Okay I basically already posted this, but no one responded to it. Alright, when I start a dedicated server for JK2 it takes me to a small black console window with a whole bunch of text, I want to actually play in my server. Is there a way that I can actually play in the game?

Untested, but try this: make a duplicate copy of the JK2 MP app. Use one copy to launch the dedicated server and another copy to play. Does that work?

The whole point of a dedicated server is that the computer uses all its resources for that server. I believe you can (in app) make a server that allows you to play the game aswell.

Yeah you can, just uncheck Dedicated Server.

I've tried that before, what happens is I can't find my own game. What I'm going to try this time is to go into the console after I open the duplicate and type "Connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;" that address being my IP.
