You can't join your own game while running a Dedicated server?

Okay here's the deal:
You need to have your dedicated server on a different port, than your Jedi Knight 3 client so in the command line of your shortcut it would look like the following :

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\jampDed.exe" +set net_port 29071 +exec server.cfg

See the +set net_port I changed it to 29071 cuz JK3 is using 29070 by default, this is why you can't see any servers while yours is up.

This will use the info in the server.cfg file (that you must create in the base folder) to run the server. Online players should be able to see it. Sometimes it takes a while before someone connects, and seldom do people join an empty server. You might want to add some bots.

Below, I have included a sample of what should be in your server.cfg. You can copy and paste it, and change whatever settings you like. I have included a custom map rotation.

//start of server.cfg
//my server config
seta g_dismember "100"
seta g_allowVote "1"
seta g_filterBan "1"
seta g_banIPs ""
seta g_log "myserverlog.log"
seta g_forcePowerDisable "0"
seta g_spawnInvulnerability "3000"
seta g_forceRegenTime "200"
seta g_saberDamageScale "1"
seta g_slowmoDuelEnd "0"
seta g_logClientInfo "0"
seta g_autoMapCycle "0"
seta g_weaponDisable "524279"
//set the above to 0 to play with weapons
seta capturelimit "8"
seta g_warmup "20"
seta sv_master5 ""
seta sv_master4 ""
seta sv_master3 ""
seta sv_master2 ""
seta sv_floodProtect "1"
seta sv_maxPing "0"
seta sv_minPing "0"
seta sv_maxRate "3200"
seta sv_maxclients "7"
seta sv_privateclients "0"
seta sv_privatepassword ""
//use privateclients and privatepassword to save a slot for you with the password

seta sv_hostname "my server name"
seta g_motd "Put your custom motd here"
//change the above to your liking
seta g_maxForceRank "7"
seta g_saberLocking "1"
seta g_privateDuel "1"
seta timelimit "20"
seta fraglimit "20"
seta rconpassword "putrconpasswordhere"

//bots
seta bot_enable 1
seta bot_minplayers 0
//change the above to however many bots you want
//they will be kicked off as each person joins

set m1 "map mp/duel1 ; set nextmap vstr m2"
set m2 "map mp/duel2 ; set nextmap vstr m3"
set m3 "map mp/duel3 ; set nextmap vstr m4"
set m4 "map mp/duel4 ; set nextmap vstr m5"
set m5 "map mp/duel5 ; set nextmap vstr m6"
set m6 "map mp/duel7 ; set nextmap vstr m7"
set m7 "map mp/duel8 ; set nextmap vstr m8"
set m8 "map mp/duel10 ; set nextmap vstr m9"
set m9 "map mp/ffa2 ; set nextmap vstr m10"
set m10 "map mp/ffa3 ; set nextmap vstr m11"
set m11 "map mp/ffa4 ; set nextmap vstr m12"
set m12 "map mp/ffa5 ; set nextmap vstr m1"

hmm

quote [3mendi]Luke:
"If you start the dedicated server normally it's set to be an Internet server...if you starts it with:
+set dedicated 1
it's set to local :P"

(look at his post further down.. never had the problem, so I can't tell if it works or not..)

about the router firewall, I think you have to log on to the router and open a port for the server (the same port you set the server to be on [if you use the above instructions, it's 29071])

hope it helps :) if not, ask someone else :P

When i start up a server, it launches it on the Local level (LAN)

How do i launch it over the internet, and also, if i have a hardware firewall built into my router, will i need to disable it?

GremReaper: add a "map <mapname> somewhere in your server.cfg (if you use the lines above)
ex: map mp/ffa1

It is, because if you leave, the game still runs.

I tried to connect in my own server, but some reason server got MAJOR lag (connectionproblem to all ppl in server)when I was connected. When I disconnected, all went back to normal. Dunno the reason, but I'm trying to figure it out. If you have any ideas, tell me :)
