JAPLUS SERVER CVARS
************************************

//--------client Side PLugin----------
- sv_pure (1 or 0):
JA+ is a  server side Mod for windows, linux and Mac which has the possibility to get a Client side plugin with pk3 files.
this plugin is designed to give UI, animation and feature enhancement to your client side game.
You are not obligated to install the plugins with the JA+ server side part to run a JA+ server.
 
If the JA+ server you play is PURE server (sv_pure 1), all players and the server will have to install this plugins to join this server.
so in this case the JA+ server is not server side anymore.
 
If the JA+ server you play is NOT PURE server (sv_pure 0), the server and players are not obligated to install this plugin to join the game.
So in this case the JA+ server remains a server side mod.
the server will recognize the players who have the plugins and will make them take advantage of it to have better animation, Ui and features.
The players who have not this plugins will be able to join but will not have those better things (and they won't see the difference with a normal server side JA+ ).
The fact that several players are running this plugin on a server where other players are not running it will not change and alter the gameplay of player.
PS: in sv_pure 0, all pk3 at client side can be used by the client: SO if the client has to many pk3, he may have problem with missing textures or joining the server.
 
 
- jp_cinfo :(bit value) this is a internal server cvar used by the server to send a lot of data compressed in one cvar to the clients.
if some important features configs are changed on the server, the jp_cinfo is updated.
those changes can be move cvars, attacks cvar, info on if everybody is using the plugin in impure server, .......etc....
you can't change the value of this cvar, this is changed only by the server.
 
 
//-------- High speed URL AutoDownload Redirect for needed Pk3 when connecting a server:------------------ 
this feature enable players to download with high speed the needed pk3 files (like maps, npc, vehicles, sabers...etc...) to be able to play on your server.
- jp_DlBaseURL ( URL default value ""  ex: value "http://www.japlus.net/japlus/" )
// jp_DlBaseURL is the equivalent to your gamedata folder.
// so if your server have a pk3 test.pk3 under the base folder and if you want people to be able download it, your Website must contain 
// this file at [jp_DlBaseURL]base/test.pk3  Exemple : http://www.japlus.net/japlus/base/test.pk3 .
// remember the server will only make player download the real needed files and not all files.
// PS : Player need the lastest JA+ Plugin 1.4 or above for this feature.
// to disable this feature, put a empty string "" as a value for this cvar.
// example of working redirect with a lot of maps already uploaded : seta jp_DlBaseURL "http://japlus.newboyzgaming.com/files/"
 
 
 
//--------Secured server section----------
- jp_maxConnFromIP (integer default 2): max number of connections per IPs. It prevent your server from beeing attacked with a fake player Denial of Service.
the use of those kind of Server attacks can lag your server (based on quake3 engine) terribly and even crash it.
Since this DoS attack program was released ( i prefer not to say where to find it for evident reason), server owners reported that some immature players are more and more 
using it to lag and crash servers.
 
- jp_userInfoAntiSpam (integer default 3) set to 0 to cancel the antispam of fast user info change. It controls the number of max fast user info changed to prevent spamming which may lead to client disconnection. When a player is trying to make a denial of service with fast user info changed, the player will be blocked. For admins, set up a higher value if you meet issues with client desynchronization with the server.
 
//--------AutoQuit Feature----------
-jp_autoQUIT "80-06:00" : desactivate it if you don't have an autoRestart script in your server. To desactivate it put seta jp_autoQUIT ""
it has been stated that basejka servers need to be restarted sometimes in order to increase performance.
This feature will make your server quit at a given date. Then your autoRestart script will restart the server.
By default  "80-06:00" means that your server will Quit after 80Hours of online run but it will wait for 06:00 in the morning (this is the date in your server).
People currenytly playing are warned 1 minute before the Quit. And the server ask them to use /reconnect.
 
//-------------Alternate DImension (no rules dimension for real ffa players)---------------------------
- jp_altDim (2, 1 or 0 default 2): activate or desactivate the alternate dimension (Only usuable in FFA and not in jedi vs merc)
0 : alternate dimension is desactivated
1 : it is activated and players are put in the first dimension when they connect to the server
2 : it is activated and players are put in the alternate dimension (real ffa dimension) when they connect to the server
 
Some clans are using FFA to set No laming rules in order to make trainings between Masters and their padawans
or to play with honour or in RPG Context....etc....Those Clans don't like that real FFA players (i.e players wanting only kill kill kill) come in their servers
and disturb the  trainings or unrespect the No laming server rules...etc. Thanks to this Alternate Dimension (controlled by jp_AltDim cvar),
all those various type of players will be able to play on the same server and at the same time. So if you set NO laming rules on your server, real ffa players can
play in the alternate dimension. Players can use the /amAltDim cmd to switch from one dimension to another. 
PLayers from a dimension can't interfere with players from another dimension.
Admins can also force a Player to go and stay in this Alternate dimension (/amForceAltDim , /amUnforceAltDim).
Admin cmds like sleep, ghost, mindtrick...etc.. are not usuable on people playing on this alternate dimension.
(only basic admin cmd like amkick, amban, amsilence...etc..are usuable on players in the alternate dimension). 
Competitive settings are also auto set for this alternate dimension.
If a player is slept or ghosted or any other admin cmd, he will have the possibility to go in the alternate dimension and he will be auto waken, unghosted...etc....
However this player will be also auto forced to stay in the alternate dimension.
Players from a dimension can invite another player from a different one to join his dimension using the engage duel key. 
PS: use the lastest plugin in order to have the best smoothy client prediction and nice effect for players in the opposite dimension.

It also prevent players from emoting in the air.
 
- jp_emotDisallow ( default 0): allow/disallow emots on the server by adding the bit values of the emots you want to disallow.
here is the list of emots:

**server side behaviour : if you are not using the client side plugin, when in duel, you can go through other players except your ennemi 🙂
**Client side plugin behaviour : if you are using the client side plugin, you have better features:
-when you are in duel, you can't see other players and you are not influenced by other players weapons, force power use, explosions......
-if you aren't in duel, you see cloaked duelers. the degree of visibility of duelers is controled by  jp_DuelAlpha.
** if you are inside a player at the end of a duel, you will be able to go outside of him.
** Improvement in transfered data between clients and server.
 
jp_DuelAlpha -1 : non interference code desactivated
jp_DuelAlpha between 0 and 255 : it is the degree visibility of duelers. if 0, you wont see the duelers

    //---------- Anti cheat ----------- 
 
- jp_antiHackModel (1 or 0 default 1): prevent players from using models exploits without legs, head or torso with the head, torso, lower variation.
it also prevents at server side in team gametype from beeing in red while your team is blue (or the opposite)
 
 
- jp_macroScan (2, 1 or 0 default 0): allow/disallow the Macro scan module to avoid player cheat.
0: cheats not scanned for player using the plugin
1 : cheats scanned for all plugin users
2 : cheats only scanned if all players are using the plugin on the server.So basically it will be the case if:
*** server is sv_pure 1 and if the pluginv1.1 or above is installed on the server (so all players will have to install the plugin)...
*** or if all current players actually have the plugin1.1 or above installed.
 
