You can look at existing plugins here or the source code here. There used to be some basic documentation but most of it is irrelevant now or missing.

Nah bro SDL2 is a virus, trust me

I probably broke something. Try with base/ja+ client?

You didn't specify a value for numBlades, thus it thinks the next word is supposed to be a number and it freaks out. The rest looks fine.

Put this in japlus/lua/cl/chatbot/plugin.lua local chatbot = RegisterPlugin( "ChatBot", "1.0" ) local function SplitChatMessage( msg ) local splitMsg = JPUtil.explode( string.format( "%c", 0x19 ), msg ) local len = #splitMsg if len == 2 then -- for regular messages, only one escape character local name = string.sub( splitMsg[1], 1, string.len(splitMsg[1])-2 ) -- strip the ^7 at the end local message = string.sub( splitMsg[2], 3 ) -- strip the ': ' before each message return name, message elseif len == 4 then -- for JA+ admin messages... local name = string.sub( splitMsg[2], 2, string.len(splitMsg[2])-2 ) -- strip the '(' at the start and ^7 at the end local message = string.sub( splitMsg[4], 4 ) -- strip the ': ^3' at the start return name, message end end AddListener( "JPLUA_EVENT_CHATMSGRECV", function( msg ) local sender, message = SplitChatMessage( msg ) local ply = GetPlayer( sender ) if ply and ply:IsBot() then -- ... do something with 'message' local reply = 'some response' SendServerCommand( 'say ' .. reply ) end return msg end )and go from there =]

It can be done in the JA++ client with Lua, or by modifying the source code if you're more familiar with C.

Just make your own engine =]

Show your .sab etc files. They must be badly formatted, so it's reading past the end of the file looking for a closing brace or something.

I thought they were limited to 8, 16 and 24. Meh, the menus are years out of date.

You may need to set com_affinity on command-line, or restart JA after changing it. Not sure.

Release vs Debug?

I always felt there was a serious lack of availability for educational material (books, programs, etc) If you were so inclined, you could give a boost to Open Access

In the OpenJK forum, when they said they're using OpenJK? =p

Ugh. KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid. Play SP / MP - Automatically load mod - Set custom resolution - ??? Check for updates Visit site/forums Exit

The world needs more package managers. I think the most important thing is automatic updater (with option to not check for updates/manually)

We could look at Semantic Versioning, but I'm not sure what constitutes a "public API", we could probably replace that with major changes. JA++ doesn't use versions, it uses git revisions, which are equally as relevant as version numbers.

The behaviour for extracting DLLs is the same is retail JA. We introduced proper user profile support on all OSes (not just *nix) so people no longer have to run the game as admin. There are a few ways around this when developing: Compile with the portable switch, or run with +set fs_homepath "."Build your DLLs and PK3s into whatever fs_homepath is set toSplit everything up: +set fs_homepath "<generic-writable-directory>" +set fs_cdpath "<mod-working-directory>" +set fs_game "mymod" This will assume the current directory is your install directory, i.e. read-only folder containing just base/assets*.pk3 and you can install mods etc to the generic fs_homepath directory which you treat as a writable GameData folder. So there's no bug or issue, you're just using a method that incidentally worked well with retail JA. I recommend leaving the cwd/base directory entirely clean with just assets*.pk3, using fs_homepath to store your long-time mods/configs/screenshots, and using fs_cdpath (game will only read from there) for your work-in-progress assets and DLLs As an added bonus, I have my fs_homepath on Dropbox so I can play with the same profile on all computers.

Sure, but the hit indicator is not localised to the world, it's a stereo sound purely for feedback, not effect.

Not necessary at all. It's been added by a few people and doesn't suit the game. Same with the accompanying hit sounds.

Technically, not linear. Each entity has to access each other entity multiple times per frame. Depending on what they're accessing it for (collision etc) it could be quite an exponential performance hit. This is usually a minimal issue if the entity/player slot is not in use.

Yes, but MP has 32 reserved client slots. (1024-2) + 31 = 1053

It means the current working directory needs to contain OpenAL32.dll

Steam has nothing to do with the master server, and the question was about whether Steam/Valve could modify the version of the game they distribute to point to the JKHub master server.

Steam have no authority over the code of the game. Raven have no reason to outsource the master server functionality to yet another third party. Wouldn't solve the issue for non-steam players.

It was made fucking terribly, to be honest.
