Widescreen levelshots
By Slash
Description
This modification brings reworked levelshots, with a higher resolution, and is designed for use on a monitor with a 16:9 ratio.
They were shot at 1920x1080, and then scaled to 2048x1024 (the dimensions need to be powers of 2).
While they're slightly different from the original levelshots, they were shot roughly in the same location on each map, and with a similar camera angle.
As of version 1.0, this mod includes levelshots for all 56 base maps (33 single player maps + 23 multiplayer maps).
Note:
widescreen_levelshots.pk3 includes all of the levelshots.
Most were re-shot using the game engine.
A few of them had no in-engine screenshot, originally: t1_danger t1_rail t2_dpred t2_rancor t3_byss vjun1 For these 4 maps, widescreen_levelshots.pk3 includes AI-upscaled versions. widescreen_levelshots_bonus.pk3 includes only brand new, in-engine levelshots for these 6 maps. Loading a map in multiplayer causes the levelshot to be displayed fullscreen, which makes the original levelshots (512x512) horribly pixelated, and somewhat stretched.
Installation instructions
Put widescreen_levelshots.pk3 in your GameData/base folder.
Optionally, to replace the levelshots of t1_danger, t1_rail, t2_dpred, t2_rancor, t3_byss and vjun1 by in-engine screenshots, you can also put widescreen_levelshots_bonus.pk3 in your GameData/base folder.
Acknowledgements
Here's a list of mods, tweaks, and tools that were used to create the levelshots:
The textures come from a mod named "Jedi Academy 2019 Edition - 4K Textures", which provides AI-upscaled versions of the original textures.
Link: https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjediknightjediacademy/mods/6 I used ReShade (https://reshade.me/) to inject some post-processing: Ambient Occlusion (MXAO [qUINT_mxao.fx]) Anti-aliasing (usually SMAA [SMAA.fx], sometimes FXAA [FXAA.fx]SMAA [SMAA.fx]) Screen Space Reflections (SSR [qUINT_ssr.fx]) - only on a few select maps The upscaled versions of t1_danger, t1_rail, t2_dpred, t2_rancor, t3_byss and vjun1 were created with Upscayl / Real-ESRGAN: https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN I used GIMP to resize the images, and in some cases, perform some gamma correction, or other minor edits.151 downloads

Xeby's Scepter Beam
By Xeby
Hello there,
For a long time i wanted the beam of Ragnos scepter to look more powerful (because the beam do alot of damage), so now you have it.

