    Author: Darth Zappa Original Release Date: 12-07-2004 The deathstar trench. Pretty self explanatory i guess. This is a team ffa dogfightin' map, with turrets on the surface. There is an exhaust port that goes kaplooie and awards 25 points to the first rebel that shoots it, but the entire map does not explode or anything like that. beware flying over the large deathstar gun dish - the gun is ARMED! if you fly into its shot path, it will fire. you will go kaplooie. This map will NOT WORK WELL in FFA MODE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TFFA GAMES on HERE. to change to TFFA, set your server's g_gametype to 6. This map is huge. In fact, it's as big as it can possibly be. If you had trouble running star destroyer siege, then don't bother with this. There is no 'inside' to the deathstar, other than the tie-fighter hangars. I have no plans to add the interior to this map. I may add siege in the future; for now it's TFFA. There are two versions of the map included: deathstar_trench_v1 - has just basic x-wing and tie-fighter vehicles. this version is good for folks who dont want to add any custom vehicles to their servers. deathstar_trench_v2 - has several custom vehicles added to the map - tie-advanced - darth vader's tie fighter - tie-defender - a deluxe tie fighter from the EU novels and games - tie-interceptor - the improved tie fighter from ROTJ - y-wing - the rebel heavy fighter - a-wing - small heavily armed fighter from ROTJ - b-wing - the large heavy fighter from ROTJ - millenium falcon (yt-1300) - heavy armed freighter, which is only enabled if the rebels make it to the far end of the trench ** IMPORTANT ** READ THIS ABOUT VEHICLE LIMITS ** This map uses many custom vehicles, and you might hit the limit allowed by JA. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND RUNNING A MOD such as 'ASTEROIDS MOD' or 'JAPLUS v2.2' which enables the server and client to have extra vehicles installed in your base folder. If you do not use a mod like this, you need to clean out your base folder of any other vehicles that you are not using on this map to run it. If you are running a Mod that allows for extra vehicles, you can also install your vehicles in that mod's folder. For example, if you are running japlus, then you can put extra vehicles in the gamedata/japlus folder and they will only be available when you are on a server running that mod. This is a good method to keeping your base folder tidy and conflict-free. ** INSTALLATION ** put the deathstar_trench.pk3 into your base folder. If you are going to run the v2 version of the map with extra vehicles, put the vehicle .pk3 files into either your base folder, or (recommended) your mod folder, such as gamedata/japlus or gamedata/asteroids (whatever one you are using.) vehicles installed into a mod folder are only available during games that are running that mod.

Several of these vehicles are from the Asteroids Mod pack, to ensure compatibility with that mod. Portions of this map were copy/pasted from Raven's star destroyer siege map, but i changed them around quite a bit.

    Author(s): KOTORMRJay & War_Shark Original Release Date: 03-02-2007 Two simple bases connected by a wormhole FSF is set up with a few different features. This map has turrets that have a variable, the server/host must state the ones he has in use ( AI or player controlled ). All players must conform to the host turret choice. To control the Player turret you must hold the "BACK" direction to unlock full rotation. There are NPC's in map as well as many secrets and bonuses to find ( like a NPC based saber challenge ). FSF also has a user variable. Each player can pick the ships they want to use for the "bonus ships" for Rebs. there is the B-WING_REB and the Y-Wing_reb for Imp. there is the VADER-TIE_IMP and the SLAVE-1_IMP. These are mainly examples as long as the basic VEH and NPC files remain mostly the same and the ship you choose to create has the appropriate amount of tags almost any ship can be created as a "bonus ship". Every player can have their choice of bonus ship for example... Server has the b_wing and the vader_tie in his base folder, player 1 has the y_wing and the slave_1 in his base folder they can both play. When the players meet in space the server will see player 1 flying a b_wing and himself in a vader tie. Player 1 will see the server flying a slave_1 and himself in a Y_wing. Basically you will see the ship in your base folder. Extract info and basic tutorial of how to switch out ships. extracted data extract to base folder: BASE: FSF.PK3 TURRET_PLAYER.PK3 VADER-TIE_IMP.PK3 B-WING_REB.PK3 FOLDER(bonus_ships_imp) VADER-TIE_IMP.PK3 SLAVE-1_IMP.PK3 FOLDER(bonus_ships_reb) B-WING_REB.PK3 Y-Wing_reb.PK3 FOLDER(Turret_variants) TURRET_EXTREME_MODE_A-I.PK3 TURRET_PLAYER.PK3 Let say the server is running AI turrets...

The map is FFA TFFA and CTF. The map does come with a basic bot support Bots do not fly Good luck and have fun.

    Author: XOFT CORP Original release date: 12-24-2012 Version: 1.0 STORY By the second year of the Clone Wars, the Outer Rim world of Quell, the principal planet of the Quell system had become a contested site between the Galactic Republic and the opposing Confederacy of Independent Systems. However, Quell's state of contention soon escalated when capital ship forces from both sides of the ongoing war met in the highest levels of the planet's atmosphere to engage in battle. The Sky Battle of Quell took place in the second year of the Clone Wars in the skies over the contested world of Quell when Jedi General Aayla Secura and her Republic fleet were ambushed by a Confederate Navy flotilla. Meeting in Quell's upper atmosphere, each faction launched starfighter squadrons that engaged their enemies in combat. Although both sides took losses, it was Secura's forces that suffered greater casualties when two of her three Star Destroyers fell to the Confederate frigates' heavy turbolaser fire. As the Separatist tactical droid commander, TF-1726, dispatched B2-RP battle droids to board Secura's crippled command ship, the Liberty, Jedi General Anakin Skywalker arrived with reinforcements aboard his own flagship, the Resolute. Launching in LAAT/i gunships, Skywalker boarded the Liberty with his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, and troops of the 501st Legion led by Clone Captain CT-7567 to evacuate the cruiser before it could be destroyed.

Here is the original readme: Hey guys, I made a map based on Rogue One's Jedha City for the Moviebattles 2 mod. If you want to play this map you need to have the Moviebattles 2 mod installed for JK3. Download Moviebattles 2 The objectives for the rebel team is that they have to hack the imperial occupier tank, The Imperials have to defend it. The rebels have a rooftop advantage, the Imperials a ground advantage. All the textures, models, map and FA are made by me. This music is a custom mix from the movie soundtrack to suit the 5 min rounds. I recommend a fast pc that can handle high fps, and haven't had any feedback from any one conserning performance, but it should be doable for a modern pc. I hope you can play this without any errors, because I'm not planning to support this project any further in the future. It was fun making it, and I hope you enjoy it.

