All Hidden Model Stuff
can\'t choose from the player menu for the game. Such as wearing the Hoth/winter clothes in multiplayer. Or maybe you\'d rather play as Kyle, but have death sounds like a Rancor or Wampa. If this is something that interests you, download this file for the list of commands. ~AmosMagee

bloodPLUS Gore/Dismemberment Mod
here. v1.5 - the earlier release - features more of a "splat" variant, which while more moderate than the latter, is a tad more cartoony. I'll give the new sounds one thing to their credit - they sure are squicky. v3.1 differs from v1.5 in that it's more of a 'spurt' effect. Think GTA Vice City after blowing someone's limbs off, and you're not far wrong. Obviously, as with any mod that comes in two versions, only install one at a time. Other than that if you want a bit of 'realism' - or you're just one seriously sick puppy - this one may interest you. It's definitely more vicious than other blood mods I've used. ~ Kouen

The Force Unleashed Pack
I'll leave the accuracy up to you, but I find the design to be spot on. The saber half of this mod is definitely a keeper. Normal and backhand versions are available. Oh, and did I mention the animation changes to the backhander? :P [b]Effects[/b] From clashes, to lightning, to saber blades, the overall quality of the effects half is rather good. Personally, I find the saber blades to be the best part, but that's a matter of opinion, unfortunately. :P Overall, a nice little mod, and worth the download if you like that saber! ~Crazy [i]Ah, nothing like a nice and short review, eh?[/i]

JEDI Costumization PLUS
skins. There are at least 49 new styles of heads, and 3 to 4 different versions of the same style, so there is at least 147 new heads for the Anakin model in this pack. There are at least 21 different torso styles, with about 3 versions per style (robed, unrobed, or hooded), and at least 21 new legs to match. Altogether, there are over 125000, unless my math is off, and I am fairly certain that it isn't. (129024 according to the readme... :p) Needless to say, this is split up into a lot of different species in the SP customization menu. There is far too much to have all in one menu. But it is split up and put together in a way that allows you to choose the combination that you want to have. Now onto the skins themselves... Each one is of very high quality, like the Aviar Lord skins were (Acutally, the Aviar Lord skins are included in this too :p), and the heads are pretty much all original. The clothes, though, aren't quite as original as the heads. But that is not the author's fault. There is only so much you can do with the clothes on the Anakin model, and I think that almost everything that can be realistically done to them has been done. I'd go more in depth about what they all look like if it weren't for the fact that it would pretty much be impossible to do so, so I will instead leave it up to the screenshots to tell you. I honestly couldn't find very much to complain about for this pack with one exception: This caused some problems with the default JA stuff. I popped it into my base folder and went to play SP a bit, and found that stormtroopers no longer spawned. Of course, that could be because I have so much other crap in my base folder as well. And, that shouldn't bug too many of you, since not many seem to play SP much these days, and I found no problems in MP. Anyway, this is a huge file, but I found every single byte of it to be worth it. I highly recommend this pack for people to download. Bot Support: Yes Team Support: No Npc Support: Yes New Sounds: No

JA+ Mod 2.3
name a few ... with the JA+ mod you can have multiple duels at once, even full force duels, and all of those duels can be isolated so there's no duel interference, there's clan tag protection, option of having multiple taunts, lots of new emotes, a profanity filter, model size scaling system, new items including a grapple hook (perfect if you've just downloaded the new Spiderman skin) and a ton of other features. The newest features for the mod include a Mac patch so that Mac users (are there any out there? If so, freakin' email me ... I have a map I need you to test) can start a JA+ server, a JA+ server tracker, the clan tag protection I already mentioned, and Slider improved some of the already present features. This is an incredible mod that I would definitely be using because it's so configurable if I still ran a JA mod. Great work here. But I wonder, will it ever be done? ;) ~AmosMagee[/quote] It seems to be spread on almost every server this mod. Whats so special about this version? Well I'm not going to list everything, since it would take years of scrolling, but these are a few of them: [b]New Player Animations:[/b] There are hundreds of interesting things here, you can now catch and hang onto ledges, to avoid falling. An extremely good thing for the movie makers out there. The new moves are cool, melee and saber moves. Holstering your saber, when you switch to melee your saber goes to your belt, and if it's a sword it'll go in a holster on your back. It makes the game feel much more 'Jedi-Like'. Excellent for all you Role Players out there. Amkiss, some people hate getting kissed by amkiss spammers, so there's an option to slap them by pressing the push key. [b]JA+ Sabers:[/b] There are a wide range of high quality saber models included with the mod, including the recent File of the week, Dragon's Wing v2, by hatrus. [b]JK2-like moves:[/b] There is an option that you can enable, that makes the moves and physics more like JK2, (Red DFA for example) [b]Gender Support for missing skins:[/b] What this is, is if you dont have a female skin, you will see someone who is wearing that skin as Jan, not Kyle [b]Dimensions[/b] This is somthing that might bring the FFA players and the Honor players together. In JA+ 2.3, there are 'dimensions', you type /amaltdim and you go to an alternate dimension (a no rules one) where there's no grapple hook, and you cant use admin commands on someone (except /amkick) there's no god-chat either there. This is an amazing feature which I'm sure will improve JA+'s status with FFA players. [b]Ampunish and Amslay removed[/b] Two commands that can be abused to hell have been removed [b]Bug Fixes[/b] A large number of bug fixes from the previous version are all here, check out the readme and stuff to see the list. That's just some of it, there's quite a bit here. Everything else is still there too, besides ampunish and amslay. Update your servers and enjoy the new features. -Rink [b]If you just want the client plugin go[/b] [url=http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/JA_Client_Side_Plugin_v13;41256]here[/url]

Movie Battles II V0.0.2 - Full
never anything on this level. I present to you, Movie Battles II, the product of untold hours of work from some of the best and brightest skinners, mappers, coders and modder's ever to play Jedi Knight. I have to say a massive thank you right now to the Movie Battles II team, not only for allowing me to review their gargantuan mod, but also for allowing us to host the file here on JKFiles, where it will join the ranks of the most famous Jedi Knight mods of all time, here in our Great Library of Jedi Knight-exandria. ;) This is going to be a biiiigg review! Whew, where to start?! Well, firstly I have to say that although I really love the mod and think it is great how it has become so popular, popular enough indeed to have its own community within the wider JKA community, I cant help but feel a little worried. Why? Well, I cant help but feel that in order to produce a mod of such grand scope and fantastic quality, they have poached some of the best talent from JKA in general. For example, many of the incredible skins, weapons and even maps are only available for MB2, which is kind of a loss for the JKA community in generally, unless you are somewhat sneaky and take a skin out of the MB2 assets and pack it up for personal use in JKA. Ehm, not that I am endorsing that at all... muahaha... ;) Personally I would really love to see more of the MB2 assets available to base JKA players in general, since that would help keep [i]both[/i] communities strong and provide us with a long stream of excellent files to review! But that is of course up to the MB2 team and the individual authors. Since this is the latest version of Movie Battles II, what improvements does it include? Well, for a more comprehensive list you can see the changelog, but to highlight some of the major ones; [*] Multiple new maps, including the Emperors Spire and Malachor V [*] Updates to various existing maps, such as Duel of the Fates and Tatooine. [*] Fantastic mini-maps for most of the maps, which give you a detailed overview of your location in the map and the location of others, you can also enable a larger overview map from the Movie Battles II options. This is one of my personal favourite features! [*] Lots of new bug fixes. [*] Lots of new gameplay tweaks and improvements, including the abilities purchases using the points system (again, see the more detailed changelog for details!). [*] Some new weapon sounds and various improved effects. [*] Too many more to mention right here! So what kind of features does this gigantic mod have? Weellll... [b][u]Models and Skins[/u][/b] For starters, there is a vast selection of models and skins there are available to choose from, out of each class that you can choose from ingame, there are several, sometimes even a dozen or so, different skins or models you can choose from. For instance, the Sith Class features, among others; Darth Traya, Count Dooku, Jerec, several versions of Darth Maul, Darth Malak and even Darth Talon! And that is only one [i]class[/i]! Along with that there are yet more skins/models available in Full Authentic mode that are not available in Open mode, including, but not limited to; Darth Revan, Bastila, numerous Clone Trooper skins and other equally cool characters! (PLEASE MB2 guys, release that Revan skin for Base JKA, that would be an instant hit!). Bear in mind that these are all made by top notch modelers and skinners, and so all are fantastic quality. Most of the custom models/skins also have custom sounds to go with them, rounding them off nicely. Multiply this by the several classes that there are to choose from, both on the light and dark team sides and you get a he amount of skins and models, the work that must have gone into the skins and models along must have been huge. [b][u]Weapons and Effects[/u][/b] Then there are the new weapons and the effects that go with them. For instance, there is the Westar M5 and BlasTech A280 Blaster Rifles, (I happen to own a very nice A280 in Star Wars Galaxies ;)) as well as the Fallann Hyper Rifle as used by Zam Wesell in Episode II. Various weapons also have additional features which can be unlocked by purchasing points in the relative categories in the points screen, For instance if you fully upgrade the A280, not only do you get the ability to rapid fire, but also a sniper scope too, further increasing the weapons potency. That's not to mention the rocket launchers and various pistols and carbines, all modeled in high quality and with custom effects and sounds! Then there are several different kinds of grenades as well, which are available to particular classes (once you have spent the points to get them of course). While I am on the subject of effects, I should mention that you definitely need to play ingame to see how good they are, since no screenshots could do them justice. The way lumps of debris fly out of an explosion with a trail of dust and other such things are much more realistic than the Base JKA effects and definitely add to the combat. There are also two different levels of effects, normal; which is, well, normal, and high; which is more graphically intensive but also looks much better. Obviously if you have a powerful computer, you will want to use the full fat 'high' mode. But its good that there is also a lower setting so that people with older computers aren't shut out. The lightsaber blades and trails though are something pretty special. Unlike the base JKA saber blades and trails that we are all used to, when you swing a lightsaber in MB2, the trail actually looks like like the sharp blur (oxymoron's FTW!) of a moving lightsaber as you see in the films, rather than just a fuzzy trail out behind the blade like they are in Base JKA. The only other mod to my knowledge that has this impressive effect is the Open Jedi Project. PLEASE somebody make a mod which gives us these kind of movie realistic blades and saber trails in Base JKA! [b][u]Maps[/u][/b] Well, I already mentioned that this latest version of MB2 adds the Emperor's Spire and Malachor V, among others to MB2's already impressive repertoire or maps. Some of the other movie themed maps include, but are not limited to: Mustafar, Tatooine, Mygeeto, a Trade Federation Battleship (as seen at the start of Episode I), The Star Forge, The Valley of the Jedi, Kamino, Utapau, the Tantive IV and many, many more! The maps are the only area where I feel some improvements could be made, since some of them date to way back and aren't up to the same kind of standards of detailing and such that the newer maps are. That isn't to say older maps such as Lunar Base aren't great too, in fact gameplay wise they are just as good as the newer ones, I just feel they could do with a bit of a sprucing up detail wise. Speaking of Lunar Base, I just love that window which, when broken, sucks people out into space! In this new version, it also amazingly registers kills and team kills! Some of the best mappers around have made maps for Movie Battles II, and no doubt as more updates are released more maps and locations will be added. What is my favourite map? Well, that is a touch choice! So many of the maps are beautiful to look at (gotta love that Mustafar Skybox!) and feel alive and interactive. I did very much like the Malachor V Trayus Core duel map, since good KotOR 2 themed maps seem to be lacking from JKA, but I also liked Lunar Base because of its excellent layout and gameplay. But then Comm Tower is also a great map, and it reminds me of the original Jedi Knight and JK2 as well. Well, I guess I cant pick a favourite myself, not without spending a lot more time playing MB2 to find out all the ins and outs of each map anyways. As I mentioned earlier, many of the maps now also have mini maps which are displayed in the HUD, this is one of my favourite features as it actually shows a map, with [i]walls[/i], unlike the Base JKA radar map, which only shows objectives and such. This makes it much easier to tell where your team mates, objectives and enemies are in relation to the structure and layout of the map. That brings me nicely onto... [b][u]The HUD and Menu's[/u][/b] As well as having a nice new mini map, the entire HUD has been revamped with new graphics. There are two new indicators on each side of the screen for your health, shields, ammo, force and saber style, which look much better and sleeker than the base JKA ones. I personally would love to see these parts of this HUD used for a Base JKA HUD mod, if any of the MB2 guys would care to make one for us *nudge nudge*. ;) There is an options menu section dedicated to MB2 options, including setting keys for your class special actions (such as being able to sprint faster for a limited period etc.) and also a media section for setting your screenshot key, and the ability to set a key to record a Demo movie! Whilst I personally prefer to use Fraps, this is definitely a much needed option in JKA and one that I am sure people will find useful. The menu's overall are easy to navigate and look good, the main menu, with that picture of the sun bursting over the horizon of Coruscant is very nice, although I think it would be even better if there was a set of screenshots or images that the main menu background cycled through, just to add a bit more movement to it (since it seems a little still compared to the Base JKA menu, with its little video set in the middle). [b][u]General Gameplay[/u][/b] The main complaint that I have always had with Movie Battles II was that you can die quite quickly, and you don't respawn. That is unless you have spent points in the section which allows your particular class to respawn, 'reinforcements' I think it is called. This complaint has most likely come from being someone who has played and enjoyed a lot of Siege, a gametype in which the gameplay is fast and furious because people are constantly dying, respawning and running like headless chickens to get back into the action, making for some insanely frantic battles. Indeed on Siege Hoth, if you are a Rebel tech, its not uncommon to put up a shield on the bridge (to stop the AT-ST advancing) and then simply throw yourself into the chasm so you can die, respawn, and put down another shield. Since you often only get one life, maybe a few if you have spent points in 'reinforcements', in MB2 it stops this kind of insane gameplay, and thus it seemed a bit slow to me at first, since I died and then that was it. However, as I have played MB2 more, I have come to appreciate the delicately balanced game mechanics which go into it, and once I got used to it, the dying issue didn't bother me so much, though I still personally prefer the ferocious gameplay of a 16 vs 16 Siege game, but that's just me! :P The features I have mentioned above, such as the vast variety of weapons, skins/models and maps, along with different gametype's makes this pretty much a game in of itself and I can see who it has become so amazingly popular. The points system does take a little getting used to and you have to be quick when you start to spend those points where you want them before the round starts. The class system, and the abilities and weapons available to each can also be bewildering at first, but with a bit of practice you will soon get used to it! One nice new feature for this version is that you can now continue to move while using voice chat, which makes the process both quicker and less hazardous to your health. After all stopping in the middle of a fight to open up the voice options and find the button for 'roger!' is likely to get you killed! This latest version of MB2 is full of neat little features like that, and I am sure more of the same will be added in future versions so further enhance gameplay. [b][u]Conclusion[/u][/b] All in all a monumental mod, more of an entirely new game in itself to be honest. If you want to know more about what is new for this version, then you should check out the changelog which is in the readme section below. The full readme for the mod can be found in the .zip. The only downside with downloading this is the sheer insane size of it. In fact it is very close to the size of Base JKA itself! This is definitely worth a download, and you guys had better make sure this gets to the top of our download charts, since the MB2 team is paying me 2 Millio... uhh, did I say that out loud?! Umm, cookies, that's it, yeah they are giving me cookies to review this. They aren't bribing me with millions of dollars to give them a good review, not at all. Complete nonsense! Don't forget to view the videos below! ;) ~Nozyspy~ Subaru is awesome. There you go, I actually put that in here! View the video below to get a taster of what Movie Battles II is like: And here, for your viewing pleasure, a preview of things to come!

Star Wars Movie Duels
now, regardless of whether or not you play SP mods. In fact, download it now even if you don't have the game. Go buy the game while you wait. :p Now, I know some of you may look at the file size and freak out - the installer is 875 MB. But it's worth every KB! I don't play SP mods very often, and I just couldn't stop playing. So, let's begin! First off, those menus are excellent. They are easy to navigate and they look nice. Two thumbs up for that alone. :thumbsup: One of the unique things about this mod is that you can play on the good or evil side in most of the scenarios. Taking the side that is supposed to lose usually has some creative storyline involved...in fact, it's quite fun for those people who just love being extraordinarily evil for no reason. Like the first version, the only movie-based duels available are the prequels. I guess it would be rather difficult to create duels based on the original trilogy, what with them being less epic and all. Episode I [b]Short Negotiations[/b] covers the very first fight sequence in Episode I, where Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan are sent as ambassadors to Naboo to resolve the trade dispute. There are many embellishments here, but overall, it's true enough to the original story. [b]Outskirts of Tatooine[/b] is the duel between Qui-Gon and Darth Maul right before they depart for Coruscant. This one was mostly true to the story, the only thing it was missing was the bike at the beginning (unless I somehow missed it). [b]Duel of the Fates[/b] - Wowie! Very well done. Beginning in the hangar bay and moving into the purply-white-lightning-tube section, this one had it all. It seemed like every little detail was checked with a fine-tooth comb. Everything worked wonderfully, with one exception - when I took over as Obi-Wan and the force fields released, I ran backwards and was locked out. After a very long, patient wait, I decided it was time to noclip back in and finish the job. The ending cutscene did not disappoint, either. Episode II [b]Escape Jengo Fett[/b] is a recreation of the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango on one of Kamino's landing pads. I didn't play the winning side, so I can't say whether or not the fight is entirely accurate. When I played as Obi-Wan, the fight consisted of Boba flying around shooting while Obi-wan tried to slash him up. After enough damage was dealt, a fistfight ensued. [b]Tusken Camp[/b] should be pretty obvious by the name. Anakin is looking for his mother, and he has found the Tusken camp. The mission is simply to break into the tent from the back and discover your mother is dead. Then all tuskens must be destroyed. On paper, it's short, but in-game, it's a little longer than that. [b]Geonosis Arena[/b] begins with Windu's appearance during Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme's execution. I had some serious problems while testing this one...when the battle began and I jumped into the arena, the game lagged terribly. I assume this is because of all the AI calculations happening at once - but still, I'm running a 2 GHz core 2 duo - I shouldn't have any problems with that. Immediately afterward, I was looking for the path to travel on next, and I stumbled on a door that could be force pushed. On opening it, I was able to walk outside the map and see the void in many areas. It was obvious I was on the wrong path...so I turned back and found the correct one. After rescuing Shaak Ti, Jango Fett jumped onto the field. He was the final boss. [b]Battle of Geonosis[/b] was probably the least accurate. A large part of this is due to limitations of the engine and the lack of SP source code, so I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. I just expected "all forward positions are advancing" to mean that somebody, somewhere, was actually advancing. :p [b]Count Dooku's Escape[/b] is the long duel sequence at the end of Episode II with Count Dooku. Everything seemed accurate here, and I didn't see anything wrong. I think the force battle between Yoda and Dooku could have been elongated, but that would have detracted from the play time. Episode III [b]Rescue Over Coruscant[/b] - Defeat Count Dooku. Anakin and Obi-wan fight at first, then you go solo as Anakin. Not much else to say here. [b]Engage General Grievous[/b] includes the original confrontation on Utapau and the ending on the landing pad, where Obi shoots Grievous' insides out. It was a little short, but c'mon, did you really expect to see the entire chase scene recreated as well? [b]Arrest the Chancellor[/b] was probably the best one, aside from Duel of the Fates. Windu and his three Jedi accomplices walk into Palpatine's office to arrest him, and he fights back, saber in hand. Eventually you, as Windu, force palpatine to beg in the corner of the window, then Anakin shows up. From there, your destiny is in your own hands. [b]Attack on the Jedi Temple[/b] was hard. Only a few scenes from here were shown in the movie, like the killing of the younglings. But now, instead of the camera cutting away after your lightsaber comes on, you get to kill them yourself. On top of that, you have a lot of jedi to slice through on your way to the center of the temple. [b]Assassination on Mustafar[/b] involves only one faction - Anakin. You are sent to Mustafar to "take care of" Viceroy Gunray and the other separatist leaders. I was unable to complete the mission without noclip, however - I couldn't figure out how to turn off the force field. Otherwise, well done. [b]Retaking the Jedi Temple[/b] - Obi-Wan and Yoda have already fought through the clones outside, and now they need to clear out the inside of the jedi temple. Clones are everywhere, and some of them have more than just guns. This was pretty fun - I loved running around as little Yoda, dodging shots and jumping into someone's face. [b]Masters of the Force[/b] was the epic duel between Yoda and Palpatine, beginning in the room below the senate chambers and then moving up into the chamber itself for an extremely difficult end...the lightning that Yoda and Palpatine were supposed to shoot back and forth didn't seem to work right, though. [b]Battle of the Heroes[/b] recreates the most intense master/apprentice duel ever in Star Wars. Anakin and Obi-Wan go head-to-head on Mustafar, from the landing pad to the inside of the building, and even across the pipes and onto the equipment hanging over the lava. There was a bug here where Anakin disappeared during a jump sequence...but really, that's easy to overlook when you consider how epic the rest of the duel is. The Rise of the Empire [b]An Old Enemy[/b] - Obi-Wan is hunted down by an old enemy that he thought he defeated long ago. It's Darth Maul - refitted with robots legs. Now you have to finish him off...on a rainy tatooine. Yeah, that was a major eye-popper. Rain on tatooine. But the duel was very interesting. [b]Darth Vader's Redemption[/b] - to become a powerful sith lord, Vader must face his former self and defeat it for good. If he loses, Palpatine dukes it out with the good anakin. [b]A New Hope[/b] was a neat surprise. For you TFU fans, here you go - a mission with Starkiller in it. I don't care for TFU at all, but if you do, I'm sure you'd be happy to play this one. Challenge Mode And if all that wasn't enough, you can play in challenge mode, which takes you from duel to duel with all the major characters. You can customize the character you play as. According to the readme, there are 15 stages. I didn't get very far...I think I should brush up on those lightsaber skills. Along the way, I did spot many small graphical glitches and some areas I felt could use improvement. But I'm going to omit most of that - honestly, the vast amount of work that was put into this mod is incredible. Anyone with the commitment and patience to produce something on this scale deserves a huge pat on the back (at least) from everyone. There was one glitch on the menus that's worthy of note, though - Battle of the Heroes' missing description is incorrect until you start loading the level. One last thing I'll mention - at first, I had difficulty testing this out, because none of the maps would start. Instead, I would be kicked out to the main menu with no error message and no way to quit the game except ctrl+alt+del. After several hours of checking installations and making new isolated copies of the game, I remembered to insert the game disc. From then on, it was smooth sailing. You may commence jeering laughter at me. But remember - if you get an error while loading a map, you will get no error screen and instead will have to ctrl+alt+del your way out of the game. It's not a bug - it's an engine limitation, and it's just a minor side effect of having an awesome menu setup. If you still haven't started the download, do so, and play it when you get a little free time. You won't be disappointed. ~Dretzel

Bloody Dismemberment
dismemberment in SP because it was write protected (or was this just a case of using the command line?) Anyway this mod makes it so everyone is dismemberable, everyone spews out blood AND you get the gore sounds too. This is not for the faint of heart or for those who distain from blood in video games - some people love the realism, some people find it very bad...then they go off on a tangent of blaming kids behaviour on it...but anyway! Actually on that note, let me quote the readme as it makes a valid point -Its a game. In the immortal words of Bart Simpson: Don't have a cow, man! -If you have an argument against blood, don't download this file. Talk about in the forums, please don't jam up the comments with arguments. See that? "please don't jam up the comments with arguments"...we don't like that here anyway so head the readme! It actually works really well! The blood looks very much like blood does in most games where it's there by default, clear puddles on the floor with splashes around it and a spray when you first strike someone, it's definately one of the better blood mods out there. Even down to the spot on color and transparency, all nicely done. I have to say thanks to the added noises too; they really make it stand out! -WadeV1589- [file="81937"]Check here for a JK2 version of this mod![/file]

Darth Vader
Luke Skywalker and the character who made star wars so popular (in my opinion of course), Mars has captured Vader PERFECTLY in everyway from the shine on his helmet, the real-like textures on his cape and the metal parts on the suit, it all looks marvellously realistic. It was a treat to go into the game and run around in game with this fantastic model, it's a model that everyone would surely like, even if they don't use it they'll download it. The sounds are there, when you roll he does the whole machine-breathing thing, there are team colors, an unmasked version, which looks amazingly accurate, and even a white Vader version! This is a true treat for anyone who plays this game, Mars and Psyko have done an awesome job. Download this or I will have to use Level 3 Force-Poke-With-Stick on you. New Sounds: Yes Bot Support; Indeed Team Support: Yeah! -Rink[/quote] Darth Daddy's Back, version 2.2 include LOTS more stuff than version one. One of the very few complaints about version one was the eyes, although alot liked them a few didn't saying how they didn't match the real vader. In this version, there are multiple Vader skins you can choose from, the episode III suit, the original trilogy suit and the others like white, no mask, default (yeah with them cool eyes), red and blue (which have been improve greatly). As well as a few little bug fixes and NPC support (there's a few NPC's you can spawn), there is now 'troop' support. Explained in the readme, in singleplayer you can spawn stormtroopers and get them to follow you. HOW COOL IS THAT?. I don't think the model could get any better, 10/10.

Spanki's SITH Customization
us get started. FIrst off, I shall give out the basic stats that Spanki provided for us in the readme. Not including the bonus skins of famous SW characters he provided, the customization offers: - 27 customization screens - 96 customizable heads ( + 11 unique heads of RPG chars ) - 288 customizable torsos ( + 11 unique torsos of RPG chars ) - 20 customizable boots - red and blue glowing lights variations - 552.960 possibilities at all These factors are no doubt earth-shatteringly astounding to the publics eyes, no less. This, however, presents a problem to those who enjoy the JCP: 32 customization screens is the limit on JA, and as such, you're left to either fend for yourself in hunting for the right outfit, or you'll have to dump one. Sort of disappointing, actually, because I felt like this could have been prevented. The reason I say this is because most of the focus on this pack was mostly in the TORSOS, as opposed to the heads. There are only actually 3 "sets" of heads to work with, so to speak. Whilst you were given slightly limited clothing options with 6 sets of heads in the JCP, now you have 3 sets with MASSIVE clothing options. Honestly, *I* personally didn't like the trade off, as it resulted in the above problem, and the head selection was a little out there for my tastes. Granted, the above paragraph IN NO WAY states that this skin pack is bad. Suffice to say, it's magnificent to behold and use. However, I'm not the kind of guy who likes his Sith to be dressed in enough aesthetics to mask his entire ethnicity half the time and be mistaken for a gluttonous merchant. Whilst this is not the case in this pack, I did notice that there weren't exactly a lot of normal, human faces. The first set of faces is dark, brooding, and unnatural looking, as a typical Sith would look like. The second set features mostly alien races. The third set is a mixture of some human and alien races. Most of the human faces in this section aren't very diverse, however. They tend to sport similar features, and as I mentioned before, there's no average looking face. Not every Dark force user bathes in pure Darkside in the morning o_O. Gripes aside, we move onto the massive department store of outfits. My word, looks like black and brooding is in this season, eh? =_o A lot of the clothing options here were pretty dark, but a lot of them sported SOME form of alternating color, so as not to make every outfit the same. Armor variations and what have you were also included in this pack, so you can go into combat well-armed. Featured exclusively in this customization to stand out from the JCP would be the ability to have a "hood only" customization option, so as to mask your visage without having the heavy robe to carry about. Diverting away from the customization section, we can see in our menu that we have 11 delicious characters to select now. They are: Exar Khun Darth Bane Darth Krayt A´shared Hett Darth Kruhl Ulic Qel Droma Kyp Durron Cade Skywalker Aviar Jagged Fel Nomi Sunrider ( I wanted to include something for the ladies :P ) Apparently one female skin was enough to say he was throwing the ladies a bone XD ⌐_⌐.... Moving on, it is safe to say that all of these skins are amazingly awesome to behold. They're finely crafted, although a lot of them don't seem to sport hooded versions. Ah well. Sounds. The majority of the sounds in this pack were composed of altered Kyle and Jaden(both genders if I'm not mistaken,) soundbits. Some taunts sounded out of place for some of the RPG characters presented, and I wasn't too thrilled when the customizations were stuck with a monstrous form of dark side Jaden's overacted lines, but overall, they were still a pretty well chosen set of sounds. So =_= here it is. Now you must decide for yourself whether to remain on your so called path of light or embrace the power of emotion, and unleash the true fury of humanoid-kind. Those willing for the latter(or both O_o) are more than encouraged to submit bandwidth to this powerful pack of skins. Me? Eh, might keep it, might not. Either way, it still stomps colons.

Jedi's Home (JL) II
really, after all considering what a smash hit the original Jedi’s Home was, it should have occurred to me that there was a good possibility for a v2. Oh well, I always seem to miss the obvious! Anywayyy…on with the review! Now, on the whole I liked the original map, it was roomy, good for clans, and had some great secrets. However there were a few things that bugged me quite a bit, one of which was the texturing in one or two areas, like that dark blue carpet in the main hall. It drove me mad trying to duel there, because I could never see my character, or my opponent properly. They just seemed to blend in with the dark carpet! Of course, when I lost because of that, I’m not sure anyone believed me when I said it was all the carpets fault. Surely other people had the same problem though? One of the main things a v2 should always accomplish is to correct the errors, or not so good bits of its predecessor. The worst case scenario is that a v2 would expand upon the not so good bits of its predecessor and get worse! I am happy to say that isn’t the case here. If you liked the original Jedi’s Home, your gonna be drooling over this one! :D Lets move onto the architecture first of all. This is really a map and a half, the architecture looks great all over. Wonderful smooth flowing lines, along with grand staircases and a lot of nice architectural detailing makes this an excellent map visually. It also feels a lot more solidly built than the original, but I guess a Jedi safe house needs to be though right? Some areas which I particularly liked was of course the wonderful main hall, with that great ceiling, but also the kind of modern-Japanese style dojo room thingies. At least that’s what they looked like to me! There is some nice architectural features and texturing in there, and the lights look pretty nifty too. ;) Now, that brings me onto the texturing, which is also very impressive. Quite a bit of the texturing in the main areas of the map is in relatively plain and simple textures, but nice looking ones nevertheless. Plain or simple textures are certainly not a bad thing if they are used properly however. In this map they are used very well I think, and personally I think they really bring out the wonderful architecture, whereas complicated, cluttered textures would draw your eye away from the architecture and more onto the texturing. There have also been some nice new shiny marble textures added to the map here and there, which i think looked rather posh! Best of all though (in my opinion at least) is that the carpet in the main area now looks much better, so hopefully I wont keep loosing my duels so much due to the colour of the carpet. I bet you still don’t believe me about that do you! :P Anyway… Just like the original, there is sooo much to explore on this map. The map itself is gigantic, and of course, theres plenty of secrets! One of the coolest bits I thought, was a transport ship that’s outside on a landing platform. Step on the boarding ramp undernieth and it brings you up into the bowls of the ship. However, if you move into the cockpit and press the controls, you can fire its laser cannons! Hopefully none of your friends will be standing infront of it…or maybe that was the idea? Mwahaha… Theres a totally revamped medical room, and also a cool duel room with a glass box that closes around the duelers (sorta like the one in Sith Council). As I said above, there is of course, plenty of secrets here. Theres hidden chambers, as well as come nifty floating dueling platforms in the sky, though I couldn’t figure out how to get there normally…I had to use noclip. Still, I imagine theres a teleporter somewhere for that. One secret that I thought was very cool was this security room that I found. It had a big screen on the wall where you could actually see one of the corridors in the map, and also when people walking through it. Just like a proper security camera! The only thing that I didn’t really like in the map was the fact that you had to press the use button on some of the doors to open them. Doing that just gets a bit irritating after a while, because I keep walking into doors expecting them to open! Owch… Besides that though I don’t remember noticing any substantial bugs, or any bugs at all for that matter! So, lets round up a few pro’s and con’s before we finish up. Pro’s: [*]An excellent map for clans. [*]Excellent looking architecture, you gotta love all those curves! [*]Solid and well-made brushwork. [*]Beautiful texturing and lighting. [*]Plenty of secrets to discover! Con’s: [*]It is very large, which can lead to you getting a bit lost if you don’t know the map well. [*]You have to press the use button on some of the doors to get them to open, which gets a little irritating after a while. This really is a superb map, which will be great for clans or RPG folk, or anyone who appreciates a well made and good looking map. An excellent map all round, be sure to give it a download!

Dark Origins Total Conversion
The story has been rewritten, the voices are all new and the dialogue in the cut scenes has been changed. Much to my entertainment when I reached that one scene with the bartender. *giggle* The only other file that obijon1138 has released was a skin pack of Mandalorians. I wasn't too impressed with that, but that was a long time ago. And this SP mod/TC almost never saw the light of day. I'm glad you released it though, John. It's a great mod that breathes new life into an overplayed and essentially dead SP game. I mean, this is worth the download simply to watch the cut scenes and stuff. The voice acting was decent and the story was intriguing. Sure, it's a little buggy, but it wasn't anything too bad. Yes, this file is big. Yes, I'm way late getting this file on our site. I'm kinda glad I'm late though. Maybe this will make File of the Week. Who knows? Download it, play it and then rate it. If you rate it based on the screenshots, I will hunt you down and ... give you a noogie or something. And I've got to applaud you John for giving credit to all those you borrowed from. I don't think one name was left off of your readme. Great job! I hope to see maybe some original SP campaigns from you. That would be awesome. ~AmosMagee

Bloody Dismemberment
ties up some potentially issue-causing loose ends. In particular, the NPC files that don\'t exist in JK2. The original mod, made by Dark Maul, was converted by J_B_ for use in JK2 without any of the added baggage that isn\'t necessary. I assume it\'s otherwise unmodified, or any modifications are very subtle. However, as with the original, you will be able to partake of \"copious amounts of blood\" and because JK2 is so much cooler than JK3 in the dismemberment department, you can scatter stormtrooper bits everywhere along with gallons of blood! Sound disgusting and gorey? Excellent. Naturally if you don\'t [i]want[/i] your game to be disgusting and gorey, you\'re more than welcome to skip over this mod. Those of you who aren\'t bothered by a little unrealistically over-the-top gore (that\'s the way we like it, right?!) will be very pleased at the new addition for Outcast! Make sure you take a look, or grab the original if you\'re looking for the JK3 variant! ~Inyri

Clone Wars Stances and Effects Mod
honest, some attacks make a shiver run up my spine. Not only that, but there is also added effects, such as, and I quote; New lightning effects, saber blades, and clashing effects. Not to mention new sounds for each of these! Lets start with the Blue stance. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to describe this, but it seems to be a cross between the art of Fencing and the art of Stabbing at the Ground. As confusing as this sounds, the stance is actually really well done, with a unique spin to it. Literally! The usual Blue Uppercut has been switched around to, what I saw, a series of three spins, all attacking in front of you. This looks slightly silly in the middle of battle, not to mention it doesn't hit everyone around you. That is, unless my calculations were entirely off and I actually did hit that ninja that ran after me... The second portion of the stances involves the 'fabled' Yellow stance. Now, this looks like an honorable position, however is extremely dangerous if put into a real life situation. In short, you hold the saber at a vertical position, what seems to be inches from your nose. Oh, don't get me wrong, the stance looks awesome. It just doesn't seem... practical.... Oh right, the attacks. Most of the swings have been changed, but none so much as the awesome Yellow DFA. Jumping into the air, cutting at the opponents below you, and breaking into a roll has never looked this amazing. Ah, the last of the Single stances. This one is the combination between an axe murderer and a ballet dancer. This stance is possibly my favorite of the three, with an attack that literally caused me goosebumps. You remember the first attack Chancellor Sidi- I mean Palpatine did against those Jedi? Yeah, the one where he spun in a circle, while jumping. Wasn't that cool? I thought it was, which is probably the reason I love Red Stance. The Red DFA has been turned into what I like to call SuperSidious. Now that we're done with the Single stance, lets move on to the speed demon Dual stance. This looks like something out of Soul Calibur, which makes me a very happy person. Alas, that happiness turned into confusion when I pulled up the Dual 'Uppercut'. It seems the player has a tendency to spin their wrists to the point where they would fall off, and they keep going. That confusion turned into happiness again at the end of the first part of the attack, where the user would repeatidly stab the opponent. And it looks awesome. The Dual DFA was harder to pull off, as I was constantly low on my Force power after defeating Raiden, God of Thund- oh, right, review. The user constantly swipes horizontally with both sabers, ending with something I... don't actually remember. I think I was electrocuted right before I did it... Ah, the Staff. Quite an impressive device. Not only can you stab someone in front of you, you can either stab the guy behind you... or even yourself! Jokes aside, the staff has been changed. To my recollection, I remember the stance has been turned into a more docile, calm stance. The Staff 'Uppercut' has been turned into what seems to be a Lightsaber Helicopter. No, you can't fly. It ends with a repeated spinning stab move. The Staff DFA is similar, just without the Helicopter move. This time, the entire body spins in midair, attacking all directions. Whew! So, the saber stances are over and done with, right? Nope! The stances also involve a new walk, which looks amazing if you're into the whole sword-at-side vengeful samurai 'you killed my father' stereotype. The run is the same for each Single stance, which beforementioned samurai can explain, but the Dual makes you run with your arms behind you, and Staff makes you run with the saber in a Bo-staff position. Melee stance has been changed, although it would be extremely useful if the hands were at your side in melee, instead of in front of you. Kinda like idle-saber. To be entirely honest, I never actually used the Force powers, but I did see some difference in the saber. I believe it's brighter, with a more realistic feel to it. The clash effects are gorgeous, especially when I accidently Yellow DFA and decapitate my opponent throught their saber. Yes, I did that on accident... The only few qualms I have are actually quite fixable. First, some attacks look entirely strange, meaning the spinhand in particular. The second one is that melee stance, also fixable with the right coding which I know Hirman has. Finally, the part that this is not an OJP modification like the last ones. I know it's stressful, and I know I don't play OJP, but other people might enjoy this on it. Installation has been provided in the Readme (PLEASE read the readme, it's there for a reason. We can't just random generate these things, you know!), and most modifications are acceptable with things such as Movie Battles II and Jedi Academy Plus. -FILE- New Sounds - Yes New Animations - Yes New Overall - Yes -Denariax-

Enhanced Saber Realism
version 2 of the original mod.

[i][b]Anyway...[/i][/b] This changes a few things from the original, mainly being that speed has been increased, boss NPC stats have been normalized, and dismemberment has been added. This should appease those people who felt that the mod moved much too slowly. Certainly an improvement over the original in some areas, but you'll have to decide for yourself whether or not you want to replace the original with this one. ~Inyri

can’t be used in Paint. While this is great and cool and fantastic, it needs to be realized that quite frankly, if you can’t convert files normally on your own, be it lack of a program or lack of skill, your skins probably won’t be accepted by the general public anyway. You can be a Maddox at paint, but that stuff just doesn’t come across well for skins. This is the sort of program that you might wind up using out of game, however. For instance, if you need to make a signature using an image from JK2, or JK3, or whatever game, you can use this if the file is in a .tga. So while this file doesn’t hold its direct purpose, it might still come in handy. ~Wassup1444465

With a minimal amount of background noise and music, these sounds will really make you feel like you [b]are[/b] Anakin Skywalker, rather than just watching him. The soundsets include an Episode 2 soundset, a neutral Episode 3 soundset, and a more Sith-like Episode 3 soundset. Of course Anakin must match his voice, so several clothing variations have been included: Episode 2 \'fro hair, normal Episode 3 duds, hooded and unhooded robes, and a battle-worn version. You\'ve all seen the WIP images that have been spread around the various community forums, and the model certainly lives up to the images. With an accurate mesh, beautiful texturing, and Infinity Blade\'s characteristically (near) perfect weighting, there\'s very little you could find to complain about. HapSlash has even gone so far as to include three head meshes: an Episode 2 head, and two Episode 3 heads with slightly differently shaped hair. Since we\'ve been waiting for, oh, about a year for this model, you\'d expect it would come with all the extras. And indeed it does. Some very tasteful team support, various NPC options, and of course a bot to play with. It also comes with single-player support (and the mouth is fully rigged for those who actually want to use it in single-player!). This way you can easily access the outfit you want to see! What more could you want? How about some spiffy shaders to complete the feel? You\'ve got it. The best Anakin model out, by a landslide. Download now... as if I had to tell you!

