It's ether one of two things:

1. There are two types of Mods, single player mods and multiplayer mods. They are not compatible. Make sure you're using the correct type for the game mode you want to play.

2. to get the Mod to show up in the mod menu you gotta it put into a new seperate folder (with the name of what you want it to be listed as in the Mod Menu) in the /gamedata folder.

Also I found out that mods wont appear in the SP without v. 1.04 patch. (worked for me)

*Kurgan* · 12-05-2002, 03:07 AM

Actually the 1.04 patch shouldn't affect single player at all (Single Player only recognizes 1.03... though 1.04 DOES INCLUDE the updates from 1.03, so go figure), since it was a multiplayer update.

The latest explanation for Kyle's saber color change has to do with the Star Wars liscense (which either changed since MotS came out in early '98, or else doesn't apply to LEC itself so much as it applies to third party companies):

In the "official" Star Wars canon (the films), Good Guys(tm) use either blue or green lightsabers (or purple if you're Mace Windu) and Bad Guys(tm) use red lightsabers.

So Raven admitted that they were held on a short leesh as it were for Single Player, meaning Kyle had to have blue (just to be different, since he had green in the first game I guess) and all the bad lightsaber users had to use red (a change from JK and MotS, in which the game guys used a variety of colors).

Incidentally, Kyle never used a red saber in MotS, I swear it was ALWAYS orange. It would have been nice if they explained (in story terms) why he has a blue saber all of a sudden, but oh well...

This also helps to explain why Kyle's saber suddenly "doesn't work" (ie: turns off) in water, because of an unfilmed scene (that appears in the TPM novelisation). Too bad AOTC pretty much trashed that notion (see the Jango vs. Obi-Wan fight).

razorace · 12-05-2002, 08:18 AM

Why is it such a big deal for the saber to be blue/green/red in a EU based game? Don't the NJO books still use off-canon colors after the anno from the Flanaled One?

Also, there's a bit of a difference from being splash vs. water proof. My guess is that the saber shorts out if the internals are soaked.

BTW, sorry about the lack of updates to the FAQ. I had said that I hoped to do a update before the end of the month but I simply had too much fun during Turkey week to get anything done. Hopefully, I'll get to it soon after I finish Release 1 of MotF.

heres an idea:
What is a model/how is it different from a skin?
I am always hearing newbies ask that one :P

razorace · 12-24-2002, 03:02 PM

Good one.

Arreat · 01-05-2003, 02:31 PM

I need help!
Well 1st of all its my 1st time making servers. I need to know how to kick! Im tired of having to use the voting way of getting rid of peeps. Is there any way to kick without having to vote? Also i dunno anything about this rcon stuff. So plz state the steps to kick other people without having to vote them off. Oh, and if possible can u plz tell me some other commands, if yes it'd be greatly appreciated.

razorace · 01-05-2003, 03:09 PM

I'm not exactly familar with the hosting ether.

The easiest way to kick people (without using remote control stuff.):

1. Bring up the console.

2. Type "/status" to determine the client number of the kickee.

3. Type "/kick clientname" to kick the kickee.

I haven't personally tried this so I might be wrong.

nykel007 · 01-07-2003, 06:46 PM

I now downloaded it, still reading. Too early to make judgements yet.

razorace · 01-07-2003, 07:12 PM

Errr...ok.

DC | Dark Luke · 02-11-2003, 04:36 PM

I have some questions about the forum:

1) Is there a way to change the avatar to one is not on the list? (by submiting one or something...) Edit: Problem Solved

2) Can i use "remote linking" for my signature? ([img]somepic.com[/img*] )
That`s all. Thnx

razorace · 02-11-2003, 05:23 PM

Woah, a forum question.

Yeah, you can use remote linking for your signature but you gotta buy the ability in the forum store.

:stupidlatinoamerican:

(seriously, tell me...)

*Kurgan* · 02-12-2003, 07:11 AM

It's not I'm afraid (at least not for regular members).

