Technical Issue Difference between JAMP client and MBII client.

[Fletcher Time]

Hi! So I'v been playing recently and I found that there are some differences between the JAMP and MBII clients that are slightly annoying. I don't know if these are known throughout the dev team, so here it goes. When running the game using JAMP. I don't see the opening MBII animation. Also, it is very unstable, as in 90% of the time a server changes maps, My game crashes. JAMP also looks really nice HUD wise. The HUD is a nice size, and the chat isn't obnoxious. Now with the MBII client, everything is way more stable. I can see the opening animation, but the HUD is wider than with JAMP, and the chat is bigger than on JAMP and slightly obnoxious. Also. MBII client allows anti-aliasing, so that is nice. When running MBII, the lag meter is huge, and so is the frame-counter (If they are on.) I like the way JAMP looks, but I like the stability of the MBII client. Is there anyway I can get the best of both worlds? I know these aren't huge problems, but I figured I would post anyways.

1. OpenJK is an open source engine modification. You do not need jamp to use ojk.
2. Pros:
- fixed client side bugs and exploits
- in active development so if you find an issue the ojk contributors will fix it asap
- you can make your own client modification of ojk with pazaak and twi'leks
- new colours for text: grey and orange (will be visible just for you and other ojk users)
Cons:
- uses own config openjk.cfg so all settings will be reset to defaults (on the first launch), so when switching between engines you gonna face weird behaviors of unexpected configurations
- you have to write commands fully to count it as a command (else it will go into chat), so typing q and ENTER won't quit the game
- working directory is placed in My Games or something and everything will be saved there (screenshots, configs, demos etc) (to fix it you need manually add +set fs_homepath "." to startup)
- it is lacking of some features like ratio fix support (though they started adding it recently, but not completed), so everything looks stretched in the game
3. jaMME, because it brings most of ojk fixes and doesn't have ojk cons so it works like extended jamp.

Weird.

Intel graphics?

but the HUD is wider than with JAMP

[SOLVED] - Hud is still stretched out and disproportionate | Movie Battles II Community

EDIT: Damn @Supa is fast.

Yup. Graphics card is out of commission for a bit.

I think it depends on resolution. With 1680x1050 i never saw this animation in my life (only sound) until my son started playing (@1280x1024). Then, i started to have it after switching to OpenJK exclusively for client.
