Sooo,
This is a bit of a broad question. I now have a fork of OpenJK working on Ubuntu linux, so I can now tinker with the source at will. But, not unexpectedly, the source code for the project is massive, quite a bit for me to take in all at once. For comparison, my largest project would be this:
https://github.com/BruceJohnJennerLawso/Ignition_Engine
which is a minnow compared to OpenJK. I also see from browsing the code, that a lot of it is written in functional style as opposed to object oriented. This again isn't particularly surprising given that the game is over 10 years old, and speed was probably a fairly important factor in its design, but the code is proving rather difficult to make sense of. What I was hoping to do, is create a quick roadmap of where everything is in OpenJK, and a rough description of what it does.
So far the only things I have been able to figure out is this:
-win32 and macosx under the code folder (only looking at JKA code here) are obviously related to lower level stuff on the given operating system (creating a window, getting a handle to it, drawing stuff to that window, etc.). If that is the case, I dont follow why sdl is also there, since sdl would cover all of those tasks on its own wouldnt it? Or maybe SDL is only there to provide support for low level stuff on linux that wasnt available when the commercial version was released?
-I think ghoul2 is somehow related to in game meshes, more specifically taking a static model that a modeller creates in an external program like blender, 3dsmax, what have you, and making it interface with the game physics and animations? Is it some sort of external library that handles things like this?
-No clue what icarus is, If anyone could comment on that, it would be very helpful.
-game and cgame are fairly obvious, some game constants were defined in the headers in game, which allowed for changing a few things like the speed of weapons fire, although much of that is a mystery to me at the moment.
Beyond that, Im not sure what most of the source does. Is there a good starting point in the code to look at that would help me get a better understanding of how it all works?

Just select tags and go to the tag r_hand. Then right click and there is an option to select model. Browse and find the gun or saber
Hmm would You mind if I will upload it in the downloads? You will just download it like normal file
this is very funny model so i want to share it to everybody.No problem at all, feel free to upload

Some questions:
-Staff style or strong style?
-Detailed or simple model?
-Umm, strong style I think? Staff style is held horizontal at the waist isnt it?
-Simple as it gets

Like this? (textures will take more time D: and i must make the inside too.
That looks perfect, exactly what I was thinking of.
Whether to texture or not would be up to you really. I personally wouldnt mind if it just used different coloured materials for the detail, but textures are fine as well if you prefer to do it that way. I just cant imagine how to properly UV map a texture to that top surface though, but I imagine Blender must have better tools for UV mapping than the piece of crap that I used for my UV mapping in conjunction with Anim8or.

And just make a melee more powerful , make some bar and some breakable objects that after pressing you get a weapon saber (for example You press at the chair and you have a chair saber , lamp a lamp saber and bottle a tulipan bottle weapon XD).
It would be awesome!!!
For You there is a MrWronko's tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRtn9KO0omY
It will teach you how to make the model
. The blender is quite nice program to use. Some time and trial and error and You have model It is easy believe me.Hmm, blender, another mountain I need to climb someday...
Is there any way of doing it from Anim8or? I have experience using that before.

You can made a sab. with out the blade.
Do You have a picture of the umbrella that You want?
Literally as simple as this:
Its for a humourous video project, only needs to be recognizable as an umbrella. (although I guess it would be funny as a weapon in the game while closed)

I find that activating lukes meditation stone causes my player to get stuck in the meditation stones mesh, unless I noclip to get out of it. I would assume that is not fixable if the player is already standing on top of the stone when activating it, but would it be possible to make it activatable from farther away so it doesnt happen?
I really like the addition of the banners to the main hall too by the way.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the interior of the yavin runner2, did you recreate it from scratch, or was it included with the sdk?

@@Oobah I just played through your Massassi Temple map in depth and it is really good. It would be perfect for SP mission. Would you be interested in joining the team here and making some maps for SP missions?
I had the same idea, rewrite a few of the .menu files to make the Massassi temple map into a hub for SP, but he wasnt into it when I asked him. He might be more interested with the offer coming from a large project though, so who knows...

Just a thought I had recently,
A really cool idea for a new mission would be to set it up so the player has no weapons (kinda like dosuun), but there are no weapons scattered throughout the level to pick up, only the melee enabled at the start using the iknowkungfu command. The player is stranded on some backwater planet with some awful person that wants to kill them, (because reasons) and has some sort of weapon (probably something in between a E-11 and the disruptor?).
The core idea of the level would be that the player jumps from cover to cover in order to avoid their opponents fire, and has to dart in and out to kick/punch their opponent in order to defeat them. I would love to create the map, but I dont think I have enough experience to make it good enough just yet. Maybe sometime this summer, if that isnt too late?
-
First time I've heard it happen.
Fair enough. If it aint broke, dont fix
-
Look for UI_Alloc in ui_shared.cpp
Thanks. Is there any reason why not to simply set it higher by default in the main branch of OpenJK? A mb is pretty small potatoes for most computers RAM-wise these days, so maybe it would be better just to set the amount fairly high so problems like this dont happen very often?

