Spawning Stormtrooper Question

Hey just trying to play this game with my brother in mutliplayer. We like to spawn like 30 or so storm troopers for us to kill and a few years ago we used a program to do so. Now we use the binds and commands to make it easier but there is a problem.

The Stormtroopers refuse to shoot when we have lightsabers out. I'm aware this must be some kind of AI thing of them not shooting at a target with a lightsaber but I never remember having this problem. Is there something we can do to fix it? Occasionally it fixes by pulling out another weapon then switching back, but I just want them all to shoot regardless of how hopeless it may be for them (lol).

Any way to fix this in some way?

Thanks

Can I get some acknowledgement that someone has seen this? I know it is an old game but this was the most active forum I could find for it... : (

Your thread hasn't gone unnoticed. I've seen it the moment you made it. The reason no one replied to it is most likely because no one knows what to say, how to help you. I certainly don't.

Is it a problem people know about or am I not being specific enough? I could maybe even upload a video if need be

Your description of the problem seems detailed enough to me. I understand what the problem is, but I don't know how to help you. Sorry.

If you wish to make and upload a video showing the problem, go ahead. It probably won't do much good, but it won't do any harm either.

Does it happen to you? Wondering if I should install JA+ and see if it fixes in that..

I really don't know. I never tried spawning a Stormtrooper. Jan, Tavion and Alora are more fun to spawn.

As far as I know, JaPlus doesn't alter the NPC behavior. Or does it?

It's a JKA AI issue that's been around forever in multiplayer. What I suggest you do is look into Clanmod, or the slightly better-documented Thelasthope mod. They improve npc behavior (and solve this particular bug). May be a couple of others too.

If you need help getting it set up, shout, I've ran both in the past.

Okay cool I am checking it out now.

Looks really good. My brother is only 10 years old though, so I hope it isn't too confusing for him. I haven't wanted to mod the game too much because last time I did some files got corrupted or something and we had to uninstall, and our disk didn't work (only recently purchased a copy of steam for each of us) and so I don't want to run the risk of corrupting the game.

This wont change the game too much will it? I don't want, for instance, saber styles being completely different from the original, or force powers acting different. Just because when people change these kind of things it ends up making the game really unfair.

Well, it will to an extent, Clanmod is arguably the least game changing one. Saber styles, force powers, etc should still be the same though. Still, it shouldn't change it too much, I suggest just checking it out for yerself really

As for files getting corrupted, make sure you install it properly. Readme should have install instructions. Whatever you do, just don't overwrite any native game files

If you like, I can show you Clanmod on my server. Haven't got TheLastHope installed anywhere right now though.
