A Remastered edition of the original, 2009 “Movie Duels 2” mod for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, with updated maps, models, sounds and various other improvements, to bring the mod into the modern age.
A patch for Update 6 that fixes several bugs, including JM difficulty causing softlocks in JK2/JKA campaigns, adds new features like spawnable effects, and overhauls JKA's foley/ambient sounds! Installation: Extract all of the files into your JKA Installation's Gamedata folder. NOTE: REQUIRES UPDATE 6 TO BE INSTALLED BEFOREHAND.
Before the patch notes, we'd like to apologize for taking way, way longer than needed to release this update. This should have come out much sooner, given the urgency of issues such as the Jedi Master difficulty softlocks in Outcast and Academy's campaigns.
Due to a mixture of complications in some of our lives, a pressure to include more stuff in the patch due to the already-extended wait time, and our need to ensure quality and optimization, it's ensured an almost 9-month wait on patches. We're sorry once again, and we plan on looking at possibly doing smaller, more frequent updates in the future, which will likely require a re-organization of our PK3 assets in smaller, more numerous bundles to ensure download sizes aren't so high with each Update.
For now, we hope you enjoy what content this patch does include, which does have a sizeable amount of character additions, a nice overhaul to JKA's foley and ambient sound effects by LangZ, spawnable effects for better savegames (3 maximum for engine reasons), and an extended selection of Challenge "Ladder" Arenas to choose from.

Hey Tompa! Loving your mod so far, but I'm running into a few issues.
I don't know if it's on my end or not, but from time to time the models will be missing textures, especially ones like Jaro Topal. Then some of the maps have no textures either, and the game will randomly crash when loading certain maps or models. But sometimes if I reload the map or the game, the models will have textures again, it's strange.
I installed the mod correctly and then the patch, and I have no other mods conflicting, not sure what is happening. Any ideas?
Cheers guys ,appreciated !
