Server saber damage upped. -DJ Sith - Jul 14 05:24am

I've set g_saberdamagescale 2 on my server. This should double the damage done by your lightsabers. My experience is this makes for some VERY interesting duels. Let me know your thoughts on this please.

there actually is some command that allows you to set blocking to a button. I'm almost certain, in sp anyways. I think its listed somewhere in the readme for the ladder single player map that you can download. I think it also mentions that it is rather difficult to block this way though and much less accurate.

I've had Ghoul2 collision detection & saber tracing enabled on the server for some time now. It causes you to block alot. I agree with most of ya. Since this is an academy server & is for learning we shouldn't have ti so powerful. Unless there are a flood of strong objections I'll be setting the damage scale back to 1 tonight.

Well I think that there should be one server with this so we could arrange real "tournements" that last all day. It would be realistic and very much like the movies with that server. There you can show what you have learnt. In the learning servers disable it for more trainingpleasure.

Is there a way to increase blocking frequency? This would make more sense to add alongside more damage. It'd make the duels more like the ones in the movies. This way, duels wont be like jousting where they run towards each other, swing madly and then roll/jump/kick away. It'd also stop people from just running around each other in circles, throwing little hits in. I really wish saber combat was designed differently. There shouldve been an attack button and a parry button so the blocking of attacks would be in your control. It'd make duels so much cooler and a lot more skill-involved. Maybe someone will make a mod that does this. That'd be great...

That will explain when i killed someone in one swipe.

Err that is not a good thing imo since this place is teaching us how to survive the real world.

I don't think its that good of an idea. It might have been with the 1.03 patch but saber damage has already been increased with 1.04 and fighting with it turned up doesn't really give you a good indication of how much damage you'd do on a regular server

its fine as long as the academy server isn't being used for teaching - i would say dieing in seconds while trying to learn to use light stance effectivley is really a good plan

I think this is a bad idea because this place is a jedi academy, by that I mean we learn playing skills that we can use on other game servers. It really does us no good to learn how to play under conditions that are different from those of normal servers.