The scanning system looks for all binded key that contains sequence of cmds that build macro cheat attacks or move hard to make without the binded key.
This scanning system has been improved compaired with the dueler one because it really scans all possible cheat script macro with move, weapon, attacks, combo move, combo force, combo attacks.
this system WILL NOT tell to everybody or log into the games.log that a player is cheating...it is not the purpose. This macro scan system will only disable the binded key at client side
and disable all possible cheat warning ONLY the cheater.
 
 
 
this macro scan is the Dueler mod system (here are the explanation of the dueler mod readme):
Many users have macros to change skins or hilts or rotate through taunts or select admin commands. These macros are not targeted. However, there are other macros that use movement and attack commands in special sequences to perform difficult manoeuvres flawlessly and effortlessly. A common example is: 
Blue Stance Lunge Macro: 
bind key "-forward;wait 2;+forward;wait 2;+movedown;+attack;wait 2;-attack;-movedown;-forward" 
this turns 'key' into a single click lunger (assuming you are in blue stance). 
These macros are targeted and disabled. Here is a description of how the scanning behaves to help you make your decision: 
a regular scan of all key bindings is made by the client.  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a series of commands then the series of commands is investigated. Most game bindings are from a key to a single command. The presence of the ';' character in a bind, tells the client that there is a sequence of commands.  The command sequence is scanned for the presence of any movement or attack commands. Specifically: +moveup, +attack, +forward, +back, and +movedown are illegal commands in the sequence  If these commands are found, the key binding is disabled  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a string that uses exec to read commands from a file, that file is inspected. If the file contains illegal commands (as above), the bind is disabled.  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a string that uses vstr to evaluate the contents of a cvariable, the cvariable is inspected. If the cvariable contains illegal command (as above), the bind is disabled.  If the key binding is disabled the bind is rewritten in a way so that the bind sends a message to the client console but also in a way that the new bind string may be easily easily restored when the client wishes to play on a server that allows such binds. Specifically the bind is re-written to:  echo illegal macro: the_original_bind_with_;_replaced_with_:
If the client connects to a server which allows macros or if the server changes the value of m_ms to 0, then the old macros will be restored. This does, however, rely on the client not having edited the bind as re-written by the server.  the scanning of all keys happens approximately every second, so re-binding a disabled key will not be an effective way to continue to use macros that are illegal.  Scans are very quick and efficient and should not impact the client performance. A very convoluted attempt to hide macros behind multiple recursions of exec and vstr commands will only result in deeper scans which might eventually impact the performance of the client (and yet will ultimately succeed in disabling the macro).  Note that the macro scanner is not a full command parser. It makes some quick guesses to see if your binds are OK. If it gets confused because you have a very complicated set up, it will assume the worst and disable the bind. If this happens to you, please send me a note describing the problem and I can try to improve the scanner. 
   
 
 
 

This tutorial shows you how to install OpenJK or other similar clients like EternalJK, JAEnhanced, etc.
Download OpenJK for Jedi Academy
Since Jedi Academy is over 20 years old now, running it on modern hardware can be a bit of a challenge. On top of that, the default server list no longer works in the game, making it difficult to find servers to play on. To fix those issues, it is best to use a community patch or client to help get the most optimizations and features for the game.
OpenJK is a community-led project to make Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy code run with minimal bugs and on modern hardware. Many other clients have been made based on OpenJK but take it even further with new features.
Nowadays it is recommended to use a client called EternalJK to play Jedi Academy multiplayer, and JAEnhanced to play single player, but you can stick with OpenJK if you want as close to the classic game as possible.
This tutorial can be used for any of those clients, they are all mostly installed the same way. For this video I will be using OpenJK since it includes both single player and multiplayer and will get you casually playing either mode the easiest. If you plan on playing multiplayer a lot, EternalJK definitely should be downloaded instead.
I have to assume you already have Jedi Academy purchased in some way and have access to the game’s files in some way. If not, you can buy it on Steam or GOG.com, or even use the original disc if you have it. These clients will allow you to play without having the disc in the drive. All you need is the asset files.
Windows
Since the majority of people get the game from Steam, I will start with that process. Download the game on Steam as normal. Once installed, go to the library and right click the game, and go to Manage, then Browse local files. That should take you right to the game’s installation folder. Double click the Gamedata folder.
If you are using the GOG.com version, download the offline installer from the Games page, double click the installer and click through the steps. Once finished, click Exit. You’ll find the game folder for the GOG version in the C drive, under GOG Games. Go to the Jedi Academy folder, then Gamedata.
Now you can press Control N to open a new window and go to your downloads. Extract your OpenJK file to reveal the folder within, click into that folder, and select all files. Then simply drag all of those files into your Gamedata folder. You can replace any files it needs to.
Now all you have to do is double click on these two launchers and make sure they open up okay. Try each one and make sure they launch.
If they don’t launch, note the error you get and go to the end of the video for the common errors and how to fix them.
By default your configuration files and screenshots for OpenJK are located in your user Documents folder under My Games, then OpenJK. If you’d prefer to keep all of your configurations in one place like most people do, simply create a shortcut for the launcher by right clicking, create shortcut, then right click the new shortcut. Type
+set fs_homepath “.” then click Apply. You can then put that shortcut anywhere on your computer and it will save your configurations and screenshots to your gamedata OpenJK folder instead of a completely different folder.
Mac
Installing OpenJK on macOS can be tricky due to the 3 different categories you can find yourself in. If you have a newer Mac with an Apple chip like M1 or M2, there are now native versions you can use. If you have an older Intel-based Mac, the current build of OpenJK on JKHub should also work for you on macOS versions newer than Mojave. For Catalina or older, you will have to use an older build of OpenJK as of this video’s release. This video will focus on newer Apple chip Macs but the process should be the same for Intel, for the most part.
If you have the game on Steam, you’ll probably see a warning saying it is not compatible with your operating system, but it will let you install it anyway, which is all we need. Install the game, and then right click the game in the library sidebar, and go to Manage, then Browse local files. That should open you to show the app. Right click on the app and show package contents. Go to Contents, and your base folder should be there.
Now press Command N to open a new Finder window. Go up to the menu bar, and click the Go menu. Now old the Option or Alt key. You should see a Library option appear here. Click that while still holding that key. In Library, go to Application Support. Now you’re going to need to create a new folder here, and name it OpenJK. Go back to your other finder window with the base folder. Click and drag the base folder over to the new OpenJK folder in the other window.
Press Command N again to open another Finder window, and go to your Downloads folder and go into that OpenJK folder you downloaded at the beginning of this tutorial. Select both of the OpenJK apps in that folder and drag them over to your new OpenJK folder where that base folder now is at.
Now all you need to do is double click on those apps and they should launch. Test both apps to make sure both launch okay. You can also right click each of them and Make an Alias for them and put the shortcuts on your desktop for easy access, or drag them to your dock.
If the games don’t launch, make sure you named the OpenJK correctly and it is inside the Application Support folder and the base folder has asset pk3 files in them.

