Some issues I'm having Thread - Evolution of Combat IV mod for Star Wars: Jedi Academy

Okay, so I've been playing this for a bit and it's really cool, but there's a few problems I seem to be having with it.

1. Maybe there's one already there that I'm completely missing, but since there's so many changes like additional saber styles, new combos, and all sorts of things, a tutorial explaining the new mechanics and how to play with them would be great.

2. Despite allowing it through my firewall, the server list is currently appearing completely empty no matter what settings I use. This even happens when I'm hosting my own server; it doesn't show up in local or internet. To connect, I have to use the in-game console.

3. Bots taunt way too much.

4. Sound effects in the game, for example in the singleplayer menu when you're selecting characters, happen too often. The way a quote from the movies is said whenever I happen to graze my cursor over a character's icon is audio overload.

5. The sound effect that plays whenever a person's body disintegrates sounds like the game crashing (sounds like the saber effect but glitched)

6. There's some widescreen resolutions, but no support for 1920x1080.

7. Force lightning is, in my opinion, a bit overpowered. So a bot uses it on me, and instantly I go down and am stuck on the ground for five seconds? It's a bit cheap.

8. A way to host servers other than a .bat file that has to be configured would be convenient, but I understand if you can't add this.

9. Maybe an additional button for feinting? Clicking and having it automatically do a feint is confusing. I know I'm supposed to hold the mouse button down to attack, but that's not totally intuitive. Instead it could be like Chivalry where you click to attack and there's a separate button to cancel the attack/feint.

Just some thoughts. Otherwise, great work.

It should also be mentioned that the singleplayer menu is extremely cluttered and half the time I don't know what I'm looking at. There's text everywhere, and at one point I loaded a mission just by trying to get into my options.

+1 for awful sound effects in the menus.

+1 for 1920 x 1080, how this was overlooked is beyond me.

+1 that the SP menu is a mess.

Not to mention the fact that I did Jedi Outcast and you hear two stormtroopers talking, then I walk up and it's a stormtrooper and a battle-droid. Then I go around the corner and I'm already fighting reborns. Kind of ridiculous. It's like Mon Mothma just showed you the transmission about the reborns, and then BAM! Reborn right off the bat. I love the combat in this mod, but I'm not digging the menus, lack of the most common widescreen resolution out there, and various changes to the singleplayer campaigns. Also, the way the video was playing in the background of the title crawl--like the menus, it's way too much happening on-screen at the same time.

We gotta remember that most of their work has been directed to create the new sabersystem. I think this is a great product. What is going wrong here is how they offer it to the people.

Same, I LOVE the new system but not really any of the changes to the way single player campaign works/is. Like random space backgrounds having ships from the old republic era out there? Like... What? If I could only get the multiplayer to turn on. I WAN IT

Reshki, what issues are you having with multiplayer?

I was playing today and suddenly, mp stopped working. When I tried to connect again to the server, the game stopped working every time I tried. Kinda strange.
