I recommend reading through the tutorials in our tutorial section that you posted to. https://jkhub.org/tutorials/mapping/ Specifically the Rich Diesal pages, as he explains basic stuff in a simple way. That's how I learned the basics of mapping. The site is super old looking because it was made when JK2 came out. https://jkhub.org/mapping/richdiesal/richdiesal.htm I also recommend joining the JKCommunity Discord if you have Discord, which will have people there that can help you when you get stuck more quickly.

What files? The whole MD folder should have all of the pk3 files that it came with. The MD-default.cfg is in the MD_Assets.pk3 file. It should just be as simple as moving the MD folder from the ZIP file you downloaded into the Gamedata folder. Make sure all of the MD pk3 files are in that MD folder.

Yes, though it is not a very smooth transition right now which is probably why it isn't default. You'll need to put this command in the console: cg_trueinvertsaber 1 I have no idea why the command is called that but it should do what you want, just with a slight stutter between switching from a weapon to the saber.

Movie Battles II and most conversion mods with their own clients have their own folder that sits alongside the base folder. So pk3's would go in that. As far as tutorials for modding it goes, they only have a couple differences, otherwise it's the same. Not a lot is discussed about MBII here, you are better off heading over to their forum if you have questions about their mod. https://community.moviebattles.org/

This is what it should look like. It makes the glow bigger and more full.

According to your screenshot, dynamic glow is disabled in the settings. It says so in the console. Keep in mind older integrated graphics don't support dynamic glow.

The first save of that mission. If none of those solutions work, I'm not sure what else to do to help. It worked for me. Sorry. Maybe someone else will know more.

So I had this problem on OpenJK, not JAEnhanced. I have no idea what causes it but my fix was start a new config. Go to Documents/My Games/JAEnhanced/jaenhanced/ and open jaenhanced_sp.cfg with Notepad. Scroll down past the lines that start with bind (these are your control key binds) and find the lines that start with seta. Delete every line that starts with seta. Save the file and launch the game. Downside is your graphics settings will be reset but this method you won't lose your binds. If that still doesn't work, you can try renaming it the file so it creates a whole new one. I recommend starting the mission over from the beginning when trying again. You will know it worked when you see this in the first main big room (NOT after you already went through and broke the things in your screenshot above): Instead of this:

Most people complain about these games being too easy, so this is kind of a rare request. If you're playing on Jedi Knight difficulty and wanting it easier, no shame in lowering that. No mods do what you want that I know of. Part of the charm of these games is the older gun play, so nobody has really looked into changing it, at least not for the base game. Gunslinger's Academy changed a lot of gun mechanics, and I believe JKGalaxies does as well but those are for Academy and are conversion mods so don't really apply here.

This isn’t a JAEnhanced exclusive bug, it happens in base JKA as well. The only solution is to restart the mission, don’t load a checkpoint or a quick save, start the first vjun2 save in your list. You could try using the command cam_disable and cam_enable but I doubt that will work.

After a lot of requests from the community since v1.1 came out last year, I went through and did my best to make more things optional, so if you want a more vanilla experience with some of the core improvements JAEnhanced has like widescreen, RGB SFX sabers, bug fixes, etc., you can now do that. All optional PK3's have been moved to an "Optional" folder which you can pick and choose which ones you want or don't want. By default they are all in that folder so they are disabled. List of optional features: New force powers • Force Insanity, Destruction, Repulse and Stasis have been added. Force Repulse is gained automatically during the SP campaign. Bind the keys in the Controls menu. NPCs can use Destruction and Stasis. For faster force regeneration, g_forceRegenTime has been brought over from MP. Improved jedi_hm • DT's very nice improved Human Male jedi is included with Jedi Robe options with RGB tinting features. Build Your Own Lightsaber • Now lightsabers can be customized like the player species. Example customizable hilts are included thanks to AshuraDX and Plasma.’ New lightsaber hilts from around the Star Wars universe, even the Expanded Universe and new canon, all thanks to Plasma’s lightsaber pack. Improved effects • also known as "UltimateWeapons", this is a must-have to create a more authentic Star Wars atmosphere Included HapSlash’s improved stormtrooper model • because the default one is atrocious. Included Toshi’s Luke model • because of same reason as above Included AshuraDX’s high quality DL-44 model • because it is beautiful A small change was also made to the Minimal dismemberment setting to be g_dismemberment 0 rather than 2. Keep in mind you MUST have zZZ_jaenhanced.pk3, that one is not optional. 1.2 is a small update but hopefully this makes some players happy that didn't want too much of the bloat that we added as part of this project but like the core features. Please let me know if you run into any issues after this update. I tested some key things but not everything. Download Jedi Academy: Enhanced

What is the exact error you get when trying to install the 2015 redist?

That is my personal model I made for myself. I hadn’t planned on releasing it but I won’t say I never will I suppose.

Do you actually need it for OpenJK? Is it giving the missing DLL error? That’s the only time you need to install the VS 2015. I’ve been running Windows 11 for over a year now and haven’t had an issue.

Without editing the mod itself, you can use commands that work like so: Or you can learn to edit the mod to put it in the menu with tutorials like this:

The way I did it for the prequel music mod was just did my best to find parts of tracks that could stand out or be used as exploration or action parts. It's more work but it turned out okay. I made that mod over a decade ago so I'm sure I could do much better now but it works pretty well. https://circa.im/files/jka/PrequelMusicReplacement.zip

Over the last year, I've been working on building a podcast talking about gaming, movies, tv, etc. It has been a slow process getting a backlog started, while also planning ahead for super cool stuff. Though the podcast and YouTube channel isn't Jedi Academy-specific, since this game is such a big part of my life I can't help but talk about it when I can, especially during it's 20th anniversary year. This episode I had the privilege of having @Link join me as a guest, and we basically just talk about Jedi Academy, our first memories, jk3files, JKHub, running clans, and how it effected their lives in general. It was a lot of fun, and we'd really appreciate you talking a look. If you like what you see/hear then consider subscribing to us on YouTube, or on Spotify, or anywhere else that has podcasts, as we do have more Jedi Academy related things planned as this 20th anniversary continues on! Stay tuned! If you aren't a fan of podcasts or just don't have time, you can also check out the short clip on Reddit to give you a little taste. amongthenoise.com Subscribe on YouTube Follow on Spotify Also, if you haven't checked out @Link's video "A love letter to Jedi Academy" - you definitely should! Thanks to any support and time given, we greatly appreciate it and hope you enjoy. View full article

Every time I see screenshots of your maps they blow me away. I can't wait to check this mod out.

Bot routes are pretty easy to make without even editing the map. Just takes a few commands and walking around the map adding the waypoints. Here’s the tutorial.

Why do you need so many NPC mods if you're just playing through the SP missions? Are you actually spawning them as you go along? It is best to avoid adding additional NPCs unless you plan on actually using them while playing SP for this reason. Otherwise just open up the PK3 files with Pakscape and delete the mod's NPC files that you don't plan on using.

OpenJK adds support for it by default, so it's just a feature carried over. Though I'm quite certain JAEnhanced doesn't ship with them, I don't really see the problem with that when the JAEnhanced pk3 is only really meant for JAEnhanced and is run from it's own mod folder to avoid messing with the base install. Sounds like he has another pk3 that has it in his base folder.
