The pack was removed because it contained ported material. We no longer allow files with that content in our file section, especially to avoid legal problems. However, they can still be shared in the forum.

You should contact Kualan, the author of that pack, and ask him if he has that model pack.

A Jedi Academy version would not only be interesting, but it could make the best of the potential this mod has. This game is more focused on acrobatics and lightsaber combat than Jedi Outcast, so it would be fitting.

@tinny, here are some suggestions:

• Make the slow motion feature the game has optional. With that, I mean the one that occurs during the advanced force jump (the one that makes you jump further).
• Get rid of the panning camera during that advanced force jump and during the kung fu fights.

They're called "Sith Jedi Statues" https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sith_Jedi_Statue

@Untold Prophecy, I hope it's okay I changed the topic's title.

Here's an idea for one see what you think. I want to edit the model a bit but this is the general idea.

If you need inspiration, I suggest you google the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.

@bigphil2695

If it's something that requires precision, maybe you should give Substance Painter a try.

Some of our content creators here are already using it for years. You may contact AshuraDX if you need help.

@Hartsinck

Moved your topic to the Modding Assistance section. I also added your image into the post, so everyone can see it directly.

he wanted 200k views of his video on YouTube, that showed where he live

I must correct you there: He wanted the 200k views for the 30 minute Ultimate Trailer. I remember how people went nuts over it, and they shared the video with anyone possible. Once the viewer count was reached, everyone got super excited - for a good reason, because after all, he said that once the video hits the mark, he would release the mod. But he then accused his fans that they cheated in order to get the counter up. This was yet another moment were everyone started throwing tomatoes at him. Nevertheless, I still had the faith that everything was not as bad as it seemed. I had this feeling years before, and I maintained it at that time.

While the idea of making source files more accessible to the community isn't bad, I think it should be up to the authors. I can understand if many of them are not willing to do that, because they've already spent so much of their spare time making something.

Technically, playermodels, weapons and props already are already source files. The model files can be opened with Blender, while the textures can be edited with any image editing software. In other words, anyone has easy access to those files. And if the original author has permitted the free modification of those files, anyone can get to work straight away. Once you know how to work with both, anything else is straightforward.

It's a completely different thing with maps. In most cases, they have to be decompiled in order to access the source files, with the downside of having the textures scrambled and losing several scripts. Only very few authors have released the source files for their own maps. But at least we have some source files, such as the ones that come with GtkRadiant.

I think that releasing source files is better for huge mods, such as total conversions. You've already mentioned the original KotF made by Timfx, which is one example. He really missed an opportunity, because instead of releasing the required source files for the mod, he flushed all the files down the toilet. He may have had his reasons, but if you think about how much that mod was anticipated in the community, it was a dumb decision.

I think that's enough images and links, @Dart Vader. Maybe you should leave it that way. At the moment, it seems that nobody has any interest in doing it.

But we have several people here who are specialised in porting models. DM them and ask politely if they could port it for you.

@Doughnuts

It looks really good already. I'm looking forward to see the finished version.

This makes me itch for a Jedi Outcast remaster. Better yet, a remake. 

I know that one fan has attempted to remake the game on a modern engine, until the project was shut down. But now that Lucasfilm Games is revived, I think that a Jedi Outcast remake isn't that unlikely anymore.

I would like to see some OT characters remade by Dough. For example we are still lacking proper quality Han Solo, Leia, Luke, Old Ben... most of the better models are just ports.

Luke has been remade already by Toshi, albeit only his ROTJ appearance. It looks decent and way better than the ones we got with Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. His ANH and ESB versions on the other hand are all ports or kitbashes.

Interesting, I don't think I ever knew about this. Can you please send me the model file? I should be able to rig this to work in game and add some improvements to the textures and model.

EDIT: It may actually be as simple as remodelling and reskinning Luke's saber.

I don't know how to extract models from that game. That's why I had to do a screenshot of it.

If you have Republic Commando, just use editor included with the game (or any compatible tool). The model is located in assault_carl.usx and is named ras_lightsaberAA.

Also, I'm not looking for a ported model to be used in Jedi Academy. This topic was all about collecting references, just in case somebody wants to do that lightsaber from scratch. I was more interested in a higher quality version. A remake to be precise.

If you manage to get better references than I provided, you can add them in this topic.

In 'Republic Commando', a lightsaber can be found in one level. I think nobody has ever done that one before.

It's the only good image I could find that shows the lightsaber completely.

Also, before you mention it: This isn't supposed to be Luke's lightsaber. It looks similar, but some details make the difference very clear.

Could this lightsaber be something for you, @Doughnuts?

I dont like it.

Graphically it is amazing.  It looks fun as well. But i dunno gameplay is just so bland.

 

The only weakness the game has is the campaign. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I think it could've been better. But I really loved the details they put in the characters, the maps, the weapons and the vehicles.

As for the multiplayer mode, I was surprised how awesome it is. Out of all the games I have that contain multiplayer modes, this is the one I've spent the most time playing. I especially enjoyed the space battles, which was definitely the best flight experience I've ever had in a Star Wars game. The ground battles were also really good to play.

This game is definitely a vast improvement towards EA's first Battlefront, that's for certain.

Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition will be available for free from 14.1. to 21.1.

I recommended this post here, so it's easier to find the download links. Also, I merged the two topics to have everything in one place.

YES!!! I meant to upload it here to but your upload system keeps 5050'ing. If you need any thing from me let me know! Id say use the Demo trailer as the screenies or w/e.
Let me know that way I can take it off my cloud!

 

The file is up now.  You should be able to update it with whatever content you want.

@AngelModder

Just downloaded the map. I'm going to test it soon.

Would you mind that we put this map in the JKHub file section? That way, your work will be easily available for everyone. 

@fullkevlar

Moved the topic to the JKHub Tech Support section.

I also have that problem now and then. But like Jeff said, refreshing the page helps.

How did I notice that topic just now? The UI looks great.

@Stylencer

I fixed your link to make it easily accessible. Could you also post some images here? Because that would give others a straightforward look at your work without having to click through folders.

I had no idea that the team was working not just on recreating iconic duels, but what could also be regarded as the definitive Star Wars mod for Jedi Academy. The title "Movie Duels" makes this mod appear smaller than it actually is. Once it's out, I'm downloading it.

Moved your topic to the request section. Please post your next requests there.

@Protege

I think somebody has already made this one.

can someone please direct me to a dark stalker skin/model that can be used in mp with the file name PLEAAAASE..

You mean this one?

If you are looking for more specific models, just take a look at the file section of this site.

I moved your topic to the General Modding Discussions section.

Take a look at this tutorial:
