V1.7 Update


Gameplay:

  • Feature: Added a Delete Template button. Note: This currently only works on configurations that use JAMP's default folders for force configs, or MBII Openjk started via launcher. OpenJK configs without redirected homepath will not work.
  • New: Added ability to rotate model in point select screen and main menu by clicking and dragging.
  • New: UI Backend FA specific stats Cvars
    • ui_class_health - Health

    • ui_class_cs - Chain Speed
    • ui_class_as - Attack Speed
  • New / Change: Open Mode Class Select Menu (Preview)
    • The Open Mode menu has been updated and now contains 5 main sections.
      • The first section at the top contains the team select buttons.
      • The second section in the middle left contains class select buttons, shows class limits if applicable, and the default/custom model list. This section will also show hilt lists and saber type selection after selecting the hilt button as a Jedi or Sith.
      • The middle section contains all of your points.
      • The right section is split up between various tabs. The first tab you will see when first opening is the model tab, which contains the 3D model viewer, your RGB customization sliders, and health/ammo statistics. The second tab that you can click on contains your build templates. This tab will open by default when clicking your class configuration hotkey. The third tab is only available to Jedi and Sith, and will activate the hilt related menus: Hilt Type Select, Hilt Lists, Saber Color, Authentic Saber Button.
    • Multiple class point menus have been adjusted to show sub abilities or weapon attachments.
    • Ability Info hover icons have been added to every class. When hovering over these icons you can see an info panel pop up on the right. These panels will have videos on that top showing roughly how something works. Below that you will see additional stats and information. However, this is in a barebones state currently. Many abilities do not have info panels, some do not have stats or additional info, and some have incomplete stats (as denoted by x's). We will be continuously filling these out more over upcoming releases but felt it wasn't right to hold even some additional info back from players.
    • Saber style indicator has been updated.
  • New / Change: Duel Mode Class Select Menu
    • Duel menu has been updated similarly to the open mode menu. However, you no longer have to select a class after selecting a team. Selecting a team will automatically select the Jedi or Sith class.

      • The left pane selects classes and has updated visuals for the stacked class indicator as well as the limit indicator.

      • The right pane contains additional stats/buffs/debuffs for the selected character.
  • Change: Alpha UI has been updated to UI_Preset 2. If you already use Alpha UI it should automatically update you, but if you are updating any UI modifications based on the Alpha UI, you must also update your UI Preset value to 2. If you have any issues, reload the Alpha UI in the settings.
  • Change: Added UI_Class cvar for allowing dynamic menus based on class selected in the UI. Values correspond to order of server class limits configuration (Villain Soldier is 1, Jedi is 6, Droideka 11, etc.).
  • Change: Max loaded .menu files has been increased from 64 to 128.
  • Fix: Alpha UI Vertical Slider RGB Variant has had its shader fixed and should no longer be missing.

Notes for Server Owners

Game Stats for Server Owners

The new Game Stats functionality requires use of a third party library - in this case we are using libcurl to perform the network functionality. If you are a Windows server owner or a player self hosting on Windows then the required library will be provided by launcher in the flavor of libcurl.dll. For Linux server owners (and anyone self hosting on linux via OpenJK) you will need to install the i386 version of curl in order to start a game.

For Recent Ubuntu/Debian systems:
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl:i386

For Older Ubuntu (At least 16.04 and Prior)/Debian
Code:

Cvar Changes for Server Owners:
Due to the MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS error, we have had to rework several server info variables to stay under the limit.
Please update your server configs this patch and take particular note of the following variables:
  • Remove: Removed g_HideHUDFromSpecs, g_noSpecMove, g_FullSpecTalkToPlayers and g_spectateTeamOnly.
  • New: Implemented g_competitive with the following bitwise values, add the values together for the ones you want enabled:
    Code:
    1 "Hide HUD From Specs"
    2 "No Spec Move"
    4 "Disallow spectators to talk to Clients"
    8 "Spectate Friendly Team Only"
    16 "Hide Enemy Team Class Icons On Scoreboard"
    32 "No Friendly Player Indicators"
  • Change: Renamed several TK variables:
    Code:
    g_TKPointsSpecCount -> TK_Spec
    g_TKPointsKickCount -> TK_Kick
    g_TKPointsRemovedPerRound -> TK_RemovedPerRound
    g_TKPointsForgiveAfterRounds -> TK_ForgiveAfterRounds
    g_TKPointsMinorFriendly -> TK_MinorFriendly

Very good update.

The minor critiques on first try : new character select screen and the game freezing load time of selecting a new model is a little jarring, and the SBD animation is a bit "bobby" when its walking.

Cool patch, but did we really have to remove dash bug :(

Regarding dueling: can we please bring back the absolute lethality of the Red/Purple crouching backswing? As it stands now, using the move against a competent player is absolute suicide: the stagger animation wears off before the swing animation is concluded, which means that, even if you are successful in hitting them with it, they have yet another opening in which to get you.

I would suggest increasing the stagger duration ever so slightly so that it coincides with when the backswing animation ends.

My main feels about the UI. More unnecessary steps to view things that you could view before, thus taking more leaps through loops and more time to get into the game, when sometimes you have to hurry to select something fast to make it in before the round starts. Before it took 2-3 seconds at most when fully muscle memorized everything, right now it takes 3x as much without muscle memorizing it. In my opinion seeing your template and perhaps model should be by default viewable and selectable when you open the class config, extra buttons are unnecessary to get there.

