Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
Actually, I believe you can, Chewie. All you need to do is get the "server.cfg" file via ftp, edit it and then ftp it bak up to the area JediServers has designated. 56K should suffice. At least for the most important things, like voting so we can change gametype, kick chat fraggers, etc. Other people might want to chime in on what they think is important to edit in that file, i.e. how they would like some of the game parameters. (For instance, I'd like to have the option of turning guns off game-by-game, but I only know how to do that globally and not on a game-by-game basis
.)

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
hey, um, one quick request, if i may?
i just tried joining the server, and it said "Low Pings Only." i've never had much ping trouble, even on my 56k, and i was wondering if it was possible to change it so that higher pings could join.
thanks! 
All about the nipples.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
Yeah, I always get that. Just try again, and it'll let you on. At least, that always works for me. In other words, press escape to get out of the loading screen, hit Play again, Join server, and double click on [MA] Server again to join. Should work-- I hope.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
Chewie: Yeah, I watch out for those trees, they tend to wanna jump out at odd times. I think they're jealous 'cause they can't move like we do.
Anyway, hope everybody's un-damaged.
Earendil: I have some of those maps & skins, although I'd like to keep the ones other people are playing with also. Maybe we can arrange an FTP transfer and possibly a place for the others to DL them also. Anybody got some .Mac space to spare?
bird & benwards: I get that too even on cable sometimes. The easier way to get back in is ESC, then drop the console with the ~ key and type /reconnect. It should work after a few tries usually.
I'm outta town at fam's until late Mon or Tues so I'll be off the server until then. Agh, JKII withdrawl setting in!!
See ya guys later~

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
About that low ping only thing. Why does the game have it if it is so easy to circumvent?
Anyhoo, I hope to try out the server today or tomorrow.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
w00t! i got on the server!!!
i wasnt sure what my problem was, so i took all my extras out of my base folder, and i was able to get on, so apparently it was someting from there.
so i hopped on the server, and i was messing around, and i made it lightsaber only, ill see what i can do later about the force powers later. there wernt any bots when i got in there, and so i added two (although i was just messing around to make sure it worked, and so i eded up adding one with a level of 3 (out of 5) and one with a strength of 1, so ill have to fix that when i get home
. i restarted the map a couple times, and the bots stuck around, so that was good. when i let the map change by the time running out, it changed maps on its own, although i didnt get a chace to see how much you can do with that, but i gotta run to work now or ill be late
, so ill see what i can do about messing around with it tonight.
just to save me the time from having to look though, does anyone know off the top of their head what the command is to remove a bot, or to enable select force powers?

I don't know about the bots, but the command for force powers is, I think "g_forcepowerDisable xxxxx", where xxxxx is a number between 0 and 32767. Everything is on when it's 0 and everything's disabled when it's 32767.
JediServers actually has a handy calulator for "xxxxx" located at http://www.jediservers.com/help_articles_force.asp
Hope this helps.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
I was just on the server, and some force powers were disabled, so someone must have been tweaking it a bit.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED

i was thinking maybe just jump for now, and the lightsaber ones...

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
What I like best about JKII, are the things that make the game unique: lightsabers and force powers. I'd vote for full force powers. If you want to limit their use on you, you can always use the Absorb power.
Although, for duels, I like just having Jump and the three Saber powers on.
If a server turns off the Force, and allows guns, to me, that's just like playing any number of multiplayer FPS's out there.
If you dont like getting pushed off (I feel ya, on that ns_streets map I'm constantly dying by dropping off a ledge into nothingness), you can always minimize it by Absorb, or by having a Force reserve to auto-Push back, or by not jumping and thus allowing someone to Push you (always a problem for me, a guy who likes the Jump power waaaaay too much sometimes), or the like. To me, that's part of the strategy of the game.
I'd sure like to see what others think, though.
(Most importantly, I think we need to turn voting on, so that we can change the gametype (to Duel, CTF, etc) sometimes.)

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
I think we should rotate what powers and weapons are on or off. That way we can push our skills.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
The only force power I find irritating enough to want turned off is lightning.

The only way he can kill me in a duel is with lighting... but even then I still kick his ass more than half the time... must be my mad sabering skillz

Indeed. Lighting is a bit excessive. I only use lightning these days when others use lighting...a lot and I only use it to finish people off.
So, who was in charge of putting the bots on? Kyle was an idiot. He killed himself 5 times when I was on. Although he was a persistent little bugger. Jan was a little more intelligent...she ran away a lot...but she killed herself 3 times. What level where they on?

sorry abut that
i wasnt sure weither 5 was the higest strength, or the lowest, so i did kyle first, and he was a 3, then i did jan, and she was a 1, so either she is as good as it gets, or kyle was just being stupid or something.
i was getting a TON of packet errors when i logged on the last time (around 7 30 ish, to put the force powers back on) and i was having problems with lagging out, i cant remmeber the exact error message, but i saw it on like, all 3 times i logged in today, so i guess it was going laggy on me, but when i would check my ping, (which would be like, when i joined
) it would be 170 or so (ok, so maybe i only remember checking it once today
), but im tired. i finally got on the server, so im happy
.
why dont someone start a new thread for what we have as options on the server, as far as the rcon stuff goes, and another thread for the maps/mods/etc (i know ear has taken care of part of that, but i dont want to have to search through this thread when its like, 300 posts long for everything
)

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
Hey I kinda liked the server with sabers only last night. Well mostly cause ppl that came on couldnt resort to rocket hoing. Get tired of being chased by rockets when I want to hack n slash.
Only complaint was the lag on the server. None before the changes but a ton after the changes.
I too want the voting on cause I get tired of doing DM all the time.

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
Agreed on the rocket whoring.
Went to the server this afternoon, Chewie was just finishing up some tweaking, and I must say, it's coming along quite nicely. Voting's on, so map changes and gametypes can be changed. Bots fill up the minimum players, then are kicked when we have enough humans. It's glorious!
Of course, there are always the people who make it less fun: while Chewie and I were on, there was a guy who made a point to say "white power" after a kill. Nice
That's online gaming for you, though, I guess.
Does anyone how to get the guns back on for a game here and there? (Dammit bird, ya wanted guns off, now you're asking how to put 'em back on!)
Anyway, a hearty "good job" to the admins, and when are we gonna schedule our first fragfest?

Re: SERVER HAS BEEN ORDERED
so yeah, im on the server changing the prefs, and some guy named frosty/domer comes on, and i give him a friendly heads up that im going to be changing the prefs (if it was someone from the clan i would have asked if they wanted the changes, and then just let the map restart on its own later, like i did yesterday, but i didnt feel like asking some non MA person their opinion on how our server goes), and restarting the map a couple times, and he says "nien" (
), so i go about making the changes, like so that there will be a MIN number of bots, instead of just the two from yesterday, and i enabled voting, and messed with the force powers, and so i restart the map so i can check everything out, and make sure it works. then i use the map voting to see how that works, and i changed to a random map, and the dude starts trying to vote me out of there. i was trying to be nice about it, but then bird came on, and asked about him, so i guess hes just one of those jerks that comes with being listed public. but i still think NCs idea of advertising is cool, but were going to have to put up with that if we want to expand a little.
anyways, yeah, voting us up for now, and there are random (server generated, not chewie generated
) bots. go have fun now, and dont abuse voting power
