Patch Release
Thank you for downloading the win32 dedicated server for Jedi Academy. This release is designed for server administrators running remote installations of servers, or for servers that do not have the proper video card to launch the game normally.
Note that this release requires a full installation of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for the server function.
Installing win32 dedicated server:
1. Make sure Jedi Academy is fully installed before proceeding.
1a. Make sure the jkacademy1_01.exe patch is installed as well!
2. Unzip the contents of the archive to the 'Gamedata' folder in the directory in which Jedi Academy is installed (e.g. "C:Program FilesLucasArtsStar Wars Jedi AcademyGameData"). This will put an example 'server.cfg' file in the 'base' folder which you can customize later on.
3. Open the 'server.cfg' file with a simple text editor, and make any changes necessary (as outlined in the 'server options.txt' included in this archive).
4. Create a shortcut to the jampded.exe by right-clicking on the file, then selecting 'Create Shortcut'. Then right-click on the shortcut, and select 'Properties'. In the 'Target' field, modify the text so it appears like this:
"C:Program FilesLucasArtsStar Wars Jedi AcademyGameDatajampDed.exe" +exec server.cfg
5. Launch the shortcut.
By default, the server will run in "internet" play mode and advertise its presence to the master server. If you wish to have a LAN play only server, change your server config to set dedicated 1, or change the command line options to:
+ exec server.cfg +set dedicated 1
Notes:
-The game will look in the base directory for pak and config files.

Install instructions:
On your linux box:
-Create a directory for the game. example:
mkdir /usr/local/games/ja
-Copy the linux binary into this directory
-Mark the file as executable. example:
chmod a+x /usr/local/games/ja/linuxjampded
-Create the 'base' directory. example:
mkdir /usr/local/games/ja/base
Note, YES, it is case sensitive and the program will look for all lower case
-Copy the files from the base directory of the retail CD into the base directory you just created. In particular, the assets0.pk3, assets1.pk3 and assets2.pk3. Yes, you need all of them...
-Copy the libcxa.so.1 to your lib directory if it doesn't already have it. Example:
cp libcxa.so.1 /usr/lib
Running the dedicated server:
-"cd" into the game directory (cd /usr/local/games/ja)
-Run the binary. An example is:
./linuxjampded +exec server.cfg
This example assumes you have created a configuration file called server.cfg and placed it into the "base" directory. An example server.cfg file is included with this distribution. You should modify it first before using it.
By default, the server will run in "internet" play mode and advertise its presense to the master server. If you wish to have a LAN play only server, change your server config to set dedicated 1, or change the command line to be:
./linuxjampded +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg
Notes:
-The game will look in the base directory or home directory of the user running the program (~/.ja/)
-If you set the logfile option to 1, the files will be stored in your user home directory in ~/.ja/base/
-Running the linuxjampded binary under FreeBSD use
brandelf -t Linux /usr/local/games/ja/linuxjampded
-If you are running the server behind a NAT box, any client machine also behind that NAT box will not be able to see the server listed in the "internet" list. Switch to the local lan setting instead.
