Beefotron X Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I am trying to start an SP game, and it won't start. This error message pops up. ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast/GameData/base/levelshots/) = 78) I reinstalled the game, twice. It still does this. It was working before, and now it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teleguy Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 The Enhanced Saber mod and the map reactor.pk3 can cause such errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefotron X Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 Thanks. I removed Enhanced Sabers and the Reactor level and now it works. I didn't like them that much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidoshi123 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 i don't have an enhanced saber so i don't have to worry about that. what i don't get is how to remove the reactor level...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that you even have the reactor map because of your error message. ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast/GameData/base/levelshots/) = 78) ------>reactor map ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Botfiles//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////) = 70) ------>enhanced saber mod To remove the map or the mod go to the Gamedata\base directory and look for reactor.pk3 and enhancedsabers.pk3 .

yoshidoshi123 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 you kno what your rite. i don't have the reactor level and i have no enhanced sabers. and i looked in gamedata/base. there are only two things. one says "assets0.pk3 and the other is assets1.pk3. thanks for your help but i still have a problem. so now what do i do?

Ballistic Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I had the very same error that read JK2: v1.03 win-x86 Initialising zone memory ..... ----- FS_Startup ----- • ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Botfiles//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////) = 70) My fix was to rename the enhancedsabers.pk3 file only when I want to paly single. And change it back when you want to paly on line. I thought perhaps the pathname was too long. So I uninstalled the game from program files and put it on my C drive under JK2. But that did not correct the problem. It started happening againwith yet another pk3 file named . Seems each time you download a new pk3 file, you run the chance of that file being too long as well. So I found the long file and renamed that also. And that worked. Just take notice of which ones are new when you start having this problem. And I hope JK2 will find a fix for this problem because I see where many other people have had this same problem. Like I said, you don't have to remove it, just rename it and change it back when you want to. If you do not have the enhancedsabers file, you can bet it is a different file. You just have to play with it to find out which one it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to play with it to find out which one it is. These errors are caused by too long paths within a pk3 file (there are directories in the pk3 files) . Instead of renaming the enhancedsabers file every time you want to play sp you can create a folder named Enhanced Sabers in your gamedata directory . Put the enhancedsabers.pk3 in this folder and you can load the mod in the mp mod menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidoshi123 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 ok wait a sec. you guys keep talkin about the enhanced saber files and some other stuff. what u have to understand is that i don't have one. i never installed anything into the game. i never added levels, i never modified anything, and i didn't add anything from the outside into the game.( if u guys read this please "IM" me at Azn Fast LIfe123 because this takes to long. it would be faster to talk on "IM" so please "IM" me so i can get this fixed. thanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleguy Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Are you sure there are only the assets files in your base folder ? Sometimes files are transferred from the server to your computer while connecting. Go to your GameData folder, rightclick on base and do a search for *.pk3 .
