After I am done with my FFA map, I plan to make a sp remake in JEDI OUTCAST of barons hed level 1 from Jedi Knight. And like the topic says if anyone has already done this than I will not make it but I think it will be a fun project to do.

And before you people start b**ching these are the reasons I will do it in outcast:

1.)I dont want to fool around with academy by making Kyle be there instead of Jaden. Im to lazy and it's to complicated.
2.)I dont like a lot of features of academy that lag down older comps (like mine) from running well.
3.)I like the HUD better in outcast and even though i know you can fix it with modding I just like it best.
4.)I just like outcast better. I like the feel of it better for some reason.

so if I do this it will be in Outcast. Call me lazy or whatever but it will be. The graphics will be better, I may add some architectural interests (but not to dramatic) and I plan to make a very nice sky shader in photoshop. Any questions comments or suggestions?

Oh btw if anyone wants to make a max model I will try to put him in and do some nice scripting to make him work otherwise he wont be in it.

Go for it. You have good reasons for Outcast.

I heard that there was a DF2 TC for JA, but I think it collapsed. Most of the team left and now it is in shambles.

Actually, the TC for JA just released another demo. It can be found on Massassi. Heh.

You're not talking about the Dark Forces TC, are you? Because they guy above said DF*2*, not DF.

Well, you have strong reasons for JO. Except that the 1st one is false. I wrote a tutorial on the subject, and even my tutorial is vastly overcomplicated, as the DF TC demo taught us. I should probably rewrite it.... But anyway, I think you would have less audience with JO. It looks like JA is a dying game, but JO is quite dead and buried already.

Hmm... I'm sorry I started to question your choice... It's yours, after all...

I never said it couldn't be done lassev. I read the tutorial and like I said it's to complicated. Im not saying you did a bad job explaining it but I just dont want to do all of that.

Also I don't beleive that JO is a dying game. Sure it isn't played as often now but maps still come out for it and it is proven that people want JO maps to be made sitll. Just look at the comments for Remnant Temple. I also don't know how you can say that on a site that revolves around a game that is 7 years old. You most have hope my firend!

And you're talking about a game that barelly lasted a year. JO is quite dead.

JO Assets into JA base folder

Download JO levels

JO levels in JA


Save yourself the time and make it in JA. If you do anything, I'll just put the .pk3 in my JA base and play it from there.

But I DID do bad job! Like I said, my tutorial is vastly overcomplicated. In reality, you don't need to do half of what I explained... I noticed it when checking the DF TC demo.

I can because I already uninstalled JO... :(

And Glyde Bane, that doesn't always work for SP levels. There are some (SP specific?) things that aren't compatible between JO and JA. This I can tell from experience since my Lighthouse only works partially... Thought it might be possible to take this into account, to a certain degree, when building the level and packing it in the pk3...
