Dont laugh

But my patch commander wont work and i wanna test my latest mod, but i dont know how to play mods without patch commander, Nor do i know how to gob without it(maybe a gob prog?)

I tried putting the gob files into the LucasArts/JediKnight/JKPatch/Active - But it wont work, Any help would be nice!

Using all these "Patches" that are found in the World of JK & MotS:

*It should be noted that one of the best ways to find out how to use the patch you have downloaded is to simply read the "readme.txt" included with the file or email the author directly. The instructions below are for general patch usage and should work with most .GOB format files. (The majority of files for JK ARE in .GOB format).

*First and FOREMOST.. Download the JK Patch Commander v3.5: A program that was designed to run all patches / files for Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith that have been released (Support for running patches on the Zone as well). If that fails you.. try the following...

Review For The Newbies On How To Use These Files / Patches:
Lets quickly review the best way to use edited files / addons.

1) First off, I personally like to "edit" the default install directory... JK trys to setup in a directory such as C:\ProgramFiles\LucasArts\JediKnight ... I changed that to simply C:\JK (you have the option of choosing your own directory during installation)... you'll see why later.

2) When you get a file (Which really should ALWAYS be in .GOB format) take that file (say it's LostBase from above) and head to your C:\JK directory... then make a folder in jk called "levels"... then extract the lostbase.zip file into that "levels" directory.

3) Now you want to head to your MS-DOS prompt (still within Win95) ... by heading to START and programs and MS-DOS PROMPT... then type CD\JK ... if "jk" is your jediknight directory (That's why it's nice to have a short JK directory name... you can head to it quickly). While at the DOS prompt C:\JK> ... type jk.exe -path levels ... it would look exactly like this C:\JK>jk.exe -path levels

4) That will make JK search for .GOB files in that "levels" directory... you will be able to run the .GOB file (Such as a new level) when you hit "host" and TCP/IP .. you will see the level name as an option... just try one of the "Coruscant" levels above... it works well.

5) You can run multiple .GOBs in that directory as well... such as a level and a skin for example... they just cannot conflict...

6) You can also create .BAT files (Through Win95) to start off the .GOBs by just customizing the command path.

Hope this helped the newbies regarding patch play...

*NOTE: Using patches for Mysteries of the Sith is identical, except that files are not in .GOB format... but rather .GOO format.

--------------------
That's from a tutorial. A better way than using run is to create a shortcut of jk.exe and rename it to the name of your patch. Then right-click the shortcut and click properties. Then add "-path <name of folder>" to the end of the target line. Remember that the name of the folder in the target line must be the name of the folder containing your patch (in the JK dir).

Hope that helps

One more thing: don't put the "-path foldername" in the target line with quotes. It should read something like:

"C:\Files\Games\Jedi Knight\JK.EXE" -path x

Where x would be the name of the folder.
