Mod Upgrade : JK2 - Promod 3.1

[Bazerka]

Hi all,

Promod will be upgraded to v3.1 on the JK2 BarryBookables and all BarryServers at 6am this morning (2003-03-11).

This mod requires a client download ( promod3.1.zip ) which is approximately 800KB.

Changes :

• The Style Trumping system is reversed. Red will trump Yellow, Yellow will trump Blue, Blue will trump Red. This is because you have to spend more points to buy access to the stronger Stances. If I spend the points on Level 3 saber offense, then I should be able to use my most expensive style to trump someone else's most expensive style who only bothered to buy level 2 saber offense. The trump bonuses themselves will remain the same. (+5/-5) This just makes more sense, and will get people to use all three stances more often rather than just sticking with the nearly-all-purpose Yellow stance.
• Blue stance damage has been raised to 35 points.
• The Wookie Bowcaster has its shot velocity increased by 25% for level 2 proficiency, 50% for level 3 proficiency, and 75% for level 4 proficiency. Rate of fire timing, damage, and charging rate remain as they were.
• Jetpack will now refuel on respawn.
• Gamedirectory is correctly reported in ASE, qtracker, and other server browsers.
• In a Saber-only game, players will not recieve free Force Fields or Seeker Drones.
• Force Lightning will have extended range, and will destroy explosives (Golan balls, Rockets, thermals, Repeater alt-fire) in midair.
• All bots will be modified to remain in character with the Promod rules. i.e.: Bespin Cop will never use force powers or a saber; Desann will never use a gun or gadgets.
• CTF flag-status icons have been moved up slightly to not conflict with the CSC bonus meters.
• Jetpackers can no longer use their jetpack while they are in the fall-down animation.
• Many other minor changes.

Regards,

Jase.