Linux
Installing OpenJK on Linux is essentially the same as on Windows now that Proton allows you to install Windows games. Follow the steps in the Windows section to get the files in the right spots.
Common errors
No crash or not compatible: Install SDL2
If you get an error when launching the game saying it is not compatible with your version of macOS, you'll probably need to install SDL2 via Homebrew.
Open the Terminal app (search or find it in Applications folder) and copy/paste this line:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" If you already had homebrew installed, you can simply update it like so:
brew update Then you can install SDL2:
brew install sdl2 Once that is done, try launching the game again and it should launch.
default.cfg
A common error people get when installing OpenJK is the "cannot find default.cfg" or "cannot find mpdefault.cfg". This just means that the app can’t find the asset files, which usually means you didn’t put the files in the right folder. Make sure the OpenJK.exe or .app is alongside the base folder and the base folder has the assets in it.

MSVCP140.DLL
Another common error is MSVCP140.DLL was not found. This is fixed by downloading the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 package.
VM_Create on UI failed
There are a couple errors like the VM_Create error, but it is usually a cause of lack of permissions. On Windows, try launching the game as administrator either by right clicking and choosing the option, or go to Properties, Compatibility, and check the box. If you see this error on Mac, you may need to give the app full disk access. Go to System settings, Privacy & Security, then Full Disk Access, then drag the app over to it.
 
If you have any other issues or questions, leave a new thread on the forum or head over to the JKCommunity discord and you should get some help pretty quickly.

JAPLUS SERVER CVARS
************************************

//--------client Side PLugin----------
- sv_pure (1 or 0):
JA+ is a  server side Mod for windows, linux and Mac which has the possibility to get a Client side plugin with pk3 files.
this plugin is designed to give UI, animation and feature enhancement to your client side game.
You are not obligated to install the plugins with the JA+ server side part to run a JA+ server.
 
If the JA+ server you play is PURE server (sv_pure 1), all players and the server will have to install this plugins to join this server.
so in this case the JA+ server is not server side anymore.
 
If the JA+ server you play is NOT PURE server (sv_pure 0), the server and players are not obligated to install this plugin to join the game.
So in this case the JA+ server remains a server side mod.
the server will recognize the players who have the plugins and will make them take advantage of it to have better animation, Ui and features.
The players who have not this plugins will be able to join but will not have those better things (and they won't see the difference with a normal server side JA+ ).
The fact that several players are running this plugin on a server where other players are not running it will not change and alter the gameplay of player.
PS: in sv_pure 0, all pk3 at client side can be used by the client: SO if the client has to many pk3, he may have problem with missing textures or joining the server.
 
 
- jp_cinfo :(bit value) this is a internal server cvar used by the server to send a lot of data compressed in one cvar to the clients.
if some important features configs are changed on the server, the jp_cinfo is updated.
those changes can be move cvars, attacks cvar, info on if everybody is using the plugin in impure server, .......etc....
you can't change the value of this cvar, this is changed only by the server.
 
 
//-------- High speed URL AutoDownload Redirect for needed Pk3 when connecting a server:------------------ 
this feature enable players to download with high speed the needed pk3 files (like maps, npc, vehicles, sabers...etc...) to be able to play on your server.
- jp_DlBaseURL ( URL default value ""  ex: value "http://www.japlus.net/japlus/" )
// jp_DlBaseURL is the equivalent to your gamedata folder.
// so if your server have a pk3 test.pk3 under the base folder and if you want people to be able download it, your Website must contain 
// this file at [jp_DlBaseURL]base/test.pk3  Exemple : http://www.japlus.net/japlus/base/test.pk3 .
// remember the server will only make player download the real needed files and not all files.
// PS : Player need the lastest JA+ Plugin 1.4 or above for this feature.
// to disable this feature, put a empty string "" as a value for this cvar.
// example of working redirect with a lot of maps already uploaded : seta jp_DlBaseURL "http://japlus.newboyzgaming.com/files/"
 
 
 
//--------Secured server section----------
- jp_maxConnFromIP (integer default 2): max number of connections per IPs. It prevent your server from beeing attacked with a fake player Denial of Service.
the use of those kind of Server attacks can lag your server (based on quake3 engine) terribly and even crash it.
Since this DoS attack program was released ( i prefer not to say where to find it for evident reason), server owners reported that some immature players are more and more 
using it to lag and crash servers.
 
- jp_userInfoAntiSpam (integer default 3) set to 0 to cancel the antispam of fast user info change. It controls the number of max fast user info changed to prevent spamming which may lead to client disconnection. When a player is trying to make a denial of service with fast user info changed, the player will be blocked. For admins, set up a higher value if you meet issues with client desynchronization with the server.
 
//--------AutoQuit Feature----------
-jp_autoQUIT "80-06:00" : desactivate it if you don't have an autoRestart script in your server. To desactivate it put seta jp_autoQUIT ""
it has been stated that basejka servers need to be restarted sometimes in order to increase performance.
This feature will make your server quit at a given date. Then your autoRestart script will restart the server.
By default  "80-06:00" means that your server will Quit after 80Hours of online run but it will wait for 06:00 in the morning (this is the date in your server).
People currenytly playing are warned 1 minute before the Quit. And the server ask them to use /reconnect.
 
