Installation
Linux:
Create a directory like this:
/home/.../jk2/academy
where '/home/.../jk2/' is the path where you installed Jedi Knight II. Now you can start the server with the '+set fs_game academy' argument.
Example:
./jk2ded +set fs_game academy +exec server.cfg
Windows:
Create a directory like this:
X:\...\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\academy
where 'X:\...\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\' is the path where you installed Jedi Knight II. Now you can start the server with the '+set fs_game academy' argument.
Example:
jk2mp.exe +set fs_game academy +exec server.cfg
Note: There is an enclosed bat file that does this for you, Just run it from the gamedata folder when in Windows to skip the GUI mod loading.
Installation - making the mod truly server-side
If you install the mod the way as described with a pk3 file, the client will still have to download it when he connects. To prevent this, since Jedi Academy Mod is serverside only, You need to put all files in academy folder. The directory should now appear like ...../jk2/gamedata/academy under Windows or \ ...../jk2/academy under Linux. Under this dir there will be a vm dir with one .qvm file in it as well as the academy.cfg file. Now when a client connects he should not have to download the mod before he can enter the game.
