Anniversary Campaign Expansion Mod 1.2

the presentation is really good but I'm currently soft locked on the t2 nar shadda level. I don't know what to do and I can find the solution. Also I'm guessing there's suppose to be a trigger to put away your lightsaber but it doesn't work and all it does is make you equip your saber and it ignites on it's own.

It seems like a nice mod !

Still glad to see new SP contents. Keep going !

im locking in the t2 mission menu after i played all other t2 missions, also when i access the ns1 map with console commands the game crashs after i leave the landing platform 

Seems like some npc spawns are broken with this mod? Mayhaps the issue is on my end, but was just curious if anyone else was seeing the same thing.
For me thus far, Weequays and Tuskens throw a "Couldn't spawn NPC [entitynamehere]" error in the levels they're meant to show up in.
Tried with JA:Enhanced and OpenJK.

Yeah, some other mod I had that added extra playermodels/npcs was doin it. Carry on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having finished this, I like some of the the added story content. Really makes me want a remake of Jedi Academy even more that actually expands upon the player character's relationship with Rosh and everyone else. Also liked the first part of the new T2 mission. Was pleasantly surprised to see mind trick serve a purpose in that level. That said... the sewer section after is absolutely goddamn awful. Spending swathes of time just mindlessly wandering through copypasted rooms trying to find the "right" way to go was boring, and then having to follow a droid for what felt like 10 minutes all the way back to unlock a door... I don't see many people willingly replaying this level in its current form.

Regardless, thanks for the hard work and effort. Hope you'll keep improving it.

Wrong version of OpenJK.

Actually, I wanted to make this level irritating, but probably this is gone too far. It makes sense to add a color hints. Atthe other hand, nobody would find secret room then.

allready fixed it and played it ,i really liked it good work!

This is great. Nar Shaddaa looks beautiful (in a Nar Shaddaa kind of way), the new cutscenes are well directed and feel like they fit the story like they should always have been there. They give JA the sort of story experience the previous games had, but without being too obtrusive. The AI voices sound surprisingly good as well.

Some criticism: the dialogue has a lot of grammatical errors and awkward language, as though maybe not written by a native English speaker. It's not a huge deal, but it could be tweaked to match the quality of the overall presentation. Also, I didn't get any story info from the datapads (error message: CG_CenterPrint: cannot find reference '@MENUS_DATAPADTOOLTIP' in StringPackage!). Maybe this is my fault, the description did say something about needing a caexan_gui.pk3 - I have no idea what that is or where to get it.

All in all, I had to register to say that this is an excellent addition to the game, and for me, a mandatory mod from now on.

Thanks, I'm really pleased.

Indeed, I'm not a native speaker, and it was too large script for me to proofread it thoroughly. Unfortunately.

I'll check the problem with datapads, but do you use patched OpenJK? It's also possible that some other mod in your game overrides MENUS.str file or some menu files. In general, all found datapads should be available by Tab button, and that's what MENUS_DATAPADTOOLTIP says: "Open mission screen [Tab]".

I updated to the latest version of OpenJK, which I assume should include the patch? If that is not the problem, then it probably is just a mod incompatibility.

This is awesome. I was trying to do this with the SP campaign a few years back just could never figure out how to edit the map entities or make cutscenes. I am guessing you will be working more on this mod? I would love to see it fleshed out to the next level. I also would still like to go back and finish EY4 in the same vein.

Thanks. In fact, almost everything here works without entities modding. Transition to new cutscenes is done in menu files.
I don't plan to add more content in this mod. It took 1,5+ months for me to build it, and now I need to go into commercial projects. But I'm going to update the mod to 1.0 version after I get more feedback about existing problems, plus I'll include to 1.0 slightly-slightly modified original cutscene of the first tier (in this case, I used entities modding, yes).

BTW guys, i'm really curious how do you get to the Nar Shaddaa's docks control center? There are three ways do get inside.

I kill the two criminals on the dock (who, by the way, draw their weapons as if to attack you but don't actually turn hostile - intentional?) and feel kind of badly about doing it. I assume the second way would be to use Mind Trick, but I never pick that power. I also noticed there's an air duct that I couldn't figure out the purpose of, I guess that's the third?

Also, I played the game again, and noticed that some of the cutscene dialogue and subtitles now don't match - I guess you used my proofread version for the subtitles but only some of the voice lines. I don't think there's any glaring errors in either the text or dialogue, but it's a slight incongruency. Additionally, I noticed I made a mistake with my own proofreading (because I was just reading the files instead of watching the cutscenes): the line starting with "No, I mean... It's a lightsaber" in t1_inter0 should be "the lightsaber". Super minor stuff, just mentioning them since you intend to do at least one more release.

Yes: 1) to take the key from the docks worker and smuggler, 2) mind trick, and 3) there is a locked droid (you should free it first), it can open a backdoor, leading to this air duct.

The problem is, my characters limit at elevenlabs was about to expire, so I didn't re-record minor changes. For example, like article "the" which sometimes is barely audible. Plus, it's a headache. To get at least acceptable intonation, i neeed to regenerate the same phrase multiple times, and, in some cases, cut and combine captured tracks.

That's a really cool detail. I figured that mind trick had to be a thing (which is great, it needed some non-combat use for the sake of immersion), but not the third one. More paths add a little bit of roleplaying flavor.

As for the AI voice, that makes sense. I was probably a bit oversensitive because I was actively listening for any possible mistakes in my own proofreading. Of course, the AI can't quite match a real actor's performance, but overall, the cutscenes are IMO already better than the base game's. Even without Nar Shaddaa, they would be enough to make this an essential mod for me. They actually make me feel like Rosh is Jaden's friend (and maybe the only friend) as opposed to a random douchebag I have no reason to care about - which makes me feel invested in the story.

(Also, my issue with the datapads indeed turned out to be with some other mods containing menu files, and were fixed by manually editing those pk3 files. So nothing to fix on your end.)

hi i am trying this new campaign and come with a constant crash on ns1 when getting through new level. how can i fix this? thanks.

It requires latest (May 1) build of OpenJK.

Really cool looking! Do you think this would work with Movie Duels?

I have finished the "Personal Business" mission, then I stuck at debriefing. No button to click.

Must be conflict between mods. Something overrides "ui/ingameforcestatus.menu" after modace_main.pk3 file.

Thanks, found it.

It is the Single Player missions expansion conflicts with this mod.

I love the mod- but when I enter the garbage chute in Nar Shaddaa, it kicks me out of the game and I get this message:

@Lord Caledus Is it OpenJK?

I don't think so, no. I just have the base game on Steam. I did see recently that you mentioned this mod requires it.
Who would have guessed it pays to actually read the instructions...? 

1. i had problems with the vent_plate_glw.jpg in the rancor level , right at the beginning the ventilation grid which you have to destroy to move on, the texture looks weird, so i deleted the file and it looked ok again.

2. T2_Rogue level Racto has no eyes, so i deleted the human_merc folder only deleting the skin didn't fix the bug. (this gives later problems with your map, because the skins are missing )

3. more missions you can play in singleplayer are great, so it would be good if you could make your mod compatible with other singleplayer mods, for example "single player missions expansion" (https://jkhub.org/files/file/3838-single-player-missions-expansion/). i couldn't figure out what exactly i have to change in the ingamemissionselect2.menu. :-p

I like the map, but the sewer section I did not like at all, at some point I turned on noclip.

If I notice other errors I'll let you know, otherwise good mod c-:

Four directions are marked with colors. There are color markers above the door in each node room (well-lit). They show direction to the next node room.
