-Making my Mod show up on the Mod list in the game-

 

You need to have a Yourmodname.pk3 file in your ../jk2path/gamedata/Yourmodname directory

before it will show up on the in-game menu.

For creating a PK3 file, your just use Winzip, and the files in it should be the jk2mpgame.qvm and/or jk2mpcgame.qvm and/or jk2mpui.qvm depending of what packages u have changed. Also put the jk2*.map fle in it

Create a "description.txt" so that everyone knows how to install it and what it do , but dont put it in the Pk3 file, like someone i know ;0, just place it in your zip/rar/whatever file, with the pk3 in it.

Just remember to creat a VM directory and put the jk2*.qvm & the *.map(if it doesnt work, try putting the *.map file outside of the VM directory)files in it, b4 making the pk3 file.

 

there is another way of making the pk3 file, but this one works just fine.
