Hi. Speaking as a huge starwars fan, i don't think a saber should be able to
block all weapons. technical a jedi tends to use the force to throw stuff
away from them and only uses the saber to bounce back energy blasts like the
blaster or the thunderbolt. sorry if this is too geeky, but it just strikes
me that using the saber to block evrything to the point of not getting hit
by rockets and misiles makes it fairly hard to actually kill some one with a
saber in motion so that you have to attack them directly with a saber. Have
you considered implimenting some force powers, perhaps a force shield, a
saber throw or a force lightning? i'd be very happy to provide the sounds.
Other than that though a great mod, where did ya get the sounds from out of
interest, the phantom menace for pc?
Cheers
Edd.

Subject: Re: [AGRIP-discuss] Light Saber Mod
Agreed, right now there is only one bug which only happens when one
types reconnect in the console, which I will be working on in the next day
or so, and aside from that it works fine. I've taken care of everything
else. There is however, one thing I'd love feedback on, from those who
have tried it, and just in general from anyone, and that is the way I have
the saber working as a shield. At present, I have the takedamage field
being changed when the saber is swung, so it doesn't matter which
direction one is facing, an attack will be blocked as the saber is swung,
and then the field will be reset back to normal. I've since thought of a
fairly simple way that the protection one gets from the saber could be
made directional, I.E. only in front of the player, which would make sense
in regard to where the saber is being held and swung.
I'm curious what people think is appropriate. The reason I haven't
changed it already, is that I kind of think it balances out the weapon, in
that one really needs to get very close to an enemy and the bit of extra
protection that's given this way, is to me at least, right in line with
the films, as the Jedi were pretty difficult adversaries which was the
point. And this makes it in a way more interesting in that it might be
more appropriate to engage someone with a light saber, with a light saber,
rather than another weapon. Does this make sense?
Anyway, I'd love feedback on this so I can code it if necessary.
Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!...
Smiles,
GG

My personal view would be get the bugs fixed so that you've got some
thing even more solid to build new features on -- I really am looking
forward to tyring this as soon as I can get the new ZQuake engine
working AGRIP-style again... :-).
bye just now,