Now I gotta figure out what the "hotel" is and why I should "buy" a room. ; )

DC | Dark Luke · 02-15-2003, 10:37 PM

A little question:

Is necessary to have an orignal copy of the game to play in the plubic servers that you guys play??

Thanx.

razorace · 02-15-2003, 11:34 PM

No, it's not.

But the boards don't support warez, so keep your trap shut about it.

I will

One last question:

Which is the final version i need to play in the p.servers?

Can u give me a link of these servers?

Thanx!

razorace · 02-16-2003, 03:48 AM

Just use the ingame browser.

tasslehoff456 · 03-06-2003, 07:49 PM

Where do i get jedimod?

razorace · 03-06-2003, 08:49 PM

www.jediknightii.net or www.jk2files.com

SilentBlade · 04-14-2003, 09:47 PM

Edit Taos - Don't post this again! Yoink!

razorace · 04-14-2003, 09:53 PM

EDIT: Bad post removed. This post doesn't apply anymore.

*Kurgan* · 04-15-2003, 06:38 PM

Check out the "Where to play" section on my page (listed in my signature). Though the ingame browser is fine.

1.04 (The latest patch) lets you only see 1.04 games. 1.02 lets you see 1.03 games (and vice versa) but I don't think you can join 1.03 games with 1.02 (for obvious reasons).

So get the latest patch, that's your best bet. It's on LucasArt's JK2 page btw.

razorace · 05-05-2003, 08:21 AM

Gees, sorry about the total lack of FAQ updates. I've just been spending all my JK2 time working on MotF....

Go to www.gamefaqs.com and look for a walkthru.

|GG|Carl · 06-01-2003, 01:09 PM

Hello!

I have a stupid question:

How do you write your website URL under the server name? I mean when you join a server and the computer is loading the map, you see the server name, and sometimes There is a homepage URL under it.

How to do that on your own server???

razorace · 06-01-2003, 09:25 PM

You gotta change the "message of the day". Sorry but I don't know how to do that yet.

Xizor's killer · 06-27-2003, 05:32 PM

How do I get the console command to come up? I've typed in the JK2Config.cfg file bind ~ "toggleconsole" and when I tried it it didn't work help!

razorace · 06-28-2003, 03:36 AM

It's normally shift+"~".

Xizor's killer · 06-28-2003, 08:53 AM

Yeah I know i tried it and it's not there

razorace · 06-28-2003, 06:37 PM

You probably screwed up your cfg file then. Try reinstalling.

Heh i hate it when i do that..I backed up my cfg file though

Xizor's killer · 06-29-2003, 08:32 AM

Your kidding right I'm not doing all of that again

razorace · 06-30-2003, 03:55 AM

Well, check and see if your keyboard can register both a "shift" and a "~" at the same time.

*Kurgan* · 08-19-2003, 01:18 AM

The thing about the lightsaber colors in SP probably has something to do with the fact that it's Raven making the game, and not LucasArts itself. The Star Wars liscense of what is allowable in SW games may have also changed since the prequels came out, so they decided the "movie colors only" rule applied to Single Player.

Kinda stupid, but I guess that's how it is.

Great FAQ, as usual. ; )

Time to plug my strategy site... (see sig link)

*Kurgan* · 08-29-2003, 05:13 AM

PS: Outcast Strategy now has a full pictorial SP walkthrough for Jedi Outcast, including secrets, thanks to sith!

Enjoy. ; )

razorace · 08-29-2003, 05:55 AM

Ok, that's enough link whoring.

Anyway, to continue the topic of the SP saber colors. I imagine they didn't use anything different because all the characters seen in the game don't use "off" saber colors anyway.

According to what I've heard from interviews, licensed EU products are not required to follow the red/green/blue only rule.

trailboss4130 · 09-18-2003, 03:47 PM

how do you do the yavin final conflict level i cant figure it out
