only a couple of things to adress;
1. AI like to run into the corner in the small spiral ramp thing.
2. Spar was killed WAY too easily, he needs to be more powerful.
3. Get rid of some of the flamethrowers. Not all Mando's used them.
Other than that it was amazing!
Great!
1. Still? Really? I thought I had fixed that, darn...
2. Yeah--I noticed that too. Spar and Bacara need more health
3. Well, I was basically just using the flamethrowers as an alternative to the pistol. I think I'll leave them in cause I want them to be different from the clones.
Glad you liked it!

Flamethrowers are memory hogs, which is another reason to take them out. Not having 20 people using them at once will free up effects memory for other cool stuff.

So, what should the Mandos' backup firearm (that isn't a pistol, since Authraw wants them to be different) ? Hmm, the only thing I could think of is a most effective close combat weapon (vibroblade), but I dunno whether it possible to have both firearms and close combat weapons on a single character without crashing a lot.

It's possible, lots of people have done it, and I don't see any reason why it would crash more.

So that's no problem? I didn't really know, but I could stick to the great rule of modding: The cooler something it, the more likely it will crash.^^

Especially true in this engine, I know.
But no, people have done it a lot, for instance the wookies in ROTE 4.

That's true... sortof.
1-People always make 15 changes and then get a crash. Make one change, test... repeat
2-Usually crashes are something small for me. Just something I forget to do and three days later I figure it out. I then precede to smack myself on the forehead.

Yeah--I've found that it isn't too hard to get stuff working without crashing--as long as you only make small changes and test often.
In any case, I could take out some of the flamethrowers if they really are memory eaters, but I'm not sure I want to add in the vibroblade as the secondary weapon--it's a little too strong to give to every unit. Any other ideas?
I haven't really encountered any lag or crashing with the flamethrowers--are they really a problem? Has anyone else had problems with them?

Vibro knife?

In especially hectic battles, flamethrowers tend to disappear, because they take so much memory compared to other weapons.
You could give the mandos a stun gun, maybe a weak continuous lightning.

Is the flamethrower the same thing the boba nad jango have? i hate how when you press the fire onec and it fires the hole clip.
and maybe for the secondary weapon you could give them a high rate of fire, badly accurate wrist blaster

Vibro knife?
Did somebody release a vibroknife? I'd love to try that if it's out there.

I don't think so, since the animation for stabbing is not in SWBFII

Hmm... well, that's a really good idea, but I haven't really started trying to model stuff, so I don't see a vibro knife happening any time soon (unless somebody else releases one!) I think I'm going to leave in the flamethrowers and see what people say about them when I release the public beta (in a couple of weeks, I hope!)
Speaking of betas, where are the rest of my beta testers?
EDIT: I have just fixed every single missing weapon/droideka sound. I have no idea what I was doing wrong before, but I just started it all over and I managed to get them working. Woohoo!
