Jedi Academy's .game file lacks entries

[mrwonko]

Jedi Academy's .game file should look somewhat like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<game
  name="Jedi Knight Jedi Academy"
  enginepath_win32="D:/Modding/JKA/GameData"
  gametools_win32="D:/Modding/JKA/GameData/ZeroRadiant"
  engine_win32="jasp.exe"
  mp_engine_win32="jamp.exe"
  basegame="base"
  shaderpath="shaders"
  default_scale="0.25"
  gamename="ja"
  caulk_shader="textures/system/caulk"
/>

Most importantly shaderpath defaults to scripts, which is wrong.

Currently there are only name, enginepath_win32 (on Windows at least), gametools_win32 (dito), prefix and basegame.

JA's .game file from 1.5 is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?>
<game
  type="ja"
  index="7"
  name="Jedi Knight Jedi Academy"
  enginepath_win32="C:/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/"
  engine_win32="jaSP.exe"
  mp_engine_win32="jk2MP.exe"
  basegame="base"
  default_scale="0.25"
  shaderpath="shaders"
  common_shaders_name="System"
  common_shaders_dir="system/"
  basegamename="Jedi Knight Jedi Academy"
  unknowngamename="Custom JA modification"
  show_gamemode="1"
  eclass_filter_gamemode="1"
  archivetypes="pk3"
  texturetypes="tga jpg png"
  modeltypes="md3 ase lwo obj 3ds picoterrain"
  maptypes="mapq3"
  shaders="quake3"
  entityclass="quake3"
  entityclasstype="def"
  entities="quake3"
  brushtypes="quake3"
  patchtypes="quake3"
/>

I don't see any .game files as part of the gamepacks, I assume they are generated by GtkRadiant? Why aren't .game files just copied over to the game install directory like everything else?

Why aren't .game files just copied over to the game install directory like everything else?

Probably because they contain paths, which won't be the same on all computers.