So much, in fact, that I can't list everything here. But that's what the readme is for! I should also note that this has to be one of the most user-friendly mods I've seen yet. Every setting has been worked into the menus and makes it pretty much idiot-proof. ;) Force powers are combinable now, so you can have Light and Dark force powers and there are 4 levels of Force. There are 4 classes for Jedi and 5 classes for Merc. Model scaling has been included and many emotes and admin commands. I can see this quickly turning into many players' favorite mod. :) Good work Azymn and all the others who put so much work into making this incredible mod! ~AmosMagee

The Academy
map. If there were ever such a thing as evolution, this would define it. Players of The Academy v2 won\'t recognise much except the core fundamentals. Everything has changed, yet at the same time so much remains the same. Firstly, I\'ll start with the main chamber. I had to use noclip to access this, as it\'s initially locked, hence the screenshots not being taken in spectator mode. This room fits the theme of a council chamber perfectly, in every sense. As well as having the Jedi theme, it also has some unexplainable academic edge to it, some element I can\'t quite isolate. Needless to say, the architecture is great, and is quite possibly the best I\'ve seen in a Yavin Temple map for ages - it\'s simple, yet at the same time visually pleasing. Not one mis-aligned texture to be found - this is the point where I realised exactly why this map had taken so long: Virtue\'s gone over it with a fine-toothed comb, and then gone over it again with an even finer one. There\'s really not much to say about this as the screenshots will say enough, except that the view over the courtyard looks good and gives it that \"campus\" feel. Leading off from the main chamber are the security rooms and a sparring room. The sparring room is essentially the same design principle as the equivalent room in v2, except that much more attention to detail has been given to it. Again, it\'s what you\'d expect. The security room is simple - it just has buttons to lock down parts of the academy. Typical Rebel base design, yet still very well constructed too look the part almost impeccably. Next is the battleground. Believe me when I say that you won\'t recognise it. It has been translated from a walled-in enclosure into a large outdoor area. The terrain looks as good as it can in Q3 engine, there\'s good use of lighting and effects, and the area is littered with weapons - leading me to believe that the majority of combat and lessons takes place out here. Across the battleground you\'ll find a small ruin with an elevator. This leads into what appears to be the dorm area. Several rooms are down here: medical room, bar, strategy center, and a few storage rooms. Everything is, again, well-designed and error-free. What impressed me most was the strategy center\'s layout - it hits the spot exactly, and I suspect that a little inspiration was likely taken from real world sources. My only grievance is that the music in the bar is still present, and there\'s no way short of deleting the mp3 to make it shut up (you can tell that I dislike that song, huh?) - which is a shame, as it clashes with the great BGM. Interestingly enough, this underground dormitory area is also a training zone, although I suspected it may be since only RP\'ers would really have much use for many of the areas (except the bar - that can universally be used as a \"Safe Zone\" in any type of server). Now... Ah, wait, screw it, I\'m too lazy to keep switching between spec and ingame modes. Ahem, now let\'s move on to the central courtyard, possibly my fave area. This is almost the same as v2, which is good, because it\'s a little bit of the original in there, but what makes it stand out is the adjoining \"Hall of Fame\" area. As well as being possibly the most aesthetically-pleasing part of the map, it contains memorials which count as a way of honoring the people who made the Academy what it is - quite sentimental, and hell, those guys deserve an honorable mention for giving up most of their free time for the benefit of a gaming community which on the whole generally doesn\'t appreciate the sacrifices that have been made for them by many. Most important of all is the memorial to Vladarion - I\'m glad that\'s still in there. An in-game memorial to an in-game friend. Nerdy? Hell yes, but really, who cares? Honoring someone you knew well and cared for is the right thing to do, and a friend is still a friend whether you know them as a human or as an avatar. Again, another display that we\'re all still humans behind the keyboards, and that can only be a good thing. OK, this review is getting long. Too long. Let\'s move on before Inyri starts making wisecracks about Oscar acceptance speeches or some such nonsense... >_> The classrooms are the core of the map, naturally. The three sparring rooms are still intact and very much unchanged aside from the removal of the viewing areas. What is really new now, is the stairways leading to elevators. These lead up to the second floor, where there\'s a brand spankin\' new classroom built for all kinds of classes. It\'s got seating (which, in non-RP terms, means \"Go stand over there so you don\'t get in the way!\" :p ), and the glass walkways make it easier to see what\'s going on around the room. Jutting off from here is a supply room for healing, and a sentry room for defensive training (which I have to admit, I took a few lessons in myself while playtesting >_> ). All in all, everything a Jedi will need to train themselves, I guess. The final room to cover, is the bridge room. I loved this one, and now with the addition of multiple levels, I love it even more. Why? I dunno, I guess I like combat in these environments. Must still be jacked in to the Matrix or something. (By the way, Ghost is WAY cooler than Neo. And Enter The Matrix should have been much longer than it was.) Er, yeah, this room is still fun for combat, and if you like, you can even simulate Revolver Ocelot-style pistol matches a lá Metal Gear Solid. ;) All in all, a fun little sparring room. Now, because I\'ve made this review extremely wordy and unnecessarily long, I\'ll summarise: - Texture Usage: All textures appropriately used and well-fitted. No errors. - Architecture: A bit plain, very simple, yet still aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. - Design: Simple, yet elegant. Made for a purpose and suits it perfectly. The theme ties in very well together. - Creativity: It\'s an updated remake. The heck are you asking me about creativity for? :p - Custom Material: Surprisingly, most of this is built with base resources. Congrats on utilising them better than Raven Software could! The few custom resources in the pack are just fine. Some of them could work better, but they\'re fine for their purpose. I admit it, I\'m gushing with nothing but praise for this. Why? Because it\'s the best map ever? No, I don\'t make judgements like that. Because it looks more awesome than any other map? Nope. So why is it then? Because it [i]works[/i]. It\'s been properly tested, properly tweaked, properly optimised, so on and so forth, and Virtue\'s delayed the release of it almost indefinitely in order to make sure it was only released when it was [i]ready[/i] - something that no mapper seems to do these days. Overall, this is an improvement in every way over v2, and the Academy members should be proud to call this their \"home away from home\". Virtue should also be proud for creating something which raises the standard and finally proves that complexity is [i]not[/i] synonymous with quality. Great work, Virtue, and I hope you expand your mapping horizons. I also hope that others follow from your example of thinking purely about the map rather than about the reaction it will get from the general public. ~ Kouen [b]Bot Routing:[/b] Yes [b]Custom Textures:[/b] Yes [b]Custom Music:[/b] Yes [b]Custom Models:[/b] Yes

\"knight\" version and a \"padawan\" version. I find the variations provided here a bit boring, however. You get one style, then color variations of it. Nothing is added as in some other packs, there is nothing \"exciting\" about them, unless you really like having different colors of the same thing. No sounds were included, so if you don\'t have the original models these use (HapSlash\'s Obi-wan and Kevin Coyle\'s Anakin) you will likely just hear boring ol\' Jaden. Personally I think the Obi-wan model has just about been beaten to death now. We\'ve got dozens upon dozens of outfits for good ol\' Obi-wan, and I\'m sure he has about six pairs of the same robes now! Please... move on to something new. We can only stand seeing the same things over and over so many times. Other than the single-player support, which is the point of the mod, no extras. These skins aren\'t even usable without using the customizations creen. They just have looots of colors. Bot Support: No Team Support: No New Sounds: No NPC Support: No ~Inyri

Obi-Wan Kenobi
work of art - I find it hard to believe a modder could come up with better than Raven ever could - just look at what they turned Luke into - yet here's proof! Obi-Wan's face is spot on, and I mean right down to that little warty thing by his nose. I review loads of Star-Wars based models, but most of them are only recognisable by the clothes, because the face always seems... wrong. And this is why I love this model over all of those :D Sure, he looks in a slightly angry mood, but by my standards I'd pick this model over any other one currently out for JK3. Obi comes with full Bot, NPC and Team Support, and 4 different skins. My favourites are the classic robed versions, which come hoodless and non-hoodless, but the war-torn version of his normal clothes (minus the robe) and his standard outfit are also very impressive, and the textures have been modelled to a high standard. The hair, which is usually the worst part of a model, is also very close to the real thing, and I am absolutely positive every Obi-Wan fan will want to download this. Now, and some of you are gonna hate me for this - there are a few small problems, but let me stress that whilst they are small, they still should be fixed. Firstly the single-player selection doesn't work - it comes up with a model not found error and I end up as a stormtrooper. It still works through the console, but I was kinda looking forward to seeing Obi in the cutscenes. I don't think it's a problem on my end, but it could be. Secondly, while most of the sounds are fitting, some have music in the background, which sounds wierd to me. Still, it's not like I ever use taunts ingame. ;) Also included in the file is Kenobi's saber from Episode 3. I have never looked closely at his saber so I can't vouch for its realism, but it does look very good. It is also in a seperate pk3 from the SP model and the normal MP model so you can remove it if you wish. I have no doubt this will be a highly-downloaded model, and I am also sure it will keep all the Anakin fans appeased untill HapSlash releases his episode 3 model :) New Sounds: Yes Team Support: Yes Bot Support: Yes NPC Support: Yes ~Szico VII~

Saber Selection
does just that. Think of it - Jaden with a saber staff during training... Okay, maybe it\'s not [i]that[/i] appealing, but maybe it\'ll spice up single-player a bit. Either way, a useful little utility to have, in case you\'re one of those who still plays single-player from time to time. ~Inyri

Sith Council
the Sith Council map. [/quote] Incidentally, the version one of this map has had over 40,000 downloads, and comparing the screens between the two versions, I can't see how this one has gotten worse, but then again, not having played the first, I can't say much more about that. What did I think about it? Well, for starters, it's big. Really big. Not as in huge terrains or giant FFA areas, but there's a lot of small, localised areas within the map, as well as a fairly spacious outdoor area with a few trees and a pretty, (albiet very square and unatural-looking) waterfall. I'm gonna start with the music used, as I think it combines with the outdoor atmosphere and the rain particularly well, even though I believe it's from the bit in Episode 6 where Vader dies, but meh, whatever. Every time i died, I spawned back in the main room. That's not to say there might not be other spawns elsewhere, and I hope I was just unlucky, as having all the spawns in the same room would be a bit boring. I'd have to say my favourite area was the cafe, as it reminded me a great deal of a typical university cafe, and I'm all for real-life stuff. I didn't have time to explore all the secrets, but I did work out that a great deal of the main room can become destroyed, leaving a giant lava pit in it e.t.c. Lots of the rooms are very well detailed and made, but of course, there's always a gripe. Some rooms kind of look like they've been slapped on, and obviously haven't had as much effort put into them, plus some are far too dark, most noticeably the bedroom areas, which are pitch black even when they have windows... (Plus I couldn't find the lightswitches, bah!) :( There's also a few missing textures on the toilet handles and stuff in here, and looking out of a few windows you can see bits of map which you shouldn't be able to see. It's an easy error to fix using the system/antiportal texture, or a decent vis blocker, and it's unfortunate this error is here, as it does spoil the views somewhat. Oh, there's also a skin called Kahn in here, wonder where that name came from.. *cough* ;) Anyway, it's a fairly decent skin (based on the Quinlan-vos model, although the hair clips through his shoulders and the textures used on the hair seem a little odd. Aside from that it looks okay, although not very sith-like, as you'd expect with this map. It's also good to see Kahn has taken onboard some suggestions from Amy's previous review: [quote]You press a button and get a weapon or ammo. It's perfect except for one thing - you can't tell what you're getting until you press the button. It would've been nice to have seen some clear labels over each button.[/quote] Now, there's clear identifiable labels over each button, so kudos to you for fixing this. Underground, theres a lot of small, torch-lit rooms for dueling and there's also a scary-looking, but easy to complete jumping room, which leads you to a suspended dueling pad, which was nice. I guess the area which was most lacking in detail was the church/choir singing section. (At least thats what it looked a little like) This area looks just, bland and the lighting was a little nasty, with no viable sources. Naturally, there's also the water bug which isn't really avoidable (with water flowing sideways) and a few other small errors with light-shafts e.t.c but I think they're all very small and localised. To top it off, there's also bot support, and some new models made for quake3. The paths are a little strange due to this, but it shouldn't effect gameplay :) New Sounds: Yes New Textures: Yes Bot Support: Yes ~Szico VII~

Revan Dark Star Wars Hilts
been redone to death, these are probably the version you\'ll want. I must say I don\'t think I\'ve seen many hilts that were done better than these. I personally can\'t see one big one that\'s missing: there\'s Yoda, Anakin, Dooku, Maul, you name it, it\'s there. I like these because they have single-player support. That means not only can you use it in multiplayer, but if you\'re one of those strange people like me that still plays single-player, you can use these sabers there as well. The shaders were done very well, also. The result is a pack of 14 beautiful-looking hilts that look great in-game and out. I\'d definitely recommend this if you\'re a hilt buff. If not, I\'d recommend it anyway. They\'re a gorgeous bunch of hilts. ~Inyri

Saber Realism
let me cover the basics of what it changes:[list][*]manual blocking[*]slowed combat speed[*]one-hit saber kills[*]massively increased automatic blocking (for compensation to the above point)[*]new saber sounds[*]other stuff listed in the read-me which I didn't get a chance to test (so read it!)[/list]My favorite bit here is the slowed combat speed and the increased blocking. It's a filmer's dream! Not that I make films... :p. Anyway, I am talentless when it comes to JA, but I managed to have some pretty awesome looking fights using this mod with only a mere reborn. So anything that makes JA cooler is a bonus in my book. Then there's the "realism" angle; after all, it's in the name of the mod! Does this make saber fighting more realistic? [i]Yes![/i] When was the last time you saw [i]any[/i] Jedi take 10 hits with a lightsaber before going down? Puh-lease. Is this increased realism a good thing? That's debatable. I like it, because I think despite the one-hit-kills it's still quite balanced (which is where a lot of similar mods fail). When he says blocking was beefed up, he really means it. In case it wasn't clear earlier, there is still automatic blocking. The manual blocking is in [i]addition[/i] to it, and it works as advertised (read the read-me for that). If you want to use this mod in multiplayer, though, you're going to come across a few problems. I'm guessing, based on the batch file, that this mod was designed for SP. In MP some notable "bugs" are the clash effect doesn't work, manual blocking doesn't seem to work, and (maybe it's just my imagination) but the sabers seem faster than in the SP. Overall it's not really working too well in MP, although you could certainly still use it. The author may want to think about working it into a usable MP mod as well, if possible. Did I mention he removed the red stance? :D (Don't cry, it's supposedly coming back in the next version. Except less ghey.) I have [i]one[/i] gripe. The sounds! No, they're not bad. They're just... well, the most common swing sound is like... a fast swing sound. And none of the swings are fast. It bothers me. The author better fix/change it or I'll cry. :p Now if that isn't a [i]minor[/i] gripe, I don't know what is... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go play through single player to see what else has been changed. :p ~Inyri

Taris RP
maps". It's a nice coincidence that this Taris RP map is being released while the Taris mapping contest is going on. Some of you probably remember Cydon (Ki_Adi_Mundi) for his Yalara roleplaying map which was a very nicely made map for roleplaying but was really lacking in the visuals, something that really turned some people off the map. He returns now after having "set out to do better, even if only slightly" with a map based on Taris, and I've got to say that he succeeded. [b]Accuracy:[/b] I want to start off by first of all saying that this isn't a map that was built to replicate the KotOR version of Taris. Everyone who's played Knights of the Old Republic knows that Taris got the $*#@ blown out of it by Malak's sith fleet, and so seeing as this is set over 4,000 years after that we can guess that the city was rebuilt and obviously the passage of time has changed some things as well. With that said, there's no mistaking that this is definitely Taris. Everything from the architecture to the sky, lighting, and of course the KotOR music just screams 'TARIS!' I was confused how the author calls Taris' lower levels the 'Undercity' when the undercity was ACTUALLY that dark and scary place on the floor of the planet that housed horrible monsters like Rakghouls and Igear. [b]Content:[/b] To say this map is a [i]large[/i] map for roleplaying is an understatement - this map is massive. You start off near one of two ships, either on the upper levels by a Republic dropship or in a lower-level hangar outside a familiar Nabooan ship which, by the way, is enterable and features all you'd expect from a ship including a briefing room, crew bunks, bridge, refrigerator, and more (I couldn't find a bathroom though... WHY DOESN'T ANYONE IN STAR WARS EVER HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM?!) If you start in the upper level then you can go down one of those suspended walkways that Taris is so famous for and visit a number of locations. You've got a nice upper brow cantina; a government building complete with senate room and military base (Which in and of itself has a ton of content, including a shooting range, armory, and prison); and various other rooms for different government or military purposes (Who knows half of what those crazy feds do?) There's also a Jedi Temple with some really cool things like a display of floating rocks in the center of the entrance area, a nice library, a council room, and basically everything you'd expect from your average Jedi Temple. Also on the upper level is a door that leads to a nice lift-area that takes you to the lower levels, specifically a starport area (The area that houses the other spawnpoint at the Naboo shuttle). This then leads out to a dark and grimy lower area with a bunch of doors as you walk down. The doors lead to a bank (Which I thought was kind of odd to have on the lower level rather than the upper level); a cantina akin to the one in KotOR complete with crime lord throne, singing lounge, and combat arena, however the arena isn't even close to the complexity of the KotOR arena which was like an actual gladiator pit - this one is just a small sand box in the floor. Then you, of course, have the sewers which KotOR made so famous. In short, there's a lot to do on this map. [b]Visuals[/b] Yalara had potential to look great but the lack of appropriate lighting, some weird terrain bugs and too simple architecture, and a really bad choice of textures in some areas just destroyed that potential. The author took just about all they they did wrong in the last map and did it [i]right[/i] in this one - probably for the better because Taris is cooler than Yalara anyway. The very first thing I can say is that this looks like Taris. The architecture fits and the lighting is great in almost every area, from the Taris sky to the grimy lower level. There are a few places that look worse than the others due to what I guess would just be low-quality architecture and/or textures, such as in the senate room which looks too blocky. There are other areas, however, where the quality of the map really shines, such as in the main chamber in the Jedi temple or the entire outside plaza of the upper levels. Something that caught my eye was how the author makes use of a lot of sprites to make it look like air traffic is busy all over Taris, and it works really, really well on the upper levels as you look at the criss-crossing lanes of traffic in the sky. Unfortunately when this is attempted in the lower levels outside a window, the effect doesn't look nearly as good; just looks like 2D toy ships flying 3 feet away. The lighting is very well done, more more so than in the Yalara map and makes a wide use of shadows and actual light sources rather than just blanket lighting. It makes the map look so nice. [b]Conclusion[/b] All in all this is a very nice map and definitely an improvement in quality over Cydon's last project. ~Laam'inui

OJP Enhanced
a new review, as screwing around with said mod a little more allows for more beef. We'll attack some general features first, that will affect all players. [b]General Features[/b] XP System: No longer are points just for strutting around like a chicken whilst you hawk how good you are whilst you secretly cry inside realizing you have nothing better to do than bully kids in a video game =_O Now you have to earn some kills, and gain power =_= each time you join an OJP server, you will have a minimum set of experience points that you can allocate to gain a number of weapons, gadgets, saber stances, and force powers. I screwed around in the Abregado Casino map and gambled for points, and I found that you have to actually kill either a bot or an actual player to gain experience points. General ratio seems to be 3 kills = 1 XP. There are in fact some XP allocation rules(these being but a few): - At certain XP levels, certain stances are locked from the player. - Force Jumpers cannot invest in Jetpack, and vice versa - A player must have 1 point in sense minimum to be a force user. - Certain levels of force user can only invest in one level of gun usage to prevent that "god character" factor. A good thing to note is that if you're in a hurry to get to the real fun, you can skip the whole "Kill, kill KILL, KILL, KILL" and avoid having to stack up all those kills just to get that toy you really want by adjusting the minimum XP count in the advanced server settings. One could also lock certain powers and weapons from here as well, as well as adjust a setting on this: - Timer System: Have trouble with people killing themselves constantly? Chill them out by making them have to wait with a modified siege timer that prolongs spawning until it runs out. Whilst it can be very annoying, it's also very useful for setting points in between bouts of madness and violence. Don't like the timer on your server? Just set 'er to 0 and you can jump right back in. - Holster System: Gunnery is now a more important aspect in this mod(more on that later,) and as such, the team found it appropriate to make things more realistic by coding in a nice system to holster your guns on your character whilst you are not using them. Only irk I found was that saber holstering really doesn't look good strapped to the front of your thigh, nor does it look comfortable. Yes, I'm guessing it's probably the whole "belt" thing, but on most models, it doesn't seem very applicable. - Improved Bots and NPCs: There are some of us out there that don't have the expensive equipment to fight all the time against other players on the internet. Never fear, as the bots have been tweaked to use the OJP saber and gun systems accordingly. Experiment around, as some bots are inclined to use guns, whilst some use sabers. NPCs are now no longer psycho sugar addicts like they were in JA+, and now fight normally. Even the force using cultists do something instead of standing there punching the air idly! A lot of the old functions in JASP work as well. The howler now lives up to its eponymous name(although it doesn't seem to hurt yet.)The assassin droid returns and now effectively has a working forcefield.Even more interesting is that, should you fall to the new NPC AI, most of the time it will actually register as a kill as if you were slain by a player. Example being this most recent one: "Averus Retruthan was blasted by Boba Fett" That was me deciding to let an NPC kill me =_,=. Naturally not all the AI is up to absolute snuff, and there are still bugs to be worked out (I.E. some of the non-human NPC's guns are in the wrong places still,) but it's definitely a 1-up on the older MP AI. - Dodge, Force, and Mishap Meter: One of the more critical elements of gameplay now relies on these three meters. These will control how long you will in essence "live," forcify, and still remain accurate, respectively referring to the above order. More will be applied as the necessary sections arrive. - New Animations: A plethora of new animations from ledge grabbing to a proverbial backhand attack lie in wait for you. Take a look around and see what you can spot =_o! - New First Person view: Gunners and saber users alike can experience battle now from the eyes of their player. Gunners will notice almost immediately that the gun is no longer at like..chest height. You can now look down and see where your gun is, and not feel like a total chode when -CO-OP Mode: Haven't had a chance to try it, but now you can try SP in Cooperative mode =_=! and finally.. - Vehicles: An older, not-as-remembered feature of OJP was that it was going to amplify vehicle functions in some respects. Unfortunately, there's not many functions to speak of on that part, as it seems to have been lost in the quest for saber research, but some vehicles now have some new alternate functions usable only in OJP. The only examples I can think of at this time are: - The droideka can now rotate in place instead of having to back up and go forward like a cheap RC car. (Found in - http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Naboo_Hills_21;31144)) - The [file="53196"]Tie-Phantom[/file] vehicle now has an active cloaking function on it. Interestingly enough, some of the vehicles seem to attack on their own if not possessed by a player. These are just but a few of the new general functions, I'm sure, but hopefully enough to have kept you going up until this point =_= now we shall attack the gun and force user aspects, in that order. [b]Mercenaries and gunnery[/b] Guns have finally returned as a force to be reckoned with. Guns are no longer dwarfed by saber using force users now. Cunning can be used effectively now, with the new gun effects. General features of the weapons include: - Ammo Clips/Reloading: every weapon now has less ammo on the count. Out of ammo? Good, reload =_= - DEMP2, Trip Mines, Concussion Rifle? Locked out unless you use cheats. - As forementioned, all guns are now no longer in your first person view by default. It's now more realistic =_>. - Thermal Detonators now can be thrown with a new bind, so you no longer have to actually select the thermal and chuck it. Range is limited though,so don't try and throw it too far. - Gun accuracy is decided by your level of XP in that slot and mishap meter. High mishap = start missing, even if aimed properly. In some cases, if you're not careful, you can be knocked down as well. Dodge will help you evade some of the more lethal attacks whenever necessary. Now, I'll report the effects of each weapon: - Blaster Pistol: Much more powerful shot. At level 3, you get a second pistol at your disposal, and your alt fire is activated, doing mishap damage to enemies, usually knocking them down if you power it enough. Suggestion: Allow the second gun to be an alternate upgrade, like the speed and ammo upgrades for the later guns. - Melee: Effective and useful when outta ammo. - Blaster: Good balanced weapon with an available rate of fire upgrade. - Disruptor: Power seems to vary now with charging in scoped mode. - Bowcaster: An effective powerhouse, now with available scope function at level 3 and a chargeable bolt (doesn't multiply.) - Repeater: Converted into a DC-15 clone rifle. At level 3, an available ammo count upgrade can be made, and the blob can be now fired at the cost of...an entire clip. Quite effective, as the blob now induces knockdown and acts as an explosive(which will be covered later.) - Flechette: Converted into a T-21 Rifle. Rate of fire controled by your tapping power. Damage is a little weak and sparse, in my opinion. - Rocket Launcher, Thermal Detonator, Detpacks: Weapons of the explosive kind don't seem to actually do immediate damage. If your dodge is high enough, and depending on where you are on the blast radius, you will be knocked pretty far. There's sadly no shrapnel or misc. damage, assuming you aren't knocked high enough where the fall will immediately kill you(a good percentage of the time.) If your dodge is low...well then, your body will be BLOWN TO PIECES AND ANNIHILATED. Now, onto the gadgets: - Bacta: Level 1 earns you small bacta, level 2 gives you big bacta - Jetpack: The jetpack has been reinvented with a new dynamic animation system. Lot more heights can be reached with this jetpack, and quite quick. Runs on fuel, of course. - Cloaking: Not much change. Still runs on fuel. - Flamethrower: huge flamethrower effect that runs on fuel. Quite impressive to behold. - Seeker Droid: Now fires stun charges, and if you hit the Use Item button, your Seeker will detach away from your perimeter and actively seek you out. - Sentry Gun: Setup time required, but is a lot more durable and reliable. - Forcefield: Now lasts longer, takes more impact, and even knocks 'tards who run into it down to the ground. This covers the basics of mercenary combat. Now... [b]EPIC FORCE USER COMBAT[/b] Considered to be the proverbial "gem" of the entire mod by the makers, saber combat has been completely redone, and converted into a powerhouse of cinematically epic system of clashing, pwnination, and strategy. Mishap, Force, and Dodge Points now are tested to their limit. Force controls force attacks, including saber swinging. Low FP = slower swings,less force ability. Low Mishap can result in a slowbounce, stagger, knockdown, or even disarming your opponent of his saber! Also, you have to be a lot more careful in watching you and your opponents movements, as you won't simply just swing and hope it hits. You can now engage your opponent with Shii-cho, Djem-So, Soresu, Ataru, Nimen, Juyo, and Makashi(

Count Dooku
every way... Count Dooku\'s cape isn\'t stiff like on other models, his cape flows nicely, I\'m sure alot of you are glad to hear that :P. There are several skins included with the model, there is the default which is Dooku\'s Episode III robes, an Attack of the Clones version, which is his clothes from Episode II, the team skins and an imperial version (you need to download Hapslash\'s \"Improved Imperial Officer\" to see it) What I really like about the model is the attention to detail, it looks exactly like Christopher Lee, who plays Dooku in the films and there is nearly no clipping what so ever. Not only do you get this awesome model, Hapslash has also included Dooku\'s Lightsaber hilt, and an optional overwrite hilt. There\'s an NPC there, and new sounds. Most of the sounds are from Episode III, and I think they were great choices they fit well into combat. Pretty much the best model to come to JKA so far in my opinion, and I think I speak on behalf of the whole community when I say, Thank You Hapslash and Infinity Blade.

Ultimate Jedi Academy v3
are a fan of hollywood_g1\'s previous work we have a treat for you today! The Ultimate Jedi Academy Mod is a huge pack of skins containing several of hollywood_g1\'s previous packs like his Ultimate Expanded Universe, amazing Reborn Reskins and such. If you are a fan of his previous work, you now have pretty much all of his best skins all in once place! I have seen quite a few of the authors skins and how he has improved his skills over time, and I have to say there are some really fantastic skins in this pack. The Alora reskins in particular I think are outstanding, the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Talon]Darth Talon[/url]-esque tattoos really give Alora a whole new and more fearsome look. Apart from full skins there are a vast amount of body parts to use via the customisation menu, including heads, torsos and legs of various kinds. My favourites out of the customisation options are the armoured Jedi options, seriously, if you are going to duel someone with a glowy stick than can cut you in half, doesn’t it make sense to wear some armour?! Of course, you could always use the Armoured Reborn too! ;) Multiple other skins have also been given new shaders; Shadowtroopers now have shiny armour and the Artusian crystal on their chest glows on and off as if it is beating like a heart. The skin texture on the Transoshan model has also been made to look rougher and more scaly, though the eyes also look like that have a texture, which seems a little weird. And in the case of Boba Fett, he has been given a complete makeover with new shaders and some nice higher resolution textures. If Boba isn’t to your liking, then there are other Mandalorian themed skins to choose from too. Apart from the skins there is also a new splash screen for when the game is loading, the ability to choose a red lightsaber blade in singleplayer and some new menu music as well. But it doesn’t end there! There are also a couple of new lightsaber hilts included courtesy of HOUOU such as his Rahm Kota and Galen Marek hilts. As far as guns go there have been some colour adjustments to make them look a little more movie accurate, though for full movie accuracy the bowcaster should really shoot red bolts, rather than green. It would take forever to cover all the skins and features on this mod, and though there is a brief list in the readme this is something that you really need to download to discover all the the cool stuff that is in here. Of course a mod of this size os not without a few bugs. Two of the team variations of the Rockettrooper skin throw up an error along the lines of \'you are trying to load an unsupported model\' and then something to do with \'missing bones\', which sounds quite disturbing and brings to mind an image of a jelly like person flopping around. Still, other Rockettrooper skins included in this mod do work, so I am sure it can be fixed. Also, I noticed that the last set of \'Jaden legs\' appear as invisible on the model once selected and makes Jaden look like he has had a terrible accident. Apart from these bugs, some improvements I would suggest for any future versions of this pack are things like adding some customisation options for the female characters, perhaps making some parts similar to the Tavion and Alora skins for people to use for a customised female skin. I also think the Jaden heads could do with some more variety, perhaps with some more different kinds of facial hair, or even lopping Kyles head off and allowing us to mash up Kyle\'s epic beard with the Jaden bodies. All in all though this is a really superb mod that is a lot of fun to use, especially if you prefer customising your characters. Keep up the excellent work hollywood_g1, I would love to see more of these packs in the future! :) ~Nozyspy~[/quote] So what do we have new this time around? Well the broken Rocket Trooper skin that I mentioned in my previous review has now been fixed, so you now have more variation to choose from. On the texture side of things, the \'gloved hand\' look has been replaced with a fleshed hand look (although it would also be cool if there were gloved hand options as well, as gloves can look cool), and the Thermal Detonator has been given a rub with a polishing cloth to make it more shiny and has had some new blinking lights added. There are also a couple of new \'chromed\' textures made and added to all the metal textures in the game to give a more Force Unleashed kind of look, although it would be cool if this was an optional .pk3 that you could install as not everyone might prefer the new look. Also, all the current weapons have also been given this new \'chrome effect\' shader to polish them up too. Lastly in addition to the base JKA hilts the author has also added Luke Skywalker\'s hilt to the selection menu for even more variety! All in all a nice little update to a cool mod here, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in the future hollywood_g1! :) ~Nozyspy~

Darth Revan
the Star Wars Expanded Universe; what happened to Darth Revan? It was revealed in KotOR 2 that he journeyed into unknown space in search of the \'true Sith\'. Ad up till now that was all we knew. Maybe more of that story would have been explored in KotOR 3, but that was scrapped shortly after pre production began. Hopefully now we will have some answers from the masterful story tellers at Bioware! Anyways, until then we have a Darth Revan model to sate your appetite! Made by Almighty_gir, this is an excellent piece of work. The modelling details on the belt with that large metal ring especially look good. Incidentally this is also the area that changes colour for the team skins. To be honest I probably would have simply recoloured all the red sections of the default skin for the team skins, but this way is nicely subtle. Though the blue belt ring does kinda clash with the red parts of the robes on the blue team skin. The one thing that I definitely think needs some improvement though is the cloak, since it looks very flat texture wise. Some more creases or folds in the fabric would improve it I think. Other than that a very good skin and model here, though some custom sounds would be nice. Yes I know, apart from the odd sentence the player says in KotOR like “ugh, I’ve been poisoned†Revan doesn’t have any voice overs, but I’m sure you could find some menacing sounding taunts somewhere that would pass for Darth Revan. ;) All in all though an excellent model and skin, I hope you decide to do more KotOR characters in future!

UltimateWeapons
Version[/file][/b] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well here it is finally! The Ultimate Weapons mod v1.3! I reviewed the trailer for this a few weeks back and was deeply impressed with what I saw. Realistic explosion physics and effects, better weapons sounds and better weapons effects too, I was eagerly awaiting the release of this mod, and now…here it is! And it certainly doesn’t disappoint! What we have here is a very comprehensive collection of both some of the author’s own work, and the best of other modder’s work too, all compiled into one all encompassing mod! There’s simply too much for me to describe here, so I will get right to the best bits! [b]New Sounds[/b] As far as I could see (or should I say heard?) it seems like every weapons sound sets have been replaced with movie accurate sounds. One of the most noticeable is the sounds for the E-11 Blaster rifle. To be honest I wasn’t that fond of the default JKA sounds for the E-11, they seemed a bit too high pitched. Thankfully this mod completely changes the sounds to ones that are much more like those you actually here in the films (like the detention center breakout from A New Hope). I also liked the change of sounds for the Flechette launcher and Bryar pistol too. All in all a vast improvement over the default JKA sounds, and that goes for all the weapons! Also included are new lightsaber sounds, which sound more like the ones from the Original Films and also the original Jedi Knight games, along with new sounds for force powers and melee attacks too. I liked the change of the force power sounds, they now sound much more discreet and realistic compared to the rather loud default JKA ones. [b]New Weapons [/b] Here the mod gets even better. Not only does it have completely new sounds, there are also four new weapons or should I say, replacement weapons included. Three are the Bryar pistol, E-11 Blaster rifle and Thermal Detonator from the JKA Dark Forces 2 mod (which replace their respective default weapons), and the other is the DC-15A more commonly known as the Clone Trooper blaster rifle, from the Movie Battles II mod. The new improved repeater rifle, with new shot effects and sounds looks much better than the original, but if you want a change from that, just put the optional DC-15A .pk3 in your base folder and the repeater is replaced with the clone rifle. The Wookiee Bowcaster has also been given a good polish up, as have some of the other weapons. [b]New Weapon Effects[/b] Along with new sounds and some replacement weapons this mod also has new weapon effects. For example, new muzzle flashes and blaster bolts. The projectiles for the repeater rifle have been changed to look bluish and the secondary fire has been changed as well, which I think looks great. Its pretty similar with the rest of the weapons, the E-11 blaster bolts have been changed, and now look much better, as have the firing effects for other weapons. The lightsaber has also received an upgrade with new blades made by D'halaine to look more like the saber blades seen in Episode 3 One interesting case is the Bowcaster. We all know that in the JK Games thus far (at least Mysteries of the Sith, JK2 and JKA) the Bowcaster bolts have traditionally been green. However, if you look at the original films, the Bowcaster bolts are actually red. This mod changes the green bolts to red, thus making it more realistic to the films. If though, you don’t like the red, there is an extra .pk3 you can put in your Base folder, which will change them back green again. But not only does it change the colour, it also improves the green Bowcaster bolt effects, so it is now much improved. [b]New Particle Effects[/b] This was one area I was super happy with! It seems to be an unusual (mostly male) characteristic that we like watching things explode and blow up. Whilst women on the other hand like nice quiet romantic stories…well give me a few explosions any day! :P Well I am very happy to say that the explosions and particle effects have been [b]massively[/b] improved over the default JKA ones. The explosions now actually look like powerful the explosions that you would expect to get from Thermal Detonators or Rocket Launchers. Along with that are all the little chunks of things and sparks and shrapnel that fly everywhere (very realistically). Along with the explosions is the new blaster hit effects. Instead of just a black blob on the wall (or indeed another player!) when you hit it with a blaster bolt, you now get what looks like a proper hole that’s been blasted out. Along with that you also get little glowy bits in the middle, and even a small tongue of flame (also like we saw in the movies when a Stormie blasts a chunk out of a wall). [b]Extras[/b] On top of all of that, as I have already said, there are some replacement weapons, and a handy .pk3 file for changing the Bowcaster bolt colours around from red to green and back again. Then there is also another couple of optional .pk3 files, which you can choose to use. One is a .pk3 file, which is called; ‘zzz_UltimateWeapons_LQEffects.pk3’. As the name suggests if you find that your computer is running slowly with the full-on-super-high-quality effects, you can put that .pk3 in your base folder and it makes the effects simpler and less taxing on your systems resources, which is great if you have a slower computer. I really think that was a nice thing to add in there, as it makes the mod even more accessible to people. :) Lastly we have another optional .pk3 which disables the blood effects in the mod. Personally I’m not that fond of blood effects, since laser bolts and lightsaber blades would in reality cauterise the wound and should stop it from bleeding…there goes my geek side again! :P The blood effects are on as default in the mod, but if you don’t want them to appear, you can put the ‘zzz_UltimateWeapons_NoBlood.pk3’ in your base folder and this will remove the blood splatter effects. [b]Conclusion[/b] All in all then an absolutely fantastic mod here, and what is more, it works in Single Player too! Though there is the possibility that this mod will conflict with other weapons mod’s and such, but that is to be expected considering how many things this changes. So if you want to know more about that, take a look in the files readme for more information. To be honest, this compilation is as close as I think it is possible to get to a perfect all round weapons mod for Jedi Academy, it truly recreates the movie feel in the game. And personally I think that this really breathes some fresh life into JKA when you play it. Fantastic work here D'halaine! I [i]very[/i] strongly recommend a download here, you wont be disappointed! :D ~Nozyspy~

Naruto Skinpack
many people. But googling for the characters I was able to find that the skins show similarities to the anime counterparts. As you can probably guess it uses the cloud model, looking at the pictures I\'ve found I guess it makes sense for the hair. But are there no other models out there with shorter hair? Well the skins look incredibly flat, no real texturing to the body or the face for that matter. I do like the Kakashi skin more though.. It looks as though more work has been put into it. I\'m not too keen on the Naruto skin because well.. That orange jumpsuit looks like it\'s attached to him. A little texture on the clothing could go a long way to making this skin look better. I\'m not too fond of the face either, although you can see the similarities between it and the anime character. The model picked just makes the face look long yet comical. Points given for it being a first skin and for some attempt to resemble the character. Now the Kakashi skin, I like this more than the Naruto one but it isn\'t all that much better. For this skin I think the hair is really the let down to it. Again it looks flat and lifeless, that could be solved with a bit more complex texturing perhaps? The clothes also look a bit lifeless but at least you can somewhat believe that they are clothes instead of painted skin, perhaps because it\'s not just one colour? I\'m not sure but I do know I think it\'s not too bad a skin. Now both skins lack sound, team and bot support, although sound and team support are hopefully going to be added in future versions of the pack. Kudos for the first skinning efforts and I hope you try and add a little extra detail into the skin. Skin Stats: New Sounds: No Team Support: No Bot Support: No -Mithran-

ForceMod III - Return of the Sith (Win Installer)
Academy. ForceMod III - Return of the Sith gives you the option of nearly 30 different classes. I can\'t even list all of the classes here, there are just too many. But as an example, as a Jedi Warden, you get a limited number of force powers, a lower saber attack level, but you get a Bryar. As an Aurorian, you get all light side force powers (up to level 4!) and level 4 attack and defense at max, but no other weapons other than your sabers. There are many other variations on these limitations which really seem to balance the mod/game. There are several new stances added - some specifically for single, dual or staff sabers. Some of the sabers are destructable as well. There are many new special moves added and a ton of other stuff including, but not limited to, cloaking, flame gauntlet, optic radar and a jetpack. There\'s just so much here, I really can\'t cover it all. Download this mod and check it out. I wouldn\'t be surprised if this starts popping up on a bunch of servers. :D ~AmosMagee

Backhand Lightsabers
picked wisely. :p And so, here is a nice little set of lightsabers from HOUOU. Anyone who played the console EPIII video game will instantly recognize this funky backhand fighting style. And this is basically all the mod does, the author made a rather simple (but neat looking) hilt to go with his backhand lightsaber, called sniper. There are three pk3s included, a regular version of his sniper hilt, a backhand version, and a backhand Katarn hilt. There are some major issues with multiplayer, as the game seems to crash when trying it out with all pk3s in your base folder (solo mode worked perfectly fine). The solution would be to pick one, and stick with it, or not use them in MP... After all, I doubt any server would simply allow exploits like that, but if you find one, enjoy. ~Metall Pingwin

Darth Revan From KotoR
skin, I have no idea if it looks just like Darth Revan or not. I couldn\'t, for the life of me, find a picture of him anywhere! So I\'m just gonna take the author\'s word for it, and believe that this is exactly what Darth Revan looks like. The skin has a very muted look to it. Maybe that was intentional. I like it. The red and blue skins for team support are just what you\'d expect. Nothing fancy here, just red and blue, respectively. There are no new sounds, just the plain Raven ones. The author mentions that it makes sense because you never hear Darth Revan speak. Well, wouldn\'t it make more sense to include a couple of silent sounds? An update to include those sounds and bot support would be nice, I suppose, for those who really like this skin. :) Bot Support: No Team Colors: Yes New Sounds: No ~AmosMagee

The Force Unleashed Animations SP
Unleashed is in a way the spiritual successor of the Jedi Knight series. Therefore I suppose it isn’t surprising that we get a steady stream of The Force Unleashed themed mods here at JKFiles. This latest mod gives JKA a TFU flavour by adding in TFU inspired animations for several things, including death, roll and lightsaber animations (though there only appears to be one lightsaber style from what I could see). It also adds a TFU style HUD in the top left of the screen as well as new menu and map loading images. Not only that but there seems to be a few new sounds and even new saber clash effects (which look much better than the Base JKA ones I think). The lightsaber style animations look pretty good, and I like the addition of the new splash images, menu and loading screens along with the HUD. There are a couple of things that could do with improving though, one being the new splash, menu and loading screens, which look quite pixelated, I would definitely suggest trying to find some higher resolution images for these. The other thing is the roll animation, which is now a kind of force dash; the characters pose looks a little awkward and the length of the dash is not very far, if possible I think it should be lengthened a little and the characters pose worked on some more, but that’s just my opinion! Overall however, a nice compact mod with several TFU inspired animations and other features that I think is worth a download for fans of The Force Unleashed series! Give it a download if you like the look of it! ;) ~Nozyspy~

Clones Ultima
have seen his original clones for JO. I, to this day, still use one of the reskins. This project is also very interesting, because it was not done by one man, but by 6. The Clonetroopers had to fight in an uncomfortable type of armor during the first years of the Clone Wars. That armor is called the Phase I armor and we've already seen it as a JO/JA model - Marz gave it to us in the previous pack. The models were kind of thin, and generally looked... strange. The new version corrects this, and they finally look like they were supposed to. There are quite a few color variations included, red, green, yellow and more. However, I really miss a SWBF1 Jet Trooper (a green clone with a jetpack, that is featured on the ARCs). It's pretty easy to do, too... Oh well. The ARC Trooper are great, lots of accessories, there are actually a little bit too many. You can't turn the jetpack off (coincidentally the very same jetpack that can be used to create the Jet Trooper) . Once again, there are many variants, and wow... They look great... When they're not moving. The legs clip through the skirt, and the pauldron is invisible from underneath. The model and the skins are really great, but these bugs always kind of down-grade it. The clones were given some better clothes later in the war, dubbed the Phase II armor. You could see the designs in Episode III. Noone has ever released a new model of these trooper before, there were, however, a few tries to skin them on a stormtrooper. The basic Clonetrooper is nice, just as it should be. There are quite a few paint jobs available, orange, green, grey, blue, red. They all have scratches over their bodies and are absolutely terrific, skin-wise. Detailed. And there's the Shadow Clone, something pretty new. He's nice, check him out on the screenshot below. There's also Gree, one of the few unfortunate clone commanders. He was slayed by Yoda on Kashyyyk. Once again, a detailed skin, everything as it should be. Next, Neyo! He seems to be an un-mirrored and reskinned Clonetrooper. He's okay, nothing spectacular. Commander Bacara is very nice. However, the skirt clips again! Bly, his troops, and Comamnder Deviss are almost perfect... Almost. Deviss doesn't have his binoculars down, as he should have (he always does in the promo screenshots). The skin is done very well, and will probably be one of my favourites. Along with this one, the 2nd Airborne trooper, sometimes called the "beehive trooper" at various JA forums. I think that he has one of the coolest SW helmets ever. I wonder, how many polies does this thing have? The skin is once again really good. Many people have tried skinning the Galactic Marine (incorrectly called the clone commander in both SWBF2 and this file) on the Snowtrooper model. It finally gets its own, but I can't say I'm impressed with it. It's too fat in my opinion, and the chest could surely be reworked. Next, Commander Cody. A wonderful skin by Darth Cuilerre (I hope I got the name right). There are a few mistakes on the skin. The strap should only be on the left leg, and the belt packs are not correctly coloured. That's because the model is mirrored, which isn't a good thing for non-symetrical skins. And last comes the Clone Commando. I can't say I like the model... at all. It's not like it should be, just take a look. The visor is wrong too... This could certainly be improved. Some of the clones are good, some are not. I miss the clone pilot and a few more variants, like the engineer. Still, the pack is going to be essential in the next couple of weeks and months, so get it or you'll only see Kyles!

