Placing the .pk3 in your Jedi Outcast Base folder will increase all of the attributes of your npcs, but dramatically lower their health. Why? I felt the AI was lacking, but I also felt that if I were to shoot someone with a blaster, or slice them across the chest with a Lightsaber blade, they ought to die pretty darn quickly. For the best results, play through single player in Jedi Master mode. Try and get through it without cheating!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my map! Intending to polish off the construction of an old project, I wound up creating some extra modifications resulting in this update! Firstly, we no longer have the blocks that rise and fall with Push and Pull. Instead we have a gaping pit in the centre of the arena, so watch your step! I've sacrificed the secret area in this release. It may return in the future, or something entirely new may appear in its former place if I come back to it. Who knows! The music has also undergone a change. Bastila Shan's theme is no more! It has been replaced by a track from the Base assets, better suited for a duelling atmosphere. This also greatly reduces the file size for a friendlier download! The map also includes bot support, so if desired you may enjoy offline multiplayer without bots jumping about left, right and centre!
 
I've chosen to distribute this as a new file without overwriting the old one, just in case there are still those who prefer their duelling maps pit-less.
 
The map can be accessed by entering the following command: "/devmap mp/duel_custom1" or, via the menus under the Duel and Power Duel categories if you're playing a solo game.
 
Thanks for downloading. Don't forget to let me know what you think in the section below! If you experience any issues whilst using this map, please do not hesitate to drop me a message. I can't do anything about bugs if I don't know that they're there! Lastly, feel free to offer up any suggestions for the map if you have them.
 
Enjoy!

Description:
 
This mod includes two separate pk3s, one which does not overwrite the Base Rebel Pilot and one that does. They are both appropriately named "zAlternate_Pilot" and "zRebel_Pilot_Overwrite" to avoid confusion between them.
 
zAlternate_Pilot.pk3
---------------------
 
Installing this pk3 will not overwrite the Base Rebel Pilot in any way. The default outfit differs greatly from the Base skin, as well as providing a new face. The team options are more or less the same, with the exception of the face and icons.
 
zRebel_Pilot_Overwrite.pk3
-----------------------
 
This pk3 completely overwrites the Base Rebel Pilot. Like the other pk3, team support barely differs, the face and icons being the only change made. The default outfit differs greatly from the original, see screenshot for details. I also noticed that the Base Rebel Pilot does not have a sounds.cfg in assets1.pk3, so I've provided him with the same sounds as the Rebel. (Ironically, the Rebel draws his sounds from a folder named "Rebel_Pilot1")
 
Enjoy!

This is a small duelling map set on Yavin IV. Some of the sections in the centre can be raised and lowered with the use of Force Push and Pull. There is also a secret room somewhere for you to find!

Description:
 
This was a small map built as something of a challenge to myself. The entire thing was built in a day, the map, npc files and the .sabs they use - all in a few hours! I really enjoyed trying out the Byss theme, so let me know what you think of the results! If you encounter anything unusual, any bugs, feel free to drop me a message and I'll see what can be done about 'em. The map itself is a single room with a viewing window into outer space. Two consoles occupy the room which trigger unique .npc files which use the Boss Reborn skins. Watch out, as they've been issued unique Lightsabers which give them a little bit of an edge sometimes!
 
The music playing in the background of the level is Ahto City, composed by Jeremy Soule from the first KotOR soundtrack. Everything else uses Base materials. Enjoy!
 
Comments:
 
Odd though it may seem, the inspiration for this map actually came from The Academy V2, by Virtue, whom I'd like to tip my hat to. To this day, every so often I'll spend a few hours in the NPC room there. I love the atmosphere of the level, and so I took the concept and applied a different theme, which happened to be Byss in the end. Weird, huh?

Placing this .pk3 in your Base folder will mutate your cursor into a zombie's arm, just in time for Halloween!
If you should encounter any errors with this file, please don't hesitate to let me know so I can fix them.

This mod contains two .pk3s that once installed, will change the appearance of your chat icon in Jedi Academy multiplayer to resemble the quest icons found in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
 
Place SWTOR_IconComplete or SWTOR_IconQuest.pk3 in the Base folder of your JA directory to install. You may only have one of these installed at any one time.

Description:
 
Once installed, this mod enables the following Base JA vehicles to come to a complete stop whilst in still in flight.
 
X-Wing (/npc spawn vehicle x-wing)
Tie Fighter (/npc spawn vehicle tie-fighter)
Tie Bomber (/npc spawn vehicle tie-bomber)
Tie Bomber 2 (/npc spawn vehicle tie-bomber2)
Lambda Shuttle (/npc spawn vehicle lambdashuttle)
Z-95 (/npc spawn vehicle z-95)
 
Note that this .pk3 overwrites the originals, so no new commands are required to spawn them. If you choose to upload this .pk3 to your server, your clients shouldn't actually have to download this for themselves, having tested that. Placing this in your Base folder will not allow you to hover on a server that does not have the pk3 uploaded. If you'd like to use the vehicles for solo games, then you only need to place this in your Base folder!

Installation Instructions:
=====================
 
Included should be a "zConsole_JO.zip" file. Unzip the folder and place the pk3 contained within in the Base folder of your Jedi Outcast directory.
 
About the mod:
=============
 
Per request of szawlo, I've provided a JO-friendly variant to this mod! Installing the pk3 will render your console invisible in game. If you encounter any bugs while using this file, please let me know. Not being the usual JO-player, I may have missed something!
 
This mod is unlikely to be compatible with any other mod which alters the gfx.shader.

