More JKA Technical Non-sense

[Mog]

Alright, so a few days ago, JKA decided to stop working for me. Whenever I start the game and it goes to the boot screen I'm kicked out to the desktop and the program stops working. This happened almost immediately after I updated my graphics card so I'm sure that the card is to blame. However, I have not been able to find a fix of some kind to help remedy this issue, assuming that the graphics card is even to blame.

 

Oh, and my graphics chip is an Intel HD Graphics 4400. Before the update it worked well

Try using OpenJK. I think vanilla JKA has graphics issues

Well, that fixed everything

 

One question though. Is there a way that I can launch OpenJK through UU instead of it auto launching japlus?

[eezstreet]

Not sure.

[Mog]

Not sure.

I assumed in that auto load mod box you put the directory for the mod in, didn't really work. Then I figured since it used the name of the JA+ folder that I'd just put the name of the folder that had OpenJK in it; still didn't work. So...I'll probably have to ditch the KT if I can't figure how to get it working

[eezstreet]

Probably. Keep in mind that UU was designed for jamp.exe, not the OpenJK exe so there will most definitely be issues with UU

[Raz0r]

Well, what are you using UU for? You might not need it.

[Morabis]

Maybe its a crazy idea but what if you rename the openjk executable to jamp.exe?

I doubt very much that would work really.

Not really as a kill tracker but more for the chat styling and media player

It probably won't work

JPLua ChatStyle plugin

 

As for media player, I recommend foobar2000 and setting up keyboard shortcuts (e.g. I use Ctrl+Alt+Right for next song)

OpenJK allows minimising/alt-tab etc, not sure what else is missing because I've never properly used UU =p

JPLua ChatStyle plugin

 

 

Ok so I enabled the new chatbox, used the commands to enable the style and nothing showed up I have a feeling I missed something

[Raz0r]

Oh, the new chatbox also requires /bind y messageModeAll and /bind t messageModeTeam

Replacing the jamp.exe

 

Renaming existing one to jamp.exe.old and grabbing openjkx86 and renaming to jamp.exe should work because UU just looks for an exe in default location, worked with me when I tried it many moons ago!

[Didz]

Many of UU's features will crash on OpenJK because it's a different engine and UU relies on the memory layout of the engine being consistent. It could even lead to data loss if you're not careful.
