OpenJKDF2: Github.com
OpenJKDF2 is a function-by-function reimplementation of DF2 in C, with 64-bit ports to MacOS and Linux. Files are organized as closely to the original game as possible, based on symbols from the Grim Fandango Remaster Android/Linux/macOS port, as well as scattered assertions from various other games. It also contains the original versions of byacc and flex used for COG script parsing.
Enhancement Mod for JkGfxMod (JK Edition) 1.0
Moddb.com
Features higher detail models from JKE and the JK community in addition to readjusted lightsabers, muzzle flashes and Explosions.
Jedi Knight Neural Upscale Texture Pack
Moddb.com
This is a replacement texture pack for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. These textures were upscaled using ESRGAN and a custom model. This texture pack is intended for use by mod authors as a base for their own high-resolution retexture projects. Although this texture pack is usable without further changes, the textures in this pack are quite raw. Most of them have artifacts from the upscaling process, which in a complete effort should be manually removed by an artist.

JKDF2 Remastered 3.3 Released!
I am super excited to announce a new and improved version that actually has some good graphical changes as well as much needed fixes that should help people that were having trouble with the mod to now be able to run it no problem!
Changes
Big changes to the latest Release! New comer to the Jedi Knight Modding community Vurt has overhauled a bunch of he Jedi Knight Upscale Textures and made them even more detailed and enhanced. These of course have been added to the mod with permission of course. Check out a some of the changes below:
His Mod adds 720 new textures for the game, basically overhauling almost the entire game apart from some of the smaller details where graphics aren't as noticeable. We also have added some fixes that were spotted and fixed by blackhawk3d1. Weegee Model got messed up in 3.2 for some reason. He also fixed some of the other Textures on the doors and switches that Vurt missed!
Another slight change added to the Mod is a new Kyle Model. The other Kyle had slightly bigger eyes and the detail was kind of low. The New Kyle is now full HD and looks very nice! The Mod has several different versions but I decided to go with the AKyleHD2-HighRes-Tan-Shirt version since it was not overly pixelated like the Extreme High Res option but if you like to change that to one of the other versions you can download the mod here and simple add the other version you like to the Mod! -HD Kyle Addon
Major Fix - Textures Not Showing up Appdata Install Issue
So on older versions of OpenJKDF2 you had the install the game files in the %appdata%/Roaming/openjkdf2/ folder which made it difficult to install the mod since I would then have the make sure the installer installed the Graphical updates to the Appdata folder as well. But with the latest version of OpenJKDF2 as long as you have OpenJKDF2 files installed in the JK Root Directory (Ex: Steam C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Jedi Knight) it should no longer try to install files in the Appdata folder and instead run the mod with the game files in the Root Directory! This means those who were having trouble getting the graphical updates to show it was probably because you installed the Mod in the Root JK Directory causing OpenJKDF2 to not have to move the game files which then made it so all the mod files were not loading since they were installed in the Appdata folder that is no longer needed! Therefore, we now have a way better user friendly installer that should not give us much trouble since we only have to worry about making sure you select the JK Root Directory! All that being said please read the installation Guide before you install so you have an idea on where you need to install the Mod!

Great mod! But is it normal to have no weapon sway at all? I remember that in the original, if you unlocked the frame rate, the gun would sway like crazy, but with this mod the guns are just static when moving. Just checking if this is intended or not.
Hi Druid -- I made a similar observation and comment back in January 2024 on another comment thread here. I actually know a way to add weapon sway back in, but it's tedious. I hope General Tantor will consider integrating it in a future update.
Here is the pertinent comment I made previously if you're curious. It's a bit confusing and technical -- suffice it to say, I had to modify the weapon cog parameters.

Amazing job as always (haven't played this since the 1.0 release but I'm excited by all the updates). One thing I notice straight off the bat though is the complete elimination of the weapon sway. I know some players don't care for weapon sway, but to me having it completely absent seems unsettling (ironically, older versions of JK Remastered I think had the problem of too much weapon sway).
I believe the latest version of openjkdf2 fixed the problems which are located in the weapon animation cogs. The cogs are as follows:
weap_bryar.cog, weap_concrifle.cog, weap_crossbow.cog, weap_fists.cog, weap_raildet.cog, weap_repeater.cog, weap_saber.cog, weap_seqcharge.cog, weap_strifle.cog, weap_thermdet.cog
Using the utility "Conman" by Alex, I was able to modify EnhancementMod.gob and locate these same cogs and change all lines of code (with parameters other than zero) to the following, which is what openjkdf2 uses:
jkSetWaggle(player, '10.0 7.0 0.0', 350);
So far, this seems to fix things so they look just the way they are supposed to, at least the way they did in vanilla JK. Hope you'll consider updating it on your end too in the next version!
I would recommend updating the textures for the new Kyle model at some point, as it is inconsistent with the outfit he is seen wearing in the cutscenes. The textures on the model depict his Jedi Outcast design, which is quite different from his DF2 design. This creates some inconsistencies when going from cutscenes, to gameplay. That being said the original model's textures were completely off as well, so I guess this is more of a nitpick on my part.
To break it down, Kyle wears black pants and boots in DF2, but brown ones in JK2. He wears a white shirt in DF2, but a more beige one in JK2. He also has no gloves, but with black wrist gauntlets in DF2, but he has brown gloves/gauntlets in JK2.

Something is not right with JKDF2 Remastered 3.3! It DOES NOT use the Upscale Texture Pack at all.
The setup is set as the pdf shows.
Mega.nz
I solved the problem; I copied the jkgm folder from the JK2 main folder to the
C:\username\AppData\Roaming\OpenJKDF2\openjkdf2\jkgm
I've seen AI upscaled FMV cutscenes on Youtube, how do you get those into this mod?
I am installing as per the new guide in the root install directory of the GOG release and I am getting the error message that the .gob files are missing. Then it says it will install them in the appdata folder and asks me where my install dir is. I browse to the install dir in the GOG Games folder, then launch the opendf executable.
The game works and I have all the options but no upscaled textures. I have absolutely no good understanding about this whole appdata business so I don't know where to go from here.
EDIT: OK, I fixed it because I had my suspicions. I had installed in
F:\GOG Games\DF\Star Wars Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2
Now I let the GOG installed install it as it does by default in
F:\GOG Games\Star Wars Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2
So this resulted in the launcher not asking about missing gob files and loading the upscaled textures.
GeneralTantor
Please add this to your ReadMe so that people know they can change Drive letters but not default DIR! Thank you!
Yeah it must be installed in the root JK directory where ever you installed JK is where it must be installed to. Otherwise all the files will install in a separate folder and OpenJKDF2 will try to install the game files in the appdata folder and it will not load the new Textures etc.
