Expand SAB \ NPC files limit

[Asgarath83]

I have a little simply question about coding, shot not be too many difficult.

How is possible to expand the NPC and SAB file limitation number?

It's just a single #define. Search for the actual error that it throws when you get too many of them (".sab extensions are too large") and you should be able to find it easy.

here is it, for SP, is on game/WP_SABERLOAD.cpp

for MP is in codemp/bg_saberload.c

 

how i need to edit the field 0x80000?

how work the 0x "number" parameters? @@eezstreet. o.o

[Stoiss]

try give it at 0x100000

[Asgarath83]

Seems to works, thanks

[ehloismint]

Hey guys are you saying there is a way to remove the limit of .npc's for single player if you modify the .exe file?  If so, how do we do this?

[Stoiss]

Yes there is

search for this in the SP code or mp code and change it to the 0x800000

 

#define MAX_NPC_DATA_SIZE 0x40000

For example doubling it to 0x80000.

Which .exe file and what program do I open it with to edit and save changes?

[Asgarath83]

Which .exe file and what program do I open it with to edit and save changes?

Microsoft visual studio 12 + OpenJK pack and code downloadable by the forum, + cmake for build the solution

1 install Microsoft visual studio and all components.

2 install Cmake

3 download openjk

4 build Openjk solution with Cmake

5 Use visual studio to edit the file and build the dll and exe.

[ehloismint]

Thanks sir!

[Asgarath83]

Any time, when all is working build with batch build the release of jagamesx86.dll and of openjk_sp86.exe  . you can found your new exe and dll file into the release folder of the solution :3

[ehloismint]

Asgarath83, I tried to do this but I am getting nowhere.  Any chance you could send me your fixed .exe???

[Asgarath83]

Well, today i am coding... so i can do this. o.o for lucky i have an original copy of Openjk without my changes.

wait.

however this not remove the limit, this expand the limit.

[Asgarath83]

Asgarath83, I tried to do this but I am getting nowhere.  Any chance you could send me your fixed .exe???

 

Do it.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/iaqtoe

1 download here.

2 back up your gamedata files of Jedi academy

3 unzip to gamedata all files.

4 start the MP game with openjkx86 and the SP game with openjk_sp.x86 exe.

NOT use JASP or JAMP exe. they not work now.

5: enjoy. you must have a large amount of more buff space into NPC and SAB file,.

6 this work for SP and MP.

7: i have not tried because i need to take my Exe for my mod on my gamedata. let me know if all works, but you should be not have any trouble.

8 exe of my legacy of kain mod are WIP when i learn every time some of new of coding. i cannot send to you also because they are very personal at moment and you should find many malfunction because many edit i done are  setted to a specific assest of efx and gfx .

otherwise i can send you an openjk that have as unique edit the NPC \ SAB buffer expansion. 

here is it!

[ehloismint]

Thank you sir, I will try it!

[ehloismint]

Can someone send me a fixed .exe that doesn't require OpenJK?

[eezstreet]

Can someone send me a fixed .exe that doesn't require OpenJK?

It took me like 5+ hours of tooling to get the Jedi Knight 2 SP code to compile, I don't intend to do the same again here.

Why not just use OpenJK and edit it?

[ehloismint]

I don't like OpenJK.  C'mon if you can do it, send me a paypal request for your time....lol

[eezstreet]

I don't like OpenJK.  C'mon if you can do it, send me a paypal request for your time....lol

Why?

[ehloismint]

Why not?  LOL.  I don't want to use OpenJK.

if it's not a bother, could you please be a bit more specific? I literally downloaded and installed both cmake and and visual studio 2012 just to edit the code

 

thanks in advance 

[Tempust85]

If the define is in game code and you hate openjk, just edit the old mp sdk code?
