shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2 v0.5.3

v0.5.3 64-bit Debug

on GitHub

What's new?

• Bugfix: Fixed crash on Win64 when typing in the address box.
• Bugfix: Fixed mouse/keyboard input getting passed to game while in the multiplayer ESC menu.
• Bugfix: Updated to SDL 2.24.0, SDL2_mixer 2.6.2. This fixes a bug in HiDPI mode where the mouse would run off the right side of the window instead of being captured.
• Bugfix: Clients now see server disconnects and exit accordingly.
• Improvement: Framelimit menus to 60FPS to save power.
• Improvement: Server enumeration is now done in a separate thread, so the UI will no longer hang randomly.

From 0.5.2

• Added support for changing the MP server port; Ports can be changed and then appended to the end of the hostname textbox like so:

Also note that the textbox supports DNS resolution, so yourcoolservername.biz:12345 will also work.

• Bugfix: Fix IP/hostname textbox to accept more than 16 chars.

From 0.5.0/0.5.1

• Bugfix: Fixed a longstanding type confusion bug with Player/Actor things. Saves made before this point may exhibit some buggy behavior when loaded.
• Bugfix: Fixed a crash on exiting multiplayer, caused by a type confusion between sithSoundClass and sithPlayingSound.
• Bugfix: Fixed chat messages not working in multiplayer.
• An initial Multiplayer implementation is now working on macOS/Win64/Linux
  • Things are 100% expected to be a bit buggy, but for the most part it's functional.
  • Based on Valve's GameNetworkingSockets, so IPv6 is supported and all messages are encrypted.
  • LAN discovery is currently unsupported, however an IP address textbox is now present in the Join Game menu.
  • Currently all communication happens on port 27020, and servers broadcast to all IPv4/IPV6 interfaces.
  • Any and all protocol compatibility is subject to change between versions, for now. I'm still working out a lot of the details. Make sure all users are using the same OpenJKDF2 version tag and you won't have any issues.

About these builds

Currently, I am only providing 64-bit builds for Windows and MacOS to find regressions and undefined behavior; Linux users have to compile for now (See BUILDING.md for instructions). It is recommended to backup any savedata you place significant value on before running.

Running

Windows: Extract the distribution zip so that openjkdf2-64.exe is in the same directory as JK.EXE and then run openjkdf2-64.exe.
MacOS: Copy OpenJKDF2.app into your Applications folder and run it.
Linux: Copy openjkdf2-64 into the same directory as JK.EXE and run.

If game assets are missing, an install prompt will show on startup and ask for either:

• An existing GOG/Steam/original installation
• An original Disk 1, followed by Disk 2

To transfer saves, copy your old player folder to %appdata%/Local/openjkdf2/ on Windows, or ~/.local/share/openjkdf2/ on macOS/Linux following installation.

If you are not using custom shaders, delete resource/shaders/ to revert to the default graphical settings.

My game crashed, what do I do?

I'm looking for regressions and crashes! File an issue or email me at mtinc2@gmail.com with a crash stacktrace. If it's reproducible, a savefile or instructions to reproduce would also be appreciated.

Linux: Copy the crash log from crash.log or the console output.
MacOS: Cmd+Space, type Console.app and copy the entire crash report from openjkdf2-64. Alternatively, copy the crash log from crash.log
Windows: Copy the crash log from openjkdf2-64.RPT.

Crash logs will be located in directory assets are located. If you cannot find them, be sure to check %appdata%/Local/openjkdf2/ on Windows, or ~/.local/share/openjkdf2 on macOS/Linux.

QoL feature notes:

• Built-in jkgfxmod texture pack support
• IPv6 Multiplayer support, based on Valve's GameNetworkingSockets
• Emissive textures and bloom rendering pipeline.
• Screenspace Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
• Music is loaded from audio tracks at MUSIC/Track<12..32>.ogg in Ogg Vorbis format (same as the GOG/Steam releases), if they are present. Music can also be loaded from MUSIC/1/Track<1..11>.ogg and MUSIC/2/Track<1..11>.ogg for installs made from original disks. The music looping bug is also fixed.
• Menus and the game viewport auto-rescale to the window size, with appropriate aspect ratio vertex projection (ultrawide, or at least wide-er monitor support).
• Game runs at full framerates by default instead of 30FPS/50FPS in Singleplayer (validated up to 144FPS)
  • FPS can be capped to any value in Setup > Display
  • VSync can be enabled or disabled in Setup > Display
• Weapon waggle is scaled properly with FPS
• FOV is adjustable in Setup > General
• HiDPI is configurable in Setup > General
• HUD elements are scaled with screen resolution
• LOD and mipmap distances are scaled with render resolution to ensure textures and models don't degrade noticeably on higher-resolution screens.

What isn't working:

• Joystick menu in Setup > Controls (input bindings are still loaded and written to config, though)
• Load Configuration and Save Configuration in Setup > Controls > Options
• Using plus or minus to resize the screen (with SDL2, resolution auto-resizes to window size)
• In-game screenshots
