JKXR - EA Build 1.1.6

Hello Patrons!

We have another exciting update to JKXR to share with you, originally this was going to be a fairly small release a week or so ago; however curiosity got the better of me and I started looking at some of the vehicle issues so it took a little longer than expected.

So.. if you fancy racing around Zonju V on a Speeder Bike, or hopping on the back of a tauntaun on the ice planet Hoth, you now can!

Be warned, the speeder bikes in particular are fast and not only that but if you want to stand any chance of not dying, you need to blast your way through plenty of opponents, which requires precision steering more than simple "snap turn" would allow (so don't eat a big meal beforehand).

It is quite probable (though I haven't had a chance to try them yet) that other vehicles work well too, so please feedback your experiences. 

You steer the vehicle (even a tauntaun is considered a vehicle) by tilting the controllers left and right. You make the vehicle accelerate forwards or reverse by tilting the controllers forwards or backwards. Fire is the trigger as you would expect.. and you can also equip the lightsaber whilst mounted, which is fun! The B button will act as a boost (or if on a tauntaun, a sort of "dash" which can kill NPCs on contact), or if you are holding the lightsaber, will put it away.

There are a couple of known issues, for example, if you look too high when riding a tauntaun it will disappear for some reason; haven't yet located the cause but we didn't want to hold up the release for a silly little issue like that.

In addition to the above, there's a number of fixes for issues that have been reported or known about for a while:

• Changes to how the weapon adjustments are managed (might prove useful for mods in the future, thanks for MuadDib for this)
• Fix for a crash when loading a saved game
• Fix instant death when riding some elevators in first person
• Fix the black sky over Hoth
• Added ability to switch saber fighting styles (stances) in 3rd person in JKA
• Ensure the Speed force power briefly affects the FOV like it does in JKO
• Fixed 6DoF positional movement when using a vehicle or in 3rd person
• Speeder Bikes and Tauntauns view camera decoupled. Steering by controller tilt (joystick style)
• Ability to wield the lightsaber on a vehicle

We hope you enjoy this update, if you find any issues please let us know!