Melee Mod
By MGummelt
Originally released: 11-26-2003
Melee Mod v1.0
by Slice & Dice
(new .sab files and sounds by Slice, new weapon models by Dice, some misc art and .efx by partner-in-crime, Mince)
NOTE: This mod ONLY works if you'd updated Jedi Academy to version 1.01 (the first patch) or later!
WARNING: This mod adds blood (lots of it) to Jedi Academy!
This isn't really much of a full mod in that it doesn't have any new maps (uses JediNight's ancient Ladder map from Jedi Outcast) or enemies, it's more of a weapon mod demonstrating what can be done with the new .sab files. I think this mod even works in multiplayer (I haven't tested it in MP much...)
We had a whole idea for an entire Ninja mod with new textures, skins, levels, cinematics, etc., but we just don't have time right now due to work demands, so we figured we'd release this anyway so that other modders could see what we were up to and draw inspiration (or, if they want, pilfer directly) from it.
All the source files for the map and scripts and even the weapon models are included.
NOTE: all of the new weapon models are not skinned (though they have a metallic color with an environment map and a very nice specular if you have r_DynamicGlow set to 1. If you do, I recommend turning seta r_overBrightBits to 1, also, as it makes the hot spots on the weapons stand out nicely. Some of the weapons *do* have skins, but they weren't made by us. I adapted them from a melee weapons pack made for Jedi Outcast by laghima (squigamawho@cs.com).
INSTALLATION:
Just place the melee.zip into the GameData folder (where your jasp.exe and jamp.exe files are) and unzip it right there. It should extract 4 .bat files into that directory and make a subdirectory named "melee" containing this readme and the melee.pk3. If it doesn't make that subdirectory, you probably didn't have "keep folder names" checked when you unzipped using Winzip.
RUNNING THE GAME:
I included 5 .bat files to start up the game:
melee.bat - This will load up the singleplayer game straight into the ladder_melee map. You'll start only with a single katana (but you can pick up your slain enemies' weapons).
melee_low.bat - This is the low-end version of the mod that does *not* automatically turn on certain options that may chug lower-end machines. Basically, it does *not* turn on the cut and blood marks on Ghoul2 models (including the weapons you hold) and does *not* turn on overbrightening and dynamic glow. Use this one only if you have framerate problems running the normal version.
melee_lethal.bat - All this does differently is turn on the "realistic" damage mode we're all familiar with. Only, in this mod, it's not realistic because melee weapons don't do damage when they're not being swung! I prefer that you *not* use this one because it actually ruins the balance the weapons have normally. In this mode, every weapon is a one-hit killer, even at the slightest cut. If you just want to cut everything to pieces, use this, otherwise, play the normal way for the proper experience.
melee_lethal_low.bat - The lethal mode with low-end settings.
meleeMP.bat - This will start up multiplayer with the melee mod loaded. You should be able to play MP with other people (who are also running the mod) using the melee weapons!
NOTE: You can also load the melee mod like any other mod - just start up Jedi Academy normally (SP or MP) and load the mod through the mod menu. If you want to then run the map manually, bring down the console ("SHIFT"+"~") and type "devmap ladder_melee"
NOTE: This version of the ladder map still supports all the music selections that the original did - so if you have the ladder music pk3 file, you should hear the music in this version, too.
HOW TO PLAY:
Kill stuff! There are a few changes to normal lightsaber combat:
- Melee weapons are solid and, so, will bounce off of architecture if you swing at it.
- When someone is killed and drops their weapons, you can pick them up by standing over them and hitting the "use" key. If you have 1 weapon already, it will put the new one in your left hand. If you pick up a two-handed weapon, it will drop any you already have. If you are already carrying a two-handed weapon, it will drop it and pick up whatever you were standing over. If you pick up 2 weapons, it will put each one in the hand that was closer to the weapon.
- Some weapons let you change saber styles, some don't. Experiment.
- I didn't disable force powers altogether, but some weapons don't let you use certain force powers.
- Some weapons don't let you do certain moves.
- There are a *lot* of different kinds of weapons, try them all!
- There is a shield "weapon". It doesn't really do damage, but it can block attacks pretty well. Good for using in the left hand.
- debugmelee is enabled, you so can hold onto walls as long as you want, switch to fists and punch, kick or (by pressing fire & alt-fire at the same time) do one of the three grapple moves.
- Any weapon that can't be thrown (experiment) will let you do kicks instead.
NOTE: I also included a bind_melee.cfg for singleplayer. If you type "exec bind_melee.cfg" at the console, it will bind all of your function keys (F1-F12), number keys (1-0) and the keys -, +, "[", "]", "\", ";", "'", ",", ".", "/", (basically, all of the non-alphabetic keys on the main keyboard) and L to different weapons so you can quickly equip any of the weapons/weapon combos you like! It also binds "dropsaber" to "backspace" so that you can drop your weapons at any time.
WEAPONS:
Okay, here is the huge list of weapons and a general description:
(note: unless otherwise indicated, assume the weapon is two-handed... also note that you can use any 2 one-handed weapons at the same time)
You can equip any of these by using the key bindings in the bind_melee.cfg (see above), or by typing "saber <weapon>" at the console (where <weapon> is the name listed below). To use 2 at a time, type "saber <weapon1> <weapon2>" (where <weapon1> is the right-hand weapon and <weapon2> is the left-hand weapon).
katana1, katana2, katana3, katana4 - Simple, straightforward katanas. Decent damage and range, can use 2 at a time if you like.
naginata1, naginata2 - One is short, the other is long. It's a short blade at the end of a stick and is kind of hard to hit with, but can do decent damage.
lirpa1 - This the the ceremonial Vulcan weapon that Spock and Kirk fought with in "Amok Time"! One end is a sharp cutting blade and the other end is a blunt bludgeoning weapon.
fan1 - Cool-looking, but not very effective. Decorative fans that cut.
shinai1 - This is a training weapon - a bamboo sword used in Kendo. We were going to use it for our SP mod (in a training sequence with your sensei), but... anyway, fun for practicing with others.
ji1 - A long, spear-like weapon with 3 sharp blades on the end. Awkward and hard to hit with, but does a *lot* of damage.
nodachi1, nodachi2 - Like a very long katana. Has a nice, long range, but doesn't have a whole lot of power behind it.
sai1 - A short, 3-pointed weapon, is very good at parrying and disarming. Can use 2 at a time.
hammer1 - A small hammer, can pack quite a whallop. Can use 2 at a time.
sickle1, sickle2 - Crescent-shaped, extremely sharp and dangerous weapons. Can use 2 at a time.
kama1 - Like a miniature scythe, short weapons with a beak-like short blade at the end. They don't seem dangerous, but they hurt pretty bad when they hit. Can use 2 at a time.
torch1 - It's a torch! Does burning damage (but, no, doesn't set people on fire, sorry...). The effect can be pretty expensive and it isn't a very effective weapon, but it looks kinda cool. Can use 2 at a time (but goes well with a shield).
spear1 - A long, trident-like spear, heavy, awkward, hard to hit with, but hits with a lot of force.
battlehammer1 - A HUGE hammer! It can smash people with a good, solid hit and it can send them flying if you hit the ground near them. Pretty fun... 🙂
sword1 - The giant Conan/He-Man sword... like a Greatsword. Huge, slow, but massively dangerous. Put in the "Conan" soundtrack if you're going to use this one. The trick is to time you swings just right. Since it slows down both your running speed and your swinging speed, it makes you pretty vulnerable to thrown weapons or rapid-attack weapons, so watch out!
shortsword1 - Kind of like a Roman shortsword. Short range, decent damage and attack strength. Can use two at once, but goes best with a shield.
axe1 - A gigantic axe that is utterly devestating! Faster than the sword and, even though the blade is much smaller, much more effective (if you ask me) in combat. The best of the large, 2-handed weapons.
axe2 - A hand axe that has short range but does a lot of damage. Can use 2 at once (goes well with a shield).
mace1 - A heavy, spiked ball at the end of a short pole. Short range, but does a heck of a lot of damage and has a lot of force behind it. Can use 2 at once, but best with a shield.
spear2, spear3 - Not really spears, actually, but more like a staff with blades on the end. Fighting with them is like fighting with a saber staff. Can be extremely deadly!
blade1, blade2, blade3 - Three variations on what you may recognize as a bat'leth, the Klingon weapon from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Very deadly!
claw1 - Basically, like Wolverine's claws! Best used as a pair... snikt! 🙂
starblade1, starblade2 - These are like giant ninja stars. They can be used in melee (very short range) or thrown (devestating!)
shield1 - The shield should always go in the left hand because it makes you use the Tavion style, which does all of it's attacks with the right hand. The shield can actually hit someone and knock them around, but it's not meant to be used as a weapon. It can actually block or deflect some attacks.
That's it! Have fun!