  6. Tools you'll need Notepad Pakscape ModView Image editing software, such as GIMP This tutorial is meant to explain how to compile multiplayer skins. This tutorial is not meant to be a tutorial on how to make actual skin textures. Please use more creativity than this tutorial shows when making your own multiplayer skins! The first thing you want to do is have an idea of what kind of skin you want to make. For this tutorial we'll make a recolor, however I strongly recommend against making simple recolors, unless just for practice. For this tutorial we will use the Jedi model. Create the following directory in your hard drive: base/models/players Open assets1.pk3 from your Jedi Academy base folder using Pakscape and extract the Jedi folder and the _humanoid folder (see image below). Open the model.glm in ModView. It should look like this: What we want to do is recolor the shirt. In your own works you'll want to do more than this, but as an example it'll work. In the jedi folder you extracted, open "model_default.skin" with notepad. Inside you'll see the following: hipsa,models/players/jedi/legs.tga hipsa_torso,models/players/jedi/torso.tga l_lega,models/players/jedi/boots_hips.tga l_lega_cap_hips_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga r_lega,models/players/jedi/boots_hips.tga r_lega_cap_hips_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga hipsa_cap_r_leg_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga hipsa_cap_l_leg_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga hips_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torso,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torsoa,models/players/jedi/torso.tga torsoa_l_shoulder,models/players/jedi/torso.tga torsoa_r_shoulder,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_arma,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_handa,models/players/jedi/basic_hand.tga r_handa_wrist,models/players/jedi/torso.tga r_handa_cap_r_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga r_arma_cap_r_hand_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga r_arma_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga l_arma,models/players/jedi/torso.tga l_handa,models/players/jedi/basic_hand.tga l_handa_wrist,models/players/jedi/torso.tga l_handa_cap_l_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga l_arma_cap_l_hand_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga l_arma_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torsoa_cap_l_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torsoa_cap_r_arm_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga head,models/players/jedi/torso.tga heada,models/players/jedi/head_01.tga heada_face,models/players/jedi/face_01.tga heada_eyes_mouth,models/players/jedi/mouth_eyes.tga headb,*off headb_face,*off headb_eyes_mouth,*off head_cap_torso_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torso_cap_head_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga torso_cap_hips_off,models/players/stormtrooper/caps.tga I have bolded the lines of interest. They indicate the torso and both arms, which we want to recolor. As you can see, they point to torso.jpg. Open this jpeg in your graphics program (preferably something that supports layers, like GIMP or photoshop -- do not use MS Paint!) Once you have the jpeg open, make a new layer and, for our purposes, we'll choose a green color. Use paintbucket to fill the layer with green, then set the layer to overlay, then save it. Re-open the jedi model in ModView, or refresh the textures (see image below). Now you don't want to overwrite the jedi model, so now we're going to make this an independent skin. The first thing we need to do is open up model_default.skin again. Now press control + H and you should get a text replace window. For our purposes we're going to name our skin bobs_jedi, so in "Find what:" put jedi, and in "Replace with:" put bobs_jedi. Note that you can't always use the replacer, as sometimes the folder name will also be present in the texture name. Be careful when replacing text in the .skin file. Once your .skin file is finished, rename the entire jedi folder bobs_jedi, then open up the model.glm and make sure your model still has textures. If it doesn't then you've done something wrong. Open PakScape and create the following directory structure: Save the PK3 with a unique name in your base folder. Do not overwrite any assets PK3s or any pre-existing PK3s. To make sure your mod is as compatible as possible, make the name as unique as possible. An easy way to do this would be to put your name or initials in the PK3 name. This also goes for your character's folder. Our folder is named bobs_jedi. However if we simply named it "bob" or "jedi" it would be more likely to conflict with another mod. Think of how many Anakin skins are out there, and how many problems we would have if they all used the same folder name! Write a read-me text file for your mod, take some screenshots, and zip everything up, then share it with your friends!
  7. This modding tutorial will explain how to add any skin or model into the single-player species selection menu. It also covers how to correct issues with the Hoth outfits for the two Hoth levels. Originally written by Inyri Forge Tools you'll need Notepad Pakscape Image editing software, such as GIMP Make sure the model/skin you want to be a new playable species (through the character creation menu) is ready and works. Open Pakscape and open "assets0.pk3". Extract "MENUS.str" to any folder. Add a new entry to MENUS.str to reflect the skin you want to use. If the folder of your skin is "bob_skin", your entry will look like this: REFERENCE BOB_SKIN NOTES "For character menu" LANG_ENGLISH "Bob's Skin" Reference is the folder name of your skin, notes you don't need to worry about, and LANG_ENGLISH is the title that will come up on the menu. NOTE: While I'm not completely sure of this, I believe that the menu will only recognize the strings of the first MENUS.str you put in your base folder. In my experience, after subsequent modifications the strings will not appear. The mod, however, will work just fine. Make a new PK3 file (you may call it whatever you want) and make a folder called "strings". Inside that folder, make a folder called "English". Put MENUS.str into this "English" folder. You may choose to put the contents of the skin file into your PK3, or use the original PK3. This is up to you. However, we do need to add something to the skin to make it function, so do the following: make a folder called "models" in the base directory of your PK3. Inside this folder, make a folder called "players". Inside this folder, make a folder with the name of your skin. For our example, that would be "bob_skin". If you choose to make a new copy of your skin inside this mod, copy all contents of the "bob_skin" folder (or whatever you skin is called) into the new folder in the new PK3. Now is where things can get tricky, if you forget a step. Open notepad and make a file with the following content: *white { setcvar ui_char_color_red 255 setcvar ui_char_color_green 255 setcvar ui_char_color_blue 255 } Save this as "playerchoice.txt". That's right, save it as a text file. After saving, place it in the "bob_skin" folder, or whatever name you have chosen. Now is where we get a little involved. This tutorial will already assume you have your variants chosen and ready. What you will need to do is make icons for each head, torso, and lower body segment that you want to use. Name these "icon_head_a1.jpg", "icon_head_a2.jpg", "icon_head_a3.jpg", etc. Same with "icon_lower_a1.jpg" etc. and "icon_torso_a1.jpg" etc. Put them in your skin's folder. Now is the more complicated part. You will need to make skin files for each head, torso, and lower segment for each variant. This can be most complicated. While not difficult, most .skin files are not arranged in a very intuitive manner. We will take this section in steps as well. Assuming you have multiple skins of the same model that you want to use as variants: separate the head, torso, and lower strings of each skin. each head, torso, and lower segment to a new file. Name them the same way you named your icons (ie. head_a1.skin, torso_a1.skin, etc.). Test these out in ModView if you wish, otherwise place these in your skin's folder. In our example, "bob_skin". NOTE: Make sure that all of your skin files are pointing to the correct directory! If you did any folder renaming, you'll need to edit your .skin files to match. Save your PK3 and try it out! Fixing the Hoth Skins Make sure you have already followed the tutorial for getting a single-player skin or model in the custom menu. Copy your torso and lower .skin files, renaming them "lower_e1.skin" and "torso_g1.skin". Please note that these names must be exact. The game is programmed to look for these two skin files for the hoth clothing, and if there's a way to circumvent that I haven't found it yet. I haven't looked, however, because renaming them e1 and g1 isn't that complicated. Open up your skin's PK3 (the one you made in the last tutorial) and add these two .skin files to your skin's folder. Save and play! This should fix the problem of having the models come up mangled during the Hoth levels.

