The Amazing JK Enhanced


CrisG

Recommended Posts

I am just starting to play thru JK fully with JKE and am amazed at the great quality improvement, it is a stunning and beautiful work and really enhances the game tremendously. I really appreciate the hard work that went into this and this brings JK up to the Enhanced Gold Standard of a number of similar enhancement efforts for other SW games and is a wonderful achievment. Shred did an amazing work with this. Credits at end of this post..and linkeys in case you dont have this amazing enhancement yet.

 

It is great to see how these classic games continue to evolve and retain their fine qualities.

the improved textures and the great level design and lighting make this a wonderful visual experince as well as a great journey in the SW saga...

the lighting and the surprises really make the progression of the game great, and the vast improvement of the visuals is wonderful...

the compliation and selection of enhanced textures is just right for the settings and the scenes they are selected for...

and the many varied environments make the game continually surprising and fun....

 

and the improved models make the game itself fit more with the excellent cut scenes and in game vids... a great job on this enhancement indeed.

along with the Tie Figher Total Conversion, the X Wing Alliance U project, the Team Gizka soon to be released restoration of KoTOR II and the combined work of X Wing Redux and the currently active project to translate XWR into english, and the great DF Mod into JKA the entire series is alive and evolving in great ways.

well with mots,thats a bit difficult since nobodys doing anything with it,but what i did is rename the file extensions from gob to goo and most of the texture fixes and npcs show up in mots as they do in jk.which is cool since i did not expect this to work at all for mots.

well basically all i did was take the jk enhanced file and the retexture file and renamed them from gob to goo,thats it,again it only changes what was changed and upgraded in jk,ie if they didnt change the ships then in mots they dont change,but if you notice like for example the gran and stormies have changed and look better this change shows up in mots.hope that makes it more clear.

Great ..that is good to know. As Darksaber and the crew at XWAU allowed them to use the models that were created for the enhanced XWA for JKE, maybe if we do end up working up some additions to the enhancements for MotS they will allow more of the great enhanced ships in the DSUCP to be used as enhanced versions, i havent played MotS all the way thru yet so i dont know which ships appear yet.

Excellent, there are some reallly good upgraded and enhanced ships that have been made for the XWAU project, in fact hundreds of them, and some of them are fantastic in detail...and more are being made ...so that would be a great addition..if we can get permission from the guys who made them and if it works out to make an enhancement for MotS :)

Yep i saw that permission from Z ...i was referring to the ship models that were made for the XWing Alliance Upgrade project and Darksaber and others fine ship models and seeing about permission to use them if an enhanced MotS is done someday.

I see the ships so far can use improvment in MotS. The new texture pack and JKE do indeed add a lot when converted.

 

The ships that need to be added from xwau should only be

 

Mara Jade's Ship

Falcon/YT-1300

R-41

ST Transport

T-Wing

Tie Fighter

Tie Interceptor

 

Already in JKE

Lambda Shuttle

Moldy Crow

Tie Bomber

 

I think that's all of them... Could be missing a few

I must say the Enhanced Texture pack really does a good job on JK, in the aceduct area it is remarkable....

and another shot from later in the game from a buddy who has told me a lot about this great addition to enhancements for JK

Darksaber and the XWAU did a ton of great X wings so that would be nice to see if they would let one come to MotS.

hmm i havent had that happen to me and im using both saber battle x fot jk and saber battle x for mots,and they dont overwrite the models,at least not for me,the way i found that i could get it to work was to drop the gob inside the the jke folder alongside the jke gob.

chris has some screenshots of the lightsaber mod im using maybe he could upload some of them so you could see what im taking about.

with mots i was able to get the jke.gob to work in mots by renamaming it to goo and putting it in my jkm folder withat goo and editing a 2nd bat to work with the jkm folder.

i never really liked the saber ingame and the saber battle x mod was the one i enjoyed the most especially since it allowed me to turn off the saber and keep it in my hands.

Here are screen shots from both JKE (with both the Enhanced mod that improves the models and some of the textures and sprites AND the Texture pack) from Jedi Mike to demo the improvments....

these are also about a ehanced saber mod.....saber mod that we have been discussing which works in both JK and MoTS, and allows some nice adjustments and custom settings for the saber...

 

and in MoTS....

here are pics from MoTS.....of the JKE pack and the new Texture Pack which also work in MoTS if you re name the Gob files to Goo and place them correctly in the folder tree... these pics are also from Jedi Mike
