Issue with running the mod

[carter8383]

I just tried this mod a few days ago, with the install working just fine and being able to play with the mod, but after wiping my game and reinstalling, I now can't play the game with the mod. I've followed the install instructions, it's not really hard but all I get is a white screen that doesn't respond. I am on Windows x 64 with an up to date Visual C++, and I'm just confused how this could have worked just fine before, even adding several other mods afterward, but now it will not work.

Do you get any errors? I'm curious why you wiped the game and reinstalled? Did anything else on your PC change like graphics drivers or anything?

Does the base Jedi Academy game launch okay without the mod?

[carter8383]

I really didn't need to, I was trying to get rid of a few mods, when I should have just pulled their file out of the base folder, but I was being lazy I guess. Nothing else changed, the base game runs just fine. It recognizes the mod in the settings, but when I try to launch it that way, it has an error log, otherwise it just launches a white screen and doesn't respond for the several minutes I let it go for to see if it was just being slow.

 

It acts the same with or without the extra mods I have currently loaded, I was just playing the vanilla version with them for a while today.

Interesting. That error is usually for progressive textures, which can only be run in openjk/JAEnhanced so it makes sense you get that error when running it via base JKA through the menu. Using that menu doesn’t change the executable that is used.

Did you make sure to have all of the .dll files in the right areas? Whatever it was in the zip folder is where they should be in the gamedata folder. 
 

jaenhancedgamex86.dll should be in the jaenhanced folder. 
All other DLLs should be in gamedata. 

[carter8383]

Ooooh, yeah the Readme just lists everything to GameData, so that's what I'd been doing. Don't know how I stumbled into the right way the first time lol.

I just tried it though, and it's still acting the same.  The .dll and the .pk3s I want to use all go into base, not the folder itself right? I've tried both now on a clean install again to be sure, and it's still just a white screen with no response. And now I'm getting that same error code, minus the extra .pk3s when launching vanilla SP through steam.

Nothing should go in base unless you plan on playing the base game. If you're only going to be playin JAEnhanced, your other pk3s can go in the jaenhanced folder, although it does load pk3s from both, it does not load DLLs from both.

The folder structure in the ZIP file is how it should be in your GameData alongside the base folder. The readme says to drop everything in GameData and that should be all you need to do.

 

Not sure what else to tell you, other than make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Maybe try launching the .exe as administrator.

You should try going to Documents/My Games/jaenhanced and deleting the files in there as well, its possible you had a weird graphics setting causing it.

[carter8383]

That did it, it must have been wonky graphics. I appreciate you helping me sort this out, it was so frustrating uninstalling and reinstalling to try and get it to work.