    How to use Modview

    This short introductory tutorial will show you the basics on how to setup ModView and how to properly use it for viewing models using the Quake3 engine. Tools you will need Pakscape ModView Any in-game model ModView is a very picky application. It requires a specific file structure to run properly, as well as a bunch of files. I'll guide you through the setup process in another step-by-step method. Make a folder called "base" anywhere on your PC. You may use your Jedi Academy base folder, if you wish. Make a folder, inside "base", called "models". Make a folder, inside "models", called "players". Open Pakscape, and open "assets1.pk3" which is located in your Jedi Academy base folder. In the models/players directory of assets1.pk3, find a folder called "_humanoid". Copy this folder into the players folder you made. Open the PK3 of whatever model you've chosen to look at. For this tutorial, we'll use the luke model. Go into models/players of the assets1.pk3 and copy the "luke" folder into your players folder that you made. Now that we have our computer set up to run ModView, let's look at the model. Go into the luke folder (on your PC, not in Pakscape; you can close Pakscape now, in fact) and click on "model.glm". This is our model file, which ModView will show. When ModView opens, there may be some error messages about shaders or caps. You can ignore those. Look at the model. If you've done everything correctly, you should be able to see it. ModView is ideal for skinning, except for the fact that in-game you will see the model at a much lower resolution, so it won't look quite the same. However, that fact does not mean you should skimp on the details. So now you want to edit Luke. Edit his texture files (targas and jpegs) any way you want. Now you want to see your changes. Make sure your textures are saved, then go back into ModView. There is a small button at the top with an oval on it and the letters "TEX". Click this to update your textures. Voila, those are the ModView basics. Here are some other helpful hints. ModView will show any supported model performing all in-game animations. You can press the play button to view them from start to finish, or use the collapsable tree on the left to view individual animation sequences. This can be helpful for choosing new/alternate animations. The button just left of the "TEX" button is the "best fit to screen" button. In case you lose your model somewhere, you can click that button to bring it back to the center of the viewscreen.

  9. This simple but comprehensive tutorial will teach you how to make a very basic sword model from generic shapes. It is ideal for learning to make weapons for video game modding. Originally written by Inyri Forge Tools you will need 3DS Max (or gmax) Image editing software, such as GIMP NOTE: This tutorial was written with 3DS Max in mind. Some parts may not be compatible with GMAX - I can't say for certain because I don't use it and don't know what functions it doesn't have. See the attached key below to find all important buttons/functions listed in this tutorial: This tutorial will cover all aspects of both modelling and skinning a very simple sword - a Roman gladius. This sword will need the following basic shapes: a plane (or box), two spheres, and a cylinder. That's right! You can make a sword out of just these basic shapes. I purposely picked a very simple design to begin with. It's never good to try and learn to do something by starting out with something complicated. The first thing we want to do is find a good reference picture. I've already done this for us by using a quick google search. Searching google is one of the easiest ways to find good reference pictures without having to do much work yourself. For self-concepts or less common models you may have to draw your own references. If this is the case you just want to make sure your reference is as straight as possible (you may even want to open the image with your image editing software and rotate it until it is as straight as you can get it). This will help in the modeling process. So here is our base reference image: As you can see, this image is only from the front. We will have to "guess" what it looks like from the side. It is okay to assume that the hilt portion is either perfectly round or slightly ovular - whether you want your grip to be round or an oval will be up to you - it really doesn't matter. I am guessing both the sphere on the bottom and the guard separating the hilt and blade are also round. This will be important later. The first thing we want to do is open up 3DS Max or GMAX and start out with a fresh scene. Pick a viewport - I usually use the front viewport - and hit ALT + B. This will bring up the viewport background window. What we want to do is add our base image as our viewport background. Find it, wherever you saved it on your hard drive, then under Aspect Ratio select Match Bitmap. Just to the right, make sure both Display Background and Lock Zoom/Pan are selected. Click OK. So now we should see our gladius image on the background of our viewport. If you find the grid distracting, as I usually do, you can turn it off by right clicking the viewport name and selecting Show Grid. This will toggle the grid off. There, now I can see my reference better! At this point I would zoom in to your selected viewport by hitting the Maximize Viewport Toggle button in the very bottom right. You will probably also want to zoom out by using your mouse scroller. So now what? We have our image, but how do we start? First of all, make sure yo'ure in the create tab. I use a plane method to make all my sword blades, so I don't have to worry about two layers of vertices, but you can just as easily use a box and skip the extrude step I will get to later. This tutorial will go over the plane method. Make a plane roughly the size of your blade. Don't worry if it's not perfect. Once you have made your plane, you may want to change the viewport rendering to Smooth + Hilights. Find this in the same place as Show Grid. Now hit escape to deselect the plane tool and select your plane. Hit ALT + X to go into x-ray mode and F4 to show your edges. If you see lots of edges, go into the modify tab and change your length/width segments to one. MODELER'S HINT! It's always easier to add edges than remove them! If in doubt, use less detail than you need. You can always add more later, but removing detail can be a pain! So now your viewport should look something like this: What we want to do now is right click on the plane, go down to Convert To and chose Editable Poly. This will bring up the Editable Poly Roll-out. Select the Edge Tool and select the two long edges. Right click and select Connect. You should now see an edge in roughly the middle of the blade. Using the Move tool, drag it up to where the blade first begins to narrow. At this point, your viewport should look like this: Now we want to select all three of the short edges and hit Connect. This should draw a line right down the middle. Now I will teach you a time-saving technique for use with symmetrical objects. Select the Vertex tool and delete all the vertices to the right of that center line. That will destroy the right half of your plane. Unselect the vertext tool and select your plane. Hit the Mirror button and make sure it it set to X. Then under Clone Selection choose Instance. This will copy the right half of your blade to the left half, so whatever you do to one side will be mirrored on the other. Handy, huh? Now select the left side again, and select the vertex tool. We will now use the Target Weld tool. Select the target weld button and click on the top left vertex. Now click on the top middle vertex, where the point of the sword is. Now our plane looks a little more like it's supposed to! You'll notice the shape isn't quite right, as the gladius narrows a bit at the top. No worries! With the vertex tool, select the top right vertex (not the point of the sword!) and with the move tool move it to the right until it matches the reference image. You may also have to move the bottom left vertex out as well. Now you should know enough about the basic tools to be able to do this, though! Move the outer vertices around until you're happy with the general shape. So now what do we do? All we have is a flat plane. Now comes the fun part. The first thing we want to do is combine the two halves of our sword to avoid headaches later on. Because the right side is an instance, we can't attach them directly. So what do we do? Delete it! Repeat the process of making the instance, but this time chose to copy it as a copy. Now you can choose Attach from your modify panel and click on the other side of the blade. To reduce the vertex count, use the vertext tool, select all vertices, and click Weld. With the default number it should weld all the middle vertices without welding any vertices you don't want to weld. Now that our blade is complete again, use the Polygon tool and select all the faces of your blade. There are only four, so it's not a big hassle. Just hit CTRL + A to select all. Now hit Extrude in your roll-out. Don't see a difference, do you? Now we'll need to go to a different viewport to see what we're doing. Hit Cancel and press the P button on your keyboard. This will send us to the Perspective viewport. Don't worry that your base image is gone - it's still on your other viewport. Zoom out so you can see your whole model and use the Viewport Rotate button to get a good angle on your blade so you can see both the front and side. With all faces still selected, once again hit Extrude. Now we can see what's happening! This will only be one side of your blade, so the default 10 should be okay. We can always increase it later if we need to. Click OK. So our sword now should look like this: Now we're going to use the Target Weld tool again to make the blade sharp - nobody wants to use a dull blade! Weld the vertices of the front to the back, leaving the middle vertices where they are - you have nothing to weld them to anyway! This is easiest to do in perspective mode. Remember, you can turn edges on here too by hitting F4. Here's another trick, to make sure your blade looks sharp. With the Polygon Tool select the faces of one side of the blade - right or left. Scroll down in the rollout until you see Smoothing Groups. Underneath this will be buttons numbered 1 to 32. 1 should be hilighted in yellow. Click it so it is grey, then click the 2 next to it so that the 2 is yellow. This will cause one side of your blade to have a different smoothing group than the other, making it have a hard edge. This will help your blade to look a bit harder. For smoothed blades you'll want to forgo this step. Now to make the back side of our blade we will once again employ the mirroring technique, but this time choose Y as your axis. You can mirror as a copy if you like and attach the front to the back if you're sure you aren't going to make any more changes. If you think you might alter your blade later, copy it as an instance again. You can skip the welding phase here also if you like. This will keep the blade from smoothing around the edges. For swords with higher vertex counts you will want to weld them and apply different smoothing groups to either side, but this sword has so few polies in the blade that it is unnecessary. So now our blade is done! Phew! Let's move on to the hilt. Hit F to go back to your front viewport. Use the Pan tool to get a good view of the hilt area and zoom in if you need to. We will make the hilt before we make the guard. From the Create tab select Cylinder. A section will pop up called Parameters with a bunch of options. Change the Height Segments to 1 and the Sides to 8. Anywhere from 8 to 12 sides should be sufficient for current gaming purposes (the game engine will smooth these faces and you will not see a difference even if you use additional edges). Using more sides than that is simply wasteful. Put your mouse cursor at roughly the middle of the hilt and click, dragging ds until the edge of the cylinder is close to the edge of the hilt in the picture. Drag the mouse a little bit and click again - this determines the height of the cylinder. Since you can't see how long you made it, we'll worry about changing it later. Hit escape to deselect the cylinder tool. Once again hit ALT + X to put this cylinder in x-ray mode. The cylinder isn't facing the right direction, so we'll need to rotate it. If you have 3DSMax you can use the Angle Snap Toggle to make sure you rotate it exactly 90 degrees. If you have GMAX you'll just have to be a little more careful, as I'm told it lacks this function. Click the Rotate tool and rotate the cylinder 90 degrees. That should look more like a hilt! Move the cylinder up or down and use the Scale tool to scale it only up and down (select just the green part and pull it up or down, depending on how you rotated your cylinder). Position the cylinder so it approximately covers the hilt. To compensate for our hilt guard and pommel section we will need to make it a little bit longer on both ends. I forgot to tell you to do this for the blade, so we'll fix that later. Your model should look something like this at this point: You can see our hilt isn't quite the right shape, as we did with the blade, change the cylinder to an editable poly. Using the vertex tool, select all of the bottom vertices and scale them (you can scale in all directions this time by clicking the center of the yellow portion and dragging) until the are about the width of the bottom of the hilt in the picture. Do the same with the top. Now we have this: Much better! Our hilt is done! Wasn't that easy? So now we have to do the pommel and the hilt guard. This'll be a little bit more complicated, but not too bad. For these we will use the sphere tool. The first thing we want to do is fix our blade. It isn't quite long enough right now, so we want to drag the bottom verts down so they're just overlapping the hilt guard in our picture. This will ensure our model doesn't have any holes. Overlapping objects isn't a bad thing. In fact it is often the easiest way to make sure your model doesn't have any gaping holes in it! Now select the Sphere tool from the Create tab. Change its parameters so the Segments are about 10 or 12. Twelve segments will be much easier to work with for our purposes. To get the sphere to match our reference, place the cursor near the middle of the very bottom of our blade, click, and drag. If it doesn't match up with the picture, use the move tool to reposition it. Remember to put it in x-ray mode! To make things easier for ourselves, let's rotate this sphere 90 degrees up so that it has a straight line across the middle, where our hilt guard and blade will meet. It's a good thing we picked 12 sides, because the mid line falls right where we want it to! Scale the sphere to the left and right if you need to, then convert it to an editable poly. Delete all the vertices above the center line. You should have this: Now if you look at this in perspective mode you'll see we have a problem. Deleting those vertices left us with a hole! In Polygon mode, select Create. Now click on each vertex in order around the top of the half-sphere. This will create a large face which will be the top of our hilt guard. Our hilt guard is done! Now for the easy part - the pommel. I could explain a complicated way, which involves attaching it to the hilt, yadda yadda yadda, but doing that is really unnecessary and will only make UV mapping it more difficult, so we're just going to leave it unattached. Once again select the Sphere tool with the same parameters are our hiltguard. Click on the center of our pommel and drag. Scale the sphere up, down, left or right until you get the right shape. Voila! Done! Before we move on, you may want to go into perspective mode and make sure your hiltguard and pommel aren't elongated from front to back. If they are, scale them appropriately. Here is our finished sword model:

