Jedi Outcast comes to Xbox Backwards Compatibility
This doesn't really pertain to our core community here, since the majority of you are PC players, but this is some welcome news. Yesterday Microsoft relaunched their backwards compatibility program with a whopping 70 new titles after putting it on hold during the Series X|S transition. One of the first games on the list is our beloved Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. This is particularly important because Jedi Academy was already backwards compatible, but also that both games got re-released on PS4 and Switch and were left out on Xbox. It was assumed it was due to Jedi Outcast being added to backwards compatibility later down the line but we had no proof of this.

Physical bundles for console versions
Circa posted an article in Community News,
Today, Aspyr Media announced two new bundles they are releasing in physical form for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4: the Jedi Knight Collection (Jedi Outcast and Academy) and the Racer and Commando Combo (Star Wars Racer and Republic Commando). This is a partnership with THQ Nordic, which I assume is for the physical media production and distribution portion. This comes over a year and a half after Jedi Academy released on Switch and PS4 digitally, and two years after Outcast.

Boba Fett 2021
Mandalorian posted a file in Player Models,
This is a new Boba Fett model, made from a high quality model I made in Blender a while ago. It features four main appearances and two helmetless options.
The options are:
The Empire Strikes Back outfit
Return of the Jedi outfit
The Mandalorian battle damaged outfit from the episode "The Tragedy" (helmetless variant included)
The Mandalorian repainted outfit (helmetless variant included)
Feel free to use as you see fit, but please do not use them outside of Jedi Knight games without my permission.
This model is custom made in Blender and Substance Painter from scratch. They include vanilla textures and shaders as well as PBR variants for those who have more advanced renderers like rend2.

Costa Del Sol
SephFF posted a file in Free For All,
SUMMER MOD CONTEST 2021WINNER. Based off Final Fantasy 7 references to Costa del sol from the original game and Crisis Core. Also took influence from the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Some areas in this map are never seen in any version of the Final Fantasy games so that’s where I took some creative liberties. Couple picks ups to be found and some jump challenges for strafers. Map is also fun to fly on or other events.

KOTOR remake officially coming to PC and PS5
Circa posted a topic in Star Wars Franchise Discussions,
It's coming to PC and PS5 at launch, with Xbox and maybe Switch later. They are making this from the ground up, while also respecting and taking inspiration from the original. They assembled a brand new team of AAA industry veterans just for this game, including those from the original KOTOR team from 2003 BioWare.

Post in ZelZel's Archive
ZelZel posted a post in a topic,
Probably one of my most favorite moments in the Anakin vs Obi-wan fight; when they both jump on the small beam. Such a cool scene, so I decided to try and recreate it in blender with JKA models. 🙂

Alien Heads Resource
Mandalorian posted a file in Player Models,
This is a set of Alien heads I made for modders to use in their projects.
Mainly to replace ported assets and some of the aliens that haven't been created already from the cantina scene in A New Hope.
these heads are all on a weequay model as a base to work from, it is not intended as a final finished model,
rather a asset for modders.
they include both vanilla shaders and textures as well as PBR for more advanced renders like REND2.
Feel free to use as you see fit, but please do not use them outside of Jedi Knight games without my permission.

