Battle for the Republic (BftR) is a project based on the 3D action game Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy®, using the OpenJK engine an the mod Open Jedi Project (OJP). It is inspired by Republic Commando and Battlefront games. The goal is to make a conversion of the game by moving the period of the game to the Clone War and focusing on the coop game mod. Players embody Jedi or Republic's soldiers and carry out through the converted Jedi Academy solo missions. Battle for the Republic is developped as a mod for Jedi Academy but you don't need to get the original game to play.

A class system has been added to the game as far as the customizable equipment. Each class has access to specific equipment/power and has a determined role in the team.
- Original class system with 8 specializations
- New npcs based on the Clone war period
- Prequel music conversion

- adding a special interactive map to launch other coop maps (coming soon in V2) and news coop maps.

Made with Movie Maker XP... don't laugh please

Click on the picture to watch the video

 

Watch BftR Trailer 1

[Rayce]

What's there to laugh at? The trailer is awesome and so is the mod as a whole.

[Ping]

Looks interesting, but the quality of the trailer is atrociously bad. I'm a bit surprised that in 2015, people still haven't figured out that there are excellent alternatives to third-party video capture programs (and there really is no excuse for using third-party capture programs for anything but streaming to begin with). If I managed to capture constant 30 fps footage back in 2004 on the highest settings with a high res, maxed out FSAA etc on a PC that could barely run jka with textures on, then you guys can do the same. You've put so much effort and work into that mod, I'm sure taking the time to do a bit of research on video capturing and then bringing out a trailer that does justice to the mod would be an excellent idea.

[Clan FJA]

thanks you

 

the problem is not the program, the problem is my computer (old XP with a graphic chipset for desktop which has difficulties to run games).

My JKA can not run higher than 640x480 with a capture program (and 800x600 without... yes, in 2015, some people play in 800x600 )

Here is a part of a trailer we are doing about our RP. I release it because Alden is busy and I don't know when he will be able to finish it and correct errors. It is actually just a small part.
It is a direct ingame footage: we did not use devmapall, neither npc spawn, spectator mode or any cheat command.
What you watch is just what you have when you play BftR.
 

Clic on the picture to watch the video

[Clan FJA]

Several mods have camera options so we added our own camera system too It is still in beta and will be avalaible in BftR 4.2.

You can notice the two "Screenshot" button to take screenshots with and without hud.