Just a quick request for a project I am working on, probably very small
I need a model of an umbrella for a movie project I am working on. I need the character in game to hold it similarly to a lightsaber (which will work well, since the character just needs to hold it above their head like you would normally do with an umbrella
). I was thinking that I might just import it over tavions sword in the game, since that will avoid having a glow from a saber and the accompanying sound effects in the game.The model doesnt need to be highly detailed or anything, just recognizable as an umbrella. Normally I would do it myself, but I dont know a thing about creating models for jka yet, and Im sure one of the developers on these forums could probably dash it off in 15 minutes or so.

Because it just is the way it always was. Its not using the heap memory. This is a throwback to q3a which only used qvms and cannot allocate using malloc/calloc/alloca/new. Rather not go and change all of this for the time being.
Ah, so it just initializes a block of memory at startup and uses it like a sort of scratchpad? Thats peculiar, but whatever works... At least its still allocated on the stack then.
Where can I adjust this in the code?
-
Well, something is using up a lot of the UI_Alloc memory to fill that 1 meg allocation pool.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but why cap the memory available to the UI?

Although there are a few mods installed, the behaviour was there when the game was completely vanilla (no extra pk3s besides Oobahs Massassi temple)
-
Whats the actual error? I don't have one that says ran out of ui memory.
The one thing I notice when spawning NPCs is the console does say "unknown UI script ;" But still spawns anyway. @@therfiles
I cant remember the exact text of what it said. Ill try to run it again later today and post it.
If you're debugging from the terminal, you can do something like this:
gdb --args ./openjo_sp.i386 +set r_mode 5 +map ffa_bespin
I wouldn't set the window to fullscreen - it makes it a pain to debug then
So the command line arguments are already implemented in the current code? I thought I was going to have to write them myself sorry.
I'll do some testing with it and let you know.
Also, was it just singleplayer you tried or multiplayer or what?Mod not intended for multiplayer.Single-player, built vanilla off the most recent state of OpenJK on github. The actual repo is here:
https://github.com/BruceJohnJennerLawso/OpenJK
only a few commits behind the master
built using cmake & make on Ubuntu linux, running single-player. I cant stand multiplayer to be honest. #foreveralone
So I did some testing and it worked fine for me. (Well other then the fact that my models are broken as hell, but that's something else unrelated to the mod).
<script pagespeed_no_defer="">//
I couldnt even get that far, the game crashes for me upon loading any map, unless I delete the npcsp files.
Its not a big issue, I just dont see any reason why npcsp should not work. Its not that in depth of a mod that it should have issues with different versions of the engine.
-
Thanks for the advice, but I got it to work just by editing the main.menu file in the base packages. The one thing that confused me about the way the OpenJK project is set up with cmake is that just running make without any additional flags only seems to produce the base executable, whereas to create a working copy of the program, you need to run make install (and copy over Assets 0-2 pk3 files from a normal distribution obviously.
I now have the program up and working, and the game goes directly from character selection to Oobahs Massassi temple, rather cool
The only issue I see so far is that NpcSP refuses to run with my OpenJK forked build. Whenever I try to run the game with the npcsp config and pk3 file, the program crashes while loading the map, and the console says something to the effect of "ran out of ui memory". Can anyone confirm that the latest version of OpenJK does not work with npcsp?
-
Sounds like you want to start it with command line arguments. eezstreet has a good tutorial about debugging here: http://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/183-debugging-like-a-pro-win32/ that I'll quote from, but I suggest you read the whole thing before getting started:
<script pagespeed_no_defer="" type="text/javascript">//
Is there a way to do it on linux using cmake?
-
So I finally got around to getting my fork of OpenJK set up and built. I copied over the base asset pk3s to the gamedata folder, and boom, I now have a fork of OpenJK running.
Im thinking of tinkering with some different things, but Id like to make the entry point into the game a little bit more convenient. Basically Id rather have the exe start up and load a basic map right off the bat when I test my build, instead of going through the whole intro cinematic for the first yavin level & so on. I suspect that this is probably written as a .menu file in one of the base assets that gets executed when the game starts up, but Im not sure which one. Does anyone know which one it is and where it is located?

Well, LucasArts operated in absolute schlock, and it died with its allies and employees remembering it that way. Reading this made me quite emotional. All I can hope for is that Disney emerges as our new hope, bringing with it many quality Star Wars productions in gaming, television, and film.
Try to enjoy reading this story. ;/
Thanks for posting that link, a very interesting read.
It really does help to explain how those bizarre things went on at Lucasarts all those years. It never failed to puzzle me how they could take a full decade to produce a sequel to Battlefront when the feedback from the fans was so overwhelmingly in favour. I mean for gods sakes, people released detailed analysis videos of every last second of 'leaked' footage when DICE announced it was making the new Battlefront. Or even how nearly 15 years after the engine for outcast and academy was created, its still pretty much the best of its type in existence (Star Wars specific anyways).
Is it just me, or is it also not puzzling how Jedi Knight 3 was never made? Literally all that was needed to be done is to create another slightly improved version of the JKA engine, slap on any old single player campaign, ship it, profit.

