At1x Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Is it possible in Jedi Academy to enable Blood/Gore (e.g. Hands flying off, e.t.c)? and is it possible to change the color of light saber in middle of the game? (I mean, I've already done couple missions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 There is no blood or gore in the base game, however I'm sure you can find some blood mods with some minor amounts of searching. Cheats for enabling dismemberment as well as changing saber color should also be easily located with a quick google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forceboat Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 You might try Open Jedi Project for the dismemberment. I think in one of the versions, they modified the options to enable Realistic Saber Dismemberment, meaning you can hack a player model all up to pieces (heads, waists, arms, legs, hands). And as for changing saber blade color at will, you might could bind a key to change the blade color when you want to, it would be bind (keyname) saber1 color1(through 4, I think). What was the grip thing you were talking about? A saber hilt or a modification of Force Grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Dismemberment does work in Jedi Academy, just not to the ridiculous degree it does in Jedi Outcast. Also you can change the color of the blade, although I don't think Forceboat's code for that is 100% accurate (is close, though). Please look it up for the exact cheat code for changing saber blade color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 To change the saber color.... Single: /sabercolor 1 red Twin Sabers: /sabercolor 1 red /sabercolor 2 purple Dual-bladed: /sabercolor 1 red green To change the hilt model.... Single / Dual-bladed: /saber <code> Twin Sabers: /saber <code> <code> (NOTE: You can only do this with single sabers, obviously. <code> entries for base single hilts: single_1 single_2 ... single_9 <code> entries for base dual-bladed hilts: dual_1 ... dual_5 Extra <code> entries: sith_sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 and is it possible to change the color of light saber in middle of the game? (I mean, I've already done couple missions) Yes, You don't need those cheats, because after you finish a certain mission, you will be allowed to create a new one...

At1x Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes, You don't need those cheats, because after you finish a certain mission, you will be allowed to create a new one... Indeed, I have, Now I have double blade and I pwn Storm Troopers. Slicing off heads and hands has shown up in couple cheat sites, but none of them worked. Same with sabre color. Although I don't need the sabre color anymore (sorry for wasting your tim, to the guy who wrote all those cheats). BTW your sabre cfg doesn't work.

At1x Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Finished Jedi Academy, both on Light Side and Dark Side, Dark side is way harder because Jedi aren't against you and Kyle isn't fighting against you. Is Jedi Outcast worth playing? And what's with Dark Force 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Jedi Outcast has a better singleplayer story-wise than Jedi Academy, and it's a campaign rather than a bunch of disjointed scenarios, but to be honest your money is probably better spent elsewhere if you've already played through JA since it'll just be exactly the same thing all over again. (Sure, other games might not be Star Wars, but the logo on the front is irrelevant; good games are good games and bad games are bad games, whether they have a major franchise behind them or not. Download some demos, etc, find some games you have fun with and buy them.) Dark Forces 2 is a quality game despite it's age, far superior to it's two successors, but I daresay it will have a multitude of problems running on newer hardware and operating systems. If you've got Windows Vista, then DF2 is right out of the question - your computer is literally too advanced, and DF2 literally too primitive, for the two to be compatible. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing; you may lose older games, but you gain newer ones that open up all sorts of new possibilities for interactive entertainment. Everything has it's time, and everything dies; though we may miss the older things, we should not allow them to hold us back. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to say goodbye to almost the entirety of my retro games collection.... :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only play JK series because of the Light Saber fighting, I adore it. In JO I've only completed the first mission and still haven't got my lightsaber, I'm starting to get fed up. If I won't have my Lightsaber after couple mission.. Add/Remove Programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The non-lightsaber segments are relevant to the plot; bear in mind the game is Kyle Katarn's story, not just a slashfest. You get your saber back after the second mission, Artus Prime, when you've played through the force power tutorial segment. If you like JK2/A's saber fighting, you might want to try the Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind and Oblivion. The melee combat segments are more basic (although calling JK2/A's saber fighting "advanced" is quite laughable, it's a really shallow system that I personally wouldn't call "proper fighting", but then I do know how to handle swords in reality so maybe I'm just picky there) but it does intertwine very well with the magic system, allowing for good, seamless fusions of physical combat and special abilities. Not Star Wars themed, but excellent games nevertheless, and far more interactive and non-linear than most RPGs (including the aforementioned KOTOR). There's plenty of other games I could also recommend if you like similar gameplay styles too, with quite a few of them having deeper combat than JK2/A while maintaining the same principles, but it's late, I'm tired and can't really think of them off the top of my head. "Swordsmanship" games may be a niche market, but I assure you there are quite a few out there other than JK2/A, and you'll certainly enjoy playing them all. I know I do.

I'm super action man, the one you would call Hardcore gamer. I don't like Strategy, RTS or RPG games (not because my IQ is 50) and KOTOR isn't my piece of cake. I've tried Oblivion, didn't like the whole principle. Non-linear RPG or RTS games like Oblivion aren't my piece of cake just because of the idea of them. That's probably why I despise KOTOR but <3 JA. I'll do some more missions on JO tomorrow and see how it goes. Cheers for advice anyway, mate.

nizwiz Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 You quit jk2 because you don't get the saber right from the start? You could use a cheat code to get yourself a saber early in the game, if it bothers you that much. IMO, it's a great game; better than jk3 at any rate.

Forceboat Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Agreed. Use "give all" to get the saber, "g_SaberAnimSpeed 3" to make the animation speed of it faster, and "g_saberMoveSpeed 3" to make it move faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I daresay the non-saber segments are actually more fun, though, because you're not uber and as such have to play the game without it getting handed to you on a silver platter.
