[WIP] Chronicles Mod

[Robespierre]

I'm not 100% where this thread is supposed to go, since its not specific modding help per se. This is more of an information thread.

 

The Chronicles Mod started as a thread on the unofficial KOTF Community Forum, where people came to rant and rave about KOTF, and about how it just wasn't good enough. We were sick of constantly delayed release dates. We were sick of stolen maps and models. We wanted a quality mod, which we saw wasn't coming any time soon. So we decided to do it ourselves. So in August of 2007, The Chronicles Mod was born.

 

We in the Chronicles mod team aim to make a Total Conversion Single Player Modification for Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. We ask permission from all of the authors of the maps and models that we are using. If we can't get permission, then we make the maps/models ourselves. Currently, we're working on Episode 1.

 

Let me stress again that we are in no way connected to KOTF. We don't like KOTF and despise what Tim has done to the modding community. We are not KOTF in disguise and resent any allegations. We believe that making a mod for the Star Wars movies is a fantastic idea, and we're pursuing it to the fullest.

Movie Battles II - Multiplayer mod

Well that sounds promising, i will bookmark this and keep an eye on you guys, good luck and may the Force give you strength in your work.

I know it may sound biased because I'm part of the team, but I'd highly recommend you using the Open Jedi Project combat engine for it. Alternatively, the Movie Battles one isn't bad too, but (speaking purely from a neutral player's POV) I honestly think OJP's better for Jedi fights

[Robespierre]

We can't use the OJP combat engine because that uses the MP source code, and we are making an SP mod. We had considered it, but we can't.

[UDM]

That's too bad. Is the combat engine going to use the default JKA one then?

That's too bad. Is the combat engine going to use the default JKA one then?

 

Probably, unless we can do some nice coding for SP.
