hey! I downloaed the openjk files from ur website and followed the installation steps on the video, but this error keeps occurring when i try to open the game. Do u what is it?   Error: "Couldn`t load mpdeefault.cfg, The crash log was written to /Users/user***/Library/ApplicationSupport/OpenJK/ 

The cause and solution to that is mentioned in the tutorial above under Common errors.

@Ruxith your images seem to have disappeared, looks like that image host doesn't exist anymore. I don't suppose you have the originals or can recreate them?

@Key the images hosted on tinypic.com were deleted. Any chance you have them somewhere else you can restore them with? A shame to let this nice tutorial lose its effectiveness.

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. I frequently have the problem of models not displaying a blade on their lightsaber when I load them in game. I know this has something to do with assigning left hand and right hand but I'm not really sure where to go to do this. Sorry for the noob question, but if you have any advice that would be great.

Make sure the *r_hand and *l_hand tags exist and are in the correct positions.

Recorded demos are not video files. They are text files that log every event that happens on the server. If you want to convert demos to a video, you either have to screen capture, or use something like jaMME.

So I have some of the files still lacking in your version. I took a slice of this website on 6/21/2006.  For example I have this zip https://files.jkhub.org/tutorial_files/RichDiesalFiles/vol_cm.zip on this page https://jkhub.org/mapping/richdiesal/GuestLecturer_ImportingCustomMD3Models_files/vol_cm.htm.  If the editors of the site want it among others please message me.

 

PM me with anything you have that we don't, and I'll gladly upload them!

Okay, but nothing happens, when I click it

Hm, I think it was because it was a non-https link. I fixed that, try now. It works for me.

Hello!  Where can I download the rgoer template? It would be really nice to have it.  

Thank you.

It is linked in the tutorial.

Okay.. So i think i got why it didn't work.. I assume it does only work on MP maps?

 

In which case, how can i make it, so NPCs will follow me THROUGHOUT the map, and not just when i am within 15-25 yards/meters?

 

Like if you spawn NPCs into the "t1_sour" mission, they will find you everywhere in the map

As opposed to spawning NPCs in any custom game?

Botroutes are for bots only and only work in MP. NPCs are not the same as bots. So no, this won't work for NPCs. Your question is related to scripting and should be posted in a new thread in the modding assistance forum.

@AradorasXeon looks like the screenshots were lost awhile back, not sure if you are able to restore those by chance?

If you start a game and want to access your saves or backups, the saves and config files for the Amazon Games version of Jedi Academy are located in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\LucasArts\Jedi Academy. The location of the OpenJK saves and base folder are in Documents/My Games/OpenJK

Updated to include new M1 native versions of OpenJK SP and MP, OpenJO SP, and instructions for JK2MV and EternalJK that work as of Monterey 12.3.1 on M1 and Intel chips.

Let’s say I have a sword that I want to be the same length as saberlength 40, how would I achieve this? Would I have to recreate the model to be longer?

This won’t change the model itself, only the effective damage radius it has. If you want a sword to be physically longer, the model will need to be edited in a modeling program like Blender.

I can say from experience that music files above 128 Kbps frequently fail to load, at least when created with Audacity and the LAME encoding library. Not sure why.

I haven't seen that happen, and I've been using my Prequel Music Replacement in my base folder for years, which are all at 320kbps made with Audacity. Interesting.

Using this method bypasses the NPC files completely, so they are irrelevant. Which also means you can't spawn them this way, unless someone adds that feature in their own code mod.

@@archetek I'm moving your comment to this thread, since it will be seen by more people, in our tutorial section.

I mean let's be honest it's prob user error

 

Every time I copy and paste the code it from the above post and change the resolution the command does nothing, when I look in the config and change it does nothing, I can't imagine it being anything else at this point.

 

What laptop is it? And are you sure your resolution is actually 1920x1080? Are you able to change the resolution if you turn off fullscreen?

I did this and my resolution is 1920x1080 it makes the width of the game to 1920 but keeps the height at default, I play on a laptop and it still gives me the 1024x768 box zoomed into 1920x1080 resolution 

Make sure you are typing the height command correctly. If width works and height doesn't, it sounds like user error. You can also try manually editing the cfg to the correct numbers.

I've just tried this on my laptop and it doesn't do anything.

 

Do i need to post anything to get it work.

 

Make sure you do /vid_restart after entering the 3 commands, or nothing will happen.

I will say that the first thing I ever learned to do was skinning. Then I made NPCs and Bots for them.

That's a common progression as well, but I've found that most people start with playing around with cheats, which then lead to messing around with NPC's to create your own variations of characters, then into creating new characters. Plus NPC's are super easy and get you familiar with the basics of PK3 files without diving too much into the creative side which not everyone is able to do.

In other words, for cheats in multiplayer, load the map with /devmap mapname

 

Then you can use cheats.

I tried your multiplayer weapon commands they dont even work

 

All cheats have to be run after going to a map via the command devmap. /devmap mapname

 

Once you are in the map in dev mode, you can use most cheats listed.

But they don't work

Are you referring to how to access the console or the cheats that were posted above in a comment? This tutorial is about how to access the console.

What about console commands in multiplayer?

 

It's the same as in single player.
