1. Datapad
Have you ever wondered how to do special attacks, moves and acrobatics that NPC's can perform? It is all here! A vanilla datapad was restored so you can learn everything now! It is useful mainly for the begginers, who don't have any experience with a Jedi Academy game and also for already semi-skilled players, who would like to improve their abilities. Except of moves tutorial you can also access a mission informations, descriptions of the weapons, force powers and learn their pros and cons.
Press TAB button to access Datapad.
2. Force Stasis and Force Destruction
With new coding possibilities we were able to add two new Force powers.
Force Stasis or Freeze is well known from movie The Force Awakens as the main ability of Kylo Ren. It is an an ability of the Force to forcibly restrain and immobilize people. It can be well used against enemies with a gun or less skilled Jedi opponents, who are low on FP (Force points).
Second Force power is Force Destruction. It is a Dark Side power used by Dark Jedi or Sith, allowing them to create a massive energy field and throw it in any direction. Jerec was the most famous person to have used this ability, applying it against Kyle Katarn in the Valley of the Jedi. It drains bigger amount of FP so it cannot be spammed quickly.
Force Stasis is assigned to Kylo Ren, Snoke and master Yoda and Force Destruction is used by Jerec. You can also use these powers in Challenge mode or get them by a cheat code /setforceall "1-3".
3. Saber realistic impact
Another nice feature that adds big amount of realism in duels. When you choose MD mode in options menu instead of default JKA mode, your saber will "bounce" of the enemy bodies, when you hit them. This mode also dramatically changes pace of duels because enemies stop running and jumping around you like headless chickens and are rather walking and attacking slower then before. You can always revert back to original JKA combat by changing it from options menu.
4. Animation updates
Some characters got animation and stance updates too. Mace Windu and Rey were given new own animation files with movie stances, Dooku obtained second fighting style and Grievous animations were overall revamped.
These updates are definitely worth of trying. Thank you for your support and have a good fun!
