RAILBACK

Also, would openJK help at all?

I have the latest driver. I have zero issues with JA, with maxed out settings. I wont change any drivers because its a minor issue. I can still play everything normally except for adding bots. Maybe its the extreme triangle count? I think that most onboard graphics shouldn't have any issues with quake games. However, many players are posting problems with integrated graphics.

Yes my PC restarted once but didnt do it again. The screen freezes so I usually restart to get the screen back to normal from bright. Why doesnt JA do this? I already stated its OUTCAST and not JA. Im well aware of how far video support has come along. Yes I have played in windowed mode. Sometimes I have issues, sometimes not. Xycaleth, you seem to have a grasp of whats going on. Any ideas why one game freezes and not the other? Its vitually the same game.

Yes that's what it is even with the latest drivers. So the issue is this: Jedi Academy (and Jedi Outcast) games are built on top of the Quake III engine, which uses OpenGL, not Direct3D. Get an nVidia card if you want to play these games. (Because ATI's OpenGL support is hit and miss as well on Windows.) Quote from Wikpedia: A very famous complaint was made by high-profile game developer John D. Carmack in his .plan file in which he urged Microsoft to abandon Direct3D in favor of OpenGL. So there it is.

I have a princess leia hologram in one of my levels. 2 part shader.

heh. Well no I never seen one. Sounds like a lot of work though.

Nope. Only that my screen and PC was frozen. Otherwise YES, I would have provided some information. It's a windows 7 PC. ATI Radeon 4300/4500.

I thought I would stick this here as I didn't really find a lot of subject on this site about it. And there is quite a lot of new players from the Steam community asking about these games crashing and not working. Some people have a specific PC / rig and have major issues. Others might have the same PC and OS and have no issues. Can anyone shed some more light on this? Is it a development issue or are there more specifics? For example, I just went to test a couple levels the other day on Jedi Outcast. I added 2 bots, joined the game and my PC froze. WTH? I've been running this game on this PC for the last 2 years with no issues. Now all of a sudden I add BOTs of all things and it crashes?!?! No bots, it runs just fine. JA has no issues. I think the major issues for other players for the most part is that the game doesn't run AT ALL. When it's first fired up, it crashes immediately. I know the game doesn't cost that much but it seems to be riddled with issues. It would be nice if these people had more solutions here that they havn't tried already.

Anything above 40 (by yourself in the map) is good for MP. That should be your goal because as soon as players come in it drops obviously.

TRUE. Not true. ID is responsible for that.

Found this picture.... http://image.jeuxvideo.com/imd/s/star_wars_annulation.jpg

THANKS! This is what I was looking for Circa. But my search revealed nothing....??? So can you delete my other thread?.

Nice HD.

I wish Jeff. If we get paid even a small amount I might dedicate more time.... Can we crowd fund?

Yea I'm not sure what the hypes about. Its a small petition. Then I saw the new Battlefront. Its a lot of eye candy. Just wondering if it's any good because it's an EA game. But that shouldn't matter.

^^ YUP. Started playing Dark Forces first. Then I discovered JK2 in 2002 when it first came out. I quickly joined LucasForums.

Hah... JAWS, see your sig.

So its a '300' ladder. Nice. I cant quite see the skins you have. And I would like to see a duel ladder map with a different set up. Maybe echo the hot gates?

RE: Spawning NPCs. Its under entities/NPC/ NPC_monster_rancor. You could even have him break out of some big cave, THROUGH the rock after it's triggered. Also, you need some better rock textures.

One of SJCs maps has a spawned Rancor. Is there not a spwanFLAG box you can check for NPCs in entities? LOL...he said 'tities'....

Interesting. I have some jungle trees and shrubs that are released. But you would never know to look there.... ;-)

I have the Helms Deep PK3 as well as the LOTR model pack for JK2.

Dam nice mod. I can ACTUALLY see the blocking...amazing.
