   It's true, a lot has changed. And it's also terrible that a lot is happening on Discord. Nevertheless, we still have this forum, which is one of many that are still active. And even though the Jedi Knight community is not as active as it used to be, many are still doing their part to keep it going. No matter if the mods are big or small, of them are what keeps this community alive. And if it has largely moved to Discord, then so be it. The certainty alone that people are still creating content for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy is what makes me happy.

   As for the mod you've mentioned, they were never intended to preserve content. The main purpose of both mods is (or was, since KotF 2.1 has ceased development following "creative differences") to be what the original KotF tried to be: A mod about the Star Wars saga that focuses on recreating certain missions from the films and other media. That's why it does make sense to only focus to add content based on Star Wars, and not random maps that don't have anything to do with it. And from what I'm seeing so far, they're doing an impressive job.

   And as for the preservation of mods: It doesn't require a massive mod. Sadly, a lot of them are gone, especially since the closure of pcgamemods.com, which was the home of a lot of mods you couldn't find anywhere. A lot of the other stuff you could find on jk3files.com can be found at Mrwonko's side, which is at least something. Anything else requires sheer luck. Who knows, maybe someone has some lost mods on their old hard drive that are nowhere available on the internet. And if they decide to upload them for everyone to download, be it here or somewhere else, that would be another preservation job done.

   I know KoTF 2.1 wasn't intended to be a archive mod, but when I want to show people a ton of JKAs content and maps, and give them one simple download, that's where I direct them to. I'm not big into Galactic Legacy, as they are focusing mostly on SP content over MP, and they removed non star wars maps, which is a problem for me.

    

   pcgamemods was long dead before I even arrived to the JKA scene sadly, but I know some of those maps made it onto DGS maps, which unfortunately is now also dead. There is also jediholo, which has many assets as well.

    

   You're right, one massive mod isn't needed to keep those mods alive. HOWEVER, it would certainly help safeguard the mods contained within it to guarantee survival, as more people are likely to download that one file, instead of downloading the entire archive of JKA's mods.

   Very cool! Were you able to recycle any of the Raven's Claw interior pieces from the cutscene assets or did you create your own?

   I was able to repurpose the map_objects from the base game for this.

   It was a fun way to return to the game! What we did on New Years Eve was certainly interesting as well on the KOTF server. But I'm not sure if we missed any of the maps.
