Okay, that's good. It may be one picture, but at least it shows that you are actually working on something.

Maybe you should start small before you get to work on a big mod. Anything else is crazy, especially if you are literally the only one working on this project. Just take the map that you put the most effort in, finish it up (it doesn't have to be perfect) and show us the results. Who knows, maybe it will inspire others to join and help you out.

I got one right here do I drag it from file explorer

You need an image hoster, like this one https://imgbb.com/, and upload the image in there. Once that's done, you must copy and paste the link to the image and post it here.

@ClanKryze511

May I ask if you can post some screenshots of what you have done so far? It could help others to get a better look at your project.

@dizzlesdj

Could be an issue with the language setting. If you haven't already, try to set the game text to English, as this is the only language that is currently supported.

@ClanKryze511

I understand that you want to make a mod, which is actually a good thing. But looking at this thread, all I see is just ideas and no actual mod material. Sure, if enough people would take part in it, you could have so much more than that. A mod this ambitious is done with a dedicated team, not by a single person.

From what I understand, you're currently trying to work on this alone, right? If yes, that's a red flag, and you should better stop working on this mod before you put too much stress on you for no reason. Also:

and look I'm barely trying to not to get angry and stressed out right now between what @Tompa9 said yesterday to me an 18 year old and being stressed out about this argument that my mom and aunt and uncle (who are my mom's brother and sister) about our pieces of house land after my grandmother died. so I got a lot on on my plate here.

This is another sign that there are much more important things than creating a mod. Trust me, you don't want to get stressed. So many modders have abandoned mods, or even left the community, because too much stress has built up on them. This isn't worth it.

@Circa

It has always looked that way in the original video. Apart from the enhancement, nothing was changed there. Yes, 4K would be way too much, but it's just for testing purposes.

Also, here's something interesting: In both games, the cutscenes have a rather bad quality. They not only have artifacts, but also black bars. However, the cutscenes of the Gamecube version of Jedi Outcast is actually superior to the PC version! They have no black bars at all and the picture is much clearer. I was able to extract those files with the file explorer of the Dolphin Emulator (for that, I made a backup of my own legal copy of that version), and I used some of them for the upscaling process. Which leads us to the next video:

That looks really good, wow. As far as supporting a higher resolution, I'm sure it's possible through the code. I assume you tried it already and it didn't work?

I haven't tried it yet, because of the complicity of converting something properly for the game. I just wanted to try the software's capabilities (Topaz Video Enhance AI). But if there's a way to actually get higher resolution videos working, maybe I could get more serious about this project.

Here's another attempt. It was supposed to be in 4K, but it was reduced to HD. Still, compared to the original resolution, it turned out impressive.

Jedi Academy - Cutscene #1 (HD, 60fps)

Another attempt at neural upscaling. This time, it's a full video! I used the LucasArts logo from Jedi Outcast.

Question: Is it possible to modify the game so it can support videos at a higher resolution?

My gf's macbook doesn't even have enough storage for this mod haha

If only the whole Mac compatibility problem for this mod could be solved just by adding more storage into your girlfriend's Macbook. But if you know someone who is good at programming stuff for Mac, and happens to have enough storage, the KotF team could add support for it again.

Many years ago, I started a translation of the game to portuguese but I never got to finish it at the time. Since then, I lost the files and never tried to start over. Now I've decided to do it again, but where at the time the text files were easily found, now I'm unable to find them. I'm looking at 'assets2.pk3', and inside the language folders I only find 'credits.str', 't3_bounty.str' and 'objectives.str' (the latter is missing in the 'english' folder).

Does anyone know where the rest of the files are located?

Thanks in advance.

The other files are located in 'assets0.pk3'.

I've found another Jedi Academy related website that I though was lost. Flash needs to be activated in order to see this website in its full glory.

JediMoves.com

It even had a download section, but since all character models were connected to FileFront (which is now GameFront), it's no longer possible to download them. Surprisingly, the files they offered in The Game section are still downloadable, but much of the content has probably become obsolete by now. Also interesting is the Scenes section, where they replicated moments from the films.

They also had a request section for characters, maps and vehicles. Maybe there are some that still need to be made? As the list was made ages ago, I will mark those that definitely are green.

My suggestion: Remove all the lines that I marked red, and keep those that are green. If it doesn't work, remove the autoexec entirely. It may be a pain to play the game in 16:9 with 4:3 resolutions, but at least it's not misalligned. In regards to 16:9 resolutions, there are enough mods that add support for it.

I didn't really modify anything, I added an autoexec.cfg file and put everything in there.

Nope, sorry Lance but that doesn't do anything. Even before modifying the game it still had this issue.

Got any other ideas?

