Darth Kaan Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 The newgame.menu file has changed from the one in JO and the old method for getting a mod to load from the menu by changing: "uiScript startgame" to "exec gamestart.cfg" won't work. Anyone figured out how to load a mod from the menu in JA yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Er, load the mod like any other mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about but Rich Whitehouse from made it sound like SP mod loading might be broken (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Funny, I managed to get the Occupation 2 mod to load up in Jedi Academy with no modifications. Sure...the menu went totally weird and all, and when I went to New Game it loaded JAs text crawl instead of mine - but then the opening cutscene from Occupation 2 loaded....

I have this problem, my SP mod loads and my custom menu shows up fine. When I launch the game, my text crawl and opening cutscene play, but then it starts JA's first map instead of mine... Now, if I put the .pk3 into the base folder and load it up using the console, everything works great. However, I won't release a SP level if it can't be loaded as a mod and work properly. BTW, I tried Occupation 2 in JA just to see what would happen. It did the exact same thing my mod did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Sounds like we have a bit of a different setup somewhere then, you get the text crawl, I got JA's - then you got JA's first level and I got my own loading up! Oh, the whole thing crashed when I tried to pick up my lightsaber, and I started with no guns - so I guess the weapons are done differently too.

razorace Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 From my testing, the SP mod loading menu isn't using your .pk3 files to override the defualt assets (at least for the animation.cfg). It's possible that this applies to other stuff as well. I know that Raven is looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they should start with the newgame.menu file There is no "uiScript startgame" line in it to change to "exec gamestart.cfg" like there was in the JO newgame.menu file so there is no way to use a gamestart.cfg in conjunction with it like we did in JO.

razorace Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I have no clue what this *.menu stuff is that you're talking about. I'm just refering to using the mod menu in SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why Occupation 2 is loading then - I'm pretty sure thats what I did. I put the gamestart.cfg file in the pk3 itself not outside like some people, but I dunno? Maybe just copy across the newgame.menu file from a JO mod, use the gamestart.cfg and you'll find it works...or at least works a little! Razorace, Kaan is talking about the various menu files you can alter to load up up an SP mod with a custom menu and have it load your map when you go to newgame.

Darth Kaan Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Thats how I did mine too. I 'll try it without a custom menu and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
