This is absolutely stunning, awesome work!

A Jedi Academy version would not only be interesting, but it could make the best of the potential this mod has. This game is more focused on acrobatics and lightsaber combat than Jedi Outcast, so it would be fitting.

@tinny, here are some suggestions:

• Make the slow motion feature the game has optional. With that, I mean the one that occurs during the advanced force jump (the one that makes you jump further).
• Get rid of the panning camera during that advanced force jump and during the kung fu fights.

 

Most of this stuff should easily be wrapped up in cvars to toggle things that one person might fun and another distracting.

Put a poll over here for possible JA release:

Hey friends,

Recently I release the Shoot Dodge mod for Outcast here.  Initially I figured it was only fun for the early levels of Jedi Outcast when you have no force powers but I found it synergized really well with force powers.   A couple people have commented on how they're waiting on it being released for JA instead.  Would you download it in a JA release?

Also a few features I'd like to add for a JA release are:

• Dual wielding like the cultist commandos do
• Shoot dodges from the new acrobatics you can do in JA
• Build on top of the JOA mod after asking the author's permission for a seamless Outcast and Academy experience
• Have NPCs that use shoot dodges in combat (Kyle, mercenaries, etc)

Let me know your thoughts!  Trying to gauge interest in whether to continue this project.

Download here: 

The last major feature I was working on before release was sound dilation during bullet time:
 

Description has some of the tech details but let me know if you'd like to know more.  Got feedback from a tester and release should be imminent.

I finished up most of the polish, I need a couple of volunteers to beta test the mod to find glitches.  I've tested it pretty well so hoping for no major surprises.  I'll take a couple volunteers but you will need a copy of JO installed for a 64 bit version of Windows (not JA, hoping to make a future release for it) and DM your email to send a link and instructions.  After a couple days of testing I should be able to do a general release this week.

This is really cool!  Noob mapping/modeling question, will this allow blender to be used for mapping?  I really thought blender could only be used as a model importer/exporter.  Didn't know an entire map could be treated as one.

This looks so cool!

So close!  Have some minor cosmetics to implement and bugs to fix but it's turning out great.  Base gameplay is a blast but how bullet time synergizes with force powers also is so much fun!  Here's a new trailer for you guys and gals:

This is a really cool addition to gameplay! Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to change the vanilla rolling to essentially work like Dark Souls? Basically, being able to roll at any angle and quickly recover to lead into an attack. This would add an interesting layer of depth to both lightsaber and blaster combat, and it would compliment this dive ability really well. If possible, have it so that it doesn't kill momentum too much if you're going at full speed too, as that's something I always found annoying about rolling and wall running in Vanilla.

Hey @Droidy365, having a little trouble understanding.  Lightsaber/gun recovery from a roll is pretty quick but you'd like the momentum to be retained as much as possible like a Parkour roll like in the 3D Mario games?  Sorry I haven't played Dark Souls.

Hey everyone, just a status update.  It looks like there will most likely be a delay and ETA might be shifted from Christmas to New Years.  I've done most of the code and animations in Blender but struggling with the following:

• Transitions between animations in air look really robotic and janky and looking at different options on smoothing it out
• Still have to work out the gameplay with how shoot dodging will work with force speed
• Gameplay balance

Sorry for the delay!

Thanks a bunch!

Hey everyone, I imported the glm and specified the gla and frames of the animation I wanted to use as the base of a new animation.  On import whenever I translate the object it translates it for all the other frames as well.  I'm guessing I'm missing something simple, what options do a I toggle to only translate the model one frame at a time?  Thanks!

This is on another level, I would love to see this at JKA, it's still just beautiful work, congratulations.

Thanks man!

Oh no, the multiplayer mode is Movie Battles actually!
What I am talking about is this one: https://www.moddb.com/mods/movie-duels
100% singleplayer mod.
The code developer is Jace Soloaris: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHSZDdH3ny-Vg-YaLQkh9-g?reload=9&reload=9 
Look by yourself. Many interesting features, but most of them are sabercombat-oriented

This looks spectacular, it's obvious the author put a lot of love into the mod.  That would be cool to do a collaboration in the future.

wow nice work,im a huge Payne fan

Thanks man!  That game definitely needs way more recognition.

Hi St. Ivan!  I've been out of the modding loop for a decade or so but started picking it up during quarantine.  By MD2 do you mean the Movie Duels team?  If so their mod is more multiplayer and mine is single player.  The code I've written wouldn't port over well plus if you're gaming with others they might get annoyed if everyone slows down in time if only a few people keep doing shoot dodges.  Thank you so much for the compliments!

This is pretty cool, you mentioned it's an extraction objective for siege.  Will that involve the prisoner from the show?

Edit Jan/2021 - new trailer released here:
 

Hey everyone!  First time poster and long time lurker here and hope you are doing well.  I love Jedi Outcast but before you get your lightsaber and force powers the early levels felt really bland.  Around the same time JO was released, another one of my favorite games came out called Max Payne which had a gameplay feature called shoot dodging. Inspired by cinematography from John Woo movies, the staple of the game was you could temporarily slow down time and dive while shooting which provided tons of defensive and offensive capabilities during gun fights.  I've implemented some of it but it still requires a lot of polish.  ETA is Christmas of this year:
 

You can make JA/GLA animations in blender?

That makes perfect sense, thanks Xycaleth!

Hey guys, so Raz0r mentioned that a new coop branch of OpenJK is here:

https://github.com/Razish/OpenJK/tree/coop

Does this branch get updated by the main OpenJK branch?  Also i think i remember Eezstreet saying that fixes to get sp working in mp as GT_SINGLE_PLAYER were considered legit fixes, why have a separate branch when it can be committed in the main OpenJK branch?