Whenever I have problems like this one, I always do the following: cleaning the entire base folder from any mods, no matter if they are relevant or not. Sometimes it works, but if not, I uninstall the game, remove what is left in the Jedi Academy folder and reinstall the game (in my case, I do it through Steam). Once there is a clean installation, without any mods added, I try it again and see if it works. Then I put the mods back in the base folder, one by one.

I might be wrong, but I think this may be the reason:

I've set the game files to be in widescreen.

Which game files did you modify exactly? Because if you modified files from the base folder, it is possible that it affects other mods as well. I suggest that you should reinstall this game, but without modifying anything once it's installed, and see if the problem is still there.

Rianna Saren from SW: Lethal Alliance?:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eI2AMuN488

Her in-game model is dis-gust-ingly awful (she barely looks like a being) on both the PSP and DS, so figured you could do her better justice as a kitbash.

I actually wanted to defend the quality of the playermodel, because we're talking about handheld consoles that were released in 2004/2005, a time when it was really impressive to run 3D games on mobile consoles. But on the other hand, it's a Ubisoft game, so it doesn't surprise me that the characters don't look as good as in other DS/PSP games. Even Battlefront 2 for PSP looked better than this, which was released a year before Lethal Alliance.

Anyway, I think it would be interesting to see a recreation of the character. It shouldn't be a huge problem to use one of the existing Twi'lek models we already have and kitbash a decent looking model out of it.

@ClanKryze511, you should edit your post as well and remove these images. Even though Leaxhe has already deleted them, they still show up on your post. You only need to remove the quote containing these images.

this is not spoiler. leaked images published before movie

Of course it is a spoiler. Just because someone took some photos from the screen doesn't make the content automatically spoiler free.

For those who have already seen the movie, it's not a spoiler of course. But for those who haven't seen it yet, it is.

Hey guys I'm Pahri and I did some modding for this game like 10+ years ago.

Any experienced modellers around that are willing to point me to the best tools/plugins to use in almost 2020 ?

 

Specifically: I used 3DsMax in the past are there newer easier tools around and am I able to import .glm with weighting still intact?

As far as I know, several plugins have been made to work with newer 3DS Max versions. Just take a look at the utilities. Maybe there is something that may be interesting for you.

i have a problem with the launcher .

 when i try to installed the mod it does very slowly make it almost imposible to complete the installation like is 10 gb long make it 1 hour max to finish installing but it is broken  making the installation ethernal

i only want help to fix this error

 

That issue has been already discussed in this topic: https://jkhub.org/forums/topic/11449-launcher-installs-updates-incredibly-slowly/

Long story short: It's a server issue, and the team is trying to fix it.

@Linken

I've checked this, with the newest updater and with an older one (KotF_Launcher.8). In both cases, while the files are downloading, they're doing it very slowly.

Maybe it's not a problem with the launcher itself, but more of a server issue.

@dudevahkin

I guess you're new to the mod? If yes, be patient until the problem is solved (and besides, downloading issues don't equal the mod's quality). Once you get to download this mod, you'll see how much fun it is.

Oohhhhh! That! Yea man. Of course you can do that! Sorry I didn't catch that before!

That required 3 separate icon files, named:

1. "icon_default"
2. "icon_red"
3. "icon_blue"

These icons have to be saved where your default icon is saved, which is in the "base/models/players/<Your Model/Character/Project name>/".
In there you put your 3 icon files as listed above. If you've already got your icon_default set up, then you'll do fine with getting a red and blue version of it.

When you use your red and blue version of your character, the game will use the red/blue icon.

I think this is what you're looking for. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!

I think what he really means is adjusting the colour of a certain model in the selection menu, like you can do with the skin of a Twi'lek and certain parts on the clothing. Maui wants to add just that to his model.

Hi everyone,

thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I accidentally updated to Catalina so now my steam version of JK doesn't work. I found this website an the github page which seemed to suggest I could once again play JK on my updated mac. However, after following the instructions and moving the files to the 'contents' folder, I am greeted by this message:

"couldn't load default.cfg"

I have no idea how to solve this as I've followed all the steps very closely. I updated homebrew and everything. Please can someone help me? My childhood is slipping away. Thank you all. Kind regards_

My guess would be that the OpenJK version you have is not compatible with your current operating system. If that's the case, you either have to try the latest build or you have to wait until the compatibility is added to OpenJK.

But maybe it's just a reason I can't explain, as I don't have a Mac.

Thanks for your feedback Lancelot

 

The purpose of this mod is to use the full potential of the basic game's possibilities. Obviously it contains a menu to select a mission, one to select an MP map in SP to use the NPC Spawner for example, etc. There are in the new game menu.

There are new small features in all menus, you can also use the arrows on ingame menu to switch into camera, npc spawner, cheats menus. Look at the screenshots to see some examples... ^^

Try them all

Ah, I didn't notice the custom game menu. I just loaded an existing savegame and tested the menus. This is like a pocket version of Knights of the Force.
