SWG UI fix

[[furrycat]]

To fix your HAM bars so you can actually read them, download the zip file and extract to your SWG directory, preserving subdirectories from the archive.

Why is Salesman trying to fight you with a fishing pole?

[[Don_T_Shoot]]

It's more phallic that way.







This fix changes the HAM bars back to preCu, and though I find them aesthetically less pleasing than what is in the game now, they are far more functional in that you can actually see the status of your mind bar without having to stare intently and discern the  difference between navy and dark blue.  



Also, to you force users, you can actually see the affect of small changes in your force that was hard to see previously when say activating force run.



I like this 'mod' and though the code change itself is buttsimple, I'm still amazed that Mr. Cat managed to wade through the Zillions of encrypted files to find the ones that needed changing.  Not to mention unencrypting them in the first place!

Seeing the force bar, buffs, and lightsaber make me want to go glowy again.... of course, that urge is offset by the distinct lack of fun involved in becoming a jedi.

[[Don_T_Shoot]]

Amen to that. Crazy-ass-mofo-grinding is involved.  And since the respec system is gone, you can't abuse the hell out of it to scam higher level skill boxes for lower level effort like some people *cough* me *cough* did.

Which explains why Asylum pwns you. Besides... once you're a master jedi... what the hell do you do? Grinding is out of the question, because you no longer need XP... all you can do is wait for BHers to try to kill you, or do the lame quests everywhere. Speaking of lame quests...



You wanna start the hero of Tat quest tonight?

[[Don_T_Shoot]]

No Hero of Tat Cockring quest today.  Going to take the Texa-Wookiee to Kash to get some quest gunz.

[[Don_T_Shoot]]

and Asylum pwns because she's been doing it longer, knows what she is doing, has participated in PvP reguarly and has an ass-kicking PreCU saber with 600 minimum damage.  Mine isn't even 600 Maximum FFS!

Better not slice his suppressor better than mine!!! I'll be mighty pissed, y'hear? Oh well. I guess I'll have to grind some more Inv XP so I can grab more tapes and afford to buy LB's non-decay kit, LoL.

Asylum may have pre-CU pearls but she has a post-CU sabre.  She unlocked in the first week of CU (furry'cat was on the Mellichae team).



Very good player.  Most fun duel I ever had.  Pre-CU unarmoured, unbuffed; Fencer vs TKM.  Good fight.  She knows her stuff.

Crap.... I got all excited about becoming a jedi. I think my mission for tonight is to get glowy.

I think that, before I spend all the time grinding FS combat/reflexes, as well as all the time w/ the stupid village phases, I'm going to spend some time killing a bunch of jedi padawans, and then see if I still yearn for lightsaber of doom.



Master Defender I think is part of the temp I'll go for.

[[Don_T_Shoot]]

Unless some things change fast or they decide against them, the only person a saber spells doom for is going to be the toon wielding it.



We'll see.  I came to terms with the Jedi toon being merely decent instead of uber like he should be, but there's a chance he may be once again sliding towards being stylish yet nearly completely useless.



Vee shall see.  



Guns still own everything that moves in game, don't believe the glowy hype.  Some guns coming out in the expansion are fucking retardedly powerful.



Anyone who wants a proper E-Penis in that game needs to being using a  Rifle, Carbine or possibly a pistol if they are modest.

Screw that. I have my suppressor ftw (thanks Don), and I'm pwning people in grinding groups for damage.