JA Bonus Maps from Raven
community! Raven has delivered 6 little goodies for Jedi Academy. Shall we open our gifts? :D Let\'s open the little one first. Little ones are usually jewelry ... hehe. Ah, a gem of a duel map. It\'s appropriately titled Coruscant. This lovely map has three levels for dueling. The lower area is where you\'ll spawn, the middle level has a few catwalks and some pillars to make dodging saber swings a bit easier and the top level is a narrow walkway that will make for some fun duels. Never look a gift horse in the mouth, right? Well, I may regret saying this, but there\'s only one spawn point on this map - which caused a bit of an issue for me and my bot. Regardless though, it\'s a great duel map and I enjoyed playing on it. The first three screenshots show you what this map looks like. Now let\'s turn our attention to the next gift - wrapped in silvery blue and dark red paper. :) It\'s a CTF map called Rift of Shadows. Both sides are mirror images of each other, of course. The bases have these large circular platforms that are surrounded by these huge, sharp teeth-like things. Look at the screenshots there, you\'ll see what I mean. And at the top is this spinning ball with electrical charges all around it. Very cool indeed. There are two ways into the base, which makes it easy to defend. But the base is large, so flag runners will be able to slip in and out quickly. :) There\'s also this lovely little area to hide and snipe those flag carriers right above one of the entrances. And don\'t be daunted by the maze below the other entrance - it\'s not as dizzying as it may appear. You\'ll also find some secret passageways in the dark halls with good weapons and other little goodies. :) What I found most impressive was the cavern with the water under the bridges and that waterfall/fountain. Love that. The lighting, the fog, the crumbling bridges ... I really like this map. It\'s a well-balanced CTF map that looks great. (There are 9 screenshots of this map below.) And now onto the next present from Raven. :) This colorful FFA map, Gas Mine, should be familiar to those who played Single Player. This is a great map for a frenzied FFA. Some of the towers have several levels, and others are just perfect to use as shields from a wayward rocket or a sniper perched on a roof. Even without weapons, you could have a fun FFA on this map - especially for those force who- er, force users out there. ;) I\'ve only included three screenshots to show you guys because this map, as you can probably guess, it looks pretty much the same from all angles. :) Oooh ... and that fan at the bottom there of the last screenshot, yeah, I\'m fairly sure that\'ll kill ya. I did when I fell, but I may have had low HP, dunno. The Fortress is the fourth map that Raven has given us, and it\'s like, the complete opposite of the last map we looked at. The four screenshots I included show what a bright and pretty map this is. :) Rays of sunlight pour through holes in the ceiling here and there throughout the halls of this map. There\'s a bit of greenery to be found growing in odd spots throughout the map, like high above where it\'s definitely a tight squeeze, but it makes for a perfect sniper area. There are also some holes in the walls around the map in some places that would be great for snipers as well. The map is bright, but there are a lot of shadows cast in corners that would be ideal places to hide and wait for an unsuspecting opponent. :D It\'s a simple map, with great gameplay. :) Oooh ... and there are destructable pillars! YAY! One of the great things about these maps is the variety. In the last map I told you about, there was plenty of room and everything takes place outside, but with this next map from Raven, it\'s far from organic and there\'s a lot less space to maneuver in. Conquest of Byss is a beautiful map with several levels to choose from. Take an elevator up and hunt for your favorite weapon, or duel on the bright blue force shield thingy at the bottom of the map. A fun duel would be at the very top where holes in the floor make for a precarious fight. :D Oooh ... and the pyramid glass is breakable. Yay! (There are 5 screenshots of this map down below.) And, of course, I saved the best for last. The final gift for us from Raven is the FFA map Ord Mantell Canyon. It\'s a dark map, but the lighting is perfect. Outside you make your way around many buildings that are built into the sides of mountains. The paths and the buildings themselves seem to be falling apart a little. There are canyons with shallow puddles of water and small drips coming from the rock ceiling. Somewhat hidden between two tall building is a waterfall that spills over into a small pool of water. There are many places to explore and this, I think is my favorite of all the new maps that Raven has released. :D (There are 8 screenshots below.) Each map comes with bot support, of course and there are some new textures, it seems. This was a delightful little surprise to find in my Inbox this morning and I\'m so glad we have some more solid maps to add to our servers. :D Enjoy the maps, guys and Raven wishes you all Happy Holidays. :D Bot Support: Yes New Textures: Yes New Music: No Game Types: Duel Map: Duel & Powerduel CTF Map: CTF FFA Maps: FFA, TFFA ~AmosMagee

creation: http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/SWTOR_Sith_Lord;107655 A devilish figure known as MrHunt has plastered a new face texture on this skin. Essentially, it was just a photosource instead of a custom job. Now it just looks photosourced. I'd say there was little improvement. Overall, I agree with Nozy: different model is gonna be needed for this to succeed. Alternatively, I'd say modify Keller even more so it fits the character's unique structure.

Iron Man - Movie Skinpack
your following this years blockbuster movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Incredible Hulk, Batman: Dark Knight and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor among others, you should also know about the Iron Man film! Now I'm not an Iron Man aficionado, but from the trailers, the film looks fantastic, and I did used to watch the Iron Man cartoons when I was younger. Infact there was this one episode where he somehow found himself in a glacier or something like that, and there was this frozen mammoth in the ice. Frozen mammoths always fascinated me, so this naturally caught my attention. Unfortunately I had to go out before I found out what happened, and so I don’t know the rest of the story. That mystery still haunts me to this very day! :'( Ehem, anyway, on with the review... Well timed for the shortly-to-be-released film, Phonock brings us his excellent Iron Man skin pack! There are basically 6 skins in this pack, 4 available as normal skins, and then 4 more for the team skins, 2 for red and 2 for blue. Yes I can count, that does make 8 altogether. :P However, one skin out of both teams is the same, it just has different coloured eyes. The author gives a list of available skins in his readme: [quote] DESCRIPTION: In this file, it has six version of skins based on Iron Man movie and also based on movie related like video game and action figures. 1.Iron Man - based on movie Mark III. 2.Tony Stark - faceplate flip up. 3.Silver Centurion - this is based on movie action figures. 4.War Machine - This is also based on action figures. 5.Mark II - based on movie Mark II. 6.Stealth Iron Man - and this one is based on video game.[/quote] My personal favourite was the all-silver one, though I'm not sure if that was the 'Silver Centurion' or the Iron Man Mark II, but all of the skins looked great. As far as I can see they are all accurate, and there is a good range of different skins to choose from, depending on which Iron Man version is your favourite. They even have new sounds too! I couldn't find any bugs with these skins, and there wasn't anything amiss that I could see. The only small gripe I have is that some of them looked a little too shiny, I personally think they would have looked a bit better with more of a matt, or satin shine. But that's just me. Overall I think they look fantastic! :) All in all an excellent skin pack, that has been well timed for the Iron Man film. It gets a big thumbs up from me! :thumbsup: If you're a fan of Iron Man, want to add another skin to your comic heroes skin collection, or just like the look of these, give it a download!

Iron Man
majority of us tend to recognize as Iron Man's current form. The skin is relatively good in the front, but honestly, I think the back is rather incorrect. There's too much red schema, and the pictures I am viewing have a transition into a yellow pattern for a brief period. In the back, it's just pretty much all red, and feels off. Combine this with the slightly awkward build of the shadowtrooper model, and the skin's execution drops slightly, due to poor choice. Silver Centurion (Iron Man red team) - Same deal as above, but silver instead of gold pattern Stealth Iron Man - This one seems to have poorer quality than the others. The black lines seem to strike out unpleasantly, and it seems to lack a shaded feel. Also, how Iron Man would sneak around in a heavy metal suit is beyond me ⌐_⌐ War Machine - The same applications of the first Iron Man, but with black and gray scheme. Iron Man Mark 1 - Ah yes, the rather clunky and awkward looking first version of Iron Man. This frankenstein machine was based off the same model apparently, but given a bulge shader that threw me off completely O_o; I couldn't tell what model it was for a second, until I checked the .skin. Suffice to say, the grayfox model would have been the model I would have originally went with to base this skin pack on. Suffice to say, the head and chest light fall prey to problems. The head just doesn't look right, and the chest light texture bends away partially when you look up. All in all, this skin pack was rather ._. so-so, I suppose. Good effort, but could be better =_=. I would suggest reviewing the paint scheme of the default and going from there. Otherwise, death. Bot Support:Aye NPC Support:Nay New Sounds: Aye Team Support:Aye - Averus Retruthan

-[SithLords]-Pack
So now they\'re supposed to be sith lords or something like that. Okay, so you have a bunch of black and white and gray Jadens, what can be improved? Well first off you could make it so that they don\'t overwrite the default Jadens when you load it. How does one do this, you ask? Look at the file structure for the skin, and eventually you\'ll figure it out. But the big thing here, is to make it so that your base Jaden skins are not overwritten. Why? Because when they are, every part is overwritten. There are other parts to this mod, like being only able to use force jump and the saber attack and defense powers, but the main thing in this mod was the skins.

are three different versions of maul contained in the pk3.. one the regular maul in his garb, a second with Maul cloaked, and a third with Mister Maul with no shirt. This was very well done and the only thing I could find about it that could be taken as a negative is the skin with no shirt is alittle pale. This is a very nice skin.. have I said that already??

Survival Mod 2: Revenge Of The Droids
2: Revenge of the Droids. I'll admit that I cheated while playing this and I still didn't get past like, the second room (when I played as Immy). The enemies just keep coming! You can play as four seperate characters and it looks like each one of them has a different map that you play through. I only tested Immy and the Clonetrooper. I don't know how long it took IZaNaGI to make this mod, but he put an incredible amount of work into this. Yes it's a large download. Stop whining and download it. If you enjoy single player stuff, then you're going to love this. If you don't cheat, then it is quite a challenge. I will probably play through this when I have more time. :) That's two great SP maps/mods that I've reviewed this week. :D ~AmosMagee

PROTOTYPE mod
them, but this one had something different. Something...weakening about it. Anyways, there are two files included here. One is a skin of Alex Mercer, and the other is a collection of weaponry from Prototype. I'll start with the skin. I was a little...well, I can't say disappointed, because I didn't expect much from a reborn reskin. Since it's a reskin, it's about as close at it can get. However, the bottom of the white shirt really could have used a more defined edge, and the front of the vest should be unbuttoned. I think the jeans also need some work, too...they don't look too jean-y. No new sounds - altogether, I give it a "meh". Fortunately, the best has been saved for last. Five new sabers have been added that will give you Alex Mercer's hands to hack and slash with. The claws and fist are included, as well as the two-sided blade (don't know what it's called). All of them fit over your hand like a glove (a boxing glove, but still, a glove), so it adds to the feel of being mr. Mercer. Now, because of the glove being there, naturally, there are some bugs. Most notably, when you put away the equipment in JA+ mode, it either sticks out of your chest or sticks into your back. Ouch! It isn't fixable, but who cares, it's worth it. The other one was that the claws and thunder fist both gave a saber glow at the map's origin (I didn't check the sword). I'm sure this is fixable, as I've seen it before. There you have it. Download at your discretion. ~Dretzel

Darth Maul as Jaden
SP again just so I could be Darth Maul. Though, it does have a certain irony to it, Darth Maul as Jaden. Darth Maul ... training to be a Jedi. Darth Maul ... apologizing for offending someone!? HA! One very good thing about this is that you have a few different Maul looks to choose from. So at least there\'s a little variety there. As with other JK2 models that have been dragged along to JA, not everything works the way it should. The mouth does not move with the dialogue and there are some issues with the dual sabers. Bottom line, though, this is a good SP replacement mod, as far as SP replacement mods go. :) ~AmosMagee

Star Wars Episode III JKA Map Pack - Part 3
one can say that they haven’t been waiting for at least one of these maps! The one I was most looking forward to was the Senate ;) Well, this is going to be an insanely long review lol, so I will give each map its own little (or not so little) section. Kashyyyk Battle: First lets start with Kashyyyk. Now, having bought the Ep3 DVD yesterday (October 31st mwahaha we in Britain get it a day before the Americans! Makes a change to get something first for once lol…anywayyy…) Probably one of my favourite battle scenes (of which there were many) was the Kashyyyk one. Giant furry people against robots? Who wouldn’t like to see such a match up ;) This map is truly MASSIVE, among some of the ace things included are many vehicles made by various other authors. Including the Hailfire Droid and the Clone Gunship. Now, I know how annoying it can be to try and fly around in a map that’s too small, and you keep banging into the skybox and blowing up…but thankfully this map has easily enough room for a dogfight in the sky ;) This would, I imagine, be a great map for gunbattles and TFFA’s because of all the vehicles and the massive amount of room. Not to mention all the walkways pads and cool features like barricades on the ground. Graphically this map is superb, there’s a little Republic Star Destroyer moving in the sky, also there is a bird that is actually flying round! That’s not the best bit though, what was really great was the fact that there were multiple rooms in the giant trees that you could actually go inside, and not only that the leaves on the trees, actually sway, so it looks like there is a slight breeze blowing! The water even looks like its lapping against the shore! Sometimes it’s the little things like that which really make a map more alive graphically. All in all a really good map here, if you like exploring or like having a battle, you will love this! Also this map reminds me of Naboo Hills By Darth Zappa, because of the vast amount of space and all the vehicles, so if you liked that map, you will love this! The Senate: Well this is the map that I most wanted to see in this pack :) Its probably a bit smaller than I expected, but like he said in the readme, it needed to be made smaller for obvious reasons! Kashyyyk was best in my opinion as a battle map, this however is probably better as a dueling map. That’s because there are lots of platforms and tricky areas to jump around, which is great whilst you are dueling! Its also good for exploring, as with all of Sith J’s maps there’s always plenty of places to explore! There’s even the little tunnel included that Yoda crawls through to escape at the end of the film. That’s not it though, this map contains a couple of extremely cool features, which I’m sure you will want to play around with…. One being a small control panel at the bottom of the senate area. If you press and hold the use button on it (similar to what you do when you are trying to hack the control panels on Hoth Siege), when the timer bar goes all the way down to the bottom, the entire map will change from being all perfect, to after Yoda and Palpatine have finished dueling, with Senate pods crashed all over the place and plenty of smoke! Another super cool feature is the Iris type thingy that opens to allow Palpatines Platform to rise up into the middle of the Senate arena. That must have been a difficult thing to make! If you have the Yoda and Palpatine models this would be a great place to re-enact their battle ;) There were only a couple of small things that bugged me here (a perfect map is impossible to get!) One would be that the Senate area itself is a bit small, but like he says in the readme, it would have been almost impossible to make it at its full size! The other would be the ordinary senate pods they are quite low detail compared to the better looking ones that are floating around, but again, if you made them too detailed it would drag the fps right down because there are so many of them. Nevertheless the overall look is very realistic, and as always this map is great fun to explore! This map is the one I was really looking forward to in this pack, and I can certainly say that it doesn’t disappoint! Now onto the last and smallest map in this pack, Vaders Reconstruction Chamber, where he dons that famous black suit! (mind you he’s pretty much crippled then so its probably actually the medical droids that don it for him, but that doesn’t sound as good…ehm anyway) Vaders Reconstruction Chamber: This map, according to the readme, is a teaser for a bigger map that will come later on. But its still brilliant! This map doesn’t appear to have bot support (although I’m sure the finished version will), but its too small to be played properly with bots anyway. This thing that really got me in this map is the atmosphere created, it is really just like what you see in the film, dark, heavy and gloomy. Its really got that evil atmosphere. Graphically it is also very good, there’s plenty of detailing to look at. What’s best of all though, is the bed that Vader is reconstructed on, press one of the 2 control panels near the entrance and the bed raises and lowers! This is another great map, and I look forward to seeing the full size version! Another excellent mappack here from Sith J, and as usual I found virtually no bugs, or things that I didn’t like, because his maps are such high quality!

KOTOR Stances
Republic. Well, first, I'll redirect you to [file="91004"]Nozy's original review of this file[/file], then... well, highlighting what's changed between the two versions is tricky, as the change log wasn't so specific. And then... well, I can't really round off with a summation of the changes, since the changelog didn't specify exactly what had been altered between versions and I can't spare half an hour right now in order to closely examine each and every animation compared to the previous release, sorry. Beat in mind that like all animation mods, you can only have one active at one time, and attempting to have more than one causes the others to simply not work. Richard would probably also throttle me if I didn't slap a big "DON'T TRY TO USE THIS WITH OJP!!!!" sticker across this review, because like any custom animation mod it will bugger up OJP's saber system, so the OJP community have been warned as well. ~ Kouen

TOR Hilt Pack
the last six years now, and while the development team at SOE have added lots of great new content and have made great strides in improving the game after the ludicrous debacle that the \'New game Enhancements\' were, that whole episode has unfortunately stained SWG in many peoples minds, and it remains a \'what if\' in terms of the massive potential that the game had that has been wasted. Bioware, I am sure, will not make the same mistake! Anyways, while we wait in anticipation of what could be one of the greatest Star Wars games (if not one of the greatest MMO\'s, period) of all time, our old staffer Jose Carlos has popped up with an excellent pack of hilts, three of which are based on concept art for the game, one based on Ven Zallow\'s lightsaber hilt, and one based on Darth Malgus\' hilt also. As with Jose\'s other mods, the quality of these hilts is quite excellent, and there are staff and single hilt versions for the discerning Jedi to choose from. Or Sith, as the case may be. One of my favourites has to be the \'Centurion\' staff hilt, its nice and shiny (I like shiny things as well as glowy things :P) and those spikes look pretty scary too. Even more deadly looking though is Darth Malgus\' hilt, which looks like it has two axe blades on either side, as if a super hot beam of pure energy wasn’t dangerous enough! All in all an excellent hilt pack here, accurate too, from the reference pictures I was able to find. The only real complaint I have is that Ven Zallows hilt looks just a bit [i]too[/i] shiny. Keep up the good work Jose, I hope you will make some more TOR themed hilts once we have more info on what they will look like ingame!

Darth Sidious
do you need to know? Oh, what? Details? Fine. Textures appear to be made out of a pattern, probably in Photoshop or an equivalent thereof. While simplistic, they work well. The model itself is okish, but there's a lot of room for improvement. For a start, the shroud-like article of clothing (referred to as the flaps in the readme) bellows out, making it look like stiff padding rather than simple cloth. Next is the hood. Parts of the hood don't line up with the chest, letting you see a gap between them. This is easier to see on the "tfu" version (no shroud-like article of clothing (referred to as the flaps in the readme)). And then there's the sounds. Ow, my ears. Unfortunately, in order to acquire sounds for Sidious, one must rip them from only a handful of places, primarily, the movies. This means either A: There will be a lot of background noise, or B: The sounds will be hard on your ears due to the editing done to remove said background noise. Why, you ask? Because in removing the background noise, the voice has gained some noise 'artifacts' that are rather easy to hear. But hey, there isn't exactly an abundance of background-noise-free Sidious voice tracks available to the public, so that can be (slightly) overlooked. In all, a nice skin, but it needs work. Also, I recommend using the non-wing version ("tfu" version (no shroud-like article of clothing (referred to as the flaps in the readme))).

Star Wars Episode III JKA Map Pack - Part 2
thats the harshness when everybody expects perfect maps from you SJC :) I've seen Episode III, and the similarity between the movie and the Mustafar map here is very good. Sure, it's not perfect, but in order to have a playable map which is fun, nobody mines a few small alterations. I'll start with the small errors I found, to get them out of the way. Firstly, when walking down the edge of the lava river leading to that giant waterfall, the lava doesn't always follow the path of the rocks... sometimes there's a hole between the rock and the lava flow, so you can see UNDER the lava... check the third screenshot. The textures when lava paths meet also look a little wierd but unfortunately with the q3 engine its near impossible to get that effect working perfectly. Oh, there's also quite a lot of shader errors in the console, but they won't affect gameplay. The FPS held pretty okay for most of the map, dropped maybe a little low in some bits but it's nothing to worry about, and the map is a lot bigger than I first thought, as there's a whole other area when you go through the connecting tunnels. After looking around I found Obi's ship, along with a shuttle and another ship whom I wasn't sure belonged to. The structures around the rockfaces and the rocks themselves are very well made, incredibly detailed, although might I suggest a different texture for where the lava meets the rocks? Kinda looks like scratched metal in a red colour from up-close. But I'm nit-picking here. Overall this is a brilliant map which I advise you all go and try out - on your own (there's bot support), but even better with others. Ah.. I haven't loved Force Push and Grip quite so much since Nar Shadda streets for JK2 :D Incidentally, there's quite a few interactive features here too, moving platforms across the lava, flying probes e.t.c. There's also traps here and there so you can retract walkways dropping people into the lava. Looks a bit odd when the walkway just disappears, but what the heck. I imagine with a large FFA this would be a very cool map, and perhaps whilst big for a one-on-one duel, you'll all be able to recreate that fantastic final duel of Episode III. Now onto Utapau. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic map - it just seemed a little bare from what I saw, especially that rocky area outside. (A few texture misalignment problems) I noclipped around and you might want to caulk a little more around the backs of the rocks to improve FPS for those with low-end PC's (I had no problems, just a small suggestion) And what are those grey smudge things at the bottom of the hole lol? The plafroms and sticking-out areas were great for the most part, however I wish there weren't quite so many locked doors. The readme states both maps have some improvements to be done, so I assume these WILL lead somewhere eventually. Incidentally, the doors in this map could use a soundset too, it's a bit odd when they don't make a noise. Again, there's full bot support, but very few bugs I found when compared to Mustafar - not that Mustafar is bug-ridden lol ;) It's just this in map there was less to go wrong I guess. My favourite section had to be the big sperical building jutting out from the rock-face. So cool... Anyway, Download it and take a look! It's very large (lots of textures, including some from his stargate map for some reason - might lead to conflicts in the future), so some of you may have to leave your PC on all night, but don't worry, it's worth it :D New Textures: Yes New Sounds: Yes Bot Support: Yes ~Szico VII~

have here today is Ahsoka Tano, otherwise known to the Jedi Council as 'Snips', the Anakin with a better personality. What I see here is good. Textures are flawless on some aspects, but a bit bland. That is to say, it's accurate, but it just seems strange in the middle of battle. The only real problem I have with this model is not its textures or it's weighting. The bot support is good, and so is the alternative skins. My problem is that Ahsoka seems to have put on quite a bit of weight. I'm not entirely sure on that, so please remedy this situation with a sledgehammer to my jawbone. Regardless of this situation, however, the model is good.

Ingame Character and Saber Menus
they look while playing, I would either have to start a new game each time I wanted a new part of the skin, or memorize the code for that particular part, both of which were annoying. Well, I now have a mod that will get rid of that problem. What this does is allows you to bind a key to open up the character select screen in SP, allowing you to change how your character looks. It also brings up the saber select menu once you have finished with the character select. Unfortunately, for it to take effect, you have to turn cheats on and type in \"playermodel player\" or just bind a key to do that. Overall, I think that\'s a small price to pay to do what this mod allows you to do. Hopefully a version two will get rid of the need to turn on cheats and reset the playermodel yourself... Give it a download if you find this as useful as I do.

Star Wars Episode III JKA Map Pack - Part 1
reading this review, downloading this map pack, then you saw Episode III. If not, don\'t read my review - there may be a spoiler or two. Okay, so I spawned in that one big room near the elevators. I immediately crawled down the broken one and explored the shaft. I don\'t think you can tell from the screenshots there, but there seemed to be water I was walking in here and there. Oh, and these screenshots are a bit out of order. See R2 down there in the water? I didn\'t mean for him to fall down there... I just love breaking grates. :D And that damn droid kept saying something every once in a while. Startled me every time and I expected them to spawn and start shooting at me and R2. Of course, R2 would\'ve kicked their asses. As you can see from the last screenshot there, I wouldn\'t have been much help to R2 since I decided to go and press buttons and got launched out into space. My FPS was decent on The Invisible Hand and I wouldn\'t be surprised if this map becomes as popular as the Duel of the Fates map - especially with that space-sucker-outer button. ;) And now Palpatine\'s Office - no, wait, that\'s a screenshot of Sith-J-Cull\'s office - or is it George Lucas\'? Bah. Maybe George and James share an office? ;) Well, I have no idea how to legitimately get to this room, I cheated and noclipped. :P But definitely check it out, it\'s amusing. :) The design and lighting of this map are great and accurate, though my poor screenshots don\'t justify the map. I\'m not quite sure why the chairs in the office can be pushed and pulled, but they can be. And the glass OF COURSE can be broken - how else could you reenact the scene where Windu gets - okay, I\'ll stop there. :) After testing these two maps, I\'m tempted to go back and find your first map ever submitted, James ... just so I can see if there was ever any improvement to be made. It seems to me you\'ve always been a great mapper and always will be. By the way, there are two screenshots of James\' upcoming work included in the zip file.

Twilight Manor
seems most of the community now tend to RPG more than actually play the game, which is a little frustrating, but there it is nevertheless. So no deductions for you Jenova. :) I spawned into the entry hall, and whilst, the brick texture used seemed overly-large and somewhat cartoonish, the rest of the area was very \'pretty\' and the lighting was especially atmospheric. The entire map, for that matter had a nice soothing ambiance, which I believe was 50% due to the nature of the map, and 50% due to the music. I tried playing without the music and it just wasn\'t the same, so my advice is to play this map with the music on, or you\'ll miss out. There\'s a great variance of areas to try out, including a few duelling rooms, some dungeons, a swimming pool, a dojo, a boxing ring, a bouncy castle..... and so on and so forth. It\'s not all that original, and to my horror, It had a bar. People need to stop putting bars in their maps. Seriously, it\'s getting tiring. The two best areas were definitely the outside ones, which looked very inspired by Arevass and FarCry, with the little guard towers and the circular pillars. They\'re a little small, and I actually found one of only a few unsourced lights there, but they\'re just nice to look at, especially the waterfall, although don\'t get too close if you want your framerate to live. Speaking of framerates, this map is probably the first large one I\'ve seen by Jenova which has got a fairly decent framerate, so well done there. It could be better - there\'s still portions of the map drawn to the player which needn\'t be, but it\'s not so bad that it causes severe lag. Architecturally, the map is also above average, and although draws on themes from a lot of other people\'s work, somehow this map manages to combine them well. The swimming pool especially reminded me of the one from Tomb Raiders manor house, mainly due to the textures used in there, and for the most part, I\'m pleased to say that the map is well built. Of course, there\'s always a few buts. First-off, the bouncy castle just looks plain ugly as it is, super-lit. Secondly, you can jump on the walls and see area\'s you\'re not supposed to see. Finally the mushroom section. Not only is it utterly pointless, but if you look down you see a square block of water, and if you look up you can see other areas of the map from the outside. :( In the camera room, there\'s also a ton of HOM errors when you stand too far back from them. On a positive note though, there is bot support, which whilst not brilliantly done, works well enough - and anything is better than crazed jumping bots. As I\'ve mentioned before, the best part of this map is the ambiance brought about by the music, lighting and kind of fairly-tale theme in some areas. Kinda reminded me a bit of the Mario castle at first, with the painting room and stuff. But I digress. Whilst the map isn\'t the best map ever conceived, I admit, this is one of the few maps recently which I have truly enjoyed exploring, and I\'m sure many of you out there will too.

Toshi's Yoda
model, and boy, I don't know how Toshi does it but he's not only a fast modeler, hes a decent one at that. This is his take on on the famous Jedi Master which as described in the readme was not intended for release, but we are now graced with the release of this model. Now I will admit, its not perfect in places. There is a little clipping but its really only minor and to me it isn't a problem. Plus that's the JA skeleton being a pain. The detail on this model is spectacular, you can really see Yoda's facial detail come out in the texture work. His proportions are spot on as far as I can tell as well. I really don't have anything bad to say about this model, Its just, Yoda o.O. The accuracy is amazing. The only thing I would suggest is adding in different versions of Yoda maybe if there is a version 2 planned. The author has included new sounds, team skins, bot support, and Yoda is also playable in SP. Toshi has also made a custom .glm to fit Yoda's fighting style better. Unfortunately it only works in SP though. Read more about this in the readme. To really put the cherry on top, Toshi has added Yoda's saber in here aswell also made by himself. This model definitely competes with those Yoda's already out there, and in my opinion is the best one out there.

Backhand Normal Stance HQ
Though there isn't really much room for variation on the simple back-handed stance, there are a few cool features that set this mod out from the crowd. First of all, the stance is a pretty dramatic pose, a bit more animated looking than the previous ones I have seen. But the really cool part is that you stand there, you can see your characters head and shoulders bob up and down slightly making it look like they are panting heavily, perhaps after battling some Sith Lord. ;) This is a really nice little feature I think, as it makes your player character look much more alive and dynamic. All in all a cool mod here, though it only works with the single saber of course. Personally I would like to see a version which also adjusts the dual and staff saber stances, adding that 'panting' movement effect in there too. If you like the look of this mod, then be sure to give it a download, especially if you are looking for a stance mod to compliment your other Force Unleashed mod's! ~Nozyspy~

Kudos to Aryyn for giving us some choice in our saber sounds. You have some updated \"normal\" saber sounds to choose from, or go with the more scratchy Sith sound, and if that doesn\'t float your boat, there\'s always the Luke and Yoda saber sounds that have a more \"powerful\" swooshing sound. If you\'re interested in some new saber sounds for Jedi Academy, this is a good place to start. ~AmosMagee

HS_Gweth_Kelia
ultimate female model that will replace Leela and hurt her feelings and make her cry, where I shall promptly laugh and then cleave through both their skulls. The result of this effort? Hapslash quality. Need I say more? Okay fine, it's really good, but it's not really not that thrilling to me. However, I'm sure the female players are rejoicing like crazy and will probably roar at me for not giving a rave review of this sensational model. I wasn't thrilled with the soundsets on Gweth at all. Apparantly they're from Babylon 5. They sounded like some uppity crank feminist who hasn't slept in five years and needs to be hit over the head with a scythe. The sound quality is decent, minus one gloating sound. Is it good overall? Yeah, definitely. I just can't say it's THAT great just because it feels like Hapslash sold out. That may not be the case, but I don't plan on playing Sherlock Holmes to find out the motive behind this model. Surrender your bandwidth immediately, lest I cleave you with a scythe myself.

Imperial Assassin
version, all the markings on the skin are now glowy. As I am sure you all know by now, I do rather like glowy things! Of course, for a [i]real[/i] assassin who wishes to hide and strike from the shadows, being lit up like a neon sign probably wont help with the stealthy aspect of being an assassin, but hey, it’s Star Wars! Glowy assassins are allowed! :P I think it is good how the author got around the potential problem of the team skins for this new version. As the original default skin had red markings, this would obviously mean that the red team skin would be exactly the same as the default one. But for this version, the default skin now has white glowy markings, which I actually prefer to the red ones. The red team skin is of course… red, and the blue team skin is…blue! All three skins look great and I think the author has done a very good job with the skinning job, and especially that cool glowy shader. There are also some new sounds, courtesy of some sounds from Scerendo’s ST Shadowtrooper pack. There doesn’t seem to be any bot support however, which is one thing I would suggest as an improvement for next time. There is still the issue with the eyeballs not being glowy, but it doesn’t seem as though that can be fixed, and it not really that noticeable anyway. Besides that I didn’t notice any bugs, and I think the skins are pretty well polished up now, so I cant really think of what other improvements could be made. All in all I really like these skins, and I look forward to seeing more work from GoodJawa! :thumbsup: If you guys like the look of this skin, then be sure to give it a download!

JK2 Jedi Customization Pack
the game. JK2 of course never had this, because afterall you were playing as Kyle Katarn! Now, being able to create your own custom character is no longer a feature exclusive to JKA for now we have this fantastic mod made by LukeSkillz, Raziel2121! Whilst this mod may seem rather complicated at first when you read the instructions in the readme, it is actually pretty simple. You can customise a character by choosing different heads, torsos and legs, just like you do in JKA. However because there is no means of doing this actually in-game, what you need to do is follow the instructions and then when you are ready, select a character and then select the different heads, torsos and legs for that character that you want. When you have chosen them you put them in the folder that you will have created whilst reading the readme, and then load the mod in –game and voila! Now the first character icon in the selection screen in-game will be the character that you created earlier! Of course, you can only use the parts from a single character, meaning that you can’t mix a Shadowtrooper’s head with Luke’s body and Kyle’s legs, since they are different models. :P Also included are several new custom lightsaber hilts made by different authors, and lightsaber blade mod’s – my favourite of which is the one that makes the blades look like they do in the Dark Forces games. There are also some .pk3’s and .cfg files which allow you to change the colour of the lightsaber in singleplayer too. That leads me onto the ‘icing on the cake’ for this mod, so to speak. A huge bonus is that this mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer! So now you can have your own custom Jedi, along with custom lightsaber hilt, blades and colours in singleplayer instead of boring old Kyle (no, we all love good old Kyle really!). The readme also states that this mod should work for JKA as well which is cool, although I didn’t have time to test this in JKA. As for bugs and improvements; well I didn’t encounter any bugs while I was testing this, although it is a [b]big[/b] mod so there may be some. Improvement wise, all I can think of is adding more variations and more models that can be customised (although bare in mind that this is only a Beta version). Overall I found this mod to be of the highest quality so I don’t think there really is much that could be improved upon! Overall a fantastic mod here, original and well executed. I am sure people will be very pleased to finally be able to customise their player characters in JK2 as well as JKA. I definitely recommend downloading this! [b]I must say though, that it is VERY IMPORTANT you read the readme thoroughly so you know where to put the files, because this mod doesn’t follow quite the usual rule of just putting .pk3’s in your base folder. Don’t worry though, it might look complicated, but as long as you read the readme properly, you will find it to be very simple! :)[/b] [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes, lots!

Deception
acting [i]technology[/i], by the way - all the voice actors were actually quite good, they just didn't have a nice studio to polish up the audio). While this mod consists only of three playable maps, it is actually quite long - I've been testing it all morning and I just only now finished. The story revolves around a Iridonian (Zabrak) mercenary named Phelan who has been hired by the Alliance to investigate a disturbance they did not have the resources to investigate themselves. This leads Phelan on a quest that brings him farther than a mere mission for the Alliance and introduces us to a new threat (which I shall not spoil for you). The maps alone are beautiful, and they are quite consistent from beginning to end. The architecture and style of the maps doesn't change half way through, which is nice. Unfortuntely when I finished testing I had nearly 40 screenshots, so I had to cut it down a bit, so I do recommend you play it to get the full appreciation of the beauty of some of these maps. Now all mods have bugs, and this one is no different. In some of the elevators there was a bit of z-fighting between the red and green buttons. I had a couple of problems with some cutscenes, though I can't say whether or not it was an isolated incident without playing through the mod again, and I told Shadriss I'd have it posted some time today ;). However the mod itself makes these few bugs seem quite insignificant. This mod isn't for the light-hearted who want to just blast on through. It's going to take some thinking, but hopefully it'll be enjoyable. I know I certainly enjoyed it. However make sure to pack up your blaster with a few extra clips - you're going to need them. Highly recommended. Download now. [b]UPDATE[/b]: After speaking with Shadriss and retesting the last two levels I have discovered the cutscenes (and part of the second level, actually) only get bugged if you never obtain the lightsaber. If you do get it everything works wonderously. Now if you're paying attention, like I wasn't, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Just remember that each cutscene has significance ;). ~Inyri

JAM's JK2/3 Kill Tracker
tracking (obviously) 2. Spam-echoer 3. JK2 and JA support 4. Note and friend lists 5. Message configurator with a command variable help, color scheme help, and a preview window 6. Media player with playlist capabilities 7. Update check (click JAM in the main browser) and contact information Having been around since the first days of JK2, I've seen all the kill trackers and never been impressed. Whenever someone joined one of the clan servers I played on and I saw that exacerbating kill tracker message, I repeatedly used my "kill tracker off" bind or spammed the same message in the console. To me, "!kt off" was the only good thing about them. JAM's version may have changed my mind about that. While I still don't see the need to publicly track your statistics, the auto-message feature and music options are definitely an evlolution from the early versions. I realize that those options have been available for a while, but as a graphic designer, the ease of use, graphics, and media player feel make JAM's version my choice. The readme for this program is located by default at: "C:/Program Files/JAM's Jedi Knight KT/readme.txt" once it is installed. Technical Data: Pros: 1. Very easy to use. 2. Gorgeous layout. Cons: 1. NA Rating: 10/10[/quote] A few usful things have been added in v2 and a few fixes too. The interface looks much more slick now, I felt the first version looks a bit big and clunky. The black colour has been added to color schemes now, thats great since alot of people use black in their names. Good job JAM, this is a great tool for recording your kills, playing music, adding friend lists and more. Once again this version works for both JK2 and JKA, update it now! -Rink

Ben 10 Alien Force
from the commercials. In other news, this is a skin representing the alleged protagonist of the "Ben 10 Alien Force" cartoon. As such, the textures and model are surprisingly quite befitting. I'm also rather impressed how the author was able to keep the whole "big eyes" factor and keep the illusion relatively sound. Granted, whilst you can still tell they're not big eyes, it's better than other attempts in the past, I'll say that much. Including with the skin is some sort of "Alien X" whose character I've never heard of, and with a lame name like that, I'd rather not =_o. Basically it looks like a dude in all black leather, covered head to toe, with some sort of star light specular shader. Kind of cool, kind of not, but hey, this is a cartoon we speak of =_=. Overall, the texture work and model selections were decent for a cartoon, but I think only two things bothered me: 1.) I could hardly tell Ben's hair was brown, and it looked black. 2.) The sounds were of mediocre quality. Other than that, not a bad set of skins, especially for a first skin O_o yep, this is the author's first work, and I think it's definitely a great effort. Well done, chap. Proceed onward to Stage 2, and give your hungry audience what they crave =_,=! P.S. - There are also some small bonus extras, like the Buffy's Fist hilt that allows you to do combat without a saber, and the melee sounds have been changed.

earnest, a good chunk of the map has retained the nature of its previous counterparts, so let\'s see what our friend Lady Forge had to say about the previous \"version\". [quote]I must say, this is one of the most amazing maps I\'ve seen. After testing the map for the better part of a half hour (and I\'m sure I didn\'t test every area, it was that big) I only found one error. This is Corellia. It\'s a very metropolitan take on Corellia, featuring many of the high-flying aspects of Coruscant. It\'s basically three skyscrapers jutting out of the sky of Corellia, each holding their own secrets to discover. I use the word \"secrets\" lightly, so don\'t take it literally. There were so many areas to explore, but I\'ll narrow it down to a few. First I\'ll start with the outside. Basically the outside is what it sounds like - the area outside of the towers. It features landing platforms, bridges between the towers (lest you fall to an unpleasant death), as well as various signs and displays. Quite possibly the coolest thing about these maps is that very little of the detail is static. Things blink and rotate, adding quite heavily to the metropolitan feel of the map. It is very reminiscent of Coruscant from Episode II. Inside the towers is plenty to explore. For instance I managed to find several vehicles (so to speak). Inside one of the towers was some kind of small ground vehicle, though unusable, and outside the towers were a cloakshape fighter and what looked like a T-16 skyhopper. That part was cool, because you can actually go inside of it from within one of the towers. Finding your way around these towers is no easy task, though. Just when I thought I\'d seen everything, I\'d find out that the elevators went down too! This is one of those maps that just seems ideal for an RP server. It\'s huge, has plenty of areas, as well as many things to \"claim\" as your own, including rooms, cantinas, and even what seemed like a black market stash of weapons, hidden behind some breakable glass. The one thing I found kind of distracting was that the atmosphere in certain areas seemed a little \"misty\", foggy even, though perhaps it\'s just my eyes. Still, ane excellent map, and certainly worth a download from anyone who considers themselves a map connoisseur. [/quote] In essence, the map pretty much has mostly additions and one subtraction I could note. For example, the Sky-high factor was subtracted in this version, and instead of falling to your death, you fall into a lower area with large pipes that slow eats away at your health until you get out. Should you find it, an elevator goes from there to a building with the glass doors in the previous one. This building has been renovated as well, the elevator you would have taken being the only functional one. The main addition was a new building. You\'re presented with a magnificent revolving glass door and a marble lobby. Quite magnificent. Going up the \'vator, one can then explore the new interesting interiors and MAKE MERRY =_=. Another small addition was a large catwalk that can be used for multiple purpose. Nothing too useful here other than a sniper and a glass platform. Other than that, it\'s almost like the previous versions, but with an atmosphere change(skybox, music, etc.) applied to it. Personally, however, I believe said change was for the better. I personally suggest you initiate Project Take A Look Around And See If You Could Use It. =_,= GIVE ME BANDWIDTH OR I GIVE YOU DEATH =_= Man, I love twisting and destroying historical quotes..

