Found it: http://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/50-adding-entities-to-maps-after-compiling-editing-base-maps/ Thanks everyone.

This thing's killing me! My Mac build does what it's supposed to, and my Windows build ignores my changes. WTH?! I really need help from an OpenJK expert. @@Xycaleth, @@eezstreet, @@ensiform, @@redsaurus, @@mrwonko, ..?

It's not the script errors that are breaking it after all. Honestly, I think the game assets have somehow been corrupted. It's the last thing one wants to believe, but it sure is drawing to that conclusion. You are getting this error even with a clean directory and no problems/errors detected on initial loading. I can think of three possible reasons this is happening: 1. The assets are damaged and you need to reinstall Jedi Academy. 2. Your graphics card driver has problems with the shader implementations. The fix for this would be to update your graphics card driver. 3. Either your current release OpenJK binary is buggy or relies on "jagamex86.dll" for those shaders. Maybe try a different version/release of OpenJK?

Could you paste the log from the main menu while your base is clean? Thanks.

I've found something that may be a clue: The "gamename" when I load up OpenJK MP Solo mode is "basejka", not "OpenJK", and that exactly how it seems to be behaving. For some reason it's still running the base engine, and not my custom build of OpenJK. ... Why? The OpenJK cgamex86.dll and uix86.dll are in GameData/base, along with jagamex86.dll and jampgamex86.dll. The OpenJK binaries are in GameData, along with rd-vanilla_x86.dll and rdsp-vanilla_x86.dll. Is this a setting (at compile-time) I'm not aware of? What gives??

That's okay, "jagamex86.dll" is for the SP game. That's all you should have in "Program Files (x86)/LucasArts/Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/base", nothing else. Then run OpenJK (MP) and start a Solo game, and see if you still have the error messages.

I can see quite a few script errors... When you moved the custom PK3s out, did you move your custom scripts out, too? There should have been nothing but these files in your GameData/base: assets0.pk3 assets1.pk3 assets2.pk3 assets3.pk3 uix86.dll jagamex86.dll jampgamex86.dll cgamex86.dll

@, one more thing we can try, just in case: Get the log after the main menu has loaded, but before you load the Solo game. Maybe it has something for us to look at to see what's causing this repeated error. And don't be afraid to post the full thing here.

Wow, that's not helping much either.... That's a LOT of repeated errors... There's nothing else at the top of the log? I'd say reinstall JKA. I can't think of anything else.

That doesn't help us... Hmm... Can you do this for me: Can you load OpenJK (MP) and load a Solo game, and after the level has loaded and you've "joined" bring up the console, and write: condump nullshaderlog.txt Then search for that file on your computer and post here all that it says in that log.

Right click on it, click Properties, and set it to run in Windows XP (SP3) compatibility mode.

Use Solo only for testing for now. Hmm... that's strange. At this point I'd say you should re-install JKA to restore the assets0-3 PK3s. It seems something got corrupted in your assets. Do you get the same error when you run JAMP.exe (if you still have it in the install directory of the game)? Edit: What about the lightsaber blades? Did they go back to normal when you moved all your custom PK3s out of the base folder?

Are you testing using the Solo game mode? And you can restore your openjk.cfg now.

Sorry, my bad. It's openjk.cfg that you need, not jampconfig.cfg.

Okay, your jampconfig.cfg is in "Documents/My Games/OpenJK/base". Move it out of there to the desktop and run the game (a clean config setup this time) in Solo mode. Does the problem persist? Also, are you running an official or customised build of OpenJK?

I'm having a strange problem with compiling my custom OpenJK code: whatever changes I implement in the MP code don't show up in the final build. It feels like I have a build cache somewhere that needs cleaning. Either that, or I'm not doing something right with the OpenJK DLLs... Any tips on how to start a clean build, or why my changes are not happening with my custom-built OpenJK MP binary? I was thinking of running a "make clean". Could that help?

Incidentally, what graphics card does your computer have? Edit: Also, which version of Windows (if Windows)? Are you running a custom or an official build of OpenJK?

Interesting... That means that there's something wrong with the game's assets or configuration. Have you tried moving your user config files out to the desktop? I'm thinking the jampconfig.cfg may have gotten corrupted, or is storing a value for an item that no longer exists in your base folder, trying to load it persistently. Alternatively, and if this doesn't work, you could try to reinstall/repair JKA.

Hi and welcome, @@Kogite! Thanks for the heads-up, but thanks to a few of our diligent members we already have pretty much the whole of JK3Files saved, and mirrors on the way. Hope you stick around. Feel free to post and talk about anything creative or Star Wars and JK related.

Remove it from your base folder, and load the game up to see if you continue receiving the same problem/error. If the problem is gone, then we know what files we need to look at to fix it. That narrows it down.

@@Dusty, do we have a good tutorial on ent-modding? It's the first time I've ever heard of it, but this sounds like a good way to go about it.

The head/skull proportions are perfect to the subject reference now, @@Archangel35757. Looking great. I think the nose base could use a little widening, and the lips (of course) still need work to match them closer to reference: 1. The downward mouth curve still needs to be lifted/straightened (and broken into three segments, three curves) a little bit to match Psyk0's reference, and make her mouth look more relaxed and natural. 2. The groove between the nose and the lips needs to be a little wider -- this makes the shape of the top-mid section of the lips. Currently it's too narrow, even for Mandy... This will be an amazing model and likeness when finished.

It may have a dog/bear-like head, but it sure ain't cuddly! I was thinking more along the lines of the head of a hyena as I was designing it -- stubby, but strong and pesky, scary in larger numbers.

1. Have you installed a saber/blade related mod lately? 2. Have you made edits to your sabers or EFX shaders lately?

All done:
