File Name and Version: Palpatine (Re)Skin Pack (1.0)
Release Date: 2015.
Filesize: 11mo
Description:
This Skin Pack is composed of all versions of Palpatine/Darth Sidious/The Emperor you'll see in the 7 Star Wars movies he appears. The only skins I didn't made are holo skins. I took Toshi Palpatine and ViceK Emperor and I made Palpatine from Episode I (I saw that nobody
ever did it), from Episode II, from Episode III (including normal, sith, sith-hooded and senate version), Darth Sidious from the Republican Trilogy (Prelogy) and of course The Emperor from Episode VI. In some skins, I made complete reskin and recoloring (like Episode I, II, III), but in some others
the difference is just a different color, more detail (the big hole in Sidious forehead is now a bit deeper) and minor changes.

2019 UPDATE : Episode IX Palpatine is now in the skin pack ! Including his first and final forms !
Of course, It's a little contribution, because all the glory belongs to the modelers, but I took time to offer you this first version of a complete Palpy skin pack.
Hope you'll enjoy it !

/model Palpatine/default_ep1 (The Senator Palpatine From Episode I)
/model Palpatine/default_ep2 (The Supreme Chancellor Palpatine From Episode II)
/model Palpatine/default_ep3 (The Supreme Chancellor Palpatine From Episode III)
/model Palpatine/default_sith (Battle-damaged Sith Palpatine From Episode III)
/model Sidious/default_sidious (Darth Sidious from EpI,II,III)
/model Sidious/default_ep3 (Hooded Sith Palpatine From Episode III)
/model Sidious/default_senate (Senate Darth Sidious From Episode III)
/model Sidious/default_emperor (The Emperor From Episode VI)
/model Sidious/default_ep9 (The Emperor from Episode IX)
/model Sidious/default_ep9_end (Rejuvenated Palpatine from Episode IX)
 
Big thanks to Toshi Palpatine and ViceK Emperor (Episode 6) reskin, and may the force be with you !
 
And that's all folks !

(PLEASE READ THE IMPORTANT.TXT FILE IN THE .ZIP BEFORE PLAYING, AND PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE TWO LITTLE FILES UNDER THE CREDITS).
 
NOTE: EAXSOUND need to be activated for ROQ videos.
 
Epic Challenge Mod III is the third mod of my creation for SP.
 
"Darth Lawn (ECMI villain) raised from the grave and conquered the galaxy, using the Zone Of Trouble, an ancient and absurd Area full of portals which allow the user to travel around differents worlds in instant. Kyle Katarn must stop him, but he will not success alone...
 
With the help of Luke Skywalker, Lana and Duncan, will you be able to accomplish your destiny ?"
 
 
 
This mod takes things in another level. I would say mapping has improved, game design also, and maps are a lot more various.
 
In this one, I created A LOT of new ennemies, sometimes 4 just for one map. I offer variety, different worlds, more than 32 maps to play (and replay ! "South Plain" is a central map which allow you to revisit some ancient maps, keeping your progress and update...), the possibility to get new powers (like metamorphosis on certains platforms), mind control and something new: you will not play only Kyle, but you will be able to play also Lana and Duncan, two invented characters.
 
Game is based from UbiSoft's underrated Tonic Trouble and from my mind.
 
There are some bugs and things to know, so READ THE IMPORTANT.TXT file before playing ! Trust me, it's important.
 
JUST NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THEM HERE:
- When you are a reborn you can't jump very high, so not forget to explore all secrets zones in Kyle. You'll understand.
- There is a bug in one map, you have a blue lightsaber instead of the violet one. The bug only occures in one map.
 
I would also say that I advice you to wait one second at least at every map begining because there are sometimes .roq cinematics.
 
Cinematics and voiceovers are not quite good, I admit it... it's more a test, because it's new, but I had fun making it, with the others persons who played the voices, so I think you'll find it funny... or akwardly fun...
 
The secrets are not like ECMI and ECMII. In this one, you'll find "E" letters, from "Epic Challenge Mod". Every time you found one, just screen it, send me it on JKHUb (personnal message) and say how you found it. Every time you do this you'll get points. "Blue E" are 5pts, "red E" 10pts and "green E" 50pts.
 
There are only three green E in the mod. If you found them, very good !
 
NOTE: If a "E" color change, it means it's a new "E" and you can screen it again.
 
 
 
So enjoy it, and may the force be with you !!!
 
TO INSTALL THE MOD,
extract all files in your game directory (LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/gamedata/)
 
Make sure you put all files and folders in gamedata. You must have ECMIII pk3 in "gamedata/ECMIII"
 
I HIGHLY recommand you to make an empty copy of JKA before playing my mod, because it is huge and adapted to an empty basegame. I can't assure you it will work if you have 137 .pk3 in your base/ folder...
 
This is only compatible with Windows.
 
You need all ECMIII gamedata files to not get an error. So not forget to make a copy of your gamedata folder before overwriting it with my files.
 
TO PLAY WITH CORRECT LIGHTSABERS (FOR ENNEMIES), PLEASE DOWNLAOD THESE TWO LITTLE FILES:
 
https://jkhub.org/files/file/28-beer-on-a-stick/
https://jkhub.org/files/file/2214-kylo-rens-lightaber-adx/
 
TWO TEASERS OF THE MOD:
 

 

In this download page, you will find Epic Challenge Mod III: Zone Of Trouble first teaser, link on youtube.
 
In the .pk3, you will find a wallpaper of the mod and a skin from villains of the mods. This is the Vinegar Sith Skin.
 