Having actually seen Rebels, its eh, decent. Not amazing, but not as bad as expected really. Some of the humour is actually surprisingly kind of funny, which I like.
One small thing about the animation: Is it just me, or does Zebs walk look slightly odd in certain scenes? It looks normal when he runs, but the couple of scenes that show him walking at a normal pace, he sort of looks like he is about to fall forwards or something. Maybe its just me
-
Honestly that trailer looked like a joke. I stopped to double check that it was an official source when I saw it on youtube. Literally nothing but weak CGI.
For this we lost the EU?

As for putting in a hub on the map that's not going to happen. You would have just about anyone who wanted to running into whatever trigger they want and forcing a server map change when ever they wanted. I wouldn't wanna give "trolls" and people who cause issues that kind of power to just force a map change at any time they wanted. It would just annoy people. Not to mention maps full of npc spawns and vehicle spawns as well as scripts on single player maps have a greater potential to crash a server at random.
I wasnt thinking for a multiplayer server (and yes this would be a very bad idea for that lol). I was thinking that it could be a really cool idea for single player, so that players could wander around the academy before going to the hangar bay to go to their mission. Basically, can you create a console in the hangar that runs the command "exec hangar_console" when its activated? That way a user could start a custom single player mission from the hangar without needing to use the console. (Maybe the single player game could eventually be tinkered with so that it does this in between missions, then going to the console in the hangar starts the mission selection menu!)
The custom command doesnt need to have any impact on multiplayer server use, the hangar_console.cfg file on the server can be left blank (or something harmless like helpusobi 0)

In the ceremony hall in the final version I moved it up top into the command center and moved it out enough so it no longer clips through the wall viewing the door to the yavin_trial area. Try the newest version out and let me know what you think of it, it's link is up on the jkhub now.
Ah okay, I tried the new version.
The view screen seems to be clipping out less, but I still dont understand what it is supposed to represent. All I see is a black void with one of the doors sliding in and out.
Also there seems to be a minor bug with the dueling room, when you go upstairs above it to the room with the glass floor & the four buttons, the back two cause some sort of "keyword not recognize" message to get printed on screen when they are activated. Was this the bug found earlier? It didnt crash for me, but it didnt sound good either.
Where are the buttons that control the music? I didnt see them in my walkthrough.
On a bit of a far out note, could it maybe be possible for a map like this to act as a sort of in-game hub? It would be really cool if when a particular console is activated, it runs a console command like "exec mission_start", and the file mission_start.cfg contains the commands to start a single player map, ie "map sp_mission".
-
It's not meant to lead anywhere. That represents door locked, in jedi outcast yavin_temple it had the same thing over the door to the outside area till you hit the cutscene with luke then it turned green. There will be no outside area or partial outside area. Not worth the time or energy to map. Basis of the map is interior of the temple itself. I added the _skybox to cover the immersion factor of being able to see some kind of exterior outside but no it's not accessible, it's just there for looks.
Ah okay. The skybox looks terrific in any case.
The only other weird thing I noticed was the viewing room in the audience chamber. If you go into the audience chamber, go into the door to the left (the right one has the elevator up to the top) and turn on the viewing screen located there, the viewscreen goes really strange, similar to the effect you get if you try to noclip through a wall that leads to nowhere. (this was with the earlier version posted in this thread, so maybe it was fixed later on?)
this is very funny model so i want to share it to everybody.
It is easy believe me.
). I was thinking that I might just import it over tavions sword in the game, since that will avoid having a glow from a saber and the accompanying sound effects in the game.
Mapping OpenJK
in OpenJK
Posted
Would it not make some sense to port everything to SDL, or are the Win32 and OSX parts just there to smooth over small areas where SDL doesnt fit quite perfectly due to differences in how operating systems handle things? Just a wild thought here, but would porting things to SFML be a possibility? I am a big fan of SFML personally.
I would imagine that ICARUS and Ghoul2 dont really need much modification at this point, more just adjusting how the game uses them internally in game and cgame? Is ghoul2 basically just a filetype that normal mesh files like 3ds and obj can be ported to?
Why exactly is LLVM used to run virtual machines? (ie what problem requires setting one up instead of just writing normal C code to do it?)
Are all users in a multiplayer session required to use the same versions of dlls though? If a mp session was using different code for cgame, things would behave differently for everybody wouldnt they?
Generally more interested in SP, but Im more interested in just tinkering with game mechanics to do interesting stuff. Even just modifying the speed that weapons fire moves at to be faster has a big effect on SP gameplay. But changes like that are obviously not part of the OpenJK branch, so I think Im going to just make that into a separate repository that isnt related to OpenJK.
I would love to tinker with integrating bullet physics into the game though. I think somebody already experimented with that before, and it looked really cool with crates & objects bouncing around.
Ill make sure to stop by the IRC, maybe sometime on this weekend if I have time.
What I was thinking of in place of a roadmap, would be to create a quick comment at the top of each file in OpenJK that describes what it does. Sooo, I think Ill refork OpenJK, and make pull requests to master with the commented files, and whoever is in charge of the main branch can review the comments to make sure theyre accurate, then add them to master.
Does that sound like a decent idea?