Wars map. The skybox outside is lovely (though could be improved upon and probably will be for version 2), there's rain and fog and mist, the lighting is beautiful, and that's just like, from where I spawned. Now, keep in mind, this is a HUGE map. It took almost a full minute for the map to load for me. So don't freak out and think the game has frozen or anything. Just be patient. :) There are some windows looking out into the sea and the water is just drenching the glass ... it looks great. The hallways are bright and sterile looking. Lots of great details can be found in small rooms here and there. There are some great doors and ... goodness, there's just so much here. That one room with the white spoon chairs - totally freaked me out. LOL This really is an incredible map, James. And I know a lot of you have been looking forward to this map's release. :) There are a few errors I found here and there. The elevator/lift doesn't work as well as it could, there's some z-fighting in two areas that I found (can you spot it? ;)) but there is a version 2 coming. This is definitely a map for RPing. And if you aren't into that, then like, try a game of Hide 'n Seek on this map. It's big enough. :P Bot Support: Yes New Textures: Yes New Music: Yes Game Types: FFA ~AmosMagee

Singleplayer Yoda 1.0
know my opinion - I\'ve always felt that they are pointless and a waste of space. That said, a woman has a right to change her mind. ;) Replacement mods for JK2 were often just Kyle being replaced by the model or skin du jour. They became boring to play and review. Now I know that replacing the main character with Yoda has been done before, but for JA, it\'s just so much more entertaining. I love the first glimpse of Yoda on the ship ... you see Rosh sitting there as the camera pans over to Yoda, and then all you see is an empty seat and just a small shot of his ears. LOL Love that! Anyway, Yoda is the proper size and though everything doesn\'t all line up, I can forgive that just because it was fun playing with Yoda in this. :) What I like best about this SP mod is what\'s promised for the next version. All of Jaden\'s sounds will be replaced with Yoda\'s sounds and Yoda will even have a custom made ship (read the readme for more info). If only there were a Yoda impersonator who could do the voice-over for the cut scenes (if that\'s even possible). That would really complete this mod. :) I have a feeling that SP replacement mods are going to be much better for JA than they were for JK2 and I\'m actually looking forward to playing some now. :) ~AmosMagee

Cybernetic Maul
survived his bisection and fall into the shaft on Naboo and was fitted with cybernetic legs. His hunt for the only person to have defeated him, Obi-Wan Kenobi, began.[/Quote] This revamped Maul, while non-canon, is still pretty intense. Can you imagine facing a foe you were certain was dead, yet he returns, and more menacing than ever? I can, mainly because it happens to me all the time. But honestly, this model is decently done. The structure and the skin are both decent. He even has some pretty well done sounds that I'm assuming were done by a friend. I almost thought it was Maul himself O_o. My only qualm lies in the face. NO ANIMATION =_=, how foul. Maul needs to at least bare his nasty, and now pry nastier, yellow teeth. Minus my qualms, this release is pretty nice. My only suggestion would probably work on the face. I'm sure plenty of others have complaints, but personally I express no care.

Lord Maul
retexturing, all made to appear to be a bit more realistic. To be more specific about the changes, I'll speak about each one seperately. The robed version: I can see no real differences between this version and the original besides how the top of the robe has been darkened quite a bit, and more shadow added to the face. The shirtless version: Again, no real changes seem to have been made besides the darkening of shadows on the body and clothing. The normal version: The only part of this with team skins, though the only change is the color of the belt. For the rest of the skin it is the same for each team and default, which seems to only be a darkening of the clothes and skin. There are new sounds for it, bot support, and npc support, but sadly, there is no single player customization support. All in all, not bad changes, they just did not seem like very much to me.

because it\'s my job. Let\'s start with the good parts, though. A lot of detail went into this model in terms of skinned on parts versus modeled on parts. That is immediately noticible. The skin also seems relatively accurate, depending on which pictures you look at. Some pictures I saw looked blue, as this does, and some didn\'t, but that could be due to lighting. I did find some areas of the skin to look a bit strange, as if Mars had used the sponge filter on it, which he may have. However overall the textures look very good when the entire model is taken into account. So the flaws. Yes, even Mars isn\'t perfect. If he was I\'d wonder if he was an android or something. First flaw - shoulders once again weighted independently from the body. I do have to admit, though, with an automaton that\'s probably a better choice. It still bothers me, though, to see the area were the shoulder would normally be attached when the arm moves. Next flaw - very evil stretching in the upper torso during many animations. There problem here, though, is that the animations in JA are first of all quite hideous themselves, and second of all are not designed for a being that doesn\'t bend, like a robot. However the stretching could be more subtle, but unless you\'re looking for it you probably won\'t notice. I was impressed by the cape, though. No, it doesn\'t move realistically, but I\'ve come to believe that\'s impossible in the Quake 3 engine. This cape deforms amazingly well with the given animations, as well as I think may be possible in JA. There is a bit of clipping here and there around the left shoulder, but for the most part it doesn\'t clip. Overall, a well-done model that I\'m sure you\'ll all be more than happy to download. Well made given the restrictions of the engine. Mars was also nice enough to include a modified version of Hatrus\' electrostaff, which the bots use, so if you have an older version of the staff you may wish to use the version Mars has included, for the best experience.

Vengeance of the Sith
hold your attention, though the dialogue can get boring at times. The action is there, but you have plenty of help from Kyle and other Jedi along the way. A lot happens in such a short period of time, so the story and the action is always moving. I ran into an issue at one point where two of the enemies I was supposed to kill ... they weren\'t dying ... but they weren\'t fighting either. They just ... stopped. So I just reloaded at the last checkpoint and tried again and it all worked just fine. The only things I would change about this mod are the writing of the dialogue and I would add some voice acting. Also, there were a few grammatical errors in the subtitles, but I can overlook that. :) If you\'re looking for something new to try for single player Jedi Academy, check this out.

Tron Legacy - Enter the Grid
unfamiliarity with the latest Tron film I know a cool skin when I see one, especially when it has glowy bits! Mmmmm glowyness... Eherm, anyway, this skin is based in part off the character of Rinzler from Tron: Legacy and having had a look at the pictures I could find of this character on t'internet I think the author has done a good job on the likeness. Certainly he chose the right model to reskin as it has just the right shape, however while the skin itself is good, the shiny shader that has been applied to it is way too shiny in my opinion and obscures the detail on the clothing itself. Looking at some reference pictures I think more of a satin sheen would be better, I’m pretty sure there is a texture/shader for that somewhere in JKA's assets, I know I have used one of the Byss floor shaders before which if my memory serves me correctly has more of a satin sheen. Though that was for a map I’m sure the shader and texture can be reused for a skin. Despite the somewhat overbearing shiny shader this does have team skins and also some cool new sounds which is a big plus, while I can understand the difficulty of finding/making new sounds for a skin I definitely think it is well worth the effort! The readme does say that there are other colour variations for this skin, including orange, green and others, these did not appear in the skin selection menu and the readme does not include the model codes to get them, so that’s something that’s worth including next time. All in all a cool skin here, especially the glowy bits, which you will need to have dynamic glow enabled to properly enjoy of course, though as I said that shiny shader is a bit overbearing. Definitely worth a download if you are a Tron fan or are looking for something glowy. ;) Keep up the good work RedFury!

The Force Unleashed 2 Starkiller Pack
that any work that he sends in is simply spectacular. 5 regular, 2 team skins, and all of them up to DarthPhae's usual standard of work, which is in itself, quite impressive. I still use his DF2 Yun to this day, just because of how excellent it is. He really can turn the jedi_HM model into something potent. So, speaking of, this is yet another Jedi_HM reskin pack, and as I said before, a very potent one. Wielding his mighty digital artistic tools, DP has turned Jaden into Galen Merak in his own unique manner, sketching up 4 of the outfits that you apparently see him in the upcoming TFU2. These are, from what I'm guessing: A kamino clone outfit, a utilitarian suit, a ripped jacketed suit, and a jedi-ish robe of sorts. But wait, what's the 5th? Apparently, a mutated/incomplete clone will be featured as an enemy in TFU2, and has been skinned into such. It looks quite malevolent, and thankfully, he doesn't have red eyes! WOOOT. So, anything wrong with these skins? Not really, there's no graphical oddities with DP's work. I guess my only QQ would be the obnoxious cinematic lines that were included as taunts. However, that's just personal opinion, and should in no way impact your judgement on these skins. DP whipped up a set of modified Jaden Male sounds to help compliment the rest of his Merak clips, which go along rather peacibly. I'd say we've got a complete package here. With all this in mind, I'd say this pack is the answer to any rabid desire to be Starkiller that anyone may have. I'm tempted to keep this pack in in anticipation of all the fanboys who will inevitably come to my server ;_; with this pack in. It's going to be a looong week.

RJA-Hogwarts
Witchcraft and Wizardry should look like. This... most [i]certainly[/i]... is not really what I had in mind. This map suffers from many of the basic problems that plague a lot of beginning maps. It's fraught with z-fighting, repetitive texturing, and a lack of caulking. The other portions of the map are also clearly visible from various locations (which makes it seem that the school is floating out in space). There were a few places I did manage to recognize, and my sister came home and told me there should be a kitchen behind the portrait of the vegetables (although when she saw the 'kitchen' she was a little confused, so I'm guessing it didn't look proper). The portrait of Qui Gon... well I don't think JK Rowling put that in the books [i]or[/i] the films anywhere. The entire map is 2-3 times larger than it should be, resulting in chairs larger than people and stairs that are impossible to climb without using the Force (and aren't clipped, by the way, so you really do have to jump up the stairs). Not all the stairs are the same size, either. There are no moving portraits (bummer, I know -- that would've been awesome). Now I'm not one to pounce on a fan for making something they're a fan of, but really... if the author is a Harry Potter fan and can honestly look at his map and say "yeah, that's what it looks like" then it has me wondering. I myself would probably not try to recreate something I was a fan of unless/until I felt I had the skills required to do it well. This blocky, poorly textured building is simply not Hogwarts, and I strongly encourage the author to build up his or her skills and try again later, when the time is right.

with it out of the way. First off, it took forever to load. The load time is right up there with some of the load times for HL2, and those take forever. Another problem was that I didnt have the best framerate out there while on this map. However, that could be easily fixed if I lowered the graphics settings a bit instead of running em on the highest settings. There are many new models included, such as brand new chocobos, the motorcycles from Advent Children, the Turks, Tifa, and Yuffie. While the models were well done, I thought that the skinning on them could have been a bit better, especially on Rufus. There is also two additional pk3s, one being the One Wing Jetpack, which contains a new jetpack and teleport effects, and one being the First Sword pack, which includes Cloud's swords from Advent Children and a holster for all you JA+ users. Now onto the map itself. It is a very well made map, if you ask me. It has everything that I would like in a map, and more. The first place I visited was where I spawned, in the Highwind. Well made map, and true to the ship from the game, with the exception of the stairs that took you outside in the game took you to a teleporter room here. While wanering around the ship, I ran into Yuffie. Being the person I am, I shot her, and proceeded to get attacked by her... :/ Anyway, I took care of her and ran up to the teleporter room. I was given four choices: Chocobo Farm, Battle Square, Shinra HQ, and Sector 7. I decided to hit Battle Square first. Once there, I noticed that the text on the floor in the circle had been changed to fit what was said in FF7. I hopped up, and pressed the button to spawn the bots. I do a series of battles with various characters, including some Turks, and Sephiroth at the end. Once I amused myself by throwing them all into the deadly surrounding liquid, I took off back to the teleport room on the Highwind. This time I take a turn to Sector 7. I hop down, look around, and head to where anyone would head: 7th Heaven Bar. Who should I find there, but Tifa herself? Once I check out the bar, I head up to the pillar that was blown up in FF7 to bring down the plate. Nothing particularly amazing here, besides how close to the original game it is. Wandering around more, going through the Train Graveyard and sewers, I eventually wind up at Shinra HQ. While it only has the top levels, it is still a great place. At the top is the presidental room, where I found Rufus, and at the bottom is a garage filled with motorcycles from Advent Children, along with a passage leading out to the highway in Midgar. After getting lost many times, not to mention crashed into and killed by passing vehicles, I wound up in the Chocobo Farm, where I found the brand new chocobos, which I immediately fell in love with. I also found the Zolom that Sephiroth killed by a cave that leads to where a golden chocobo is locked into. I'll leave it up to you players to figure out how to unlock it. :p Somewhere along the way I found myself in Aerith's church. I was half expecting myself to find Aerith in there, but only slightly disappointed by her absence. Well, I think that covers the main areas in the map. Each of the areas were done to near perfection, all of which are as true to FF7 as you can get while still having a playable map. Now then, go download this map. Even if you do not like FF7, I would still suggest giving this map a download, because it is so well made. Enjoy!

Battle Over Coruscant
fighting, as I quickly realised when my JA game came up with the max vehicles error, and this was with NO extra vehicles in my base folder. So yeah, before you even think about downloading this you'll need to get the 99 Vehicles Fix which can be found HERE or use a mod which does the same thing, e.g JA+ You do get a large sense of scale when playing in the open space area, and although it isn't quite what is in the movie, it's still fairly fun to play online, provided you have some skill flying the space vehicles and can shoot other people down. The FPS was a little iffy, it did drop a little low sometimes, but generally its playable and I didn't encounter too many problems in this respect. The design of the level, is also very interesting as well - You start in a small room with three teleports leading to different hangers, and then you get a ship and go kill somebody ;) Can't say I like those teleporters, not too obvious what they are, look more like infrared beams to me, but I'll let that slide for now :) I guess my favourite ship was the droid control ship, as it is very similar to the one in the movies - pity it's only the hangers you can go into ;) Oh, however I thought the shields over the hangers were there to protect the ships from laser-fire? As it turns out you can still shoot ships through them, which kinda defeats the point but meh. Also, If you accidentally jump ship whilst flying, you'll find yourself in an eternal loop, teleporting from the bottom of the arena to the top, with no way out that I could find without cheats being on. So don't jump ship ;) Oh, there's also a few console errors when you first load the map but they wont affect gameplay. Overall it's a very daring map with a huge scope for atmosphere. I did enjoy the music used whilst gunning down my enemy, but for me a whole map geared around vehicle fighting isn't what I look for. Yes, there are fighting areas but they aren't particularly huge and you need a LOT of people to fill the map up. I think many of you will have fun with this map, especially with the new vehicles included (Theres 12!) But if you're not a pilot I'd give this a miss.

Katanamaru Backhand Styles
sabers. -------- To start off, I\'d like to point out something that wasn\'t made entirely clear in the readme: [b]This mod is meant for Single-Player[/b] Now, the actual animations aren\'t that bad, but there\'s clear and definite room for improvement. To start, I found the slashes to be veeery slow compared to their normal counterparts. Not only that, but attempting to use any of the single-saber stances result in not being able to move at all. Also, the block/deflect animations still act as if you were wielding normal sabers. On the plus side, what the author did to the left/right lean animations was pretty clever. But then there\'s the cinematics. Well, to put it simply: [b]Just skip them.[/b] Why? Because Jaden Galen simply stands there, no animation at all. Probably has something to do with how the backhand stance is achieved. But aside from that, this stance pretty much works. Only a hand-full of problems to deal with. You\'ll know if you want if, you backhanded addicts. :P ...Why are you still reading this? Seriously, you\'re creeping me out... -.o ~Crazy ...Ok, seriously, stop reading already!! I\'m warning you...

Terminative 3 Home
JKFiles record that has been broken today! ;) It’s good though that the author chose to show as much of the map as possible, because this is a pretty incredible map! This is basically one huge training map, designed to hone your skills ingame. Though this was obviously designed for the Term!native 3 community, this is definitely a map that I would recommend to any clan or gaming community. The logos and references to the Term!native 3 community are pretty unintrusive and I think the training features in this map would be a fantastic asset for any clan. So, what kind of facilities does this map have? Well, one of my favourite features was the huge static training room, which features one of those rotating ‘jump & duck’ bars (though be careful not to get hit by it or you will be killed!) and various targets raging in size to test your aiming skills. It also has an area with two concentric circles, a small one inside of a larger one, with a button that spawns a Kyle in the center. The idea I think is that you have to use your saber skills to kill the Kyle bot without leaving the circles thus honing your close quarters combat skills. This is just one room though, which is accessed off a corridor, which is in turn accessed off the central hub, which leads to all the different areas. Other features include a duel room, two bot training rooms and a jump training area where you can spawn Kyle bot’s which fly around the room in various ways, helping you to practice your jumping attacks. There is an area that has three corridors filled with that I presume to be water. In these corridors are platforms spaced at regular intervals, with the spacing getting wider in the next corridor along. This area is I presume a place to practice your jumping techniques and accuracy. If you fall short of the platforms however and land in the water, you will be teleported back to the beginning! Yet another room is the interestingly named ‘Mysterious Pit’ room. Basically this features a big pit that opens up in the floor and, via the use of multiple buttons on the wall, you can customise with platforms and walkways that extend out into the pit to create a tailor-made duelling area! There is also kind of secret ‘council room’ type area. This last area has a very nifty method for accessing it… it has a combination lock! Outside of the doors to the ‘restricted area’ is a giant combination lock where you have to change the numbers to the correct code to open the doors. This I think, is a fantastic idea. It looks good and is a very nifty little feature that helps set this maps ‘council room’ apart from those of other clan themed maps. One other small, but clever idea are the little signs on the floor in various places instructing you not to stand there. Why? Well, because they are teleporter pads! When you use a teleporter (of which there are quite a few in the map) you will land on one of these pads, obviously you don’t want someone else to be stood there when you teleport in, otherwise you will crush them, sending them to an untimely demise. These notices are a clever little feature which should prevent people from being killed unnecessarily whilst on this map! (Health and Safety for the win!…) There are quite a few other features here as well, but it would take too long to mention them all, besides I want to leave something for you guys to discover for yourselves! ;) As for improvements, well to be honest there isn’t much I can think of that could be improved here. I would suggest though, if there is ever another version made of this map, that you add some more duel rooms, because one really isn’t enough to be honest. Other than that, I did notice a few missing textures, but these were few and far between and weren’t that noticeable anyway. Overall then an excellent map here, one that I wish had been around when I was in a clan; we could have used this kind of map for clan rank trials and such! If you are a clan leader looking for a new map or just like the look of this map, then be sure to give it a download!

Sith Academy Mod
Player side of JKA. Basically this mod changes all the Jedi and light side characters into Imperials and Dark Jedi, and all the Dark Jedi and Imperial characters into Mercenaries and Rebel soldiers! A list of changes is included in the readme, along with a general description of the story behind the changes: [quote] Just Imagine: Desann fricking PWNd Kyle on Yavin, gained more strength and killed Luke Skywalker afterwards. He overtook the Academy, and at the moment he is training Siths in the Academy, not regarding the Rule of Two. Tavion (wich overlived, due to JKII :) ) betrayed her master, and is about to resurrect Marka Ragnos, to destroy her old master. A few of Desanns old Reborn were switching sides. At all that, you are coming to the Academy, in the Hope of becoming a Sith.[/quote] Along with the character changes, a red bladed lightsaber is now also available from the beginning of the game, so you can play as more of a Dark Jedi character, in keeping with the rest of the mod. I think this is a pretty cool idea, but I also think it really needs expanding into more of a total conversion mod, as just switching the characters around doesn’t quite give this idea the depth and scope that it needs. Nevertheless, keep up the good work, and I hope you decide to expand this mod further! :) If you guys like the look of this mod, be sure to give it a download! ~Nozyspy~

EA Obi Wan Kenobi
had its share of improvement. Now I'm no expert in this field, but it would appear that our authorial friend here decided to photosource Mr. Kenobi's face. Either that, or I retarded.(or both =_=) Combining it over the rest of the attire, I definitely have to say that it mixed in quite efficiently, with a grace that seems to make Obi Wan almost leap out and strangle spider monkeys. There are a good number of versions, some good, some not. The Battle Worn and 2 default skins are excellent, and I've no complaints about the robes =_=. The General Kenobi skin, however, seems a bit...well, the only word that comes to mind is "ghetto". Case in point, the robe's brown sleeves were removed to make way for the white sleeves. I don't know what this was intending to do, but it just seems very unflattering. Other than that, it was rather appealing. The sad thing is: the sounds don't work. Poor lad forgot to change the sounds.cfg XD Another oddity to note is that the pk3 contains two additional PK3s O_o One built for SP Support, and the other being just a general skin. I wouldn't have suggested doing it in that manner, but I supposse if you have Winzip experience, you can oust the pk3 you do not wish to have. Overall, the skinpack is visually appealing I suppose. Personally, I don't see myself using it, but perhaps you the masses will enjoy it =_=. That being said, I think you should all immediately submit bandwidth and then pay Averus $50 US Currency or your country's equivilant =_,=.[/quote]This minor update fixes both the sounds as well as fixing the nested PK3 issue.

SJC Coruscant Adventures Pack (Night and Day)
bedazzlement...at least once a year, SJC has valiantly produced at least one map each year, each one's impact being the equivilant of getting a shotgun blast of awesome straight to your face, leaving a crater of glory in the aftermath. Now normally Nozyspy handles SJC's maps, but...Caelum and I wish to punish him for his sloth and impertinence >:B so we are going to double-team this map in our own collective fashion, and the Hive will celebrate as our efforts result in the explosive joy of everyone's celebratory dances and offering tribute to this map. [b]Exteriors:[/b] ----------------- Right, so, when it comes to the outside, this thing is big and pretty, in short. First of all, I should probobably note that the outside feels a bit like a maze, especially at first. This isn't at all bad though, considering coruscant is supposed to be a confusing, massive, global city. There were some very minor lightning problems here and there, but both the day and the night version had an awesome atmosphere to it. Tons of fancy details help with that - advertisement banners (screenshot #4), an awesome skybox, appropriate music and more. Outside, we find a maze of corridors, going all the way down from the upper parts (screenshot #2) to the lower parts of Coruscant (screenshot #4) and eventually the undercity, where even the sunlight doesn't reach according to SW lore. There's entrances to a variety of areas, as well as a considerable race track/highway-like course (complete with swoops - yes, you can use this map for all your racing needs), along the path of which are various bars and night clubs. More about inside areas from Averus though. [b]Interiors:[/b] ----------------- The interiors can pretty much be divided into two major classes: Beds and Bars. Sounds pretty sleezy, but hey, this is the entertainment district, what do you expect? Now, there are pretty much two main bars in the map. The first bar is the famous Outlander Club that was featured most prominently in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi mindtricked Elan Sel'Sabagno into effectively rethinking his life, a feat which, to my knowledge, did him little good. It's scary to look at its ingame carnation, because it's just so...empty, save for the bar itself. Most of the few tables that are available are just pushed off to the side, near the Holonet receivers, where there's a couple nice lil' sporting events, namely the swoop race and the ...wheelchair football match? I 'unno.. The second level access can be reached by a strange little force lift of sorts. Not much to discuss up there except where the doors go. One of the doors leads to a hall that will inevitably take you to some mini-bedrooms with 1-2 beds, depending on the room. This is where I started noticing that the doors in this map have a bit of a impatient streak in them. No wait function on most of them, but thankfully, if you hold use long enough, they decide to give you space to walk through. The rooms are pretty modest, not much to offer, but they definitely get the job done. Mostly chairs and beds, the occasional portrait, but otherwise nothing special worth noting about these rooms. The next major interior is yet another bar, although this one is a bit more spacious and is a bit darker than its Outlander counterpart. This one appears to have a little bit more in the way of seating and even features a stage where a holographic dancer is....wait a second...is that from....[b]IMVU?!? WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!![/b] [b]-=Averus explodes into a fine ashen powder. Another Averus steps in.=-[/b] Anywho, the bar also has two levels, though the method of getting up there is slightly peculiar: A jump pad. Nothing we're used to, but I can just imagine any character wearing a skirt freaking out at the prospect of ascending these pads. Other than the host of seating, the atmosphere(see: music) is pretty much the same. Nothing much to elaborate on, other than I really like the atmosphere here. The slew of posters, the less colorful bar, the...suggestive holo-images. Really feels like a Star-Warsy downtown bar. ONWARD, to the...apartment complexes. Here, a most devious set of interiors await thee. Most of the apartments here feature pretty barebones furnishings, mostly a desk with a terminal and a bed, with the only decor being some wall posters. Amusingly enough, one of the apartments has a malfunctioning door. Privacy, you has it not. The most fortunate of the apartments is one that(I'm assuming, here, since I've never watched the animations,) belonged to Cad Bane. This one is most fortunate in its furnishings, as it holds desks, bed, WINDOWS, and...some holographic droid of sorts. Not sure what it's deal is, but SJC loves him some holograms. Winding the base here, it's time to finish off and mention the roadside "underground" bar, which is the most unorthodox of the taverns. This one features a large critter underneath the floorboards. Guess what it is? A RANCOR?! OF COURSE! Most of the actual seating for this den is actually strewn in a side alcove. The main area is mostly an arena strewn with laser turrets and a control panel to unleasha deh rannycor(nice tough with the sound clip, by the way XD) Couple TVs, some more holo-decor, and you've got the underground den pretty much laid out. It's a shame there wasn't much seating in this one, maybe behind a two-way mirror, where the betters can see who wins and who gets eaten. Dunno, just a thought :D [b]Closing Thoughts:[/b] ------------------------ Part of me was surprised at just how small the map was in comparison to the file size, but considering the MASSIVE amount of custom textures and shaders that went into this map, I can understand just how easily that stuff can add up. Overall, a magnificent map, and it's projects like these that make me feel ever so grateful for the master server's resurrection. En Taro Tassadar...really? That's how I'm gonna end it? *sighs*....Okay. Back to you, Caelum. Now, quality-wise. Sufficed to say, this is SJC quality. There were some areas where the FPS of my less-than-modern machine struggled a little, but in all, this map seems stable & looks awesome. I also have to say those 3D image thingies (like the road blocking droid & the female dancer) are very fancy. There is one thingy I would like to see in a future version - an expanded interior for that landed ship (see screenshots #1 & #3). Yeah, I'm a sucker for ship interiors ;) Worth getting, though? Well, obviously! :P New Textures: Aye New Music: Aye Secrets to plunder: Aye Bot Support: Aye -=Cosmos Duality - Averus & Caelum=-

Atlantica
with this map in hands, I can effectively say I've been compensated for mah troubles >_> Forst, background. Conceived for the ::JEDI:: clan by Szico VII, this map, set on planet Mon Calamari, is a soul-harvesting, child-eating, and corn worshiping power house of script, design, and sexy. Seriously, feel free to take a look at the screenshots before reading on if you don't believe me. This map has effectively stamped out all of Szico's predecessors in virtually every aspect. Enough pole-jocking, I say! Let us proceed to a small walkthrough, shall we? To preface, I must note to you all that there are [b]TWO[/b] versions of this map, but both contain the same essential items, save for a couple features. Now then, to start us off on our grand journey, we shall begin with the broad exterior. Starting from an empty landing pad, one can take in and grasp the true beauty of the architecture of the exterior and texture work of the water and skybox. Szico REALLY went all out on this one. It felt like I was really in the middle of Mon Calamari/The Antarctic. The water was crisp, clear, and looked damningly cold. It also blends incredibly smoothly with the skybox, making the map feel very realistic. The skybox suggests that we're sequestered in a valley of sorts, and quite exquisitely, at that. Moving on from the background, we find ourselves staring at a monstrous dome of sorts, with a tower atop it, along with several other jutting extremities coming from outside the dome. This empty pad contains an interesting little device, but I shall save it for later. LETS PROCEED INTO THE DOME. The dome is massive, and made almost completely out of glass. It's quite an excellent observation area. The inside of the dome is what I like to call "rage city," as it has enough destructibles to almost completely wreck up the place. The overhanging lights can be pulled down on top of your opponents and kill them, you can kill the lights to the stairs, the main halo light,knock a monument down, and pretty much own every tree there is with your saber. It's beastly, without a doubt. Looking forth at the other extremities, we'll just glance over at the delicious shuttle that takes off and lands every few minutes, and proceed to the strange little spiral staircase. Inside? A room, with a familiar object of chaos...go ahead and pull the switch, I dares you =_>. I daren't say more, so let us return to the surface! Returning back to our empty pad, we'll finally discuss one of the scripted specialty features: dynamic elevators. Ah, yes, this one's a doozy. What sets this one apart from others other than the earth-shaking scripting? Simple: It's a BEAM-LINE elevator. As the elevator is hailed, you can see the beam path the elevator pad glides along with great ease. It is, without a doubt, quite awesome to behold. Granted, in some angles it looks very 2D, but it can be overlooked for the greater good, here. From this pad, we can either choose to go to the shuttle's landing pad, or to the command tower. Let's go command things, shall we? Once we hit the tower, one must circle around to the next elevator to get to the peak of the tower. Now to call down the next--WHAT?!? WARNING: LIFT RESTRICTION?! CURSE YOU DIRTY AND GLUTTONOUS STAFF. Force users at this point will have to manually climb up the tower(or just respawn there,) and push the crate off the elevator. Foulness, indeed. Afterwards, the elevator works. At the top of the tower is the admin room, a simple room that has more practical value in the RPG version, which will be explained later. Activate the console with the code provided in the readme, and all shall be revealed. See below at the end of the review, as the code here IS customizable. Now, it's time to FINALLY go inside, having left a few unturned stones for you to discover out there later. Retreating to a particular extremity adjacent to the dome, we shall be entering by a contact-triggered elevator. Quite stylish, I know. Step on the arrow as you walk in, and our journey shall begin. Landing in the awesome nexus, there are a huge plethora of doors. Eenie, meany, MINEY, MO! Well, wouldja look at that? A BAR. Hasn't anyone heard of an actual restaurant in this community? I mean you could include a bar IN IT, but RPG'ers needa eat @_@. Moving on, this bar is eloquently designed in the oval structure, allowing for more movement of the bartender. In the corner is a window to one of the most awesome skyboxes I've seen. It makes you feel like you're actually underwater >_> seriously. Anyway, evading subjective fits of rage, lets bail out for the next door into the detention center. Now THIS is what I call a detention center. Forcefields, steel doors, and controlled gun turrets make great security measures, and hurt many feelings. Now granted, it woulda been nice if he installed like, poopers, so people can poop, but hardly anybody lets forth a corn log in RP anymore(at least, in serious RP >_> it's too cool for them.) Anyway, let us take flight from this deliciously miserable place. Oh yes, by the way, please scorn and laugh at Szico for not being able to properly read and spell my name in that screenshot. Whilst that screenshot with my "name" in it was doctored(so I don't have a private cell), I just want to make him feel retarded anyway XD Let's GO TO TEH PARK! WOOT. Moving swiftly on, we come across a deliciously designed underwater park, complete with streetlights, and, in the basic version, NPCS that wander about. Honestly, whatever I say here would be a waste of breath, as it's just miles better to just inhale the visuals for yourself. Trust me, you shall be awe struck, methinks. Now we can finally attack the meat and potatoes of this compound. Moving down a corridor, we can stop by and see there's two...pits? Yes, Szico found it more entertaining to have the players leap down and be carried up in this particular area, instead of actual elevators. Not exactly the most PRACTICAL of ideas, but he at least designed the shaft to be quite entertaining to behold. Dropping down to a soft landing, we come upon a lobby with a malevolent TV screaming and hawking ::JEDI:: and the map. In my initial beta testing of this map, I attacked it in a childish rage, scorning its existance. Suffice to say, It breaks, and >_> can be fixed, although I will explain that later as well. Man, I have a lot of explaining to do -_-; So then, there's a nice lil protocol desk droid waiting for you, his function also being covered later. Heading left, we'll prod and poke the "west wing" of the compound. Walking along the scenic hallway, we arrive at the stairway nexus which leads to the deliciously scripted infirmary, VR stealth training room, and laser dodging training area. Definitely worth a personal investigation, as my words alone cannot recreate the experiences extracted from them. A long stairway across the infirmary leads down to meditation and prep rooms, one of the combat prep rooms housing Szico's pride and joy: Hexagonal Honeycomb windows. I must admit, these are thoroughly awesome, and as such, warrant a soul harvest. The annex here is definitely also worth a look at, as it was beautifully crafted, and features a nice fountain here, along with the vaulted glass ceiling, which is quite priceless. Alright, finally, we'll hit the East wing, which contains the archives, dormitories, and the council rooms. Archives contains something that will be explained later >_> NOW, the council is built like your average council room, save for the laser security and the RPG function that will ALSO be mentioned later. The dormitories are quite awesome, although the beds are ENORMOUS, even the bunk beds. Downsize much? Whew...seriously. and now,intermission.... [b]-=Averus goes to go eat=-[/b] Ahh, most delicious. Now that I can focus on the map rather than eating, it's time to hit some of the more technical aspects. First off, if it isn't obvious enough, this file/map is HUGE, and as such, may annihilate lower end PCs, so beware. Map loading time was like...well, longer than most maps, so I'd suggest finding something to amuse yourself within that time frame >_> Bugs: There's some. I'll just note them in list format. Granted, whilst we had MaceCrusherMadunsus in the server at the time pointing out bugs, truth be told I wasn't listening so XD here's what *I* found/recorded(whichever came first): - Elevator/Annex area: You can jump through the unclipped rock and step into the void. - Some doors may get stuck, depending on how you handle them. - You can see brushes and map objects in certain windows/ceiling windows depending on what area of the map you're in. - (one time deal, but still possible) The beam elevator's console brush disconnected from the pad. - A few hardly noticeable clipping issues with curves. - Certain sounds can be heard globally when they were meant to be local, an issue Szico cannot fix. - There is no mess hall, despite Szico's texture >_> - Doors can kill you >_> rather easily if you're not careful. - Doorway leading to lobby has a few clipping/textural issues(not too noticeable, really.) That's just a few. (I was told there was some z-fighting somewhere although I never personally spotted it.) So now I can finally attack the stuff I've been meaning to save for the final parts of this review, which has taken way too long because of distractions and general fun XD. There are two versions, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, or thought I did...who cares, DEATH TO ALL. [b]Atlantica - Basic[/b]: This is where RP can commence more smoothly, in my opinion. This area is void of most of the following features that will be covered in the RPG Version of the map, and features an expanded bound so you can fly ships within distance of the dome station. Now, to actually hit the cream. [b]Atlantica - RPG[/b]: This is the map where most of the fun is stored, for the most part. You must VENTURE FORTH and gain credits(respawning objects easily attainable in certain areas,) or complete certain missions to gain credits to buy your way up the clearance ladder! Missions include simple tasks like clearing out a hall way to completing VR training missions successfully. Also, whilst you're out and about, you can get the toolbox and boredly repair the broken TV and lamp posts in the park. Here, in a nut shell, is where clearance can be reached: Lvl 1: Freebie granted in the drop shafts. Lvl 2: 50 Credits, purchase at the desk droid Lvl 3: 300 Credits, Purchase in archives Lvl 4: 400 Credits, plus a 10 switch console hunt is in order to activate the console itself. Lvl 5: Admin Control Tower Also, a couple other functions require paying of credits, I.E. the infirmary bacta tank. The last other difference I recall between the RPG version and basic is that now the RPG version has an x-wing in the once empty pad, and the bridge to it can be destroyed. Okay, I've typed far enough

Crash On Tatooine
and it's rare to find one without any apparent flaws. The text crawl is here, the cutscenes are smooth and flawless, the voice acting is good and has seamless lip-synch, and the plot, while short, is sweet nevertheless. You are one of the Academy students. While your comrades in arms are sent off dealing with Tavion Axmis and her cult, you are assigned to investigate a shuttle crash on Tatooine. In doing so, you must first engage in a canyon swoop battle with several teams of mercenaries, then a large warband of Tusken Raiders, before finally cutting through some elite Cult of Ragnos assassins. After that, Kyle [i]finally[/i] arrives with backup. All you have to fight with during this, is your lightsaber, a single medkit, and an E-11 blaster. The map design is quite good, although some areas are a little tricky for your swoop to maneuver due to it seemingly having either heightened speed or nerfed handling. Or both. All the details are in where they need to be, from the smoke on the crashed shuttle to the jawas milling around the sandcrawler. Relatively short mission, but very much enjoyable, and seamlessly constructed. Highly recommended for fans of singleplayer missions. Mercenary pretty much said "Errors? We don't [i]need[/i] no god damn errors!". ~ Kouen Edit Apr/14/2008: Added different screenshots and updated readme file at developer's request.

JAM's JK2/JK3 Kill Tracker
3. Custom chat messages (This is not the kill message, this is something different) 4. A calculator. 5. A server tracker. 6. Custom Identities 7. Long name support. 8. Custom duel music (plays when you enter a duel) 9. Chat logging 10. Multiple playlists. 11. And some more. Having the tracker in your system tray is certainly nice, but I don't think it's needed. But, it does look cool. I did like the multi-language support, which means I can play with my game in french, although it doesn't auto detect what language you are using, so you have to manually set what language you're going to use in options. The custom chat messages are a nice addition, although you navigate through the messages with the keypad keys - , + , and *. I wish that the keys used to navigate were changeable, as I have screenshotting binds there. And, now, the calculator. I find this a random addition, so I made sure to find some bugs in it. While it does support several advanced commands such as sine, cosine, and tangent, as well as absolute values, rounding, and logarithms, it wasn't that great. First off, I use a calculator a lot, so I generally expect it to well. So, I tested if this did distrobution. It does, but you have to format your equation like so: a*(b+c). I prefer to format my equations a(b+c). It doesn't support that. Also, the sine, cosine, and tangent functions are only calculated in radians, and most people aren't intimately familiar with radians. More people are familiar with degrees. Another thing that could be worked on. And yet another thing, if you use the sine, cosine, or tangent functions, you have to format it like so: calc: sin(X) where X is a number. You cannot format it just as: calc: sin(X. It gives you an error. It doesn't even have an answer function, which just means that you can do ''ans'' and get your answer. (So it basically saves your answer, a useful thing when doing long calculations.) So the calculator was a medium disappointment to me, but it's perfect for the people that need to do simple math functions. Server tracker! Yay! I like this function mainly because when I use Xfire sometimes I crash out after joining a game. So this is a very nice touch. It will give you the server name, the number of players, and all the basic server info. Next up is Identities. A very nice touch, but I prefer configs. So I'll just stick to good old /writeconfig. Although, the /writeconfig trick doesn't work if you go to a different server that uses a different mod, so this option is nice as it's not mod dependant. It saves your name, binds, and model and is easily retreivable. Long name support. Certainly a nice thing for all of you people who like long and colorful names. Custom duel music. Not a bad idea, and I'm sure a lot of people will use it. But my music likes change, so I'll just pick a song that I like and play it at the start of each duel. Chat logging! Yay! Although I already have my game log my console already, this is great for those who don't know how to make their game log stuff, and want records of their games. Now, multiple playlists. Finally! Save that playlist! No longer will you have reload all of your music multiple times. Just load a playlist. Just make sure to click ''Create New Playlist" when you first load up, otherwise you won't get a playlist saved. It also has an auto name change feature! Yay! You can spend less time doing the whole /name thing! Also, there are several small functions that I haven't covered, but you'll hopefully find them Yay, now for some bugs that haven't been fixed. People can still spoof your name, although I'm not going to tell you how to do it. Secondly is a media player bug. First, let's replicate the bug. First, your play mode should be in shuffle, then, press the next or previous key a bunch of times. I get an error. It's specifically Run-time error '35600' Index Out of Bounds. But you shouldn't be affected by this bug unless you go insane with changing songs. It still has all of the regular features, including friends, statistics tracking, notes, kill messages, music playing with ID3 tag support, and a lot more. And, it still works for both Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast! Despite some small bugs, this is great! I know a majority of people use this kill tracker, so download this! ~Zach[/quote] Nothing's changed from the previous review, so, I'm not re-reviewing it. I'm just tacking on a note about what's changed. [i]The following bugs have now been fixed:[/i] [b]#[/b] [i]Change Playlist cancel error[/i] [b]#[/b] [i]Prev/Next Index out-of-bounds error[/i] If those bugs are annoying you, here's your solution. ~ Kouen

Escape: Yavin IV - The Lost Maps
conversion. Well, saying it\'s a sequel may not be completely accurate. It\'s really something of a replacement - a totally new story, twenty-five new levels, and plenty of new content to choose from. As it\'s very [i]very[/i] long, I tested the first level fully, and will leave the rest to you. However even just from the first level I can tell the quality is way up there. The puzzles are difficult, the levels, even on the easiest setting, are challenging, and the cutscenes are very good. The voice acting could have used a little work, mostly in just the sound quality area (a lot of the voice actors just seemed a smidge too close to their microphones), but the feeling of the characters comes across well enough. The author recommends you remove all custom PK3s from your base folder in order for this mod to work. The main reason behind this seems to be the incredibly high number of NPCs in the mod - if you have extra NPCs in your base folder your extensions will be too long and you won\'t be able to play, so keep that in mind. However the mod comes with enough customization on its own that you probably won\'t feel the need to have extra mods when you play it. I\'m not going to get too detailed on the features of this mod, but I will re-iterate a few things Darrow mentions in his read-me (which I strongly recommend you read). First of all, as I said, it has 25 brand new levels that were not included in the original EY4. Secondly, the interface of the game is new, including a \"chapters\" menu for easy level selection and a new saber menu (you can steal dropped sabers! yay!). It seems like after each level you can customize your sabers based on ones you acquired during the previous missions. So it\'s kind of like an \"unlocking\" system, from what I can gather. The TC also sports three, count \'em [b]three[/b], ending sequences, which is sure to keep you busy trying to get each one. So if you\'re one of those types who loves single-player but whines and moans about how bad the single-player campaign Raven included is, here\'s your chance to try something a little bit more involved. However be warned - you\'re not ridding yourself of Rosh Penin! ~Inyri

Clone Wars Cartoon Model Pack
gentlemen, cel-shaded and look just like the real-life... actually cartoon-life counterparts! This is done rather nicely by using a small trick - texturing only one side of a face, so it looks like it is contoured from one side and it looks like it isn't from the other. Pretty clever, and it works well. First we have quite a few Jedi, namely Anakin, Obi-Wan, Luminara Unduli, Barriss Offee, Mace Windu, Yoda and Kit Fisto. Anakin looks pretty spiffy, with a nice-looking costume and the robotic hand, which is actually quite good :) It might not be eprfect, but it does get the job done. Obi-Wan is... strange. I don't know, his face jsut doesn't look too Obi-Wan-ish and certainly won't be my favourite, even though I like him in the miniseries. Luminara has a bug that I don't quite understand... Her cloak's front side doesn't appear in my game. It does work in ModView though... Anyway, she is exactly who she is supposed to be - Luminara Unduli. Psyk0Sith did a great job at her, it's one of my favourite models in the pack. Barriss Offee is Luminara's Padawan and appears in one or two CW episodes, along with her master. I don't know why, but it just doesn't strike me "this is Barriss Offee!" when I'm looking at the model in-game. Maybe it was because of her rather short time on screen, maybe it's just me, or maybe it is the model's fault. I'd lean towards the 3rd theory, though... Don't get me wrong, the model isn't bad! It's just that it's not clearly her. And she, by the way, has the same bug as Luminara does. Master Windu in this costume appeared in an episode devoted to him and him only, and in one or two comm transmissions. There are actually 2 versions of this skin, with and without a generic robe. The model is pretty much accurate, but... But... I'm not particularly impressed with the head, it could be thinner, I think the author could do that around the cheek area. Yoda, the little green guy with the funny quotes! He has two robe colors, a dark gray one and a tan one. I'm pretty much impressed with this little person, although the weighting is really sloppy. This model is really just like the Yoda from CW. It has the CW-esque head shape that it didn't have anywhere else. I like that one :) Then we have Kit Fisto, an another green guy, this time with an octopus on his head. He's only dressed in underwear, as portraied in an episode of CW, where he fought against the Quarren. I don't like the look on his face, he should be smiling, that's his trademark. I don't like his taunt either, but that's pretty much secondary. The model itself (except for that smile) is done rather well and you cannot possibly think it's someone else than Kit himself. Next we have the Dark Side people! Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress, General Grievous and Durge... Count Dooku is great, model-wise, I love how his goatie turned out! The clothes could be lighter, they jsut don't seem appealing to me. The cloaked variant is nice, but once again, there is a rigging problem, the little chain goes right through the robe in a weird way... Asajj, the Sith wannabe... I think she's not really new, but still, she is one of the better models in this pack. Nice, nice! The detail on this model is pretty good, considering the need for a lack of detail (animated series animators have to make the character frames as simple to draw as possible). The model is just liek the Dark Jedi I know :) Grievous next! I'm don't like the skin colors (too dark), or the face (looks like a human face enclosed in metal, the chin shouldn't really be pointed down THAT much), but I absolutely love the legs, I've never seen anything simmilar on a JA model, and wow, it totally fits in. Durge, the weird-looking octopusy...thingy. Now here I'm sure I've seen him already, released on his own. Poor Durge. Oh well, the model you ask? It's just like what you would imagine, and that is a good thing! He is bulky, jsut like the CW Durge was, and is really one of the best models in this pack. And last, but certainly not least, come the soldiers... A pink battle droid and a super battle droid for the CIS, and a Clonetrooper and an ARC Trooper for the good guys, the Republic. A battle droid... hm... And it's the pink, post-Geonosis variant. It's also one of the best models in the pack (I might say that ít is the best one) It is detailed, and looks just like it should, with everything working and functional. I love this model. Next, the SBD. The model is very nice and clean, but I don't like the sounds. A bit too high-pitched. I think they do come from Episode III, but I still don't like them. The model is great otherwise, almost perfect :) And now my favourite troopers of all times... Yeah, I do like Clonetroopers :) The model is very, very nice, but the clipping! That's really one of the few weak points of this pack... Now the independent Clonetroopers, the ARC Troopers. They are very, very, very nice and they are my favourites, along with the BD. They don't look like ARC Troopers, they are ARC Troopers! While the model is perfect, parts of the model clip through each another, due to the weighting. Shame, really. To sum it up, most of the models are pretty good, and I do like them. The sounds are not bad either, but there are a few soundsets I don't really like, the SBD one for example. Then there is the weighting. That really downgraded the pack alot, so I would surely try to improve in that. Clipping just isn't appealing. I hope you'll make more of these, this time with better weighting ;) PS: For an even more complete CW Cartoon experience, use the new lightsaber blades included in the Zip.

