This head is turning out pretty decent. I'd do something about the back of the head though.

Do you have any animators already on board, sounds like a lot of work for just 1 person to take on.

Some work has already been done in this field. It's mostly just improving upon what we have.

Vent or gtfo.

Side note:

I've got to say, the Mumble thing looks neat. And it's available for iOS, so I can make use of my superior iPod microphone.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

From his post on Gamefront:

I made it with Softimage 2013 since I qualified for a student license so a free upgrade was hard to turn away from, if anyone has this version and would like to play around with the file lmk.

UU master race, etc

Very nice!

I assume you'll be able to export to .xsi and run it through Carcass just like before?

It wasn't so much their jampded.exe as their server setup being a fail completely. The server won't even start up.

Hypernia is running a little bit of a shady operation.

They tried to host us (JKG) a server with a faulty jampded.exe, and won't give us a refund.

u_u

wait, so its not like modifying the SP code, cuz u have a whole new core? im not good with coding, but in lamens, is it like that? kind of working around the no SP code, by creating a whole new Sp engine? or more like adding coding to the existing engine? sorry im code n00b

In layman's terms, you're replacing bits and pieces of the core with code that you've written yourself. Usually whole functions, etc.

So I thought I would give the mod another shot as i didn't really give it a chance the first time. When I download the zip from the hub it crashes when it tries to connect, when I try the launcher, it crashes on the installer. Any suggestions as to how to actually make it work?

The download servers are still under a high level of stress. We're working diligently to get them move over to a JKHub setup which will be more stable.

Thank ye, @@minilogoguy18. I'll have to check this later when i'm not OMGSWAMPED with JKG.

Release dates are always a bitch. I would sympaphise, if it wasn't for fact that after all your mess with the launch, the game crashes on start up, and I still can't try it out xD

It should be considerably more stable after the end of the week. Much, much more stable. There was a lot of chaos. After we get the next major revision out the door, it should be stable.

dunno why but after clientupdate patch i cant play.

Should now be fixed.

Seems legit.

Appears to be a KOTF knock-off. Guy is claiming to have made models for Gunslinger's Academy. What a retard.

As per the news post on this site, I regret to be the bearer of such an ill-fated release. I'd like to apologize for the dozens (if not hundreds) of people that were displaced by JKG's release fiasco. Allow me to explain.

See, we were always developing the mod, but skimped out a little when it came down to the nitty gritty. As a result of a lack of foresight and stress testing measures performed by our staff, TerranGaming was forced to be shut down whenever the floodgates of people came. To make matters worse, the ZIP version of our mod still has yet to become available on Moddb.

In hindsight, we probably also should not have had to force our server issues on Cael. We only did so because it was delaying the mod further. The main reason we were delayed was because Kimsufi (our dedicated server provider) refused to give service to our mod team due to nationality (team leader is Swedish, they only accept US, Canada, UK and Ireland).

In short, it was a mess. Things were further exacerbated by the fact that trying to move the launcher packages in one quick go caused a bit of chaos in the system, but I am working on controlling that. Let the records show however that I do know PHP, just very little of it.

Hopefully you can see past the launch issues and will play with us some more in the future.

...that came out bad.

Today I was inspired by a man who told me, "They will not care if it takes forever, or if [the release] is marred by issues. It is the goal and what you make of yourself that matters."

Afaik it should define the amount of memory the game is using from your computer

It defines the stack memory (not the heap memory) that the game is allowed to use. This code was commented out in JA, because in JA they use a modified memory system.

Hasn't this been known for years and years though? =P

But aye, useful info, sadly I still see it being used by server hosts.. tehehe.

Not really. There's /still/ threads on the MB2 forums (lol @@BobaFett..too right) which recommend adding com_hunkmegs to your standard server config..when it doesn't even do anything. Also, the only reason I bring this up is to quell any sort of rumor that this cvar does anything (had it referenced in a recent thread so I figured I might as well throw this out there)

My sources tell me that iojamp is now capable of connecting to a regular JA server with no issue (aside from Ghoul2 console spam). Thanks to @@Scooper for this.

com_hunkmegs doesn't actually do anything. It's a useless cvar in the game.

Also, I'm not surprised by the cg_g2marksonallmodels thing.

As far as hijacking 4 bytes, it's just a matter of rewriting two instructions in the code via proxy DLL. I'll have to do some tests to confirm that this is where things are actually causing the issues, but I find it retarded (there I said it) that they allocated a different amount of memory in SP than in MP.

...Com_Hunkmegs doesn't actually do anything.

That's right, this little red herring of a cvar doesn't actually do anything, despite what others may have told you. It's a myth. Myself and others have determined up and down that by searching the engine, com_hunkmegs doesn't actually have any sort of effect on the game whatsoever. The cvar is initialized, but never used nor called nor needed.

Same concept strangely more alluring.

To the creator of the video: TALK LOUDER PLZ

that is all.

The exact error is "Ran out of transform space for Ghoul2 Models. Adjust MiniHeapSize in SV_SpawnServer.", and it comes with a handy little suggestion as to how to fix the problem. Unfortunately, Raven copy-pasta'd that text, so it's actually not as friendly as it might come off to be. IDA says this exact text is called in two different functions (base address + 0x004D94B0 / 0x004D9980 / jasp.exe ... get cracking @@Scooper ( )). To make matters worse, they stored the memory storage in bytes (and then multiply by 20 for some reason) in the code.

I managed to do a backtrace and found out that the game makes a call to Z_Malloc with an approximate size of 132096 bytes. (Z_Malloc has a different declaration in jasp.exe than in jamp.exe/Q3, more on this in a moment) It can be found in sub_439F00 at [base address +] 0x0043A083 and 0x0043A09F (PUSH instruction and MOV instruction, respectively)

Z_Malloc in jasp.exe works like a modified version of Z_TagMalloc with the exception that it has an added third arg which changes the method that it uses to allocate memory in the game (???). The declaration can therefore be made to look like this:

void __cdecl *Z_Malloc(int size, int tag, qboolean useModifiedMethod);

tl;dr / non-coder version: It can be modified by possibly hijacking 4 bytes in jasp.exe, but could trigger the CD key check (unless done via a proxy DLL).

For temporary solutions: try disabling cg_g2marksonallmodels and see if that does anything.

Why they decided to name an engine cvar with cg_ in front of it is pretty retarded in all actuality.

EDIT: So just for shits and giggles I decided to do a backtrace of the function in MP as well. The reason why this doesn't happen in MP is because they literally doubled the size to allocate for memory between SP and MP..just another example of how things are so badly synced between SP and MP.

Also note, 0x004D94B0 / 0x004D9980 can cause infinite recursion / stack overflow under certain circumstances. Beware.

We're not talking about rigging (although that's a bit unclear for some people such as myself but I think such tuts exist) specifically, but rather the making of animations using XSI instead of Dragon. Although there is a way to do it in XSI, a lot of the information behind it is yet unclear.
