Jedi Academy File Manager
JAFM Beta EARLY-RELEASE Version 00.01.00

Introduction
Jedi Academy File Manager (JAFM) is a utility for easily keeping track of PK3's/Packages, Mods, and CFG's for your Jedi Academy game. Currently this is a beta early-release, available only here on the KR forums. With that said, for the time it is here (until June 25th) I'd appreciate anyone and everyone report, criticize and evaluate my application before it is published to JK Hub.

Features
- Enable/Disable PK3's
- Detailed modder's support
- Dynamic mod installation & management
- CFG (scripts and configs) editor.
- JASP/JAMP launcher with argument support.
- Profile system for keeping multiple sets of gamedata folders and selections of active packages.
- Large amount of backgrounds to choose from, all from JA!

Planned Features
- PK3 packaging tool
- PK3 editor
- List sorting
- Skins and more customization

Things That Don't Work & Disclaimers
- If you have a steam installation of JA, due to the way steam works you will be unable to launch multiplayer from JAFM. Sorry!
- This application must be ran in administrator mode for people who have installed JA into their "x:\Program Files" and "x:\Program Files (x86)" directories.
- I'm confident JAFM won't destroy your game or folders, however if you don't believe me - back up your GameData folder before use.

Further Notes
- If you help find a bug, I will credit you to being a beta tester.
- I'm eager to see what you guys think, your opinions matter to me and this is something I've been working on for quite a long time.

Modder Support
1. Download a copy of the jafm_info.txt file found here: clicky clicky
2. Fill out your mod's details inside.
3. Put the jafm_info.txt into your PK3's top directory or next to it inside a ZIP file.
4. JAFM will attempt to look for a jafm_info.txt and a read-me.txt during analysis.
5. A plethora of Read-Me file names are searched to cover multiple possibilities of you messing up ;)

Credits
- Thanks to MasterM, he has been my most dedicated tester.
- Thanks to Fal & Zab for the support & encouragement.

Installation
1. Download JAFM from the link below.
2. Put the application wherever you want, and start it up. It does not need to be in a certain directory.
3. Use as you see fit!
