View Full Version : I see there is testing going on...
Well I just went into Academy and one of the Movie Battles servers was locked. I clicked server info and it said Movie Battles II Beta 16a
I see theres a new build on the way, can't wait till it comes out! :)
Cheers,
John
Sounds exciting - I was in the MB server today and it had to "close" must of have been something to do with BETA testing :D

IMO your signature is too big and bright.
There has always been one wireplay server locked for testing.
i want to know the password to join the server ;(
You'll need the files too. :p

Aren't we all jelous Xero? :D
Yeah, we're working, we're working... ;) If the other server is full (like it is most of the time) be sure to check out the new Wireplay server adress on our main page. :)

Yes I do, but the other official Movie Battles one is better, becuase it allows mods to be used, whereas the Wireplay one doesn't. I usually wait for a space in the official one(s), the ping is lower there too.
Dingo Dave, the one that is locked is the official Movie Battles one, ending in 29075. The only Wireplay one I've seen is not locked. :eek:
John
yeah, i'm a bit jalous too, I love testing things. :confused:

Heh I got to meet Dacks for the first time testing the new beta. We had a few fun duels. :p
I look forward to *whatever is happening* :p
Ping on wireplay should get better soon, as the network and the routers settle down and finish rerouting stuff... Wireplay just physicaly moved to another location, so there can be a load of extra hops that will be chopped out soon.
Will the Jabba be bigger now?

To be honest, I doubt that Jabba will be made bigger because as far as i understand they intentionally made him smaller in the current build - he gets stuck in the doors otherwise.
feel free to correct me if i'm wrong ;)

Making Jabba bigger at some point is something I'd like to do, but as Cerberus points out, it's a real pain and quite a bit of effort - for something which at the end of the day is only visual.
Jabba is a model made by Duncan, meant to be a normal player model. It was never meant to be a 'proper' Jabba.
...the fact is I'm MUCH more concerned with gameplay issues at the moment. Making Jabba bigger - asaik - is 'clean-up' stuff which can be done anytime...
So to answer your question, no. Jabba is not getting bigger in the next build...
I can always make an NPC Jabba with a custom skeleton?

Well, I didn't wanna ask K - cos you were so busy as it is. How much work would it be for you? Would you also need to contruct new movement anims?
I mean - if you wanna do it Keshire, I'd be delighted, as I'm sure a lot of players would be..
...the only other thing then would be re-thinking and re-designing the Jabba map layout...

Are you going to somehow stop the Jabba kicking? One suggestion i have is to give him 2 Gamorean NPC grunts that attack anyone who attacks him.
Its not a problem. I'll just classify him as a wampa with all the anim that go with it.
*edit*
I'll even throw in a nice belly laugh taunt. When's the next release estimated? days, weeks, months? I can do days if needed.

...we were aiming for this weekend.
And Dingo Dave, were gonna be dealing with the 'beat-up-Jabba' tactic in the next build...
If we had a jabba as big as in rotj he'd need some sort of big golf kart to move...

lol that would be fun
Dev's i wonder , will u guys put Gamorean (soldier) skins in the final built ?
They don't seem very soldierish with those halberds or whatever... maybe that could be the other place for a soldier to drop points... halberd/force pike/whatever.
Jedi class then where the halberd is in place of the saber ( and the points they could dispose on the halberd attack/def and maybe like the wookie on health and strenght?)

Sorry but that's very unlikely - the Gamoreans (sp.) don't pose enough stuff to qualify it as a class. We've only seen them with that lance and that's about it. Neitehr as soldiers or any of the other classes, as they have more than what the Gamoreans pose to have.
I looked at sw.com and it's a "vibroax" (wouldn't that be a vibroaxe?), lando uses one while trying to rescue han from jabba.
