About This File
Update: This code enhancement is now a part of OpenJK. If you are using a build past March 2015, you no longer need this mod to use the extended facial expressions. Go to http://builds.openjk.org/ to obtain the latest release.
Description:
This mod consists of custom built binaries (and libraries) that incorporate a facial expressions patch to extend the amount of available Icarus scriptable facial animations in the single-player game of Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
It is designed for single-player mods where the developer/author wishes to have more character facial expressions in cutscenes and otherwise scripted sequences than what the base game allows.
Instructions:
Mac:
Include the custom binary (app) with your single-player mod as a launcher. Provide instructions for your users to place the launcher in the "GameData" folder (above the "base" folder) and use it instead of the default single-player app to launch your mod. You can rename the launcher to whatever you like.
Windows:
Place the patched DLL file into your single-player mod folder.
The new facial expressions are accessible with the following commands in Icarus:
SET_FACESMILE
SET_FACEGLAD
SET_FACEHAPPY
SET_FACESHOCKED
...and of course there's SET_FACEFROWN and the rest.
You can also combine any SET_FACE... animation with either of these SET_ANIM_BOTH head animations in Icarus for more variety and expression:
BOTH_HEADNOD
BOTH_HEADSHAKE
BOTH_HEADTILTRSTART/STOP
BOTH_HEADTILTLSTART/STOP
And use the character looking down with a solemn face for show of sorrow.
This mod was built using the OpenJK source: https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK/
