Project Goals

  1. To provide an open source JK2 multiplayer client/server distribution for modern systems.
  2. To support all three major JK2 multiplayer versions: 1.02, 1.03 and 1.04.
  3. To benefit JK2 multiplayer community by providing necessary engine bugfixes, enchancements and changes to keep the game playable online using JK2MV.
  4. To benefit JK2 modding community by providing engine bugfixes, enchancements and documentation.
  5. To maintain compatibility with modifications created for original JK2 client/server.

Note that MVSDK is a separate project with its own goals.

Howto Build JK2MV

  1. Clone the JK2MV repository Clone the JK2MV repository including submodules:
    • git clone --recursive https://github.com/mvdevs/jk2mv
  2. Get CMake from either https://cmake.org or, in case of Linux, from the repositories of your distribution.
  3. Dependencies
    • Windows: Requires at least Visual Studio 2013, required libraries are shipped with JK2MV in the libs directory.
    • Linux/FreeBSD: OpenGL, OpenAL, SDL2 and depending on your configuration libjpeg, libpng, libminizip, zlib.
      • Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install git debhelper devscripts libsdl2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev libminizip-dev
      • Fedora: dnf install git SDL2-devel mesa-libGL-devel openal-soft-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel zlib-devel minizip-devel
    • MacOSX: XCode on MacOSX >= 10.9
      • Configure / Build SDL2:
        1. curl -O https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.10.tar.gz
        2. tar xzf SDL2-2.0.10.tar.gz && cd SDL2-2.0.10/Xcode/SDL
        3. sed -i -e 's/@rpath//g' SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (packaging fails otherwise)
        4. xcodebuild -configuration Release
        5. mkdir -p ~/Library/Frameworks/
        6. ln -s `pwd`/build/Release/SDL2.framework ~/Library/Frameworks
  4. Configuration
    • Either
      • Use the CMake GUI to configure JK2MV
      • Generate the default configuration by using the build scripts in the build directory.
    • Important Options
      • BuildPortableVersion Build portable version (does not read or write files from your user/home directory)
      • BuildMVMP Whether to create targets for the client (jk2mvmp & jk2mvmenu)
      • BuildMVDED Whether to create targets for the dedicated server (jk2mvded)
      • BuildMVSDK Whether to build and integrate the mvsdk modules.
      • CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug/Release Build for development/release.
  5. Building
    • Unix-Makefiles
      • make Build all previously selected binaries.
      • make install Installs JK2MV to /usr on Linux. On MacOSX it finishes the App-Package.
      • make package Generates rpm/deb packages on Linux and a dmg image on MacOSX.
