INSTALLATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grab the following files

“KotOR2DuelsMultiplayerMapPackV2-Standalone.pk3”
“KotOR2DuelsMultiplayerMapPackV2-Standalone-ExtraAssets.pk3”
“CITADELSKY.pk3”
“MALACHORSKY.pk3”
“RAVAGERSKY.pk3”
“TELOSSKY.pk3”
and throw them into your Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/Gamedata/base folder

Note 1: Please do not mix this files with the modded files released in the Version 1.1 of KotOR 2 Duels. That mod version already has bots and maps included. This standalone pack version is just an extraction of the mod, but may operate a little bit different. Please do not mix this and that files since that is not how I designed them. Remember, this is just a standalone pack meant to work for those that do not want to download KotOR 2 Duels, or want to use it in the base folder, or probably in a private mod with a combination of plenty of other mods.

Note 2: If you are going to use the map-pack with the KotOR bots I released, I recommend getting the necessary files into an independent folder in your Gamedata. It can be called anything. As long as it is detected by your mod files inside Jedi Academy Multiplayer, you are good to go. This is just in case you have other mods or bots which may conflict with the bots themselves. Remember, I did put the maximum bot number in my bot pack. So, if you have more bots. Some may not be shown.

Note 3: 75 KotOR botpack available in Moddb, under the SWJKA KotOR 2 Duels addons page. Thank you!

SUMMARY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the revisited version of my old KotOR 2 duels map-pack. This V2 contains three more maps, several re-designed levels plus plenty of tweaks and fixes for multiplayer gameplay. Note that this is the standalone version so several Npcs and Easter Eggs may not work. These were designed in combination with the mod pack. But the core functionality of this pack will work well. Maps will be playable and bot friendly.

Patch notes V2.

• Added break points to all of the maps. The environments are now destructible. Almost like in the Matrix. Not all the maps support this and some support it more than others, but in one way or another, you may see the floor breaking or a wall. Maybe a support, or probably something else. I hope you like this feature.
  

Maps:

• Revisited each map of the mod in its single player and multiplayer versions. Then, I did a rebuilt process on all of them. Lightning looks a little bit better, but the build times did increase exponentially in some maps. Some more details in the following lines.
  • Fixed an issue with an invisible wall on Dxun Mandalorian Outpost.
  • Citadel Station Docks had been redesigned. Now, there are two more areas to enter and grab pickups.
  • Fixed lightning issues on the Dantooine mission against Vrook.
  • Changed texturing in all of the tomb maps from Korriban.
  • Redesigned Sion Duel at Korriban to resemble more to the academy at KotOR 2.
  • Fixed trigger issues on most maps.
  • Added a fog layer to The Ravager map.
  • Fixed song quality issues.
  • Fixed the fog on the Kreia Vision map. Back then it was yellow-gray, now it is blue.
  • Fixed several lightning issues on the ceiling from the Malak vision map.
  • Fixed plenty of texturing areas on Citadel Station. Same with entities and removed breakables. Added doors and tweaked entities for all three modules.
  • Revisited and did a small re-design to the Dxun Duel with the Sith Lords map. The background is not more reminiscent of its KotOR 2 area, and added red fog.
  • Added breakables on almost all maps. This means that when you hit a place in the floor or a wall it will break. Works in both, Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
  • Added a hollow tomb in the Dxun Duel with the Sith Lords map. Now, the player can pick up the Freedon Nadd lightsaber. If you have a single blade, it will automatically assign you the second saber.
    

  [*]Tested for bugs, found plenty, but fixed most by this release. (AKA invisible walls, objects, broken geometry, bad texturing, etc.) Maps should be working really nice, especially the ones from Multiplayer. I took extra care on these. If you find any bugs, please feel free to let me know to fix these in the future. [*]Darth Sion duel at Korriban has been re-designed. I decided that the map was not good enough, and I did a small re-design. I hope you like it. [*]Multiplayer maps had been deeply tweaked. In this situation, I added better entities for multiplayer gameplay. The one I like the most is Citadel Station. You will find plenty of medpacks, shields, weapons and more around maps. [*]I did some small secret easter eggs to some maps. The first one is on Peragus. If you are using the mod, plus the map-pack correctly. You will be able to see Atton in its cage. That area is now accessible. Next is on the Trayus Academy, at the duel with sion. There is a wall which you can break and which will give you plenty of items to survive the duel. Also, I added a door in this area which also includes a room with entities for the player. [*]Levelshots had been tweaked, both singleplayer and multiplayer. Also, revisited plenty of levelshots that had typo errors. I still have these, but at least they will not be like way back. They were pretty bad.
  

Audio:

• Revisited all of the map audio files and changed them while in the editor. Now, the music sounds better. Every song has been re-exported to reach maximum quality that I can possible deliver. Some others could not be done because they had limitations within the script, and they had to be that way. Still, everything sounds better than before. That last Ebon Hawk battle music I left regarding its quality was a sin. I apologize about that.
  

Bugs:

• NPC will be missing from several maps. This is due that the KotOR 2 mod files are not in the combination. But this does not affect gameplay in any way or another.
• Did not saw anything else so far, but if you see something feel free to let me know so I may fix it in a possible (can’t promise it) release. Thank you!
  

Notes:
1.- This package replaces three sky textures. These are Coruscant for Telos Citadel Station Under Attack. Then, Boba_night for Citadel Station. Next, The Ravager sky for Byss and finally Malachor for Vjun. In any case and for convenience. In case you need to use the bot files or maps beyond or outside the modded folder. If you want to use the original skies again. Just remove the respective sky .pk3 from your base or modded folders. Again they go like this:

• MALACHORSKY.pk3 – Reeplaces Vjun sky.
• CITADELSKY.pk3 – Reeplaces Boba_Night sky.
• TELOSSKY.pk3 – Reeplaces Coruscant sky.
• RAVAGERSKY.pk3 – Reeplaces Byss sky.
  

Remember, if you don’t want the KotOR 2 skies anymore, or any sky from the list. Just remove the .pk3 from your modded or base folders.

3.- The file “KotOR2DuelsMultiplayerMapPackV2-Standalone-ExtraAssets.pk3” contains a quick fix for the Prisoner NPC. Basically the NPC appeared texture-less (gray and white texture all over the model) when loaded. This was pointed to the Prisoner2 NPC inside the Prisoner NPC file, so I just changed the Prisoner2 model to load Prisoner default. If this file is making any of your mods conflict. Just remove it. Any other prisoner replacement will work fine. Thank you.
4.- I may release all the source files of the maps someday in the future. I am still debating if I should do it. This is pointed for the community to do whatever they want with the maps for their personal or public projects. I may think about it. Anyways, if you see in the future a pack with the .map files, I will do my best to release all the maps. For now, I am still in doubt if the pack will see the light, let’s see in the future.
5.- For the curious, this update took more than I expected. I worked on this for about an entire week counting in hours. So, about 336 hours or so. This pointed to the entire KotOR 2 mod v1.1 – Also, something to point out. These maps are not module ports. I designed the geometry of these maps from scratch in GTK Radiant 1.4 and 1.5.
6.- KotOR 2 Duels V1.1 is available online, ready to download and play. I hope you like the mod!
