Jedi Academy: Reloaded (1.1 Linux)

major admin based mod for you all This mod is the [un]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 Academy® 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!!! The v1.0 most noted commands are below: Server Admins can now pick and choose what commands they wish to allow their "am" and "jk" level admins to use. g_mAdminCommands - cVar bit value to determine which "am" commands are allowed for their admins. g_mKnightCommands - cVar bit value to determine which "jk" commands are allowed for their knights. rcon admin can always execute the commands even if they are disabled to other admins. aminfo - now prints commands that are accessable to admin, instead of just commands in the mod. amhelp - now prints commands help to the admins pending if they are accessable to them. New IP Range Banning Admin Command ( mbanrange) g_mDebugEmpower - Will enforce the "No Force" rule and will not allow empowered clients to have force. Spectator Followers can now be kicked, banned, etc. without affecting others. mvstr - command that allows you to choose which map you want in the rotation, without disrupting the order. mnextmap - executes next map available in rotation. Most default settings that were in reloaded.cfg are now hardcoded into mod for faster and easier configuration. mnpcaccess does not give client access to cheats. You can now use clients names for assigning mnpcaccess/mnpcnoaccess. g_mAdminGun - Enables/Disables AdminGun system. (includes script) g_mAllowTeleFlag - default is enabled, if set to 0, clients cannot teleport during CTF and CTY gameplay. New BanIP.dat file stores banned ip's. Full use of 2048 saved ips activated! Tweaked the whois command a little again to make it more stable. g_mGiveAdmin - if set to 1, you can grant an admin access level to anyone on the server. madminaccess, mdenyadminaccess - commands for granting/denying admin access to clients. Enable/Disable use of black color names. New logout function - to logout as an admin or knight. Ignore - ignore certain clients from chatting so you dont have to listen to them. Sleeping clients can no longer use the kill command. [/quote] With that said, here is the latest version of Jedi Academy: Reloaded. According to ChosenOne, there were quite a few code tweaks, but I'm not gonna get into that. :) One of the cvars that I love is the g_mSTFU ... hehe. When enabled, it'll silence chat on Duel and PowerDuel gamemodes. Chosen also mentioned that one of his favorite things in this mod is the Empowered vs. Terminator gameplay. :) I can't say I've tested it yet, but I look forward to it! He's also included some cvars that allow you (the server owner) to set permissions for Admins and Knights. So let's say you have a group of admins and you don't want them banning people - just sleeping and kicking. Just set the appropriate values and voila! Speaking of banning, the new banIP.dat ... y'know the one that in JK2 would hold over 1,000 IP's ... yeah ... it now holds 2,048!!! Very cool. Of course, I don't think I could ban that many people. My JK2 banned IP list never got full with JA mod. So, now with the aminfo and amhelp commands, they're like, customized to the permissions that you have as an admin. Very cool. The admin gun, popular among some admins, is now enabled. Personally, I just didn't like using it. Not a good enough range for me. And frankly, I'd end up sleeping or kicking the wrong person. :D Oh, and it looks like Chosen fixed a few bugs from version 1.0. Be sure to read the readme for the full list of changes and features. You're going to need to read the whole thing if you've never used the JA mod before. :) I'd like to personally thank Chosen for making such a wonderful mod that helps to keep servers under control. My favorite feature, by far, has to be the sleep command. With it, I can easily get a lamer's attention and explain the rules to him - instead of having to kick him because he continues to lame, but isn't reading the rules. Y'know? Jedi Academy mod for JK2 was definitely the best admin mod out there. I am fairly confident that Jedi Academy: Reloaded will become a favorite for us in JA. :D ~AmosMagee
