What do you consider the "essential" JKA Mods

[comicstar100]

For years I've played Jedi Knight Academy on my xbox. But recently I got the game on PC and I'm wondering what do you consider the essential JKA mods that everyone should play? I've used a few cosmetic mods like adding new characters and lightsaber hilts but that's about it.

Personally I'm a fan of singleplayer missions / mods, so I can't help but suggest trying out the Dark Forces Mod:

And of course Movie Duels II:

Also, I appreciated the first (and only) chapter of a mod series, Deception:

As well as Dash Rendar Resurgence:

Plus, the whole Nina Series:

If you're more interested in multiplayer mods, you should try out Movie Battles II:

For SP campaigns:

 

Crash on Tatooine

 

Dark Forces

 

Dash Rendar Resurgence

 

Eve of Redemption

 

Sith Valley

 

Spaceport

 

For cutscene cinema:

 

Team Corellia (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Bonus: Interview)

 

Essential:

 

As for "essential", I would say replacing Luke Skywalker, Rosh Penin, and Alora with more sensible looking, canon-like counterparts -- use my personal patch for this -- and the taunts restored for all Jedi Outcast characters in MP.

Nice, I see alot of mods Ive yet to try yet

So I just posted about this not too long ago so I'll quote what I said:

 

 

Open JK is the only mod you really "need" in my opinion.  Get latest builds here: https://builds.openjk.org/  It doesn't change anything as far as gameplay goes, but rather provides you with a much more stable and secure client and server to play with then the vanilla game.  You also get some cool new technical features that provide larger support for various screen resolutions, etc.

 

Everything else is entirely up to your personal choices.  Movie Battles is a popular multiplayer that adds a lot of new viable strategy and balance to the siege game mode and is really it's own game.  Here: https://www.moviebattles.org/

 

There's also popular single player mod that let's you play the most iconic battles from the films, called Movie Duels here: http://md2.ucoz.com/load/

 

If you're just starting you should try out one of Szico VII's maps, say...Atlantica: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1561-atlantica-fix/

 

Right now the latest popular thing on jkhub is this: http://jkhub.org/files/file/2550-jedi-academy-enhanced/  I haven't tried it yet (though I need to!)
