This mod is not for Jedi Outcast!

Jedi Knight Enhanced is a graphical overhaul for the game Jedi Knight: Dark forces 2

The mod features higher poly models, and higher resolution 16 bit textures. It aims for "Quake 3 era" graphics. (Or if you prefer, similar to JO/JA)

All models and sprites work with the original animations, sounds, etc.

It is the aim of this mod to be compatable with vanilla Jedi Knight, as well as any other modifications and levels.

At the time of the current beta (0.06) The mod has so many resources that the game can't load them all. However, a patch has been developed that allows all the resources to load.

Features include:

  • All dynamic models replaced, such as players, enemies, weapons, vehicles, and projectiles.
  • All new higher resolution sprites.
  • Much larger sky textures

Jedi Knight Enhanced is a modification for Jedi Knight Dark Forces II.

This mod replaces the original Jedi Knight models with higher poly versions, and higher resolution textures. It just makes the game more appealing to play!

Two years in the making, JKE replaces all the models for players, enemies, NPC's, weapons, projectiles, and vehicles. Also included are all new sprites, skies, and 16 bit sabers.

So bust out that copy of Jedi Knight. (You know you have one somewhere!) And give this great game another play through.

Will this mod render my beloved Saber Battle X mod un-usable, or would SBX diminish the improved graphics this mod provides?

Everyone, you can purchase Jedi Knight from LucasArts for only $10. Cheap, and well worth it!

There is no texture size limit, thanks to the patch! However, level textures are a little tricky.

Basically, if a texture was originally 256x256 (The old max) Then a larger texture will fit within the same space, and tile / line up correcly. (This is how the new skies work.)

Anything smaller than 256x256, which are most of the level textures, will not line up correctly if made larger. So you would have to reduce them to the original size. They would still look much better though, because all of the old textures are 8-bit.

Maybe I'll create an account over there, I'd love to start playing some JK online again. So, I think I'll be doing some remakes of environmental textures, any idea what the size limit is? Thanks!

Oh, it hasn't been abandoned at all, there are loads of projects in the works at the JK Editing Hub

I personally am not working on this any more (it was a LOT of work!) But I will take any models or textures anyone would like to donate, and add it to a 1.1 release, if I get enough. There was a separate project on the hub for textures, but I think it may be dead now.

Glad you like the mod! I'd like to see people playing multiplayer again, JK trumps all the other jedi games for speed, which makes it a blast.
