Gameplay changes

  • /emote and /anim: single animations by number or name moved to /anim; /emote now plays full emotes.
  • Private duels: saber duels restrict the Force again, as in the base game. Use Force duel instead.
  • Cloak item is back to its original design. Use /admhidden to fully hide yourself instead.
  • Cloak skill now has 2 levels with 2nd level allowing cloaking vehicles (by /vehicle_cloak). Both players and vehicles decloak upon taking damage or attacking.
  • Stun Baton skill now has a 5th level which allows to trigger entities (open doors and trigger other movers).
  • Force powers:
    • rebalanced at levels 4 and 5;
    • the Force pool is capped at 250;
    • the blue Force hint now shows with any weapon out.
  • Downed system: reworked with proper timers, and no Force or items while downed. It can be disabled now if needed.
  • Minigames: Duel Tournament and Melee Battle improved and rebalanced.
  • The three permanent shop upgrades are now saved properly per character. They are tuned down from what they used to be.

Main fixes

  • Accounts and characters: progress now saves reliably on map change, disconnect and character switch. This covers credits, XP, skills, saber setup, settings and ammo.
  • Server stability: fixed crashes and shutdowns from malformed entities, sound spam, running out of entity slots and database lock errors.
  • Cross-client play: players on other clients are no longer kicked ("Bad animation number") by the mod's custom animations.
  • Tons of bugfixes, such as:
    • no more T-pose with no weapon after an ill-timed weapon switch;
    • severed limbs match the size of a scaled player or NPC;
    • vehicle droids roll with their vehicle;
    • melee grapples hit health directly and knock down reliably.

Security

  • SQL injection fixes across the account system.
  • Buffer overflow fixes.
  • Duplicate-username and double-login protection.
