JK2++ IS A SERVER-SIDE MOD! NO CLIENT FILES ARE NEEDED!
More information can be found at http://dev.wdonline.com
File: jk2pp_beta3.zip
Size: 254kb
=============
Installation
=============
There are several ways to install JK2++.
1. (recommended)
Create a sub-directory called jk2pp in your gamedata directory. Place the jk2pp.pk3 file into the sub-directory of jk2pp. This installation will require those with auto-download enabled to download the jk2pp.pk3 file. Be sure to add +set fs_game jk2pp to the executable.
2. (also recommended)
Create a sub-directory called jk2pp in your gamedata directory. Create another sub-directory called vm in the jk2pp directory. Rename the jk2pp.pk3 file to jk2pp.zip. Open jk2pp.zip in your desired zip program. Drag the jk2mpgame.qvm file into the newly created vm sub-directory. This installation should not require any download for the client. Be sure to add +set fs_game jk2pp to the executable.
3. (recommended for some)
Place the jk2pp.pk3 file into your base directory. This method will require a download for those that have auto-download enabled. No addition to the executable is needed. Running Jedi Knight II will default to JK2++.
I have included both a Linux and Windows script for example purposes (for installation methods 1 & 2). To use these scripts, you will need to change the IP address and any other variable you prefer.