//-------------Alternate DImension (no rules dimension for real ffa players)---------------------------
- jp_altDim (2, 1 or 0 default 2): activate or desactivate the alternate dimension (Only usuable in FFA and not in jedi vs merc)
0 : alternate dimension is desactivated
1 : it is activated and players are put in the first dimension when they connect to the server
2 : it is activated and players are put in the alternate dimension (real ffa dimension) when they connect to the server
 
Some clans are using FFA to set No laming rules in order to make trainings between Masters and their padawans
or to play with honour or in RPG Context....etc....Those Clans don't like that real FFA players (i.e players wanting only kill kill kill) come in their servers
and disturb the  trainings or unrespect the No laming server rules...etc. Thanks to this Alternate Dimension (controlled by jp_AltDim cvar),
all those various type of players will be able to play on the same server and at the same time. So if you set NO laming rules on your server, real ffa players can
play in the alternate dimension. Players can use the /amAltDim cmd to switch from one dimension to another. 
PLayers from a dimension can't interfere with players from another dimension.
Admins can also force a Player to go and stay in this Alternate dimension (/amForceAltDim , /amUnforceAltDim).
Admin cmds like sleep, ghost, mindtrick...etc.. are not usuable on people playing on this alternate dimension.
(only basic admin cmd like amkick, amban, amsilence...etc..are usuable on players in the alternate dimension). 
Competitive settings are also auto set for this alternate dimension.
If a player is slept or ghosted or any other admin cmd, he will have the possibility to go in the alternate dimension and he will be auto waken, unghosted...etc....
However this player will be also auto forced to stay in the alternate dimension.
Players from a dimension can invite another player from a different one to join his dimension using the engage duel key. 
PS: use the lastest plugin in order to have the best smoothy client prediction and nice effect for players in the opposite dimension.
 
- jp_altDimTimer (second : integer default 30 s) : this is the timer that you have to wait before the be allowed to change your dimension using amaltdim.
-jp_altDimInactivityTimer (second : integer default 8 s) : you will have to stay in inactivity during more than this amount of second in order to be allowed to change your dimension using amaltdim

    //---------- Anti cheat ----------- 
 
- jp_antiHackModel (1 or 0 default 1): prevent players from using models exploits without legs, head or torso with the head, torso, lower variation.
it also prevents at server side in team gametype from beeing in red while your team is blue (or the opposite)
 
 
- jp_macroScan (2, 1 or 0 default 0): allow/disallow the Macro scan module to avoid player cheat.
0: cheats not scanned for player using the plugin
1 : cheats scanned for all plugin users
2 : cheats only scanned if all players are using the plugin on the server.So basically it will be the case if:
*** server is sv_pure 1 and if the pluginv1.1 or above is installed on the server (so all players will have to install the plugin)...
*** or if all current players actually have the plugin1.1 or above installed.
 
The scanning system looks for all binded key that contains sequence of cmds that build macro cheat attacks or move hard to make without the binded key.
This scanning system has been improved compaired with the dueler one because it really scans all possible cheat script macro with move, weapon, attacks, combo move, combo force, combo attacks.
this system WILL NOT tell to everybody or log into the games.log that a player is cheating...it is not the purpose. This macro scan system will only disable the binded key at client side
and disable all possible cheat warning ONLY the cheater.
 
 
 
this macro scan is the Dueler mod system (here are the explanation of the dueler mod readme):
Many users have macros to change skins or hilts or rotate through taunts or select admin commands. These macros are not targeted. However, there are other macros that use movement and attack commands in special sequences to perform difficult manoeuvres flawlessly and effortlessly. A common example is: 
Blue Stance Lunge Macro: 
bind key "-forward;wait 2;+forward;wait 2;+movedown;+attack;wait 2;-attack;-movedown;-forward" 
this turns 'key' into a single click lunger (assuming you are in blue stance). 
These macros are targeted and disabled. Here is a description of how the scanning behaves to help you make your decision: 
a regular scan of all key bindings is made by the client.  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a series of commands then the series of commands is investigated. Most game bindings are from a key to a single command. The presence of the ';' character in a bind, tells the client that there is a sequence of commands.  The command sequence is scanned for the presence of any movement or attack commands. Specifically: +moveup, +attack, +forward, +back, and +movedown are illegal commands in the sequence  If these commands are found, the key binding is disabled  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a string that uses exec to read commands from a file, that file is inspected. If the file contains illegal commands (as above), the bind is disabled.  If during the scan a key is found that is bound to a string that uses vstr to evaluate the contents of a cvariable, the cvariable is inspected. If the cvariable contains illegal command (as above), the bind is disabled.  If the key binding is disabled the bind is rewritten in a way so that the bind sends a message to the client console but also in a way that the new bind string may be easily easily restored when the client wishes to play on a server that allows such binds. Specifically the bind is re-written to:  echo illegal macro: the_original_bind_with_;_replaced_with_:
If the client connects to a server which allows macros or if the server changes the value of m_ms to 0, then the old macros will be restored. This does, however, rely on the client not having edited the bind as re-written by the server.  the scanning of all keys happens approximately every second, so re-binding a disabled key will not be an effective way to continue to use macros that are illegal.  Scans are very quick and efficient and should not impact the client performance. A very convoluted attempt to hide macros behind multiple recursions of exec and vstr commands will only result in deeper scans which might eventually impact the performance of the client (and yet will ultimately succeed in disabling the macro).  Note that the macro scanner is not a full command parser. It makes some quick guesses to see if your binds are OK. If it gets confused because you have a very complicated set up, it will assume the worst and disable the bind. If this happens to you, please send me a note describing the problem and I can try to improve the scanner. 
   
 
 
 

There are two ways to achieve this, and each have their purpose.
 
NOTE: Server administrators can read these messages as well, so they are only private to other players.
 
The easy way, is used when you are near someone that you can easily see with your reticle.
Point your reticle at the person and press U
 
You have now initiated the private chat. Type your message and press enter. The text will be pink, indicating that it was a private message. This is only for people that are within sight. The default button is U. To change this, open the console and type /bind key messagemode3 and replace key with the key of your choice.
If you aren't near the person you want to chat with, it's a little more complicated, but is easy to remember.
Start by opening up the console (SHIFT + ~) and type:
/serverstatus
This will give you a list of all the players in the server, with a number to the far left of each name. Note the number of the person you want to chat with.
Then you just type:
/tell # your message
Replace # with the number you noted earlier, and replace your message with your message. Then press enter and your message should send in pink.
To save time in a lengthy chat, press the up arrow in the console to restore the previous command, and just delete your previous message, so you don't have to type /tell # every time, unless it's a long message.

