About This File

OpenJK is an effort by the JACoders group to maintain and improve the game engines on which the Jedi Academy (JA) and Jedi Outcast (JO) games run on, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the existing games. This project does not attempt to rebalance or otherwise modify core gameplay.

Our aims are to:

  • Improve the stability of the engine by fixing bugs and improving performance.
  • Provide a clean base from which new JO and JA code modifications can be made.
  • Make available this engine to more operating systems. To date, we have releases on Windows, Linux and macOS.

The JKHub sub-forum is a better place for support queries, discussions, and feature requests. Bug reports and major issues should be posted in the Issues section on GitHub.

Installation

This is an essential project to the life of Jedi Academy.  Pretty much every open source mod is based on it and uses it as a starting point.  This is essentially the unofficial patch for Jedi Academy, note that it tries to maintain compatibility with the original Jedi Academy game instead of adding new features.  Many newer mods add new features that may be desired for multiplayer such as EternalJK which is like a version of OpenJK with a bunch of extra bells and whistles.  So you may want to use that instead of OpenJK if you're looking to just play the base game.  It works great, and does exactly what the project intended to do.  What else needs to be said?  If you're new to modding Jedi Academy, or just want to play the multiplayer this is where you should start.

It'd be nice to one day get an official release with all packaged up in a pretty little installer, but for now this is at least some sort of release.