!SoS! Skin Pack
used and they are all selectable from the player menu, or the custom species menu. Some of these skins are from JK2, some are new, it\'s just a big skin pack of all of Darth Algar\'s skins for his clan. There\'s no way I\'m going to name them all, so let\'s just go in order of screenshots. :) 1 - The Rodian here is obviously Sith in his dark clothing and markings. It\'s a great looking skin that gives the Rodian a little bit of polish and takes away that ... I dunno ... that utilitarian look that Rodians always seem to have. 2. I have no idea what model was used for this skin. But I absolutely love the shoulder shield thingy in the back. That\'s just too freakin\' cool. Other than that, I thought the face was just a bit too dark. 3. Padme gone Sith. She still keeps that sweetness about her even dressed in shiny leather (er, that PVC stuff, right?) and in spite of the glowing red eyes and dark tats on her face. 4. Probably one of my favorites of the females included in this pack. The Twi\'lek has an ethereal quality about her. She\'s still very evil-looking, but softer, too. The light blue tattoos all over her body are almost like veins. 5. Meh. This skin kinda bugs me. That\'s Anakin, right? With the really pointed chin and really broad shoulders. There\'s just something that bugs me about the face of this one. It looks too goth for the clothes he\'s wearing or something. 6. Okay, I have mixed feelings about this Kyle reskin. I like Kyle all Sith-like and stuff. But the tag on the front, mixed with the skull (I think) on the arm, with the Batman-esque painted on mask tattoo - blah. 7. Desann reskins are sometimes my favorites. I love to see what people do with the lizard. In this case, the author attempted to make him even more evil with a skull on his chest. Meh. I like the rest of the skin, but the skull thing just seems too cliche to me. 8. I do believe this is probably Darth Algar\'s personal skin. But don\'t quote me on that. He seems to really favor the Zabrak, so I\'m assuming it\'s his. It\'s a very simple skin, with the focus on the white face with some very nice artwork. 9. There is just something about this skin that bugs me. Maybe it\'s the focus on the breasts and how unnatural they look. I do like the clothes and the face tattoos, but the bodice just annoys me. 10. Okay, creepiest skin ever. The shader is very cool and you can like, peer into this Sith\'s evil soul and ... yeah. *shudder* 11. This is such a great Austin Powers skin. The suit is perfect and he totally looks like him. It\'s just a modified version of the one by Shadow Blight. Love it. Great job on this skin pack, Darth Algar. :D Bot Support: Yes Team Colors: Yes New Sounds: Yes ~AmosMagee

Jedi Council GCX - 2010
remember our server using it JedicouncilGC ad nausea. Erstok, in whatever enterprising mood struck him that day that he began, has decided to "update" JedicouncilGCX in an effort to breathe new life into the map. His plan? Rebuild the entire thing from scratch and make his desired changes. Now, before I begin, let me elaborate on the basic premises of JedicouncilGCX. This map was essentially the headquarters of the {O} clan back in the early 2000's. Somehow, someway, this map got leaked into the public, and was never officially released, per se. Since then, it has served as a grounds for Roleplay in a Jedi Temple setting, or a general hangout map for Jedi-oriented clans. In an effort to show you all just how the old and the new differ from each other, I will be describing each individually as I walk you through the map. We'll start in... -=The Lobby=- Old: This was always my least favorite room as it was always big and empty, and didn't have much appeal to me with the white marble. This room consisted of a large arched hallway with massive cylindrical pillars and red carpet leading up the stairs and around them. A lot of benches and plants were dotted about the general area, and there were many doorways that led to various training rooms, though a select few led to special or transitional areas within the temple. New: The function and architecture of this area hasn't changed much. From what I've been told, the pillars appear to be slightly different in construction, though I cannot say for certain if this is true. The red carpet originally did not lead to the NPC training room or the dark room(covered later,) but now there are paths to these rooms. Lighting has been altered in this area, including sunbeams peaking through the windows, which is definitely a neat touch. The statues, which were originally JK2, are now JK3 Rift statues. Door placement has not changed, however. -=The Dark, NPC, Dojo, and Water training Rooms=- Old:GCX was quite infamous for possessing a motley assortment of dueling/training areas. First, a dark room with minimal lighting and four turret positions at every corner of the room. Second, a japanese style dojo with some display cases in the room. Third, a glass dueling room with a pit of water below. Finally, a half-circle NPC training room, with a slew of default NPCs to train your battle skills upon, and a hidden observation room for teachers. New: The Dark Room now features a monochrome lighting scheme versus the red/blue scheme that the original possessed. The Japanese Dojo has endured no changes, which is sort of a shame, since there's no sourced lighting in this room. The glass dueling room has undergone a major change, with the glass catwalks now leading to TWO exits. The water is also much more shallow than the previous, making it easier to get back into the fight. Finally, the NPC training room has now undergone a full spherical overhaul, and the observation deck is much more visible. -=Archives=- Old: The archives in GCX were massive, almost intimidating. There were two doors that led into the archives, though for some reason, both led to only one section of the archives, with an additional section branching out to another section. Both sections had large grand staircases that led up to the second level, and equally massive windows to provide sunlight. The bookcases were also...just insanely massive, and on the outside of each shelf on the first floor were display cases full of saber hilts. New: This place was pretty much rebuilt entirely. The place is a lot less colossal, and a lot more plausible. The archives are a lot tighter now, which means less travel time, and the stairs are now near the doors, which now lead to individual sections of the archives instead of the same. There's also glass guards so you can't just walk off the second floor and hit the floor. The workstations are all on the first floor, so no random tables on the second floor. Windows are smaller, and the hilts are still there. -=The Hangar, Bar, and Prison=- Old: GCX featured a "Master Windu's Bar and Grill" in the middle of a hangar full of Jedi Starfighters created by Aaron Smith, along with an X-wing and YT-1300. On the upper floor, there was a detention block where people could be imprisoned. New: This update doesn't change much in the hangar. The bar has a bit darker lighting scheme, and now features a switch that toggles some lounge music. Very nice touch. The prison and the hangar hasn't gotten much overhaul other than the lighting, though the wire catwalk is now glass. Alright, this could go on forever... I think I'll do two more areas, and let you guys explore the rest XD! -=The Hallways=- Old: GCX, despite being a great map, had very bland and lifeless hallways. They were pretty much simplistic rectangular transitions. New: The new hallways are FAR more decorative. Complete with a brighter lighting, these hallways now have more ornate architecture with banners at set intervals. SOOO much better than the original. -=The Upper Rooms=- Old: Four elevators led up to an upper floor that led to two bedchamber wings, a meditation chamber, and a council chamber. This room was notorious for having concealed buttons in the council and the bedrooms. New: Wow, this place got a nice overhaul. First off, the bed chamber wings got shorter transitionary wings, filled with benches, a fountain structure in the middle of the room to fill it out better, and similar architecture to the hallways to fill it in moreso. The secret buttons? Visible now. Sorta sad, but sorta nice too. No biggy. The council room and meditation room are generally the same, though the sizes are a little different. Whew...alright, so, as you can see, this map already had a lot to offer back in GCX, and now GCX '10 offers even more. This version actually added the classic space council room from the JK2 JedicouncilGC, which was a pretty neat idea. Along with the new additions, I neglected to mention the new admin room to lock down some of the rooms, as well as the overhauled garden, but honestly, it's worth a look. Now...methinks this needs a 2.1, and lemme tell ya why! 1.) That pillar in the middle of the council room just has to go. It just seems so obstructive, and it makes no sense to place a stone pillar where a human could stand in the center in the middle of inquiries, and council members can't address people across the room without looking around it. 2.) You basically made the same mistake GC did, including enough of the vehicle information to make it semi-playable and displayable, but some of the shaders aren't there. Go beyond the book, and include the full set so people can use it without having to download the thing off of Lucasfiles!(hint, hint.) 3.)See if you can alter the bacta tanks so that a player can enter them. Trust me, seems stupid, but you'd please oh so many people. Seriously, if you include those things, this map would outclass it's inspired work in totality. I say go for it, Erstok. You've pulled a wise move, facelifting this map. Looking forward to see any future versions like crazy. =_,= New Textures: Aye New Music: Aye Secrets to plunder: Aye Bot Support: Aye - Averus Retruthan[/quote] Right, so what's new?! Quite a bit, really. We have a huge textural overhaul. A prime example I noticed is that the training room is now darker and has a HORDE of training damage. The carpet overhauls look pretty nice as well. Now, some additional changes: The hangar has now been completely overhauled, with the starfighters completely removed and in their place, stacks of boxes and a better floor. The bar has gotten an aesthetic overhaul, as did the detention center. Much better security, I'd say. In the medical bay...well remember when I asked if he could make the bacta tanks usable? Turns out, he made new ones and they're quite awesome =_= and they are fully interactive. And finally, the Jedi Council, the hallmark of the entire map, has been touched up, with an Atlantica style halo lamp and the removal of that blasted pillar. Rest well, Erstok, for you have done a great service to the JedicouncilGCX map's legacy. The temple is now much more lived in, and has greatly benefited from your handiwork. I declare this map to be in a far better(and far more RPable!) state than it used to be. Let all rejoice, and make merry...

Princess Leia
I don\'t recall ever seeing the slave model. And now, here she is, in all her glory. There are four seperate, perfect skins. The first one has Leia with her long hair and it looks great! I remember being excited when what\'s-his-face came out with that one model from ... um, was it Farscape? That was just because of the hair, and the hair actually wasn\'t that great. This is great hair right here! In the second screenshot you see Leia in her famous slave outfit. It looks great, and all of the details are included here. The third screenshot shows the classic Leia with her beautiful buns (her HAIR) and finally in the fourth is Leia in her ceremonial costume. StingRay, you did a wonderful job here. Leia is just beautiful and I can\'t wait to get someone to reskin her for me - with your permission, of course. ;) You had absolutely not reason to be intimidated to submit this model. It\'s great. My only complaint would be the colors in some of the skins. I think there\'s one where the reds don\'t match up just right. But that\'s it. Keep modeling!

Escape: Yavin IV
models, new cutscenes, animations, etc. All of this is new and it's all done quite well. It was a bit of a challenge for me and I didn't even come close to finishing it (mostly because of a time restraint). If you've been bored with the SP game from Jedi Academy, you might want to check out Escape: Yavin IV. The only things I was disappointed in are significant, but don't make or break this game. The size, of course, is a factor. It's over 100MB in size, so it's going to take a while to download for quite a few of you. Second complaint would be the voice acting. It was all done by one person. And I'm not quite sure why the Queen's voice had a tinny sound to it. That didn't make any sense. Anyway, try getting more people to help voice act for your levels - there are quite a few out there who are willing. Several guys I know out there who'd be interested. And there are fewer women available, but I'm one of them! :D [/shamelessplug] Aaaaaaanyway, if you can tolerate the download - check this total conversion out! ~AmosMagee Ps. There's a walkthrough included! Okay, totally going to cheat and play this all the way through later. :D

Base Customization
other BaseJKA models, such as Luke and Kyle. -------- Wow, for real? Ravensoft could have used a style like this. Seriously, I'm surprised they didn't. Not only would it be relatively easy to do, it would allow for so much customization. This mod does a good job. All sorts of customization, no default kyle when someone doesn't have it. If I have one gripe, it's the fact that some parts are missing (such as Kyle's shoulder pad) due to them not existing on the jedi or reborn. But I understand that the author can't do much about that, so I'll forgive him. There's not much else I can say about this mod, so I'll end the review on this note: It's worth it. New Models: No New Textures: No New Icons: Yes New Shaders: No New Sounds: No Bot Support: Default NPC Support: Default [b]-------- This ends my review. If you are interested in reading a short commentary on player models, read on. Otherwise, proceed to the download button. --------[/b] It saddens me that player models in BaseJKA had to be so basic. Even the SP customization setup is basic, as you can only adjust 3 areas (Being the head, torso, and legs), and even then, there's only a hand full of options. Something I'd like to see in a coding mod would be increased customization. Specifically, more options in the SP-style setup. For instance, rather than the current 3, have options like hair, face, torso, legs, extras (such as a blaster holster), robe, arms, and sounds. On top of that, more of each would go a long way. Think of games like WoW, SWG, Oblivion, Morrowind, and Fallout 3. They all share a few common traits, but the one I want to focus on is the player. In each game, player customization is high, even reaching near-through-the-roof levels. That's one big problem with a game like this: Unless you are using some special player model/skin, there's an easy 4 dozen clones of you walking around. It gets old after a while. On a side note, all of this can also apply to sabers. Because let's face it: There aren't enough of them. Ok, that's all I have to say. Again, this mod is worth the download. ~Crazy

Simpson model or skin released here for JKA, there haven't been any Simpson's skins released here besides [file=37279]ArchAngel's Homer Simpson[/file] skin that was released here for JK2 back in 2005, upon which this mod is based. The skin itself does not appear to have been changed, however it does have several new features, including; bot support, NPC support and new authentic Homer sounds, which was my favourite part! Afterall what would a Simpson's mod/skin be without some authentic character sounds? ;) This also includes the team skins from the original mod, including evil Homer for the red team, of course. As for improvements, I would say that since this is a cartoon character, this skin would benefit a lot from being cell shaded, which would give Homer that more 'animated' appearance. Overall its good to see that this mod has been brought over to JKA and also to see that the author has added some new sounds and taunts to spruce up and old JK2 classic. If you are a Simpson's fan, this is a must download! ;) [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]NPC Support:[/b] Yes [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes ~Nozyspy~

UltimateWeapons - JK2 Version (FIXED)
Apparently there were some problems with the effects for some of the weapons and missing shaders and textures here and there, but this seems to have been fixed now. So, download away! :) Original Review: [quote][b]***NOTE*** This is the JK2 version of this mod, if you want the JKA version please go here: [file=91175]UltimateWeapons -JKA Version[/file][/b] Well here it is finally! The Ultimate Weapons mod v1.3! I reviewed the trailer for this a few weeks back and was deeply impressed with what I saw. Realistic explosion physics and effects, better weapons sounds and better weapons effects too, I was eagerly awaiting the release of this mod, and now…here it is! And it certainly doesn’t disappoint! What we have here is a very comprehensive collection of both some of the author’s own work, and the best of other modder’s work too, all compiled into one all encompassing mod! There’s simply too much for me to describe here, so I will get right to the best bits! [b]New Sounds[/b] As far as I could see (or should I say heard?) it seems like every weapons sound sets have been replaced with movie accurate sounds. One of the most noticeable is the sounds for the E-11 Blaster rifle. To be honest I wasn’t that fond of the default JKA sounds for the E-11, they seemed a bit too high pitched. Thankfully this mod completely changes the sounds to ones that are much more like those you actually here in the films (like the detention center breakout from A New Hope). I also liked the change of sounds for the Flechette launcher and Bryar pistol too. All in all a vast improvement over the default JKA sounds, and that goes for all the weapons! Also included are new lightsaber sounds, which sound more like the ones from the Original Films and also the original Jedi Knight games, along with new sounds for force powers and melee attacks too. I liked the change of the force power sounds, they now sound much more discreet and realistic compared to the rather loud default JKA ones. [b]New Weapons [/b] Here the mod gets even better. Not only does it have completely new sounds, there are also four new weapons or should I say, replacement weapons included. Three are the Bryar pistol, E-11 Blaster rifle and Thermal Detonator from the JKA Dark Forces 2 mod (which replace their respective default weapons), and the other is the DC-15A more commonly known as the Clone Trooper blaster rifle, from the Movie Battles II mod. The new improved repeater rifle, with new shot effects and sounds looks much better than the original, but if you want a change from that, just put the optional DC-15A .pk3 in your base folder and the repeater is replaced with the clone rifle. The Wookiee Bowcaster has also been given a good polish up, as have some of the other weapons. [b]New Weapon Effects[/b] Along with new sounds and some replacement weapons this mod also has new weapon effects. For example, new muzzle flashes and blaster bolts. The projectiles for the repeater rifle have been changed to look bluish and the secondary fire has been changed as well, which I think looks great. Its pretty similar with the rest of the weapons, the E-11 blaster bolts have been changed, and now look much better, as have the firing effects for other weapons. The lightsaber has also received an upgrade with new blades made by D'halaine to look more like the saber blades seen in Episode 3 One interesting case is the Bowcaster. We all know that in the JK Games thus far (at least Mysteries of the Sith, JK2 and JKA) the Bowcaster bolts have traditionally been green. However, if you look at the original films, the Bowcaster bolts are actually red. This mod changes the green bolts to red, thus making it more realistic to the films. If though, you don’t like the red, there is an extra .pk3 you can put in your Base folder, which will change them back green again. But not only does it change the colour, it also improves the green Bowcaster bolt effects, so it is now much improved. [b]New Particle Effects[/b] This was one area I was super happy with! It seems to be an unusual (mostly male) characteristic that we like watching things explode and blow up. Whilst women on the other hand like nice quiet romantic stories…well give me a few explosions any day! :P Well I am very happy to say that the explosions and particle effects have been [b]massively[/b] improved over the default JKA ones. The explosions now actually look like powerful the explosions that you would expect to get from Thermal Detonators or Rocket Launchers. Along with that are all the little chunks of things and sparks and shrapnel that fly everywhere (very realistically). Along with the explosions is the new blaster hit effects. Instead of just a black blob on the wall (or indeed another player!) when you hit it with a blaster bolt, you now get what looks like a proper hole that’s been blasted out. Along with that you also get little glowy bits in the middle, and even a small tongue of flame (also like we saw in the movies when a Stormie blasts a chunk out of a wall). [b]Extras[/b] On top of all of that, as I have already said, there are some replacement weapons, and a handy .pk3 file for changing the Bowcaster bolt colours around from red to green and back again. Then there is also another couple of optional .pk3 files, which you can choose to use. One is a .pk3 file, which is called; ‘zzz_UltimateWeapons_LQEffects.pk3’. As the name suggests if you find that your computer is running slowly with the full-on-super-high-quality effects, you can put that .pk3 in your base folder and it makes the effects simpler and less taxing on your systems resources, which is great if you have a slower computer. I really think that was a nice thing to add in there, as it makes the mod even more accessible to people. :) Lastly we have another optional .pk3 which disables the blood effects in the mod. Personally I’m not that fond of blood effects, since laser bolts and lightsaber blades would in reality cauterise the wound and should stop it from bleeding…there goes my geek side again! :P The blood effects are on as default in the mod, but if you don’t want them to appear, you can put the ‘zzz_UltimateWeapons_NoBlood.pk3’ in your base folder and this will remove the blood splatter effects. [b]Conclusion[/b] All in all then an absolutely fantastic mod here, and what is more, it works in Single Player too! Though there is the possibility that this mod will conflict with other weapons mod’s and such, but that is to be expected considering how many things this changes. So if you want to know more about that, take a look in the files readme for more information. To be honest, this compilation is as close as I think it is possible to get to a perfect all round weapons mod for Jedi Academy, it truly recreates the movie feel in the game. And personally I think that this really breathes some fresh life into JKA when you play it. Fantastic work here D'halaine! I [i]very[/i] strongly recommend a download here, you wont be disappointed! :D ~Nozyspy~[/quote]

Jedi Temple
areas portrayed in this map simply weren\'t shown in detail. Most of this is either an educated guess or an artistic liberty, portraying a version of the temple the author likely visualized using confirmed details as starting points. To put it simply: the whole thing strikes me as a kind of improvised dealio. With that said, though, the map is still a jolly good, epic little hangout. It has all the features one would expect. Hangar, council chamber, grand hall, another grand hall (this one with a skylight), a medical room, the archives, a briefing room, and one hell of a lot of bloody passageways. Everything has been properly textured and shadered, however unlike it\'s most recent rival in the high-end mapping scene (The Enclave), very few base resources have been used here. Dynamic glow has been utilised for good effect in shader lighting, which is a nice touch. Possibly the thing which impressed me most, however, is the skybox. They\'re certainly not easy things to create, I assure you. Every minor detail seems to have been covered, including the Gunships in the hangar (you can even sit inside them!) and the lights on the walls. I\'m also glad to report that there are no visible errors for me to draw attention to. However, there is a lot of wasted space. The map is far bigger than it needs to be, and it\'s just so empty. This will cause problems for those with low-end rigs. My GeForce FX5200 was pushed to the limit, and in benchmarks this card even held it\'s own against a GeForce 7600GS. God only knows what you\'re letting yourself in for if your computer uses any GeForce older than mine, or any pre-2005 Radeon card. Your FPS [b]will[/b] die in quiet a few places due to the size and emptiness. Low-performance systems with low vid settings will also encounter the Hall Of Mirrors effect. The map may not have any errors, but expect some hardware homicide. Either way, what we have here is a finely-crafted, epic map which is a pretty decent representation of what the full Jedi Temple may well have looked like. Wander around, marvel at it\'s size and architecture, etc etc. Just don\'t expect it to run as fast as, say, Jedi Council GCX or Academy v2. ~ Kouen [b]Bot Routing:[/b] No [b]Custom Textures:[/b] Yes [b]Custom Music:[/b] Yes [b]Custom Models:[/b] Yes

AnakinVM
model as compared to Mars' usual work. The skin was only so-so, and parts of the model deformed horribly. I know from experience that those particular sections are some of the hardest to weight (the shoulders, especially), but I would've expected something cleaner from an experienced modeller like Mars. As for the skin, the hair looks very unrealistic, the hands are a completely different skintone from the face, and the face is blurry. The model is quite good, but it's screaming "rushed!" at me. That said, it's still one of the best Anakin model's I've seen. And trust me, with all the reskins lately I've seen a lot of them. Because we are the lucky group we are, Mars has given us bot support, npc support, and movie sounds. There's team support, but the team skins are the same as the default skin. He also gave us Vader, to go with Anakin, so you can enjoy that model again! This isn't the best work I've seen from Mars, but it should certainly tide many of you over who have been waiting for a good Anakin model.

Erza Scarlet
scar, it just was telegraphed way too soon. This is apparently a character from a series known as Fairy Tail. Never heard of it, don't plan on it, but I did at least look up the character on google images to see if I could get a reference pic. Sure enough, I did find a picture that matched the features on this skin, and given the circumstances, Jan was not a bad choice to reskin. Now the first thing I noticed on this character was just how grouchy she looks. Even when she was smiling in this pictures her heavyset brow just looked more fit for a scowl. This skin has definitely captured the essence of that scowl. I could see that grouchy piercing stare on her face all too easily, which I reckon is a good thing for likeness. The torso looks to have used a very familiar skin texture as a base. The top(I'm sure some brainiac will give the proper term in the comments,) looks rather primitive, and looks like it was just pasted over the existing texture, but scarily enough...it works. However, lot of work that needs to be done on the torso. This Erza lady looks like she got into a fight with a cat in that picture I saw, so she needed plenty more scratches and scars on her upper body, like crazy. I also noticed she has some kind of tattoo on her outer bicep, so definitely don't forget that. Below all that, it pretty much gets the job done. It's still rather freaky that she lacks a naval entirely, but I'm rather certain his source material didn't have one either, so I guess it's not your fault entirely, Ganseki. Even though the hair is hardly the right length for this character,(Another typical feature: abnormally long hair,) you definitely have something going for this skin, so even if you can't get a model, you certainly can make this skin work well enough to get the job done. Overall a very nice start. I'm intrigued to see what your V2 holds for us.. Bot Support:Nay NPC Support:Aye New Sounds:Nay Team Support:Aye - Averus Retruthan

Battledroids as Stormtroopers
think? Anyways, to the review. Here we have a modification that replaces the stormtroopers in Singleplayer to the Trade Federation Battle Droid units, and other familiar droids with some of the other enemies. According to the author, he started working on this two weeks after Jedi Outcast was released, which is a long time to be working on a project. Although, I can understand that there are a lot of different things that can interfere with progress, as most of you know. Anyways, even though it took years to release this, It was well made. The droids have a very strong resemblance to the droid units in the movies, at least in my opinion. One of the best things about this modification is that the author replaced most of the enemies in Singleplayer with a different droid type, which made it much better. When I saw the modification name, I thought to myself, ''Only one replacement?'' But the author surprised me with multiple replacements for enemies. If there is one thing that's key to a replacement are improved and different combat sounds, and that is exactly what the author gave us. Unfortunately though, he could replace all of the combat sounds for the entirety of the game. Nevertheless, I can understand his reasoning for not doing it; we've all been given a good amount of new combat sounds to satisfy our desires, right? >_> As far as bugs go, I didn't really notice any. I did, however, see a few small ones that aren't really noticeable. If the author has time, maybe a V2 could be made? I'd like to see more work like this modification. Overall, this is a pretty nice modification. I didn't really have any complaints, which is good. Like I said previously, I'd like to see a V2 released. Anyways, you did a great job! Keep up the good work. If you enjoy replacement mods, this is definitely for you! ~Syyrax

Star Killer
GOOD. HOLY CRAP. Let's start by quoting Nozy's review of the last version, shall we? [quote]Following on from his popular Starkiller 1.1 skin, Raziel here brings us a new update to this skin. Before I start complaining about how The Force Unleashed should really be coming to the PC and how annoyed I am that it isn’t, I better get on with the review! As I said last time I feel the choice of HapSlash’s Anakin Skywalker model to reskin was a good idea. The armour, which has been adjusted slightly from last time fits well on the model. The parts of the armour that have been changed are the breast and back plates, which have been trimmed down a bit, and now look a better shape in my opinion. The strapping around the arms has also been adjusted, as has the belt. Also the colour of the robes, and the texture on them seems to have been changed subtly as well. We also have team skins, though these don’t seem to have been changed since last time, it appears that the main changes were made to the default skin. Now, things that could be improved upon. Again, as I said last time, I do feel that there should have been some red and blue versions of the default skin, because people may not recognise the blue and red team skins as representing Starkiller. That said however, the team skins are distinctive and I think they look cool! Lastly, for next time I think it would be cool to try and include some bit support in there. Overall though another good skin here from Raziel, I look forward to seeing more from you mate! New Sounds: No Bot Support:No Team Support: Yes[/quote] As Nozyspy stated twice in his reviews of the previous versions of this file, the HS Anakin model fits this skin very well and the armor looks very realistic on it. The different parts of the tunic, armor, and various little doodads all fit the model very well and nothing really looks out of place... EXCEPT: Bum bum bum, the lips. Yes, the lips look very odd; especially from the side. They just look unnatural. Another small problem I see is on the sides of the tunic the belt is choppy and doesn't line up. That being said, let's move on to what's new in this version. The author added a slit into the back of the armor; segmented armor plates are very 'in'. He also removed the 'black kneepad things' and added new team skins, and trust me, they are spectacular. Just as high quality as the default skin. For blue team we have a lightside version, with a tan tunic and a yin-yang symbol on his white armor. For red team we now have the polar opposite - jet black clothing, deathly white skin, and fiery sith eyes. My favorite out of the 3 version though is still the normal skin; I just love the rugged appearance of him. Also included in this mod is a version of what the author thinks Starkiller's saber would have looked like. It is a nice skin in itself, and a good add-on to this great skin. Unfortunately, no new sounds have been included and neither has bot support. ~Laam'inui

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children Mod
or the other if you so desired, in addition to a new startup screen. I'll start with the new screens first of all :) Okay, so this is basically a redesign of all of JA's menu screens and whatnot. Advent Children based, they all are well made and seem to work well for their purpose, e.g. the picture of Aeris when loading an unknown map. I'd imagine this would appeal mostly to Final Fantasy fans, and others may prefer not to include this section. However you can remove it if you want, yet still keep the fantastic weapon set which is included ;) You can check out the screenshots for an example of a changed menu. Incidentally, the only one 'm not too fond of is the main menu pic - it just seems kind of dark around the buttons. Although these are the immediately obvious effects of the mod, once you start playing you'll find it's inner beauty, the weapons pack. It has a huge number of well modelled and skinned weapons, with the most famous ones such as Cloud's buster sword and Sephiroth's masamune being exceptionally detailed. Some new saber trails and slash effects seen from the preview trailers are also included, and coupled with the new sounds they look very snazzy ;) I guess, despite these classic weapons being modelled perfectly, the one I was most impressed with was the gunblade lookalike, although right now the name eludes me. This looks very impressive and seems like the hardest to model as well. If I had to choose one I didn't particularly like it would be the Alastor. Even though the sword itself is just as high-quality as the rest, the electric effects on it don't work smoothly like the other effects do. Incidentally, the old version of this pack had some conflicts with the Midgar v2 map, but the author assures us that this version has no conflicts, so if you have any old versions I advise you update to this one :) Oh, there's also a lot of blood modding here when you slash people, so here's just a forewarning if you have something against blood mods. ~Szico VII~

Delta CommandosVM
as he seems to be pumping models out one a week, but somehow he [i]does[/i] manage it, and we can all be thankful for that. I do love the skin on this model. You wouldn\'t expect this guy to be pristine and completely clean - after all, he\'s a combat-hardened warrior - so Mars doesn\'t give us clean armor. It\'s burned, scraped, and otherwise littered with combat scars. I want to give Mars a big hug for attaching the arms to the torso this time. He\'s probably tired of hearing me gripe about that, but I mean it in the best of ways :p. Here attaching the shoulders is ideal, as the large shoulder pads will hide any poor deformations that might occur because of it. Once again, some pretty nasty stretching during some animations, but I\'m starting to think that should be blamed mostly on the animation. The only way I can see to rectify it would be to add another edge loop around the torso, which would unnecessarily add more polies to the model. My one other complaint, about the humanoid head, is that the mouths aren\'t rigged. Not a real big deal, since most people don\'t play SP, but it would have been nice anyway, as it\'s not really that difficult a thing to do. Other than that, definitely a model worth having, even if you\'ve never played Republic Commando. Get it while it\'s hot! Bot Support: Yes Team Support: Yes New Sounds: Yes NPC Support: Yes ~Inyri

The model is great, only a few clipping problems, but as with the youngling, it is hard to avoid because of the size of the model (remember to add it to your JAplus modelscale server admins!!) The Ep2/3/5 are all easily explained, they\'re basically the robes Yoda was wearing in each of those movies, the Fleeing Yoda (Yoda heading to dagobah) includes a backpack, which is a unique idea and very well executed. There are a few taunts here too, some of them add two quotes together which work quite well. Overall it\'s currently the best Yoda we have and probably we have for the rest of this game\'s time.

Based off one of the most incredible models to arrive at JK3files recently(in my opinion), Haplash's ROTS Obi-wan Kenobi. Now for the details. The entire outfit, has been redone to look like armor, and done pretty well at that. The screenshots alone do not do this skin justice. The immense amount of detail is amazing, and I just dig the rusty looking feeling added to certain areas. Best of all, this comes with TEAM skins, yes..so you may enjoy in all types of games.

NPC Tool v1.0.0.116
like, 3 am? Yeah, well ... This is a very cool little program that takes you through each step in creating your own NPC. You name it, choose your player model, pick the default skin or one of the team versions, decide the NPC\'s size, pick the weapons that the NPC will favor, their saber color (can be custom too), their saber style, saber length, whether they use the alternate fire or not, force powers, their max force power, their regen rate, their behaviour and a ton of other things. I mean, you completely customize this NPC and it\'s so easy! You just click a box or move a slider over. This program is still in its beta stage, so the author has asked that everyone who does download this and use it, to offer feedback. Let them know about any bugs, or any improvements you can think of. It seems to me that they\'ve thought of everything for the easy creation of NPC\'s for this program, but you guys might find areas where they could improve. So be sure to read the readme so you\'ll know where to send your bug reports and suggestions. Great work guys!

The Sith Stalker For Jedi Academy
Presenting for the public's appraisal: The Sith Stalker, from The Force Unleashed Series. I have a feeling this Darth Shiftee fella waited a good long while before emerging out of the shadows to strike at you with this. Why? The model's quite pro, tee-bee-aech. God knows I could say over 100,000 negative things about the subject matter, but this model? Next to none. The only faults I can point out are minor clipping issues at best, minor enough not to worth mentioning, since for once I don't feel like ruining peoples fun.(for now...) But yeah, deforms nicely, moves nicely, and to top it all off, it has a hilt to accompany it. Aye, you read correctly: Sweet stalker hand on hilt action. Ooh yeah, and don't think it's some crappy thrown together hilt. The quality of this sucker is just as grand as its wielder. So, skins, how are the skins themselves?! Immaculate. Yeah, pretty much. Clean, crisp, and even shaded. This goes for both the model, team skins and the saber. I swear, this thing practically can stroll down the Champs-Élysées and turn so many heads if it weren't so frightening to babies. The only real weakness in this model is the sounds. Not in like authenticity, mind you, it's just that the sound files coulda probably stood for a quick couple processes through the ol' Goldwave/Adobe Audition/Whatever program you prefer. In its current form though, it's still quite acceptable. I'm just trying to find a way to poke fun at it XB 1.1, since 1.0 mysteriously disappeared, has now been uploaded, with the option to use the character in Singleplayer Menus. Now all is well. So, that's it. I'm done. No more will I haunt your screen with text. Go. Now.

Kit Fisto Shirtless
not sure if I should be ashamed or proud of the fact that I haven't so much as taken a look at the Clone Wars cartoon series. Yay for Google images, though. There's two skins in here: -A Kit fisto skin -A grayscaled version of the above, which I dare say does not need any further description. Accuracy-wise, there's nothing to complain about here. Besides, the base model is already a Kit Fisto model - one can't go wrong. Texture-wise, again, nothing to complain about. I would've liked to see some glow, such as in the original model, but that's just me. It's just fine without said glow too. Sounds-wise, it has default sounds, which I personally find annoying on a squid from outer space, but which is understandable. Here's my main problem with this skin: the model is less than ideal. There are atleast two areas where it doesn't align properly, leading to parts of the model being very slightly detached here and there. Additionally, there seems to be a minor problem with the texturing on the head that makes it look slightly strange. Most of this isn't the author's fault though; it's not like there are a lot of good alien squid models out there. Still, for ye green alien & squid lovers alike, this should be worth a look ;) [b]Bot Support:[/b] Nope [b]NPC Support:[/b] Nope [b]New Sounds:[/b] Nope [b]Team Support:[/b] Nope -Caelum

hilt model by HOUOU. There isn't much differance between basejka and this, however there are some things that are worth mentioning. First of all, author forgot to write in the readme that to be actually able to use "/saber" command you need to enable cheats first. After that, you can type "/saber sniper_bh" to get a backhand lightsaber with Starkiller's stance. The animations changed are stance, push, drain, lightning and grip as it would seem. Also I've noticed that grip was renamed into "Telekinesis" which isn't quite accurate (Because in Force Unleashed it's still called grip). The only bug that I could notice was that when you stand on a ledge, the animations go all crazy and weird so avoid those areas. As a nice finish I'd like to say that if you're a Starkiller fan and need a proper stance and saber mod that will get your JK3 a bit closer to the modern "Force Unleashed" game, you totally need to submit bandwidth for this file :) -Schrödinger

Prince of Persia Warrior Within Stance
his stance modification which replaces the dual saber stance with the one from Prince of Persia - Warrior Within. I honestly do not know what the stance from WW looks like, so I just have to go with his word on this one. There isn't much more to say. If you are a fan of PoP or simply like the look of the stance, download. If not, pass up. Dommie Kun

Sasuke Katana
low-detail weapon model, basic in construction and just as basic in the texture detailing. That\'s not to say it\'s bad, but aside from the shadowing on the blade I can see no texture detail at all. Shape-wise the model is spot on to the general design of a straight-edged Japanese weapon, not extravagant but at the same time functional. I\'d guess there\'s accuracy to the source material judging from the usage of the term \"manga\" in describing the source, and I know how much the Japanese love their black-and-white themes for these things. Simple but effective sword model. A Glock isn\'t pretty either, but it kills - and so does this sword. One more for the arsenal, eh? ~ Kouen

JA Unlimited
no visible limits on how many sabers you could actually have, but I guess I may have been wrong or I simply never had that many sabers. Even if you were under the limits, though, only twenty or so appeared on the list and the console was necessary for the others. With JA Unlimited, virtually all sabers will appear on the menu (obviously it's not really unlimited, but it may as well be) and there ceiling limit on how many you can have has been turned into the roof limit - 'tis much higher. Higher than I was able to reach with every lightsaber, sword, baseball bat, axe, halberd, polearm, voulge and God-only-knows-what-else I could procure from JKFiles. Since saber switching via /saber only appears to work in JA+, this is great for anyone not using these mods, since you no longer need to know the .sab designations to load your sabers. - Maps Again, you can usually have as many maps as you'll need, but now they'll all show on the menu so that you don't need to open pk3s in Pakscape/PakRat (shout-out for you Maccies out there ;) ), find the bsp name and use /devmap to load your maps. Great improvement in my book, helpful for those who don't check map pk3s by default, or don't know how to. - NPCs Now, this one you did have a limit on, and that limit is basically kaput. You can now have as many NPCs as you'll need - again, I'm figuring 65535 being the ceiling limit, but you'll probably never reach that many - without that pesky ".npc extensions are too large!" error in multiplayer. Score one for no annoyances! - Vehicles Oh yeah. Now we're talkin'. If you're like me and enjoy going to town with some serious vehicular manslaughter, again, this is the mod for you. No more .veh extensions errors, and the error with .vwp files (which were still at factory limits in the last release) is now fixed, so you can have as much firepower as you need in the base folder. - Models / Skins Considering the game can hold as many models/skins as you can use, I always found it kinda dopey that there was a limit on the amount of icons, but that limit is now gone. - Species Selections The limit was previously 32. Now, it's... what is it again? 65535 or something like that? Ain't that quite a resume? [b]Disclaimers[/b] ► This will [b]not[/b] work in the singleplayer game - source code for the SP DLLs was never released. Strictly MP only, sorry folks. ► Naturally, SP won't work at all if you're over any limits, so basically, my advice: don't put mods in base, make a seperate mod folder for this and dump your files in there, then launch this mod via .bat file. That way you can have as much as you need in MP, without shafting SP. ► Limits are there for reasons, as Kat Angel quite rightly states in the readme. Even though this mod means the game won't object to extreme amounts of mods, please try and factor in how much the iD Tech 3 engine can handle, and how much your computer can handle. If you have too much in your base folder, your game will take ages to load. The more you have, the slower it gets. The less RAM your computer has, the slower load times pass. The slower your CPU, the slower load times will be. You also risk your computer randomly shutting down, restarting, or random crashes by having more than the computer can handle. So, basically, if you never use it, don't keep it, 'cuz the more you got the more strain your system takes. Right, safety warnings and summaries out of the way, I think we're done here. Overall, great mod for you "pakrats" (no pun intended). If you play baseJA and like to use a lot of add-ons, this is a sure-fire winner. ClanMod version and OJP Basic / OJP Enhanced versions in the queue, uploadin' em as we speak (type? speak?). No JAE yet, sadly, so there's Kat Angel's next homework assignment. :p Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go equip my game with every fighter, bomber, assault walker and tank I can get my hands on. World War III ain't gonna fight itself! :o Erm. Well. Nuts. I need a catchphrase. ~ Kouen

This is a model of the AC version of Cloud, where Cloud looks alot better than he does with Playstation graphics. The model works well, there are a few minor problems but nothing noticeable, the hair mainly, but while playing it isn\'t really something that spoils it, so it\'s all good. Unfortunately though, no new sounds, but I know the trouble they had getting them and I\'m sure someone will fix that eventually.