There's always confusion regarding the requirements for audio files for JK2 and JKA. Hopefully this thread can lay it out plainly for those with issues. It's always recommended to use the free program called Audacity, since it can do a lot of simple things easily, and is cross platform. There is also a free web tool that people use nowadays as well here.
NOTE: there is a known issue with Audacity where it will export in the right settings but still not work properly. A silly workaround is to open up a similar sound from the JKA assets, delete the waveform, copy and paste the waveform from your sound into the asset sound and export that.
For voice audio files (either the cutscene lines or action lines in the misc folder):
MP3 Sample rate: 44100Hz (sometimes shown as 44.1kHz) Must be mono (1 channel, as opposed to stereo with 2 channels, left/right) Bitrate can be anything (higher the bitrate, the better quality, but bigger filesize - a good medium is 192kbps) For music audio files (for worldspawn music in the /music/ folder):
MP3 Sample rate: 44100Hz Must be stereo (2 channels, left/right) Bitrate can be anything For effects (weapons, force, environment):
Looping sounds (example: a fire burning, water running, or saber hum):
WAV Bit depth: 16 bit PCM Sample rate can be anything Must be mono Non-looping sounds:
Same as voice files ROQ Videos
PCM (Uncompressed) 22,050 Hz, 16bit Stereo

By default OpenJK and mods based off of it save the cfg and saves in the My Games folder in Documents on Windows 10 & 11, which isn't really ideal for most people, especially if you use OneDrive for your Documents folder. The best way to fix that and other permissions issues, or to just keep your Jedi Academy or Jedi Outcast folder clean and all together, is to set the fs_homepath to the folder that the game is in.
You can set the fs_homepath by creating a shortcut for the executable of the mod you're using. In this example I will be showing OpenJK. Right click the .exe and click "Create Shortcut" (if on Windows 11, go to Show More Options" which should then put a shortcut right next to it.

 
Rename the shortcut to whatever you want, I usually rename to OpenJK MP or SP.
Next right click the shortcut and go to Properties. In the box labeled Target, it should have the path to the .exe. Directly at the end of this line, insert this text:
+set fs_homepath "."  

 
This should now look in the direct folder that the exe is in to save cfg's and saves and other things.
Click apply and double click the shortcut to test it out. It will open a fresh cfg unless you go back to your Documents folder and copy your saves and cfg files from there into this folder.
You can also use this method for multiple JKA installs on your computer, in the above example I have it as my "Clean" setup for testing mods and settings on a pure vanilla install with no other mods. I have a handful of others for various reasons. Very underrated feature!

This tutorial shows you how to install OpenJK or other similar clients like EternalJK, JAEnhanced, etc.
Download OpenJK for Jedi Academy
Since Jedi Academy is over 20 years old now, running it on modern hardware can be a bit of a challenge. On top of that, the default server list no longer works in the game, making it difficult to find servers to play on. To fix those issues, it is best to use a community patch or client to help get the most optimizations and features for the game.
OpenJK is a community-led project to make Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy code run with minimal bugs and on modern hardware. Many other clients have been made based on OpenJK but take it even further with new features.
Nowadays it is recommended to use a client called EternalJK to play Jedi Academy multiplayer, and JAEnhanced to play single player, but you can stick with OpenJK if you want as close to the classic game as possible.
This tutorial can be used for any of those clients, they are all mostly installed the same way. For this video I will be using OpenJK since it includes both single player and multiplayer and will get you casually playing either mode the easiest. If you plan on playing multiplayer a lot, EternalJK definitely should be downloaded instead.
I have to assume you already have Jedi Academy purchased in some way and have access to the game’s files in some way. If not, you can buy it on Steam or GOG.com, or even use the original disc if you have it. These clients will allow you to play without having the disc in the drive. All you need is the asset files.
Windows
Since the majority of people get the game from Steam, I will start with that process. Download the game on Steam as normal. Once installed, go to the library and right click the game, and go to Manage, then Browse local files. That should take you right to the game’s installation folder. Double click the Gamedata folder.
If you are using the GOG.com version, download the offline installer from the Games page, double click the installer and click through the steps. Once finished, click Exit. You’ll find the game folder for the GOG version in the C drive, under GOG Games. Go to the Jedi Academy folder, then Gamedata.
Now you can press Control N to open a new window and go to your downloads. Extract your OpenJK file to reveal the folder within, click into that folder, and select all files. Then simply drag all of those files into your Gamedata folder. You can replace any files it needs to.
Now all you have to do is double click on these two launchers and make sure they open up okay. Try each one and make sure they launch.
If they don’t launch, note the error you get and go to the end of the video for the common errors and how to fix them.
By default your configuration files and screenshots for OpenJK are located in your user Documents folder under My Games, then OpenJK. If you’d prefer to keep all of your configurations in one place like most people do, simply create a shortcut for the launcher by right clicking, create shortcut, then right click the new shortcut. Type
+set fs_homepath “.” then click Apply. You can then put that shortcut anywhere on your computer and it will save your configurations and screenshots to your gamedata OpenJK folder instead of a completely different folder.
Mac
Installing OpenJK on macOS can be tricky due to the 3 different categories you can find yourself in. If you have a newer Mac with an Apple chip like M1 or M2, there are now native versions you can use. If you have an older Intel-based Mac, the current build of OpenJK on JKHub should also work for you on macOS versions newer than Mojave. For Catalina or older, you will have to use an older build of OpenJK as of this video’s release. This video will focus on newer Apple chip Macs but the process should be the same for Intel, for the most part.
If you have the game on Steam, you’ll probably see a warning saying it is not compatible with your operating system, but it will let you install it anyway, which is all we need. Install the game, and then right click the game in the library sidebar, and go to Manage, then Browse local files. That should open you to show the app. Right click on the app and show package contents. Go to Contents, and your base folder should be there.
Now press Command N to open a new Finder window. Go up to the menu bar, and click the Go menu. Now old the Option or Alt key. You should see a Library option appear here. Click that while still holding that key. In Library, go to Application Support. Now you’re going to need to create a new folder here, and name it OpenJK. Go back to your other finder window with the base folder. Click and drag the base folder over to the new OpenJK folder in the other window.
Press Command N again to open another Finder window, and go to your Downloads folder and go into that OpenJK folder you downloaded at the beginning of this tutorial. Select both of the OpenJK apps in that folder and drag them over to your new OpenJK folder where that base folder now is at.
Now all you need to do is double click on those apps and they should launch. Test both apps to make sure both launch okay. You can also right click each of them and Make an Alias for them and put the shortcuts on your desktop for easy access, or drag them to your dock.
If the games don’t launch, make sure you named the OpenJK correctly and it is inside the Application Support folder and the base folder has asset pk3 files in them.

