Well I got bored making music video-style videos for Jedi Academy, so I thought a little uniqueness was in order. This video is a combination of filmed action from Jedi Academy and photoshopped frame-by-frame sections. The video was meant to, as accurately as possible, give Jedi Academy that Final Fantasy VII feel.
 
To compelete the "FF7 Look" the Cloud/Sephiroth models have been used, as well as the Advent Children Weapons Pack. The good old-fashioned FF7 battle theme might make one believe they were really watching a FF7 gameplay clip instead of a Jedi Academy video. And what Final Fantasy battle is complete without the ever-present victory fanfare?
 
At the end of the battle you will come to the experience screen, but here in Jedi Academy things are a little.... different.

I've always been very interested with medieval and older times. I had at one time dreamt of a mod of such a thing. I've realized that probably won't happen, but in the mean time I felt like releasing these models for public use, in case it spurs some properly themed maps. They are free for use (see Distribution Notes for more info). Bare in mind that certain of the models (targets, campfire, and dummy) are better suited with a modelscale of approximately 1.5. The rest seem adequately sized, unless you prefer a larger tent .

I love Knights of the Old Republic. It's a great game, and I think it needs some JA lovin'. However I'm very much anti-ports, so I'm hoping these original models, made from scratch over several weeks, will prompt mappers to take the ball into their own court and produce some excellent replicas using their own work.
 
Included Models:
Workbench
Computer console
Three storage containers
Kolto tank
Hangar thing from Davik's estate

This pack contains five map objects, all of which are instruments seen throughout the Star Wars Universe. SWG players will recognize these as instruments from the game, however they are also prominently displayed in film and other EU sources. The nalargon in particular is a mixture of canon and SWG styles. All wind instruments include a straight up and down version, and a leaning version.

I originally intended to do a tree pack, but I really dislike trees in general. I never was a big fan of botany. As a result, all that ever got finished was this pine tree. It is a single pine, which I tried to make as efficiently as possible to reduce unnecessary lag when used. It's very simple, but doesn't look too bad, all things considered.

This is the T-21 light repeating blaster, also known as the T-21 rifle in Star Wars Galaxies (no worries, I didn't base it off of that). It was a large and very powerful blaster used by Stormtroopers. This particular gun replaces the concussion rifle, because based on its description that seemed to be the most realistic replacement. It includes new icons as well as new strings.

This is a model of a pickhammer, one of the variety of weapons that can be found in the game Fable: The Lost Chapters. There are two different versions of the weapon included: the steel pickhammer and the master's pickhammer. Both models are completely custom made, from mesh to texture, using Fable assets as reference material only. These blades use default sword sounds from the base game and are not throwable (it's a big steel hammer - it's heavy!).

Well, jedikiller just recently made a noghri skin with an animal-type theme, and seeing as how I can't resist tiger textures I decided to follow suit. This skin comes with BOT, team, and fuzzy kitty sound support. No NPCs this time, unfortunately.

My very first released mod was this skin — a composite armor skin. It was made with the shadowtrooper model and was photosourced from game screenshots.

I don't expect a lot of people to know what this is or appreciate it, but those of you who *do* know what it is should enjoy it. This is the Shrike, Mara Jade's starfighter as seen in the Jedi Knight expansion Mysteries of the Sith. It's an Alpha-52 starfighter, loaned to her by Talon Karrde.
 
I've tried to keep it accurate to the original model (check it out on wookieepedia if you aren't sure what it's supposed to look like) but I did take some slight liberties with the texture where original detail was hard to see and/or my 'accuracy' made it look dumb.

Kane was a dark Jedi training at the Sith Academy on Korriban during the Jedi Civil War. His masters saw such promise in him that they rewarded him with this special Sith lightsaber, which contains engravings of a section of the Sith code. Shortly after Kane left the academy and the Sith entirely, though he kept the lightsaber for quite some time.

This is a model of the Final Fantasy 12 variant of the Buster Sword, as wielded by Gilgamesh in the 'Ancient Man of Mystery' hunt. It is very similar to the Final Fantasy 7 version, but with some minor details. It has been made to look as similar to the original version as possible, given the restrictions of the engine, and I attempted to keep the polycount as low as possible without sacrificing too much of the detail.

This is Yun's lightsaber from the game Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. I made it from only one reference picture, so I hope it's accurate. It features a chrome shader as well as a specular shader, so there should be no lack of shininess.

This is a model of the Red Power Ranger from the series Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. If anyone out there has never heard of this series... I pity you immensely. I used to watch it when I was probably about 7 or 8 years old, so out of the blue one day I decided to model the Red Ranger. No particular reason, I just did.

This model is rather self-explanatory once you look at it. It's a player model of a cat-person. That is a humanoid feline. It comes in three different flavors: Puma (default), Panther (blue team), and Tiger (red team).

