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. With that in mind, I set out and improved this mod with the way I wanted it to in the past. It's loaded with Admin Commands, Client Commands, 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: Jedi AcademyŽ Please visit us at http://www.thejediacademy.net, http://jamod.jk3files.com or on IRC at #jedi-academy, #ja-reloaded @ irc.quakenet.org. Linux version coming soon!!!

Installation

Linux:
Create a directory like this:
/home/.../ja/reload
where '/home/.../ja/' is the path where you installed Jedi Academy.
you may also need to overwrite the file in your base folder. Now you can start the server with the '+set fs_game reload' argument.

Example:
./linuxjampded +set fs_game reload +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg +exec reloaded.cfg

Script:
Place in location of your server's ja 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/jaroot/jamplogbackup.pl
If you wish to have an email sent to you in case the script fails, type MAILTO="your email"

Modifications

  • Various Admin 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.
  • When player wins a duel he now gets up to 25 shield points as well as the full 100% health.

  • 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.
  • g_banIPs cvar removed because it is no longer needed.
  • g_mMOTDShowTime - 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)
Rcon command Trainer command Knight command Description
minfo aminfo aminfo Show all the available commands. The aminfo version also works for normal clients, but only Trainers and Knights get to see the admin info. The number value next to the command is what needs to be added to your cvar total in order to enable that command.
mhelp amhelp amhelp Quick Help for commands available in mod.
mwhois amwhois jkwhois Shows you which client is logged in as a Jedi Trainer and/or Jedi Knight.(512)
  amlogin <password> jklogin <password> Trainers and Knights use this to login as an admin.
  logout logout Trainers and Knights use this to logout as an admin.
mstatus [playerid] amstatus [playerid] jkstatus [playerid] Altered version of status. This version sends less info to get passed the bug in the regular status where not all lines are send to the console. If a playerid is given the selected player will get a full screen display of the status. This is primarily for binding admin commands:
bind m rcon mstatus <Your player name here>(131072)
mkick <playerid><reason> amkick <playerid><reason> jkkick <playerid><reason> Same as kick but enhanced to also take a clientid or a partial player name and a reason from the admin for being kicked.

msleep <playerid> amsleep <playerid> jksleep <playerid> If there's someone on the server behaving badly this can be used to put them 'to sleep'. When asleep the player lies on the ground and can't move, jump, attack, etc. Player can still talk however. This can work wonders on those players that keep coming back after you keep kicking them.
sleepgun (AdminGun command)(1)
mwake <playerid> amwake <playerid> jkwake <playerid> Wake the player if he's asleep (undo the effects of msleep).
wakegun (AdminGun command)

Message CVars

These CVars are custom messages that can be set for certain commands. This is what players see when a command is executed. Note that some commands allow the use of %s to be replaced with the affected player's name. Also note that in most CVars a \n can be used to insert an enter.

Known Issues

  • When changing some message CVars you can use '%s' to add the player name to the message. When changing the message in the console however, the '%' becomes a '.' so the name won't be displayed. A workaround for this is to only change the values in the config and rerun it.
  • The am/jk commands need a '/' or '\' (without quotes) in front of them when executing. Else the command will be shown as a talk command to all players.


FAQ

  • Installation instructions confuse me, is there a more detailed way to install?


    • -Yes, An reloaded folder in the root directory. Also, make sure inside the reloaded folder are these files.
    1) A jampgamei386.so
    2) reloaded.cfg
    3) BanIP.dat
    4) Readme.htm
    When all of these files are in, the mod should load with no problems. Open up the reloaded.cfg file and edit the cvars that control the passwords. After this, save the file and close it. Add the arguments
    +set fs_game reloaded +exec reloaded.cfg +exec server.cfg to your start.sh file
    Save the shortcut, and double click it to launch.

  • Why is the new config so short?


    • -Every default setting for JA Reloaded has been hardcoded in the mod to
    1) Shorten the size of the config file
    2) Be much easier to set up, even if you do not run config files.
    The Readme.htm lists all cVars that are in the mod. Just type those that you wish to change in the config file. An example for Admin Password, it would be:
    seta g_mAdminPassword "mypass"
    You will need to place a ( seta ) in front of all cVars you change. Once you have edited all that you want in the config (reloaded.cfg or server.cfg ) When you launch your server be sure to use the \exec command to execute your script.
    example: \exec reloaded.cfg

  • What is this Bit Value Thingy?


    • -You have to add the numbers together to get a value which you place in the g_mAdminCommands cvar or g_mKnightCommands cvar. example: If you just want amkickban, amsleep, and amstatus commands for "am" admin. You would first look up their bit value.
    kickban = 4096
    sleep = 1
    status = 131072
    Now add those together 4096+1+131072 = 135169
    You will now set g_mAdminCommands to 135169 in your reloaded.cfg file. (seta g_mAdminCommands "135169")
    This same pattern goes for both of the new bit value cvars (g_mAdminCommands, g_mKnightCommands)
