Wish_Master2100 Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I'm a begginer to the world of modding, and I was wondering if someone could tell me where to extract the files to. I just downloaded a few skins, and a light saber, but none seem to work. Can someone give me directions of where to extract them? Also where to extract maps etc for future use Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 After you unzip the file. (I usually unzip it in the GAME DATA folder to make it easy) Drag the pak3. files over into your BASE folder. All you really need is the pk3 files. The rest is just instructions and garbage. Just make sure the pk3 files are in your BASE folder and everything should be fine. If you need more help http://pruklan.tripod.com/ has some good tips for loading mods, maps and skins. Nosaj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish_Master2100 Posted August 11, 2002 Author Share Posted August 11, 2002 It doesn't seem to be working. Whenever I start the game up it comes up with this message; ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Botfiles//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////) = 70) Help!!??!

razorace Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 You have JK2 installed in too long of a directory path name. The JK2 engine isn't designed for huge path names. Reinstall it to a simplier path name like "c:\games\Jedi Knight 2\". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Jodi Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 It funny you should mention the MAX_QPATH length! I get that when I load up Single Player. Not that it really bothers me nowadays as I play MP and that loads up fine but it's annoying nonetheless. The weird thing is that it never used to happen. This my error: ERROR: filename length > MAX_QPATH ( strlen(Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast/GameData/mods/models/players/boss_purple/) = 70) Weird, I've searched for that file and can't find it to delete it (?). If I reinstall I don't want to dun the risk of losing 800meg+ of maps and skins - any hints and tips? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Just copy all your addition Mods/maps/etc. to a temp. directory while you reinstall the game. Don't try to find the "problem" file. It isn't the file's fault and you need that file. The engine wasn't designed to run in a huge directory path like the one that Raven decided to have as the default. Strange but true.

thehomicidalegg Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 reinstallation doesnt delete mods/maps/skins/ etc, and you can select not to delete cfgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 yes,but they'll be left behind in the old install directory. You'll have to manually move they to the new game directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
