upcoming spring release of ForceMod2 and i am short on actors. if anyone would consider helping please email me at n64101101@hotmail.com

Flamehart · 04-08-2003, 10:38 PM

Hey guys. Haven't had time to find any bugs in forcemod lately, school's been pounding on me and i had to reformat, no worries I still have the mod

Anyway, Azymn, I would also like to be on the beta 3 list if at all possible. I will return to beta testing the current version as soon as I possibly can.

arief_9 · 04-14-2003, 05:06 AM

Hey Azymn can I test it too? My email address is arief_9@hotmail.com please I want to test your mod

KiLLeR_SqUiRReL · 04-15-2003, 10:12 PM

well, its obvious we're all wating and excited about this! i hope its out soon!

bliv · 04-17-2003, 03:15 PM

Beta testing has been going on for well over a month. And that's the 2nd beta. All the faults have been identified and are being worked on by Azymn. Just hang in there. It's good and worth waiting for.

arief_9 · 04-18-2003, 04:48 AM

Does this mean i can test it? BTW killer_squirrel can you send the beta2 to me cause i wann try it PLEASE

000nate · 04-22-2003, 02:19 PM

Looking good.

Azymn · 04-25-2003, 12:40 AM

I just got to work on the mod for a few hours last night (finals are over ).

Here's just a few things coming up in the next beta:

- Brand new mercbot system using a cfg file. This means you can start the game and it'll load appropriate bots as mercs without you having to change a single file. And when you want to choose who is and who isn't a merc, it's all in one file.

- 7 different lightsaber blades to choose from, each loosely based on an Episode, with Episode 0 being an ancient sith blade (Exar Cun's).

- Two new merc classes: HotShot and Trooper.

Beta 3 is finally on it's way....
[edit] meaning i now have time to work on it [/edit]

rut-wa jodar · 04-25-2003, 06:36 AM

Cool News Azymn

I will be checking my email every hour until beta3 arrives. I am really looking forward to testing this next beta.

Azymn · 04-25-2003, 06:50 AM

...i made it sound like it was 'in the mail'

Beta 3 has not been sent yet, i'm working on it right now. I only mean to say i've finally started to pound away at it.

But it is close to release.

My mistake entirely

My impatience got the better of me

It will certainly be worth waiting a little while longer

BTW ! I donated some credits to you as a small gesture of appreciation. keep up the great work !!!!

Dark Reaper · 04-25-2003, 07:49 AM

Azymn, I'm sorry that I didn't yet have sent you the efx,cuz I'm having some prob's with Mandalorian revenge and school and stuff... but you will get it today or tommorow

bliv · 04-25-2003, 06:08 PM

Sounds good. Anyone like to update me on the tweaks since beta 2. I really enjoyed playing beta 2. Hope this improves further on Forcemod.

SithLordNR1 · 04-28-2003, 01:11 PM

Hey! Can I be a beta-tester too? I really think it sounds like a great mod!

If you'll let me be a beta-tester just PM me... The I'll Pm you, my email-address!

Thanks!

Mace_Windu21 · 04-28-2003, 09:58 PM

I was wondering if the testers for beta 2 will be on the list for beta 3 testers??? Please notify me soon, thx!

Padawan_7 · 04-30-2003, 02:58 PM

Azymn,

In case you haven't had a chance to notice, BloodRiot has updated his Mandalorian pack. Among other things, he has segmented the rocket on the jetpack so that it can now be made to disappear when 'fired' in a mod like RenegadeOfPhunk's "Movie Battles." I know that you said that you didn't want to add any more new features at this time, but this would be a great addition for Force Mod 3.

Crowy · 05-06-2003, 07:26 AM

wow... i cant wait for this, i aint gunna be stingy and try to get a beta testing palce, theres probably enough there already, cant wait for its release though

Azymn · 05-10-2003, 03:36 AM

Reaper: don't worry about the FX, i whipped up some new ones that look better. But on the jetpack, sooner == better

rut-wa: Got the donation; thank you for gesture.

bliv: Beta 3 is finally shaping up to what i envisioned this mod should be.

SithLordNR1: We've got plenty of testers already, but if you're just dying then pm me your email.

Mace_Windu21: Once a beta tester, always a beta tester.

Padawan_7: Thanks for the suggestion.

Crowy: As far as my testing has shown, you won't have to wait much longer. In less than two weeks, our final beta testers will decide if it's ready for release.

SithLordNR1 · 05-10-2003, 05:32 AM

well then... Dont worry about it.

Azymn · 05-10-2003, 06:59 AM

Sorry SithLordNR1: after re-reading what i wrote, i realized it sounded very cold - as if i'd only let you test it if you were on your deathbed. :S

That should read, "if you're just dying to play it, then pm me..."

Monarky2000 · 05-10-2003, 12:31 PM

so when is the date that your going to email us the files????

SithLordNR1 · 05-10-2003, 03:59 PM

That was actually how I read it! So there is no hard feeling!

robbie mcm · 05-15-2003, 09:36 AM

Hey Azymn, I've been a religious follower since ForceMod 2 beta 1 and it's my favourite mod! I was just wondering if it's possible for me to be on the list for beta 3?

Thanks if you put me on and thanks for the great work even if you don't!

robbie mcm · 05-15-2003, 09:38 AM

Oops... forgot to add my e-mail it's robbie_mcm@hotmail.com

Azymn · 05-16-2003, 03:35 PM

Check your emails.

The final beta has shipped.

The new thread is here:

Thank you all.

Flamehart · 05-17-2003, 01:43 PM

Hey Azymn, I found something rather disturbing, or if it is ok, then tell me. Im on the zone now and the Forcemod 2 Final Beta is being freely distributed at [no site for u! lol] (I'm suppose many know of this site) and I was wondering if this was ok or if its violating the beta.

Azymn · 05-17-2003, 05:54 PM

I'll take care of it.
If you could remove the link to that site, i'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Flamehart · 05-17-2003, 06:12 PM

Alright, I removed the link and I will resume my beta testing normally. I hope they don't give you a hard time.

KaiaSowapit · 06-01-2003, 02:30 AM

Holy flying monkeys! I just tried the latest beta release... F'ING AMAZING!!!

Azymn, you truly outdid yourself! Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic!

Thank you so much!
