Yes. It does affect saber locking and a few other things. They really messed up the offense power though. In JK2, offense 1-5 gave a new stance for each rank. In JKA, they used a sort of mask of usable stances (iirc in SP)

Doubt it, and you can't play online with a crack anyhow. Just use a virtual disc and it should work fine etc As for servers not showing up, either the master server is down (entirely likely) or your firewall isn't permitting you to send packets to the master server.

try updating to latest drivers

one does not simply disable directx also, directx is only used for sound in JA so it's a moot point

Yes. It automatically gets a new list any time you hit the source button.

er, the patch won't operate the same way as an official ravensoft one. I don't think anyway. I could be wrong on that.

And I have code here which allows you to switch between any 5 master servers in the Join Server dialogue. So there you go etc

when you believe hard enough and dig deep enough, all of your dreams will come true

That's not too hard to do actually. There's one running on this site. It's just a matter of using an executable such as jampded on it. If you get a server though, I suggest people point to master.jkhub.org. It's a lot more reliable than ravensoft's stuff, and can be put over those crappy gamespy things.

It shows up in QTracker, correct, just not to JA's server list. It's a one way master server in a sense.

I'm using my master server setup which allows me to actually ping servers and test their master server functionality, NOT their actual existence (try pinging master0.gamespy.com, it shows up but the actual master server is non functional). This is regardless of what QTracker lists because it's similar to All Seeing Eye, not a JA master server.

Down according to JA.

we have been distributing the serverside to trusted parties already been notified Can be done already. Forgot to mention this. Just change the sv_masterX cvars on the client. The source list goes in this order: * Local * Master1 * Favorites * Master2 * Master3 * Master4 * Master5 If you want to change the display, all you have to do is change the string in mp_ingame.str. If sv_masterX is blank, then that entry will be skipped in the list. one does not simply "insert code into game" without worrying about mods and the like

The code for this should drop in JKG relatively soon. It's available in the ultra secret code bunker of this forum.

It will show up in my super-not-secret master server switcher. JKHub's master server is lightyears more stable and reliable than what Raven offers also, so if more people added it, it would be shown.

No. Well, maybe. Depends on how Raven's Master Server works, but I'm willing to bet that that is kinda unrelated. BTW, found out that JKHub has their own master server. Adding that.

Can't even use C for Metro apps, so not really surprising.

MS unfortunately doesn't offer C++ certification anymore, only C# (what has the world come to, srsly). That's a moot point anyway, since you need to be in a classroom setting in order to become certified.

Here's what I found: JA Master Server: 128 servers JA Master Server (IP address): 128 servers JKHub (master.jkhub.org): Alive, 3 servers. master.qtracker.com - DEAD 204.97.248.90 - DEAD clanservers.net - DEAD master0.gamespy.com - DEAD If anyone wants me to check if any other master servers are working, let me know. EDIT: That means for you server hosts... Those sv_master2-5? Toss them. They're not needed unless a new master server pops up because those URLs are dead (and gamespy has been dead for at least 3 years now). sv_master6 and upwards do not exist.

Saber offense DOES add saber styles. It only adds them if you're using a single saber. Ranks 6 and 7 are bugged, they only exist because of a bug where the saber offense max cap is not set correctly (MAX_SABER_STYLES, which worked fine in JK2. Since JKA added two stances which add on to rank 3, this is broken). Since stances are technically added on to instead of changed, it's likely that the entire system is totally broken for stances because they did not do this correctly in a few spots (such as stance changing) Ranks 4 and 5 add Tavion and Desann stances, respectively, which are unused in JA. Changing from Desann to Blue does not work, you are stuck at Desann.

I'm intrigued by these source textures.

Would be cool if you made this into another third party map for JKG. We have a gun which looks a lot like/is similar to the Doom 3 plasma cannon.

cannot send PM, it's telling me that the title must be more than 2 characters in length

Looks like Doom 3. I'm guessing that's your inspiration?

That's a bit complicated. The server IPs use a series of bytes followed by dots (and each byte is 8 bits) So really what you'd almost need to do is set it at 31, I think. It depends on what the two IP addresses are. If they're right next to each other, then.. 192.168.1.1/31 would cover 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 (i think. don't hold me to this)
