JO Tips: 1st person saber combat -DJ Sith- Oct 04 05:53pm -4 comments-

Zip and Datheus bring us this little gem if you'd like to play JO online sabers in the 1st person:
There's a cvar called cg_fpls. Setting it to 1 will enable 1st person saber combat. Setting it to 0 will set you to the default 3rd person combat. It may help to bind a key to toggle this.. eg:
bind x toggle cg_fpls
Thanks for the tip!

Ranking clarification... -doobie- Oct 01 12:17am -0 comments-

Some people have been a bit confused about the new rankings, and I admit I got a little wordy as I wrote the FAQ, so here's a short and sweet clarification (thanks DJ!):
To be a Learner petiton the nearest 2 JATs to trial you (just not yet, the procedures aren't in place).
To be a Journeyman you'll need to (assuming you're a learner) fill out an application which we review.
To be a Knight the JATs will have to recommend ya.

Jedi Council Map update again -doobie- Sep 30 10:33am -5 comments-

Just a quick note... we're no longer going to be using the Jedi Council map, at least not until we get a version that actually works. That is all.

Rankings updated!!! -doobie- Sep 29 11:15pm -8 comments-

Hell has finally frozen over, and the Council has finally gotten around to updating the rankings. That's right, there's a whole slew of new ranks out there for you to look forward to. Interested? Click Here to read them. All students are initiates by default.
Now, before things get out of control, let me clarify something you might not understand from the FAQ... do not request trials (unless the description specifically says so). That is the worst way to get promoted. Promotions are meant for members we see who deserve it, not for people who ask the most. Please don't flood the JATs and JACs with trial requests. Also, the exact questions and trial proceedings haven't been finalized by the Council yet, so there won't be any promotions for a few days until we can get that stuff done.

Server Conduct -doobie- Sep 29 11:43am -5 comments-

Ladies and gentleman things are getting out of control. Conduct on the servers lately has been atrocious and unnecessary. The Council and I have been receiving FAR too many complaints of people breaking the rules on the servers. I've already lowered the warning limit to two a few weeks ago, and I'd rather not lower it to 1 (aka insta-ban). From now on I expect and demand everyone to follow the rules. If this doesn't occur, I am fully authorizing those JATs with admin access to temporarily ban rulebreakers (after attempting to defuse the situation without a ban) until the situation can be discussed with me, DJ, or Daina. Hopefully this threat, and yes it is a threat, will be enough to get EVERYONE (including trainers) to follow all of the rules and respect everyone else on the server. Because to be honest, the only other alternative I have is to temporarily shut down the Academy's servers, which is something I definitely do not want to do.
UPDATE - One thing I forgot to mention is this: If you feel someone has been breaking the rules, first try and find a JAT on the servers or on IRC, so they can help deal with the situation. Since there are obviously more of them than there are Council members (and they're generally online more often), they're your best bet if you want something immediately done. Although the Council members may idle in IRC, a lot of the time we're not there, so try and talk to a JAT first.

Emp Lightning's departure -doobie- Sep 28 01:37am -0 comments-

|
|
Emperor Lightning, one of our original server hosts, has turned off the lights in his server and made his exit. He departs, amongst other reasons, to concentrate on school, but leaves everyone with this note: "People need to concentrate on school more, it is vital. Instead of JAing all the time, make sure you concentrate on your schooling... even DJ is busy with it!"
