I am starting a Jedi Knight (Dark Forces 2) mod. It is not the entire game, only the duels:
The player will be able to choose the character, like in Movie Duels 2. And I need:
Well, what I have now to do the mod:
As you can see, I have the bricks but I only need to join them. Now, what is news, Darth Phae said that I can use his skin pack. Jeremy said that I can use his DF2 Kyle. Trauma Sensei said in the readme that everyone can use his work, as long as he is credited.
Dark Kyle uses only Dark Side powers. Kyle himself uses only Light Side powers after the duel against Maw.
And I will try to convert the SMACKER DF2 videos to ROQ which JA uses, if LucasArts allow me to do so.

People, it's been some 10 years that I turned myself off moddb and Jedi Academy modding. It was surprising to log on this account and notice that you never stopped expecting something new to show up here. Well, I'm sorry for disappointing you (and myself too) - cause back there, there was potential for this to become something. I didn't have the people and life skills to get a team together, neither the experience nor the knowledge as a game programmer to accomplish it. But the worst thing is that all the work me and my small team had done became dust - I lost the files in the course of formatting my PC some times through these years.
It seems it's not the first time that happens with those who tried to make a DF2 'port' to newer games - I remember back in 2012 I used to play a French mod for Jedi Outcast that was a playthrough of the first 4 or 5 levels of DF2, faithful to the original and great-looking in Q3 engine graphics. Man, I lost the files of that mod as well, searched all the wide web for it, but probably it will never be played again, by anyone - since the French DF2 mod was hosted on the now-dead Lucasforums... That's a bit sad. Someone could have taken my work and the Frenchie's work, piece it together, make some more maps and maybe by now we would be closer to a Dark Forces 2 remake... Let's just hope that will still see that happen, someday. (That game would look marvelous in UE4... *sigh*)
That's all, folks!
Walking slowly, but never backwards

Is this mod DEAD?
No the mod is in fact still being worked on
i hope its not :[
Will the sound effects (lightsabers, force powers, etc.) be the same as the original Jedi Knight sounds?
The mapping looks excellent.
With the skills that you're displaying here, I wouldn't be absolutely dedicated to doing a super-strict "porting" of the classic maps.
Feel free to give us new areas to explore and fight in.
I'm actually retrying the work at scripting, some months modding Hearts of Iron 3 surely helped a lot.
Finally some activity Jeff. For some time I thought your mod was dead. I am very happy to hear that everything is up and running again. Keep up the good work and May The Force be with you...always.
So, say someone wants to do a full mod of Dark Forces II on Jedi Academy, one that's actually being worked on, not the one from shamusworld that hasn't been updated in 3 years, would you allow your work to be implemented into said mod?
Of course.
I formally declare that from today, JKD is on the road again.
hey im new here, you know i king of wanted to do a mod that is a lot simmilar to this, just have all the jedi knight duels ever, like kyle vs desann, or jaden vs kyle, with still the option of choosing your character, just an idea for you, you can do what you like. I was wondering how far you actually are in the completion of this mod because this mod has really intrigued me to start making mods myself and getting together a team for it, i know good c++ programmers although never modded or programmed before so im new to this thing. I just wanted to know your progress because there's no other way of finding out but asking you because the last update on the df2 duels site is sometime in 2009
Very nice guys. Keep up the good work. I really trust you that you will get this job done. A lot of guys can't wait to play this mod (me too). May the Force be with you...Always.
