J_Bond Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Hi folks, can anyone tell me something about the current status of the "Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight Enhanced"-MOD? I was very excited when I heard about it. It was one of my favorite games, but the graphic quality today is terrible. I hope that there is still someone working on it. I'm looking forward to play that as an Jedi Outcast-MOD (or perhaps Jedi Academy?). Does perhaps a webpage exists for it?
Sam Fisher Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I think its going to be for JA, but here's a link LINK
Katarn07 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 No, that is not the link he's looking for. Like alot of others, Mr. Bond has gotten DF mod for JO/ JA confused with DF II Enhanced, which is the recreation of Jedi Knight. This is the link in the project leader's sig
J_Bond Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 Thank you Katarn07, and sorry for opening this thread here at the Dark Forces MOD site. But at the moment there is only one page at the Dark Forces II Enhanced site with a huge image, but no link or any information. I hope that there will be more soon.
spsblue Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Do you want to help make it or information? If you want to join email: NwO2kReaper1576 at reaper@nwo2k.net
reaper1576 Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 at the moment im waiting to here from the guy working on the site ive been away someone for a week work pc problems and isp problem everything will be moved over for JA
J_Bond Posted September 13, 2003 Author Posted September 13, 2003 @spsblue Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to hear some informations. I'm not able to program, so I don't believe that I could help someone. Perhaps you can tell us something more about the current status. I'm looking forward to hear more of this brilliant MOD.
spsblue Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Not sure how much i'm allowed to say. I'm one of the newer members and have only produced a few textures so far.

OK this is how its coming along we have a few maps near completion. textures are coming along but slowly as the team has more mappers the demo of the first level is still being worked on its just taking its time as i have so much work on at the moment and im mapping when i can along with other projects with microsoft work on the dark jedi is still going on bloodriots had some major PC problems and he was left with out a pc of most of the summer im waiting on the final ok on yun and sariss at the moment i think bloodriots going to work on boc next now that the JA modeling tools are avalible. The valley of the jedi level is looking nice. some team members have been away on holiday so we had a mojor slow down in the summer and now everyones back to uni or collage etc things are gonna start to sort them selfs out slowly. the word on the site i have spoken to the guy working on it and im a bit lost at his awnser so im hoping to have something sorted out soon. We still need mappers codders texture artists and modelers to work on characters and weapons
J_Bond Posted September 18, 2003 Author Posted September 18, 2003 Thank you, reaper1576. That's nice to hear. Do you know something about the force skills in the game? Would we be able to use the classic force skills, or do you use the same force skills like in Jedi Outcast?
reaper1576 Posted September 19, 2003 Posted September 19, 2003 well we will have to see whats possible with JA
The Count Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I've got JA the legal version and I have to say that it is very impressive however you have to put the gameplay up to Jedi Master because the AI blows donkeys.
eelektrik Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 After beating Jedi Academy, I went back to the original Jedi Knight, since I never did beat it when I got it, but still have the CDs... so, what the hell, might as well go through it... On level 9 so far, and its good to hear that someone is recreating the game in the Academy engine, since it will be really cool to play it again with the better graphics and saber combat that Academy provides. One thing im wondering, about force points and stuff, are you still gonna stick with the original design and have to find all the secret areas in order to get all the force points? Its just one of my gripes with Jedi Knight: dark forces 2, and having to find all the secret areas to get a decent ammount of force powers, other then that, the game is brilliant, and still great, even compared to todays games. And its even harder on medium then Jedi Academy is on Jedi Master.
Katarn07 Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 The secret area thing, if possible to incorporate, would be for the better. That way, you have fewer powers and are challenged. If you're lucky to snag all the secret areas, all the more power to you. I replayed JK and got all the secret areas in only about 8 of the 15 levels. The other 6 levels are saber duels and have no secret areas. Not entirely positive all 15 FPS levels had secret areas. EDIT - Reaps, why don't you move the mod over to JK.net like the DF one? Wouldn't that be better, with them hosting the site and forums on LF? I'd post like crazy for that mod too!

Neverhoodian Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Well, I hope everything gets straightened out, reaper. I'm in the process of replaying JK right now, and I think the mod would be a great contribution to the community.
eelektrik Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Yes, such a mod would also fix one other problem Ive noticed when playing JK after Academy, the lack of a quick load button since, I die or mess up alot...and its just faster to press F9 to reload then wait to die or go to the menu....
Benevolence Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Just a crazy thought; a stupid insane thought. I think it would be cool to have the Dark Forces uber mod for JA. Where when all the mods are finished (DF, JK:DF2, MOTS (Is there someone working on MOTS?)) they are all combined into a seamless uber mod. Heck even convert the JO maps to JA (would that really be that hard?) and tag it onto the uber DF mod. Then again its just a stupid, crazy idea. The mods arn't even finiished yet. Pay this post no mind :-)
TK-8252 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Originally posted by Benevolence I think it would be cool to have the Dark Forces uber mod for JA. What the heck? Dont you know that the Dark Forces mod is going to be for Jedi Academy? You got a lot of catching up to do, bud.
ewok mercenary Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I think he knows it's gonna be for JA. I think he means it'd be cool to have them all as one big Dark Forces series mod. I may be wrong though...
eelektrik Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Ive actually had the same thought, having all 4 of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series games playable under one executable would just be very cool, and handy... Though im fine with just being released seperatly simply for the sake of playing through the originals with better graphics and quickload feature and better saber combat in Jedi Knight and stuff... When will the website be ready for showing for the Jedi Knight enhanced mod? I have it bookmarked, though its still at this point just the coming soon picture, and id just love to see more of the mod whenever possible.
Katarn07 Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 It'd be cool; real cool. No one is working on MotS as of the moment, so I'd rather work get started on that than have this "uber mod" And TK, Benevolence is on the team somehow or another, I think he knows there's a DF mod for JO/JA
eelektrik Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 I completly forgot about Mysteries of the Sith, someone does need to remake that as well. Im gonna have to see if I can find it anywhere since I dont have my copy anymore, but I still have the original Jedi Knight though.
Light Storm Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 Well, i just joined the team for DF2E to make weapon models, so at least we are heading in the right dirrection
J_Bond Posted September 27, 2003 Author Posted September 27, 2003 What's about the cutscenes of Jedi Knight? I found these "real" movies pretty cool, but are you able to use them on the MOD, too? Or would you try to make cutscenes by yourself using the game-engine like in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy?
