Pooky's new JK2 server

I've recently acquired a dedicated server for JK2. The version is 1.02a, the game is full force FFA. If you play JK2 at all, please come check out the new server with me!

Things you may need to play

JK2 downgrade to version 1.02:

http://jhclan.com/index.php?name=CmodsDownload&file=index&req=getit&lid=33

Only needed if your JK2 is not the original CD release. Turns any other version of JK2 back into the original, unpatched game. I strongly reccomend the unpatched version over any of the updates, as the updates ruined the gameplay badly. See video for reference.

No CD patch:
http://m0002.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_sw_jedi_knight_2.shtml#Jedi Knight 2 ALL VERSIONS [ENGLISH] No-CD Patch (https://rapidshare.com/files/2895371031/jk2mpNOCD.rar)

You'll need this if you got JK2 off Steam or one of the re-releases as the 1.02 version will ask for the original disk.

E: updated with a better no CD patch. This is the one I use, it's virus free and all that jazz and works for both SP and MP. If you got JK2 off the Steam version, it'll ask you if you want to search files (because the Steam version doesn't include the original launcher .exe). Just say no.

Dual Core fix:

https://rapidshare.com/files/2662885454/jk2_102a_fix.exe

Use this only if you get low framerates or crashes on dual core. Goes in the same directory as jk2mp.exe and runs alongside it, so don't delete anything.

ATI crash fix:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-3904904/atioglxx.dll.html (https://rapidshare.com/files/3827659106/atioglxx.dll)

You may need this if the game won't launch and you have AMD graphics. Goes in the same directory as jk2mp.exe

Assets8.pk3 model exploit fix:

http://www.file-upload.net/download-3904912/assets8.pk3.html (https://rapidshare.com/files/2499741969/assets8.zip)

Prevents people from using any kind of model exploits against you. A combination of the previously released assets7 and assets6 pk3s, with some additional features. Goes in your JK2\GameData\base folder. Be sure to remove this before playing single player or some things will look really weird.

Something else to note is that the game's default settings are kind of outdated and bad. To help new players along configuring their game, I'll post my personal .cfg file as an example


