About This File

The Ladder level is a Single Player map that features a "wave" system. After killing the first enemy, two appear. Then 3. Then 2 and a boss. So on and so on.

The original Ladder level by JediNight (Mike Gummelt, original Raven dev) that was made for Jedi Outcast.

I take no credit for any of this idea, map, or scripts. I merely included the necessary textures and files needed from Jedi Outcast and a few other fixes to make it more compatible with Jedi Academy.

Installation ad usage: put PK3 file in the Jedi Acadmy/Gamedata/base folder, and in the game, open the console with SHIFT + ~ and type /map ladder

What's New in Version v1.3

Released

Version 1.3 (2025-03-02)
Fixed the scripts targeting kyle (player in JK2) changed to player, NPCs are now a bit more aggressive more like the original and force powers and weapons are now properly given to the player at the start. Used a workaround for force powers and saber styles with SET_PLAYERMODEL to a custom Kyle NPC. Also removed the Kyle voice lines since the player may not always be Kyle. Character chooser menu in JAEnhanced should still work just fine after loading if you don't want to be Kyle.

Version 1.2
Removed save file and replaced levelshot with HQ one

Version 1.1
Fixed missing JO textures and NPC's so it now works in JA.

This is the map that keeps me comeing back to JA! Everytime I load JA I play this map. It's also the primary map I test all my mods on.

I knew you loved it, and I didn't even know about it until you said something about in a thread. Definitely a great map! There should be more made like this. I love how simple it is.

Biggest difference between this and the JK2 version is the Reborn are much more aggressive on JK2. They stand where they spawn until you get close here, not sure if this is because the AI between the two games is different, or if you have any plans to change this, but I think it's a problem with how much easier this makes the map.

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the agressiveness set in the *.npc files - but nope. Maybe the ladder map was scripted to specifically attack the player based on him being kyle or something else JK2 specific. Or you're right about the AI in general. It felt MUCH better in JK2 but I guess a lot of the AI part was scripted and less 'AI'. Maybe there's a way to tweak the AI range in JKA?

It's just how the games were made. AI in JKA are much less intelligent and aggressive. It's not specific to this level.

You can fix this by adding the GTKRadiant "huntkill" script to the NPCs.
