Minimap Player Arrows are white instead of team-colored

Noted, I suspected that but didn't feel like checking. For that matter, last time I played on JAMP, if I was playing Mando with dual pistols, jetpacking, and shooting at a wookie, the map would flicker and I'd do weird lag teleportation that made things unplayable and meaningless. I don't know if the wookie was required, but it definitely happened a lot in combat, and never out of combat.
I'll try jamp again for the sake of useful map arrows and a non-stretched HUD, but I definitely haven't been getting the combat unplayability in MBII client.

... actually, now when I play with the JAMP version via Steam, I'll get kicked from servers for not using the launcher. And I can't use the launcher to launch JAMP because my JA install is in a different location than my Steam install. So I guess I'm stuck with the playable combat but mildly distressing HUD issues of OpenJK.
Does the HUD stretching and arrow coloring seem like something that'll ever be fixed? Or is there some fundamental strange reason why they can't. Or is it just very difficult but possible :y

Then why don't you just reinstall JA into a Steam folder? Having Jedi Academy in some folder other from Steam one is known to cause problems.
Also you no need to run game using Launcher, you just have to keep Launcher running while playing (though maybe the fact that game is installed in wrong directory won't allow anti-cheat system to work properly, idk).

Actually I changed my mind and just move my installation back onto my laptop SSD rather than the external HD i'd been using. Maybe that will magically solve the combat unplayability too.
redoing my config while experimenting made me realize that if I keep the thirdpersontargetdamp and thirdpersoncameradamp settings at 0.6 and 0.3 respectively, my crosshair remains accurate. Which is yet another workaround I have for the crosshair bug, I guess. Dunno what's harder, though, playing with a stiff cam and no crosshair or playing with a swoopy cam and a crosshair.
Aiming with the center of the screen seems easier than aiming with this little circle that the screen laggily catches up to.

I don't think this bug was on 1.3 otherwise people would have complained about it, but anyway check with JAMP and see if you have this problem as well.
Should I have it with gunners and sense 1? Because I am sure I never had red arrows with gunners and with sense 1 in 1.3. I didn't report it, cause I thought it's deliberate for balance. How should I have known it should be red when it never was?

I didn't quite understood the gunners part but here is how it works:
If you use sense 1, 2, 3 doesn't matter, on the minimap will appear red arrows showing your enemies position, if you are in range ofc.

I'm pretty sure that sense 1 was showing everything on minimap as white also in 1.3.*, using OpenJJ. Just like sense 2 show them through wall, but doesn't tell who is who. Only sense 3 was colour-coding enemies for me.
If it is not like that in jamp, i think it should
As for dealing with it - I was determining who is who by noticing who I *shouldn't* be seeing on the minimap without sense, before using it, yet I am - it was obvious teammate..

How so, your allies always appear on minimap as green, what's the difference if appears as red or white if they are not green they are obviously enemies

For me, they're very, very green/red in jamp, and white (kinda bluish?) in OpenJK.Erm, for me they appear white, too, sense or not? Or the colour tint is just too subtle for me

Alright, in the beta, when I used sense 1, allies and enemies appeared white. I was using the mb2client then.
Now, since mb2client doesn't work for me
I switched to jamp. Sense 1 does show green allies/red enemies.
