Hello all,
<----BBA wannabe here :)

I'm trying to play demos and make frag movies. my demos are dated 2007-07-19 ect.

at first it said, not able to play demo. so i uninstalled the game and after the reinstall i only visited BBA1
the demo wasn't in the replay folder until after i connected/disconnected from the server.

now my error message is this:

Jaymod version mismatch,
client jaymod 2.2.0
server jaymod 2.0.5

am i to guess that my demos are too old for playing now?
in all this time no PC genius made a stand alone demo player?
i have 2.5 GB of demos to watch.

i'll get my old et key off my external HDD after i get these demos working.

i've tried these work around(s):

i went through the available server list and looked for
game type: jmod
mod_version 2.0.5

i couldn't find any.

i put my demo in all of these mods (with results)

nitmod (same result as jaymod error message)
etpub (no servers would let me connect)
etnam (a cool mod, but mismatch client)
etjump (mismatch client)
NQ (game crashed)
Silent (demo loaded but crashed with error 'unknown event 135')
etpro (same as silent 'unknown event 135')

no results for a google search for unknown event 135.

i found these 2 pk3 files for jaymod
2.1.7
2.0.4

i tried to delete jaymod 2.2.0 and replace them with those older ones. started the game. loaded the mod. tried to play the demo. same error message about version 2.2.0

my external HDD should have a copy of my entire game folder from back then, but idk. i might have deleted it.

i'll try some more ideas as i think of them, but i'm guessing i need a jaymod version 2.0.5
if i even understand the meaning of the error message