Description:
 
Placing this pk3 in your Base folder will adjust the size of the icons displayed in the model selection screen of Jedi Academy both at the main menu and during gameplay. I personally find that less scrolling is better. If you decide to try out this modification, please bare in mind that this pk3, whilst in your Base folder, will not work if you are playing in a multi-player mod that alters the ui/JAMP/player.ui file.
 
Please view the included screenshot if you would like a preview.

Description:
 
If you have Jedi Academy installed via Steam, you may as well overlook this mod. If you have JA installed the old fashioned way, then maybe this mod is for you! This launcher has a few more things going for it than just a redesign. For a quick idea of just what is included, take a swift look at the screenshots provided.
 
Firstly, the buttons have undergone some redecorating, and have been provided with new sounds. The dead link to the Jedi Academy website has been overwritten to take you straight to JKHub. There is also a new links directory file, which is essentially a condensed version of the information found on the JKHub Directory page. Most of the text has been altered from the original launcher, too. So quite the overhaul! If you're interested, why not give it a try? Just be sure to backup the original, first!
 
Installation Instructions:
 
A standard Jedi Academy directory (i.e. Not purchased via Steam) has a file path similar to this:
 
C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Base
 
Inside the "Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy" folder, is "Gamedata" and "Install"
 
Back-up the "Install" folder somewhere. Then, take the "Install" folder from the file you just downloaded, and drag it into the "Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy" folder. You should be prompted as to whether or not you'd like to overwrite 14 files or so, hit yes.
 
There, the launcher is installed.

Description:
 
This file contains two seperate chat icons, only one of which may be installed at any time. One is themed like a thought bubble, the other displays a "Probably AFK" message above the player. Feel free to give it a download and try it out!

When installed, your cursor will become a candy cane!
To install, place in the Base folder of your JA directory.
 
Enjoy the festive season!

This pack contains a handful of files, all of which require placement in your Gamedata/Hydroball folder, not your Base folder. I started putting this together simply so that when I glanced at the main menu, I could tell if the mod was running or not. Whilst I was making the change, I decided to make a couple more. The effects of installing each of the files are listed below.
 
Note: Only install one of the zConsole files, as they will conflict with one another.
 
zAnimation.pk3
This mod ensures that your hands are placed by your sides when unarmed, rather than raised in front of you with clenched fists.

zConsole.pk3
This alters the Base console to display my new Hydroball logo without affecting the transparency.

zConsole_Transparent.pk3
This mod makes the console fully transparent, with the addition of a unique Hydroball logo I designed.

zHud.pk3
Installing this pk3 removes unnecessary clutter surrounding the in game HUD.

zMenu.pk3
This replaces where it reads "Multiplayer" with "Hydroball" just above the video on the main menu.

zSplashScreen.pk3
This changes the loading screen for the Hydroball mod.

Description:
 
This mod is a reskin of Mars' old Bantha model, converting it into an Alot from the blog and web comic, Hyperbole and a Half.
 
To spawn the Alot, open the console and enter: "/npc spawn vehicle alot", then jump on his back to ride him!
 
Any bugs, let me know in the comments section!
 
Credits:
 
Thanks to neomarz1 for the Bantha model, as well as Light NInja for animating it.

Title: Silent Menus
Author: MagSul
Release Date: 23 September 2013
Filesize: 92 KB
Version: 1.0
Description & Installation:
Following download, unzip the file and place the .pk3 in the base folder of your JA directory. Once installed, all sounds associated with browsing the menus of Jedi Academy will be muted. I did this simply because I found the sounds irritating, but didn't want to disable various other in game sounds with the slider in the setup menu.
 
Because most of the "Quit Game" menus played a sound from the lightsaber directory, several of the .menu files from the ui directory are included (modified). If you have any mods installed which alter the ui files in any way, there may be a conflict. However, this should only affect the one sound (quitting the game through the menus). As most of us quit the game using the console command /quit or /q, I doubt that'll be a problem. If you encounter any errors, let me know about them and I'll see what I can do about it in a future update!

Description:
 
When using /npc spawn vehicle swoop, you normally encounter a MAX_QPATH error that winds up with the swoop itself remaining textureless. This mod fixes that, but also lets you choose which colour swoop you'd like that vehicle to be.

Description:
 
This is a small FFA map that I put together in my spare time. There are four places for you to go about duelling: the garden, the pillar room, the dojo or the interior garden.The pillars in the pillar room may be raised and lowered with the use of Force Push and Pull.

Placing this file in your Base folder will ensure that whilst playing as the male Rodian Jaden in multiplayer, you will hear appropriate Rodian sounds.

This mod contains two pk3s, either of which will replace the default chat icon in multiplayer Jedi Academy once installed. Their design is based on the quest icons found in the World of Warcraft MMORPG. You may only install one of these at any one time, so make sure that you only place one of them in your Base folder!

WINNER of the HOLIDAY MOD CONTEST 2022
This is a short and sweet level I put together for the holiday contest this year. Just unzip the folder and place the contents in the Gamedata folder. You can then use the included .bat file to load the mod on both Steam and disc versions.
 
Kyle has decided to take a quick break from the festivities, but it isn't as relaxing as he'd hoped.
 
Known Bugs: Sometimes Rosh and Jaden are stubborn and don't bow out properly, but the cutscene should still trigger once both are dealt with. 🙂
 

Description:
 
For the sake of variety and increased visibility, I've provided several alternatives to the default blue used for the ball in the Hydroball mod. The ball itself is apparently not seamless, otherwise I would have attempted the obvious choice of a Blitzball from FFX. Please note that you may only have one ball installed at any one time.
 
The variants include: Cyan, Green, Orange, Red, White, Yellow
 
A special English football variant has been included. Whilst not perfectly seamless (something beyond my control), it looks the part well enough to be used.