UI class menu selection is a total mess. I have to put my points manually each time to be sure they take effect as clicking the pre-defined build don't work very often. Why change something that required no change at all? Unreal you finally got deka bug sorted though, good job there. I also feel as if my fps improved slighty.

List of things I don't like:
- Third Clone skin on seventh row has wrong icon. Icon lacks colored lines on the side of the helmet.
- Bring back old RGB Commander Cody clone.
- E_2 battle Padme icon looks weird compared to other hero icons. Slave Leia icon looks meh due to angle shot was taken.
- Player names above the head need opacity slider and ability to change their size. Other icons probably need that too. Haven't tested them.
- Sucks that old SBD models are no more.
- New Clone/ARC pistols look ugly. Only dual ARC pistols with round barrels look okay but I still prefer old pistols. Skin specific DC-17 look hilarious. They look so tiny in ARC's hands. PLX-1 launchers are ugly. Not sure if I remember old EE-3 correctly but current looks uglier. Other weapon models look good.
- Second sister's cape looks awful. It is too wide at her legs. Cape should be more straight and fix arms clipping through the cape. Also short cape and capeless variant would be nice.
- Ewoks and rats are still in Legends mode. R2D2 still a timewaster's dream.
- Not a fan of new class menu. Character model tab takes a while in Duel mode to scroll when I have 50+ models. Previously it was quicker. Menu looks more cluttered. I liked it more when there was a difference in size of model tab depending on a mode you were in. Previously in Duel mode model screen took half of the screen and now it takes 1/5. What is nice is that I can see 8 more skins in Open. Also, I dislike that icons are smaller now.
- Loadout option info box should require pressing LMB click to activate it. Without that it becomes annoying when moving mouse to model box and you have info box briefly showing up.
- Deka models look weird with shield enabled in model box in new menu. Half of shield is cut off.
- Please bring back number to hilt color slider. Kinda hard to know if I am on color I want or not. For example previously 0.16 was yellow and I used 0.13 frequently. Now I'm not sure if I'm using correct color. Also, without number I don't know how much I'm adjusting hilt color.
- Hilt's blade extends onto builds/model/hilts buttons. It should end slightly before buttons.
- After I press on another class and my class has reached its limit I can't select my class back. Pressing class configuration button brings me back to a class I pressed on and I still cannot select my current class because of red lock blocking me from doing that. Selecting my class through ESC>Join allows me to fix that.
- Why are custom and default loadouts not deletable? I want to use my loadout not the topmost (Custom). Because of that I have to change to my loadout everytime I join.
- Dislike new Deathstar. Hate flipped hangar. It looks as if the hangar is tiny thanks to the wall where previously was a window. New elevator in Falcon hangar should be removed. Second elevator is now situational because first one is safer. Also, new elevator seems to attract timewasters. Please remove ladder to Falcon. Lift is good though. Great that you removed detention cells. No more timewasters there.

This Update is neat, I love the fact that you guys added skins from the 2003 Clone Wars. Nice to see Legends/EU getting some love, also Death Star isn't boring, yay!

My 2 cents.

Dekka deployment fixes, hallelujah.

Not a fan of the new UI. I don't like having everything on the one page (at the moment). It might just be the current bugs and little things that need fixing to make it optimal.
I liked having my little class configuration hotkey, just to tweak my current class build whenever i felt like it, and having to click escape and go through the rest if i wanted to change classes/sides etc.

I really like the fact that a lot of models are being added, i enjoy the variety. Thank you to all the content creators for their work.
Though there are some models i think are questionable like Sith Rey and some of the new SBD models. I can always just replace the model with something else on my client side.

Personal opinion, i don't like the ARC dual pistols changed to these small ones. I'm not a huge lore person but i think they are what Captain Rex uses? I just prefer the old ones, i'd like to see some models use the old ones and maybe his model just use them.
I also do not like the new PLX. I really prefer the old white model and it's little blue see-through screen. The new one just has a plain green cross hair on it.
Again, these are just personal preferences (I can change these through model replacements client side if i want)

Death Star changes i like a lot, opens up the map a lot and allows rebels to push without being choked.
I don't like the tie-fighter hangar flip, it wigged me out so hard walking through it the first time making me question myself and reality that it was this way in the first place.
I personally don't like adding the bars in the roof to stop Jedi/Sith super jumps. However i agree with what you're doing with them, because they are things that are abused that shouldn't be. I remember the same thing was done to Left and Right corridors on classic DOTF to stop Jedi/Sith from jumping all the way up the corridors. These things i'm sad about being fixed, but also okay with.

Everything I've thought about and witnessed so far. Overall, great content patch. Cheers everyone.

Mace and Spaghetti with the helpful responses as always. We have a video but no you can't see it. Only people at risk of getting harassed are these socially inept dev team members.

If you count actual clicks it's actually the same as before at worst. One fewer if you don't need to pick a custom template and just use your default. As for muscle memory, not sure what we can do about that. Give it some time and you will develop new muscle memory. It hasn't even been 24 hours since release.

Nice demonstration of what I was talking about.
