I don't have time for testing, but this app is exactly what I think JA should have been like in the first place: user friendly.

 

No weird console commands á la "\set_g_sabertracesaberfirstvariable_c_123344" but something intuitive that everyone can easily learn how to operate.

 

This is what I like to see the community doing. Not "Cool flashy 2 triple bladed sabers wielding amidala new roxxoring skin"-mods.

 

:thumbsup:

Couldn't have said it better. I will definitely be using this when it comes out for my server...

I am fine with using cfg files, but this is definately very helpful!

 

I hope you put saberlockingprobabilities, warmup time variables (not just on or off, but the amount of warmup time in seconds), saberdamagescale, sabertracesabefirst toggle, etc.

 

There are probably more console commands than can be put into a program like this, but you seem to have nailed the main ones which will help a lot of people (especially new hosts) configure their settings to their liking!

 

 

Great job.... can't wait to try it.

Below is a server cfg created with JA Runner. If you see any mistakes or omissions please let me know and I make the applicable changes. The map cycle was created with JA Runner's map wizard.

1. I think com_HunkMegs must now be set from the command line. There have been posts in the forums quoting sources from Raven that this has been changed from jk2.

 

2. Default value for sv_fps is 20 for JA

 

3. Lots of new sabers and saber dynamics in JA, some g_saber cvars have been changed to d_saber cvars such as:

 

d_saberBoxTraceSize "0"

d_saberAlwaysBoxTrace "0"

d_saberGhoul2Collision "1"

 

and they are flagged as cheat-protected. Additional saber cvars:

 

g_saberWallDamageScale "0.4"

g_saberBladeFaces "1"

 

4. g_maxForcerank set as 0 (no Force), should be 6 or 7 default (I like 7 Jedi Master)

 

5. Holocron FFA gametype deleted (unfortunately) so g_maxHolocronCarry superfluous

 

6. Add g_weaponTeamRespawn cvar to g_weaponRespawn so that weapon respawning during CTF, TFFA, etc. can be varied

 

7. Additional dueling cvars:

g_powerDuelStartHealth "150"

g_powerDuelEndHealth "90"

g_duelWeaponDisable "1"

g_allowHighPingDuelist "1"

g_showDuelHealths "0"

g_slowmoDuelEnd "0"

 

8. Raven changed some gametype numbers from JK2, which you probably have but I want to make sure:

g_gametype:

0=Free For All

3=Duel

4=Power Duel

6=Team Free For All

7=Siege

8=Capture the Flag

 

Server admins, if you have been configuring your servers by editing the .cfg file, you are going to love Jedi Academy Runner.

Very nice, TheAphextwin. It's good to see some useful mods being made that can assist people and improve their experience of the game. :thumbsup:

 

I probably won't run a server myself, but I can already see how useful this utility will be.

 

What I would like to see is a client-side server-browser with more detail, so you know exactly what you are getting into when joining a server. I wonder if it's possible to modify the format you have there, and use it from the client's side...

It would be great if all server-operators would register their servers at http://www.jk3servers.com. It lists all registered servers and gives a very nice summary screen if you click on the server's IP address. You can see my servers here:

 

http://www.jk3servers.com/status.php?ip=66.98.176.193&port=29070&sec=30

 

and here:

 

http://www.jk3servers.com/status.php?ip=66.98.177.150&port=29070&sec=30

 

The All Seeing Eye and Qtracker (after it's been updated to handle JA) are also superior to the ingame browser (and actually list servers! Thanks Raven!)

Yes, I already use All Seeing Eye, and it's been a boon for playing MP until the in-game server browser is fixed (if it ever is).

 

Anyway, ASE still doesn't have enough information. I'd prefer to see a lot more information, including the rules of the server, the MOTD, NF/FF, SO, Mods, settings for Saber damage, speed, etc. Basically anything that alters the way the game is played on that server, so I can make a more informed choice.

 

I agree that it would be nice if all servers registered at the end of that link, but it's unlikely to happen. It would also be nice if the dev/publisher had come up with an 'official' site for this kind of server registration, which might appeal to a wider range of people, and encourage a more global representation. Most of the servers registered there are in the US.

 

I don't know how viable it is to scan servers for the level of details I'm talking about. It would probably be counter-productive, and take too much time to get the server info, especially for a large number of servers.

 

Still, I can dream... ;)

Amidala from Chop Shop,

 

Thanks for the valuable information, I'll jump on this today. Oh and I still have not forgotten about Jedi Chat, just been real busy with EF2 Runner, Breakthrough Runner and of course JA Runner

:D

 

FYI, hunkmegs, soundmegs and zonemegs are set on the command line.

I'm definetly gonna try this.

 

I've been meaning to host a small lil duel/power duel server.

This will definetly help me.

 

I'll DL it tonight and give it a test run.

 

By the way... is there any documentation that comes with the Runner? Some of those commands i'm not too familiarized with.

 

Oh and a bit of topic, but what's the sugested max players for a 512/128 cable connection?

 

Cheers.

Your upload speed determines how many clients you can serve.

128,000bits/sec upload \8bits/byte = 16,000bytes/sec

 

If you set sv_maxrate = 4000 so you can host the maximum number of players but still have acceptable gameplay,

 

16,000 \ 4000 = 4 players over the Internet, plus additional players if they don't connect to your server using your cable connection (i.e. they connect to the server with a LAN)
