Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II 10 Year Anniversary! Brought To You By: The JK:DF2 HQ! irc.gamesurge.net #jk

October 9th, 1997 was the day Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II was set free to the public, and was also a day which started a revolutionary online experience in the world of computer gaming. It was the pinnacle of all games in its time unmatched by any of it's successors in the years to follow. Though being considered a relic, JK:DF2 still lives on with a small community of people whom have the higest respect for this everlasting masterpiece. From everyday games like Merc Oasis 2, and Battleground Jedi, to new and exciting games like Dralloc CTF, and Fusion, JK:DF2's span of variety is practically limitless. Thanks to websites like JKHub.net, the life of JK will only stretch longer with new developments from several ingenius programmers and designers! This is the tenth year of its life, and even though the number of players is small, this game will live on for many more years to come, and shall never be forgotten. Oh, and Maz is a super slut!

IMPORTANT!

Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II Requires you to open ports
for Multiplayer Games if you are using a router!

Don't worry, it's not the end of the world. It is easy to do!

Step 1:
Access your router through Internet Explorer or Firefox.

To do this, Click START > RUN, then type CMD in the box, then hit ENTER.
A DOS window will appear. In there, type IPCONFIG, then hit ENTER.
Some information will appear.
Now, write down the numbers that correspond with DEFAULT GATEWAY.
The numbers should be similar to this 192.168.0.1
Now, close the DOS window, and open Internet Explorer or Firefox.
In the address bar, type http:// followed by the Default Gateway IP you just wrote down.
It should look like this http://192.168.0.1
Hit ENTER, and it should bring up your router's login screen.

This is where you will need the access information for your router.
After purchasing your router, you should have set it with a username and password.
If you didn't set any of that, there are two options you can try...

Option 1:
If you are using a D-Link Router, try this.
Username: admin
Password: (Leave Blank)

Option 2:
If you are using a LinkSys Router, try this.
Username: admin
Password: admin

Hopefully you will have gained access to your router. If not... I'm sorry, but you are screwed.

Step 2:
Now you will need to set the ports required for JK Online Multiplayer.

To do this, you will need to locate the PORT FORWARDING section of your router.
When you get there, you will notice some boxes where you can fill in the blanks.

The typical rule of thumb is...
• Tell the router what program we will be using.
• What ports that program needs to have opened.

Here is an example of what you might see.

Now, notice how I put JK.EXE in 2 NAME sections.
This tells the router that when JK starts, it will open the ports I've chosen.

In the first section, I set ports 2300 to 2400 on ANY traffic type.
This means that JK.EXE will use ports 2300-2400 on both UDP and TCP protocols.

On the second section, I set ports 47624 to 47625 also on ANY traffic type.
This is basically the outgoing stream of data that will be transmitted from your computer.
It allows JK to send data through these ports using both UDP and TCP protocols.

After you've entered this information, SAVE IT, then exit the router. That's it!

Tips and Tricks

JK is old. With that said, it is likely you will run into problems
with the way the game interacts with you.
Here are a few things you should know about the game.

• Many levels today require the use of 3D acceleration to display the 16bit textures.
Enabling 3D acceleration in the DISPLAY section of the SETTINGS section is mandatory.

• Some of the latest levels (Dralloc CTF, DS3, Merc Oasis 2) have a built in feature that
allows you to use a secondary aiming crosshair. Just push TAB in game, and then push
the - (minus) button to shrink the dot to your desired size.

• When using a mouse to aim, the X and Y axis in the CONTROL settings will throw you off.
X is the direction to look left and right
Y is the direction to look up and down
If you like to invert your mouse for your up and down directions,
make sure you have the Y axis selected before inverting it.

• Be sure to enable ALWAYS RUN in the OPTIONS section in CONTROL settings.
If you don't, you will hate yourself.

• Bacta is very important in any MP game. They are basically personal health packs.
You should set a button that is close to your movement buttons so you can
heal yourself after inflicting damage very quickly. F2 is the default.

• People tend to have the ability to run faster by running straight and sideways at the same time.
Strafing is a very helpful skill to have when playing JK. Learn how to master running at an angle
to get maximum speed!

Most Played Levels

JK has such a large number of third party addons, there are WAY too many to choose from.
I suggest going through JKHub and Massassi to find anything that may capture your interest.
As of today, very few are commonly played aside from the default levels that came with the game.