// Generic config for all modes
// The first section of the .cfg consists entirely of control bindings. I strongly recommend setting your binds in a custom .cfg rather than using the in game menus. Since all mods load seperate .cfg files, you'll frequently need to reset your controls and this is just a faster way to do it.
unbindall //Removes all your current key bindings. Since I frequently set binds to chat sayings or other random crap, I use this to ensure all my controls are reset when I load the game.
bind TAB "+useforce" //Use your currently selected force power. Not REALLY a necessary bind, since all good players bind their force powers to seperate keys anyway. I just like having it for completion's sake.
bind ENTER "+button2" //I honestly don't remember what this does. <_<
bind SPACE "+moveup" //Jump.
bind MWHEELUP "weapprev" //Previous weapon.
bind MWHEELDOWN "weapnext" //Next weapon.
bind MOUSE4 "force_pull" //Force Pull. If I could only choose one power to bind to a key, it would be this one. By far the most important force power in multiplayer. Bind this to an easy to reach place, preferably on your mouse, and get comfortable with using it.
bind MOUSE5 "force_throw" //Force Push. Not as vital as Pull, but still recommended to bind this in an easy to reach place.
bind CTRL "force_speed" //Force Speed.
bind v "force_seeing" //Force Sight.
bind V "force_seeing" // Force Sight. There's a bug in JK2 1.02 where the game recognizes lowercase and capital letters as seperate keybindings. Therefore if you're going to bind anything to a letter, you'd better make sure to bind both cases so you don't screw yourself over by accidentally pressing capslock.
bind - "forceprev" //Cycles back through force powers. Don't ever try to use this in a fight. I only have it bound so I can review what powers I have at a glance.
bind , "messagemode3" //Private message. Move your crosshair over another player and press this key to send a PM.
bind = "forcenext" //Cycles forward through force powers. Don't ever try to use this in a fight. I only have it bound so I can review what powers I have at a glance.
bind . "messagemode4" //Reply to a private message without having to locate and target the person who PM'ed you. This command is somewhat buggy, so I wouldn't rely on it for sensitive messages. Only included for completion's sake.
bind 0 "weapon 10" // Select explosives. This command is bugged in JK2 1.02 and won't let you select mines or detpacks unless you also have thermal detonators, so make sure you have weapnext and weapprev bound.
bind 1 "weapon 1" //Select lightsaber. Press again to turn the saber off. While the saber is active it'll emit noise and light that are easily noticeable even through walls. Some people also like to turn their saber off and bow before duels.
bind 2 "weapon 2" //Select pistol.
bind 3 "weapon 3" //Select blaster.
bind 4 "weapon 4" //Select sniper.
bind 5 "weapon 5" //Select bowcaster.
bind 6 "weapon 6" //Select repeater.
bind 7 "weapon 7" //Select demp gun.
bind 8 "weapon 8" //Select golan.
bind 9 "weapon 9" //Select rockets.
bind [ "invprev" //Cycles back through inventory. Don't ever try to use this in a fight. I only have it bound so I can review my inventory at a glance.
bind ] "invnext" //Cycles forward through inventory. Don't ever try to use this in a fight. I only have it bound so I can review my inventory at a glance.
bind ` "toggleconsole" //Binding the 'toggleconsole' command doesn't seem to actually do anything in JK2, but what the hell.
bind a "+moveleft" //Strafe left.
bind d "+moveright" //Strafe right.
bind k "engage_duel" //Target another player in your crosshair at close range and press engage_duel to challenge them to a no-force saber only duel. Do the same to accept a duel challenge. During duel mode you can't damage or be damaged by other players (except by saber throw glitching... but let's not get into that).
bind r "+use" //Use. In base jk2 this is only really used to get shields from those green trash cans in CTF. Some mods and custom maps however have objects which require the use key to activate.
bind s "+back" //Move backwards.
bind t "messagemode2" //Team chat.
bind w "+forward" //Move forward.
bind y "messagemode" //Standard chat.
bind h "+taunt" //Not bound by default. Makes your character hold out his arm and say something.
bind p "cg_thirdperson !" //Thirdperson mode. The ! means it's a toggle bind.
bind P "cg_thirdperson !" //Thirdperson mode. The ! means it's a toggle bind.
bind A "+moveleft" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind D "+moveright" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind K "engage_duel" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind R "+use" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind S "+back" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind T "messagemode2" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind W "+forward" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind Y "messagemode" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind H "+taunt" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind ~ "toggleconsole" //Repeat bind for capslock bug.
bind ALT "+speed" // Hold down to walk, or to run if you have "always run" set to off. But only dumb people do that.
bind SHIFT "+movedown" //Crouch. Tap it while moving to roll.
bind INS "scoresUp" //Scroll up through the scoreboard.
bind DEL "scoresDown" //Scroll down through the scoreboard.
bind END "team follow1" //Join spectator mode.
bind F1 "+scores" //Show the scoreboard. If you have "defer models" set to on (which I strongly reccomend), you can press this to refresh people's current player models.
bind F2 "use_bacta" //Use the bacta item.
bind F5 "use_field" //Use the forcefield item.
bind F4 "use_sentry" //Use the sentry item.
bind F3 "use_seeker " //Use the seeker drone.
bind F8 "kill" //Kill yourself. Mainly used in CTF so you can quickly respawn at your base.
bind F9 exec pooky.cfg //It's often useful to bind a key to execute your config so you can reset all your controls and settings with one button press.
bind MOUSE1 "+attack" //Primary fire.
bind MOUSE2 "+altattack" //Alt fire.
bind MOUSE3 "saberAttackCycle" //Cycle lightsaber styles.

seta r_customheight "900" //Custom vertical resolution.
set sensitivity "6.375000" //Overall mouse sensitivity. Find what works for you, then save it here.

seta com_hunkmegs "256" //Allows the game to use more memory than normal. Needed for some custom maps, and just makes things run better overall. Value in MB.
seta cg_speedtrail "0" //Enables or disables the force speed effect. Though it's a valuable indicator in combat, I turn it off because the effect annoys me.
set cl_allowdownload "0" //Enable or disable your game from autodownloading files from server. I turn it off to keep the game from downloading shit I don't want. Most servers these days disable auto download anyway.
seta con_notifytime "20" //Changes how long console messages remain on screen. The default time is really short and makes it easy to miss what people say, so I make it slower.
seta r_swapinterval "0" //Enables or disables vsync. If you're using com_maxfps for optimum jumping, you want to make sure vsync is disabled.
set name "^7^6^7Herpaderp^5" //Your name. Color codes are ^1 through ^6

If you want to use this, copy and paste the contents into a blank text file and edit it to your liking.

