Jedi Knight 2 Issues

[MrWallen]

I recently downloaded Jedi Knight 2, got all the files extracted, no problem. But when I go to start the game I get a 'error, couldn't load default.cfg'
And when I try to start the multiplayer I get 'error, couldn't load mpdefault.cfg'

Any thoughts as to what might cause this?

Could I need to re-extract the files or something?

Edit: I think some of the files may be corrupted, but the files didn't come with an .sfv file, so I can't use QuickSFV to check their integrity (or whatever). So, short of re-downloading it (from a new place, if indeed the files are corrupted) are there any suggestions?

Those two files are just the configs that tell JKII what your basic settings are.  That is, what resolution you play the game at, any modifications made to the controll setup et-al.  NORMALLY you can delete this with no problem and when you restart the game it just creates two blank ones (with the default settings).  The only thing I can suggest is to select the root folder *Program files>JKII or whatever* right click>properties, select Read only (make it checked) then UN check it, click apply, then OK (if your in 2k or XP it SHOULD do this recursively, if your in ME, 98, or 98SE you'll ahve to do this for each folder, but make sure you get the two config files.  If what I think is going on, is going on, then you're config files can't be written to by the game, and so it wont run.

Normally I'd just send you my config files as a test, but I recently lost my old HDD, and my ISO of JKII, so I dont have it anymore.  Hope I helped some..

Thanx, I tried what you suggested, still didn't work, and I am pretty sure that it's those two config files (assets0.pk3 and assets1.pk3) that are corrupted, but now that I look at it, I think it's only the second one.

The first file (assets0.pk3) is around 47 mbs, while the other is only 22 BYTES, which makes me think that when I was extracting the ACE files I didn't get all the files for that one (And I DO get an error now when trying to extract, telling me that one of the files is corrupted).

Maybe someone could send me a copy of the assets1.pk3 file or post it on a pub or something (I dunno, still kinda new to the whole ftp thing).

Also, the file that is corrupted (I think) is called jedi2.c24 (I still have the ACE archive files) so if someone sends me THAT file (which should be smaller than the whole assets1.pk3 file) I think it should work fine.

Thanx for your help-

P.S. If it is required that I share some of my games with people in order to get these files, then I'd be happy to upload them in exchange.
I don't have much, but here's what I do have:

Diablo 2 (and 1 and expansion for 2
Morrowind
Max Payne
Age of Empires 2

I know it's not much, but I'm only running a 15 gig Hard Drive. If anyone's interested in helping me, let me know.

I recently downloaded this game as well.
At first it didn't work, but after searching through
the game files I found 2 crack programs that must
be applied before the game would work. I used the cracks and the game works fine now. I was just wondering if you did this. I have a FTP site on this
board but it's very busy. I think the crack files are
small enough that I could e-mail them to you. I will
look into this tonight and PM you. If the cracks don't
work I will upload the files you asked for to one of the
pubs.
