If you choose "Other" please comment below what that "other" is!

Modeling 3D assets has become more and more mainstream since Jedi Outcast and Academy came out. It used to be an obscure talent only a handful of modders could do well. Nowadays, more and more people are picking up 3D modeling as a hobby or full career. There are many tools out there to shape, mold, and sculpt in a 3D space. Which one do you use primarily for Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy mods?

The feature is only done via hard code edits, so you'd need to know programming and it would then require you to use a custom .exe anyway. Might as well use JAEnhanced and disable any features you don't want to use.

Isn't SWGL a singleplayer-only mod?

In other words, the load order doesn’t override the previously loaded items, they would just be skipped. A bit different than other games like Skyrim and KOTOR. Only other thing I can think of causing issues is other pk3s in the OpenJK folder rather than the base folder. Either in Gamedata/Openjk or Documents/My Games/Openjk.

PK3 load order doesn’t change in OpenJK, it was always loaded in reverse order. Are you sure these issues don’t appear when running with jasp.exe? Does OpenJK run fine without this mod installed?

This should be in the tutorial section, that's a good summary that I'm sure would be useful for new people.

Where did you download the map from?

In simpler terms, you have to edit the source code to raise such limits. OpenJK and its various forks already raise them a decent amount. Also like you said, there are a lot of Boba models out there that look really good already. Verts and polys will only get you so far before you need to also have a modern renderer to make it look worth using. There's a reason modelers still optimize their high res models to work in JKA properly. They still look great, just not as great as they would in a modern game with a modern engine and renderer like Battlefront II. It's best to aim for OpenJK's limits at the most. You could also look into making it compatible with rend2, which is an experimental modern renderer that can be used with OpenJK.

We don’t host images outside of file page screenshots because server space and bandwidth is expensive and images add up over time to be a lot of those two things. Upload to a service like Imgur or imbb and use the direct link that way.

Nothing should go in base unless you plan on playing the base game. If you're only going to be playin JAEnhanced, your other pk3s can go in the jaenhanced folder, although it does load pk3s from both, it does not load DLLs from both. The folder structure in the ZIP file is how it should be in your GameData alongside the base folder. The readme says to drop everything in GameData and that should be all you need to do. Not sure what else to tell you, other than make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Maybe try launching the .exe as administrator. You should try going to Documents/My Games/jaenhanced and deleting the files in there as well, its possible you had a weird graphics setting causing it.

Interesting. That error is usually for progressive textures, which can only be run in openjk/JAEnhanced so it makes sense you get that error when running it via base JKA through the menu. Using that menu doesn’t change the executable that is used. Did you make sure to have all of the .dll files in the right areas? Whatever it was in the zip folder is where they should be in the gamedata folder. jaenhancedgamex86.dll should be in the jaenhanced folder. All other DLLs should be in gamedata.

Do you get any errors? I'm curious why you wiped the game and reinstalled? Did anything else on your PC change like graphics drivers or anything? Does the base Jedi Academy game launch okay without the mod?

Assuming this is meant to be for single player, I believe most of that will need to be done via scripting, but I think some things can be set to the info_player_start entity. You'll find some helpful info in here: Particularly in part 3 he shows a script that sets force powers and weapons.

That looks incredible, holy balls.

Just an FYI, I created a rend2 tutorial section and moved a couple threads to it as per SomaZ. Tagging the Rend2 Acolytes that sing its praises regularly, that I can think of. @DT85 @minilogoguy18 @SomaZ @mjt @Stoiss @Mandalorian @AshuraDX More tutorials for it would be appreciated, if anyone is up for that. I know SomaZ is working on some, in case others wanted to as well. https://jkhub.org/tutorials/rend2/

The master server line is important if you're using the server browser to find servers. If your friend is just waiting for your server to show up on that list, they'd need to be using OpenJK or EternalJK to be able to see them on that master. You could just skip the server list completely and just tell them to use the console and type /connect 192.168.1.1 (for example - and if you have a password do /password password) Or you could tell them to add the IP as a favorite in the server list and change the filter to Favorites.

I think @SomaZ is usually a good resource for rend2 questions. If rend2 tutorials are spread around the forum we should probably get them in the tutorials section to find easier. I could always make a new category for it if people think that would be used.
