  • Jedi Academy: Enhanced is a mod for Jedi Academy Single Player which adds features and improvements to the core experience like RGB sabers, saber customization, saber holstering, new force powers, some extra character customization options using “head swapping”, optionally allows SFX Sabers, widescreen fixes, better effects and more.
    It's based on OpenJK (so the code is released under the GPL and available at [github.com/JKEnhanced/OpenJK/]) and a slightly modified version (for SP) of AJL's SFX Saber code. It also uses Open Jedi Project code for TrueView.

      @Patrick Barsalou Actually from a business standpoint, driving interest in a 20 year old game is great. They have zero cost. Anyone buying the game will be 100% profit for zero effort. There are plenty of gamers who never played it who might decide to give it a try. And even gamers who have bought it before may end up buying it again. I don't know about you, but I have no idea where my copy of JA is. So I could either spend hours looking for the disk and hope that it isn't scratched up from decades of being wherever it is. Or I can pay $5 and get a new copy off Steam. It's worth it to me to pay the $5. And none of that impacts their ability to develop new games, or customer demand for those games. It's not like they've constantly got games coming out, so in the years between releases, gamers can play these older games. And if they do have a new game coming out, it's unlikely that, if forced to choose, someone is going to forgo the new game to get one that's 2 decades old.

      With cheats it is better, for you can use desann and tavion saber style, or bind weapons, so you can use both dual saber and single saber with desired saber styles. It has potential, but without cheats I do not find it that good, nor I find basic missing that good, so I use spawn cheat to fill modders maps with NPCs.

    God bless modders who still work on this game. Mods are the reason I played this game for seven years after release. There was so much content you could download, multiplayer servers to play on running different mods, and so much fun to be had. I am so happy to see that the modding scene still hasn't died for what is arguably among the best Star Wars games ever created. There is a very clear amount of serious work that was put into this mod, I mean, saber customization!? I never thought I'd see the day Jedi Academy would actually get a mod that let you swap parts to create your own. That's just wild. Hats off to all of you who've been working on this.

  • @JRHockney

    Great to see people are still making mods for JKA! I helped with Open Jedi Project over a decade ago and my main focus was the saber combat (which was very confusing to new players but way cooler and more movie like than the base JKA jump/swing fest combat IMO). Glad to see you are using some of the true view code from it and I'm sure Razorace is very happy about that too. I hope one day someone will resurrect OJP and find a way to make the saber system more friendly to new players and grow its popularity. Good luck on your mod!

    This mod is the perfect mod for me. I'm not huge on adding a bunch of crap to my game but this adds just enough in the right areas while still keeping the vanilla feel. More or less just allowing a proper resolution and giving some more customization. The lightsaber customization and the baking in of the realistic saber combat(which I used to have to tweak the ini file to get) are the big things for me. The better graphics and resolution are just a bonus. This was the first mod I've ever installed to Jedi Knight but now I don't think I'll ever be able to play without it.

      You can turn dismemberment off globally in the normal settings. I forget which menu within setup, possibly under Options.

    All of the flashy new age star wars games fail to live up to the masterpiece that is JA supported by modders for 20 years. What a shame. This looks great!

    I have played this game on every system that I own, PC included… but I really wish I could get such great mods like this on the more recent Nintendo Switch port or something. What a dream that would be, but there’s no way I could put in the work to get that functional.

    Need something to enhance graphics, via shaders and lighting but I am so happy for this modpack.

    Ah shit, here we go again! Great way to relive when Star Wars was still ours.

    I leave my contribution as a modder so in the future they add it. forcegrip 4 does not emit damage, it can be used as telekinesis.
