The goal is to be able to play FF with no restrictions.
What's been changed so far:
- Force drain gives you health like usual, but takes no force from the opponent. Advantage over heal: Can manage how much force to use if not much health needed. Disadvantage to heal: Needs an opponent for getting health, and is pullable/pushable during draining as usual.
- Force heal lvl 3 requires 50 force points to gain 50 health. This makes it impossible to keep on using force protect forever + heal. Advantage over drain: Independent force that requires no opponent. Disadvantage: Is more expensive and needs at least 50 force points to use.
- Force grip doesn't do damage, and doesn't 'cripple' you after 2 seconds. This seems to also eliminate the problem of wallgrip, since you can pull/push whenever they appear, without being unable to use force.
- Saberthrow reduced from 30 to 10 damage.
- Force absorb takes a lot of force, and can't be used without draining yourself of force quickly. Absorb also doesn't absorb any powers, so it's a one-way ticket, but may cleverly stop pulls/pushes at the right moment. Absorb may still be drained for HP.
- Force lightning does half the damage it used to.
- Fix: Force drain still hinders you from regaining force even though it doesn't take force. Shouldn't have any impact whatsoever.
- Fix: If you jump and then get gripped, you don't regain force. Should always regain force when not using force powers. Jump may be an exception.
- If an opponent is out of rage and with low hp, and is out of reach to drain the opponent, find a way to balance it so they can't just run away and use lightning lvl2 or saberthrow.
- Find something to substitute for Mind Trick, which no one uses and which would be OP at lvl 3 probably. Lightside is still missing an X-factor like force grip is in darkside.
- Maaaybe if possible: Cvar for making sabers update faster even with sv_fps 20. To avoid passthroughs and things we don't enjoy.
If you wanna try it out, contact me here and we'll find a time. Otherwise, maybe the devserver will be up, indicated by a fitting name.
