JA Problem

[Chell]

When I try to start JA it brings up the splash screen and then kicks me back to the desktop. I can't figure out why I think it either has something to do with the JA+ mod or one of the files that I have downloaded because when I get rid of those things and run just vanilla JA it works fine. Here are pictures of my base folder, JAplus folder and gamedata folder to see if anyone can spot my mistake.

JAPlus Folder

I have seen the images you gave and I have a lot more files then you do in my folders, did you use the ja plus manual install or auto install with the win installer. ?

I can send you the ja plus auto installer over msn if you want to try that. email is dragonmad93@hotmail.com

[Chell]

I've tried both

[MADwarlord]

ah thats a bit of a problem then ask vaurek he knows a lot about ja problems.

You are missing a lot of files.

at least missing 6 japlus files that should be in your gamedata folder. You are missing some files and 2 or 3 folders in your japlus folder.

thats the ja+ installer I use, never had a porblem with it.

What is your operating system? I knw vista has had problems with JA, but it never skips installing key files.

I have XP

After installing japlus and got this error report but I have no idea what it means

I have a suggestion u might not like it but 9/10 it works.

uninstall ja... delete any remaining files even the shortcuts on ur desktop.

restart your computerr.
reinstall ja to its defult location
install 1.01 patch
install ja+
install ur maps etc
les
dont do it any other way either or ur files get currpted.

EDIT: wrote this the same time raven posted hers.

You seemed to have missed the final line in the error message, the final line is what counts, the rest of that seems normal.

As all the emssage scrolling is basic operation, and it stops where the error occurs.

Anywho, reinstall the game following these processes:

Install disk 1 & 2 normal installation.

Patch game with the 1.01 patch: http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Jedi_Knight_Academy_Patch_101;20459

Install Japlus using the autmatic installer: http://www.lucasfiles.com/index.php?s=&action=file&id=1074

Then try running the game in multiplayer mod, single player normally doesn;t work after installing a lot of custom files. Find say, a base game that doesn't use custom maps and try to enter that server.

I suggest using XFire to connect directly to servers as it lessens lag being a direct connection and is a direct link to all multiplayer servers on the web.

[Chell]

ok now I feel stupid, I forgot to update the game I'll let you know if I still have problems after I update it but I probable won't.

[Gweth]

When installing maps:

some maps come with several pk3's, in this case ONLY install the map pk3's....pk3's such as droideka.pk3, or sbikes.pk3 etc that are usually only under or up to 2mb in size, DO NOT install. They are vehicles

Since you didn't patch your original installation, you will need to uninstall evertything and reinstall it all before applying the patch otherwise it won;t work, as the ja+ installation requires support from the 1.01 patch to isntall correctly.