Four Armed Grevious
give Grievous four arms! You generally would expect something of a remodel, but that\'s not the case here. First off, there are now four arms. All that the author has done is split the original Grievous arm, and then raise it up, and then he weighed it to the arms. While this works, it doesn\'t look all too good. First off, the top arms are very stretched, and they only move when the regular arms move. Otherwise you have two very stretched arms coming out of Grievous\'s back. It\'s funny, as I heard somewhere that Grievous looks like a chicken. Anyways, to make him look like a chicken, crouch, and you\'ll see what I mean. Anyways, the weighing wasn\'t that great, as evidenced in the stretching. I saw some places where a couple of reset xforms could have fixed. The left arm, mainly. When you walked it would be sideways. This model could have been weighed better. Okay, other the weighing issues, the author also made Grievous hunched. Yay. Now he looks like a hunched chicken. The hunchedoveredness really messes up a bunch of animations. Seriously, when you do the /bow animation, it looks like Grievous is smoothing his nonexistent hair or giving his head a massage. The strong stance animation makes it look like Grievous is scared and is hiding behind his arms. Okay, in taking the weighing issues and the hunchbacked animation issues, this could use some more work. But, on a plus side, the author has included a four saber mod to go along with the model. But, other issues aside, this can use some serious work. But I\'m sure some of you will like it nonetheless. Bot Support: Yes Npc Support: Yes Team Support: Yes New Sounds: Default Grievous Sounds. ~Zach[/quote] The only changes that were done is that the bot now uses the four saber mod, and that works, at least. But the author also tried to make it tos that the sabers that the bot used were blue and green. That didn\'t work. This model has some serious weighting issues, I would\'ve liked to see the next version actually be a reweighed version.

Now, when I tested the model at the resolution I play at, the nose was a bit angular, but it still looked amazing. The team skins are as you'd expect, so I didn't take screens of 'em. You may recognize the author's name because he's also the creator of the Diablo Barbarian model, the Old Ben model and Londo (from B5). All of those models were just as impressive as his newest submission. There is bot support included and several taunts to choose from.

very familiar with this series or the character, but from all the pictures I could find, this skin is almost dead-on. This file is reskinned off the Female Twi\'lek Jaden model, and it works. But there is ONE problem...When she talks, you can see through her mouth and out the back of her head...ouch... New sounds have been included too, and they fit nicely. Though, the rolling sound was kind of annoying...Whenever I rolled she said, \"Hmmmmmmmm...\". But, just...don\'t...roll as much, and you\'ll be fine.

Blastech DC-15A
shame, and this DC-15A is no lesser a model. I\'m sure a lot of you remember this gun, either from the Battlefront series or Republic Commando. It\'s quite an accurate replica, and we should all feel lucky to have it, as it was originally made for Movie Battles, but has been graciously converted for use with baseJKA. It replaces the repeater, and comes with its own icons so you will actually see this weapon when you are changing guns. It also has some custom sounds and, if that wasn\'t enough, the strings have also been altered to reflect the change of weapon. Ideally you shouldn\'t seen \"repeater\" pop up anywhere in multiplayer! This is definitely a gun worth picking up for those that enjoy new additions, especially Star Wars related additions. Personally I think it\'s loads more interesting than the default repeater and is a great escape from the norm! Give it a download now. ~Inyri

New Force Lightning Pack
into supreme forms. I know what you are thinking, and I HATE YOU FOR THINKING LIKE THAT! Yes, you must obviously think: oh what good is this filth mod to a patrician like myself? This man, Tobe, has given you the ability to change it into the following(and this is just MP): Web Snow Electricity of red and blue Fire Of Red or Green A concentrated beam of energy(green or red) multiple energy beams (green/red) Having tested this before, I can highly recommend this to you, the masses, for consumption and UTTER DELIGHT LIKE A LITTLE CHILD SKIPPING TO AN OIL FACTORY! Yes, children like oil, now be silent. The SP ones are for SP only and consist of electricity and a super concentrated beam of power. How can one not go wrong? What\'s better: the beams trace all the way to a wall, where you can trace your marks of power. The only downside? the range of damage from regular force lightning remains the same. However, this would require severe overhaul of coding, and I think Tobe\'s done enough on his part. He has even generously whipped up a custom soundset for each set of lightning. Overall? You want the brilliant effects you see below? THEN OFFER YOUR PATHETIC BANDWIDTH TO TOBE\'S FILE OF EVIL OR ELSE IT SHALL NOT BE GRANTED. FYI: Beware with what effects mods you combine with this, as I\'ve seen drastic damage done to the effects success back when I was a pk3 packrat. - Averus Retruthan

Aayla Secura VM
my favourite female character in the movies, although she didn\'t say much lol. The model has three different skin variations, red, blue and black clothes, all selectable from the player menu. The model isn\'t perfect, the face doesn\'t look totally accurate however it does Aayla justice and doesn\'t make that big of an impact on the model. The clothes aren\'t too bad either, they\'re done rather well especially with the choice of three. There is bot support, team support as I mentioned and NPC support, however no new sounds unfortunately, but there isn\'t much that can be done about that since there is a lack of sounds from Aayla and the Female Jaden sounds fit perfectly in my opinion. A truly great model worthy of any JKA owner\'s download, certainly my favourite female model so far, and the best Aayla so far, the others just didn\'t look enough like her.[/quote] Marz has fixed the problems with the previous version, the biggest one of course being the lekku (tentacle thingies on the head for those who don\'t know) are now smaller and it really does help the model look alot more like Aayla now.

JK2 Minimizer (v2)
ALT-ENTER all the time when you get an instant message or email? Don\'t you hate how the game has to reload the map every time, and you have to lag for almost a good minute while it happens? Well, the solution to the dilemma lies in this small-but-powerful program. Now, you will be able to INSTANTLY minimize and restore your game, with no interruptions or delays! I cannot recommend this enough as a critical program for daily gamers. One word of warning. This works best when you run your JK2 at the same or greater screen resolution as you run Windows. While playing JK2, the utility displays your Windows desktop at the same size as your JK2 settings, so if you run JK2 smaller, you\'ll miss part of your Windows screen. I have tested this in Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 98. It does NOT work in 98. Hopefully a new version will be released supporting 98 very soon. Otherwise, this program has become one of my new favorite mini-utilities for gaming. Get it now! [/quote] Unfortunately, the first version didn\'t work for 98 and ME users. Fortunately, Deathwish (B) gave us this version! Yep, now Windows 98 & ME users should be able to use the JK2 Minimizer just fine. If you are having problems with brightness or other issues, be sure to check the readme. He has included answers to some of those FAQs. :) ~AmosMagee

Galactic Alliance Jedi Armor v3
which include glowy bits (eeexcellentt...) and shiny effects (as well as excellent specular shaders!) for added depth as well as four new heads! There are also two new full skins, a very Sithy looking bald guy decked out in red armour and a more Jedi looking guy in shiny bronze coloured armour and robes. For some reason the character avatars for these two skins did not show up and simply appeared as blank black pictures, which was a little confusing, but nothing that makes me want to tear my eyes out in horror. Included as an added bonus in this pack are HOUOU's backhanded saber hilts, should you want something more Force Unleashed style! Before I became aquanted with hollywood_g1's excellent customizable skin packs I considered the customisation menu to be a bit cumbersome for modders to use, but having seen this authors excellent and continued support for it I would encourage other skinners to have a go at including customisation options for their skin packs too, the end product is really quite fun! There are many skins I like in this pack, but I particularly liked the Rahm Kota themed simple metal chest plate and the more Clone Wars themed white Jedi armour with robes, though I should also note that some of these skins can be colour customised using the colour menu. Also interesting is the different coloured robed Jedi Mandalorian armour; if you have a look in the readme, it explains what each colour means in Mandalorian culture, which is a nice touch! If I had to suggest anything to add for next time, I would suggest making some organic Yuuzhan Vong themed Jedi armour, sort of like the kind that Darth Krayt wears in the Star Wars Legacy comics, though without all the pointy sticky-out bits!

Dark Force Mod 2010
match. To summarize this preface, where JA+ is to law and order, Dark Force Mod is utter chaos and destruction. Personally I feel pretty stupid for not giving this mod a chance in '07, because I was not aware just how addictingly fun this mod can be. This is essentially what one could call a "cheat mod," as the majority of its contents would be considered overpowered and wholly unbalanced in gameplay, but honestly, who cares? This thing is dedicated to 100% fun. There's a LOT of features, and to go over them all would belabor this review so badly I'd risk boring everyone out of it, so I'll just give you some examples of some of the features available: [b]New Weapons:[/b] The Tusken Sniper, Noghri Poison Stick are unlocked and fully usable, with each having their own alternate fire,(Tusken rifle empowers, stick multiplies shots like bowcaster.) Along with that, the Bryar Pistol has become something like that of a super weapon, with primary fire firing a turbolaser-esque blast, and the alternate releasing a massive nuke missle that annihilates your enemies, splattering their corpse all over the arena. [b]New Powers:[/b] Single Sabers now have [b]ALL[/b] saber stances available for your disposal. There are also several adjustments to the force powers available, such as being able to throw a staff saber with both blades on, and the ability to pop an opponent's head off with force grip. Initiating the "Quad" mode will unlock level 4 force powers, and give your melee a new fireball spell that you can hurl at opponents with extreme prejudice. And honestly, that's not all, so I recommend you take a peek at the readme, as there's A LOT to enjoy. Now, most of what I listed is older features. This 2010 version allows you to set your max health, armor, and force, AND the server's starting bodyscale. Definitely makes this mod even more insane, and a worthwhile product to look at. I implore the masses to download and enjoy this mod. At less than 1.5 MB, this mod is honestly a steal. GET IT! NOW! Fine.

Star Wars Episode 1: Duel Of The Fates v3
that's one thumbs of for this map already! This is version 3 of JamyzGenius Duel of the Fates map. From what I remember we kinda skipped v2, because he sent in v3 while v2 was still in the waiting list, but looking over v1, which we will say is the previous version, there is a massive improvement! I am most impressed with the improvement in JamyzGenius' skills all round in fact, the architecture, texturing and lighting is of a nice standard in this map, gone are the full-bright rooms and repeating textures, now the lighting is natural and the textures and structure of the map look nicely accurate to the film. There are still things that need to be worked on however. For example, in the generator room, if you are on the lowest platforms and look up, you will notice you get a hall of mirrors (HOM) effect, because the room is so tall that the game is not rendering anything past a certain limit. To fix this I think you will have to change the distance cull limit (it is a world-spawn command if I remember rightly), the same thing also happens outside on the grassy area. This grassy area could also do with some more natural looking terrain, since the patches used at the moment look a little too 'pointy' and not soft and rounded like terrain should be. Of course, trisoup or quadsoup are the best things to use for terrain making but they can be difficult to use and are a more advanced concept. One other thing I should mention is that the large double doors do not open together. To fix this problem you need to open the entity window on each door at a time and enter the key: [i]team[/i] and the value: [i]door_1[/i] or whatever you want, so long as you put a unique name in for each pair of doors. This will ensure that both doors will open together, as a 'team'! Overall I really liked this map though, the generator room especially was very movie accurate and looked great, the walkways making for perfect places to have a duel or even an FFA Also of note is the long and also massive marble corridor that is accessible via the main hangar. I think it is perhaps a little too tall, the windows a little too high off the floor and the floor texture a bit too stretched, as it makes the character look unusually tiny in comparison to the room. Obviously the room is meant to be massive, but it just doesn't feel quite right to me. Nevertheless, the huge marble columns and those massive flanking windows look fantastic and impressive! All in all a very nice map here, although there are still a few things that could do with further improvement. As I said before, I am most impressed with how far JamyzGenius skills have come and I definitely look forward to seeing more from him! :D [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, TFFA, Duel, Power Duel ~Nozyspy~

Jedi Human Male Expansion Pack
be random. Now, I’m not going to bother going over each and every skin, because that’s just tedious. There are multiple variants to choose from, some look like the author just took the textures from one character in Jedi Academy and just made the textures match the skin map of the jedi_hm model. The head variants mainly differ in hair color, in that some have facial hair, and a few other things. The torso variants have some robe-like variants., some regular shirt variants, and some other variants. And the pants variants were basically made to match the torso, but you can always mix and match to get whatever you want. I found the skinning in most cases to be simple, but when you look at the skins in-game you really won’t care. There were some texture seams in some cases, but that can be combated with moving the texture around a bit and just fiddling with it. Basic suggestions include just practicing skinning some more, and just play with it. But one thing I was disappointed at was the fact you only get one color choice with the new variants. You can’t use the RGB shader thingy with the new skins. :( If you really want to know everything in this pack, then I suggest you download it and check it out.

place, you can choose between the X-Wing, A-Wing, and Y-Wing. You then go through hyper space, and arrive at the Death Star. What could be better? Your opponents are waiting on the other side, that's what. The other team has access to all kind of Tie Fighters, even a real strange looking one. Look at the screen shots below, I’m sure you will be able to spot it. That one is my favorite. You can choose the vehicle you wish to have in the game, by going to one of the control panels. A name will appear on the screen, it tell you what it spawns. You can then spawn it, and start flying it around. Be careful if you choose a rebel vehicle. There are turrets on the Death Star, that would love to put a hole in you, if you know what I mean. ;) Don’t let your mind wander though, if you spawn in one of the hangers in the Death Star, make sure you are in a vehicle, when you exit the hanger. There is no air outside of the hanger, so you better be in a vehicle. Near the end of the trench, there is a hole on the ground. Aim at that and fire. You will see an explosion effect, and you get 25 points added to your score. I couldn’t really find any bugs in this map, which makes me very happy. I did though have trouble approaching the Y-Wing. Every time I got near, it shot me. :PThe author also included version 2 versions of this map. The first version just has the basic ships. The second has all the ships.

I liked the quality, but when you have the blood mod for both mp and sp it can mess up the quality of graphics so watch out there, but nothing to worry about :). Overall this is great for gore people now if you pass out at the sight of blood then this is NOT for you :). If you love blood like some people that I know then this is perfect for you and when I say perfect I mean perfect! It just splatters all 8 pints (I believe) worth of blood splatters everywhere even on your shoes! The blood stays on the ground and gets all over the walls if you are close enough. Great job Snowgim this is great for anyone that likes blood in their game :). -XgamerX

Helm\'s Deep (v2)
screenshot. I expected it. Still, when it exploded, I screamed and about jumped out of my chair. But that\'s not all that\'s scary! It\'s raining. And there\'s thunder and lightning. Okay, whenever there\'s a storm like, where I live, I\'m practically hiding under my bed. I\'m such a chicken. Add to that, I read in the readme that there are Rancors in this map. Yeah, so there was no venturing into dark caves for this little girl. The map is beautiful - par for the course, for Nathan. There\'s so much detail in this map and it\'s huge - the tower seems even bigger in this map than his previous Helm\'s Deep for JK2 - but that could just be the lighting that makes it appear so. *shrug* You can expect to have low FPS due to the size of the map and all of the effects. The rain and lightning really add to the ambience in this map. The music is, of course, appropriate. And yay! There\'s bot support included. That\'s probably one of the most important things he could add to his map since playing this map online with a bunch of other people with low FPS is probably not practical. Great job, as always, Nathan! By the way, I\'d love to see you do a Siege map! Bot Support: Yes New Textures: Yes New Music: Yes Game Types: FFA ~AmosMagee

Assembled Jedi Kyle Mod
in blue and red stances, and different saber colors for each reborn. Kyle is reskinned, Chris Reed's blood mod, and Andrew McLaughlin's dark-lightning mod are all implimented. It is an interesting idea for a mod. I definately prefer the reskin of kyle to normal kyle, but I'm not a fan of the blood mod, and most of the new animations (Forward and Backward rolls are akin to "amspin2" in vulcanus, pull and push look really messed up, and the way you hold your saber in blue stance looks REALLY stupid, held outward like you had just lost a saber lock). The side rolling cartwheels looked cool, and the dark-lightning looks good. I also like the way your character looks like he's "breathing", his chest and shoulders moving up and down slowly. Other then that though... I don't really see much reason to download this mod. It has a few perks, but mostly not. The changes aren't that big, but they're small in a bad way. However I can see why some people would want to download this mod. If you want a little twist on the game, maybe the old animations bore you, then feel free to download this. I, however, will not. (This mod will also permanently replace your startup screen.) Ultima

New Death and Pain Animations
a little different. That is where this mod comes in! This mod subtly changes various animations, such as the grip, pain and death animations. My particular favourite was the back flip death animation, watching stormtroopers back flip is always amusing. ;) I also liked the dodge type of animation what happens when an enemy is shot, it does indeed look like the enemy is trying to either dodge the blaster bolt you have just fired at them, or is reeling in pain after just being shot. You can get a better look at what the animations will look like in the screenshots below, although to actually see them [i]animated[/i] you will of course have to try this mod ingame! So, if you fancy a change from the usual JKA pain and death animations, give this a shot! (Pun intended). ~Nozyspy~

Siege - Battle over Coruscant
specifically, the battle aboard General Grievous’ ship, the Invisible Hand from the beginning of Revenge of the Sith has been given a pretty good going over by excellent mappers in the past. Orbitus and Hatrus gave us a full space map, with the ability to fly between ships, and Sith J Cull made one of his excellent movie map recreations of the interior of the invisible Hand. But, whilst I love both of those maps, I really must admit that this map surpasses both of those in terms of graphical beauty and technical excellence. Afterall, we all know Darth Norman is a perfectionist, and this map has been in production a long time indeed, so expect a bug free, wonderfully polished map here. Whilst you might not be able to fly between ships in space as in Orb’s and Hatrus’ map, or see as many different areas as you could in Sith J’s map, this map has one great strength that the other two didn’t have, and indeed a strength that in fact most maps don’t have. Included in this pack is both an FFA and a [b]Siege version![/b] New Siege maps are pretty rare, so its really great to have such a fantastic quality movie map available as both an FFA and a Siege map! But wait, it gets better…also included are two duel maps, one featuring the observation deck and the other featuring the hangar area, both of which are well sized and make good areas to duel. For ease of reading, I am going to split this review up into different sections, covering the graphics gameplay, quality etc. First up: [b]Gameplay[/b] This is a pretty big map, which contains plenty of areas to do battle in. The general layout fits perfectly with both the FFA and Siege gametype’s, which is not an easy thing to do. Generally I would have expected the Siege and FFA versions to be structurally different, but in this case both of the maps are the same. Apart from the entities and scripting needed for the different gametype’s of course. There are plenty of corridors to wind your way around, and they take on somewhat of a labyrinthine nature due to the fact that they are very similar in appearance. So whilst you cannot actually get lost (that map isn’t [i]that[/i] big!), seeing so many corridors looking the same can lead to confusion. This is a good thing though, as it adds an interesting extra level of gameplay, especially to the Siege side of things. As far as siege objectives go, there are only two for each team. You either have to defend / capture the hanger and then once that objective has been passed, you will need to defend / capture the bridge and free Palpatine, which makes this nicely authentic to the movie. [b]Grapics and Sound[/b] Well, what can I say?! Darth Norman has made some spectacular looking maps in the past, but this one edges the bar up even higher! Look outside of the hangar shields and you can see a great looking skybox filled with ships. There are plenty of laser blasts flying around too adding to the chaos of battle. Get close enough to the shields and you will also here the cool sound effects of firing turbo laser cannons and ships engines. The thing that most impressed me about the hanger though, after the incredible level of detail, was the glowing shine on the hangar floor. Those who are familiar with mapping will know about glow shaders and ‘env’ or shiny shaders. However I have seen very, very few maps in which a shiny ‘env’ shader also glows! The skybox, combined with the shader makes it look as though the rays of the sun bursting over Coruscant’s horizon is reflecting off of the hangar floor, a very nice effect indeed. The rest of the map is of similar quality, with high levels of 3D detailing, rather than just relying on textures to make surfaces look three-dimensional. The observation deck and the Bridge were also fantastic. As soon as you step through the door if feels like you have just walked straight into the film! The sound effects for the doors, elevators and such all sound authentic as well, and when combined with the maps lighting, detail and excellent textures, it creates an immersive experience. [b]Quality[/b] As I am sure anyone reading this can tell, I have already spent most of the review praising Norman’s excellent mapping skills, and its never a good thing to give nothing but praise with no constructive criticism at all… But I am genuinely having trouble finding things wrong with this map. The quality is just as good as all of Norman’s other maps, which means this map is about as perfect and polished as you can get. There were a couple of minor things that caught my attention, though when I say minor, I really do mean [i]minor[/i]. I will come to those next… [b]Improvements[/b] Whilst I hold that it is impossible for there ever to be a perfect map, I must admit that Darth Norman doesn’t give me much to work with when it comes to suggesting improvements! :P There were a few very minor things I noticed, which I think could have been a little better. One was a floor texture in the bridge area, which seemed rather low resolution when compared to the rest of the high-res quality textures. Nothing too big, but mappers notice these things you see! Another thing was the skybox, which was also quite grainy when it came to the ships, although that is a side effect of the process of making these kind of skybox’s and would be very difficult to correct. Lastly, the ‘glowing shine’ shader on the floor of the hangar gets clipped off at an angle when viewed from high up from certain angles. Again though this is minor and most people will never notice. [b]Conclusion[/b] Well, this has been quite a long review, but it’s been good to stretch my fingers again, both typing and playing! ;) This is an incredible map, and the fact that you can play it in both the Siege and FFA gametype’s makes it even better. I most definitely recommend a download for this map. In fact…you would be crazy not to download it! :P Go on guys…you know you want to! ;) [b]***NOTE*** Norman asked me to mention this in the review, although it is actually in the readme too: [quote]Feel free to make a replacement pack that includes new models for an authentic siege experience. You are allowed to change the classes as well. Send that pack to me (darthnorman@gmx.de) or load it up and just send me the link. The best pack will be hosted it on my site together with this map.[/quote] So guys, you also have a challenge here; Darth Norman would like to see a pack made that replaces the player models and siege classes with ones that are more similar to those we saw in the movie, adding to the authentic movie like feeling. If your up to the challenge, why not give it a go? You could have your pack featured on Darth Norman’s site![/b] [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, Siege, Duel, Power Duel ~Nozyspy~

SJC - Mos Kreetle
return of a legend after a long period of absence. I saw this map when Sith J started production on it many, many aeons ago, and when Sith J mysteriously vanished due to real life work commitments I feared we would never see this map. But, he hasn’t disappointed us, as with excellent timing the finished map is delivered to our doorstep! And believe me we have a treat for you here today! Before starting off the review though, it is best that I first mention the mod which this map is largely based around. This is the JKA Galaxies Mod, a mod that aims to replicate the MMORPG feeling of Star Wars Galaxies using Jedi Academy. Here is what I think is a good summary of the main aims of the mod and this map from the readme: [quote] This map will eventually form a player world in the upcoming mod JKA Galaxies, the map act as a preview to that mod. I have included instructions throughout the map given by protocol droids that are standing near shuttle ports, and banking terminals and other key areas, the will inform you that you cannot do carry out a particular function at the moment, these actions are a part of the Galaxies Mod so thats something to look forward to in the new year. The map stands as a completely playable FFA map however with plenty of areas to explore and also lends itself well to the RPGEr as there are living quarters and underground bars to name a few.[/quote] The droids mentioned are spread throughout the map and are easy to find, they really do give you instructions too when you press the use button on them, a very nice little touch there on the interactivity side there! Now lets have a good look at this very large map. In true Star Wars Galaxies style, this is laid out just as the towns are in SWG, there is an entrance and exit point, that in SWG would lead to the outside world. However of course you cannot go past these areas in this map as it would be physically impossible to replicate the completely open world that Star Wars Galaxies features. The town itself is within some low walls, which allow you to look over and see some scenery beyond, which helps prevent the map from feeling too enclosed. The buildings, and indeed the whole town has a lot of SWG references, such as the droid sounds from SWG used for the many R2 units wandering around, and also the occasional electrical hum and other such noise. All of these are an excellent touch, which adds greatly to the ambience of the map. Buildings to explore include a Medical Center, a few small shuttle ports, between which a small platform flies, transporting you to various parts of the map. There is also a droid / junk shop, some houses (including an outskirts ‘mud-house’ type area), a garage and a bar, all of which are enterable. And I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet! The best (at least in my opinion) and also the biggest part of the map is the shuttle port area. Now, you all remember Sith J’s Millennium Falcon map don’t you? Well the Falcon (a fully enterable one too!) is back for this map, docked in one of the docking bays of the spaceport. But wait, there is more! One legendary, fully enterable ship wasn’t enough to put in this space port, there is another famous fully enterable ship docked here… [b]The Ebon Hawk![/b] Yes that’s right, Sith J has turned his multitude of talents towards providing us with what I think is the definitive rendition of the Ebon Hawk ever see in a JKA map. There have been several maps which feature the Ebon Hawk, both enterable and non-enterable versions, so what sets this apart? Well for one, the attention to detail is incredible. This is definitely the best replication of the Ebon Hawk that I have ever seen. The shape and textures are spot on, though the ship itself is somewhat oversized I think (as is the Falcon) but that is necessary to make all the inside areas fit in, so it isn’t too much of a problem. All the areas we remember from KotOR are here, the bedroom areas, the storage rooms, the bridge, the central room and more. One particularly special feature that caught my eye in the central room was the holo-projector, which has hovering above it a display of a system of planes and asteroids rotating around the Binary Star System of Tatooine’s two suns. Moving back out into the map in general more features that caught my eye was the huge wrecked ship crashed into the middle of the town (very similar to the Dowager Queen that rests in the middle of Mos Eisley) and also the maps textures. The textures are of note because they seem to use some form of bump mapping, which I can’t figure out. The effect looks great, and fits nicely with the rough, grimy appearance of Tatooine in general. Another textural feature of note is the special ENV maps that certain textures have - the ones where only certain parts of the texture are made shiny, whereas the rest remain matt. I forget what this type of shader is called now, but it is a difficult effect to actually make, so well done there Sith J mate. ;) I could go on for much longer with this review, but I think my fingers might fall off with too much typing. :P To sum it up, the layout of this map is very reminiscent of the Star Wars Galaxies locations without being just a copy. The textures are excellent and have been well used, as is the lighting, especially in the underground passageways of the spaceport. These areas look very cinematic, which their low lighting and slight haze in the air. Sith J Cull is always very impressive when it comes to hunting down and getting rid of bugs and errors, however I did notice a small few that managed to slip through. These though are mostly just small areas where a texture is misaligned or not scaled correctly, and in a map this big you wont notice little things like that unless you are looking for them pretty hard. Other than that, I would say that the terrain doesn’t look quite natural and smooth enough in a few areas, but again, that doesn’t spoil the overall excellent quality and workmanship displayed in this map. Overall then a fantastic map here and a magnificent return by Sith J Cull! As far as legends go, he might not be might not be ‘The Man in the Hat’, but he certainly is back! :D [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA ~Nozyspy~

The Jedi Enclave on Dantooine
detail than some of the others as well. Previously not seen details, such as footlockers and workbenches, are quite at home in this particular enclave. With textures close enough to the real thing to not be noticed as fabricated, but definitely not ported, you may forget you're playing Jedi Academy and not Knights of the Old Republic. The strengths in this map are definitely the very close-to-the-real-thing textures, as well as the very accurate style. Two of the most impressive bits, however, may be the Ebon Hawk, seemingly made completely from brushes instead of the existing Ebon Hawk map objects, and the impressive blba tree model. I must admit, months ago I was asked to create that particular model, but I shamefully declined. However my kudos go to SMoKE for completing it himself with excellent results. While this map is not as expansive as some other Enclave maps - it does not allow you to venture inside the Ebon Hawk, or venture outside the Enclave walls - it's definitely worth a look for KotOR fans. It includes bot routing, as well as appropriate Jedi Enclave music. Definitely worth a download as another great KotOR Jedi Enclave map.[/quote]It seems the enclave has gotten a visual overhaul. Smoke decided that the original wasn't up to his current skill level, so he spruced it up a bit. Personally I'd say the biggest improvement (and he may disagree with me on this) is the lighting -- it makes me personally more able to enjoy the [i]rest[/i] of the wonderful changes. Second place goes to the doors. I'm not even going to tell you about them -- just go open one and find out. You'll like it. Overall it seems like this is more of a fixer-upper. Everything is crisper, clearer, and overall better on the eyes. It's a great improvement, though, and it really feels a lot more like Dantooine than before, just by making a few changes to the map's presentation. The only thing it needs now is some Jedi walking around saying old Chinese proverbs! Definitely a great improvement here!

Link
users. And quite a few of his weapons. And some new animations. (Yes, I'm aware that there are previous versions of this - however, I'm referring to it as "new" since it's been extensively overhauled, and in truth I really wouldn't have known they were related just by looking at them.) Dan Kappahn, aka DAK, aka Antizac, brings us a great model pack here. We'll start with Adult Link. I can say, that it looks very much like Ocarina of Time, only more lifelike. If I saw Link walk round the corner on my way to college, I expect this is what he'd look like. The accuracy, considering the difference between the sources of the engines, is quite surprising. The customisation offers the three tunics - Kokiri, Goron, and Zora (green, red and blue respectively, for those who don't know), as well as three extras - purple, cyan and grey. I'm not sure if these were actually used in any of the games, since I've only played A Link To The Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and OoT: Master Quest, but they look just as natural as the 'canon' colors. You can also make your own with JA+'s RGB selectors. Black and gold look rather cool, if I may say so. Wonder what masks those correspond with - Ninja Mask and Paladin Mask, maybe? :p My gripes with the Adult model are few. The boots - towards the top of the boots, the skin seems to turn into a flat black color. This doesn't detract from overall quality, but it's still not very nice-looking. Second is the holster. It looks good, and is a nice touch, but it doesn't really do anything. For JA+ users, it could have been added as a holster, but the swords don't seem holster-compatible either. Now onto the 'Fierce Deity' skin. While it does look like the Fierce Diety version of link, I do have one complaint. The eyes look quite dodgy the way they were skinned. That's just a minor gripe, and not really noticable ingame though. Other than that, it's just as high-quality as the adult Link skin. Next up, is Young Link. He certainly resembles his Ocarina Of Time counterpart very well. He's a bit chubby, though - I suppose with the baddies defeated, he's missing his excercise. One problem with Young Link, is that no modelscale.cfg was included. While this would do nothing for a lot of people, considering most servers run JA+, it would have been a nice touch. Not many gripes here either. The weapons are next. Included, are the Kokiri Sword, Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Kokiri Shield, and two versions of the Hero's Sword - one from Twilight Princess, the other from Majora's Mask. The weapons are all modelled... well, like weapons. They closely resemble their LoZ counterparts, but like the model, they've been changed a little to look more realistic. I didn't take seperate screenshots of the weapons, but I tried to include at least one shot of each with the model screens, so take a look for yourselves. Now, I admit, I didn't test the new animations pk3 which has been included, but apparently it changes the dual saber stance to something more suitable for a sword and shield. Anyway, this is a great pack, and a very nice upgrade. If you like this, download it. Even if you just like swords, get the swords - they're worth it. ;) ~ Kouen [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]Team Skins:[/b] Yes [b]NPC Support:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes

Jango/Boba VM
rather negligible) weighting and clipping issues, this model is quite good. The only real thing I never liked about Mars\' clone models was the heads/faces. They\'re well modeled, and the skin on it is pretty good (although the jawline is a bit too well-defined graphically), but something about it bothers me. Maybe it\'s too round - I [i]really[/i] can\'t put my finger on it. But hey, put his helmet on and he\'s a beauty! The one other thing I found strange was how beat up the helmet was compared to the body armor. It\'s almost as if Jango let Boba play with the helmet some and had it returned after being pelted with small objects moving at high speeds. Anyway, you don\'t want to hear me complain about the little stuff. If you\'re a detail kind of person like I am you can find teenie weenie inconsistencies yourself. All models/skins have them. It\'s what makes them interesting, and if a model or skin was perfect there would be no reason for anyone else to ever try to make them, and that would just be boring for everyone. In the [i]big[/i] picture this model is a beaut. I\'ve loved Jango since I played Bounty Hunter on my PS2, and this model really captures him quite well, so long as his head stays firmly planted on his shoulders. I was a little disappointed when I discovered the chest plates were just painted on, but quite frankly I didn\'t notice until I was about to comment on how nice they looked, so I guess that\'s a moot point. In fact quite a few details on this model are simply \"painted on\", but if you can tell at first glance you\'re better than I am. If you can\'t tell, does it [i]really[/i] matter? In my opinion, no. I can complain about it all I want, but in the end if I can\'t tell while I\'m playing, it makes no difference to me whether it\'s made of a million polies or painted on a flat surface. Low-poly modeller\'s rule of thumb: if you can get away with it, and it won\'t take away from the model, do it! But wait! There\'s more! Yes, many different variants of Jango: with jetpack, without jetpack, with a different jetpack, with no helmet, with pilot headgear... plus, if that wasn\'t enough, two variants of Boba Fett. Now I\'m not going to comment on Boba\'s accuracy, because he\'s not the focus of this pack and I\'ve had to go look at him so many times that I don\'t feel like doing a comparison, so you can judge for yourself. The soundset is also pretty good. I assume Mars took it from Battlefront2, or some other game featuring Temuera Morrison, because obviously he didn\'t make the sounds himself and no one would expect him to. The only problem with it is that it sounds designed for a clone with a helmet. So what about when Jango doesn\'t have his helmet on? Well, he\'s going to sound a little funny. However to bypass this would mean a big (and pretty much unnecessary) increase in filesize, so it\'s really kind of a lose-lose situation. We do have the works here in terms of extras, though. Sounds, as I mentioned, but also team colors (Jango for blue and Boba for red), NPC support, and BOT support. The only thing I\'d really care about in terms of improvements would be a rigged mouth/jaw. I know it\'s a time consuming thing - my personal least favorite part to weight - but after three or four times it starts getting really easy ;) Anyway, definitely a good model by Mars. The weighting\'s definitely reaching that higher standard I\'ve come to expect from Mars, which I\'m happy about, and the rest of the model just completes the package. I hope to keep seeing work of this quality! I like it when I don\'t have many big things to gripe about :) Bot Support: Yes Team Support: Yes New Sounds: Yes NPC Support: Yes ~Inyri

Attack of the Clones: Total Conversion Demo

There\'s an illegal macro/script detection and deletion thingy. You can\'t use force while saber down (I\'m sure that feature can be toggled on and off), admins can teleport someone by name, not just by origins. So there\'s a lot of stuff here that should make admins very happy. :) There are new gametypes and all of the JK2 gametypes.

TFU 2 sabers
our cleverly marketed icon and new community deity, Galen Merak. The hilts remind me distantly of the default Praetor hilt, but they seem to maintain a degree of appeal and accuracy to their reference material. They look good, I won\'t lie about that. They definitely have a nice humble design about them, and look like they won\'t be too much of a resource hog(in the small way that sabers can be, that is.) I\'d say the real genius lies in how he markets this thing. It\'s clear to me Ash knew from the start people were going to want that diversity offered by TFU2\'s backhand wielding marketing tool, so we have a standard handed version for those of us who like treating our lightsabers like actual swords, and a backhand version. The backhand version alone functions as a one-bladed staff, BUT...he left out enough restrictions so that you, as a standard player, can indeed wield two backhand sabers with impunity, and you can still throw the right hander, so basically, y\'got nothing lost. Combine this with some VERY easy and memorable saber names, and you got yourself a very difficult weapon to simply pass up. So, any bugs to mention, Averus? Not really, this thing pretty much has nothing to break in itself, I\'d say. It\'s a solid, complete package, and I can\'t think of any reason why this would merit a V2, save for maybe if you wanted to add sounds or something, but honestly, a saber hum is a saber hum, I think we\'ll be okay.

Jedi Outcast Update
characters, as well as new sound effects for weapons, alarms, ambiance, etc. Adds 2 optional variant skins for Luke\'s lightsaber, both being lesser represented versions of the Return of the Jedi hilt (I don\'t like the one that everyone keeps trying to remake. :P) Changes Luke\'s outfit, so that he now has an all black/dark grey collar around his neck, rather than that ridiculous red-striped one. The basic imperial now has a dark grey uniform rather than the bright bluish one that simply doesn\'t fit Imperial Protocol. adds multiple new/replacement lightsaber sounds. What you get depends on what .pk3 you use. adds new music for various levels, taking away the constantly recycled feel left by reused music sets. adds new lightsaber blades, though this was simply because I felt it was necessary. They\'re not crucial to the \"feel\" of this mod, and you don\'t have to use them if you have a preferred saber mod.[/quote] Interestingly enough, a lot of the changes were very pro. The music choices were actually very well selected, and didn\'t make me want to vomit at the thought of listening to them, which is freaky, considering it was still John Williams\'s stuff, and I hate listening to that. Most of the sounds were pretty good, though some were kinda weird. What on earth did you do on tiepass5.wav? Sounds all choppy and stitched together. The graphical updates I didn\'t really put too much emphasis. The imperial officer just looked like a reduxed commander to me, and the Skywalker collar ....well I never paid any attention to it, so I barely noticed the difference.

Revan's Lightsaber Hilt
a real life model of the weapon. Honestly, it's a relief to see such a humble hilt, as I do grow tired of the overly ornate temples that people hold in their hands these days. So, comparing the shot to the model, and the model looks like it's just about perfect down to the last detail, as does the skinjob. I noted no graphical defects or errors, and honestly, why should there be? This hilt makes no demands upon itself, but rather says: "Welp, here I am. Take it or leave it, but I could save your life one day..." ...and save you, it could. Because it burns things. - Averus Retruthan

SJC The Palace of Jabba the Hutt - Map Pack
being masterpieces of mapping design. Yes there are mappers that are technically more skilled with the fancy aspects of mapping like ridiculously complex scripting and the like, but Sith J has been here right from the start, the granddaddy of em all and he has released may maps over that time. So, let's have a look at his latest creation; Jabba's Crib! As I said above, this map comes in both Daytime and Sunset versions, each with a different mood and atmosphere. Personally my favourite is the daytime version, primarily because it obviously looks and feels like the more traditional Tatooine map. There are a few small issues with the sunset version though, but I will come to those later. This map is pretty huge, it features a large outdoors area among the dunes infront of the palace entrance and the interior of the palace itself, which is an incredible maze like structure. Walking among the dunes outside was highly entertaining, especially for me as I absolutely love a good outdoors map. You should watch out for the Sand People though, as they are, as usual, in a foul mood (though who wouldn't be with that lumpy mask glued to your face for your entire life?). This is one of those little features which really adds to a map, just that little extra something that isn't really necessary, buts adds that extra depth. Wander around a little more and you will stumble upon the Sarlacc pit, although hopefully not too literally eh? :P I must admit I would have liked to see a little more movement out of the Sarlacc's tentacles (which are flat transparent textures rather than being three dimensional), which I am guessing some adjustment in the shader for the tentacle texture could do. Making the image a sprite as well (if it is possible to have a vertex deforming sprite image) may have been a good idea, since the tentacles are flat textures, as you move around them they disappear momentarily. For those who don't know what a sprite texture is, a sprite texture always faces you no matter where you are even though they are just flat textures. Moving on, you will also come across the ribcage of some once huge beast and nearby you will also find an archway, which looks impressively similar to the ones from the original Ralph McQuarrie concept art. The roof of this archway and also of the palace itself has a fantastic shader on it, which gives it a purply metallic shine. Just ahead of this archway is one of the entrances to Jabba's Palace, this one running underground. The main entrance of course is right at the front, and that famous door which R2 and 3PO stand before at the beginning of Return of the Jedi looks nicely authentic, right down to the sand piled up in the recesses of the door. Also worth noting is the specular shader on the stucco like walls of the palace, which when viewed from a certain angle gives the walls a nice sheen in the sunlight. Inside the palace is huge, and maze like, it is very easy to actually get lost, there are just sop many rooms, corridors and levels! I have a feeling quite a bit of the inside layout is based on the 'Inside the Worlds of Star Wars' location cross section book, which itself has a very nicely detailed illustration of the innards of Jabba's Palace. For those of you who like feeding your defeated enemies to a Rancor... yes the Rancor pit is here, complete with Rancor. ;) The texturing throughout the map is excellent as always, accurate too, even all the little patterns on the borders look accurate to all the reference pictures I could find, so a big thumbs up there! During your wanderings through the palace you may also occasionally come across a B'omarr monk, although unfortunately these are only map objects and so don't do anything other than add a little more atmosphere to the place. Personally I think it would be cool if someone could make a B'omarr monk NPC model, since having a few of the disembodied brains-in-jars-with-legs wandering around would be very cool indeed! To be honest there is so much inside the palace to see that I could write several pages about it, but then again that would spoil the adventure of exploring the map for you guys wouldn't it? With a map like this that is both huge and great to look at, exploring is a big part of it! ;) Now I said earlier that there are two versions of this map, Daytime and Sunset, the daytime being my favourite mainly because it is traditional Tatooine. However I also said that there were a few issues with the sunset version, and now I shall elaborate. Basically my main gripe with this version is that the insides of the palace are just [i]too dark[/i]! Its difficult to see all the great detail that went into the interior of the map, and the lights just don't seem to light up the interiors as much as they should do. The outside area isn't too bad though, although there are a few rather dark spots in the shadows. The sunset skybox, with the twin suns setting in the distance, is one of the most amazing skyboxes I have ever seen and is quite beautiful. Overall this is a fantastic map and I am once again glad to see Sith J Cull return to us with a new creation! I do think the lighting in the sunset version could have been tweaked a little more to make the light levels more comfortable, but you can always turn your gamma up a bit higher ingame if you have to. Keep up the excellent work Sith J, the community really appreciates that talented mappers still stick around and produce amazing work like this, even after all these many years. I look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve for us next! :D [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA ~Nozyspy~ [b][Edit][/b] Shockingly, I forgot to mention that you should look out for Han in carbonite, because... well it isn't Han.

