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

I love the lightsaber blades in the demo! What did you use to modify the blades?
I didn't do it. I guess Fixer put it there.
He did a good job with the blades, also, Light Side Kyle should have Yun's lightsaber, because in the game Kyle gets Yun's lightsaber a few levels after choosing the light side.
I think it wasn't Fixer who did the blades, still. I'll ask him.
About the light side Kyle: Katarn chooses his true path after he defeats Maw. Jerec and his Dark Jedi capture Jan. There he can either deactivate his lightsaber or strike at Jan with his lightsaber (actually, it's Rahn's). Jerec uses Force Destruction and Kyle goes on the the Falling Ship (Sulon Star) level, or the Into the Dark Side level. After escaping the Sulon Star, the Moldy Crow either crashes or lands safely in the Jedi Battleground. If it crashes, Yun, Boc and Sariss are there. Boc destroys Kyle's lightsaber and goes into a shuttle to the Valley. Sariss is about to kill the inconscious Kyle when Yun blocks the attack and is killed in his place. Then Katarn gets Yun's lightsaber and duels Sariss.
However, in the Dark Side path, Kyle lands the Moldy Crow in the Battleground and duels Yun with Rahn's lightsaber.
this mod looks cool! will there be another demo? liked the first one btw. beat like 50 times lol
Yeah, another demo. I finished the menus, now Fixer needs to send me the maps and I'll incorporate them to the UI.
Also, the menu will be simple, don't expect to see map screenshots or icons. Only text.
Sweet :) Will Jerec and Dark Kyle have Force Destruction?
Jerec will, but probably Dark Kyle won't. I'll ask Fixer. It's a bit of a complex system. There are invisible, non-solid balls that only Jerec can Force Push. When it hits, it explodes, doing damage. It' something like that.
It's awesome. In one hour, 30 visitors came. And three more watchers!
Excellent! :)
My God! 228 visitors! 38 watchers! But the problem is, right now, that the number of visits is 10,666...
And I want this mod to be in Moddb's Top 100 mods.
It will be, this is a great mod! :)
Shouldn't focus too much on popularity, you should focus on making the mod great! Besides, 555(Your current rank) is a cool number ;)