A lot of you, as I know, don't have a clue what this fighter is or where it came from. It was originally from an early Star Wars game, Rebel Assault II, made in 1995. It's actually a pretty good game, but the fighter always made me drool and I've been semi-obsessed with it ever since. Several good models have been made for X-wing Alliance, but I decided Jedi Academy needed one too, and the current model of it is just so insufferably inaccurate that it made want to pull all of my hair out and donate it to the bald.
 
V-38 and Phantom variations are included (see comments section for more information on the special features of the Phantom variation).
 
This TIE, classified as an assault fighter due to its heavy weaponry, shields, and hyperdrive, has a three-pronged wing arrangment. It sports three wing-tip laser cannons and two chin-mounted cannons, generally used as ion cannons. Its hyperdrive is outfitted such that it can make only a few short jumps if need be. During one of Lord Vader's failed campaigns, a modified version of this fighter, called the TIE Phantom, was put into mass production. This fighter, while less powerful in armory, had the added bonus of a fully functional cloaking system which rendered it next to invisible to most scanners. Before the TIEs could reach their full potential, however, two Rebel agents destroyed the production facility the TIEs were being produced at. All of these Phantom TIEs were believed to be destroyed.

For those of you who are Dungeons & Dragons fans, Neverwinter Nights fans, or just fantasy fans in general, this is a little guy we like to call a kobold. Kobolds are portrayed differently by different people, but this is a version leaning more towards D&D, based heavily on Neverwinter Nights with modifications to fit the Jedi Academy skeleton.
 
If you have played Shadows of Undrentide or Hordes of the Underdark, you may recognize this model's sounds as being those of the kobold bard Deekin. I wasn't planning on using his sounds at first, but due to popular demand (and he just sounds so funny) I decided to use them anyhow, so a BIG thanks to BioWare. We love you, BioWare.

Swoops are fun, but I needed something new. So suddenly it occured to me that a hoverboard, as a swoop replacement (or even its own vehicle) would be really cool. And so a little hoverboard was born! It hovers, it glows, it hums, and it sinks in water (for those who were worried!).

This is a pack of some of my favorite melee weapons - not just swords! - that I've modeled over the months. It includes some swords I've arleady released, like both of Aribeth's swords from Neverwinter Nights, and some new never-before-released material, such as three Kit Rae swords.

The R41 Starchaser is a starfighter comparable to the Z-95 Headhunter. In fact the R41 was created to directly compete with the Z-95 for king of the low-budget starfighters. It was slightly faster and slightly more powerful, thus making it a popular choice for smugglers, pirate, and criminal organization, such as Black Sun.
 
Because of its status as a budget fighter, the R41 is generally "personalized" by whoever is using it. The producers of the R41, Heorsh-Kessel Drive Inc, creates them this way, so everything from the armament to the hyperdrive can be customized by the buyer. As a result almost no two R41 Starchasers are quite the same.

So I'm sure you're saying "oh man, not *another* Thrawn skin". And for the most part you're right on the money - it's basically the same skin that's been relased over and over and over. However I like to think I've added a couple of features that you haven't seen before. Feature 1: An authentic Thrawn taunt from LucasArts' TIE Fighter. Feature 2: A new face, so Thrawn is no longer the Chiss bartender wearing a Grand Admiral suit. The face was done completely from scratch, which took the majority of the time. The rest of it's mostly a recolor, as there's really no point in doing it any other way. The rank on the uniform should be accurate, however, which is another thing a lot of Thrawn skins lack.

It's a crossbow. It should have most, if not all, of the appropriate parts, as I tried to make it as accurate as possible. It also actually fires bolts (for the uninformed, these are like arrows... except bulkier). This replaces the blaster rifle.

Firstly I'd like to say I'm not an alcoholic. That said, everyone's favorite drink is beer -- either because they drink it, or they're underaged and think it's the epitome of alcoholic beverages. To those people -- I do not advocate underaged drinking and you should avoid doing so! To those of you who actually *like* beer and are able to drink it legally, the bottle featured here is the Samuel Adams Octoberfest... because I like it. See the bottom of the read-me if you dislike that brand.
 
This pack contains four weapons -- two beer bottle weapons and two beer-on-a-stick weapons. Each has a regular bottle version and a broken bottle version. Let the barfights ensue!

This is a very simple mod to replace the energy cell (or blaster pack) ammunition model with a model of several thermal clips instead from Mass Effect. This is designed to be used with my Mass Effect gun models, however if you want I see no reason you couldn't use it without them.
 
Try it with any or all of the following Mass Effect themed mods for the full effect:

This pack contains a BFG which will replace the concussion rifle. It's got green glowy parts and a nice little touchpad up top that ought to keep y'all amused for short periods of time. Contains custom icons and an edited strings file so it has its name instead of just being labeled as the conc rifle.
