Loading and Cutscenes gone awry

[mikroba]

Hi!

 

I have several problems with the game.

 

-1.My rendered cutscenes, just like the intro, and the logos are way too choppy.

How can I disable them, or solve this problem.

 

-2.My game hangs, when I load a game. I can start a new game, but when I die, I can only restart it, because if I load a quick, or normal save it just stops loading after a few seconds.

 

Can anyone tell me what should I do to solve these problems.

 

Maybe it sounds impossible, but I run the game on a ThinkPad, wit an 8MB SavageIX, and a 750MHz PIII, everything is fine, the framerate is constant, and the game is beautiful, so I don't have gameplay issues.

 

Thanks for your attention!

Cheers,

mikroba

I dont know much about the savage chipsets but check for newer drivers with better open gl support or.....

 

Try using Wicked GL

You can find it here...

 

http://www.wicked3d.com/products/wickedgl/default.htm/

 

After you install WickedGL and quake3 drivers if nessicary, open Wglgames.cfg in wordpad. Half way down or so you'll see the line

 

"Quake 3",quake3.exe,opengl32.dll

 

DON'T CHANGE THE NAME IN QUOTES. Changing the name will prevent WickedGL's installer from running.

 

Change the line to...

 

"Quake 3",jk2sp.exe,opengl32.dll

 

Save, and exit. Install the GL drivers using the control panel

( It still says Quake 3 in the game box, but it will really work for Jedi Knight Outcast)

 

 

------------------------------------

AFTER INSTALLING WICKED GL

 

Also if the sky and the gamma is still messed up then do this...

 

You will need to open the jk2mpconfig.cfg file in Wordpad and change a few numbers.

This file is located in: "\Jedi Outcast\GameData\base"

 

To fix the sky, find the line that reads:

seta r_fastsky "1"

 

Change the 1 to a 0 and the sky should reappear.

 

Now, to fix the gamma, find the line that reads:

seta r_ignorehwgamma "0"

 

Change the 0 to a 1 and the gamma should be normal.

 

Save the file, load JO and you should be good to go.
