Overview
This mod is the official mod for the Jedi Academy. A server-side only modification designed to keep the peace and order on the servers. This is the final chapter of this great series for Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast®. With that in mind, I set out and improved this mod a great deal that makes it stand out from its preceding versions. It's loaded with Admin Commands, Client Commands, Emotes, Options, and cVars; Extremely modified to meet any clans expectations. This is truly the only mod you will ever need to get that doesn't alter the normal gameplay of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast® Please visit us at http://www.thejediacademy.net or on IRC at #jedi-academy, irc.quakenet.org

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 +exec academy.cfg
Script:
Place in location of your server's jk2 root directory.
View the cron script by using the crontab -1 command to see the script.
Next edit the script using the crontab -e command and map the path to the perl script.
If you wish to Back-up at 5 am every week, every month, type the following.
0 5 * * 0 /path/jk2root/jk2logbackup.pl
If you wish to have an email sent to you in case the script fails, type MAILTO="your email"
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 +exec academy.cfg
IMPORTANT:
For the Ban code, you will need to authorize FULL Admin access to the academy folder.
Windows: Make sure you have an administrator account.
Linux: command = man chmod, then follow on screen instructions.
Server Side Only Installation
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.
Modifications
Various Trainer and Knight commands
Logging of player IP when player connects to the server. Logging happens in the following format:
mlog_ClientConnect: <player client id> '<player name>' -> '<player ip>'
Logging of Trainer and Knight commands. Every command will be logged in the following format:
mlog_command <playername>
Removed the 2 player at a time duel limit.
Sabers don't automatically ignite at the start of a duel.
"No bacta rule" is now working for duels.
Voting system is now limited for Trainer use only.
When player wins a duel he now gets up to 25 shield points as well as the full 100% health.
Typing !motd or !rules when saying something shows the motd to the player who said it.
Typing !version or !author when saying something shows the version number and author.
Typing !home or !web when saying something shows the JA home page link.
Setting the g_allowDuelSuicide to 1, will enable the clients to use \kill during private duels.
Setting damage for all the moves.
Various emotes.
Fixed Red Stance kick bug, are now able to kick those that use Red.
Invisible Saber Bug fix.
Spectator following/saber throw bug fixed.
g_banIPs cvar removed because it is no longer needed.
g_mMOTDShowTime, g_mSlapKnockDownTime - converted to seconds
Rcon, Admin, and Knight commands
NOTE: [..] are optional
<..> are required
playerid => Can be a client id, full player name or partial player name. For example if there's a player named 'Padawan' and you want to kick him you can use this: mkick pad; mkick pada; mkick wan; etc. (Just watch out if there are more players with the same sequence in their name. At this point only the first encountered player is taken for the command. Also note that the keyword 'all' has special meaning. Most commands take the 'all' keyword to execute the command on all players on the server.
reason => This sends a message to both the server and the client consoles when a player is kicked or kick-banned. For example you can type: "\amkick pada please follow the rules next time." This will send the message "please follow the rules next time" to the server. Also message will be sent to the person's console. (They can scroll up in their console when they are disconnected)
