STAR WARS: Movie Duels (Remaster of Movie Duels II)

[mjt]

Takes a shit ton of trial and error and I nearly hung myself over transferring UV Unwraps for the lightmaps between one version and another - sadly this took out a lot of my time for another project I had hoped to help out with - but maybe I'll be able to keep up with the pace now that I got back into it properly.

Btw... Movie Duels Developers - did your coders change anything with regards to dynamicGlow / rendering of Fog / OpenGL blendFuncs? Because I had tried to make this map look good in BaseJKA / OpenJK - not with the Movie Duels fork.

If so and you remember what it is, PM me and I might be able to work around it.

EAGLE Soundmesh also works now.

FPS I presume is still horrible though with all the fog and EFX - I'll try my best to make this run on potato PCs

[Razuun]

Is there a way to add new characters, maps etc to this map yourself?

I love the framework of this mod, but there are some characters, models etc I'd like to use from elsewhere.

We still have to figure out why is this happening. Could be some code limitations, maybe too many effects... we dont know. It is pretty annoying I agree.

Linken from Galactic Legacy MOD told me on YouTube, that Jace Solaris fixed the error of blasters no effect

Is this true? :)))

In the next update of MD, will this fix in the update?

A dream come true!!!

[Mister_TSquared]

Hey there.  I downloaded Jedi Academy on Steam but am running MovieDuels through the .exe.  I'm noticing that the skybox isn't being loaded in the missions, it's just gray.  This is happening across all missions.  I'm also noticing some missing textures (i.e. those generic gray squares with the glowing white outline, probably related).  I'm looking at the jaconfig and jampconfig and r_fastsky is set to 0 so that isn't the problem.  Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it?  Thanks.

[Mister_TSquared]

Hey there.  I want to bring in new models and skins to my copy of Movie Duels.  It looks like the filepaths for the models and skins are the same as in the stock Jedi Academy, but how do I create thumbnails in the character selection screen to make my new models/skins selectable?  Thanks.

[matiasfett]

I'm trying to learn and see if there is a chance that I can add a new starkiller skin to the mod and have the moves that humanoid_galen has.

[Tompa9]

Happy New Year! It's been a long time, but we're back with a new update!

Although we hadn't originally planned it, this version ends up being a big full patch called Update 6. We added so many new things, not just bugfixes, during its development that we ended up waiting a whole year before releasing it. We really hope you will enjoy this update, because we have invested a lot of our time, effort and sometimes nerves into it.

Update 6 has arrived to start the new year with new content and features such as new and updated missions, combat improvements, and bug fixes! Tales of the Galaxy: Season 1 is also now available allowing you to play the duels from Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

///NPCs\\\
Adjusted many NPC files to include lower yawSpeed values (mainly gunners like Battledroids and Clones, especially Snipers).
Adjusted stats for many NPCs so lots of Jedi/Sith in JKA mode aren't jumping around nearly as much or doing cartwheels.
Adjusted several NPCs to have shorter skin paths via removing "_default" from their names, to reduce possible MAX_QPATH overflows if the player swapped their playermodel to one with a long internal skin name.

These look great. Very nostalgic too, may have to replay KOTOR yet again. Based on the very even lighting, are these character stills taken from ModView? I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like with lighting and shader work.

Would you be willing to release the Jedi Knight and Sith Student outfits as a skin pack for vanilla JKA?

Absolutely. I replayed both in early 2022, but this giving me the itch to do it again already. They still hold up.

That's just amazing announcement! I'm so eager to see all those maps and models you've prepared for us. It also gives me an idea of where you plan to put that Ajunta Pall model   All the best to this team and project!