    Author: Jagged Cougar (Brandon) of Clan Apathy (Ca) File Name: Grand_Apathy.pk3 File Size: 33.5 MB~ Date Released : Nov 16, 2010 Special Thanks: Clan Apathy for waiting so long for this map. HQTZ, aka Boddo, for his patience teaching me things and testing help. All the "beta" testers over the last year or two. Credits : Boddo and his awesome shaders. <JS> Vouksh of jk2files.com for the Master Sword model of his Link Sword Mod (v3.1) pack. SithMasteR555's SwordMod (v2). Various authors of hi-res n64 texture packs from emutalk.net. Google.com! Description : My first map ever released, and the first official clan map for Ca. I've noticed that even the best looking maps get old quick, so I designed Grand Apathy with longevity and practicality as a focus. The challenges are tough, yet fun and will add alot of life to the map. Comments: I hit the entity-limit with this map. Because of that, I was unable to add some additional triggers and stuff around the map, was unable to completely finish the admin wing, and was definitely unable to make the 3-4 additional rooms/challenges I had planned (GRAND Apathy indeed!). Other than that, the 10-year-old N64 fan in me had a fun time making this map, and it was a wonderful learning experience. I think I have now acquired a good technical know-how in mapping, that's for sure. Technical: 8235 brushes. 1633 entities (1259 light). Compiled with -light -fast -filter -super2 -bounce8. Sorry, no -samples on this one. I actually worked on about 3 different versions of this clan map before scrapping them all and finally ended up piecing together the rooms into this monster. Done over the course of 2 1/2 years taking months long breaks between 3-7 day mapping spurts. Guestimated worktime: 150+ hours. How to Install : Put the Grand_Apathy.pk3 in your GameData\base game folder. Start JK2 and put "/com_hunkmegs 128" in the console then restart the game. Now enjoy the map!

