What's new?
- Bugfix: Revert the other physics change, which apparently also causes oscillations.
- Added support for Linux Flatpaks. Flathub approval is (hopefully) coming soon, but in the meantime I'll try and include flatpak builds in the releases. The attachments may be slightly delayed due to the increased compile time for x86_64.
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
- SDL2 controller/joystick support, with up to 32 buttons bindable.
- Emissive Textures, Bloom, Screenspace Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
- Music is loaded from audio tracks at
MUSIC/Track<12..32>.oggin Ogg Vorbis format (same as the GOG/Steam releases), if they are present. Music can also be loaded fromMUSIC/1/Track<1..11>.oggandMUSIC/2/Track<1..11>.oggfor installs made from original disks. The music looping bug is also fixed. - Menus, cutscenes and the game viewport auto-rescale to the window size, with appropriate aspect ratios (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:
- Using plus or minus to resize the screen (with SDL2, resolution auto-resizes to window size)
- In-game screenshots