 
Vinegar Sith are evil, they live in a dark and scary place called "Vinegar Sith HQ".
 
 
 
 
EPIC CHALLENGE MOD III: Zone Of Trouble plot:
 
- Darth Lawn reborn. From the grave, he wake up and made alliances with other basic dark guys. All jedi were attacked. Only Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker remains, with some
odd jedi. Kyle has been abandonned without powers and with only one gun in a far, far away island, and must escape to find the Zone Of Trouble, one zone which rely all places of the planet of the mod.

Description with installation instructions:
 
 
 
THE PLOT:
 
I always loved awesome movies plots. So, I decided to don't make a plot, because this one doesn't deserve a plot.
The Destroyer is a bad guy, I mean, a REAL bad guy (you see he has a red lightsaber... when I say bad guy...). Kyle Katarn,
who killed Darth Lawn in his islands some months ago, is now drinking on a beach, and absolutly not giving a f*** about the galaxy.
But when two strange hooded guys try to kill him, he knows he MUST do something. To Join the secret lair of The Destroyer, Kyle
will have to get 4 crystals which are hidden in 4 sanctuaries, one per element. To find his way, he'll travel around the swamps,
the coast, the skies and the dark ways. A total of more than 50 maps with new ennemies, musics, textures, landscapes.
Hours to play, and a difficulty which really INCREASE. All is playable, because I played all with my girlfriend (yes, the same
I forced to play the first one, but she's still alive, don't panic).
 
And well, the new secrets... this time, no need to find boring keys, you'll simply have to find secrets zones which lead you to
 
secrets maps, one per environnement (environnement is composed of 5 maps between the sanctuaries, the fifth map is always a boss).
In theses secrets levels, you'll get a code, which notice you to use it in a specifical level. One little thing I can say, don't
forget to add " 90" after the code. Without that, It won't work.
 
The map is based of Rayman II: The Great Escape, and It is an old platform game mapping style. Because I assume I'm not a living god
in mapping, but just a decent mapper with a passion for mods with sith and secrets.
 
Nooowwwwwwww... TEASER (With beautiful Pillarbox, before I learn how to do a video correctly):

File Name and Version: Exiled Castle (1.0)
Release Date: 2015.
Filesize: 39,4mo
Description: Exiled Castle is a FFA map which contains an entire castle with a lot of rooms and secrets rooms...
 
The map is composed by a huge tower which allow you to enter a lot of rooms.
 
 
The Exiled Castle is an old abandonned Castle which was the Domain of an ancient Cast of Warriors, the Exiled. It is a very dark temple with a lot of secrets and Force. It is also a sort of home.
 
- Ground Floor: This is the way to the exterrior.
 
- 1st Floor: This is the command center.
 
- 2nd Floor: This place is dedicated to the Water Element.
 
- 3rd Floor: This is a little dark kitchen with a fridge and an oven.
 
- 4th Floor: This place is dedicated to the Stone Element.
 
- 5th Floor: This is the ceremonial hall with a huge table and a lot of chairs.
 
- 6th Floor: Trainings rooms are at this floor. 4 Trainings Rooms: One for little fights, one for big fights, one for two fights,
and one for difficult fights. There also is a council chamber.
 
- 7th Floor: BedRooms.
 
- 8th Floor: This is the Bar.
 
- 9th Floor: This place is dedicated to the Fire Element.
 
- 10th Floor: This is the portraits room.
 
- 11th Floor: This place is dedicated to the Air Element.
 
- 12th Floor: HAHA!
 
 
And for sure, there is more than 10 secrets rooms to find. I love this map for specials gametypes, like Hide-&-kill.
 
 
BUGS: Yes, there are textures bugs, especially on the corridors, however I don't know why, but I decided to keep them. They
give this map a strange and unrealistic aspect I love. There are also bugs I didn't notice I think of course... By the way,
Have Fun on my map !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
PS: "You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow."

File Name and Version: Epic Challenge Mod (1.0)
Release Date: 2013-2014.
Filesize: 230mo
Description:
 
First of all, I would not call myself a real badass mapper or a true genius of modding. I'm simply a man with a passion for Star Wars and Jedi Academy, and who decided to create a mod, graphicaly based on the old adventure game Croc: Legend Of The Gobbos.
 
This mod is a Challenge for every single player of this game, to test his abilities, experience, strenght, capacity to find secrets zones etc...
 
The mission:
 
The Jedi Academy don't know what to do. All the jedi are in missions and when a Sith Warrior decided to invade 4 islands with
his army, only Kyle Katarn is here to stop him. Fight more than one hundred or thousand sith in four differents islands.
Total of more than 40 maps, a lot of hours and secrets.
 
I would say that the environnements are not really like Star Wars. It is a mix between adventure, FPS and platform.
 
The maps are divided into classes:
 
- 2 normals maps with normals ennemies.
- 1 normal map with 3 keys. If you find the 3 keys, don't go to the arrow which mark the end of the level but find a door with
3 security panels. You'll surely find something secret.
- 1 boss level...
 
and etc...
 
An island is composed of 8 maps without the secret ones. There are four Islands.
 
The goal of this mod is of course, not to cheat. So forget GodMode or other cheats. You play like a jedi, not a cow. Some players decided to film the adventure to prove me they don't cheat. Not necessary, but I like to see someone playing my game.
 
 
Now something interesting: the Mod Trailer:
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AZmhlZ1bK0
 
And sorry for ALL the faults and mistakes I made in your beautiful language, I don't speak English, of course. Not very well.
 
May the force be with you !