    This program is basically obsolete by today's standards, but it provides a few unique features not found in modern clients like entity positioning which is essential for clever entity mods. The original website this was available on is now down. This upload is to help preserve a key part of JKA's history while also providing the tool to use even 20+ years later. Note: this is not compatible with OpenJK natively. It runs on jamp.exe. Boba Fett's Ultra Utility is a utility with many tools and features designed to enhance the gaming experience and providing new abilities. Note: Ultra Utility, since it runs alongside Jedi Academy, needs a decent system to run properly. So trying to run it on older pc's or laptops may result in performance issues. One of the primary components of Ultra Utility is its kill tracker. This system allows you to keep track of your kills, deaths and much more. There are, of course, other kill trackers around, but none are as advanced as Ultra Utility's KT, as it keeps track of the players that killed you (or that you killed) with their 'KT profile', it tracks weapons used to kill/die, bots and humans are tracked separately, long names are supported, all languages are supported (the kill tracker is fully language independent, as it does not use console messages for the tracking), and even CTF stats are tracked. And of course you can set your own kill messages. Now, not everyone likes kill trackers. Therefore the kill tracker is just a component of Ultra Utility and can therefore be turned off at will. For the people that like special duel music, you can set a special song that should play once you enter a duel. Next there is a media player, powered by FMOD, supporting many file formats (see features). This way you can listen to your favorite music while chopping up people with your lightsaber. To make things more interesting, Ultra Utility provides an equalizer, several sound effects and the ability to change the playback speed to make the music sound better or just for the fun of it (chipmunks ^_^). The media player supports multiple playlists so you can easily group your music and switch playlists on the fly in-game. Ultra Utility uses the classical 'KT' command system, meaning it uses commands prefixed with ! (exclamation mark). Unlike normal KT's, Ultra Utility does not only support commands typed in chat, but also commands typed in the console! Likewise, you can also bind UU commands or put them in scripts (.cfg), as they act like real JA commands. The command responses can be set to appear in the console, in private chat (sent to you) or public chat (not recommended unless you're sure the server admins don't mind) A thorough list of commands can be found in the manual, or you can use !help for command information in-game. One of Ultra Utility's special features, which is one of the things that makes it unique: The in-game menu. This is a menu system that uses the console to display itself (by overriding it). In this menu you got access to predefined messages (so you don't have to waste keys), broadcast messages (ampsay messages, currently only JA+ is supported), emotes, rendering options (the things that do not appear in the options screen ^_^, including a few 'cheat-protected' settings), server info, player info (with homing system), media player info, download manager (to download specific files from the server, if the server allows downloads), a palette editor so you can change the RGBA combinations of the color code (this is client-side only though), player data monitor (so you can see your information such as health/armor, rewards (leftover from JK2, but they work!), inventory, weapons, force powers, position.. etc), and the JA-GPS (live position and movement information about yourself). Starting the menu is done by pressing a hotkey (ctrl-numpad / by default). The menu itself is controlled using keys, every entry has a key linked to it, just press the key to perform a certain action (open a menu, display a message, change a setting, etc). Closing it can be done by pressing the X key (back) in the main menu or by pressing the hotkey again. When the menu is closed, Ultra Utility will recover the console fully. Next in line is the Favorite server list. This feature allows you to keep track of your favorite servers, see who's playing, check the server settings and join it on the fly at any time. Further more it allows you to use rcon on any server in your list (of course, as long as you have the rcon password). Ultra Utility's rcon feature is the one of the only ones with support for 'multi-word passwords'. Ultra Utility's game launcher lets you specify which mod to load on startup, and which server to connect to (if any), so you can be on any server you like with any mod pre-loaded on the fly! Then there is a nice feature for people who run clans: the clan manager. Now don't be fooled by the name, it is simply a place where you can store information about your clan, such as the server and website, ranks, members, clan wars (TFFA's), and more. You can optionally export the clan manager info and share it with clan members (who also have Ultra Utility). Ultra Utility also contains a minimizer (with resolution changing support!) which can be activated either by command (!mini) or by a hotkey. Ultra Utility allows you to set hotkeys for certain tasks, such as the in-game menu and minimizer (as said above), but also for media operations (play/pause, stop, next, previous). This way you don't have to spam the !next and !prev commands to switch songs, but simply press the hotkey instead. Furthermore you can make Ultra Utility remember stuff for you by setting reminders (it basically works like a note block), so you don't need to have pen and paper around if you need to write something down. You can also set 'allies', which will be greeted when they enter the server you're in, and will get alternative kill messages (if specified). For the people that modify maps (either using BSP editing techniques, or lugormod/makermod), Ultra Utility provides many commands to make things easier. Ultra Utility can show entity information (and a lot of it), list entities in the current snapshot (as well as the amount), search for entities using a certain model, effect or sound, or give info of the entity you're aiming at. Furthermore Ultra Utility can be very helpful if you're trying to place brush entities, as it can calculate the origin you need to specify to move a certain bmodel (*xx) to its target location (with rotation optionally) Ultra Utility allows you to change your chat messages, either by changing their color, or by applying a style to them (a prefix and suffix). So you can type in your preferred color (non-green) or add some fancy things to your chat messages. (Note: this only works for public chat messages and only if they're typed using the chatbox itself, /say commands are not styled) Ultra Utility also provides a terminal so you can easily change the settings, check out your media info and view your KT stats on the fly using a UI plug-in (requires a pk3 which can be downloaded from the website) And last but not least (in this summary) is the skinning system. If you like to give Ultra Utility a personal touch, you can change the looks of the main window using the skin creator, or download skins created by others. This and more awaits you in Ultra Utility v3 (Beta 16) Changes and features in Beta 16: Highly advanced kill tracker Long name support Support for every language, including mods (Language independent) Does not rely on the console for its information, and can therefore not be faked Weapon statistics are tracked Kill stats for humans and bots are tracked separately Suicides are tracked Team kills and team deaths are tracked Vehicle kills are tracked Duels are tracked Support for non-standard duel ends (duel separation, a player joins spec/disconnects, etc.) CTF stats are tracked Customizable kill messages, with support for ordinal numbers (xxth) 3 Message modes: Off, Private chat and Public chat Player stats are tracked and can easily be viewed, sorted, etc Can be turned on and off at will Advanced media player Formats supported: WAV, MP2, MP3, OGG, WMA, AAC, ASF, AIFF, MOD, S3M, XM, IT and MIDI Supports the import of M3U, PLS and WLP playlists 10-band equalizer with 18 presets Support for multiple playlists Add directories, with subdirectories included if you want (uses high-speed file scanner) CD-player Internet radio support Zero-Latency Sound Effects: Pitch Shifter, Low pass, High pass, Reverb, Distortion, Echo, Flange and Chorus Ability to change playback rate/frequency Analysis (Oscillators, spectral analysis, volume meters and voice print) In-game menu system Complete menu system featuring the following menus: Messages Broadcast messages (JA+ only at the moment) Emotes (Base/JA+ only at the moment) Team chat selector (JA+ only) Profile selector Rendering options - including: Basic cg_ and r_ settings Void color, white walls, global light, etc Wireframe and normals (fully functional) – available unless the server denies the usage of them (see below) Ability to unlock camera commands (cg_thirdpersonxxxx commands) Ability to unlock weather control (r_we) And more.. Server Information Player Information (+ homing system) When using the homing system, the targeted player is highlighted to make him/her easier to see Media player (+ overlay mode) Palette editor Download manager Player data monitor JA GPS And custom menus which you can create yourself Displayed and operated in the console Operated by the A-Z keys Fully restores the old console state when closed Can be activated using a hotkey or a command Can be turned on and off at will Advanced command system All commands use the classic ! (exclamation mark) prefix Commands are fully registered in-game and can be used in the console, binds, scripts, etc. Commands can be typed in chat (like classic kill trackers) Commands work properly when using chatstyles (see below) Response messages use a color scheme of 4 colors (which can be modified at will) Command responses have 3 message modes: Console, Private chat and Public chat Immune against faked commands (copying someone’s name and typing a command) Favorite server list Get server info easily (settings, players, allowed force-powers/weapons, etc) Send RCON commands easily (password is remembered per server ) RCON supports ‘multi-word’ passes Allows you to join a server on the fly with the right mod pre-loaded Allows you to give server ‘nicknames’ so you can address them in-game using commands (to query or join) You can add servers to the list in-game using commands (either the current server or with a specified IP) Clan manager Write down information about your clan, the website, the server, etc Keep track of members, clan wars (TFFA’s), new promotions, new recruits and more Export the clan manager data and share it with other Ultra Utility users in your clan Protect the clan manager data against editing by setting a password (if you want to share it for example) Duel Music Play your favorite tune while you’re dueling Can be to only play if you were already listening to music (in case you simply don’t want to hear music for the time being) Can be enabled and disabled in duel without mess-ups Allies Create a list of allies (friends) Set up a welcoming message for your allies/friends Set up custom kill/death messages for allies/friends Reminders Useful to store a message you want to remember, think of it as a notepad Console monitor

