HOW TO PLAY FORCEMOD III :
a) Use the shortcuts installed in the Windows Programs menu (if installed with Win32 installer)
OR
b) Select "ForceMod III" in the Setup->Mods screen on the main menu.
OR
c) Use the command line argument +set fs_game ForceMod_III
ex. "C:\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Academy\GameData\jkamp.exe" +set fs_game ForceMod_III
OR
d) Run the "Play_ForceMod_III.bat" file in your ForceMod_III directory
Some options toggleable from Force FX and Other FX menu under "Setup" in main screen
You can search for other ForceMod III servers from the server selection menu if it the game is loaded properly from the ForceMod_III folder and the filter is selected.
HOW TO RUN FORCEMOD III DEDICATED SERVERS:
First off, everything you need is all in the ForceMod_III folder, so you won't have to worry about other files in your Gamedata or Base folders.
LINUX:
Run the shell script "Run_Linux_FMIII_DedServ.sh" - it will auto-restart the server if a crash occurs and keep a log file "ForceMod_III_dedRestart.txt" with the time and date it was restarted. Stop the script before shutting off the game.
WINDOWS:
Run the batch file "Run_Win32_FMIII_DedServ.bat" - it will auto-restart the server if a crash occurs and keep a log file "ForceMod_III_dedRestart.txt" with the time and date it was restarted. Stop the script before shutting off the game.
The file "fm3server.cfg" can be used separately from existing config files, and does not need to be moved out of the ForceMod_III folder if you use the default batch files to run ForceMod III.
Comments :
I wrote this mod because there's something iffy about seeing Stormtroopers wielding lightsabers, and it just plain feels cooler to play as a jedi when you've got a good mix of the Star Wars universe in the game.

HOW TO PLAY FORCEMOD III :
a) Use the shortcuts installed in the Windows Programs menu (if installed with Win32 installer)
OR
b) Select "ForceMod III" in the Setup->Mods screen on the main menu.
OR
c) Use the command line argument +set fs_game ForceMod_III
ex. "C:\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Academy\GameData\jkamp.exe" +set fs_game ForceMod_III
OR
d) Run the "Play_ForceMod_III.bat" file in your ForceMod_III directory
Some options toggleable from Force FX and Other FX menu under "Setup" in main screen
You can search for other ForceMod III servers from the server selection menu if it the game is loaded properly from the ForceMod_III folder and the filter is selected.
HOW TO RUN FORCEMOD III DEDICATED SERVERS:
First off, everything you need is all in the ForceMod_III folder, so you won't have to worry about other files in your Gamedata or Base folders.
LINUX:
Run the shell script "Run_Linux_FMIII_DedServ.sh" - it will auto-restart the server if a crash occurs and keep a log file "ForceMod_III_dedRestart.txt" with the time and date it was restarted. Stop the script before shutting off the game.
WINDOWS:
Run the batch file "Run_Win32_FMIII_DedServ.bat" - it will auto-restart the server if a crash occurs and keep a log file "ForceMod_III_dedRestart.txt" with the time and date it was restarted. Stop the script before shutting off the game.
The file "fm3server.cfg" can be used separately from existing config files, and does not need to be moved out of the ForceMod_III folder if you use the default batch files to run ForceMod III.
Comments :
I wrote this mod because there's something iffy about seeing Stormtroopers wielding lightsabers, and it just plain feels cooler to play as a jedi when you've got a good mix of the Star Wars universe in the game.