Name it "yourconfig.cfg" and place it in JK2/GameData/base. If you want the config to execute automatically when you launch the game, open your shortcut and add onto the target line " +exec yourconfig.cfg".

Note that I don't have all my force powers bound here. That's because I use a custom set of .cfgs and binds to select force powers. It's a good idea to make seperate configs for light and dark side, then bind those configs to keys, like so.


// test config file for Darkside
//
bind MOUSE5 "force_throw"
bind MOUSE4 "force_pull"
bind CTRL "force_speed"
bind x "+force_lightning"
bind q "force_forcepowerother"
bind e "+force_grip"
bind g "force_rage"
bind f "+force_drain"
bind v "force_seeing"
bind X "+force_lightning"
bind Q "force_forcepowerother"
bind E "+force_grip"
bind G "force_rage"
bind F "+force_drain"
bind V "force_seeing"


// test config file for Lightside
//
bind MOUSE5 "force_throw"
bind MOUSE4 "force_pull"
bind CTRL "force_speed"
bind e "force_protect"
bind q "force_absorb"
bind g "force_heal"
bind f "force_healother"
bind x "force_distract"
bind v "force_seeing"
bind E "force_protect"
bind Q "force_absorb"
bind G "force_heal"
bind F "force_healother"
bind X "force_distract"
bind V "force_seeing"

To select your force powers by .cfg, copy the contents of these into two configs called "lightside.cfg" and "darkside.cfg". Then you can bind keys to "exec lightside" and "exec darkside" to set all your force power binds. This allows you to have both force sides bound on the same set of keys.

I'll also post a link to my personal graphics mini-mod. It's a compilation of various small tweaks that make the game that much better for competitive play. Alterations include the HUD, sniper scope, saber trails, hit marks, and so on. Some parts were made by me, some by others.

http://www.file-upload.net/download-4061069/zzzzgfx.pk3.html (https://rapidshare.com/files/3743931264/zzzzgfx.pk3)

Custom saber trail and HUD. Saber trails only appear after you swing your saber, and remain active even if you get knocked down. They're a valuable gameplay indicator that your saber is currently active and will hurt like fuck if someone touches it. However, the default saber trails blend in with the saber beam making it hard to tell if the saber is active or not. Making the trails a smooth solid color fixes that, and it looks cool.

The HUD is an edit of the default which simply removes all unnecessary or distracting parts, giving you that much more screen space.

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6674/shot0012mg.jpg

Custom sniper scope. The default scope heavily restricts your field of view and doesn't even have a proper crosshair. This fixes that.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/1255/shot0014j.jpg

Custom saber hit marks. By default the saber doesn't give you any indication of a successful hit other than a small noise. With this, you can easily see exactly how much damage you're doing.

There are various other fixes as well. Again, I didn't make everything in this .pk3, though I did make some things. I decided to consolidate everything into a single file for convenience, and because JK2 gets kind of buggy when you have too many custom .pk3s. Goes in JK2/GameData/base.

People should join. We've had a few randoms come in and its been fun.

[Pooky]

Hell, we had almost a full house yesterday and it was pretty awesome. Even got p0lar to join. Anyone who's tired of random noskill bullshit games like CoD would do well to give JK2 a try. It's by far the deepest and most challenging multiplayer game I've ever played.

Copy into a text file and save as demo.cfg

Once executed, press F12 to start recording a demo. When you're done, press F10 to stop recording and cycle to the next demo slot. Good for up to 30 demos.

I would love to join if I had the game. It looks fun.

It's 10 bucks on Steam. 20 gets you the whole series.

those videos are such bad quality that it wasn't even worth uploading them. Can't tell what's going on.

[Pooky]

First off, I didn't make those. They were made years ago when youtube wasn't nearly as good as it is now. Second, you don't even play JK2 so why do you care? I posted those for the benefit of the people who play on the server with me.

[Cortexian]

Just because I don't play with you doesn't mean I haven't played JK2 before!

[Pooky]

Point, but you don't really seem like the type. If you did it was probably as a 1.04 noob :D

[Cortexian]

Nah it was waaaay back when it first came out and I still had my installation CD-ROM.

[Pooky]

Nice. Should come play on the server some time then, the original gameplay hasn't aged a bit.

Actually, it got a lot better with age as people discovered new tactics and tricks. Just don't install the patches.