Linux
Installing OpenJK on Linux is essentially the same as on Windows now that Proton allows you to install Windows games. Follow the steps in the Windows section to get the files in the right spots.
Common errors
No crash or not compatible: Install SDL2
If you get an error when launching the game saying it is not compatible with your version of macOS, you'll probably need to install SDL2 via Homebrew.
Open the Terminal app (search or find it in Applications folder) and copy/paste this line:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" If you already had homebrew installed, you can simply update it like so:
brew update Then you can install SDL2:
brew install sdl2 Once that is done, try launching the game again and it should launch.
default.cfg
A common error people get when installing OpenJK is the "cannot find default.cfg" or "cannot find mpdefault.cfg". This just means that the app can’t find the asset files, which usually means you didn’t put the files in the right folder. Make sure the OpenJK.exe or .app is alongside the base folder and the base folder has the assets in it.

MSVCP140.DLL
Another common error is MSVCP140.DLL was not found. This is fixed by downloading the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 package.
VM_Create on UI failed
There are a couple errors like the VM_Create error, but it is usually a cause of lack of permissions. On Windows, try launching the game as administrator either by right clicking and choosing the option, or go to Properties, Compatibility, and check the box. If you see this error on Mac, you may need to give the app full disk access. Go to System settings, Privacy & Security, then Full Disk Access, then drag the app over to it.
 
If you have any other issues or questions, leave a new thread on the forum or head over to the JKCommunity discord and you should get some help pretty quickly.

There is a critical issue with the popular player model, HS Anakin Skywalker. The alternative right hand doesn't show the blade of the lightsaber.

Fixing this is very simple. You need a PK3 editor like Pakscape.

To start, you obviously need the model. You can download it here:
 
 
The issue is with the non-gloved hand on the Episode II model. So for reskins of this model that use that hand, follow this same procedure but in your skin's directory.



Open the HS_Anakin.pk3 file.

Go to models > players > hs_anakin_e2

If you're in Pakscape, drag the file model_default.skin to your desktop so you can edit it.

Open the file model_default.skin with any text editor like NotePad or TextEdit

Locate this line:
r_hand,*off


Remove the * from that line so it now says:
r_hand,off


Now save it. Drag it back into the pk3 in Pakscape.

You can do the same thing for the model_blue.skin and model_red.skin team skin files.

Now save the pk3, put it in your base folder and you should be good to go!

If you'd like to watch a video to help you along, this one covers OpenJK but the process should be the same with EternalJK.
Why are there no servers on Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy? The server list is empty.
If you just launched the game on Steam or GOG or wherever else you bought this game, chances are you went to find a server to join but the server list is empty. Don't worry, there are still plenty of servers to play on! This blank list just means that the official master server that all other servers ping to is currently down. Luckily, the community has come together to help keep the multiplayer alive by hosting their own master server and running a game client that can show it by default.
A new game client: EternalJK
Ever since the game's source code released back in 2013, a project called OpenJK began to fix some bugs and improve compatibility with modern systems. From that project spawned many other projects to take many steps further to improve the Jedi Academy experience. The best one to use for playing multiplayer is called EternalJK. It includes many nice features, but the most important one in this case is it will show servers that ping to the community master servers.
Download at the link below:
Latest version of EternalJK
And then follow this guide to install EternalJK on Windows:
How to install EternalJK or OpenJK on Windows 10
If you get the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" then download the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable here:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 [mirror]

Amazon Games recently released Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy on their Prime Gaming launcher, but it has problems launching the games and also is completely missing multiplayer. You can easily get around this by using community-built clients to play the game.
Before you start this process, make sure you do try launching the games first, even if you know they will crash. It will install DirectX and other dependencies for the base game that these clients will still need.
Video tutorial here:
JK2 • Jedi Outcast
For singleplayer, you will want to use OpenJO (OpenJK). For multiplayer you'll need JK2MV. Here are the steps to download and install them so you can get to playing the game.
Download OpenJO for Jedi Outcast singleplayer [mirror]
Download JK2MV for Jedi Outcast multplayer [mirror]
Navigate to your Amazon Games library and find the JK2 directory. By default it should be in C:\Amazon Games\Library\STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT II
Now open a new explorer window and go to your Downloads folder so you have both the Downloads folder and game folder open. You're going to drag the files from one window to the other. You can also just copy and paste.
Open the OpenJO ZIP file, which should contain a bunch of files in it. Select all the files at once either by hitting CONTROL + A or drag to select. With them all selected, drag them into the STAR WARS Jedi Knight II folder. If it asks you to replace a file, do it.
Now go back to the Downloads folder and open the JK2MV ZIP file. Same process, but this one has a "base" folder in it. You will need to copy the files inside that base folder and paste them into the base folder that is in the STAR WARS Jedi Knight II folder. If you just drag it over, be sure you aren't replacing the folder, as it contains all of the game's assets. Only merge them.
Now you have them installed, if you double click on the openjo_sp.x86.exe file, it should launch the game in a small window.
If you get the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" then download the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable here:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 [mirror]
After that is installed, try launching OpenJO again. If that launches, close and try launching jk2mvmp.exe to make sure that launches as well.
If both launch okay, I recommend right clicking both individually and go to "Send to" > Desktop (Create shortcut) so they are found on the desktop. Rename them to JK2 SP and JK2 MP for simplicity.
If you open the game and struggle to set your resolution, use this tutorial.
JKA • Jedi Academy
For Jedi Academy singleplayer, the game on Amazon Games appears to launch just fine, so if you're content with that, you can skip the OpenJK portion and only focus on the EternalJK portion if you're interested in multiplayer. However, the client I will show you how to install does have a ton of benefits like bug fixes, optimization, and features that the base singleplayer game won't have.
Start by downloading the latest Windows zip file from this link. It will always be the top-most in the list.
Download OpenJK for Jedi Academy
For Multiplayer, download EternalJK (eternaljk-win32-portable.zip) below.
Download EternalJK for Jedi Academy Multiplayer
Navigate to your Amazon Games library and find the JKA directory. By default it should be in C:\Amazon Games\Library\STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT JEDI ACADEMY
Now open a new explorer window and go to your Downloads folder so you have both the Downloads folder and game folder open. You're going to drag the files from one window to the other. You can also just copy and paste.
Open the OpenJK ZIP file, which should contain a bunch of files in it. Select all the files at once either by hitting CONTROL + A or drag to select. With them all selected, drag them into the STAR WARS Jedi Knight Jedi Academy folder. If it asks you to replace a file, do it.
Now for multiplayer go back to the Downloads folder and open the EternalJK ZIP file. Same process, including the "EternalJK" folder. If it asks you to replace files, you can but you shouldn't need to if you did OpenJK already. If you didn't do OpenJK, replace. They share those same files, to my knowledge.
Now you have them installed, if you double click on the openjk_sp.x86.exe file, it should launch the singleplayer portion of the game in a small window.
If you get the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" then download the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable here:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 [mirror]
After that is installed, try launching OpenJK again. If that launches, close and try launching eternaljk.x86.exe to make sure that launches as well.
If you get the prompt from Windows asking you to allow the application on your private network but it won't let you click it, you can hit ALT + TAB or Windows key + TAB to minimize the game. Click the checkbox next to private and Allow Access. Then you can go back to the game just fine and it will let you join servers.
If both launch okay, I recommend right clicking both individually and go to "Send to" > Desktop (Create shortcut) so they are found on the desktop. Rename them to JKA SP and JKA MP for simplicity.
If you open the game and struggle to set your resolution, use this tutorial.
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 saves and config files for OpenJK are in Documents/My Games/OpenJK.
If you end up having any issues or get stuck, please comment below, post on our Tech Support forum, or join the Jedi Knight Discord and people should be able to help you out!

