I stand corrected! OJP was one of the most successful mega mods of all Jedi Academy history!

Welcome back to Jedi Academy! It certainly is the game that keeps on giving. I can't wait to see what you come up with! If you've got any practice with rigging, I have some models stuck in the pipeline to get into game, lol

I am happy to be "back."  However, my real life duties are going to keep my hands tied.  That said, I am in the midst of a multi-day combing of AI-generated sound files to try and replace the Reborn's annoying voices.  That's my first goal right there.  I've experimented with some skins as well.  We'll see what happens!

This is possible, but the replacement ship would need to be very close to the merc ship design as it is used in many maps (FFA3 for example). If you found anything close in shape I could convert it to md3. If FFA3 is what you want changed I can put any ship in that (or no ship) as I have the map for it. Btw Forcemod 3 is just awesome still play it after all these years.

Thanks for the offer.  Honestly, the ship that's closest to me in terms of the transports very boxy appearance is the storm trooper assault boarding craft that I already mentioned.  The X-Wing Upgrade Project has a splendid update to it.  I can't imagine mercs and pirates just using it "as is."  They'd most certainly give it a new and more intimidating paint job.  

Thank you for the warm remarks for ForceMod 3.  Azymn did the lion's share of the work.  I was happy to help him out in the capacity that I did.  Its multiplayer game play, even against the bots, was an absolute joy that felt very true to the films.  

People really are clueless as to how much hard work is involved in modding.  A lot of it is just mind numbingly boring, but it requires absolute precision.  The HOURS I put into properly scaling the bots!  Crazy to think about it.  

Yeah, Azymn achieved something special with FM3.  No question.

I'm currently getting back into JK modding.

20 years ago, I used to contribute a lot.  ForceMod 3, I spent HOURS adjusting the height scales for all of the bots.  Came up with SFX for the weapons, and play tested it all like a fiend.

The last mod that I had contributed to was 18 years ago.  OJP.  When it was a baby and no one was playing it.  I did some testing of it before I had to walk away as my daughter was born.

I'm excited to dip my toes back into the modding scene.  I want to come up with a decent set of Reborns, lol.  We'll see what happens.

Gah!  ZanderNao, your screenshots caused me to jump a bit in my seat.  

Ohhhhh to have a mega-mod that upgraded default JA with the best replacements possible!

Jeff, I'm just writing to say that I LOVE your work.

Astounding stuff.  Done with the utmost professionalism, commitment to quality, and all done with a passion for the craft that makes the hard work and time commitment a treasure to behold.

Thank you!

Hello All,

I've spent days searching high and low for a mod that swaps out the ugly Freelance cargo ship for almost anything else.  I've always hated the aesthetics of that ship, and at this point would be happy if it was swapped out with an oversized pink tricycle.

My search has thus far proven fruitless.

Are there any ship-swaps that would work out there that I don't know about?

In single-player, do the JK2Restoration files overwrite the New Reborn/Cultists and Boss Twins?

It sounds like GMRobinHood received a working version of his TFA First Order troopers replacements.

Is it possible to post it here, so that others could also apply it to their single-player games?