SephFF's WIP
SephFF posted a topic in WIPs, Teasers & Releases,
This map you see are all subject to change. I am a relatively new mapper. I do have a minor in game design that I completed at the Savanah College of art and design so I was able to pick up on JKA mapping in a timely manner. So far I been working on this map since about October last year. In December I had multiple people play test an alpha version and I will soon have the beta ready for testing.
The original idea of this map was to be used for JAWA league. It is designed to be able to host a very wide range of events and activities. However I also wanted this map to be a sorts of a playground. Fun to explore and try different challenges in the map. The map is a strafer/snipers haven but also great for merc and enough room to fly some ships around in. So I been slowly polling ideas from the community in general and trying to learn as much as I can. I am full open to all ideas/complaints you may have so please to hold back against me. As soon as I can release a beta ill be sure to update this as I go.
Current features:
Weapons placed
Health pick ups placed
FFA spawn points
One Tie-fighter spawner (1 min timer)
Working elevators in other areas, not (main building)
Seph tears
Map transition cam
Working doors
Main hangar door if open will stay open unless you close it, the others close on their own.
Custom skybox
Vertex alpha blended terrain
Few tested/working jumps with jump slope shoots for fun
Heres a list of things that still needs done:
1: Main building rebuilt/textured/detailed (being rebuilt so -vis, or basically only things that should render are being rendered for optimized FPS in duel tournaments)
2: Update admin room
3: Script the F̵̢͔̦͎̮̺̯͕̠͇͈̪̺̽̏͂̈͗̐̊̏̋͛͜͝͝Ų̵̨̪̠͚͈͈͕͙͕̤̤̤̋̿̉͆̒͐͑̓͘̕͘C̵̨͒̃͐͛́̋̈́͘͠K̸̘͔̅̈́̿̽̒̒̈́̊̋̓̉̓̋͝I̸̛͈͉̓̀͌̊͌̊́̑̊̿̌͋̉͝Ñ̵͉̗̰͜G̵̛̠̦̘̮̪̿́ͅ elevator (I hate scripting) what I am trying to script is not easy.
4: Finish secret reward areas
5: bot routes/TFFA spawns
6: Test and add some more strafe jumps
7: (I'm gonna TRY to do this) Horizon blend map to look seamless to skybox.
8: Employ testers to test map again since so much as been added.
9: Improve lighting

YT-2000e transport freighter
zidzabre posted a file in Free For All,
I was approached by a JKA player named DarthValeria about making a map for his Machinima project.
He wanted a YT-2000 Freighter.
I went ahead and built this map using the YT-2000 Freighter as basis, and drew some inspiration from Sith-J-Cull's Falcon.
No weapons added or items, Map supports Duel and casual FFA, but mostly designed with Roleplay in mind.
Source file for map: yt2000e_source.map (Included inside PK3)
Feel free to use this map for your own purposes, no credit needed but is appreciated.
BSP/Map name: yt2000e
Creator: ZidZabre

Botroutes: Yes

Jedi Knight CAT Rig for 3ds Max 2013+
AshuraDX posted a file in Utilities,
This is something that I've been working on since like 2017. But I finally got around to rebuilding this thing for the third time - this time properly and with all bones for Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast and even Soldier of Fortune 2.
Most of you are probably like "What the Hell is this?", so let me explain:
What is CAT and what can I do with it?
CAT Is a very versatile Rigging and Animation System for 3ds Max. It allows you to quickly and comfortably make high quality Animations, after setting up a Rig that is equally quick to build. This Video (and this Channel in General) explain what CAT is and what it can do really well:
This rig comes in a 3ds max scene with the original Jedi Knight Game bones constrained to it. This means that when you move any part of the rig, the bones of the character move accordingly. It is also organized in layers and comes with a couple of useful premade selection sets to streamline animating and exporting your animations to the game.
How do I use it?
To export animations and get them ingame you will need the Jedi Academy SDK Repack and the dotXSI Exporter for your version of 3ds max. (I linked the exporter for 3ds max 2021 underneath - check the authors other uploads for alternate versions)
When CAN I use it?
The file has already been uploaded and approved here on JKHub and I hope to get a tutorial written up and recorded until next weekend. WC3Tutorial from the JKCommunity Discord, who has been Alpha-Testing the initial Version of the Rig heavily, might beat me to recording a tutorial - if that happens I'll link it here. I'd be happy to hear any questions you might have upfront that might help make the tutorial better and easier to understand.
If you fancy messing around with this rig before the tutorial is up - don't be shy to reach out to WC3Tutorial or me on the JK Community Discord #modding channel.