console to a file Minimizer Lets you minimize Jedi Academy any time you like If the desktop resolution differs from your game resolution, the minimize will automatically correct it (unless you tell it not to) Jedi Academy Launcher Launch Jedi Academy on the fly Preload any mod you like Connect to any server instantly Add your own custom command-line options If you get to the launcher though the favorite server list, the mod and server IP will automatically be set properly Hotkeys Set up hotkeys for: In-game menu on/off Ultra Utility on/off Media commands (play/pause, stop, next song and previous song) Minimizer Terminal Playtime tracker Keep track of the amount of time you’ve been playing Jedi Academy (with Ultra Utility running) Comes with 2 counters, a global and a session counter, so you can track your playtime during a certain period without losing the overall count Chat coloring and chat styles Chat coloring lets you chat in any color you wish (from ^0 to ^7) Chat styles let you add prefixes and suffixes to your chat messages Chat colors and chat styles are only applied on public chat that is spoken though the chat box (Y key by default), not messages said though the console or team/private chat (to prevent issues) Entity information commands Designed for map modders (BSP editing, lugormod and makermod users alike) and anyone else who’s interested in entities List

    OpenJO is the Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast version of OpenJK. All of the below is copied from the OpenJK page, but it all applies. Installation instructions should still apply to JK2, with different folder names for the games. This is for single player only. For multiplayer, please see JK2MV. OpenJK is an effort by the JACoders group to maintain and improve the game engines on which the Jedi Academy (JA) and Jedi Outcast (JO) games run on, while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the existing games.

    ORIGINAL AUTHOR: DARROW LINDER Date Created : February 22, 2006 Overview: --------- Ahhhhh... Finally done. 35 levels, 150000 brushes, 25000 lines of script, 40000 entities and 3000 hours of blood and sweat. EY:4 - The Lost Maps. Let's get this out of the way first. I know the download is big. Sorry. I've made every effort to keep the mod as small as possible. There are 20-30 hours of gameplay here, so it will be worth the download, I hope. If you played my first conversion, Escape: Yavin IV, then hold on to your hats. This is an extension of the first conversion, but includes 25 additional levels, a new story, vehicle levels, space levels, additional duels and puzzles, and customized interface (including a 'Chapters' menu that enables you to play any game level), on-the-fly saber upgrades, and three endings (that's right 'THREE' endings). Your choices during the game decide your fate. Given the length of the game, I have eased up on the difficultly of the game a bit (just a bit). Nuff said. Installation: ------------- BEFORE YOU INSTALL, YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Remove *all* custom pk3s and mods from your base / GameData folder 2. Remove *all* custom pk3s and mods from your base / GameData folder 3. Remove *ALL* custom pk3s and mods from your base / GameData folder Failure to do so will likely result in the game failing to even start. So please don't ask me why the game won't start if you haven't done this. To install this map, extract the contents of the ZIP file into the 'GameData' folder of your Jedi Academy install directory. Double-click the batch file in the GameData folder and you're on your way. I've been running with the 1.1 patch. If you don't have it, play at your own risk. Story: ------ Basically, the Sith have dominated the galaxy. The good guys (called the Alliance) are threatened. The game will feed you some hints that explain the reason for the Sith control. Of course, you have to come to the rescue to save the universe from total Sith control (oh, unless you choose to become a Sith). The rest of the story pretty much tells itself. Please note that if you choose to jump around the levels using the chapters menu, you will not get the entire story. Just keep that in mind. It is recommended you play through in normal game mode before jumping around. Gameplay: --------- In all, there are 38 levels (12 cinematic levels and 26 playable levels). Unlike the traditional game (JKIII), your saber upgrades occur as you defeat your opponents. Each level also offers your a chance to 'trade' your saber for one encountered up to that point in the game. Like the cool saber disc your opponent has? Defeat him, and take it! It's that simple. Issues: ------- There are two really big issues: 1. level2_saber_shipment always hangs for me when it is *not* loaded as the first level in the game. ** If this occurs, you can use the Chapters menu to start a new game from this point in the game. 2. After some time of playing, the game seems to 'hang' after about 90 seconds from a save point. It does not happen in the same level or in the same place in the level. The problem only occurs after playing and saving for SEVERAL HOURS continuously (essentially the same game). Restarting and loading the saved game does not correct the problem. ** If this occurs, you can use the Chapters menu to start a new game from where you left off. 3. My hard drive crashed and I lost *everything* associated with this game just a couple weeks ago. Fortunately, I had already posted a V4 Beta, so really what you are playing is Beta V4+ here. Everything pretty much works fine, but I lost all of the .map and script files. So... If you use the Chapters menu to start the ending levels of the game (Chapters 8 - 11), you'll need to use the cheats to setup your force powers. ** Bring up the console then type: > helpusobi 1 > setforceall 3 There's other little detailed things, most of which you probably won't even notice, so it's not worth mentioning... Credits: -------- Without these contributors, this game would not be. Beta Testers: ============= Tester #1 ............................ Theos Burgess Tester #2 ............................

    ORIGINAL AUTHOR: DARROW LINDER This is a new single player mission for Jedi Academy. It utilizes models, skins, and saber models that I found interested from the jk3files.com over the past year or so. The bits posted by other authors have been stripped down to their bare minimum, to keep the size of this mod down as much as possible. Some highlights: - New and different opponents / challenges in each level of the game - Custom SP maps (13 in all including 2 bonus and 1 cinematic level) - Custom missions with helper NPC's - Custom menus including saber descriptions - Custom saber models - Custom saber abilities - Custom sounds and sound effects - Custom music - Custom visual effects - Custom weapon effects - Custom skins - Custom cinematics (almost an hours worth throughout the game) - Custom HUD - Custom objectives (43 in all) - Secret areas included in nearly all the maps - Powerful sabers and force abilities from the beginning - Several opportunities to upgrade / replace your sabers - Over 20 new opponents with varying levels of difficulty - Approximately 10-14 hours of challenging game play A walkthrough is provided in GameData/escape when you install the mod. This mod is hard -- much more difficult than JA -- but very playable. So if you pick this up, expect something more challenging than what you're used to. Installation: ------------- To install this map, extract the contents of the ZIP file into the 'GameData' folder of your Jedi Academy install directory. Double-click the batch file in the GameData folder and you're on your way. ************************************************ PLEASE USE THE BATCH FILE TO LAUNCH AND RUN JA WITH THIS MOD PLEASE DO NOT USE WITH ANY OTHER JA MODIFICATION ************************************************ To un-install, simply remove the 'escape' folder and the .bat file from your GameData folder in your JA install directory. Story: ------ This starts out pretty much where Jedi Academy left off. It assumes you chose 'the dark side', stole the scepter, and went on your way of domination. Because of your dark ways, what was left of the imperial and rebel forces were destroyed by bands of cultists and other dark jedi. A powerful Sith gathered followers (called loyalists) and made a deal with you. Hand over the scepter, or die. Your life was spared, but the scepter is now in the hands of the Sith. He threw you in prison cell buried in the rugged mountains on the planet moon of Yavin to rot. Your force powers faded as the sith dominated planet after planet. You home is the last to be overthrown. In a deperate attempt to contact you, the queen from your home planet used her telepathic ability to send you a message. Your force powers have faded to the point where you can't receive the distress call. After years of meditation, you realize the error in your ways and wish to seek revenge on the Sith. An accident gives you a chance to escape. And this is where story begins... Gameplay: --------- In all, there are 13 levels (1 is a cinematic level only and two are 'bonus' levels that give you a chance to upgrade sabers). Each of the levels have anywhere from 3-8 objectives that must be fullfilled before proceeding. To estimate the length of the mod, from start to finish is probably somewhere between 10 and 14 hours. This entire mod is one very long mission broken up into 13 maps. The opponents get progressively more difficult (although your force powers and your opportunity for saber upgrades keeps the playing field somewhat fair) throughout the game. One hint: keep a close eye on your cursor for things to push or break -- it is sometimes required to continue on with the level. You may want to turn on force hint in your config (cg_crosshairForceHint) if you can't work things out. Enough said -- you can figure out the rest. GAMEPLAY: Issues: ------- There really aren't too many issues. I found a few bugs with JA itself. The noticable issues include: - JA crashes during simultaneous thermal detonator and saber throw effects - Saber properties sometimes ignored on restart of JA and loading saved game - JA leaks memory (I watched it). These maps are very large, and playing across several of the levels (like most of them) for an extended perior of time will lead to a decreased frame rate. Restarting JA corrects the problem. - Some of the cut scenes and cinematics are a little unstable. Some of the sound cuts out part way through and sometimes the NPC don't go to their specified navgoals. I don't know, maybe my problem, but they work sometimes, sometimes not. - There are a couple of brushes with issues. One causes a HoM effect (tiny little sliver of a brush in a massive area -- but you have to walk over it). A few brushes have some vertex problems, so there are gaps. I didn't bother to go back and fix them -- they are hardly noticeable and don't impact gameplay. There's close to 85000 brushes in this entire game and probably less that 10 with noticable issues. That's about all worth noting.

