Hello. I opened the source code of JKClient: https://github.com/entdark/JKClient That source is a skeleton for JKChat mobile application (that source I am going to open later). That client is a rewritten JA and JO engines code that doesn't require game assets yet still can let you to connect to game servers. The client is written on C#. Why C# - you may ask? Since it's a special library that targets .NET Standard 2.1 then it can be compiled once and ran on many OSs. That library can be ran on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and others. If I chose to make the assetsless client

One more hotfix for both Android and iOS. Fixed getting an error on JO servers when sending a message with non-ASCII characters. And new experimental feature for iOS: endless background execution. That is achieved by using GPS tracking. You have to grant a permission to the app to use location updates "Always". If you denied the permission or only granted "When in use" but want to let the app always stay in background anyways, then enable "Always" in Settings -> JKChat.iOS -> Geolocation. Location is not actually tracked, if you care about privacy. It's only requested to be up

Made a hotfix for iOS for invisible text in input field. Check TestFlight for an update.

IMPORTANT note for those who download from Google Play Store: if you have never downloaded the app or uninstalled it previously, then after installing, it will offer you to update the app. So make sure to not leave the Google Play Store app page and update the app after initial installation.

IMPORTANT: I hear all your suggestions, guys, but as I told earlier, some features require new UI and it's still in development. Be patient, please. Updated the app. For iOS users: Install TestFlight: https://apps.apple.com/app/testflight/id899247664 Then open that link on your iOS device: https://testflight.apple.com/join/5HSqhVHw For Android users: Install directly from APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptx301a1pas39n9/com.vlbor.jkchat.apk?dl=1 Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlbor.jkchat Added: - added recent servers that app

Made one more hotfix, but for Android only. Links are the same. Fixed: - annoying frequent sounds from notification - blank server print messages - crashes on old devices Added: - disconnect from all the servers on app minimizing with Back button (foreground notification disappears) - disconnect from all the servers on app closing/swiping from the Recents screen (foreground notification disappears) For both Android and iOS: if you want to manually disconnect from certain server, just type "/disconnect" (without quotes) there.

Made a hotfix for inability to connect to passworded servers. Redownload from the same links.

Updated the app. For iOS users: Install TestFlight: https://apps.apple.com/app/testflight/id899247664 Then open that link on your iOS device: https://testflight.apple.com/join/5HSqhVHw For Android users: Install directly from APK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptx301a1pas39n9/com.vlbor.jkchat.apk?dl=1 Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlbor.jkchat Added: - Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast servers support (v1.02, v1.03, v1.04) - pull-to-refresh feature to refresh server list - informative dialog windows (if you got kicked, if server is full

New features are upcoming: jk2 servers support - done server commands - done refreshing server list - done background execution - implemeting Fixed some bugs (especially for often crashing iOS) and made some improvements - thanks for reports. Expect a new version very soon.

I did. No dates yet.

I understand and cannot help with it. Sorry. Currently putting any effort into making special protocol for mobile clients is not considered.

With that logic, everything is doable. I thought about many options too. And many of them require either modifications but that requires to put an extra effort and who will even use that change in their mods/engines? They won't bother. Or to run an extra server that controls the master client. And what if that server is down? There are some more options but believe me it's better to leave everything as is and put the effort into completing the app rather than fixing the logic behind clients taking slots. Clients that take slots issue could be considered after everything is done.

No, there isn't, unfortunately.

Google has finally approved the app. You can download the app from Google Play Store now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlbor.jkchat

@Wolfeye Hi, thanks for your questions. I am from a CTF community where some players really sit a lot in spec and chat and they are not chatting on Discord at that moment. That was the origin of the idea. Also not everyone knows and uses Discord. And something that happens on the server stays on the server, and none will copy-paste chat logs from there to Discord to stay on topic. As I also said everyone has their own reason to chat. You got it wrong. You don't send any bot on the server, you connect yourself. I have rewritten JA engine to become a standalone client that doesn't
