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!
Progress information. The mod is going slowly, but it's not stopping or going backwards.
1. Fixer has quit the mod, though he didn't say so ; 2. I converted a DF2 cutscene successfully to the Jedi Academy format ; 3. He has managed to emulate...
And then, finally, Maw level is completely DONE. Now, we're starting to work with JEDI BATTLEGROUND. And it's going to be big. Fixer worked in the mapping...
I decided that we must have extras. Four extras are enough. But only one is canon. And the NPC's need to be configured properly, and I thought that the...
A Demo, only one level. The level is: MAW, the Revenge. Many things may be missing, but wait. What is coming is something even better.
How to install this mod?
Download Maw - The Revenge, there should be a folder and a .bat file in the .rar file, extract it to your GameData folder, execute the .bat file, open the console, type in the console "map Tower_Kyle_v2". You'll be playing as Kyle Katarn against the Dark Jedi Maw, in a remake of the duel in Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2.
Guys, please don't let this mod die. Think about all those people who would like to play it. I'm sure that you will make it. I'm counting on you, a lot of people are counting on you. May The Force be with you...always!
This mod won't die, don't worry. The mapper Ltfuller is working in the maps.
And, what I'm going to say may be irrelevant, but I'll say it anyway. I'm a communist, I think in the others more than myself (lol).
It's dying. I PM'ed Fixer many times and he still has not answered. If I don't find a mapper, any chance of a Jedi Knight Revival will be lost.
Has Fixer been online?
Yes... That's the worst part about it. It resembles another problem, I PM'ed Darth Phae once asking about a DF2/MOTS hud he had. He logged on to his FileFront account many times since then, but he never answered.
Or alternatively i could map for you?
PM me is you want to have a chat.

I that is very hard to make a mod but can you tell me when will you launch it?
I hope to release 0.5 in August, however, a video will be released before that.
