JKrpg - Barons Hed

The AvengerBottom line:
If you play JK, you'll like this mod.
MoonrakerBasically that's what I said, just elaborated a little.
YdonThird Massassi Seal of Approval... :)
blujayWell, I have to comment on what Moonraker said about lag. It is not always buttery smooth. It depends, as always, on many factors. If your computer is slow, your framerate will not be great. Hosting the game puts additional stress on your computer because JKrpg is much more intensive than regular JK with all the new cogs. If the host has a slow connection, like a 28.8kbps modem connection, there WILL be lag, depending on the number of players in the game. I connect at 44kbps and can host about 5 players without too much lag. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.

Don't get me wrong, you have GOT to get JKrpg, it's the best mod ever. :)
MoonrakerWell when I was playing and hosting I didn't experience any lag. My computer isn't a powerhouse either. I've got about the same connection you do. I souly based the review from my experiences. Even if it does have lag it's probably not that much and it's still a big feat for everything they put into the mod.
MahedaEh.. I didn't like it all that much. Very good idea, excellent implementation... but it just wasn't that fun for me.
CygnusXAre you kidding me!? Smooth as butter? This is the laggiest level/mod in the history of JK! However, that doesn't really detract from it all that much. This is the coolest mod in existence, period.
Mongoose 001Tusken's were a bit too powerful IMHO (One of them took two Rails before falling, that's just silly). While I suppose that would help emphasize team play.. but you can do the same thing by just adding more weaker opponents (Like diablo).
JK [Meteor]BTW, does N/A mean perfect score?
JK [Meteor]I mean, does a level getting N/A for architecture mean it was perfect architecture?
MoonrakerThe reason for that is that when reviewing a mod you only get to post the final score. You can't give a mod individual scores. If I had to, I'd give it a 98.
Possebelieve it or not, i have not really enjoyed this mod so far... i can't play in a game with enough people to make it fun (this type of mod requires 8 people or so)

the sewers are too darn complex and the level fails to excite me with 4 players.
JuztynSewers? Complex? Lol... load 'em up in Jed and tell me they're complex. They form a rough upside-down-"d" with a few little branches =D
MSP_DS_^!_2OK where do i start? I think that yall are right about it being successful and all but the JKRPG team needs to come out with a new level cause Barons Hed I've memorized and know it very well and its getting old. And by the way I wish to become a reviewer like my heroes here at Massassi how can i do so?
Rabid ChipmunkI like JK, I like killing helpless civillians, I like wasting money on weapons of mass-destruction, I like stealing other people's money, I like this mod!!!
Rogue LeaderLong live the JKRPG, best MOD in the history of JK.
YO MAMA98? what the hell do you have to do to get a 100?!
OuterRimYunDamn! This level's great! I have played it with 4 players, without lag and it was very very funny!
ubjk_kid24Best mod ever?Are you guys serious?Dont get me wrong it is a good mod its just that its sooo glitchy!The assassin entrance is only enterable once!
Bane_of_GodsThis mod is pure sweetness. I don't get a horrible amount of lag and it's quite entertaining with just two players. 6 is probably the most people you could have in there and still have a cool game. I am always the weapons man (I love the JKRPG staff for making him). He seems the coolest and he has a crossbow, which I've found can be sold for a hefty sum.
NF_SaredIf the JKRPG team can crank out a couple more levels like this and make a good storyline for it, it will truly stand alone as the greatest JK mod ever created.

Also, it is fun to be an assassin and activate all the tuskens, then run through as a guard trying to survive.
Insomniacgreatest mod in the history of the universe and worth 110%
DeadlyPorcupineHow do u install this level
NebulaThanks for the feedback guys. You can grab a developer kit for making your own JKrpg levels, and an update for a few bug fixes at http://www.jedilegacy.net/hov/jkrpg/
FalconI agree with most people about this mod and level being a breakthrough in JK editing. I really look forward to seeing more of Hideki's work like the Enhancment pack series. However, there isn't just a little lag, it's ALOT of lag. I would recomend playing this mod with people around your area ( if you live in Maine, play with others from around that area to reduse lag). In short, I like this mod, but use caution when playing it.
Jak SazzThis IS a good mod. It's not THAT laggy, but then, I haven't met one game that wasn't even slightly laggy (except playing via network). One thing that comes to mind, is that if these guys have gone THIS far, perhaps they should look into seeing how Lucasarts made the game (regular Jedi Knight), and start trying to make a complete new game. I understand how hard that would be, but when you think about far Jedi Knight has been modified for this, you could practicly make this MOD a completely different game (I feel the same way about the Death From Above series).
Dr PothYes it's a great mod, but smooth!!??!!? Ha! It far from it, anything above 2 players is stupidly laggy and to be quite honest playing this mod with only 2 people is a bit pointless and dull. I have a good connection and its still laggy even when I play with people on the same pop as me. Great mod never the less but the lag ruins it.
Rogue LeaderI don't know what kind of connection you guys have that are getting lag. I hosted a game at 40K and I had four people in the level and we didn't have any problems with lag whatsoever.
---ALright, this is a great mod! Everything about it screams ROLEPLAY!!! My only complaint, is that the sniper rifle's bolt should have a faster speed. When a U.S. sniper fires a sniper rifle, the bullet is there! It could be a bit easier to get money from the stores if you are a vender, and there SHOULD BE A THIEF CLASS!!! or let the assassin steal! Just as long as he doesn't get attacked by tuskens! And some sort of melee weapon that is better than a vibro axe would be appreciated!
Darth ScorpioI wish I had thought of it...
Andy:) Great mod. He should make one in daylight, also.
NAJ_FettWhere to start the whole level the role playing every thing was great!

p.s. The maker is a genius!
Mini-me_XDang! That is awesome! The only prob is the lag. But no one can really fix that, unless you wanna spend lot's o $ and all. Good job. ;D
Lmpob---: When a French sniper fires a sniper rifle, does it go as fast as a US on?.. or so only US riles go really fast?

CybPMHmmm ... It's appear that this mod has lot of different advices...

Well , I should say the idea is good, and I've playing with this mod without any lag...

But... I think the place is too big. To really have fun, you should be at last 8 players, else you'll find this game boring...

By the way, I'm sure that if the authors of this mod could make the sourcecode public, it will have a great success...
:p
Roshindo OdinYeah...this is pretty darned cool. And it's a small file, too. All I wish is that there'd be a single player version, for times when annoying family members tie up the phone line.
RGE_NirvanaVery fun mod to play. But I agree with Roshindo that a single player version would be good. But a very cool mod.
CrodineI have realized about this great mod. It is lacking the way of gameplay. It needs permenent characters and stats that people gain up and become stronger. There should also be more characters that have skills such as smuggling like in star wars and othere books and games. They should have skills such as steal and hide, but not high combat, which would also be a skill. there would also be things such as engineering skills that u could make weapons and armor and other things. this material would be supplied at an engineering store that sells cloth and such. there should also be druggs that people can sell to junkies to make money. there should be customs guard that take your weapon and drugs if u dont have them put away. Please email me if u need more helpful ideas
YV_DarthDerekI have just 1 word, SEQUAL!!!
Recallerreally wanted to get the RPG because i´m going to start a JK-rolplay-clan
