This is not entirely related, but are there OpenJK binaries for Linux? If not, are there Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy binaries for linux yet?

If it's any quicker/easier could you just specifically blacklist those files? I could download those manually, I can't imagine that that many files have strange characters in them.

Just played it for the first time. I've only played it for about 10 minutes, but I haven't found a major gripe with the controls yet. The graphics are exactly the same as the PC version, they don't seem stripped down at all. I've only beaten KOTOR 1 completely one time like two years ago, so this is a great way to replay the game. Also, the screen size on iPad mini is perfect. I feel like I'm playing it on a PC, not a mobile device, aside from the controls. Looking forward to Manaan in the palm of my hands. Will be very... nostalgic...

The fact that this game runs on iPad and has better graphics than JKO and JKA in my mind is proof that the iPad can run JKA, aside from issues with the controls.

Oh, and I ran the JK2 parameter and it crashed on "bridge_of_khazad-dûm_.zip," so I can confirm that it's the characters. Who was dumb enough to add that accented character to the .zip file?

@@spior I'm getting another crash, this one the program can't seem to get around. It's crashed at this point twice. file 4317/6133 it has some unusual characters in the file name. That might be what is causing the crash. I think the file is called AescendingAngel.zip but with weird characters in it.

What I've done in the past with shaders is to copy someone else's shader text (sue me) and replace the textures with mine. Look through some of Sith-J-Cull's maps and if there's an effect you like, see if you can find the corresponding shader and use that. BTW, I believe that your texture file entries (ex. env_metal) need to have a file extension with them.

All JKA mods are downloaded at this point except for the skins! Spior's bot is working perfectly aside from periodic crashes. Has anyone burned the JK2 mod packs I previously uploaded to DVD/BD-R? It might be a good idea if a lot of people do it in case my mirror ever goes down. The point of all this is to effectively immortalize these mods so 25 years from now if anyone still plays JA they can have mods to go with it.

One of my old professors looks like these porcine fiends.

Heh. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-wars-knights-old-republic/id611436052?mt=8

Just FYI it has crashed like 3 times now since I last reported any, but every time I re-run it it seems to get past the crash. 2200/6133 mods are downloaded now.

Haha, two years ago I thought about uploading a "purseless ugnaught" mod to JK3files. It would have required the editing of one line of a text file. I'm glad I never did.

Yeah, I think it was because my internet got messed up. It crashed again like 5 minutes before I wrote this and it was because my connection went down for a few minutes. Will re-run again, and it will probably work. Is there any sort of fail-safe you could implement so the program doesn't crash and instead holds before trying to connect again? Re-running the program takes it a while to confirm all of the files already downloaded.

I re-ran the program and it seems to be going past the crash error. Crossing my fingers hoping it won't crash again...

Actually, someone did convert some of the JA bonus maps for JK2. http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/JA_bonus_maps_converted_for_JO;94569 This only has one FFA map and one duel map though. How hard would it be to convert all of the JA maps for JO? I'm surprised no on has done this already.

Yeah, there's a lot of great looking maps that I've turned my nose up at since they don't have bot support. If there's a JK2 map you can recommend that's as high quality as the ones I've just linked to and I really like it then I will probably add bot support to it when I have the time. One thing I've always wanted is for the MB2 maps in JKA to have bot support so I could play just base JKA with them.

I can think of a few maps like the kind I'm describing: WLS: CTF Map Pack <-- By the way, CTF_WS3 is probably my favorite custom JK2 map of all time so far. All of the other maps in that pack are really good too; they certainly look like they would have appeared in base JK2. They all have bot support too. Bespin Mining Station Really good map, also has bot support. Orbital Garden - Really good CTF map. Probably my second favorite JK2 map. Bot support. IRG Coruscant - Really good as well, bot support. To be honest, I'm just really tired of these maps that look cool in the screenshots, and then you play on them and the layout is terrible and isn't fun at all. These really high quality maps have like 1 64 x 64 pixel screenshot and they are some of the best out there for JK2 multiplayer.

Raven caulked their maps, I'm pretty sure. I pretty much just want a high quality map with bot support that would seem like it would have been included in the base game. If it doesn't have bot support that shouldn't be too bad if the map is good, since I can add my own bot routes.

@@spior crash on file 948/6133 when running "JKA" parameter. It had just finished downloading navepanda1.1.rar. It says "SomeWrapperThing 10054"

I'm looking for some maps for JK2 that are similar to Raven's multiplayer mapping style. By this I mean it should have the following: -Bot Support -Well-thought-out and fun layout -Decent visuals throughout without posters/clan messages, etc If you can think of some Jedi Academy maps, I'd like to know of those as well. Basically, I guess you could just say that I want a really good map with bot support.

It's gone beyond 189/190, so it's working...for now.

On both JK2 and JKA parameters they crashed either on the 189th or 190th file. It was either of the two each time.

I made a mod for this: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1587-guns-only-mod-for-jk2-multiplayer/
