I think its true that OpenJK has that, but this is still good info to know regardless I think! Thanks for sharing, Futuza!

Hey there, this is just an idea/question that came to my mind the other day and I hope this is the right section for it!

There's lots of cool animation mods out there that change saber stances, moving animations, swinging motions, and .etc right? But I was wondering... is it possible to have such things but only for specific bots/NPCs/characters only? For example, adding new animations to Darth Vader so that he fights/moves more like he would in the movies but without changing how everyone else in the game moves too? Or if I download a saber stance pack, is there a way I can take those animations and add them to only one or few characters? In addition, if it is possible then does anyone happen to know how this is implemented?

I'm still fairly new at modding so forgive me if this is actually a common known thing, haha. But either way, thanks for reading!

If such a thing exists and is still floating around, I'd love to see this as well!

Funny enough I was actually just thinking about this the other day! I was thinking how cool RGB Sabers (and other additional Saber colors) are to have but always run into trouble when I want to combine it with OpenJK or other modded versions of the game. The issue that I come across commonly is how these mods tend to use edited .dll files and you can't combine them.... the most annoying of all is that I want to use "JK Unlimited" (which fully unlocks menu limitations and such) but if I use this then it means I can't add new Saber colors or RGB Sabers or anything else. Another big problem is that OpenJK fixes the max CVARs errors which I find very useful, but again you can't use any other mod that has its own .dll files...

Sadly enough, tbh vast majority of the time I actually don't even use OpenJK at all due to these frequent incompatibilities... even though OpenJK has useful advances of the game engine that I'd love to utilize. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but all I know is that I've never came across a solution for this in many years. :/ But I digress!

Overall pretty frustrating but back to the main topic... maybe compiling OpenJK source code along with source code of RGB Sabers would do the trick? That would be a great idea but sadly it all depends on the authors permissions I think and obtaining the source code from the creator of RGB Sabers who is, I think, named Tchouky? Sadly I wouldn't know how/where to contact him. (also the source code of JA Unlimited would be great too, haha)

Yes I have, added it as an exception and so did my friend. Also I use Windows 7 while my friend uses Windows 10, may as well throw that info out here as well.

EDIT: I must admit that I'm actually starting to get very angry now... I've spent DAYS on this piece of s**t with zero results. Multiple friends of mine have tried to help and all with the same outcome, I really hope someone here can help with this because like I said posting here is the final option left so.... its this or nothing now. Its amazing that I'm learning new things each day regarding modding, yet for some reason one of the most basic things for this game isn't working? I just don't get it...

I'm really needing some help right now with getting my server to appear online, I've spent 2 days on this with zero results. Posting here on the forums is pretty much my last resort now before giving up...

Okay so I know what you might be thinking next, I didn't port forward right? Well yes I did, many combinations in fact! I tried... range of 29060-29062 and 29070-29081 as UDP, then I tried the same thing but with TCP only instead, and then both UDP/TCP. I also tried 29060 by itself and 29070 by itself (UDP, TCP, UDP/TCP). Despite all these port forwarding attempts and variations, my server is always located on local listings and not as an open server, and none of my friends can see it. So I figured okay... let me try Hamachi then, but NOPE that didn't work either! Even with me and my friends using Hamachi, they still cannot see my server. I tried BaseJK3 as well as OpenJK and JA+, all the same results.

I've been following both these guides trying to do this:
https://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/161-creating-a-dedicated-server-home-run-for-windows/

https://www.thejediacademy.net/articles_detail_page.php?f_id=4

I am 100% lost and have no idea what's wrong... so I'd really appreciate some assistance cause me and my friends really want to play together on a private server... so yeah thank you for reading!

EDIT: Okay so I had my friend try hosting a server instead, and literally the same issues... so w/e the problem is its not internet related but related to the game itself I think. The only thing I can think of is that these guides are leaving out something vital (maybe outdated?) or that we are somehow missing something? This is mind boggling especially when me and my friends run servers all the time for many other games.  :/

Worst.  Star Wars.  Ever!

I will only see it 3 more times... today.
