What can be done to fix/improve Siege in OpenJK? Will be adding suggestions to the issue tracker.

That code doesn't exist in JA, yet. You could change it via console manually, but there are several cvars to change (g_spskill, cg_crosshairForceHint, handicap), and a menu would be better-suited for it.

There are totally different methods depending on how you want to handle it. 1) Can the player dual-wield two different types of weapons? 2) Can the player can dual-wield two of the same weapon? 3) Can the player single-wield or dual-wield at will? (i.e. drop second weapon, pick it up again) 4) Should primary fire shoot both weapons? Alternate which weapon to fire? Should alternate fire shoot the right weapon and primary fire shoot the left weapon? It can get considerably complex when dealing with different weapon types, firing rates, if you plan on adding reloading/clips. When you fire a weapon, a timer is set based on the weapon you're holding. You can't fire until that timer counts down - you're going to have to rework that into two separate timers, one for each weapon. You'll also want to disallow certain combinations of weapons if you allow wielding different weapon types. That will also mean removing the alt-fire capabilities of the weapons, including zooming which is handled differently to firing. In short, you're going to have to really think about what you want before attempting it. It's not as easy as it sounds. The easiest way is a purely visual change - can only dual-wield two of the same weapon, primary fire will alternate between which weapon to shoot...which behaves the exact same as just having a single weapon with regards to damage output, ammo count, etc.

Idea taken from code by Ensiform There are few cvars to change, but it would be nice.

No you're not. The mod comes in two parts: code and assets. JA++ code does not look for JA+ assets You can't mix/add JA+ and JA++ code, it's either one or the other. If you try and mix the assets together it will likely result in conflicts and missing shaders. They simply can't "work together" No, it specifically says to remove JA+'s pk3 files. Nope. Commands are different, admin login is different, cvar names and behaviour is different.

Didn't even realise my JK2 was outdated fixed now.

All the assets are there and usable (and being loaded), JK2 support is being enabled. Any ideas how to fix it? Other people seem to be able to run it okay.

This shits me to no end. They are already running native code capable of all the security risks posed by alternative executables. They clearly don't understand what they're allowing/disallowing - if anything, running OpenJK is more secure, and the code is freely available for them to analyse, compile and has been peer-reviewed. Raven's executable has a plethora of security issues. I would maybe look into Maverick Servers and Gaming. The admin lurks #JACoders and is probably negotiable for setting up a JA server. Their focus is on Quake and derivatives, I believe. I have no idea on pricing, specs or location, but I've only heard good things about MSG. They seem friendly and level-headed.

Just saw this now. Amazing stuff, I look forward to playing it

JK2 speedrun is harder than it looks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHJSi3IQjBI

So I modified JASP's physics to closely match this - I removed the velocity halving on landing - and speedrunning JASP is actually rather fun. In particular, I like hoth2, t2_trip and t3_wedge so far Is there any interest in a team segmented speedrun? How would we go about doing it, without a demo recorder? There might be a possibility of adding a demo recorder to OpenJK SP. Maybe. I'm already using OpenJK SP for raw mouse input and such, but it breaks savegame compatibility with original JASP. We'll also have to match things up like force power progression (t2_trip needs protect level 2 to survive a fall) EDIT: Also, noticed something when going through some speedrun routes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc2B9T-6byg&hd=1 > ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL8zBNwVbno&hd=1

I was waiting for 32:04 the entire time Seems like a lot of segments, and save warping in a few areas? especially at the last puzzle before Desaan. If I adjusted JA SP's physics to be more friendly to strafe jumping, who would want to collaborate on a segmented run ? wouldn't be legit for SDA, but fun

It downloads the assets to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive and the client loads them from there. iD own everything, including the right to redistribute. JKLive would skip the redistribution step and ask the player to specify the directory for their existing assets.

I don't think any such restrictions exist. Just ask them to specify the directory to load assets from. Then you only need to distribute binaries + your own additional assets (e.g. new scoreboards) to whatever directory you want (i.e. fs_homepath, so ~/.jklive/ or C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\JKLive or whatever)

I'm going to guess XVI32 is like most hex editors and has two views: hex on the left and ASCII on the right Look for the entity classname in the ASCII view, and modify it. Just don't change the length. The other approach is to extract the entity strings into a text file and use q3map2 with the -onlyents switch. You'll be interested in this tutorial And maybe don't create multiple threads for the same issue. It won't help and just creates clutter/duplicate content.

From what I remember, JASS is a vmMain/syscall proxy, regardless of engine modifications (Which I assume are disabled on unrecognised engines) Which means JASS will only work in conjunction with OpenJK on legacy mods (i.e. not using the new module API)

The opposite. Slider never released JA+ code. I release JA++ code here. The holstered weapons feature is ported from OJP Enhanced, though. It could be added to JA++, I just don't have the time to add every single feature, especially those I wouldn't ever use. If someone else wants to add it and make a pull request, I'd happily merge it. That's part of the beauty of open-sourced code.

You can't use JA+ and JA++ together, it doesn't work like that. JA++ isn't an "addon" to JA+, it replaces it entirely and does not require it to function. The server is running EITHER JA+ or JA++, but never both. The client is running EITHER JA+ or JA++, but never both. You can however use a JA++ client on a JA+ server and vice versa.

Yes, the default config is now openjk(_sp).cfg. You can still /exec jampconfig.cfg to load your previous settings, but there are some differences in the default values for OpenJK (e.g. higher quality graphics/sound)

Newp. No point. People would be in both channels talking about various things. OpenJK is pretty much the main coding project for JA at the moment, and its discussion is totally relevant in #JACoders - there are also many links to #JACoders directly, it's a bit stupid to redirect people to #OpenJK to answer their questions there, when it's the same people in both channels talking about the same things. No point.

You shouldn't be running JA++ alongside JA+, it's meant as a replacement. Remove JA+ You also can't run a listen server (aka map/devmap from jamp.exe) with JA++, you have to use jampDed.
