Star Wars: Sagas is a Garrys Mod RPG gamemode that takes place just after the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The newly created Galactic Empire is making their presence known across the galaxy, while the newborn rebellion has begun to fight back against this oppression.
Too many RPG's in Garry's Mod are either Medieval or Half-Life themed. While nothing is wrong with that, it leaves nothing for the Sci-Fi fans! That's where this game comes in. Players of Star Wars: Galaxies will no-doubt find more than a few similarities, as that game has strongly influenced my design.Current Features:
[list][*] Sandbox-Style Gameplay[*] Over 150 custom items, each with custom-created icons and descriptions (Weapons, armor, consumables, components, resources, and more)[*] Extensive Crafting[*] Resource Sampling (Mining, Foraging)[*] Many different creatures and humanoid enemies to challenge you[*] 3rd-Person View[*] Player-Owned Housing[*] Squads[*] Abilities & Buffs[*] Completely Customized World. You won't see any citizens, rebels, combine, or anything of that sort. It looks and feels as a Star Wars universe should[*] A unique Profession system allowing players to specialize and dabble in more than 20 professions.[*] Character Customization Options[*] Health/Action/Mind System[*] Multiple Planets[*] Banking[*] Player Marketplace (The Bazaar)[*] New profession, "Architecture", allowing players to create furniture items, some usable and some for pure aesthetics.[*] An extensive content upgrade to player owned housing, adding options to move/rotate furniture items, as well as lock items in your house down so that they will persist with the house even after your character logs out.[/list]Upcoming Features:

Content Pack
Star Wars: Sagas uses a rather large-sized content pack (900mb) that is available through an SVN.
SVN
https://swsagascontent.svn.sourcefor...swsagascontent
Create a folder in your Addons folder titled "Star Wars Sagas", and then check out the above URL to that folder.
Simply move the "Star Wars Sagas" folder into your addons folder (garrysmod/garrysmod/addons) and you're all set.
Continuing small little updates and fixes for the time being. Servers are up! Also, please remember that the game is in Open Beta, and nothing is for certain as far as character wipes go.

Thanks, and sure I'll toss you an invite. :)

Beta has been going on all through today and the server/game are very stable, not a single server or client error or crash!
-
:O I love it. Keep up the good work.
-
Best edit of underdone I've seen,
-
Thanks Polkm means alot to me, and thanks so much again for releasing such a valuable tool to learn from.
Beta News: Well, after being up for over 8 hours, we finally had our first server crash. Good news is that nothing was lost at all, so that was actually a good test in itself.
We've found a few bugs so that's good. We're also working on getting some additional content pack download mirrors going to fuel the demand. Thanks to everyone who's helping out and testing.
[11:00 PM EST - Apparently the site couldn't handle everyone trying to download, and it decided to die. I'll have multiple mirrors up tomorrow morning, and I apologize for the inconvenience. If anyone that has it feels like mirroring it, that's awesome.]
-
I'm pretty sure alot of the icons you used in the script are property of Sony Online Entertainment. Never mind that though, this looks pretty good.
-
I'll get you a mirror set up on my website as soon as I can, like I said.
-
Woops, yes they are - Added them in the credits. Thanks.
Open Beta News:
Server was up when I went to bed and down when I woke up, so I'm not sure when throughout the night it went down. Not to worry though, I now have it on auto-restart so everything is automated now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Awesome :aaa:
-
Sweet!
:gizz:
Gonna try it out now.

Nostalgia...
I loved SWG, do it justice.
-
I've played SWG off and on since 2003. Trust me, I shall!
-
So is this RP-Based or more MMORPG-skill training and gold-mining kind of stuff?
I find it a little tedious to have to spend a few days making friends and waiting for money just to get in a little action.
-
This is MMORPG based, meaning you can hop right in the game and start progressing in whichever way you want. You can start venturing into the wilderness in search of ore and resources to sample, or stick around in town and play through some questlines, etc. It's sandbox-style gameplay, and a player driven economy, so you craft your own success however you want.
-
Very fun. I have been playing in it alot.
-
I was playing this earlier tonight, and I have to say the star wars theme is really cool, hope you add more skills and weapons and what not :D.
-
Yeah I saw you guys playing when I was snooping over the rcon for a moment :P - Someone said it was just underdone with different models and some new crappy UI's -- while I'll admit my UI's are pretty terribad...well, I hope to prove him/her wrong if I haven't already.
Anyway, latest Beta News: We had a stress test in the afternoon with a pretty large battle throughout the city streets. Many a Rebel and Imperial lied dead in the sand, but it sure was fun!
I'm working on a patch that will fix all of the remaining bugs we've found, and also adds player titles. You can gain titles from completing certain quest chains, learning certain skill boxes, and many other ways (only skill boxes are in the game at the moment). You can then switch between titles via Q -> Character.

