  1. Do you have dedicated graphics? Your PC may have switched to onboard graphics for some reason. Make sure your graphics card driver is updated and maybe try a reboot.
  2. To clarify, @Asgarath83 is talking about editing the code directly, not simply putting values into an cfg file. You need to fork OpenJK or whatever mod you are going to be using, assuming it’s open source, and edit what he references above. If you have no prior knowledge of this, it’s probably best to learn basics of how programming works first.
  3. That second one is probably the best one, imo. Been using it for years.
  4. That Zorii Bliss is amazing, nice work. Would love to see it submitted to the files section unless it has ported meshes.
  5. I think it's pretty reasonable to find elements in the SW universe that are stronger or at least can resist lightsabers a bit, however I think they should always have a limit in terms of plot. In the EU, cortosis was such a cop-out way to make a character hold their own against a Jedi/Sith. That's the one thing I dislike about KOTOR, is all the vibroblades. In canon, I think they have done a decent job of not overusing anything that resists sabers...yet. We'll see how these next few episodes of the Mandalorian go. I don't mind beskar being resistant, but maybe have a very limited life span when being hit by them, rather than be completely equal to them.
  6. True. Perhaps the suits at Lucasfilm and now Disney would argue that it's in the title of the franchise: Star Wars, which means it needs to be centered around war of some kind to live up to their expectation. Fans know that isn't the case but that's a somewhat valid case to be made I suppose.
  7. I'll move this thread to Coding & Scripts in case someone wants to take a look for you.
  8. Very true. I wish they had made Nihilus a bit more of a main villain to fear, after hearing how powerful he really was, defeating him was so simple and anticlimactic. I think that's why I like KOTOR2 so much. I tend to like the smaller, more relatable stories rather than the big galactic war. That's why I love the Mandalorian show so much as well. But for games, especially RPG's, it lets you connect with your character even more when your mission and storyline is personal and close to home.
  9. That would involve editing the code itself, so not just a matter of editing PK3 files. I don't think I've played a mod that does what you say, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Lugormod or Makermod or something alone those lines. They had some pretty wacky things like that IIRC. Maybe someone else knows more.
  10. @Swolo_Ben I merged your thread with Punisher’s, simply to keep things relevant and maybe help others with the same question.
  11. Wow. This episode was amazing, definitely my favorite of the season so far. I was super worried about seeing Ahsoka in live action and casting who they did, but it ended up being great. I found it interesting that they made her look like she did in season 7 of the Clone Wars rather than Rebels. She should have longer horns and lekku technically, but looking past that, it was good. Seeing her fight with her dual white sabers was insane. Glad we finally got the name for the child. It was getting a little absurd how long we went without knowing it. It's a good name too, fits the Yoda-esque. The fact that she name-drops both Thrawn and Tython was very unexpected but very exciting! That means there's a chance we could see some Heir to the Empire sort of story beats. And Tython! Really hope it looks similar to how it does in SWTOR. I think it was the best part of that game, it really captured the perfect essence of the ancient Jedi. I wonder what it'll look like in the show.
  12. Agreed. KOTOR 2 is one of the most grounded and gritty feeling Star Wars games. I think the biggest leap was Nihilus being able to consume entire worlds with the Force, but we didn’t get to see that power in action, just hear about it. Everything else was about mind games, investigating, and betrayal. It’s a shame the game wasn’t technically finished, but it’s still one of my favorite games of all time next to the first game. I actually prefer to play it without the restored content mod simply because I played it that way so many times growing up, but I do love it either way.
  13. Wow. I did not think I'd see this project see the light of day. Not because of you, but because we rarely see projects like this make it past the first step these days. This is really amazing. Might have to update my old Prequel Conversion Mod with this model!
  14. Mandalorian contest is live! See news post. :mando:

  15. As we kick off the new Mandalorian contest and as season 2 is airing, I figured we'd have something about it in the poll as well. What is your favorite thing about it? It has a lot going for it, and these options aren't necessarily all I could list. If I missed something you love about it, comment below. If you haven't taken the plunge into this show and you are a Star Wars fan, I highly recommend it. Even if none of the new Star Wars movies did it for you, I think this show is made specifically with you in mind. They're doing it right. If you don't want to pay a month to watch it, find another way! ? It's worth it though. Subscribe to Disney+ for a month, binge it, then cancel. Easy. ? Use this thread to discuss this poll question, but if you want any more deep discussion on the show, head over to the main thread here.
