stevenw9 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I noticed that the StartOJPEnhanced.bat file does not work with Vista 64-bit. Because of this, I am providing a fix which is really simple to those who are decent with command lines, but is rather difficult for those who aren't this computer literate. Firstly, open notepad as administrator. Hit the open button and navigate to Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData. Once there, open StartOJPEnhanced.bat. Replace the text with this (Provided by Nizwiz): cd %~d0%~p0 start jamp.exe +set fs_game ojpenhanced Save. BAM, the file will now work properly.

Mikouen Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Original works fine for me. How on earth did that '(x86)' get in your Program Files folder name? Windows Vista doesn't do that, it uses the standard 'Program Files' designation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 @stevenw9 It sounds like you possibly moved the StartOJPEnhanced.bat from the gamedata folder? In which no it won't work, you can do what you did or have a shortcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows Vista doesn't do that, it uses the standard 'Program Files' designation.... It's 64 bit Vista specific: the "Program Files(x86)" folder is where 32 bit applications are stores as opposed to "Program Files" for 64 bit applications. I guess when programs are started from the x86 location, Vista enters some compatibility mode or something, but I'm not sure. BTW, I'd suggest this fix instead: cd %~d0%~p0 start jamp.exe +set fs_game ojpenhanced The magic symbols "%~d0%~p0" are expanded by the shell to the folder the batch file is stored in, so you gotta put it into your GameData folder (and then create a shortcut to your Desktop/Program Menu/QuickStart Menu/whatever).

stevenw9 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Sorry, yes this is 64-bit specific. The folder route is different as stated. Perhaps a 64-bit specific bat file should be included? Either way, thanks for the comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does way too much pointless stuff and not enough productive stuff to make the extra expenses worthwhile for... well... anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxstate Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Poor. poor 64 bit At least 64 bit systems support more RAM that we all need.... right?...right? Who the **** needs 128 gigabytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nizwiz Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You need 64 bit as soon as you have more than 3 gigs of RAM (32 bits can address up to 4 GB nominally, but because of a well-known limitation of 32 bit Windows, nearly 1 GB of the address space is wasted on other things, so 3.x GB tops). And there are gaming rigs (not including my comp BTW) that have 8 gigs of RAM, which doesn't sound too oversized, now, does it? (Well, I'd say no more oversized than 1.5 gigs of video RAM, Kouen ).