Dagger of Time + Prince of Persia T2T HUD
already know by now. :P And yes, this dagger is indeed very glowy! Another fine mod from AshuraDX, both the modelling and skinning is excellent here. Although I must say the glow is a little strong to be honest and that rather obscures the nice texture detailing that is to be found on the blade itself. Glowy things are always nice though, so that isn't so much of a problem. ;) Also included in the .zip file is a wallpaper for use on your desktop, should you be a fan of the Price of Persia franchise or Ashura's mod's, or maybe both! Another cool feature is that this isn't just a weapon mod, this also includes a HUD mod, which changes the games HUD to something more akin to the one in Price of Persia. I especially liked the way that the little image that denotes saber style changed from a dagger for blue, an axe for yellow and a mace for red style, quite fitting comparisons! All in all this is a very nice mod here, the Dagger of Time is an excellent piece of work in itself with some impressive detailing and after seeing this on the forums as a Work In Progress, I am glad to see it completed and released! The HUD mod is also something pretty unique, I have never seen a HUD like this one in JKA before and this rounds the mod off nicely. Prince of Persia fans rejoice, because I have a feeling you will love this mod! Keep up the good work AshuraDX! [b]New Model:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]New Effects:[/b] No ~Nozyspy~

Oh,I almost forgot;The demp is now an E-11! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/quote] I don't like to quote the author much but sometimes I have to, because otherwise I would be sitting at my computer FOREVER typing up all the small things that have been done in this mod. I'll give you an overview, however. - Most characters now dress darker, implying a theme of darkness - Makes NPCs stronger - Contains new sabers - Several weapons and their effects have been switched out - Changes load screens to a Halloween color scheme It is indeed pretty well done for a mod, not just a couple of reskins, but new weapons and effects also. The author has achieved what he set out to do in the first place, and this mod serves its purpose. Keep in mind that it is only for Singeplayer. Let me repeat, it does NOT work in multiplayer. Except for the sabers. They work in Multiplayer. Enjoy. ~Authuran

Eve of Redemption
is, but I have several guesses. I probably missed something, so don't mind me. In this mod, you play as a reborn. You are out to get revenge and also to make a place for yourself in the galaxy, neither of which can be done at the same time. The plot wasn't bad, actually - I expected a bit less at first. The visuals are well done - in fact, I saw several things that just took the cake. First off, the atmosphere in the sewer system was something I have never seen in JA before. Second, the skybox on the coruscant map enticed me so much that I literally fell off the balcony admiring it. Great work! The cutscenes were well-done. The voices are somewhat quiet, but they are there. For non-professional material, they are actually high quality. I admit, I was impressed by the voice of the main character and the imperial officer. No horrible artifacts, no clipping, and good pronounciation. Good work here as well. The [i]only[/i] gripe I have is that the game was short. Very short. Now, I do understand that a [i]lot[/i] of work went into this, and I am very appreciative of what has been given - it's one of the best single player mods, to be sure. If there is ever a future version, though, it would certainly be nice to see another level, There you have it.

Star Wars Movie Duels
admitting powerful opposing forces. This mod is dedicated solely for Single Player purposes, built for those waves upon waves of masses who want to jump in on the key critical prequel battles. Yes, that's right, prequel battles only. Rather despairing for those of us who would have wanted to take on the beastly form of Vader that isn't a total pansy boy. However, I digress; ONWARD TO THE BEEF =_=! First off, it's time to point the bony finger at the technical issues. First off, practically in every campaign sequence, there's a bit of a saber issue: If you cycle to one particular blue stance, whose name evades me, it locks up your stance cycle choices, pretty much =_=. This may make it a little difficult to fight in some already difficult fights =_=+ A small issue with the hud seems to be that the right saber indicator's "MD" is backwards, but that's easily ignored. One final bug to mention: Quicksaving is not exactly a good thing to do for immersion purposes. Why? Well, when it loads, the model you're playing as will usually screw up unmercifully. Worst instance being in Dooku's. Trust me =_= Now then, for the actual synopsis and destructive force of this mod. First off, know that this mod is actually presents you with a number of well-scripted and pretty well choreographed battle sequences, complete with clips from the actual movies. The scenes vary in quality and length, depending on what player you play as. That's right, you have the CHOICE to pick between one party over the other. Which character you play will change the scenario to a varying degree. Each scenario contains a bonus mission that you can use to mix things up with >_>! Behold, the options available to you. Each mission has an Easy, Medium, and Hard setting, which you can view how they affect your battle. For the sake of brevity, I will be referring to the campaign sequences broadly, so as not to spoil the fun, and save my wrists =_= [b]Episode I[/b] [i]Outskirts of Tatooine -[/i]This is a decent recreation of the battle between Maul and Qui Gon out in the desert. This one is a little different in the fact that you'll not actually engage your quarry immediately. In both Maul and Qui-Gon's case, you have to go through a varying amount of Tuskens. Qui-gon sadly has to tote a kid along, albeit he's not much of a liability. Personally, I found this battle to be a little lopsided in difficulty =_,= if you don't play fair. For kicks, I decided to fight Qui-gon with Maul on his trademark speeder. Suffice to say, it was quite amusing to watch him perish. Qui-gon actually got the short end of the stick, because he doesn't have many force powers to defend with. Suffice to say, the bonus mission was a rather amusing twist. [b]Episode II[/b] [i]Encounter with Count Dooku -[/i]Probably one of the best in the bunch next to the Battle of the Heroes campaign that will be explained shortly. This battle is a relatively accurate battle recreation of the final Episode II lightsaber battle between Anakin, Obiwan, and Yoda, as they take on the malevolently awesome Christopher Lee.....you know him as Count Dooku =_=. Anyway, the only oddity I noticed was some of the lousy repetitive combat action in the cinematic sequences. Otherwise, it's near gold, in terms of accuracy. You'll not be disappointed, except perhaps in the bonus mission, I suppose. Didn't feel very inspired, but I digress. Allow me to preface by saying that Episode III was sadly the most fleshed out one. This is understandable, seeing as there were more battles, but something tells me more could have been added to the other two (bare minimum being Duel of the Fates.) [b]Episode III[/b] [i]Rescue Over Coruscant -[/i]The classic battle aboard the invisible hand. A well-scripted and effectively used scene. At this point, there wasn't much worth noting other than the hefty length: be prepared for some serious hardship when in combat, no matter what side you're on. The bonus mission is an interesting new spin on what could have occurred aboard the Invisible Hand. You would be wise to take a look. Short as it is, it's still amusing to think about. [i]Engaging General Grievous -[/i] To preface, yes, you will be going up against all four of Grievous's arms =_,= fear them well, or use them well. This battle I found to be rather amusing, particularly in scripting, as there were some interesting little surprises once the battle got underway =_=. Mid-battle cutscene sequences felt a little dry, but fine otherwise. My favorite sequence had to be the final electrostaff combat scene between the two. Nothing more amusing than going staff to staff =_,= unless of course, Grievous feels like taking potshots upon ye. Bonus mission is okay, albeit not great. [i]Battle of Heroes -[/i]Yes, the ones you EP3 fanchildren have been waiting for =_= *sighs* Suffice to say, this one was probably the most epic, both in scripting, mapping, and cinematics. This battle was pretty much the most impressive, and it took massive works. A rather impressive feat that I noted in the second half of the battle, whilst on the sinking lava machinery, there are bits of ash and lava in the air that hiss against your saber. A nice touch =_,= This one I noted had actual very large differing outcomes, depending on what character you fought as. Whilst playing as Obi Wan gave you the canon ending, an Anakin victory had you...well =_= I'll just let you fight for that. Bonus mission added an odd possibility to the mix of who could attack Anakin. I got exhausted and didn't play through it all, so you will have to find out what happens =_,= Done with all that? Well then, try out the CHALLENGE MODE! Yes =_= a ladder-esque combat sequence in which you can choose what character you fight as, and engage in a series of battles versus different characters, some of which you don't normally see fight =_=. Well, this has all been fun and all, but I've finally defeated the bulk of this mod's content =_= not literally, as midway, I decided to enable the convenient "god mode" button to help speed up the process, rather than get slain time and time again. This mod is quite challenging, and will probably give you great pride in defeating everything. I can safely say that the large file size is worth the epic battles you will have =_,=. BANDWIDTH TO ALL, FAR AND WIDE, OR ELSE I WILL REND YOUR SPINE ASUNDER FOR MAKING ME TYPE ALL THIS CRAP IN VAIN =_= - Averus Retruthan

Hexes Ghetto 2 JK3
still has an awesome feel and it was fun exploring the new rooms. Here's my original review: [quote]Generally when I open up a mod or a map and take a look at it in JA, I always manage to find something that the map or mod reminds me of. In this case, that opening scene of the film "Blade Runner" with the noodle bar man and Harrison Ford. Maybe a little bit of Tokyo in here as well, crossed with a bit of Coruscant....ANYWHO, the review! Ive chosen to re-review this from the previous review of the JK2 version, mainly because I have quite a lot to say about this map. I really like some of the features, lots of nice pretty lights, moving screens, gives it that Coruscant/Blade Runner feel which I really do take interest in. Definitely the main city is my favourite part of the map. The snipe wars and throwing people off that top balcony...I could have such a blast, and I'm sure you will to. The main area leads you off to several different places of the map, each for a different purpose I presume. Many areas for holding duels in, and the architecture is top quality in almost every place of the map. The textures give this map a really nice feel as well, the variation is great and the quality is also good. All the rooms are decent sizes, and have a unique look and feel about them. Again perfect for mass FFA and merc wars, but I could also see some very nice RP's happening here as well. That's what I like about the map, it has the potential to be used for other activities such as RP, and is not limited to one type of fun. A suggestion for a V2 though, put a bar outside, then I can recreate that "Blade Runner" scene Roll Eyes (sarcastic). One thing that really put me off though, was the choice of music. Now I'm more of a Metal head/old school rock fan, so techno Star Wars isn't really my thing, but hey, I'm sure others will like it. I don't think there's any difference between the JK2 version and this one, I checked the screenshots of the JK2 version and I'm pretty sure its the same map. Author states there's seven secrets all together, so lots of time for exploring! I like this map, I suggest giving this a download if your a futuristic/Star Wars/Blade Runner fan, you wont be disappointed. -|Sho'Hen|-[/quote] Whats new in this version? well Hexes has added a load more things to check out room wise. There's a maze, a pit lava duel room and other new rooms for exploration. As far as I could tell, all the new places are secrets. I no-clipped the map to find them so I cant point you in the right direction I'm afraid!:D A couple of original rooms now have npc support in them so you can spawn until your heart is content. If you liked the first version, you'll love this one! Give it a download! -|Jorka Sho'Hen|-

Clone Wars Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos (with SP support)
so I am told), and has new shaders and sounds, bot support, and npc support! As far as I can tell these skins have been completely redone. While the skins don’t look too bad, they look…raw….like I can really see the blurring. But then again, I’m looking at it close-up in modview. (Yes, I did look at the skins in the game) Anyways, I can see most of the lines that some of the skinning was blended from, but then, there’s always SOME of those lines left. I must say that it would be mean to nit-pick on those little things, so I’ll just say make the skin more defined. Now that was for the Aayla skin. Onto the Quinlan Vos skin! As with the Aayla skin, some of the things look kind of blurred, but not too blurred so that you don’t know what it is, especially from a distance. Which is where the skins will be viewed: from a distance. So the blurring doesn’t really matter since you’ll be able to see it all just fine from in game. As I said before, these do have new shaders, so they’ll look pretty nice. Bot Support: Yes Team Support: Yes Npc Support: Yes New Sounds: Yes ~Zach

Serra Keto with Sounds
be on JK3Files, so that\'s an added bonus! I\'m hoping the author of the sounds doesn\'t mind that I added him [i]and[/i] Mars as the author. Since this model isn\'t yet up on JK3Files, I feel the need to critique it as well. My first impression of it is that she is quite stocky. It doesn\'t seem to look that way in-game, but in ModView she looks a bit heavy-set. The skin itself seems rather good, except in a few areas, and despite the proportions of the model I like it well enough, and may actually keep it. Now for the sounds, added by Kurt Libengood. He says he ripped them from the Episode III game. Now I don\'t want to know any more about that, because odds are it\'s not legal, but a few sounds never hurt anybody (nor made anyone not buy a game - that\'s the point of a EULA, right?) so I\'m going to let them slide. They seem to fit the model, and as I have no idea who Serra Keto is I can\'t comment on it any more than that. I [i]can[/i] say there was a particular taunt I absolutely adore... \"They\'re right, the dark side [i]does[/i] make you ugly.\" Made me laugh quite hard :p So for a model that had no original sounds, we now have some.

Jurancor Park
buttons if I had been playing alone. :P If these screenshots look familiar at all and you have seen Jurassic Park, then Sith-J-Cull has done his job. His accuracy is astounding. But he mixes it up a bit here and there to make sure the map has good gameplay. This is definitely one of those that combines decent areas for dueling, FFAing, RPGing and areas to explore. From the helipad, I cautiously entered the park through the large metal gate. (If only the fence was really electrified.) The enormous wooden gates welcomed me and one of the first things I saw was Sith-J's Restaurant. Amusing. :) And then I saw the Rancors. *gulp* Now, I admit I did explore the map before I got the tour from James, and so when I first saw the Rancor, I wasn't sure if a fence was going to spontaneously break and a Rancor come charging at me. So I ran through pretty quickly and touched NOTHING that had those yellow and black striped warning tape near it. But when I was with James, he made me push 'em. I then quickly climbed a tree or building to get out of the way of the hungry Rancors and Wampas. :P There are some custom swoops included for this map. The review and file for those to follow this. Weapon placement was done well. Oh yeah, those barrels are like, fun to play with. :) You'll find tunnels all around the map that'll take you to other parts of the map. Great for getting away from a Rancor or for just easily exploring - since this map is so big. The details in this map are impressive and here's a good example - go into the museum/center thingy. Pretty incredible from the things he included, the windows and images, fire extinguisher and even the little mosquito DNA movie and ride. The tour even includes the hatchery and it's just amazing. I think my favorite little detail has to be the fossilized walls. And InGen written in little places here and there. There's a lot more in this map that I didn't even mention or show screenhots of.

Episode III - Mustafar Duel/FFA
don't know what the rumours are for the final movie of the trilogy. Apparently it involves lava. James never fails to impress me with his maps. Mustafar is no exception. You did surprise me, James, by making this a duel map. You never do duel maps! And frankly, I don't see this as a duel map at all. It's clearly FFA. The weapon placement is great and there are lots of weapons. There are places where you'll need to press buttons, use force or your saber to get to where you need to go. I love how interactive the map is. And it's just gorgeous. Unfortunately, there are some FPS issues when you step out and see the incredible scene of the lava pits, volcanoes and the pad above. Now let me describe this map in order of screenshots. When I first entered the map, I spawned in this room and it wasn't exactly all that great looking, though I love those doors. I saw this panel over by the window that looks out and I love to press buttons, so I did. And look what happened. :) That would be fun to play with. I like how James incorporated the "natural" surroundings with the building. It feels like this was built in the side of a mountain. The pit over there is inviting for those of us who use grip and want to toss someone down into the lava. :D And I just have to say that I LOVE the windows in here. That weathered look is great. Then I stepped outside and my FPS plummeted. ;) But that's okay. This looks amazing! The terrain is uneven and beautiful. The structure in the center has a few interesting things going on with it and then when you get to the top, things just keep getting more interesting. There's a room to the side where you'll need to figure out (it's easy) how to get inside. Press a button inside and voila! Now anyone dueling on that pad will be electructed! Fun! I thought that was the end of the map, but then I discovered that there was a bridge to another area. I followed that and went through a few rooms 'til I came out on the other side of the volcano. I followed the catwalk until I came to boxes that were blocking the path. Took care of those, and almost fell, but managed to stay on and found my way into that one corridor with the red grating on the bottom.

Olts Male & Olts Female
it\'s nice to see someone add to that selection menu. Especially when they add a whole new character altogether. This is the Olts Male. OLTS is a clan, and Lord Vili is the author of this wonderful addition to our site. Included are three new heads, seven torsos and four legs. I didn\'t show every possible combination here, of course, but you get the idea. All of the skins look great and you have several colors to choose from. The detail on the heads is fabulous, though none of the options really look very Jedi to me. Every choice here has a dark, Sith feel to it. There are no new sounds, but with everything else that the author has included here, I\'m not in the least disappointed. If you\'re looking for more variety and you like that Dark Side look, definitely download this file. Great work, Lord Vili! I can\'t wait to see what else you send us![/quote] Lord Vili strikes again! First of all, go ahead and toss your old OLTS file into the recycle bin. This skin pack has both the male and female OLTS races. There have been several additions to the male race so now there is a total of 11 heads, 11 torsos and 7 legs to choose from. The female OLTS race has a mere 3 heads, 5 torsos and 3 legs. But it still gives us more options, so that\'s always a good thing. Have fun playing with the combinations of these heads, torsos and legs by Lord Vili. And once again, I can\'t wait to see what you\'ll make next. :D ~AmosMagee

I Was A Teenage Jedi
Mara Jade (or a reskin of her anyway), Darth Maul (and some reskins of Maul), Kit Fisto (the Nautolan) and other familiar models and skins from JK2. This is not much more than a replacement mod. And you all know how I feel about those. :P The other things besides replacing models and skins that I noticed here was the ability to use dual sabers instead of one, without using cheats and you can choose a red saber. *shrug* What I like most about this mod is the name of it. I\'m sorry, but it\'s just a replacement mod that had some textures/skins missing here and there and a few errors scattered about. Though this may be of value to those who want to play through the single player JA game using a model or skin from JK2. ~AmosMagee

Ingame Character and Saber Menu
would not have made it under normal circumstances, it has been removed. Apologies to both Awakibiji and Master Ibonek.[/i][/b] Amazingly enough though, it would appear that this version of the in game menus will make up for this grievous error. Why? Well first off, a brief recap on this mod's function: This mod allows you to evoke the player creation menu and saber creation menu while playing single-player. A very nice function, if not slightly cheating. The previous mod only allowed you to switch a new model and a single saber model and color, and you had to activate a separate button to change it. This version, however: - Fixed the saber menu so you can evoke duals and staff - You may now choose the red saber color for your weapon. - The changes are automatically complete upon exiting the menu. This is definitely an improvement, but there are a lot of issues that crop up if you abuse this menu too much. For example, if you change from staff to single, you still have the staff stance in your repertoire of styles. If you change to ANYTHING while possessing dualies, you will still retain the second saber. This can result in you possessing both a staff and a single, which neat as it sounds, makes your animation incredibly buggy, since the games' trying to figure out which set to use...and failing. However, if used properly, this menu is quite the asset. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. GET IT OR SIT ON IT. - Averus Retruthan

Darth Malak's Lightsaber Hilt
THEN, ANOTHER FILE CAME IN! This time it's Malak's hilt, apparently known as "Malignant" (BOOOOO >_> [b]*hurls an ear of corn at whoever named that hilt*[/b]) and this time, it's not so humble and plain: Hilt carved into a double-knotted pommel, a shaft flecked with gold, and a twin pronged emitter guard to effectively so the galaxy can see this guy liked him some fancy. So, another comparison shot for us, and...well, honestly, it looks like he's hit every detail, and even made the hilt look far more polished than in the picture. Well played, Templar =_> No graphical errors or defects as far as I can see, so once again, another potent submission by master SimonKTemplar, and a worthy addition to any KOTOR or saber enthusiast's collection. - Averus Retruthan

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
at the time I wanted to. Anyway, here's an update to the recently submitted Power Rangers pack. As far as I can tell, there aren't too many differences, so to begin with, here's the previous version's review: [quote]Well, well...a subject I happen to be an expert on. *adjusts glasses* Just kidding. Surely all of you remember this show from when you were a kid. The one show you just couldn't miss was Power Rangers. If you missed even the theme song, it was the end of the world for you. The red rangers has already made his way into JA, thanks to Inyri Forge. Now, TPK is trying to take it to another level - adding the rest of the rangers. On the surface, everything looks okay. The taunts have all been replaced by each ranger yelling the name of their zord. The uniforms are appropriately colored (probably wasn't very hard to do, but still, it was done) and the green ranger has been given the dragonshield. There are also variations of the red and black rangers with the dragonshield, but I didn't get the red ranger version to work. There were some things that were missing and some other things that could definitely use improvement, though. The biggest and most blaring problem is that red ranger is a male. Why is this important? Well...pink ranger and yellow ranger are females. Since this is a reskin of the red ranger and not a new model, uh...well, I'll put it this way: females that look like males aren't highly attractive these days. Besides, they need the miniskirt things added as well, they just don't look like pink and yellow rangers without them. Now, there was one other bigtime bug: the dragonshield is added as a one-sided object, meaning you can see right through the opposite side of it. If you're looking from the front, you can see through the back of it as if it doesn't exist. If I'm not mistaken, that can easily be fixed with a shader modification. One last thing is lacking...where's the white ranger?! I know Tommy is shown here as the green ranger, but as you may recall, there was an episode involving a duplicate green ranger who set out to battle the real Tommy. So yes, they did coexist. Don't ask how I still remember that. So, aside from that...I'd say this needs the blaring gender bender problem fixed and the white ranger added. It's just a shame that doing so will require a new model. Aside from that, it's a good starter. Finish it off, you're halfway there! New sounds: Yes Team support: No Bot support: No NPC Support: No ~Dretzel[/quote] The author states that the dragonshield has been fixed, but as far as I can tell, it is still viewed as a one sided object. The white ranger is still missing from the pack as well. Apparently the arm textures in the red and black dragonshield skins, but as I have not downloaded the previous version, nor do I intend to, I cannot confirm this. Those two skins do work properly ingame, though. Apparently the 'Dragon Dagger' on the black skin has been fixed as well, but I honestly can't see a difference when looking at the previous version's screenshot of that skin. Most of the rangers call out the name of their zord still, but the red and green ones do not. I'm not too fond of the green taunt, though, and the rest of them seem a bit too quiet. So yeah, the only real differences I can tell right now (judging from the previous review) are the sounds, and the red and black dragonshield skins working properly. Not a whole lot, sure, but it's an update anyway! Give it a download if you like it! New sounds: Yes Team support: No Bot support: No NPC Support: No

Ahsoka Tano's lightsaber hilt
one, is Ahsoka Tano's lightsaber hilt. Which is pretty obvious ;). We get the backhanded version, and the regular version. Let me chop some bits from Nozy's v1 review: [quote]First off lets have a look at the model itself, which I would say is pretty accurate. However it is not 100% accurate, at least not to the reference pictures I was able to find on the net. The little things that stick out at the top should be flat, not round. The main difference though is the pommel of the hilt, which shouldn�t curve in again at the end, at least on one version of the hilt. Oddly there appears to be two different versions, each with a slightly different shape. These are only small differences however, and overall I would say that this model is about 95% accurate to the actual hilt (one of the versions anyway). The model itself is well made, and the texturing is also good, although they are fairly simple. Its nice to see that the author included normal and back handed variants here, allowing players to choose which version that would like. However, there is a slight issue here; the author has included a .cfg file which he says needs to replace the models/players/humanoid/animation.cfg for the back-handed animations to work properly. However I couldn�t actually find this file and even if I had, I am a little worried about replacing base JKA files like that. If you do I would definitely recommend backing up the original![/quote] EDIT: Mistake on my part, this file does not need you to replace the humanoid .cfg anymore, so that is definitely an improvement for the lazy like me :) [quote]As far as improvements go, all I would suggest is working a little more on the textures, maybe putting a little more detail into them, since they look a little flat. Perhaps a brushed aluminium texture would look cool?[/quote] He has also replaced the dull gray shiny texture with a much more nice chrome, reflective one. Enjoy =P. ~Authuran

Super Heroes Skin Pack
Warrior Shadow Trooper - Flying Man (Author's own design) Jedi - Engima Now, onto the reviews. [b]Mr. Freeze[/b] - I think I could say what has been done here - the head has been desaturated and the eye colour has been changed to red. The torso down has had the colour turned to blue and the saturation turned up, which I am guessing is why the belt has all those multi-coloured pixels. No new sounds. Mr.Freeze = Blue, Rosh = Blue. Works, I guess. [b]The Green Warrior[/b] - Probably the one I thought looked the best - as the author put it [quote]Kyle Katarn in a new super hero role.[/quote] His torso down have been altered - All black with a green belt, a green shoulder pad and a few bits of green here and there. I thought it looked pretty good... until I saw the two letters GW (green warrior) printed on the back of his torso. This ruined it in my opinion, but some of you others may like it, I don't know. No new sounds. [b]Flying Man - Default :[/b] Shadow Trooper with a lot of green sections around him and a full body shader. I thought it looked okay.. until I looked at the front and saw RTA printed above his belt in different colours. I don't even know what that stands for xD [b]Red:[/b] EVIL FLYING MAN o_O. Same as above but where it was green it is now red and there is a blue splodge on his back. [b]Blue:[/b] AQUA FLYING MAN. ... Same as Default Flying Man but his armour is a light blue water colour *hence the name* and RTA printed above his belt in white letters. He also has a green symbol behind his back. No New sounds. (The symbols and the design of Flying Man remind me of LightSource's Vampire Batman) [b]Enigma (Batman's Villain):[/b] I couldn't find any images of him so I had to rely on my poor memory of him from a film... There's not much to say about this skin; Almost-Solid green overalls with a lot of black question marks around his clothes, red hair, and green markings around his eyes. [b]Enigma Red:[/b] Same as above but with a red torso and orange trousers. [b]Enigma Blue:[/b] Same as default but with blue overalls. No new sounds.

Complete Species Pack
section to increase the ability to mix and match clothing options. However, I noted two major things: - Most models don't have the label applied to them. - Some of the options are mixed up Better yet, this has only two pk3s, so you can only customize certain ones because the engine doesn't support all the models. So, might be a little conflict if you only use conflicting halves. HOWEVER, it is possible to simply put both in and try and figure out what ones are what XD. Honestly, m'lady, I don't think it was necessary to put EVERY SINGLE MODEL into the species section, but rather certain ones with custom additions that aren't easily reachable would have sufficed. However, I'd rather not argue against this idea given that it seemed insane in the first place O_o. Oh well. Maybe it may appeal to you masses.

Scerendo\'s Shadow Trooper
are the people who deserve praise, rather than the people who pump out flawed work but get away with it because of the \"fanboy\" instinct. One word popped into my head when I saw this skin: \"nanotechnology\". That\'s precisely the effect you get, too. It looks good, even without dynamic glow. Oh, yeah, for those not aware of the visual nanotechnology effects, there\'s backstory to it, but that\'s hardly relevant. Bottom line is, when a nanotech-enhanced human is hurt (usually by gunshots), a pulsating energy pattern appears over them. This effect has been used in many games, but the closest to this skin\'s style is the nanotechnology in [i]Red Faction II[/i]. I\'m not sure the author was aiming for a nanotech look, but that\'s certainly the closest description I can think of. But, that\'s enough backstory. Let\'s look at the skin. The basic skin is a complete reskin of the Shadowtrooper. Everything has changed, although you can barely make out the original skin\'s shape. The design is now more of a space-age style than the plastic Star Wars junk Raven Software threw out. The only thing that really remains is the gem, but even that looks much classier, as well as the unit holding it. The worn-down effect looks great. I can\'t really describe much of it, there aren\'t enough words in my vocab. I am, however, reminded of Nod Soldiers, from [i]C&C Tiberian Sun[/i] and [i]C&C Renegade[/i]. But now we get on to the best bit. The nano effect. Available in blue, red, green and cyan, the effect consists of a pattern of glowing lines and grids across the skin. Each color is perfectly matched to it\'s appropriate saber blade color, although orange and purple are missing. I noticed one error with the glows, which I hope has been fixed - a few parts on the cyan version is still red. I don\'t need to say much else. Quality tends to speak for itself, and this file proves it to be true. Scerendo has taken the time to go over the project, hasn\'t rushed it, and made sure every angle was covered. The fact that it looks good is unrelated to the quality factor, but it\'s still a great bonus. It\'s very rare that anything created in the typically weak and outdated Q3 engine can sincerely impress me, but this has. It\'s definitely one for the collection if you\'re a fan of the futuristic style. ~ Kouen [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]NPC Support:[/b] Yes

Shadows of the Empire Escape from Echo Base
different, the mapping styles probably aren't all that different. This map just seems... bland. And I haven't even gotten into the technical problems, of which there are many. Why don't we cover those first? First of all: missing textures. There are quite a few, which you'll notice as you go along. Secondly, z-fighting. Quite a bit of that, as well, in various places. There are also misaligned brushes, holes in the map, and I didn't see a light that had a source [i]anywhere[/i] in the map. Older games didn't worry about light sources, but with a newer engine (in comparison) that ought to be taken into account as a factor. Nobody said you couldn't spruce up an old concept by adding new detail when you have the power. There are quite a few problems that are unrelated to the mapping as well. First of all the music doesn't work, mainly because the author didn't bother to include it in the PK3. As a single-player level it's also a bit difficult to get loaded - you have to load it as a mod, then load it up in the console as well. Having a batch file to do this for us would have been a heck of a lot simpler. Also Force has not been disabled, and you don't play as Dash Rendar (which is kind of a disappointment). This means you're basically a Jedi running around with a blaster on Hoth and no lightsaber. Then, to end off the level... nothing happens. You beat the end guy and you just sit there. You can go back and kill some stormtroopers if you want, because the level won't end itself. Personally for something like this I would have suggested a crew of a few more people, or I would at least suggest the author gains a bit more knowledge about single-player mapping so he can get the level working 100% correctly. Having a SP map come out only half done is really kind of a bummer, especially when it's something as cool as Shadows of the Empire.

JK2 Special Scripts
also be used to load your favorite skins or your custom controls. But, just as with the Force, there is a dark side to scripting. Queen of Noobs has sent us a massive collection of scripts for JK2 that do pretty much anything you want them to. With the press of a key you can do a backstab, you can do the red DFA, the yellow DFA, both at normal speed and at an increased rate. All you need to do to get them working is drop them into base and go into each file and tell it which key you want to use. And when I say each file, I mean all of the 38 files. The cool thing is, because there are so many files you can pick and choose what you want to use. So, after doing all that the hacking and slashing fun begins. While most servers ban the use of such scripts, I’m sure some out there will have no problem with them. So if you’re feeling a little noobish and maybe you need some help racking up some kills this could be the file, or group of files I should say, for you. Just watch where you use them, there’s no need to anger anyone. - Daku

Alora2 SP Fix
always pondered why they'd bother to negate the other Alora model, other than because of the deformation hole in the back. Then again, that didn't stop the cultist from debuting, did it? Anyway, Vemarkis, a newcomer, has taken the initiative and finally fixed the issue, having the Taspir Alora utilize the other, previously unused alora model. It was instantaneously refreshing. IN-STANT-TANE-EE-USS. I checked in SP to ensure it had the intended effect, and everything works perfectly. So little effort, yet such a big difference. Why this hasn't been done publicly before is beyond me, but no more. I'm definitely going to keep this around, as I personally appreciate the change, however minuscule it may seem. Acquire this if you use Alora at all, be it an NPC or if you play SP profusely. - Averus Retruthan

SJC - Naboo Crystal Sanctuary
map which was converted to JKA as 'Pyramid of the Massassi'. Unfortunately though, it appears that we no longer have that map on the site, I don't know why, but it is a shame indeed. However, that famous map has heavily inspired Sith J's latest creation; Naboo Crystal Sanctuary! Anyone who has played on the Pyramid of the Magician/Massassi map will instantly recognise the features that have been inspired by that map. These include the jump pads in various locations, used to catapult you up to a higher level, the canyon like layout, dense foliage and other features. From what I understand, some textures have also been carried over from the original map by Sock, though these mostly appear to be the plant and leaf textures (which would be difficult to make from scratch, believe me, I've tried!). Some of the stone textures were really quite low resolution, which makes me thing that maybe these minor textures also came from the original map. The only other thing that has come over from the original map by Sock is a few sounds, which lend the whole map a nice ambience. That brings me onto the music, which is very unusual indeed. I haven't a clue where it is from, but it seems to combine elements of both the Star Wars themes and some Star Trek themes, oddly. Anywho, the music fits perfectly and nicely fits in with the rest of the audio ambience. Now, onto a rather big and impressive part of the map; the dot2product terrain blending! Dot2product is probably the most complicated way of creating a nice and natural blend of different textures for your terrain, however it is the best looking. Proof that you can learn new tricks no matter how long you have been mapping, Sith J has done an excellent job of using dot2product on this map to create a seamless and natural blend of textures for the varied terrain here. I must say though, despite the excellent job Sith J has done, it still doesn't quite match up to the truly masterful job that Sock did on his original Pyramid of the Magician map. There is some room for improvement as far as making sure all the textures are aligned around some of the rock walls, where the various lumps and bumps tend to through out texture alignment a little. The layout itself is quite complicated, even though this isn't a very large map, which means that you can spend plenty of time exploring and discovering things! Whilst I liked the outdoor areas with the small ruined Naboo style pavilion's and pillars, my favourite area had to be the caves. There is just something about caves in JKA, they are very hard to do right, but if you succeed they really are a great feature to add to a map. Sith J has done a top notch job of making the labyrinthine caves in this map, complete with hanging vines and mushrooms! Lets not forget what the title of the map is though, Naboo [b]Crystal[/b] Sanctuary. Also in the caves and other areas around the map are groups of crystals, which lend the map its name. I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more crystals to be honest, I would have liked to see a cave full of them, like the inside of a [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/787776.stm]giant geode[/url]. Overall this is another very impressive map from Sith J Cull, although I do think there are a few areas that could be worked on and polished up a little more, especially those lower resolution stone textures which don't look too great close up. They are only used in a few places however and not on large areas, so that isn't too much of an issue. I also think it would be cool if the crystals were more 'glowy', not that crystals generally glow, but it just looks cool! ;) Once again this is another excellent release from Sith J, but I do think that the low resolution textures in certain areas let it down a little, apart from that though I highly recommend you download this map, I don't think you will be disappointed! :D [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, TFFA, CTF ~Nozyspy~

Galen Marek (Starkiller)
Using the Jaden model as a base, the creators built off our SP protagonist and shaped him into the protagonist of the much more recent game "The Force Unleashed." Gaze, and behold, but do not become disappointed, for the creators wish to announce that this version is merely a [b]teaser, rather than a full proper release.[/b] As such, you can more than certainly expect a new, more powerful version to compete with DLX's model in the near future, complete with revamped face and new outfit choices, of course. Speaking of which, what outfits are we blessed with? Not much, just the standard "training gear" you often see him in, along with a malevolent Sith Robe of sorts that I never actually beheld before. Quite imposing, indeed =_,=. So, in likeness and appearance, it still has a little ways to go, of course. There are little bits and pieces that the authors are aware need to be fixed which leads me to reiterate the bugs they are aware of: [quote]There are some weighting problems here and there that we hope to fix for future release, face and some other textures aren't finished yet.[/quote] The face is not rigged yet, so expect a cold blank stare for a while until that's fixed =_o there are also a few minor clipping problems with the sith robe version, but this is to be expected. Otherwise, you really can't go too wrong with it. I guess the only problems I have with this model lie within the sound department. Most of them are Jaden, and there's only one sound. This wouldn't really irk me normally, considering the status of the game, but did ya really have to use that taunt over and over again in the sound directory, including in the victory sector? I mean c'mon... I guess the only thing I should probably mention before wrapping this up would be that there's no new extras besides the sounds, but here's hoping the authors will =_= fix that as well.

Sith Council Final
maps pretty closely over the years, being rather impressed with their strong RP value and general amusement. This version, being the final version, is basically a devil's deal in my book. The main term I'd like to emphasize in this review is [i]trade-off.[/i] Whilst there are good aesthetic changes and pretty decent content revamps, these same things could also be reversed into negatives, which is possible, although uncommon, especially in maps. To preface, I'll be tackling this review basically in a room-to-room fashion somewhat, in an effort to help emphasize the changes in the content. [i]Main Lobby/Darth Bar[/i] - The Main room has gotten a rather large overhaul in regards to texture, but in essence, it remains similar to the JedicouncilGC map as it was intended. The doors have been moved and removed as necessary in this revamp. The textures, I must say, aren't a great change. It must attempt a look at being wood, but in the end, they just look like the walls are covered in a very fine fur =_o. These textures plague a large majority of the map, and hurt its visual appeal. The wooden pillars now no longer fit in with the map, alienating themselves from the color scheme. Lighting seems to be much more noticeably unsourced than the last version. I think the only real good changes in my opinion would be the stairs and the use of daises to prelude the exit hall doorway. Darth Bar looks completely...dare I say repulsive? Nay, but it's definitely taken an aesthetic hit. The red furry looking texture has made the bar seem like some sort of cafe for failing abstract artists who think they're unique. The signs have been removed, and the actual bar itself seems realistically unservicable. [i]The "Side Rooms"[/i] - Now we shall branch out into the rooms on either side of the main hall. The "lava pit" has been revamped into an indoor cavernous area of sorts. A bland box of stone, with the worst lava texture I've seen out there. This lava texture is used in pretty much every lava area now, and looks so very ugly without a glow shader or what have you. Moving next door, we approach the armory. Like the main hall, it's received that horrible furry red texture. The appeasing trade off was the use of cubbies to store the weapon spawns. Otherwise, unappeasing. On the other balcony lies the Dojo from V2. No changes there(screenshot ) Moving down to the first floor, underneath the lava pit room, we find the acid pit room. Honestly, the new acid texture makes it look like...snot. It also doesn't look very liquid-esque when you look at the texture. Basically the same as the lava pit room now. Across the room, next to the bar, is the library. It was extracted from V2, and looks the same.(screenshot ) Next door is the old interrogation room. It didn't get a very decent revamp. Biggest change I noticed was the torture room's downsize. I was going to flesh this out a little more, but I didn't feel like it =_= [i]The Halls[/i]- The halls are probably the most impressive changes I noticed. The annex as you enter from the main lobby I liked with its sourced red hue. From there you can reach a couple halls. The upper halls are the most interesting, having a triangular architecture, and I find it quite tasteful. The lower basement halls, however, seemed overly broad, and unappealing. It had promise, albeit it was wasted. The biggest disappointment was that the "RP hall" was destroyed, ousting the classroom and cafeteria. [i]Med bay[/i]- Suffice to say, it looked like it was more based roughly on the Jedi's Home JL II map's med bay, although there it was a rough look. Otherwise, it retains the usual bacta tank functions, including the out of order one. [i]Cage Arena[/i]- Probably the best room to overhaul, although it wasn't 100% improved. The room did, however, get completely rebuilt. The arena retains its general shape, but there's no long as much wasted space. The stadium seating is now positioned in the corners of the rooms. The council observation area chairs look very baudy now, with a bright spectrum of colors. Also, the elevator looks very tacky, having a box texture that doesn't blend in with the scheme. [i]Bedrooms[/i] - All the bedrooms have been effectively ravaged, no longer retaining the simple appeal of the others. The size of the rooms have become monstrous, and the number of furnishings don't really compensate. A lot of the rooms contain camera portals of certain areas. Honestly, it feels like more was taken away than added. [i]Basement Areas[/i] - I mentioned the problem with the basement halls. I'll simply attack the rooms. The dungeon was my favorite revamp, having received a nice stone dungeon rehaul. There is now a control center with which to seal off the dungeon cells with a forcefield. There is also a very blatant secret exit route that leads out into the main halls. The council room looks slightly more like a council room in terms of chairs, but otherwise, the room now looks like some sort of angsty artist's creation, with the furry red texture and the odd shaped windows. The pillar room no longer has the battle platform, so now it's just for jumping around and... [i]Outside/Court Room[/i] - Now then =_= the outside has received both good and bad revamps. An aesthetically good revamp definitely was the footbridges and the path leading the the courtroom. The stone door to it could have at least gotten a better texture. The secret door factor was basically ruined with the path. Whilst the waterfall route was a lot better, the super smooth hill just didn't feel very realistic, and the loss of the chasm of death sort of ruined the sithese feel. Ah well.. The courthouse was a much better overhaul, it looks a lot more size appropriate and less oversized. The textures are thankfully quite pleasant, the pit is a lot more ominous. [i]Secrets[/i] - Some secrets are more obvious now, and some aren't. Sadly, some of the secret control areas don't have textures. Not a very good sign. Overall, this map was on a very different, and arguably lower, level than with its predecessor. Granted, this could be expected by conservative fans, but even from an objective point of view, viewing it as a stand alone, it doesn't quite earn the cigar. Granted, it's still [b]Good,[/b] but it could have been better. A shame this is the final version of the map, as it doesn't seem to leave behind the best legacy. My words mean nothing to many. SUBMIT BANDWIDTH, VIEW, AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. For some, it could still be a grand improvement. For myself, on the other hand, it leaves more to be desired.

Mos Eisley Backstreets - Night
different feel to it. I won\'t cover the same points I mentioned in the review for the day version, so I recommend reading that review as well to get a real feel for what the map contains. Lighting wasn\'t as important to mention with the day-time version, but here the lighting will either make or break the map. Made! Lighting here is great and really sets the mood, along with the much softer, slower-paced, and most importantly [i]peaceful[/i] music. It\'s easy to tell right away that just because it\'s night time doesn\'t mean the map\'s going to be pitch black. With three moons, a lot of moonlight is thrown across the map, and the combination between darker shadows from buildings and brighter light from the random lights near the building doors really provides good contrast and keeps things looking very realistic. Along with the night version of the map, a new skybox was needed. I\'m a little on the edge on this skybox -- I know Nozyspy worked pretty hard on it, and I gave him advice along the way to improve it which, if I remember correctly, he implemented -- but I think the engine has really failed us here. The whole idea of the skybox is to avoid that very static [i]walled[/i] feeling you\'d get if you just put sky textures on the sides of your map. Despite Nozy\'s best intentions, the three moons unfortunately get warped (stretched or thinned) depending on how you\'re looking. I don\'t really blame that one on him, though, and it hasn\'t reduced my enjoyment of the map significantly in any way. Overall a wonderful variation on the orginal map -- more maps should provide such added bonuses!

there is one problem with it.

However I think most of the people who would download this probably already have the original, so it may not be much of a problem.[/quote]The sound issue has been corrected so you won\'t be the amazing silent clone anymore.

