Must have Singleplayer mods? / Mods like Kotf? (JKA)

[Rexidexi]

Hey, i've been playing Jedi Academy for some years with the Kotf Mod but since I just now learned of the controversy sorrounding it I wont continue using it. Therefore my question, I am looking for something similar to it! By that I mean map selection, npc spawning etc. but also since I didnt really use alot of small mods I hoped some of you guys could suggest some must have mods!

There isn't really anything like KOTF because it was just a collection of people's mods in one, with a fancy menu to spawn things.

 

I recommend just trying out stuff you find in our files section.

Movie Duels is fun, but not really the same at all.  However, you might find it interesting to note someone is 'remaking' KotF with the legal mess sorted out: https://jkhub.org/topic/8041-kotf-21/

Thanks! I'll take a look around then. Still I can only hope i'll find something so I wont have to load up everything via the console ... oh well.

what controversy?

 

Money and other toydarian tricks. Mostly more money.

Check out the Wiki for more details.

Look here:

A mod with a campaign comparable to original JA, more difficult than JA, cutscenes, exotic lightsabers and the ability of pick up enemy's lightsabers.

Escape Yavin 4 is good yeah. Although strangely the opening of the original version is different than the Lost Levels. It gives more context for why Jaden is in a prison and where his lightsaber is. Wheras in The Lost Levels you pick up lightsabers off enemies and there's less context as to why you're there. It sort of reminds me of the differences between the original theatrical cut of Star Wars and the Special editions.

 

Also for some reason it takes place after the Bad ending to Jedi Academy and yet Rosh is somehow alive. And iirc Kyle Katarn doesn't appear despite vowing to hunt Jaden down at the end of the bad ending to JKA. And for some reason Jaden is a silent protagonist despite being a fairly talkative character in the original game.

 

Otherwise there's lots of good singleplayer total conversions. Some not for Jedi Academy but Jedi Outcast. One of my favorites being Nemesis of Katarn by Living Dead Jedi. Which is a Jedi Outcast Total Conversion

There's also Mace Windu Party Crasher. Which contains brand new voice acting and a noticeably distinctive aesthetic compared to the vanilla game

and the Dark Forces remake mod. Which is so hugely polished it's a tragedy that it was left unfinished

And a bunch like that. Both games had their share of singleplayer total conversions and most are in the filefront archive or on moddb. It's unfortunate that there was such a glut of really really impressive multiplayer maps for both games but a much more sparse singleplayer community.

Thank you for the recomendations. I will try some of them out!

If you want SP content, I released two SP campaign on this site.

 

 

But warning, first of all, the first one is really ond and the mapping is not as the level of these mods which are quoted. Its contains 45 maps.

 

The second one is more complex, with an improvement of mapping skill and 55 maps to play.

 

These maps are not Star Wars like, there are in an old adventure platform game's style, with psychedelic things. 

 

 

I'm making the third one, which contains cinematics, scripting, round architectures and a bunch of new things.

 

 

 

 

The good point if that they are probably on this site the two longest SP campaign ever made (the two contains 100 maps in total), but I have no pretention doing these, because I totally assume the platform game's style.

 

 

 

BTW, 

 

the first one:

Besides the campaigns, are there add/load menus like in Kotf?

[RJA]

Aw, just not,

 

 

I lost the main subject with Yavin Escape, so I just talked about SP campaign. ^^

 

 

But there are LOT of new ennemies
