Jedi Knight Galaxies Release

[eezstreet]

As per the news post on this site, I regret to be the bearer of such an ill-fated release. I'd like to apologize for the dozens (if not hundreds) of people that were displaced by JKG's release fiasco. Allow me to explain.

 

See, we were always developing the mod, but skimped out a little when it came down to the nitty gritty. As a result of a lack of foresight and stress testing measures performed by our staff, TerranGaming was forced to be shut down whenever the floodgates of people came. To make matters worse, the ZIP version of our mod still has yet to become available on Moddb.

 

In hindsight, we probably also should not have had to force our server issues on Cael. We only did so because it was delaying the mod further. The main reason we were delayed was because Kimsufi (our dedicated server provider) refused to give service to our mod team due to nationality (team leader is Swedish, they only accept US, Canada, UK and Ireland).

 

In short, it was a mess. Things were further exacerbated by the fact that trying to move the launcher packages in one quick go caused a bit of chaos in the system, but I am working on controlling that. Let the records show however that I do know PHP, just very little of it.

 

Hopefully you can see past the launch issues and will play with us some more in the future.

...that came out bad.

 

Today I was inspired by a man who told me, "They will not care if it takes forever, or if [the release] is marred by issues. It is the goal and what you make of yourself that matters."

Release dates are always a bitch. I would sympaphise, if it wasn't for fact that after all your mess with the launch, the game crashes on start up, and I still can't try it out xD

[Kannos'v Lightdust]

dunno why but after clientupdate patch i cant play.

It should be considerably more stable after the end of the week. Much, much more stable. There was a lot of chaos. After we get the next major revision out the door, it should be stable.

dunno why but after clientupdate patch i cant play.

Should now be fixed.

So I thought I would give the mod another shot as i didn't really give it a chance the first time. When I download the zip from the hub it crashes when it tries to connect, when I try the launcher, it crashes on the installer. Any suggestions as to how to actually make it work?

The download servers are still under a high level of stress. We're working diligently to get them move over to a JKHub setup which will be more stable.

Launcher 'cannot connect to server'. Doh.

[MUG]

Well, I got to 7% on the new version of the launcher before it crashes rather than 3% on the old one.....at least its an improvement...

[Szico VII]

Also it keeps telling me to update the launcher every time I run,l even though ive 'updated' to 1.0f TWICE.

its on f now.

[Szico VII]

Yes thats what I said? But it keeps trying to make me re-update to the same version.

[therfiles]

Yah that happened to me, to. Did you get a little pop-up? I just closed that and pressed the update button.

[Szico VII]

Ya but it happens every time still

[Agent Jones]

server is down

[Pande]

This happened to me until I realised it was installing Jedi Knight Galaxies folder INSIDE the original Jedi Knight Galaxies folder. So, I had the updated version inside the non-updated version. Double check where it is installing to, and make sure Jedi Knight Galaxies isn't the *folder* it's being installed into.

[eezstreet]

Any news on this? server has been down for quite a while.

[Inyri]

Haven't gotten your own server yet? Seriously?

[eezstreet]

I'm not in charge of these sorts of things. Don't blame me. D:

[MUG]

Looks up to me.

[eezstreet]

Looks up to me.

?

[MUG]

?

At the time I posted that, the server CP for Kak was showing this:

 

However, the control panel doesn't even list Kak when I checked just now...as if either the server doesn't exist at all or it is no longer tied to my account.

[Mysterious Stranger]

I saw a great deal of *Jedi* servers on GameTracker with similar IPs, yours(with that port) is one of them. It looks as though someone has reinstalled many game servers...

 

Set show 50 servers, go to page three an you'll find yours amongst the *Jedi*'s

[MUG]

Aye, saw this a while ago. We have no access to the CP and the server is running default. My guess is the host company fucked up big time somehow on large scale.

[Mysterious Stranger]

Heh that happened with magnavolge...send them an angry ticket.

 

Don't suppose you remember what the default rcon pass was, assuming yours came with one?

 

Maybe with the recent attacks they thought a reinstallation would fix things.
