Oh nice, it says succeeded now. But it works only when there are 3 factions menus in jampmenus.txt, when I add 4th one, the game crashes on startup screen just like before when I extended the content limit : ( ( ( ( ( ( But on the other hand it is something unusual. With openJK uix86.dll the game crashes and with base/kotf uix86.dll the game launches but it's impossible to click anything.

No. I'm trying at vanilla JKJA with just this menu pk3 file and OpenJK

Oh you guys are right. I thought it might be important but ehh. Are there any tutorials about how to install openJK? I just copy pasted everything from zip file into GameData folder. Im using Windows 7

I hope so, but I think nobody is even trying (lol)

Oh no man.. You can see OpenJK 1.0.1.0 in console

BUG: @

I'm not sure it could be fixed. I set far too much menus with almost the same content so the game engine couldnt handle it so it exploded and thats it.

I could pay for fixed dll file not for hours. I want to fix the bug I uploaded on a video.

How much do you value your work?

I decided to pay for getting the job done. Favor for Favor or Favor for money.

Any news @@redsaurus ?

It was very similar to this one though the game was crashing on startup screen instead of menu buttons not working at all. It is strange because I had a lot more content than right now.

Yea.. I thought so then, but it was already too late.

@@redsaurus I deleted all my posts there because the thread was about an outdated menu bug. Unlike now the game didn't launch anything at all - it was crashing on startup screen. And I had an old menu back then: Separated menus for every character model. Every menu file contained backgrounds and more repeating stuff. So it was pointless waste of space. I managed to completly remake the menu packing them all into one and switching backgrounds with cvars. So I saved a lot of space and I thought: ''okay now it will definetly work". So I decided to remove the posts not to litter forums with outdated garbage. Besides the video I uploaded contains more info than my previous posts. I don't think it is about count of itemDefs. I tried to remove one big itemDef and replace it with 3 small ones and it worked. Vice versa: when I removed 3 small ones and replace them with one big, the bug appeared again. My guess is that the limit concerns all .menu files size, though I'm not sure about it. You are right: each model has its title,description and icon with all the mechanisms. If a coder could add description commands to every separate itemDef (descX descY descScale descColor descAlignment) instead menuDef only,I could get rid of description itemDefs and by that lower their number like about 30%. I'm sure it would help but it probably wouldn't be enough for all the factions I have yet to made. I could also remove model titles for every diffrent characters but I wouldn't like to do that. BTW thank You all for kind words, involvement and activity in this thread

This conversation is pointless if nobody knows how to fix the menu limits bug I posted in the video. A link to UI pk3 file is in the video description if anyone didn't notice. So I suggest we should focus on if the bug can even be fixed? And then discuss the mod's features or decide it's new name or express some expectations. Everyone here was a noob once. There is no doubt that if JKJA community is to grow, it requires new ''noobs'' to install the game and later the mod to stay and continue playing. How else do You imagine it @@hleV?

I was working on something far more professional. I was going to make movies that took place between episode 1 and 2. There were some cool star wars legends in that time. For example count dooku leaving jedi order, sifo dias disappearing, creating clones, order 66 plot, separatists formation and all that stuff I even got the script. I had such possibilities once as I was a leader of a great clan not so long ago. There were many people with potential in it, we tried voice acting, sharing responsibilities. But we took a break mostly because of school time. Now it would be a nice for return but we wanted to try again with this new mod, just for a better start. As a test of full available quaility I almost finished Yoda vs Sidious duel movie in the senate building (episode 3 scene). It just needs some additional scenes and I wanted to add some self made animations. But for now I worked on kotf 2.1. And I really want it to be a polished mod, so that many people dreams can come true. Crazy coincidence Kualan that You ask me this. I saw your comics. Enjoyed reading it with some star wars music, and a long time ago I thought, wow these are great I could use someone like that as a story teller. So I thought that one day I will ask you to join our team and make great movies together. The mod I make and I plan to make is a tool to make it all easier, skin choosing upgrated models new maps, it is all to make it easier to play and to make the game more enjoyable. Honestly I care the most about bringing JKJA back to life, about my clan and movie making. But I'm sure it will serve others as well even for learning modding purposes. So you can see my problem, that menu issue is the only thing that holds me from completing the mod. As such, it delays all the great things I planned about this game and who knows, maybe the servers will be full once again...

Of course, that's what I am going to do. But first I have to make sure that my mod will even work. It would be a pointless effort to search for all permissions and then find out that sadly the mod won't work. I used some models because I have to work on something, but no worries I'm not releasing anything right now. I will get every permission for every single skin before I release the mod. I realise what Tim mistake was, and I really care to repair KotF's reputation.

I've heard many positive and negative opinions about KotF even on this forum. I guess this is personal taste. I don't think that it's so important to talk about it. I still need help to fix the issue and finish this mod. Anyone has any idea where to start?

It's not my intention at all. I came here for help in modding, not to make my work famous.

It's tainted only among modders and well more ''qualified'' JK3 community. But aside from that it is very popular mod. I don't believe You can find someone who never heard of KotF before. And it is very difficult to spread popularity these days. As I stated in my post I'm trying to bring JKJA back alive so I have to aim at masses. Besides it is also personal experience and feelings. KotF has this thing.. I can't name it but it feels like home or some place good for chat, for hanging around. A place that is remembered, the atmosphere and all the options. It's my opinion though but many people I played with agree and I'm not sure why we couldn't find the same in normal JKJA. KotF may have stolen content but most people who played it even had no idea that there is something like stealing mods. They only thing they cared about was fun and great atmosphere. But do not misunderstand my words. I do not justify stealing mods. I'm only saying that it's not the most important part of the mod. At least for the players and we're working for them right?

Greetings JKhub, I would like to present a small part my continuation of KotF. I decided to "legally" repair this mod's reputation by filling it with the new properly obtained content. I decided to work on KotF because it is one of the most known jedi academy mods ever made. However the project cannot be finished without Your help. I have come here for help as I am stuck in a certain area of modding presented on video below. It cost me much strength and effort to make this mod the way it is now. And it would be brutal to throw it all away into vain waste because of old outdated engine limits of the game we all no doubt love. As fellow modders, I know You understand me very well. That is why I have come for Your aid. Here is a small introduction of skin chooser menu and a limit issue I cannot figure how to fix : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zYhCZX59d4 I believe this mod is a great chance for JK community to grow. Especially role players , movie makers and clans. I appeal to You once again: Do not let this game die, we all fight so it survives. Let us fight together. Help me with this and You won't regret it. I have hope in You guys. If there is anything unclear in the video or menu issue, please comment below. Thank You for Your time.
