No-Puhi

Add non-steam shortcut to the openjk_sp.x86.exe bin for SP and another to openjk.x86.exe for MP.

 

It won't be able to run through the "Star Wars: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy" actual game in steam but it uses the same assets.  Note it uses openjk.cfg for MP and openjk_sp.cfg for SP rather than the jaconfig and jampconfig!

sorry, didnt quite understand. when you say "add non-steam shortuct" do you mean "add as non steam game"? and what bin?

also i found that you can choose mods in the settings menu and one of the options is OpenJA.

Does anyone know if this would be valid?

My question is: if i launch JA with steam, am i running the "patched" OpenJA version or is it the vanilla one?

If its the vanilla one, is there a way that i can play the patched version (OpenJA) with steam?

Hello. From the title its obvious that i am somewhat new to this game. I played the vanilla version of Jedi Academy at a friends house a couple of times. Quite enjoyed it so i decided to buy myself a copy through steam.

I played a couple of multiplayer matches and played on a couple of modded servers, got rekt by experienced players...

I saw a couple of steam guides related to the game and one of them was a guide for new people to get into the game.

That where i found out about this site

What troubles me is, the guide recommended a lot of things to download and put into my game directory such as OpenJA, JA++ and some demos that are lessons/tutorials for newbies 

Half way through the process i got confused and realised i didnt even know what i was downloading. There was little explanation to what im doing or why im doing it.

So id like to hear some of the things the more experienced players would recommend a new player to do. I taught of going through the singleplayer since i discovered there was more to lightsaber fights than spamming LMB, so i can get a grasp on the controls and moves.

As for the mods like OpenJA and JA++, i have no idea what they are. I saw a forum thread here where a guy recommended new players stay away from JA++. Dont know why...

In summary: Im kinda lost in this new world and would like some guidance.
