    Model dismemberment

    in OpenJK

    Posted

    Okay! I just found out the problem and it's actually not a problem, because there's a define in wp_saber.cpp in the jedi academy code and I found a "define MAX_SABER_VICTIMS 16" in it. meaning that I could only dismember 16 at a time in a map if there are only a few entities. I extended it to 32 and I was able to slice and dice more of them up. It seems that Cerez was correct, it IS a programmed cap but it was always in there from the beginning. Even the jedi outcast code had it but it was never active. So there you go. HECTIC MYSTERY SOLVED!!! :)

    I'm unable to make the dismemberment work since I installed OpenJK. Well, it's like you said.. only one enemy will lose a head or be cut in half every now and then. How should I proceed to do the same thing as you?

     

    Edit: The cvars work in Jedi Academy Enhanced.

    I think I found the solution -and- the cause. Also, this solution worked for both JK2 and JK3 when I used it!

     

    For Windows 7/8/8.1:

    • Goto My Computer, then right click and goto properties.
    • Your system information (CPU, RAM etc.) should appear.
    • On the left pane, click Advanced System Settings.
    • The System Properties window will open, and you'll automatically be on the Advanced tab, which is good!
    • Under the Advanced tab, select Settings under the Performance section of that tab.
    • The Performance Options window will open and you'll start on the Visual Effects tab, which is, again, good!
    • Under the Visual Effects tab, near the top, select Adjust for best appearance.
    • Run your game and enjoy! No more black screen with sound and the ability to hit menu buttons as you described.

    For Windows XP:

    • This problem should not exist, IIRC.

    If this fixes it for anyone, please second this. Apparently, Adjust for best performance makes JA give you the black screen somehow. Also, maybe it only does this with certain video cards and not with others. I wrestled with this issue for a long time, for many hapless hours, so I'm happy to see others not have the same sorry experience.

    Thank you sir. That did work for me! :)