JKA • Jedi Academy
For Jedi Academy singleplayer, the game on Amazon Games appears to launch just fine, so if you're content with that, you can skip the OpenJK portion and only focus on the EternalJK portion if you're interested in multiplayer. However, the client I will show you how to install does have a ton of benefits like bug fixes, optimization, and features that the base singleplayer game won't have.
Start by downloading the latest Windows zip file from this link. It will always be the top-most in the list.
Download OpenJK for Jedi Academy
For Multiplayer, download EternalJK (eternaljk-win32-portable.zip) below.
Download EternalJK for Jedi Academy Multiplayer
Navigate to your Amazon Games library and find the JKA directory. By default it should be in C:\Amazon Games\Library\STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT JEDI ACADEMY
Now open a new explorer window and go to your Downloads folder so you have both the Downloads folder and game folder open. You're going to drag the files from one window to the other. You can also just copy and paste.
Open the OpenJK ZIP file, which should contain a bunch of files in it. Select all the files at once either by hitting CONTROL + A or drag to select. With them all selected, drag them into the STAR WARS Jedi Knight Jedi Academy folder. If it asks you to replace a file, do it.
Now for multiplayer go back to the Downloads folder and open the EternalJK ZIP file. Same process, including the "EternalJK" folder. If it asks you to replace files, you can but you shouldn't need to if you did OpenJK already. If you didn't do OpenJK, replace. They share those same files, to my knowledge.
Now you have them installed, if you double click on the openjk_sp.x86.exe file, it should launch the singleplayer portion of the game in a small window.
If you get the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" then download the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable here:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 [mirror]
After that is installed, try launching OpenJK again. If that launches, close and try launching eternaljk.x86.exe to make sure that launches as well.
If you get the prompt from Windows asking you to allow the application on your private network but it won't let you click it, you can hit ALT + TAB or Windows key + TAB to minimize the game. Click the checkbox next to private and Allow Access. Then you can go back to the game just fine and it will let you join servers.
If both launch okay, I recommend right clicking both individually and go to "Send to" > Desktop (Create shortcut) so they are found on the desktop. Rename them to JKA SP and JKA MP for simplicity.
If you open the game and struggle to set your resolution, use this tutorial.
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 saves and config files for OpenJK are in Documents/My Games/OpenJK.

Amazon Games recently released Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy on their Prime Gaming launcher, but it has problems launching the games and also is completely missing multiplayer. You can easily get around this by using community-built clients to play the game.
Before you start this process, make sure you do try launching the games first, even if you know they will crash. It will install DirectX and other dependencies for the base game that these clients will still need.

JK2 • Jedi Outcast
For singleplayer, you will want to use OpenJO (OpenJK). For multiplayer you'll need JK2MV. Here are the steps to download and install them so you can get to playing the game.
Download OpenJO for Jedi Outcast singleplayer [mirror]
Download JK2MV for Jedi Outcast multplayer [mirror]
Navigate to your Amazon Games library and find the JK2 directory. By default it should be in C:\Amazon Games\Library\STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT II
Now open a new explorer window and go to your Downloads folder so you have both the Downloads folder and game folder open. You're going to drag the files from one window to the other. You can also just copy and paste.
Open the OpenJO ZIP file, which should contain a bunch of files in it. Select all the files at once either by hitting CONTROL + A or drag to select. With them all selected, drag them into the STAR WARS Jedi Knight II folder. If it asks you to replace a file, do it.
Now go back to the Downloads folder and open the JK2MV ZIP file. Same process, but this one has a "base" folder in it. You will need to copy the files inside that base folder and paste them into the base folder that is in the STAR WARS Jedi Knight II folder. If you just drag it over, be sure you aren't replacing the folder, as it contains all of the game's assets. Only merge them.
Now you have them installed, if you double click on the openjo_sp.x86.exe file, it should launch the game in a small window.
If you get the error "MSVCP140.dll was not found" then download the x86 version of Visual C++ Redistributable here:

