====Note====
============
This will only work with people who have Jedi Academy installed with Wine. Sorry cedega losers. It seems that $5 wont let you use this. :-)
====================
====Installation====
====================
Put this file in your $home folder. Ain't that easy. No gamedata folders to deal with. :-)
For this script to work, you will need to make a symbolic link of each mod folder. This is how you do it:
Go to your Gamedata folder (ok so maybe it is involved). Right click the folder and click "create link". Cut and paste the newly created folder in your $home folder. Rename it to the name the original name. IE: japlus => link to japlus => japlus
=======================
====The File Itself====
=======================
You have to read this part for the file to work. I wanted it in a separte place in the readme.
Ok, open up the file with your favorite text editor. Find the line that begins with dir=. Change the '/locaton/of/gamedata/folder' to the actual location of the gamedata folder DO NOT REMOVE THE QUOTES.
Next look for the line that begins with the letters cd. Do the same above and DO NOT REMOVE THE QUOTES.
Next, you need to enable permissions for the script. Type sudo chmod 777 ja.sh. It will ask you for your password. Enter it. Now its all setup.
To run the script, open up a terminal and type ./ja (name of mod) The names will be listed later in the readme.
===================
====Description====
===================
Ok, I am not the original author as stated in the file. I merely added other mods and created the idea of this. This will let your load everyday mods on your linux box with out going into the game to load it. Here are the names of the compatible mods and their commands:

Movie Battles 2.....................................................mb2
Forcemod 3..........................................................fm3

Lugormod............................................................lm

You can also see these by just typing ./ja.sh in the console.

====One good Windows joke====
=============================
A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple of really important executives on board into Seattle airport. There is fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out. He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel and his passengers are very nervous. At last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. Circling, the pilot banks and shouts through his open window: "Hey, where am I?". The solitary office worker replies: "You're in an airplane.". The pilot immediately executes a swift 275 degree turn and executes a perfect blind landing on the airport's runway five miles away. Just as the plane stops, the engines cough and die from lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot how he did it. "Elementary," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100% correct but absolutely useless; therefore, I knew that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is three minutes away on a course of 87 degrees.
