help with .pk3 editing

***NOOB ALERT***

 

Hi guys

 

First time poster here but long time fan.

 

I am trying to edit my assets1.pk3 file to modify the dismemberments to 100 percent probability. I had tried editing jaconfig and also editing the target line on my JASP shortcut. Both worked 100 percent until I got to the level with where you rescue rosh (taspir2?)

 

However all attempts to editing the NPC files in assets1 (example C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base\ext_data\npcs\stormtrooper.npc) have failed. I unpacked assets1 using winrar, then edited the individual npc files where they had dismemberprob options to 100 and now most npc's wont spawn.

 

Any easier way to do this? Thanks in advanced

Download pakscape and open assets1 with pakscape.

After that go to extdata and there will be a npcs file cfg file.Open the npc file with notepad,and there will be all the people with dismemberment info.

I think you can achieve the same outcome by setting g_dismemberProbabilities to 0; not entirely sure, though.

thanks I'll try out pakscape.

 

set g_dismemberProbabilities to 0 in jaconfig? Wouldn't that greatly decrease it though? Thanks tho ill try it out.

1. You can do it on the console; also, it could be that it's cheat protected - don't know off the top of my head.

2. I think it means "turn dismemberment probabalities off". In jk2sp, from my personal experience, it did make all limbs dismember pretty often (with g_dismemberment set to 3), regardless of the probablities written in the npc files. As for jasp, I'm not so sure. Dismemberment sucks in jk3 compared to jk2.
