Cutscenes

From Jedi Knight Wiki | JKHub

A cutscene refers to an in-game cinematic sequence. There are two kinds of cutscene used in Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast.

  1. Full motion video, using .roq files
  2. Cinematic scenes rendered within the game engine run by ICARUS scripting, using NPC characters.

Cutscenes play out encounters or story line events in a way that the player cannot interact with. If g_subtitles is toggled to "1", the game will display the subtitles for any dialogue in the chosen language.
