Hi

firstofall i want to apologize for my poor english, i hope u can understand it... xD

i have read Trimbo's thread at http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?p=1408504#post1408504)

its great i compiled the SDK with the patch from http://divoid.net/) just by executing a few commands...

as u know the game is affected by a buffer-overflow, that makes a server crash when anyone executes a malicious code. (there's more info here: http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/jamsgbof-adv.txt)

this bug can be fixed by appling a patch on jampgamex86.dll... (theres more info here: http://aluigi.altervista.org/patches/jamsgfix.txt) And thats works perfectly in the Windows JKA Dedicated Serv (1.0)... I tried and the bug got fixed... xD

my problem is that always use the Linux JKA DED, and the jampgamei386.so created using ur JKA "Universal" Source Code is "pure", without bugfixes... and obviously i cannot apply this patch on it...

could u help me adding this bugfix to the jampgamei386.so???

Thnx very much...

Sotki

Well it is very easy to STOP that.
In G_Say make sure you move the Q_strncpyz( text, chatText, sizeof(text) ); line up towards the top.
And you could add somthing like this:

if (strlen(chatText) > MAX_SAY_TEXT) {
return;
}

This only stops the client to say everything that bigger than MAX_SAY_TEXT, but If you need something more usefull, for example to print the text only to the limit or something like that just change this. I can't help you more yet because I dont have my code here. Hope this helps ;)

mmmm... thnx, i will recompile it with this modification...

well, now ive got i new error... xD

the server launches correctly

"Loading dll file jampgame.
Sys_LoadDll(/usr/local/games/ja/base/jampgamei386.so)...
Sys_LoadDll(jampgame) found **vmMain** at 0x4205df40
Sys_LoadDll(jampgame) succeeded!

"
but when clients try to connect they recieve this error message: "client/server game mismatch: basejk-1/basejka-1", and they cannot connect... xD

when i launch the server using the original jampgamei386.so i get this other game Initialition message

Theres a differnce in the gamename... could this be the reason for that client crashing? What should i modify to make it work with jka 1.0 standard clients?

Thnx

you should not be using 1.0 get the 1.01 patch, nobody uses 1.0 anymore as the MP didnt really work.

xD... the thing is that i cannot use 1.01 patch... windows2000 crashes with it (in my PC) and WXp crashes everytime i connect to a server (MAXSTRINGCONFIGS, and many other errors... xD)

do u know if i can get a jampgamei386.so for 1.0 with the compilation of JKA "Universal" Source Code???

sry about this... xD... what is MP? Multiplayer? xD

quit using a hacked jedi academy then... the code is only for 1.01 not 1.00 so you cant even use it anyway. even if it works, thats bad. i think a better explaination of "crashes" would be better or other than max config strings. i think u need to uninstall, delete your jka folder completely and try again. and upgrade ur computer :nervou

you need to use some linux distro to compile the .so, which i cant help you with.

and yes MP stands for multiplayer.

xD... thnx ill try that... xD !!!
