Quake Freed: Call For Jedi Academy Content

[RAILBACK]

I think the main reason JKA is so popular is because it is available for modding, allowing for a wide range of flexibility in its design, despite its old base technology.

 

Most of that is thanks to having been built upon the flexible engine known as the Quake 3 engine, but some of it is thanks to Raven Software's organisation of JKA's resources and assets, and much of it is thanks to the community's efforts to keep the game and its development resources accessible.

 

 

TRUE.

Not true. ID is responsible for that.

Makermod and Lugormod were the ones I played almost exclusively.

 

Another mod I find very unique is modwooty. There's pretty much no information about it online, but it's a Power Duel mod with a lot of stats and special moves and so on. One interesting aspect is that you can but sub-admin once you've won enough gold, which allows you abuse other players if you want to.

 

Oh geez, is that still running XD? That was on way back when I started in JKA in 2004, really fun but confusing at times (At least back then)

 

Mrs. Wooty and that pit though.

I am very much interested in the JK source release, however it clearly is still early days with not much tangible to point to. (Remember, my medium is mostly visual with added text, and that means it biases "screenshot-able" content)
 
What I hear from the thread is
Lugormod
Makermod
MB2
Movie Duels
JA++
 
Also floating around on moddb:
Jedi Knight Galaxies (their site seems to be down so I cannot download it)
Gunslingers Academy

You may also be interested in jaPRO, which is a project that was built on OpenJK. It is probably the most actively developed MP mod on JKA right now. It mostly focuses on Defrag, but it also adds in competitive play for full force and saber-only combat. There's also a ranking system with an online leader board.

 

Official jaPRO site: http://upsgaming.com/japro/

Leaderboards: http://upsgaming.com/stats/

You can see some Defrag races done on the server here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gSq01QghEafASe5VqGHBA/videos

JK2 - NT mod. it's a mod made for competitive defrag and also has some features for CTF, including crash fixes, new statistics, minor bugs fixed, strafehelper, etc. saber ctf is the most competitive gametype in JK2 (chatmods are terrible) 

 

JK3 - japro (combined defrag-strafing, jk2-style ctf, ja+ fullforce, base duels into one mod)

 

 

JK3 -

 

#1 - jaPRO  (read post above)

#2 - JA+ (best fullforce combat system that replicates JK2 ff but makes it better, no mod to date has beaten it in Fullforcing combat perfection, and JA+ is the most downloaded mod in JK3, tons of NF servers use it as well)

#3 - Lugormod (in its prime before it got oversaturated with bad features)

JKG is...around, I don't know a whole lot about where to find a working download anymore

Gunslinger's Academy is still pretty decent, it has a ton of stuff that isn't in any JA mod (REAL akimbo, where you can have two different weapons, like a shotgun and a pistol)
