Fun update!  I have started tweaking funny things like dismemberment probability and enemy aim (just to see how it works and feels).   Most of Desann's attributes are indeed tied to his class. His unique lightsaber hilt, invulnerability to lightning and level 4 force powers are all linked to that. Unless I want to create a custom class and attribute it to him, all I can really change is his rank, aim, intelligence, ect.    I have got him to the point where the only thing I have changed is the frequency at which he uses his unbreakable force powers. So all in all, i'd call that a victory. He's still a 7 foot tall monkey lizard who can jump on Kyle while using his one handed strong stance to dominate, but at least he won't suspend me in the air while I helplessly watch my health drain.  

All good points. Honestly, just trying to make it so he doesn't have infinite force lightning or unbreakable force choke/grip.  I've toyed around with NPC files in Academy, mainly to fix bugs in them (wrong voices, wrong run speeds, ect.). I just hadn't found the files to do so with Outcast yet.  Should be fun! I enjoy Desann's fight a lot, it just feels like he can tank me despite my knowledge of the mechanics at times.    To quote Cassian Andor, I've been in this fight since I was six years old. quite literally been playing this game for a looong time. so it would be fun to know how to tweak it.     I'll probably toy around with it for an hour and then agree that Raven did a great job balancing him and leave it be haha.

Hello,

I am curious if there is a way to edit the attributes, health, or power of various NPCs in Jedi Outcast.    I have done this before with Jedi Academy tools, but haven't found anything as simple with Outcast.  Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to start if possible?  Is there a file in the game folders that I can access?

Dessann is one tough dude. Just trying to make him less OP. 

This is definitely more of a question than a request, but does anyone think Outcast could use an updated set of skyboxes?  

I was playing Academy and couldn't  help but notice the vistas in academy are generally better than outcast.  -  KOTOR had a mod project where someone went through and updated the resolution of the skyboxes while staying true to the original. So now I can't get it out of my mind to try and update them, but frankly, I'm not quite good enough to pull off such a feat. 

There was A LOT of effort put into that video. While I prefer the original cut, this did put a huge smile on my face. 

Yep. Open up the console (pressing Shift + ~, the key left to 1), then devmapall <mapname>, and once in-game, you can spawn whatever NPC you want typing in the console npc spawn <NPC name>, or if you feel epic enough, npc spawn vehicle <vehicle name>.

How do I know the map's name if I download it from this site? 

So this is most likely a dumb question, but is it possible to populate a multiplayer map (because there are so many good ones) with single player NPC's? I would love to load up a multiplayer map in singleplayer because they are so much fun, but I haven't found out how. 

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. 

There's a tutorial on how to make JKA models and put them into Jedi Outcast with Blender.

That is awesome! do you know where to find this tutorial? 

Is there any chance this character model is compatible with Jedi Outcast Single Player? 

Yeah, but his is way more of a Dark Forces 2 Kyle (it looks cool though). If anything, I just want minimum changes to the existing character model if that's possible. Pull a JJ Abrams: keep what we know and love and change it just enough to make us all happy ha-ha.  

To anyone reading this, I would love to see a small mod that is just an HD model of Kyle Katarn's head.

His character model is already superb as completed by Raven and Lucasarts back in 2002, but it is starting to show its age. Textures are more or less fine, but the number of sharp edges on Katarn's character are noticeable. 

For instance, his head is fairly rectangular and a few more polygons to round out his model would be incredible. Seeing as how we have to look at the back of his head literally constantly while playing Jedi Outcast, it would be something everyone still playing this amazing game could benefit from.

The second instance I can think of is the front of his face. This one isn't as important, but his cheek has a sharp edge that would look superb if it were rounded out.

If anyone reads this, let me know what you think. I would love to see this accomplished. I would do it myself, but I have never done character modeling. 

Thanks to you all, and may the force be with you.
