The purpose of this project is to maintain and improve the Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast games, developed by Raven Software. This project does not attempt to rebalance or otherwise modify core gameplay.
Major enhancement changes are very low priority at this time unless patches are made available and which do not alter the core functionality of gameplay or the stock renderer itself.
Please use discretion when making issue requests on GitHub. The JKHub sub-forum is a better place for support queries, discussions, and feature requests.
Do not make issues regarding Jedi Outcast problems at this time. It is considered mostly unfinished, broken, and to be used at your own risk!
There is no Multiplayer code for JK2MP at all on our repository at this time. The Single-player support must be explicitly turned on in your own compile. The pre-built versions will not include this.
64-bit is currently supported on non-Windows platforms.
First, install Jedi Academy. If you don't already own the game you can buy it from online stores such as Steam, Amazon or Play. Then unpack the OpenJK zip file to your Jedi Academy GameData folder.

In order to run a dedicated server, you must use the openjkded binary. Running dedicated from the main executable is currently not possible because it was broken with the addition of modular renderer.

Mods which make use of runtime memory patches may fail to run under OpenJK, and in the worst case will cause the program to crash. Consider forking OpenJK and adding your engine modifications directly, or applying these patches only if you are running on the retail engine.
