Launcher Cannot launch MBII, only base game.

[Bazinga]

My launcher will not run anything except the base game. Neither JAMP or MBII Client work.

I have performed a clean install of Jedi Academy, followed by a clean install of MBII.
Running Steam version, installed in the default directory.

 

[Puppytine]

Really? Really?! That's the only information you give us?
What exactly happens when you're trying to run game? Any error messages? Any logs?
MBII Launcher => Settings => check "Enable logging" => Repair installation, post latest log from "Jedi Academy\GameData\MBII_Launcher\logs" here.

 

[Bazinga]

There were no messages and I didn't actually enable logging. I went ahead and installed the beta and everything seems fine... for now.

 

[DESCUBRA!!]

I got no messages too. But I still can't open it, even after I installed the beta assets.

Where is a repair log? You should post it.

Create a shortcut for jamp.exe, right click on that shortcut => Properties => add

+set fs_game mbii

to "Target" field, launch the shortcut. What happens then?
Repeat for mbii.x86.exe
Use this to start a beta:

+set fs_game mbiibeta

 

[DESCUBRA!!]

I can't post it as .log but I will copy the log here:

Also, I play my MBII in a Steam version.
And after I tried to open the jamp shortcut it showed a "Corrupt Zone Header" so I think that may have something with my game being Steam version

it showed a "Corrupt Zone Header" so I think that may have something with my game being Steam version

This is normal behavior of the Steam, related to that it switches (renames) jasp.exe and jamp.exe to launch the game.

Right click on Jedi Academy in your Steam Library and select Properties. You should see a button labeled Set Launch Options. Select that, and in the text field copy and paste +set fs_game "MBII". Whenever you start Jedi Academy Multiplayer through Steam it will automatically load to Movie Battles II. If you want to run base, or another modification, you will need to remove or modify the launch options.

Also please do what I've described above about shortcut for mbii.x86.exe.

 

[DESCUBRA!!]

mbii.x86.exe worked with the normal MBII, but the MBII beta didn't work.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that when I say that didn't work I tried to say that it still opened the base JKA game, not MBII beta

To play MBII beta you need to change command line (or shortcut) parameters from

+set fs_game mbii

to

+set fs_game mbiibeta

Make sure you did that properly.

You need to copy these two files from the beta archive to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Academy\GameData" folder:
mbii.x86.exe
rd-vanilla-mbii_x86.dll

Make sure you do have folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Academy\GameData\MBIIBeta", and it contains all required files (beta + 1.3.1).

Make sure you do have these files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Academy\GameData\MBIIBeta":
MBII.pk3
uix86.dll
If there is no uix86.dll file in that directory, open MBII.pk3 with WinRAR or WinZIP and extract it manually.

 

[DESCUBRA!!]

For some reason WinRar didn't extracted all the files from MBIIBeta folder, so it would never work anyway. I extracted everything again and checked if was everything ok and this time worked.

Thanks Puppytine for the help and patience you had...and Bazinga, because if he didn't start this post I would problably be trying to fix it myself lol

 

[Puppytine]

For some reason WinRar didn't extracted all the files from MBIIBeta folder

Just for the record: you no need to extract all files from all .pk3, you needed only one file: uix86.dll from MBII.pk3.
And in fact, even that file should be unpacked by the game; if it failed to do so, that means there is a problem with access right of GameData\MBIIBeta folder. To see those rights, right click on MBIIBeta directory => Properties => Security tab, write access must be allowed for your account.

Edit: or did you mean WinRAR failed to extract contest of Beta distributional .zip? ... If you did, then yes, that was a reason why beta failed to launch.

The second option, it extracted like 5 archives from .zip and MBII.pk3 wasn't one of them