The Basics
This page will help you get started with mapping and level design. This first section will list the thing's you'll be required to download and provide a little information on setup and things to pay attention to. If you have questions, use Google. Google is your friend. You can find the answer to pretty much anything. Also, please take advantage of the large selection of tutorials here on JKHub.
(This is all for idtech engine games, if you want to map for other games such as games on the unreal engine this will be partly useless)
What you need to download:
GTKRadiant /NetRadiant: Traditionally the preferred version is 1.4.0 over the newer versions such as 1.5.0 & 1.6.x, and most tutorials are based off of this version. However that is no longer a concern and the newest version should be familiar enough using older tutorials. However, in recent years modders have moved onto a new Radiant build called NetRadiant-Custom (NRC for short). This has more features, better compatibility with modern operating systems and hardware, etc. It is highly recommended to try that out. It might look slightly different from GTK tutorials show but it should be familiar enough. Download NetRadiant-Custom here and check out this in-depth mapping tutorial on mapping with NRC.
Pakscape: Assets in the Quake3 engine are stored in archives in the pk3 format. Pakscape allows you to easily create new PK3's, or modify existing ones. All your files need to be stored in PK3's in the base folder in order for the game to use them.
The Jedi Academy SDK: This is the source code for the multiplayer engine, plus various tools used in the design process. Specifically when it comes to mapping you'll be using BehaveD and EffectsEd a lot. They are both included in this SDK under the tools folder. There are a number of other useful tools included such as Assimilate/Carcass (compiling glm for models), and MD3 view for viewing MD3 models and their animations. ShaderED is included but if you need to make your own shaders, learn how to do it with notepad. ShaderED is extremely outdated and will do you more harm than good.
Q3map2GUI: This is an EXTREMELY useful tool created by Darth Norman. q3map2 is the command line compiler for maps. This GUI makes it so you can easily edit the compile options from an interface instead of painstakingly editing command lines yourself. This tutorial explains how to use it.
EasyGen: EasyGen is a program that can generate an entire terrain for you entirely from an 8-bit bitmap. Once it generates the terrain you can easily paint textures onto it and then export an alphamap+metashader to provide a seemlessly blended terrain.
GIMP: You will eventually find the need to modify textures, or make your own. In order to do so you need an efficient image editor. The ideal image editor is Adobe Photoshop, but that can be expensive and most people would rather have a free alternative. This is where GIMP comes in. GIMP has a variety of user friendly tools for the beginner to accomplish much. There are various tutorials out there on the internet on how to use GIMP, making it even easier to learn.
Blender: Blender is an open source, free modeling program. The UI is kind of confusing at first and it isn't as efficient at UVUnwraping as 3DS or Maya, but it get's the job done. If you want to make fully UV mapped MD3 map_objects you'll need this program. You can also create your own character models if you wish, but that is advanced work. There are a HUNDREDS of tutorials out there for 3D modeling in Blender. YouTube is a great source for many of them. 3D modeling is hard, but when you get the hang of it, it becomes an invaluable tool in your arsenal. NOTE: If you download Blender, you will need mrwonko/Cagelight's Jedi Academy Plugin Suite. It's the only way to work with Jedi Academy's files (.md3, .map, .ase). Check out the modeling tutorial section for more of those.

RichDiesal's Mapping University
The RichDiesal Mapping University / RichDiesal's JK2Radiant MapSource was regarded by many across the community as the best set of tutorials for beginners and advanced mappers to learn from. Some time in 2010 when Map-Craft went down, RichDiesal's tutorials went down along with it. But now we have revived it thanks to users that kept backups! Please note that some images and links still do not work, as some files that were hosted on Map-Craft were not recovered. All the tutorials should still be usable and doable.
MUG's Video Tutorials
This series will teach you everything you need to know to make maps from the ground up.
JKHub Mapping Tutorials
There are many tutorials that have been written exclusively for or provided to JKHub by various members and mappers. These can be truly invaluable to anyone that makes maps for the Jedi Knight games. Chances are, if you have a question, they can be answered by reading or watching these tutorials.

World of Level Design
There are many wonderful sites that have great tutorials on level design. World of Level Design ranks up there as one of the best resources for learning how to design maps in a logical and fun way.

Designing Multiplayer Maps
This is a small handbook that explains the logic and methods used to design maps for multiplayer game modes.

Create a new text file in Notepad with this:
JA:
q3map2 -game ja -convert -format map testmap.bsp JK2:
q3map2 -game jk2 -convert -format map testmap.bsp it's as easy as that. chuck this into a text file, edit the .bsp name to suit your needs and save it as decompile.bat
then put your new .bat file intothe q3map2 directory and drop your bsp into the same folder and voila, you decompiled a map.
 
Light entities and texture alignment can be lost in the process though. Same goes for misc_model entities I think.

This is just a quick guide of how to get started with modding Jedi Academy. Or rather, a list of guides and resources to get you started. These can be found in this tutorial forum on your own, but this is the best way to start, from the easiest to more complicated. Start simple and work your way up.
 
Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy run on the same engine, so most of what you learn here will translate to both games. Only a couple things are slightly different in the assets and mapping side. If you dive into the coding side, there will be many more differences.
 
If there are topics not covered here that you wish to learn, my best advice is to download a similar mod and look at how they did it. File and folder structure are what you need to look at for simple mods.
 
PK3 Files
Both games use PK3 files for assets. If you have downloaded a mod, it was hopefully a .pk3 file that you put in your base folder. You may have noticed that the game's base folder has 4 pk3 files already: assets0-3.pk3.Those are where all of the game's assets and configuration files are located. Learn about pk3 files here:
Installing, editing and managing PK3 files Basics of NPCs
NPC is an acronym for Non-Playable Character. In the JK games, that means characters like stormtroopers, mercs, Tusken raiders, etc. Enemies and friendly characters that aren't the player. The concept of editing or adding NPCs is very easy, especially if you've done any coding before. Both games have the same system, however in Jedi Outcast, all NPCs are listed in the npc.cfg file. In Academy, they are listed separately in .npc files. Learn about them here:
The Basics of NPC Files Skinning
In the modding world, skin is the term given to the textures of a 3D model, like a character or weapon. Skinning means changing or creating your own textures for a model. It's as easy as opening one of the textures in MS Paint and drawing on it (as a simple example). You can learn how at these tutorials:
Inyri's guide to how to compile a skin Milamber's skinning guide Rooxon's quick re-color tutorial Omicron's skinning tutorial #1 Omicron's skinning tutorial #2 MUG's guide to skinning Mapping
Most people would say to move to modeling after skinning, as a natural progression of knowledge, but I think mapping is easier to learn than modeling, personally. The biggest thing that will set you back with mapping is the program used to create maps: GTK Radiant. It's not the most user friendly program, and it's still very dated compared to modern tools. I already made a list of good guides. I recommend starting with RichDiesal's guide.
JKHub Mapping Resources Modeling
This can potentially be the hardest to learn, simply because it takes a long time to gain the skill to create something worthwhile. It takes lots of practice if you've never done it before. I recommend starting with the free program called Blender, mostly because it's free, but also because there is a plugin that makes it easy to import and export .glm files. Otherwise the main program used is 3DS Max, which you can get the student version for free, as well. A term you will come across is often is "frankensteining" or "kitbashing" which essentially mean taking parts from models and combining them into one model. It's a great place for getting to know how modeling works.
Rooxon's Basic Saber crafting tutorial (3DS Max) Rooxon's Advanced Saber crafting tutorial (3DS Max) Maui's Frankensteining tutorial (Blender) Milamber's modeling tutorial Boothand's modeling tutorial Coding
Coding is difficult. You're not going to be able to read one or two tutorials and know how to achieve what you want. It takes time to learn. In the early days of JK2 and JKA, the only code we had access to was the multiplayer source code. In 2013, Raven released the source code to the whole game, of JK2 and JKA, so you can essentially do whatever you want to the game (essentially). I'm no coder, so any coders that want to give me good resources to list here, please do so.