Ladder PBR retexture
By anti2
PBR textures for Ladder map. The original map itself (here) isn't included. Also, you need to download latest OpenJK with rend2 renderer.
Wall texture (textures/impdetention/512_512lights) isn't PRB-ed and just upscaled, because
a) I couldn't recreate blinking glow effect in its shader.
b) Light on vertical edges of walls look too sharp (although it can be fixed in radiant).
Note that it won't look good with vanilla renderer, because albedo textures here override default diffuse textures.

Force Judgement - Lightning reskin
By Noob
A little side project I was working on and decided to give it SP support and release. This mod replaces the lightning effects and icon to the legends power of Force Judgement. The effect is based off of the MBII lightning effect with major editing and shader work. Enjoy!

So, I have been playing JKA ever since it came out. I have seen a ton of mods come and a ton of mods go. I have seen SP mods, I have seen MP mods, I have seen attempts at reinventing the wheel. Never thus far, however, have I seen a labor of love such as this one and (with no offense meant at all towards anyone else) from a person with such aesthetic quality. From the very menu of the mod, to the entire UI, to the Intuitiveness of selecting a character to play as (including variants for them), to the roguelike gameplay that no one knew how much we both wanted and needed, this mod is something that truly makes JKA replayable infinitely. It's also quite magical how the creations of almost every single being in JKhub has coalesced into this gem, making it not only one of the most (if not -the- most) enjoyable mod to have been spawned for the game but also sort of a history book of JKhub past, present and future. Just beautiful. ~S -

Thanks for this, I've taken a look at Mustafar and there was a miscount on one of the waves towards the end leading to the next wave being spawned earlier than it should which I've fixed now and it will be in the next update. I haven't been able to replicate the freezing or missing textures on later rounds though, are you using OpenJK to play the mod? There are issues in the base version of the game which is why I made OpenJK a requirement. I'll look at adding something extra to arenas for clearing all the rooms. I wanted to try to make the characters different to play which is why they have different force powers, it does make some of them harder to play than others but I think it also gives people a bit more of a challenge if that's what they're looking for. I'll look at adding heal/drain to some more characters though to give people more chances to regen their health but I did set up the ladders so you get healed after each boss encounter and after each arena in arenas. Customising characters isn't something I'm going to add though. I want to do everything through the hub map and adding customisable characters would mean too many permutations and it would be a bit of a headache to script, it was bad enough just trying to get these to work as is! -

The mod is amazing. The hub is very cozy, everything is within easy reach. Very interesting idea with a challenge of multiple arenas and ending with a boss room. The variety of characters is impressive, but there is room for improvement. Now I will touch on controversial issues. It's more like feedback: 1) I liked the idea with the arenas, but I wanted there to be a unique reward in the form of a separate secret arena after clearing all the rooms. If you don't go into boss rooms. 2) The ladder modes are very unbalanced. A lot of characters appear on Mustafar; in the last 3 stages, waves of opponents appeared even when the previous ones had not yet ended. It also caused the game to freeze and textures to disappear. There is a similar situation on the Roussan map, although everything is fine with the waves, but towards the final battles the same situation occurs with missing textures and freezing. On the Jedi Temple map, guards with a dual sword in one hand kill with 1-2 attacks. When in this arena you don’t experience the slightest difficulty with the bosses. Played on Jedi Knight difficulty. 3)I wanted to touch on the balance of the characters. As I understand it, the idea was to make each hero with his own unique set of skills, strengths and weaknesses. And almost everyone doesn’t have the healing skill, but several of the characters have it. Which greatly affects the gameplay in the ladder. Although the variety of characters is impressive, some heroes have little or no variety. As I understand it, not everyone was able to be contacted to obtain permission. I would like to see more options or the ability to customize your character yourself. As I wrote above, I really liked the mod. And the moments that I voiced. These are just my impressions of the game, which can be ignored. -
