ok, heres the lowdown

im trying to run my own server and have all admin (just to have a taste of what i hope is to come >:D ). and i run it like the FAQ says and i exec my server settings, but when i try to do any JA+ command it says in the console the command is unknown

what did i do wrong?

Make sure you have the JA+ Mod loaded. Besides the short-cut you run that laods it automatically, also check it is running in the Mods section off the top menu.
Also ensure you are using server.cfg in the japlus folder.
Edit that file and make sure all references to JA+ are enabled. From memory (as I'm not near my machine) there are such switches as enable emots and new moves, wall hang etc.
Also run the javascript program provided by Slider (I think its in tools sub-directory) which allows you to enable the emots one by one, hit the check all button and confirm the number it gives you is set in the right place in you server.cfg. It will tell you the name of the cvar you have to set. That is also true for weapons allowed, force powers etc set on the server.
If you have that server.cfg I sent you (otherwise Darfin has it) it should be pretty much close to what you want, it has the same settings as KR wrt weapons, grapple (and hook ammo), jetpack, force powers etc. It also has all the new emots enabled.

i keep all the mod stuff in the base folder, so it automatically loads when i run and i tried all of that
i even went to the JA+ site and made a whole server script, and i exec'd it after following these instructions that came with the JA+ mod

the best way to do it : start a DEDICATED SERVER: server started in a little console
install the file start_japlus_without_dedicated_raven_pack.bat in gamedata folder
then double click on this .bat file
it will start a console (this is your dedicated server)
then open your game and type into console /connect IP:21000 where IP is your IP and 21000 is the port
used by the dedicated server
(you can change the port by editing the .bat file with notepad, you also can use the dedicated server pack
released by raven and install it and then use instead the file called start_japlus_using_raven_dedicated_server_pack.bat
to start the server)

it runs a server, but none of the JA+ stuff works, would the fact i dont play with a disk affect it?

PK3 's are different to a mod, a mod has be manually loaded, either by command-line parameters within a batch file, or by loading the mod in the mod section in the options menu page. Just having the files in the right place will not load a mod (note that sabers, skins, maps and patches such as blood+ and systemA are not mods, but packages).
But as I've never attempted to run a dedicated server, and see no reason to if you intend to run the program from the same computer. The definition of dedicated here means that you do not intend to run the game from the same computer.
You can be a networked host from within the game without being dedicated. I've gone that for years on a LAN before I started playing online.
If you are managing to connect, then look at the server messages and see if it is running the JAPLUS mod on your server. Compare to the startup messages that KR gives so you know what you are looking for.
If you intend to use the same machine as a dedicated server and to play the game (which in itself is a contradiction) then make a separate copy of the GameData folder. Copy the whole folder, including the base and japlus folders, the whole lot (call it gamedata.local or something). Run the server batch file in the gamedata folder, then to play the game run your jamp.exe from the gamedata.local folder, using the info you were provided above. In the running game copy ensure the JA+ mod is loaded from the options menu.
Now if you want to actually run your server so it is accessable to a LAN or to the www then you'll have to fix your software filewall and setup port forwards in your router; but that's a completely different story.
As I said I've never run a ded.serv. so I'm unaware of other pitfalls there may be.

ooooooooh....

lol, ok, so i copy the JA+ stuff over to my gamedata folder and run it manually on jedi academy?

[jawfin]

With explorer go to "c:\program files\lucasarts\jedi knight jedi academy\".
(Path and directoy names from memory, so sorry if they are a bit wrong.)
Highlight the GamData directory, off the edit menu select copy, then off the edit menu select paste.
Rename the new "Copy of GameData" folder to "GameData.local".
Run the ded.serv. from the gamedata folder.
Then run the jamp.exe from the gamedata.local folder.
And please re-read my other posts above for the other things you have to do.
