Multiple Installs?

[katanamaru]

Is it possible to install the game multiple times on one machine? I want to try OJK and other code mods and would like to do so on a different install.

OpenJK uses a different .exe so it shouldn't need a separate install.

 

But to answer your question, it should be possible. Just change the install path in the install wizard.

I can't find the OpenJK download.

You can just move OpenJK's exe somewhere else, and then make a .bat for it which has something to this effect:

 

openjk.x86.exe +set fs_basepath "<Path to JKA Installation gamedata folder>" +set fs_cdpath "<Path where openjk.x86.exe is. The last folder so for e.g. C:\OJK\Gamedata>"

It will load PK3s from your JKA installation without you having to move them, and the PK3s in your new side area will get loaded as well (overwriting the base game assets)

 

You can also set fs_game, and it will load them in this order:

 

base

openjk base

fs_game

openjk fs_game

Just copy the whole folder. At times I had 3 different installs (1.01, MBII and 1.0)

Why waste hard drive space when you can use simple cvar manipulation to achieve the same effect?

His question was if he can install the game multiple times and yes he can

And disk space is cheap anyway
