Gorgi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 To be honest i forgot about it completely. I remember that the mod started a long time ago for Jedi Outcast, but it seems it is now for Jedi Academy (which is a good thing). But i don't see many progress as it looks like it's the same as years ago. When i was cleaning my house i found this old Dark Forces cd-rom. Of course i could not get it to work under XP, and using dosbox it looked like ****. But that is because it's an old game. Then i remembered this mod so i looked on fileplanet/gamershell etc. for the file. I though it to be done summer 2003, but now i found out it isn't done yet. Are people still working on this mod? Any idea when it's done? I was really looking forward to play DF once again as it is my favorite starwars game. -I like the setting -- ie, during the reign of Emperor Palpatine with his foremost agent Darth Vader -I do not like jedi and prefer a blaster -- I did finish DF2, jediknight without forcepowers/lightsaber (except when it was necessary like force run or something or opening grates when no weapons could do it) but the original i was no jedi.

cjone2 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 as far as im aware its still alive and progressing slowly not 100% sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStarMojo Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 We're still here. The second demo should be out be out very soon, as in the first quarter of this year. I can't give you an exact date because it all depends on how quickly I can work on detention center around my school schedule, which shouldn't be a problem but I don't want to second guess myself. At any rate, there is a lot done and things are constantly moving forward. Truth be told, I have everything along the first elevator completed and I'm editing the excellent terrain map Salv has done so I only need to finish two levels and the trash compactor before the map is done. Just hang in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Yoyo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm looking forward to the second demo. Keep up the good work. Slow going is better than no going I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicerDude Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Don't you mean 3rd demo? I was under the impression I'd already played two demos of this mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgi Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ok thx I'll just have to wait and see. I really look forward to DF. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spsblue Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Don't you mean 3rd demo? I was under the impression I'd already played two demos of this mod... They released the first level only for JO. Then the 'First Demo' which contained the first three levels for JA. Thus the 'Second Demo' will be the second batch of 3 levels for JA.

Kurgan Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Bummer the "Sometime 2006" thing is now obsolete. Time to change the opening animation on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Lol yeah, it should write "Sometime 2007"... :-P I'll remove it for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGunther1969 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I read a post on MODDB a week or two ago which mentioned the fact that Spring Break 2007 (next weekend) is the release date for the all new 6-level (and possibly final) release for the MOD. Are there any thuths to these rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Linux Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 well, we aren't quite done yet. I was hoping for things to be done by now, but Chrustec is redoing all the cutscenes with the new Moldy Crow model and Detention Center is only about half done. I think now it will be June or July. Anyhow, do check out the mods homepage for a happy birthday announcement and some details about what will happen after the 3rd demo is released. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ack Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Saw the news post... Well, thanks for five kickass years you guys! I mean the community was almost as awesome as the mod in itself, in that you got so many people cheering for you and maybe it was a bit inevitable for a mod of this quality to die... But I still can't wait for the third demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFgeoff Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Yeah I sorta felt this would happen. As a graduating college student I can see how quickly free time for intense work like this tends to vanish... Thanks for all the hard work, six levels is an amazing accomplishment for an independent volunteer team. Congrats on a job well done As an aside, when the final assets are released, will these include the maps like Jabba's Ship and Robotics Facility too?

Omeganian Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Maybe you should look for someone to turn the site over to, along with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Yoyo Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Back when the mod started I knew it would be a tough job to make a whole game by an independent volunteer team. But atleast we got 6 levels. By judgeing the way the first 3 were done the final demo is just going to be awesome. Thanks for the hard work. P.S. I'm still mad at that darn April fools joke you did a few years ago making us think LEC was taking over the mod. I feel the time in making the site could have been put into working on the demo.

cjone2 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Looking forward to this will probally be the last big mod for ja, well done on all the effort and hard work youve put into making this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the time in making the site could have been put into working on the demo. It took the webmaster probably an hour to throw that together since most was just borrowed from LEC classic gaming site/page. It didn't detract from our output in anyway I assure you. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those two maps are just roughed out, but I will include the .map file so someone can take over with what is there. The textures for those levels are completed, so we are talking about a couple hundred pieces of artwork that are just waiting for a mapper to use.

MikeGunther1969 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 A weekly update would be nice...Even if it's just a quick little note or two, it's better than having a surprise every 2-3 months. Anyone care to chime in on this one here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Linux Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 sadly, not much happens in any given week . . . but we do have some developments this week . . . I'll post news on homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Yoyo Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Looking forward to this will probally be the last big mod for ja, well done on all the effort and hard work youve put into making this. If your looking for more Jedi Academy single player give this a try. I just found out about it and started playing it. It's as long (if not longer) than the original SP campaign. You're basically downloading a whole new game. There are 25 playable levels. There are 35 levels in all. 10 cinematic and 25 playable. 35 levels, 150000 brushes, 25000 lines of script, 40000 entities and 3000 hours of blood and sweat was put into EY:4 - The Lost Maps. http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/Escape_Yavin_IV_The_Lost_Maps;58958x#856009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
