bad parameter in external weapon data 'firingforce'

What is it? What does it mean?
And how fix it?

[Frozen Death]

Well it is a Jedi Academy mod, so I'd suggest you try it in that first.

[Fracman]

And the older JO DFMOD requires JO 1.04.
Please also make sur ethat you have installed DFMOD in a separate directory,
e.g. gamedata\dfmod
and that you don't have other mods at the same time.

I don't think so! Because I have downloaded and installed DF mod version FOR JK2 NOT for JA!!!

[VadimJEDI]

And the older JO DFMOD requires JO 1.04.
Please also make sur ethat you have installed DFMOD in a separate directory,
e.g. gamedata\dfmod
and that you don't have other mods at the same time.
By the way, there is my second problem - when i install DF mod in a separate directory - it does not works! JK game starts like oryginal game without a mod!
But when I copy all mod's files to "gamedata" - the mod start works!

[VadimJEDI]

bad parameter in external weapon data 'firingforce' - can this message caused by bad data? or wrong file? e.d. data.pak

[Fracman]

hmm there is no data.pak in JO...

Please make absolutely sure you don't have any other mods.
Only assets*.pk3 are allowed in base directory usually!

And, to make DFMOD work in a separate directory, e.g. "dark",
you must call JO with argument:
jk2sp.exe +set fs_game dark

[Darth_Linux]

you definatley need to patch your Jedi Outcast to 1.04 - that will fix the "bad parameter" error. Install the mod pk3 files in their own directory as well and you should have no more problems.

[firemarine73]

I have the same problem. I'll try updating the game and stuff.
