Also increase r_lodCurveError from 250 to 1000. This makes curves/patches look better from a distance.

For large open maps, making use of LODs (Levels of detail) seems like it would be beneficial. In the open area of BlueIce Twilight for example, everything in the scene is shown at full detail no matter how far you are from them.

Which line did you get that error on? Or did you get it for all of them?

No, I already tested with inserting new lines into the message and it doesn't work. The number that's there normally isn't even real anyway, it's just a counter that goes up and up, and occasionally it loops around and goes back to 0 (which it has many times in the past).

By dynamic I mean just automatically keeping up-to-date with the site instead of me opening up the server and copying and pasting the latest news into it (as opposed to animating the text on the connection screen). But yeah these ideas are really good and I can definitely look up showing tutorials/files too and having them shuffled around. Possibly selecting either the latest news, latest tutorial, latest file, or latest poll.

So OpenJK is getting on its way now after the release of the JKA and JK2 source code. However the very useful (haha) update server at Ravensoft that tells you "Welcome player #34789632" when you connect to any JKA server got confused and told OpenJK players that their game version was out of date. So we now have a new update server for JKHub (at update.jkhub.org) which gives you the latest news* around the JK community when you connect to servers! * Right now the update server has the news manually set on it, but I'm hoping with involvement with JKHub staff we can have it entirely dynamic. So how do you use this new update server? Well, OpenJK has the server built into its code right now but the old Raven one is still used on it. The easiest way to do it right now is to open your Hosts file (Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, Mac/Linux: /etc/hosts) using a text editor (like Notepad) with administrator privileges and adding these lines to the end of it: # Redirect JK3 update server queries to JKHub 199.241.29.211 updatejk3.ravensoft.comThis method works with both the original Jedi Academy and OpenJK.

I got a 4:3 screen as a second monitor just for Jedi Academy, cause I didn't like the stretchy HUD. I'm sad

Where there's a will, there's a way. And reverse-engineering is really fun and challenging.

It could be caused by dmflags 8 (which disables fall damage)? I have no idea what you mean by "ghosting". Also show your complete jampserver.cfg so we know about all the saved cvars (taking out the rcon password of course!).

Here are some references to it in the resources. Central Servers (source code): masterjk3.ravensoft.com updatejk3.ravensoft.com authorizejk3.ravensoft.com assets2.pk3/configs/TheMaster42.cfg (JKA tester): I'm guessing LucasArts intended it to be "Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy" at first, but they omitted the numbering out late in the game for whatever reasons they had.

It's an anonymous piece of paper with writing on it on a wooden surface. I'm not holding my breath, because this image has been around for a while.

Sidenote: Richard Whitehouse was one of the main programmer guys at Raven that worked on JKA MP & JKO MP and made a real effort towards making the games moddable.

Stand back. I know the lyrics to Rammstein - Du Hast and can perform the macarena dance to it. But yeah, welcome to JKHub puzzling person. Please accept this intro video.

Well damn. I wondered why the music files played much better outside JKA.

tl;dr do this in the console: /seta com_maxfps 125 /seta r_swapinterval 0 This will set your max fps to 125 (which as Razish explained is awesome in many ways), and also disable V-Sync so you're not capped to 30 or 60fps.

This is just lag. And that's someone trying and failing to DoS you. It's all fine.

Paying for a mod is just silly, but all freedom to anyone that wants to pay someone to make them a mod. Charging for mods is just silly too (especially on a ten year old game). Separate work and play, and get a real job. Modding is for fun not for funds! But still if you want to charge for a mod then all freedom to you too. What is unethical however is taking advantage of the language barrier of many Ukranian Star Wars fans and giving them a subscription-based mod with copied content from original content authors just because they didn't know that Jedi Academy can be played with all these content mods for free. I myself would never charge to make mods for someone, but if a person really wanted to thank me for my effort after I complete their mod and without prior arrangements then they could donate if they wanted. I do charge people that want websites (cheap though!) because it really takes a big chunk of my time to develop it in-between university work and other projects. This is one of the reasons I stopped working on Jedi Knight Galaxies. The "project leader" got his money from the Donate button to "cover expenses" for the website of a mod that was far from release state. The original project leader barely lifted a finger to contribute to the development of the mod, apart from being the "ideas guy" and sometimes opening photoshop and making some HUD graphics. The mod itself was broken, the team structure was broken, communication didn't exist, the project was failing. But PR was still pouring out optimistic "news" to keep the fans clinging on. Much of the content shown was heavily prototyped garbage or fakery that was made specifically for the dev diaries but had little significance to do with the gameplay of the mod itself (The horrible untested broken running animation even passed through to release). A large bulk of time in the development of the mod was spent making a fully-working fully-animated stargate system that allowed the developers of the mod to travel between servers instead of using the /connect command. I feel really sorry for people who clicked that Donate button and hoped something playable would come out of the project in good time.

WARNING: Very OCD coding remarks that you should probably ignore and never open this spoiler

You'll probably need to have at least 2700 NOK (£300) for an affordable everyday-use laptop. You're totally right that Minecraft is CPU-intensive as opposed to GPU-intensive (and definitely needs 64-bit not 32-bit), but its main requirement is RAM (at least 6GB should be good). Just a quick browse (using Google Translate) gave me this: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=766690 (For some reason the product description says 6GB but tech specs say 2GB ) It should be good enough to play Minecraft relatively lag-free, and there's plenty of graphics options to tweak and you could even get OptiFine. If you want to use the laptop for actual gaming you'll need to fork out a lot more, or just get a desktop PC. (NOT ALIENWARE/DELL)
