Default fs_game to "openjk"?

[Razish]

Someone mentioned it in #JACoders, apparently the (c)make install option copies files there anyway. I like the idea. An #ifdef STANDALONE version could look there for default assets instead of base

[ensiform]

:unsure etlegacy does some sort of voodoo to change the default game and i think still load the base assets from etmain.

Will be experimenting with a few things soon:

• Demo assets (either redistribute, or ask user to point to a directory containing them like nquake or CPMA)
• Find out exactly which files are referenced in a simple MP match (with fs_copyfiles) so we can easily create free content and provide a basic standalone MP client.
• standalone mode which will only look in fs_game openjk
• sv_pure removal, rewrite, or disabling for #ifdef STANDALONE

Can we reach an agreement on default fs_game + behaviour? pokes @dionrhys @xycaleth @mrwonko

Raven did fs_copyfiles prior to the game getting released, so I don't think that's needed.

I'm looking to drastically strip down the assets to something manageable (e.g. 1 duel map, 1 CTF map, 1 FFA map, 1 saber hilt, 3 player models), so I'd be running fs_copyfiles and only using a very limited set of assets.

How do you plan on redistributing this asset pack?

With brute force and pride.

Seems the buildbot already places the gamecode binaries into fs_game OpenJK.

[xycaleth]

Bringing this back to life. If we change do default fs_game to openjk, what happens if someone wants to switch to base? There's no way of doing this through the mod menu, as the base folder doesn't count as a mod. There is the option of coming right out of the game, and then relaunching the game with +set fs_game base, but that's tedious.

[ensiform]

Mod menu output can be changed somewhat or add base option to newer menus from openjk. Not sure why raven left it out. Team Arena has go to q3 and q3 has go to TA.

[xycaleth]

Hm, strange :P Well if the menu output can be changed that would be good. It's preferable to including a new menu with OJK I think, as it would be compatible with a wider range of mods as some mods might try to restyle the menu, overwriting any menu changes we make.

[ensiform]

It may still require some changes to UI dlls though.

[Razish]

If/when a free asset replacement exists, #ifdef STANDALONE can change BASEGAME and default fs_game to "openjk". Until then, it'll be left as "base". buildbot can be updated to distribute base/openjk.pk3

Close?

[Yberion]

Better let fs_game to base, and the buildbot should distribute to base/openjk.pk3.
