This patch is referred to the in-game buffer-overflow bug described
here:

  http://aluigi.org/adv/jamsgbof-adv.txt

Probably my patch can be applied to any version of the game but I have
tested only the 1.01.
In any case I support only the latest version.

2) Steps
========


- download my patcher for the Call of Duty buffer-overrun bug:

  http://aluigi.org/patches/codmsgfix.lpatch

- open the following file contained in your Jedi Academy folder with a
  ZIP program (like Winzip for example):

  GameData\base\assets3.pk3

  note that the number of the assets file can change if you have other
  versions of the game, in any case get the file with the higher
  number available.

- extract the file jampgamex86.dll

- launch codmsgfix.lpatch with lpatch.exe (you can find all the
  instructions within the codmsgfix.lpatch file which is a normal text
  file)

- select the dll file you have just extracted, you will receive a
  success message

- create a zip file containing only the patched jampgamex86.dll file.
  the name of the zip must be assets4.pk3 (note the number 4 while the
  other zip was 3) and must be placed in the same folder where is
  located assets3.pk3.

- your server is patched and will no longer crash (or worst since this
  is a buffer-overflow bug).

  Report me any problem