  16. Modding is a complicated profession. I don't like doing contests this close together, but this one was requested a lot too and it's probably best to start it now while the show is airing and hype is strongest. You'll have more time than ever to work on this contest, so I better see a ton of participants! The hit new Star Wars television series, The Mandalorian, has taken the world by storm in popularity and as Star Wars fans here at JKHub, naturally taken us as well. As usual, new official Star Wars content comes out and the modders race to adapt characters, locations, and weapons into our favorite games Jedi Outcast and Academy. Though activity is undoubtedly at an all time low this year around here, that doesn't mean people aren't hard at work on their various projects. There have already been a handful of cool Mando-related mods made after last year's debut of the show. This contest is just like the others. Create your own mods for either JK2 or JKA that have something to do with The Mandalorian, any season. It can be maps, models, skins, animations, mini-mods, etc. If it goes in our Files section, it can be submitted. That also means no ported content allowed, of course. Here are the rules in bullet form, as per tradition. Rules: All submissions must be related the The Mandalorian series. You can only enter your own creations. You may team up with another modder. Any external content you did not make must be explicitly referenced in the description and readme file. You may enter more than one file. You may enter files that were created previous to this contest, as long as they abide by the rules. Any content is welcome, including skins, models, maps, weapons, menu mods, etc. Just make sure it abides by the rules. Files can be for Jedi Academy and/or Jedi Outcast. We will assume files are for JKA unless specified otherwise. If a large number of mods are submitted, more than one winner may be chosen. The deadline for submitting content is February 1, 2021, after which a poll will be opened. The poll will be closed by the morning of February 6, 2021. Awards We are still waiting on a few things to have the awards system built into the forum software. I don't expect it to be there even by the time this contest is done, and I really apologize for that. I will do what I can to maybe come up with some temporary alternative in the meantime. I think having a badge on your profile for contest winners would be really cool, and I'm sure y'all would agree. Once it's implemented though, all previous contest winners will get their respective award, so don't worry. How do I submit my mod? Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for everyone involved. The way you submit your file for this contest is to upload them as normal files in our file section, but using the category called Contest Entries. Click the button below, and submit your mod as you normally would. The category should be set to The Mandalorian Contest already. If you don't enter it there, your file won't be entered until you do. If you realize that you didn't do that, PM a staff member and we can change it for you. Good luck and happy hunting!

  18. I think spoiler tags can be avoided, I have put a warning at the top so people know that this topic will contain spoilers. Will make it easier for us to read going forward. Very true, although Krayt dragons were a thing before KOTOR, seen and heard (sorta) in ANH, but I get what you mean. The whole plot of that episode was clearly KOTOR inspired. We'll see!
  19. Pretty good episode! That would be very interesting. Implementing Dark Troopers would be crazy. I'm excited to see what happens with that. We have to keep our expectations for that low though, especially with Kyle. There's a good chance they won't be using the Kyle Katarn name. I will be shocked if they do, but a lot of this show has shocked me, so who knows.
  20. Sounds like a very simple skin file issue. I recommend reading up on basics of skins before jumping straight into frankensteining models in Blender, assuming that's what you meant.
  21. Elite Dangerous is free on Epic right now: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/free-games
  22. SWTOR is definitely weak on the storytelling side, but I think that's partially because of how much they had to cram into it. I don't really use that as an excuse though, I think they could have focused less on rehashing previous plot points and focus more on original ones. They eventually did that well with the KOTFE and KOTET. Playing the launch content and even the 2 expansions after, then comparing to everything released after KOTFE, it's like they actually took their own game and writing skills seriously. There are still some great stuff in the launch content, but not a whole lot. I personally never considered SWTOR canon, even before the Disney takeover. They went a little crazy with a lot of the plots, where it just seems way too much like...well like a "legend" that kids grow up telling. Maybe some stuff happened, but were told with great exaggeration. If those things actually happened the way they did, the galaxy would have grown up learning it and nobody would bat an eye by the time the Death Star was made in the films' era. I view it as just a fun environment to play as your own character, go through some fun and exciting (sometimes boring) stories, play with friends, etc. It's definitely a fun game to play for that experience. I'm not an MMO fan at all either, so I play mostly alone (sometimes have a friend or two to do some missions with, but mostly solo) and they actually did a decent job of making it playable as a singleplayer RPG. Just makes me really want a new open world (or open galaxy, technically) Star Wars RPG though. That's literally what every SW fan wants. Just think of the money they'd make on such a thing.
