razorace Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Ok, let's clear things up once and for all. ========= Singleplayer ========= Apprenently the lastest patch (1.01) changed how SP handles realistic saber combat. g_saberrealisticcombat no longer exists and g_sabermorerealistic is now write protected (and not even accessable with cheat mode). As such, you have three options on activating realistic saber combat / dismemberment. Both methods assume that you have model dismemberment turned on in your Setup->Options menu... 1. Use a modified menu to change the setting. I've personally done this change and will release it quickly if the demand is high. This is the easiest and quickest method. 2. Set the g_sabermorerealistic from the command line. Just add "+set g_sabermorerealistic number" to whatever method you use to start the game. 3. Add the g_sabermorerealistic setting (seta _sabermorerealistic number" to your autoexec.cfg. This will set the cvar whenever you start up the game. g_sabermorerealistic Settings ---------------------------- 0 = Off 1 = Boosted Damage 2 = Realistic Dismemberment 3 = Realistic Idle Damage ======== Multiplayer ======== Dismemberment for MP is easy but a two part issue. 1. Whoever is running the server must set g_dismember to a non-zero number. This cvar is set on a 0-100 percentage scale...... 0 = 0% chance of dismemberment 100% = 100% chance of dismemberment (when the conditions are correct) 2. Each client must set their cg_dismember setting to a non-zero number. cg_dismember Settings ------------------------- 0 = Off 1 = Hand Dismemberment only? 2 = Arm/Hand Dismemberment only? 3 = Full dismemberment allowed. That's all for know. I can write more about the individual methods if people request it. Sorry about any errors. It's bedtime and I'm tired.

Astrotoy7 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 ** Finishes reading Razoraces Post - Runs around the room screaming and pulling hair ! ** How did something so simple become so complicated.... Pre patch I had bound a key to g_saberrealisticcombat 2, and thats all i needed to keep me happy. post patch...... Thanks for that though Razorace, definitely the lowdown !

Akshara Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 How did something so simple become so complicated.... LoL... what's complicated is the 30 or so different versions of dismemberment that have been pasted across all the forums. It's enough to make one's head fall off... But seriously, way to go Razorace! Excellent clarification. Just to add... these cvars may by manually added directly into the jaconfig.cfg and jampconfig.cfg respectively as well. Works smooth as a stormtrooper's bottom... Could this be stickied with large neon blinking letters... please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00ki3 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Originally posted by Akshara Works smooth as a stormtrooper's bottom... ... Anyway, you obviously know how to use cvars, so why can't a cvar enabling/disabling kicks be added to the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLord60 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Nope I guess it does it. So your saying in the shortcut the target line should look like this "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\JediAcademy.exe"+seta g_sabermorerealistic 2" because that doesn't work it just says invalid target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannysil Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Pleaseeee include it in your next version of ojp,that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I know you cant just add that to your shortcut you also have to add it to the .exe file but would someone kindly show me how to do this with XP cause its diff with 98. I used to have to do this with half life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannysil Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 This is how i do it with win2000pro basically the same as xp.I right click on the exe and make a shortcut,then just right click on the shortcut and find the taget and just add to it.Hope this helps if not just ignore it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinny Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 for me iknowkungfu does wonders , then you can disable whatever you don't want and just work with the dismemberment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Here is what I am talking about. When I press apply I get that error. See I am use to doing this with 98 any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idontlikegeorge Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Um, JediAcademy.exe is the launcher program. Not the game program. The game program for single player is jasp.exe in the GameData folder. I'm just mentioning this because I don't think the launcher program carries over command line parameters to the game executable it targets...

Amidala from Chop Shop Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 1. Correct path is "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\jasp.exe" 2. Try set instead of seta, so entire shortcut is "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\jasp.exe" +set g_sabermorerealistic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 The difficulty in enabling full dismemberment probably has something to do with the family-friendly nature of the SW franchise image... ie: not wishing to make it super easy for little tykes to enable chopping up of body parts in a video game (but allowing smart mature gamers to pull it off if they want to). At least they didn't remove them entirely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshara Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Which suggestion did it? The +set added to the command line of jasp.exe. Are you sure that works? And without turning on cheat mode? Though I haven't played SP since the patch was released, I've yet to come across a cvar that didn't work when added to the jaconfig.cfg file directly. Cheat codes have to be added to an autoexec.cfg after HelpUsObi 1... but write-protected cvars usually work when added to the cfg files directly without cheat mode enabled. However, I have not personally tried the g_sabermorerealistic cvar in jaconfig.cfg since the patch was released; yet the fact it can work when added as a variable to the command line would lead me to believe it would still work the cfg-direct way as well.
