Jedi Outcast: Objective-based multiplayer games ('SAGA' gametypes)

Aside from the lack of co-op modes in Outcast, the biggest gripe has been the lack of objective-based team games.

That game mode is actually in the JO code, but was undocumented and unsupported by Raven. As is always the case, some geeks figured it all out.

I've only seen the one map that supports it, but it could be worth investigating;

Anchorhead Saga

A brief message will appear whenever you or a team-mate spawn, listing all the objectives.

3. Get the flight codes from the Skyhopper.

If anyone discovers any other SAGA maps, please post them here. :) Apparently the [link=httphttp://www.aotctc.com/site/index.php] AOTC:TC [/link] will be making its MP maps "SAGA" gametypes.

And if you guys DL and play Anchorhead, let us know what it's like. :)

 

Holy crap! That's awesome!

 

I've played it a few times and it's pretty smooth. You just have to remember which objectives you have to complete.

The map itself is a little different. There are a couple of out-lying rooms to the side of the main chamber. The main chamber features a small town in the bottom with a couple of buildings and nice Tatooine touches like swoop bikes etc. The most interesting thing about the map is that it forces vertical play. One of the objectives is right at the top of the map in the Skyhopper. This makes for some 'different' play. You really need to try it yourself though. The map seems to crash my game with ForceMOD 2.0 beta though


On a quick note. Look out for ForceMOD 2.0 soon. In addition to the things from JediMOD and ForceMOD 1 there are a host of new game features. Including Jedi vs. Merc support with Merc toys. eg. Dual Blasters, Flamethrower, Jetpack, Grappling Hook, Cloaking Device, Ammo Regenerater, Shield Replenisher etc.

 

That game mode is actually in the JO code, but was undocumented and unsupported by Raven. As is always the case, some geeks figured it all out.

It's not that hard to find, considering it's pretty darn similar to the Scenario MP maps in RTCW.

 

No, not hard to find, but reading the link I provided to the thread at jediknightii.net, it looks pretty tricky to impliment, at least while the parameters were still being figured out.
