Thanks, I will check it out. EDIT: Where does this occur? Can you give some more details?

I've started work on getting JK2:Enhanced working using rend2, based on SomaZ's work with DF2 mod (which made me realize how much code is actually shared between the two projects, interestingly enough). Currently so far I've got it merged in a rend2-sp branch. Current status: it crashes upon startup with this error: https://pastebin.com/Gcpqphqq

It's going to be a branch for right now.

The source code for all of the JK:Enhanced is now on one codebase. The OP has been updated with this information.

That would mean it's failing anywhere in this chunk of code: Cmd_Init (); Cvar_Init (); // get the commandline cvars set Com_StartupVariable( NULL ); // done early so bind command exists CL_InitKeyCommands(); #ifdef _XBOX extern void Sys_FilecodeScan_f(); Sys_InitFileCodes(); Cmd_AddCommand("filecodes", Sys_FilecodeScan_f); extern void Sys_StreamInit(); Sys_StreamInit(); // This just forces the static singleton in the function to call // its constructor, which allocates a stupid 12 byte block of // memory that never gets freed.

Removed a lot of pointless drama here (10+ posts), but bottom line: when a file says as its license, "Other players may not share or modify this work." that means you don't share or modify the work. Likewise, you don't attack people for their decision to license such a work that way. That's their decision, and their right to defend their work. If you don't understand that or why that's bad, that's your problem, not theirs. Let's keep it civil now and stay on topic.

Which screen does it fail at? Before the license screen? After the license screen?

@@Teancum here, try this version out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjymtlvp7e29jlu/gobconvert_test.zip?dl=0 You'll want to specify compression level in the commandline with the argument: gobconvert.exe <filename.zip> -compress=<number from 0 to 9> So for instance: gobconvert.exe assets_mp.zip -compress=1

Thread(s) merged.

I think it'd make more sense to pursue a hilt system like Jedi Academy, but that's just me.

I didn't think the game had backwards compatibility?

Are you running it on a physical device or are you using an emulator (XDK?)

zlib's compression algorithm doesn't change across versions, it's the same every time, otherwise you'd get issues with extraction for every application that uses zlib (and there are a lot). I tried it with all 9 compression levels and it never produced anything that had the same size as the original archive, always either smaller (with compression) or larger (without compression). I ran `gobextract <> <> -noextract -echodata -debug` to see if there was any differences between the two files and they both validated correctly, although the converted assets had backslashes and a leading dot in front of them, so for example: Mine: botfiles/alora.jkb Theirs: .\botfiles\alora.jkb That alone couldn't cause freezing though, because the filesystem is smart enough to handle the paths correctly (at least this is the case on the pc version) EDIT: Oh yeah, nope. That would definitely cause a problem. The filename is hashed and compared to other files in the file control table...that was my bad I'll make some modifications and do a third revision, with a couple of planned features: gobconvert: ability to specify how compressed you want it to be with -level=X (scale of 0 to 9, 1 default, 0 for totally uncompressed)gobextract: drag and drop support, output argument optional (defaults to ./out/)EDIT #2: In the meantime @@Teancum, could you test this for me? It should have the correct paths: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aozovacngesuyv5/gobconvert_test.zip?dl=0

I used simply zlib's compress() function. It must not play nice with that for some reason. Try using gobconvett and then gobextract to verify all of the files got added.

Yep, JK2 MP maps will work in Jedi Academy as long as the textures and shaders exist for it. SP maps, not so much. You can see my efforts in reverse engineering the JA SP game prior to the source release to load the JK2 SP maps with the JK2:Uncut mod: https://jkhub.org/files/file/1018-%7B%3F%7D/ https://jkhub.org/files/file/1024-%7B%3F%7D/

Keep in mind, you'll need to make some modifications that are specific to the console you're working with. So as a result, you'll need to edit a _console_dir_list_ file in models/players (although I'm not sure this is actually used by the game) and you'll need to make sure your textures are the correct format for the console - DDS for xbox and TDF for gamecube. For maps you'll need to break the BSP into its component lumps (the code for it exists in the xbox code).

v2 of the GOB tools is out now, it has gobconvert in it. I think that's about all that people should need to do console modding. Eat your hearts out etc

It's a proprietary format so most likely not.

Dude. Holy fuck. Wrote gobconvert which converts a PK3 directly into a GOB and GFC, and now I can understand why they decided to use this format. As a baseline, I'll use hdassets0.pk3 from JK2:Enhanced. No compression: 23,261,184 bytes (0% compression ratio)PK3/Minizip compression: 18,108,416 bytes (22.15% compression ratio)GOB file (jediCodec, bitmask 1): 1,249,280 bytes (94.6% compression ratio)RAR ("best" quality): 528,679 bytes (97.72% compression ratio)GOB is pretty damn good, suprisingly. Next version will be coming out soon hopefully. I just need to finish up some stuff and it'll be good to go.

Released first version: https://jkhub.org/files/file/3234-unofficial-vicarious-visions-gob-tools/ gobextract: a tool for extracting content from .gob/gfc files.

There is no real reason, honestly. You're probably better off putting stuff in gclient_t instead of the playerstate.

I got it to print out a list of all of the files in the JA Xbox version. I don't have access to a JK2 Xbox version, and the Gamecube JK2 version has some odd quirks (the file count is absurdly high, so there's something obfuscating the actual read functions that are going on..and i don't have a clue how the gamecube version actually handles this stuff) which are making it hard to work with. Here's the metadata that got printed out: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cv0pzelvgwxt1j1/ja_xbox.txt?dl=0
