NOTA BENE: Updated for the new decade! I've fixed all the broken links and replaced JED with a link to its successor, ZED! Happy New Year, Massassi, and happy editing to anyone who's still crazy enough to meddle with this ol' dinosaur!
--------
I have seen so many posts lately from newcomers asking for the latest version of JED, and many other plugins and programs. Many of these people (through no fault of their own) know nothing of the JK Editing Hub, a useful resource and haven for editors and their projects.
I have decided that instead of wasting everyone's time by having thousands of threads coming in about "where can I get JED?" and "are there any plugins?", I will compile a list of download locations and explanations for the various programs and plugins that have been made for JK and MotS over the years. I ask that DSettahr or another admin make this thread a sticky for the benefit of everyone.

ZED
Quote:
ZED is the latest (and most likely the best) Jedi Knight editor, the successor to JED Beta v0.951. You can download it from the JK Editing Hub, here - http://www.jkhub.net/library/index.php/Tools:ZED
ZED has essentially the exact same setup as JED and is the most commonly used level editor for Jedi Knight/MotS, and can also be used to make 3DOs (Jk/MotS models). It is free and requires minimal set-up. For instructions on how to correctly install it, consult this tutorial - http://files.massassi.net/tutorials/jed_tutor.zip

JED Plugins
Quote:
Plugins are a feature that expand JED/ZED's capabilities, making editing easier and more convenient for both veterans and newcomers.
You can download many different plugins from any of the following locations:
- http://www.nigelsjkprojects.orcon.net.nz/Jed_plugins_temp/plugins.htm
- http://www.jkhub.net/
Instructions for how to install plugins are generally included in the zip file, but if they are not, you usually place plugin files in JED/ZED's "plugins" directory and then access them through the "plugins" tab once running JED/ZED.

HellCat's Terrain Generator
Quote:
This program takes a BMP "heightmap" and converts it to a triangulated 3DO which you can texture using Force Remap (see below) and then import into JED for use in or as your level. Probably best used in conjunction with a skybox, tree 3dos, and weather effects such as rain, etc.
It can be downloaded from here:
- http://www.nigelsjkprojects.orcon.net.nz/Jed_plugins_temp/3dhmgen0.3.zip

Force Remap
Quote:
ForceRemap is a skinning utility for the 3DO file format used in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2. Features include 6-way orthographic texture mapping and a manual UV coordinate editor. It can also be used as a convenient stand-alone 3DO model viewer.
It can be downloaded from here:

JK/MotS Thing & Adjoin Limit Remover Patches
Quote:
Removes JK/MotS static 640 things limit and 128 visible adjoin limit, allowing editors to expand their levels past previous limitations. WARNING: People who download your level must have the same patch installed, or else they will not be able to run your level without it crashing or becoming unstable.