I'm digging that third person camera, reminds me a lot of the old JK3 days.
-
Oh doesn't this bring back some good memories. I wish you all the luck!
-
Thanks - Just looked at that mod, that's pretty cool. You can definitely see they were a fan of Star Wars Galaxies Emu, even calling their updates "Cores" lol.
I held off on making a forum post like that until I had something for people to get on and play with - I didn't want to add too much suspense and then never produce a playable game (dont that before, feels like crap for all parties involved).
-
Wow this looks amazing. the underdone base by far seemed like it made the whole starwars style mmo easier to code.
Good work I hope it doesnt fall apart like my project did.
: ) <3

You should improve the looting system, like it stays onto the corpse where you can then search it for the items besides them flying from the body.
Also, will their be like swords or power weapons, maybe even lightsabers?
-
Like this?
-
yeh, with the light sabers. Also there are actually vibro-weapons.
I have a problem though, i can't talk to like traders and the rebel people. I've rejoined and deleted my cache/bin
-
That's very interesting Katsu -- Haven't heard of anyone else experiencing the problem..could it be some kind of conflicting addon do you think?
Also - Already have lightsabers in the game, and they make correct sounds etc. They just aren't usable by players, because I want to eventually make Jedi a rare and special "class" at some point later on.
EDIT:
Here's the latest WIP for the Travel Menu. Note that the travel menu has been tested to already work, and all of those icons act as "buttons" to click in order to travel. Also note this is a rough WIP and doesn't reflect the quality of finished material:
-
Looks very VERY promising. :D
-
Loveable
-
I second this make jedi attainable some what like they are in the emu or pre-cu SWG.That's very interesting Katsu -- Haven't heard of anyone else experiencing the problem..could it be some kind of conflicting addon do you think?

If you make it a selectable profession and such thats all people are gonna be.
Jedi...
Also making new models for lightsabers might be a good idea the current ones out as far as I know look like total crap.
Just my 2 cents.
-
I would like to see a system where Melee fighting works, with Force powers that aren't just weapons you have to select, but it looks like with your GUI you wont have to.
So when two Force Sensitives (like Jedi or Sith) can battle it's a fluent and interesting battle without having to fumble around with commands and junk.
Or a system where, a Force Sensitive can only be trained by an Adept Force User through RP and stuff, which could take days, even weeks in the roleplay. Developing Rp Skills and stuff.
-
Eventually I would definitely like to get abilities in-game, and that opens up the possibility for force powers (and other abilities) that you could just drag onto your toolbar for hotkeying. To be honest, I'm not planning on doing work on Jedi any time soon, there's just so much other stuff I want to get in first. But yes, the plan is to make Jedi secretly attainable through alot of work and a bit of luck.
-
Naboo is basically done, when are we gunna get it up and running on a server :D? Also, Tatooine has been redone a tiny bit you may want to update the server with the new map. I'll send it to you when I get home, i'm at school right now.
-
You are the man Ard! Can't wait to get Naboo up and running, as well as Tatooine :D I've been working on this Star Destroyer instance and I'd say I'm about 60% finished with it. Going to be a big patch!
-
So you got it ready for tomorrow???
-
Shouldn't matter people need to realize starwars isn't just all about OMFGIGOTLIGHZSABORZIHACKZANDUSEFORCEPOWERZNAOW!
-
It'll be close - I'm working really hard on it, and I think I should have the new drop tables done by tonight, which will basically finish it up. It won't be amazing, and there will probably need to be alot of tweaking to it in the patches afterwards, but it should be playable!
I completely agree with you there - I think for the most part though, 99% of the people that come on to Star Wars: Sagas and play don't mind the fact that there aren't jedi around, and don't even ask about it..which is kind of a refreshing feeling :)Mandalore777 posted:

This looks amazingly good. Feels very Star Lulzy, except for Tali, What the hell was that, haha.
I will join the server now.

The First Content Pack Upgrade has arrived! Simply download this, and extract it to Addons - If it asks you if you want to overwrite files, just click Yes for all. Until I can find a better way of distributing content such as maps, we're having to resort to these - Hopefully, they will not be too often as to get annoying. For new players, I will be getting an updated all-in-one content pack link sometime tonight hopefully.
IMPORTANT: DELETE ANY TATOOINE MAP THAT MAY BE IN YOUR GARRYSMOD/GARRYSMOD/MAPS FOLDER.

The lightsaber pack which ZiBL uploaded to garrysmod.org are actually mine which he/she uploaded without my permission.
I'm not going to kick up a huge fuss about it, I'm just glad they're being used for something.
Hope it all goes well, and I'll hopefully find time to be able to play it soon.
If you need any extra stuff, just shoot me a PM, and I might be able to whip something up.