    Stalax

    Version 1.0

    32 downloads

    This mod was released back in December 2008. Since then, the author hasn't released any updates. Stalax v1.0 ----------- Here's the readme about Stalax, it tells the more important things about the installation and the modification's usage. 1 - Features ------------ The mod's main feature is Lua Scripting, you can do everything you want on your own server. And if you are a mapper, you can improve your maps' interactivity and make new features that you have never seen. There's a new bot system called AceBot, it has been ported into this mod and it's not stable at the moment. It has some good possibilities, the bot can make his waypoints itself by finding some possible holes in the map, and when he finds an enemy, he goes forward to it, not like the original Jedi Academy bots. 2 - To Do --------- A perfect physics engine could come soon, but not quickly. I will do my possible to make sure that he would be perfect, since the Quake III Engine needs a better collision detection and we could make more and more crazy stuff like vehicles, ropes,... maybe endless possibilities. 3 - Running the Demo -------------------- To run the demo, simply launch "Stalax Demo.bat", it will load Jedi Academy under Stalax with the sta_tour map. In this map you will see some scripts I made and commented for you : .. Password Terminal with the console - move near the terminal, make sure that you put your crosshair on it, open your console and type "/input" with your password. The good password is "goodpwd", I think you'll need it in order to go to the next level. .. Chat Password Terminal - more comfortable way, it's the same Password Terminal, but you just have to use it with your USE button, look at it, and say the password in the chat. Like if you want to say it to everyone but the message will be canceled so the players won't see it. .. Teleporter Terminal - a nice teleporter terminal with more choices, use it with your use button, look at it and type the number of your choice in the chat. .. NPC Conversation - now you can talk to NPCs and make them react with the things you tell them. Use Luke with your use button, and tell him to open the door by typing the number of the choice you want to make. .. Item Grabbing - Ha! Something like Portal, not perfect, but as always, the physics engine is still missing :-(. Grab the crate with the USE button, move near the blue button located right the door and drop it with the USE button again. If you remove it, the door will be closed. The mapsource of sta_tour is included into the maps folder. That's it for the demo, I will add more and more examples in newer versions. I hope you like them. 4 - Installing a script ----------------------- I think the method to install a script is really the easiest. Guess how ? Simply put the .lua script into the Stalax/lua/global folder. The server will load it automatically. If it's a script only for a map and if you want the server loads it only if the specific map is loading, then create a folder into "lua", having the map's name. For example, if you want to make a script only for t2_trip, create a folder named "t2_trip" into "lua" (Should look like lua/t2_trip) and place your map's scripts into that folder. If it's for a mp map like mp/ffa3, just do "lua/mp/ffa3" (ffa3 into the mp folder). 5 - Documentation ----------------- I'm sorry if the documentation is not really complete, there's a lot about the Entity and Client commands, and I don't really have the time to finish it properly. But I'm always ready to help you and give you more infos about commands right into the forums. You can find the documentation there : www.stalax.net/doku.php?id=docs [WEBSITE IS NO LONGER ONLINE] And the whole Stalax community there : www.stalax.net/forums/ [WEBSITE IS NO LONGER ONLINE] You will find a lot of scripts, tutorials and solved problems into the forums. I hope you'll enjoy it. Eltran

    **Requires the original version of Knights of the Force 2.0, which is currently the only way to play it properly. While it is possible to use this expansion pack with other mods and the regular game, it will not be fully playable in the way it was intended, as the necessary files that were specifically created for KotF 2.0 are missing. Since the original mod is no longer in development, official updates for this expansion pack are not possible.** **To play this expansion pack without KotF 2.0, simply take the file "KotF_TheForceUnleashed.pk3" and put it in the base folder. Then change the name to "_KotF_TheForceUnleashed.pk3" (adding the _ makes the file load first and prevents the game from crashing before the menu shows up). The first part of the mission is mostly playable and functional. The second part is also playable, but some codes are missing to make it work 100%.** ******************* OVERVIEW ******************* A new years gift for all the Kotf fans. in the new year, you will get to play The Force Unleashed in the PC. This is a KotF mod's mission pack. in order to play, you need Knights of the force mod installed in your PC. This mod is made by the effects and methods you never saw in Jedi Academy before. Alot of the scenes will suprise you. this is the result of 2,5 months of work. this mod is done by adapting "sith-J-Cull"s Kashyyyk map (made in 2005 ) into singleplayer with reedit. I used all the parts of that map. And so the Force Unleashed's first Darth Vader level is adopted into Kotf. I am not planning on making other Force Unleashed levels. First level's scenario is extended for a more gripping and enjoyable gameplay. There are extra levels and missions. Game starts with the sliding text of the force unleashed. You control Darth Vader and your mission is to find and eleminate the Jedi hiding amongst the wookiees in Kashyyyk. But this is not as easy as it sounds. You need to think, move and control the force like Darth Vader would. Becouse the wookiee army is made of soldiers with excelent aim. they dont stand idle when they see you, they come close and shoot. they aren't target dummies like the stormtroopers in jedi knight academy. Sometimes they even dodge the light saber. This makes the game all the more realistic and enjoyable. Also there are 3 new Camera angles. Play in different views and increase the fun. I recommend "Darklord" angle to make you feel like Darth Vader Himself. Furthermore there are lots of suprises in the scenerio. You move according to the data coming from your radio and datapad. Press the "M" button to see your missions. You will hear Darth Vader's breathing just like in the original game. You can ride 3 vehicles with Darth Vader. You Can Dog Fight with your Tie Fighter, You can ride your Swoop in the woods and last you can ride an AT-ST and command your troops. This mod's weapon effects are enchanted with "Ultimate Weapons mod". Especially check out the thermal detonator's effect in the combat. But you need a good video card and a CPU or you might have to play with low FPS. Force Powers are even more enjoyable now. you can force grip and push wookiees into the sky or sea. You might notice the wookiee sounds and a wookiee falling down when you blow up a ship during a dogfight. i tried my best for the most realistic combat possible. there are lasers coming from everywhere. Don't let your guard down, even a moment of distraction might cost you your life. new soldiers fills their brothers' places and the map never gets empty. so when you play the whole map you never get alone. To make it harder and realistic, i removed the quicksave option. There are checkpoints after certain places and obstacles. you don't have to start all over after you die. you just start from the last checkpoint. I made the stormtrooper voices (English) with my friends. The accent's not perfect but the sounds coming from the radio and the game's own sounds do the job futermore you will hear Vaders original lines. All the lines will also be subtitled in english Have fun and a happy new year. ************************************** SOME TIPS BEFORE YOU START PLAYING ************************************** First of all dont let your guard down.Becouse the wookiee army is made of soldiers with excelent aim. they dont stand idle when they see you, they come close and shoot. they aren't target dummies like the stormtroopers in jedi knight academy. Sometimes they even dodge the light saber. This makes the game all the more realistic and enjoyable. Note: By choosing the "Realistic Lightsaber mod" you can deal more damage with your saber. When you are in combat you dont have the time to look at the health bar and especially while using "Force Grip" you leave yourself defenceless and a single lucky shot can get you killed. If you don't use "Force Heal" often and move around rapidly you die in a short time. Don't stand idle, deflect the laser with your lightsaber and don't do useless moves. When you miss a Wookiee soldier there is a %70 chance that you will be hit. If a wookie keeps dodging your saber, movearound him using combos. Note: To move faster hold "shift" button down. It's not an easy level. You need to bring your A game. You need to use both your saber and force powers cunningly. my advice to you would be to assign 2,3,4 buttons above q,w,e for "force push", "force grip" and "force heal". This way you can easyly heal yourself and lash the wookiees aroundwith your powers. when you "force push" a wookiee right after a "force grip" before he falls down, you will see him fly for meters. ******************* INSTALLATION ******************* NOTE: STAR WARS® JEDI KNIGHT®: JEDI ACADEMY™ AND KNIGHTS OF THE FORCE MOD MUST BE INSTALLED AND RUNNING ON YOUR PC IN ORDER TO RUN THIS MOD. Run tfusetup.exe ********************************************************************************** CREDITS ********************************************************************************** Original map : James Culley (Sith-J-Cull) 2005 UltimateWeapons: Kahn D'halaine

    Author: Steven Brown (Blaster) Date Of Release: August 2004 Description: This is the sequel to my singleplayer map 'The Dark Alliance'. If you have not yet played 'The Dark Alliance' then I suggest you download and play it before you play this one. Also you may want to play 'The Mainframe 2.0' before you play 'The Dark Alliance' to have the ultimate experience. You can get them from the following websites: The Mainframe The Dark Alliance I hope you enjoy the final part of the Dark Alliance Trilogy just as much as I did making it. - Blaster Story: After the events at Narshaddaa the New Republic found that Tavion had somehow been able to clone Darth Vader. The Vader Clones are now being used as frontline troops for the Dark Alliance forces. With the death of their leader Tavion, the Dark Alliance are somehow still able to function and are taking control of countless star systems throughout the galaxy. The Jedis numbers are thin but with the help of Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn, the Jedi are still managing to hold their own against the almighty Dark Alliance. The New Republic now fear that the Dark Alliance may close in and try to seize the power from the Valley of the Jedi. This must not be allowed to happen. And so the New Republic have decided that it is time for the Valley to be destroyed. Countless Jedi Knights now keep watch over the demolition operation to hold back any attack that may come from the Dark Alliance. The New Republic have enlisted the help of Mara Jade to also assist with the operation and she is now traveling to the Valley of the Jedi to witness the destruction of the main Valley's fountain of power. FEAR IS THE PATH TO THE DARK SIDE. FEAR LEADS TO ANGER, ANGER LEADS TO HATE, HATE LEADS TO SUFFERING. - JEDI MASTER YODA Additional Credits: I am in no way responsible for the other models and MODS that have been included in this MOD.

Using Winzip or WinRAR, unzip the 'Vots' folder and the 'Vots.bat' file into the JK3/GameData folder. Then simply double click the 'Vots.bat' icon to play. Once installed I recommend seeing how the game will be easier using either the staff or dual lightsabers that it may be best playing the game on 'Jedi' difficulty with the single saber and play the game on 'Jedi Knight' difficulty while using the saber staff or dual sabers. When selecting the single saber style please note that the style you decide to choose will be the only fighting style you will use throughout the whole level! <<<!!!MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENABLED SUBTITLES IN THE GAME OPTIONS MENU, AS THEY ARE NEEDED FOR THE CUTSCENE DIALOGUE!!!>>> Construction Information: Known Bugs: If there are any slowdowns try turning off 'dynamic glow' in the 'video options' menu. You may want to skip certain cutscenes by pressing the use button. However the screen may appear to freeze but will have the words 'skipping cinematic' at the top. It hasn't froze, this is normal. You should just be patient and allow the cutscene to skip, which will happen after a few seconds. When part 4 is loading you may or may not have some problems. The briefing screen may freeze or you may get a 'CL_GetServerCommand:a reliable command was cycled out' error that will prevent you from going onto part 4. If this happens then you can try one of four things. Bring down the console with the combination of the 'left shift' and ` keys and then type in "map part_4" without the quotes and then press enter. If this doesn't work then try again but as it is trying to load, hit the 'escape' key to return back to the main menu and then try the above console command from the main menu. Quit the game and then reload the level. Restart the computer Reinstall the game and/or the MOD.

    Author: Steven Brown (Blaster) Date Of Release: November 2002 Description: This is the sequel to my singleplayer map 'The Mainframe 2.0'. If you have not yet played 'The Mainframe 2.0' then I suggest you download and play it before you play this one. You can get it from the following websites: The Mainframe The Dark Alliance II: Vengeance of the Sith I hope you enjoy this map just as much as I did making it.... no really I did! - Blaster Story: A year has passed since the encounter with Darth Vader at the mainframe complex on Kejim. It has remained a mystery to how Darth Vader was somehow brought back to life and the Republic have found no leads to the location of Tavion. UNTIL NOW! A smuggler known as Marlow Baruk, brother of Reelo Baruk, has been receiving large quantities of Imperial equipment. Republic spies have found that Tavion, along with her new forces, have been negotiating with the smuggler in a quiet part of Narshaddaa. It is believed that she is giving Imperial equipment to Marlow in order for her to create a secret base underneath Marlow's own hideout and are allying their forces together in an attempt to start a war against the New Republic. If this kind of act is to occur then who knows what will happen. An offensive has not been easy and all attempts to inspect Marlow's hideout are at a loss. He refuses to co-operate. The Republic has no choice but to send in someone to investigate. Kyle is now a Jedi mercenary agent working for the New Republic and they have called for his skills in dealing with these matters and besides Kyle has some unfinished business with Tavion. The mission is not going to be easy. First Kyle must inspect Marlow's hideout and see if he can find Marlow himself and interrogate him. Then if possible he must apprehend Tavion inside her secret base and send a signal to blue squad, so they can take control of the base and investigate what Tavion has been up to. Marlow's hideout will be well guarded and the entrance will surely be hidden. Additional Credits: I am in no way responsible for the other models and MODS that have been included in this MOD.