Jedi Pyramid 2
with the city area. The actual city area I am torn. Aspects of the buildings look very well done such as some of the texturing and the general layout. There are a couple entrances to other areas out there, afew being a small auditorium, a bar of sorts that looks really nice, and an elevator. Now, once you take the elevator to the top, it takes you to an office type room (see pics below). My complaint I guess would be the general lack of detail in the city, along with the abrupt edges of the city that just stop.\" - From first version\'s review. The rest of the review will be different due to the changes the author has made. Now, the general layout of this map remains the same. Upon entering the pyramid, you find yourself in a lobby area once again meeting c3po. From here, there are three different directions you can take. One leads to areas of specialized rooms I think each designed for specific people. Another direction will take you to a form of jedi quarters divided into blue and green sides. The final direction leads you to a hangar type room connected to a medical lab. The difference\'s in the two maps, v1 and v2, rest in the areas of both texturing and lighting. While the outside remains unchanged as far as I can tell, the inside of the pyramid has been slightly altered in spots. Some of the rooms in v1 where very bright in reference to colors while in this version, things have been toned down. The quarter\'s hallways, the council room, and the yellow hallway are prime examples of the changes. The council room is probably the most noticeable and is a great improvment in my opinion. The same things I noted in v1 remain though as far as negatives. Some z-fighting still can be seen and in some areas there is a general lack of detail. And, there are still some missing textures(example-c3po room in the corners). Having said this, I liked v1 and I prefer the changes that have been made in v2, Nice improvments. ~LK~

Rcon SE
This mental skill is even more necessary if you run a server with a mod, which adds more commands to the server. Lostingamma has created a program, called Rcon SE, that will allow a person to connect to a server, and control it, as if they were right in there. This could be helpful if you need to make some changes on your server, but don’t have enough time to start up JKA, or you can’t find your CD. This program can even be used a friends house, even if the friend has never installed JKA on his computer. Another great thing, is when you connect to a server, you can see some of the basic settings on your server, right when you see the main part of the program. The name of the server, its mod (if any), version, game type, and more. Then, you can send commands to the server through a text bar. It also has extra buttons for servers that are basejka, or JA+. So, if you forget a command, and you have a basejka or JA+ server, there is a possibility there is a button for it. If your server isn’t running either of these, like if you were running the ForceMod, it will still work, you can submit ForceMod commands through the text bar. You can restart the map and shutdown the server with this program too. There is also a Help System included, for those of you that need help. As a bonus, it comes with an installer, that way you can easily put it on your computer. -Airm

Jango Fett
shaders this time. I must've been too tired to notice em before - they're very well implemented. For a start, it's not your standard TCGen shader, no. These effects are much less noticeable, but still make it look like metal. This way the whole Jango Fett in many battles thing shows through. Scrathed helmets don't shine like brand new do they? It's kinda wierd. You know something's there, and it looks good, but it's hard to pick out what, ya know? The only shader I coud pick out easily was the helmet shader, where the light goes from one side to the other. Nice:) As I said before, the actual skin is obviously a Boba Fett Reskin, nothing you haven't seen before, but it's more impressive than the original. Nice blue armour :) You can also play as him in SP mode if you so desire, makes a nice change. So there's all the nice shaders and stuff, but it doesn't bring something incredibly new and exciting to players looking for a little more 'zing' in their JKA gaming. Some may prefer more original skins, but for fans and people looking for some very nice realism, this is a skin to download :) The sounds (or at least a few of em) are taken from the movie for more realism, and there is Bot and Team Support. I really liked the variants for this :) He also has a variation where he dons a Jetpack which looks perhaps a little too blue, but still well designed. Doesn't work unless you also have a real jetpack on, and then there's Z-Fighting, but not a huge problem. New Sounds: Yes Team Support: Yes Bot Support: Yes ~Szico VII~

that are tired of seeing that beige skin. Vandori added a lot of leather to this reskin as well as a piercing, blue eyes, black hair, new boots and some gold trim. The author says there is one texture problem in the read me and plans to fix in a later version, not very noticeable. This is a very good reskin and the changes aren’t to many or over powering, very simple but very effective. Vandori states that this doesn’t work online, I tested it on a created server and it worked but it didn’t work online. All this skin needs is some new sounds.

Agent Katarn's Dark Forces 2: Kyle Katarn
better idea about how Kyle looks both in-game and in-cutscene. After passing much scrutiny, I can understand why you can't think of where to proceed next, mister Agent. You've pretty much nailed everything you can in terms of detail. There's nothing visual I can really suggest, since the only way to push it further would be to alter the Katarn model, which I'm guessing is not in your to-do list. The only thing I can suggest now is to gun it. Add some JK1 sounds and wrap up this project once and for all, eh? Actually, better idea: Make a replaceable version and a non-replaceable version WITH JK1 sounds, so people have a choice. That should finish things off nicely. Oh, and team skins wouldn't hurt neither. I've done what I can. You wee lads pitch in some suggestions so Agent Katarn can finally give you guys the ultimate piece of Kyle darkness.

I could not, but perhaps I tried not hard enough. Suffice to say, the product by TDuragon was nothing short of a much-needed facelift. Rosh is now much cleaner looking now, both structurally and texturally speaking. Best of all, his clothing has been fit to adapt to the Anakin model we all know so well. The end result is quite effective, really. If we combine that with Mert's Slick Rick addition of team skins to this, and you now have a fully functional replacement for the Rosh Penin model.

Dark Forces II Skin Pack
newer ones for story material. As a tribute to the characters of the classic Dark Forces games, DarthPhae has put together a skin pack including most of the major characters from Dark Forces and Dark Forces II. Most notably, of course, is Kyle Katarn himself, and Jan Ors. Both are in a variety of outfite (especially Kyle). Jerec, Qu-Rahn, Maw, Boc, Sariss and Yun are thrown in as well. I really can't critique each individual skin, since I haven't played all of the games yet. However, I will say this much - the models aren't entirely accurate in all areas. That is to be expected, since this is a skin pack and not a model pack, but it should be mentioned. All but two of the skins had working sounds for me, and there we no other noticeable glitches in-game. The skinning job flowed smoothly from skin to skin. One thing I did notice was that Kyle's pants seem to have been done cheaply with a lot of black paint, but meh, I didn't look too closely since they were the same every time. All extras - sounds, team support, bot support and NPC support are included. Overall, this looks like a good piece of work to me.

to do is take a look at the screenshots and that'll be the first thing you see. They also have a shiny appearance, which I liked. The eyes are Darth Maul style, with bright yellow-red flares in them. Also, instead of publishing version one to this site, the author chose to refine it before the first public release. According to the readme, this is version five. This isn't a common practice, so kudos for going against the flow. The author also stated that this is a continuing project, so there may be more releases in the future. This skin doesn't have any major glitches or bugs that stand out, so that's a good thing. However, for the next release, I would suggest making the clothing not [i]quite[/i] so dark.

Dash Rendar Resurgence
presents us with an enhanced conversion to JKA of a single player campaign mod that he made back in 2003 for JK2. Here is a quick synopsis straight from the readme: [quote] Dash Rendar has been hired to smuggle weapons to a mining colony planning a hostile takeover from a corrupt organization that has been exploiting them. After the reliable weapons supplier fails to meet at the rendezvous point, Dash goes on a search for him at the coordinates of where he last made communication.[/quote] So to start off, lets have a look at the first level, and its good and bad points. [b]Part 1: Investigation and Recovery[/b] [b]Good Bits[/b] Straight away, as soon as you start up this mod, you can tell it is of excellent quality. After the opening scroll, explaining a bit about the story we then get to watch custom made CG cinematic’s, which are very impressive, considering the majority of modders (including me) probably have absolutely no idea how to make a good CG cinematic. Not only were the CG cinematic’s throughout the game impressive, but so were the in-game cut-scenes, which I would say were as good quality as the actual JKA single player cut-scenes. Once the game proper starts, you are put into a huge open map, which is set on a dark, barren and rocky world. Nearby is an enterable version of Dash Rendar’s ship, the [i]Outrider[/i]. Unfortunately though only the main area in the ship is enterable, all the other doors are locked. .If you try to open them you will occasionally get a comment from Dash’s droid sidekick Leebo, such as “The ship is safe with me sir” and We’ll never get paid if you stay here all day”, which I thought were nice touches. There is a long trail that you must travel; through barren canyons and even a short tunnel at one point. The terrain is well done, and if I had to guess, I would say this terrain was made by hand, rather than with a program like EasyGen. If that is the case then this area represents a huge amount of high quality work. Once you have worked your way through the barren canyons, encountering some Imperial Troops along the way, you will eventually find yourself at a large chasm. The only way across is a hovering tram that must be summoned from the other side. Once there you must battle more Stormies and then go through the huge doors into a cargo bay like area. Though the architecture was fairly simple in these areas it was well made and well textured and brought back fond memories of playing through JK2 for the first time. Once inside the main structure you need to find your way to a conference room, which holds your ultimate objective for this level. I won’t say any more on that matter, as I don’t want to spoil the fun! :P The scripting for the level is very well done and I didn’t encounter any bugs when I played through it. It ran smoothly and all the proper events and cinematic’s were triggered at the right time. One thing in particular that I really liked was the way that every now and again, once you had passed certain points, Leebo would comm you, giving you a hint on where to go next. An ingenuitive little game mechanic there! [b]Bad Bits[/b] All in all the level was of very high quality, although there were a few things that I think could have been improved. For one, I think there should have been a bit more detail in the levels – though the architecture was good, there were a lot of flat plain areas. Also, I think some rock models scattered around the canyons would have been good as well, as they seem just a bit too clean and clear for rocky canyons on a barren planet. I think these issues could be put down to the fact that this mod was originally made for JK2, which has a less powerful engine than JKA and thus cant handle as much detail in a map. My major concern though was that the outside area was very dark. After a while wandering around I had to turn um my gamma in the options menu, because I just couldn’t see where I was going properly. I think the ambient lighting in the worldspawn should have been raised a little to make the map a little less dark, especially the canyon areas. That’s just my opinion however, and like I said, a quick change in the gamma settings fixed the issue without much problem. There was only one part of the gameplay that bothered me; getting into the conference room where your final objective is. It took me forever to figure out how I was supposed to get in there! I wont spoil the challenge for you, but I will give you one hint, for the sake of your sanity… try and find destructible crates, they will help you to get into that final room… Now lets move onto the second, and last level of the mod: [b]Part 2: Retribution[/b] [b]Good Bits[/b] This level is [b]much larger[/b] than the first level, and as Mercenary explains in his readme, the gameplay of this level is non-linear, which means that you can complete the multiple objectives in any order you want. This time around, your ultimate objective is to find the missing weapons supplier, another objective includes stopping some experiments that are being conducted on (apparently) frozen people. I think they’re frozen anyway…they look it! Some of the other objectives include blowing up some computer banks, and finding a way to shut off some power generators. This level is much lighter than the previous one, since it now in the daytime, making it easier to find your way around this time! You start off near a landing area with some tall buildings and walkways above you, and a gentle snowfall drifting through the air. As I said, this level is [b]huge[/b], much, much bigger than the first level and the areas are interconnected by many different paths – elevators, corridors, locked doors that need opening – which form somewhat of a maze. Again Leebo will comm you occasionally with information on where to go and what to look for next. There is no point me trying to describe the path to your ultimate objective, because it could be different each time you play, due to the non-linear nature of the level. This is a very interesting and clever gameplay mechanic used by Mercenary here, as it means your game doesn’t have to be the same next time around, you can complete things in a different order if you want. This does lead to some potential issues however, which I will come to a bit later. My favourite areas were probably the TIE fighter hangar and the nearby control room, which reminded me a bit of the Doomgiver levels from JK2. I must say though that those TIE fighter pilots seemed a little too engrossed in whatever they were doing (maybe fixing their ships?) as they didn’t seem to notice me when I walked in. Only when I started shooting at them did they seem to bother moving! :P Another great area is the power core type thing, at the top of which are some nicely scripted walkways that swing down, allowing you to get into the central control panel of the power core. Once again, the level is interspersed with well made cut scenes and some pretty impressive voice acting, especially from Leebo the droid. [b]Bad Bits[/b] As I said above, the non-linear nature of this level is a big advantage, as it allows you to complete the level how you want. However it is at the same time also a disadvantage. Why? Because it is easy to get lost and forget what you were doing. In a linear level, you go from the start to the finish, completing your objectives along the way. You go in a straight line, so to speak (although not literally). Whereas in a non-linear level, if you don’t keep track of where you have been, you can end up going through the same places multiple times trying to find your way around which can take quite a long time and also be rather frustrating. A few other minor issues were that the objectives seemed a little vague at times. One of them is to shut down the two power generating areas. The first one I found easily enough, but it took me a while to figure out where the second one was. I kept trying to blow up two rows of generators in a small room, figuring that since they were near the first power generator you had to destroy, they must be the second ones. But alas they weren’t, and it took me a while to figure out where the second generator was and how to get to it. Lastly there is the instance where you have to find a switch to turn off some shields blocking your path, however I feel the game didn’t give you enough information on what you were looking for – after all there are many switches in the map, how would you know which one to use? Although, that said, in the end it didn’t take me that long to find the switch, as it was in a nearby room. Still though I did panic for a moment, wondering if I had forgotten some switch somewhere within this gigantic map! [b]Conclusion[/b] Overall this is a fantastic single player campaign, which despite the few frustrations, I did thoroughly enjoy. It is a bit of a shame that the story isnt longer, as I would have liked to find out what happens next. But when you remember that Mercenary has done almost all the work here himself - as opposed to the guys at Raven software who had an entire team to create JK2 and JKA’s single player campaigns - you suddenly realise that two levels for one person is a heck of a lot of work. All in all this is a very impressive mod, and I hope to see more work like this from Mercenary in the future! :D I definitely recommend downloading this guys, you won’t be disappointed!

BGMod (Better Graphics for JKA)
claim, as I think they\'ve simply got a higher contrast which makes everything look bumpy and, dare I say, somewhat unrealistic. I guess one positive side effect is that since the textures are all smaller, the game will run better with a lower-quality machine. But then again I never had problems playing the game on an ancient machine with a GeForce 2 graphics card, which was outdated [i]then[/i], so if you\'re running something worse than that you shouldn\'t use this mod -- you should upgrade your system. This mod also changes a lot of the menus and things, so if that would annoy you (blue --> red menus, etc) then you might want to think twice about this. I didn\'t notice a significant increase in game playability either (my FPS was basically the same as it was normally). Frankly with the read-me stated 1 FPS increase between baseJKA and this mod, I don\'t necessarily think it\'s worth the download time unless you like the look better. ~Inyri

The New Revan Dark Weapons
magnificent weapon. Of course I'm not saying the skins on these weapons are bad, I'm just saying they're simple, and that works. The beauty of these places - and hilts - comes from their shaders. With a simply shaded skin, a custom chrome shader goes a long way. That's right. It's not the ordinary Raven chrome shader. Well, actually the shader [i]is[/i] the same, but the environment maps are custom-made to fit the style of the blades better. This produces an excellent chrome effect on the blades and hilts. This pack actually contains something I, until this very moment, thought was not possible to do in JA - a genuine glow. I'm definitely keeping this in my base folder, more to learn as a modeller than to use. Folks, this pack is very well done, both visually and technically. My hat's off to you, Revan. You are a god among mortals. Oh, in case you guys don't feel like reading the read-me (shame on you!) there are twenty-one weapons in this pack, including 4 lightsabers, 11 swords, 4 staves, 1 hammer (geez is it ever big), and one gun (a DEMP replacement). Read the read-me for more information on special weapons included in this pack. ~Inyri

Kensai\'s Hilt Pack
went into these. Here\'s a little more indepth on each saber: [b]Goldenbone:[/b] You can choose either the single saber, or staff saber for this, which is modeled after Darth Maul\'s hilt as seen in Episode 1. Obviously it is gold in color, and it shines like I would a golden saber to. [b]Silverbone:[/b] Sister of the Goldenbone, it is the same hilt, just colored silver. This also comes with the choice of using as a single saber or staff saber. [b]Tataku:[/b] A japanese styled saber staff. Looks like something a samurai would use... very badass looking. [b]Diago:[/b] A reskin of the Plo Koon hilt that is available here on JK2files. Had the rounded, silvery feel to it. [b]Saul:[/b] Modeled for the player Saul, it looks like Luke\'s saber with a few things added where the blade extends from. [b]Immortal:[/b] A plain looking, but gold-colored saber. Pretty simple here. [b]SithSM:[/b] Obviously a saber that is intended for sith use. Looks good, too. [b]Saesee Tiin:[/b] This one has been posted already on jk2files, but the author was given permission to use it in this pack.[/b] Overall, this is a beautiful hilt pack. I\'d highly reccommend downloading and adding these to your collection. ~Lord Griever~

Padme Amidala - Episode II
three different styles. Padme with her cape, Padme without her cape, and a scratched Padme. It also has two different heads for Padme. A clean one and a dirty one, although it\'s hard to tell the difference. This was made for the MovieBattles mod, but that\'s just a side note. This uses SP support so that you can choose the outfit. which is great. I did notice some issues with the sounds, where it would start a Padme quote but would cut off at the very end. It was disconcerting, to say the least. I did find a wierd issue with the chest, where it would be dark on top and light on the bottom. I don\'t know if that\'s an issue with the shader or not, but it just looks unnatural. I didn\'t really quite catch many bugs, but thankfully the author did. Here is what was found: [quote]The only bugs that I have caught, were: Fanny-pack clipping through the cape when running with a weapon, Weapon tags on the left hand were messed up. So, a weapon that\'s in the left hand (only can be caused by dual sabers) will be floating behind the body. Force Lightning comes out of the left foot, when used. Sabers don\'t sit right, when holstered. [/quote] If you like moviebattles and want this, or if you just like Padme, give this a download.

Omeewan's Jedi Skin Pack V1
well) , two Obi Wans (same as Qui Gon), two Mace Windus (same as Qui Gon and Obi Wan), and Kit Fisto. Consisting of eleven reskins, it doesn't look too bad, and shows that the author put a bunch of time into this. Well the Qui Gon is a reskin of Toonce's JK2 Qui Gon, and it looks pretty good. The tunic has definitely been changed to more of a sandy look, so it looks like he's been out in the desert a while. It is also apparent that the hair has been recolored as well. He also comes in a robed version. The unrobed version has team skins as well, but the robed one doesn't. The Kit Fisto looks to be a reskin of the Kit Fisto from the Clone Wars pack, and I certainly like this one more than I liked the one from the Clone Wars pack. It isn't cell shaded, which is very nice. The textures look very nice, and they give Kit a frog like quality, which is good cause he's a Nautolan. He comes with team skins and purple and orange as well. (Oooh Aaaah) The Anakin reskins are reskins on NeoMarz's Anakin models. The first thing I noticed after comparing the textures is the head. The reskin has a much lighter skin tone, which I must say is nice, the eyes are also a different color. In the sith version only one of the eyes have changed to that freaky orange-red color. In other places it looks like the author has just lightened the skin tone by a lot, which is a small improvement. The hair has also been changed. Both of the jedi Anakin skins have team skins, while the sith Anakin skins do not. He comes in a robed and unrobed version. Which also applies for the sith version. The Obi Wan has a tunic similar to Qui Gon's. Which I suppose is fitting for when he is on Tatooine in Episode One. One of the two skins has team skins, while the other does not. He comes in a robed and unrobed version. And lastly, there is the Mace reskin. He also comes in both robed and unrobed versions. The tunic also looks very sandy, much like the Obi Wan and Qui Gon skins. Again, only one of them has team skins. A very big skin pack. I must say. I think that the author might have tried making the Qui Gon, Mace, and Obi Wan tunics look a bit more different. (Because they look almost identical to me) And while I love shiny things, having shaders on everything sometimes doesn't work out too well. But all in all, it is a very well done skin pack. If you like star wars skin packs or if this appeals to you, give it a download. Team Support: Yes, on some skins. New Sounds: Yes Bot Support: No Npc Support: No ~Zach

Cloud City
find a fair few places of recognition when you explore around; I think the most noticeable area for me was that dining room where Han has his little spat with Vader, but there are also the classic landing pads and curved corridors. However, this is definitely a role-playing map, as the layout doesn’t really allow for a proper-FFA - it has too many corridors going off in all different directions, and you have to traverse a fairly long distance to get between areas. On the theme of shadowing, I think I’ll talk about the lighting next. On the whole it was fairly consistent, and most areas had reasonable sources, even though in places light was coming from nowhere, and for the outside sections the sky light was far too orangey. I think the main problem here though, is that it looks as though the author has reduced his ‘lightmapscale’ or ‘gridsize’ settings when compiling the map, which has resulted in rather jagged shadowing, and a general lack of definition from specific sources. There’s also, the horrible bespin sky, but fortunately the custom one here isn’t quite as horrible as the default one that Raven used in their original map. The buildings in it actually look rather nice, and the shadowing on them is also of a nice definition compared with the map itself :) Other extras included some JK2 model conversions, such as the Lando statue, which was particularly fitting. And also some not-so-fitting things, such as the logos advertising LDJ's site/workgroup. This map does perform extremely well in the architectural section though, with plenty of nice brush detailing, curves, and features of interest, combined with some nice moving entities and tidbits, such as the opening armoury :) There were a few areas where the quality dropped a little however, and the chandelier model-things had such an awful texture on them, which spoiled the areas in which they were located somewhat. There were also some floating objects between the upper and lower walkways outside, and at the door to the Falcon (Which, you can’t go in by the way – “Boo, Hiss! ;) ) And, there’s also a rather unfortunate bug too – when on the high walkway looking down to the lower one, if you turn around and jump off the other side, you can land on the invisible floor and walk around the underside of the map. The duel arena was nice though – I won’t comment on the amusement of the announcer voice in case it was recorded by who I think might have recorded it ;) – but the idea works well and the engineering was good….until it broke and the retracting pieces went out of sync… ;) The lifts were also very classy – A bit more lighting on the walls might have been in order when they were moving though, I couldn’t tell they were moving at first. It’s cloud city, how can you not enjoy it? The map isn’t a real gameplay fest though, and to my utmost horror, no bot support was included, yet for Nostalgia value and simply for creating the Star-Wars universe feel, you should at least check it out.

If you're looking for a good female model, this may be one to add to your collection.

Imperial Dreadnaught Final v 1.3
review a map that reminds me of them, that’s definitely good! This map really does have that JK2 flavour to it, its an Imperial Dreadnaught, and the interior and layout, reminds me a little of the Doomgiver level from JK2 SP. Its massive! The corridors seem to go on forever, and its easy to get lost, which is actually a good thing in a map like this, because it makes it so much more fun, never knowing who or what might be around the corner ;) There are loads of rooms, and lots of crawlspaces, that make you feel like your in the bowels of the ship. This is an excellent map for an RPG! Oh no, I’m not finished yet, there’s tons more cool features to come yet :) This map actually has….WORKING ladders! Yes, actual ladders up the wall that you can CLIMB. That’s so cool! Theres ladders all over the place, and its especially cool when they take you to crawlspaces, which have all these fuel lines n’ stuff in them :) Theres more, there are loads of control panels and stuff like that, especially in the bridge which, when pressed, make noises or do certain things, I noticed one control panel in the bridge made hyperspace appear outside the windows! No, im not finished, there is yet more! Make sure you read the Functions List.txt in the zip file, that tells you all the neat stuff you can do on this map. You can go inside the imperial shuttle, which takes you to Hoth below (part of the base JKA Hoth Siege map), where you can go inside an ATAT!!! One of the best things was that you could see the dreadnaught in the skybox from the cockpit of the Imperial shuttle, nice touch there! The only things I didn’t really like were that on some of the models, the textures were all black (I think this is caused because the model was only designed to work for single player or something, that’s what I heard anyway :S ) And it could do with bot support, it would be an even cooler map then :) (if you want to know how to do bot support, read this: http://jediknight2.filefront.com/info/BotWaypointTutorial it works for both JK2 and JKA) But apart from that its an excellent map, which would be great for RPG’s, with its winding corridors, medical room, shooting gallery, and lots of other rooms :) Well done mate!

FFA Episode 1 2004
lot new here. I found one room that was added on, but really the only purpose that hallway serves is to house a few more weapons. The map is definitely signiture LDJ eye candy and the FPS is quite telling of that. I have a decent system (not the best, but not ancient) and I was getting about 20 FPS in that one big area with the things ... y\'know, those big glowy things. What are those called, damn it? Oh, and those red shield things ... those were changed a little. An animation was added and it just looks a lot better. There is one thing that I remember from one of the older versions and that is that we were able to go outside to play. But that\'s blocked off now. It\'s all just to look at. :( Anyway, for those who are experiencing LDJ\'s maps for the first time - I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy this map. He\'s always quite accurate and detailed. And the JK2 version was a lot of fun, at first. I have to admit, I got bored after the novelty of the map wore off. My biggest complaint about this map is, of course, the FPS. While the gameplay is great on this map (okay, I do have a lot of memories of being pushed, pulled, gripped and thrown off into the pit, only to be saved by one of those walkways and jump up behind Shroom and kick him off ... heh heh), there\'s nothing here that most of us haven\'t seen before. I\'d like to see LDJ create a new map that\'s all about the gameplay and less focused on eye candy. Bot Support: No New Textures: Yes New Music: Yes Game Types: FFA, Duel ~AmosMagee

Matrix Reloaded FINAL
than I remember. The new textures are nice. The Blah Room is interesting. Thankfully, many of the teleports are labeled, so you know where you\'re going. There\'s a new nightclub added. And there are some great duel areas added. Now onto what I really was impressed by - the bonus maps. :D The Kill Bill map is lovely. Snow falls all around the place where that famous huge fight happened. The textures I just love, the lighting is great, and it seems fairly accurate. I adore this map. FFA Streets is also a great map and reminds me of a duel map I used to play on. I love that night city look. The neon lights, the buildings, all of it looks wonderful. Oh, and it totally has a ship, just like JK2\'s FFA map NS Streets.

Clone Trooper Rifle and Some Extra Sounds
while to notice that much of a change, although as I always say I\'m not the biggest SW fan so I can\'t judge sound accuracy when it comes to things like guns. The new sniper HUD is definately different, has a slight bug with the power indicator (it\'s not lined up correctly) but it\'s not that bad. Of course there is a bug and this is the second weapon mod in a row that has had a simlar bug! Look at the screenshot below, the shader isn\'t working for the image. I tested this one on my GTK install of JA (I use 2 installs on my PC) and this happened so I know it wasn\'t for the same reason as the other.

Siege Destroyer Map
thank you to the community for making JA such a popular game - they\'re presenting us with a new Siege map! So in Siege Destroyer, it seems that the Imperials have captured the Millennium Falcon! *gasp* They want what\'s in the ship and will stop at nothing to get it. So if you\'re a Rebel, it\'s your job to destroy their defenses and release the Millennium Falcon. If you\'re playing for the Imperials, you need to blow up the Rebels and keep them from getting back their precious ship. The Imperials will be using TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers and turbolaser defenses on the surface of the Star Destroyer to keep the Rebels at bay. If you\'re fighting for the forces of good, you\'ll have X-Wing Starfighters and Z-95 Headhunters. The music included is from episode V and should be familiar to you. :) I had a lot of fun playing this map, even though I still suck at flying. I managed to destroy a few things here and there. :D So finally, we have another Siege map to add to the list. Hopefully we\'ll see more being created by the mappers out there. :) Bot Support: N/A New Textures: Yes New Music: Yes Game Types: Siege ~AmosMagee

Clones
this skin pack is nothing short of extraordinary. Sure, they\'re clones, but they don\'t all have to look the same! The first one is a great looking skin with team support. The two team skins are what one would expect - your vanilla clonetrooper with some red here and blue there. Then there\'s the same clone as the default skin, but with this huge jetpack thing that\'s just very cool. You guys\'ll have to tell me what it does and where it\'s seen and stuff, cause I have no clue. The fourth screenshot there shows a trooper with another kind of jetpack and, dare I say it - shades on? Next is a another Fett look-alike, but without his helmet and another kind of jetpack thing - again, no clue what it is really. :) And finally, a bunch of other clones - another like the default, but with a jetpack and three like the team skins but in white, yellow and green and the last one is ... I\'m not sure what it is. So ... yeah. I counted four different taunts for the clones - all of which sound great. I\'m not sure Mars has ever submitted work that wasn\'t complete, so you can expect to find bot support here. I prefer this skin pack to his last one submitted - it seems to have more variety.

This great model of an episode two character comes with skins from Inbredyokel and NeoMarz1. There are three default skins included. The Darkside version comes with a mostly black outfit with gray shadows and a pale colored skin. The main default skin comes with the same colored head with your traditional Jedi clothing. The last default version has more of a teal blue colored head with a lighter and slightly different outfit. The team versions change the color of the torso red and blue for each respective team, and the pants change to a purple toned pair for the blue version. This is a great model with awesome skins and great sounds; all of this was compiled with a lot of help and great work from the JK2 community. If I didn’t mention your name in the review it is in the readme. I really can’t pick a favorite version of this skin, they are all so great.

Resident Evil Afterlife's Alice Abernathy
it. Otherwise, I'ma just get to the skin. So, what we got here looks like a texture mash of Gweth and Leela to form Voltron Voltron Megazord a character from the upcoming Resident Evil cinematic opus, Resident Evil: Afterlife. I gawked at like...one movie poster, to see if there was any resemblance between her face and Gweths...hmm =_= wow, this chick looks like a vampire. I'd stake her out if she had more junk in the trunk. Mmh, looks a liiittle like her, I guess. Outfit and hair I'm confused on because I never saw the other movies, so I'm pretty much just like G:LAKHGA:LKWHG:ALKWHGA:LKWH. Only zombie killing movies I ever watch is Evil Dead. Shop smart, shop S-Mart. The skin quality is decent, I suppose. It didn't seem much needed to be altered to get it working. However, there are some issues I'd like to address: 1.)I'da redone the skin on her face so there isn't a scar there. 2.)The skin linking between her neck and her collar region seems to contrast a bit too noticeably in the front. Actually the skin tones on the head and body contrast as a whole, like she stuck everything but her head in the tanning bed o_o 3.) There seem to be flecks of unattached hair speckles near the bottom of her hairline. Looks shader related so if you can fix it, go for it. The rest I have to leave to good faith because I can't even tell what color hair this Alice chick is supposed to have, so I'll just do when I don't understand something: punch a gorilla. [b]-=Averus walks over to a caged gorilla, who seems ill-fed and quite sickly.

Star Wars Movie Duels - The Original Trilogy - Demo
and TFU. Well, this little mod takes care of that one! Welcome to Movie Duels - The Original Trilogy! Although this is just a demo consisting of a single level, the fight between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader from A New Hope, it's still quite a bit of fun. It's almost as well done as Movie Duels 2, however, I found that some of the animations are a bit weird. For example, when Vader gets knocked over in the last part of the level if you play as him. A big chunk of wall hits him, and he just stands there for a second, as if he is trying to decide whether or not he should fall over from it. I also had a bit of a problem with the fact that when playing as Darth Vader, I was able to pull Obi-Wan into the pit in the hangar in the first part of the fight, killing him with almost no work at all. In the second part, he jumped in himself! I literally hit him twice with my saber during the entire fight. Even so, it's best to keep in mind that this is just a demo. Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to a full version of this mod. It is worth the download, if you can stand the .exe file format.

The Force Unleashed HUD v6
much improved for this version, though the lack of antialiasing is still apparent among the edges. A small glitch overall presents itself in the armor bar stacking over the health bar - they don't quite line up right all the time, there seems to be some random shifting, usually with full health and 25 armor but sometimes at other amounts. Another remark I'd make is the ammo count being at the exact opposite end of the screen - I'm aware TFU didn't have one at all, but personally I would have at least moved it closer to the HUD element itself, just to make it easier to check status at-a-glance and get back to the game. From that analysis you can guess that it's not perfected, but it is the final version so if you're in the market for a Force Unleashed HUD for JA, this is probably the one to be using at present. -Mikouen

Don't let that hinder you from downloading, though - don't miss out![/b] [b]Bespin Ruins v6:[/b] Wow, seems like ffa_bespin flew into an asteroid field! This is a destroyed version of Bespin - buildings are broken and leaning over, fires abound, walkways have collapsed, many random areas are broken out, and asteroids (the probable cause of the destruction) are falling from the sky. I was quite impressed with the atmosphere on this one - it's a well-made twist on the same old Bespin most of you JK2ers are used to. There's also a great deal of new material underneath the map...completely new areas! [b]Big Cannon:[/b] This one was fun. You spawn on an orbital space station with a gigantic nuclear cannon in the center. If you enter it through the door (or jumping in the top, like I did) a 10 second countdown begins. At the end, the cannon launches you into space. I found it pretty neat...I have never gone that fast in-game before without using noclip at full speed. It was awesome. The downside is that it will probably wear off after a while...once the cannon launches you, you need to quickly get off the pad where you land, because the force field you stand on turns off each time a person is shot from the cannon. Would have been nice to see a one-sided wall there, maybe...basically, this map is an all-out space station slice-up or a king-of-the-hill brawl on the asteroids above. Take your pick. [b]Big Hill:[/b] Hmmmmm...I have no idea how this map was created. The entire map consists of simply a steep mound in the middle of a small courtyard. On top of the mound is a small stone structure, that when stood on, will begin making noises and glowing. There are eight cannons surrounding the mound, and off to one side, there are some stairs. These stairs lead to a console that will fire each of the cannons. All the shots went straight to the top of the hill, and I assume whoever is standing there gawking at the pretty glowy effects and sound will be blasted away. I found this map to be quite small, so I assume this may be some kind of proof-of-concept deal. Correct me if I'm wrong. [b]Bikini Bottom:[/b] Spongebob Squarepants has made his way into Quake III. Quick, everyone run for the coral reefs! This is an incredible likeness of the Spongebob world. The skybox is perfect, and many random locations from the show are scattered abroad There are also a bunch of oversized fishing hooks hanging down and several boats traveling back and forth across the 'roadways'. Among the locations available are the Krusty Krab, the rest home, the driving school, and of course, Spongebob, Squidward, Patrick and Sandy's houses. The only thing I could mention negative is that Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick's houses are too close together...but that's it. This is about as good as Spongebob for JK2 can get. Great work! [b]CTF Country Roads:[/b] CTF is all about speed. This map is very fast-paced...so much so that I'd say you could get a lot of high-scoring matches here. There are two barns with the flags in the silos next to them. Between them is a road that goes through a dug-out tunnel in the rocks. Underneath this, a boat travels on the water between the two barns. It's a very small setup, yet elegant at the same time. I enjoyed running around on this one for a while. The atmosphere is great, with a dusty, dirty look inside the barns and a clear, sunny day feel outside. My favorite part was definitely the roadway, though...the automatic means of getting from base to base was definitely awesome. There is also a boat that goes between the two bases, although it seems a little slower than the roadway. There are hidden missile launchers in the water...if you can get them without drowning. Oh, and that water shader is awesome. [b]CTF Mines of Boognish:[/b] It took me a while to figure this one out, but I finally did. This is a mining asteroid. You can enter the mines by sabering out the floor in the towers you start in. Once you get to the bottom, you can enter the mines and begin your run towards the other side of the asteroid. The mines are rather short, but once you get to the bottom you can either continue on to the other side of the asteroid, or cut across the middle of a lava pit and try to disable the force field up above. This makes for very interesting gameplay. The only problem with this one was that [i]I couldn't find the flags![/i] Laugh if you wish, but I couldn't find them anywhere! Wherever they are, it must be in plain sight or hidden just around a corner out of sight. [b]Duel Caribbean:[/b] I found this one a little confusing. The duel takes place on a high rock overlooking the sea with a lighthouse built into the side of the cliff. There's plenty of room for a good duel, although there is a lack of detail on most of the objects, as if they were supposed to be viewed from far away. I say that because at the bottom of the lighthouse, there is a ship. The side is blown out, the masts have broken off , the bottom no longer exists and the whole thing is flooded. But you can't reach it...I tried every possible way to get down there without noclip, and I just couldn't. The only thing I can figure is that there's a hidden button somewhere, or you aren't supposed to reach it. Which is kind of a bummer, because the ship is much more interesting than the hilltop. I hope it's just a glitch. [b]Duel Pinworld:[/b] This is an interesting idea. The entire map consists of a pink environment, wooden walkways and bowling pins. Ok, so there is a platform off to the side, but that's not the point...the point is that this place is unique. Whatever gave the author the idea to make a map from bowling pins, I have no idea, but it's pretty neat! Honestly, you just have to take a look to understand Pinworld. It seems like an interesting place, and for a duel, it has a few elements that should enhance gameplay a little. [b]FFA Mustafar:[/b] This remake didn't go for accuracy, but rather for a mapper's recreation of the facility. It's not bad, actually - many of the key areas are here, intact. There's a few secrets I found, and there are more somewhere that I was unable to find/open. (Yunz are really good at hiding em!) I really can't find many words for this map. There's nothing wrong with it - I'm just unable to put it to words. Put it this way: If you like Mustafar, you'll probably like this map. If not, *waves hand and performs a mind trick* then you [i]will[/i] like it anyway. [b]Jedi of the Caribbean:[/b] This was a good one, though a tad small. You spawn on a ship sailing through shark-infested waters. There is a ship on either side of you (hopefully friendly!) and some sharks in the water. Oh, there's a nice, thick fog, too. Construction was excellent. The upper deck had no cannons on it, but it did have a bunch of crates. Below deck, there are more crates of this 'n that, hammocks and a few other items of interest. It was a little bare for my taste, but with some good players, that won't be noticed. [i][b]Note from the author:[/b] Inside the captain's deck, there is a giant map. If you touch this, you're teleported to another ship with the lighthouse area from JotC Duel. The map is much bigger than the first ship!![/i] [b]Jedi of the Caribbean II:[/b] I was a little disappointed with this one. The map consists of a donut-shaped cave with two short passageways on opposite sides. There are several boats with umbrellas sailing around the cave. That's it...did I miss something? [b]Khomm CTF:[/b]: I like the khomm maps. All of them deal with lava, and most of them consist of a network of platforms supported above it. I like the setup...it gives a Mustafar kind of feel, actually. Not half-bad. This particular one consists of a blue base in a big lava-filled cave and a red base in the open air getting pelted with asteroids. Unlike Country Roads, this one is geared toward low-scoring matches - players will have to rush in as teams with large forces to blast through the enemy's defenses. Lots of strategy will be involved for sure. [b]Khomm FFA:[/b] I think this was my favorite map in the whole pack. It's a combination of Khomm Lavacave, Khomm Lab, Khomm Pad and a few elements from the Khomm TFFA as well. The center of the map is a cave, almost completely sealed off from the outside world. The Millennium Falcon sits on the platform above the lava. There are force fields in a few areas in place of the grates, and several doors leading to other places. There are plenty of interconnecting hallways, and there was even an evil secret area that had a camera system and some cool buttons. I loved it. Just a sidenote, from evidence seen in the Laboratory and Lavacave maps, I'd say the FFA version was made first and split up into the separate maps included in this pack. Either way, they're all well done. [b]Khomm Laboratory:[/b] More Khomm! This one is a small laboratory next to an underground lava flow. Looks pretty snazzy. There are some shadowtrooper suits hanging on the wall, and two tubes in the middle of the room with lava running down them. This one seemed a little empty, especially compared to the other Khomm maps, but it's good overall. [b]Khomm Lavacave:[/b] Hmm, another underground location on Khomm. This is a cave, and like the laboratory, it appears completely closed to the outside air. There are multiple lava flows, and in one area there is a rotating JK logo hovering above a pad. Lava drips from the ceiling in multiple areas. There isn't really much to say, except that the atmosphere is [i]perfect[/i]. A jorb well done. [b]Khomm Pad:[/b] This map consists of a landing pad under a pitch black sky, with a pitch black pit below it. There's a rock face into which it is anchored, and a door in said face. The rock can be walked on for a short distance, but not much. You can get on the supports under the pad, but good luck getting back up once you're down there. There really isn't much to say here, it's a very simple map. [b]Khomm Pit:[/b] If I'm not mistaken, this is the third entirely underground Khomm map. The entire map consists of a junction between three caves. There are torches along the walls, and in the middle is a small pit half filled with lava. Steam rises from the pit, as the lava angrily growls at the potential morsels dueling on the walkway above. There are three closed doorways, and none of them open - you're stuck with hungry lava or a saber-wielding adversary to kill you. [b]Khomm TFFA:[/b] The final Khomm map in the pack. This appears to be an inner part of a facility where lava is collected and stirred. Asteroids are falling, and when I looked up, I saw the reason why. That's an awesome skybox, I have to say! The facility has two floors in addition to the walkways over the lava. On the second floor, there are buttons that toggle the force fields on the walkways on or off. It seems a tad small for a tffa, but seeing as every player will be in constant danger, I'm sure it'll be interesting with a massive amount of players. [b]Ook's Haunted House:[/b] Hoooo boy. Where to start! This is definitely an awesome map. It's not really a "house" per say...maybe that's what makes it just a tad creepier. You have to understand, this isn't really meant to be scary, it's just meant for fun. There are at least two instances of cats, an inverting bedroom, and a special guest appearance from Dave Thomas and the Taco Bell Chihuahua followed by death. There's even an Indiana Jones 3 style puzzle in the "shed" thing behind the house, which I thought was pretty neat. After completing the puzzle, I "called" a "special team" to fix up the house and I moved on, because it was simply too much fun. XD [i]Edit: Thanks for that song, by the way. It irritates my brother to no end. =D[/i] [b]ShroomDuck's Yavin Duel:[/b] This appears to be a partially destroyed variation of the Skywalker Room (Is that what it's called?). The room has been slightly redesigned and a few things have been added, but it still says Jedi Academy to me. There were a few visual elements that bothered me, though...specifically the gradient light beams from the window and the blocky shadows on the ceiling. Both could be fixed without a whole lot of hassle, and it would definitely make the map feel even more yavin-ish. It also seemed a bit empty, but that's how the Jedi Academy is so there's no problem with that. [b]Shroom's Death Star:[/b] Not really as big as the death star, but still very large and incorporating many of the key elements to make it a good Death Star, it's Shroom's Death Star! This place looked FUUUUUNNNN. Crates everywhere, computers everywhere, at least one hangar, several platforms-stretched-out-over-pits areas, a mouse droid, and a garbage crusher. Really now, need I say more? It's the Death Star. It's done very well, and I would highly recommend this map to anyone. [b]SM64:[/b] Ah, yes. Mario, the little plumber with a red hat and more problems than you can count. This map recreates the palace and several of the beginning levels from Super Mario 64, up to and including the first boss. I was impressed at the accuracy portrayed here - good job! The two most notable areas I remember were the bob-omb battlefield (or whatever that place was called) and the snow world, where you slide down the mountain slopes. Quite fun, and a job well done. [b]The Forest Moon of Endor:[/b] This is a very "artist's rendition" version of Endor. It is in no way accurate to the film, yet is enticing in it's own way. There are three main areas - one with Ewok huts up in the air, one with an imperial landing pad and an AT-AT (which can fire it's lazor) and the third with a swinging tree trunk and some AT-ST's. Everything in this map seemed to lead to another place some way or another. There were hallways all over the place. I especially liked the Extend-O-Glove trick...what a way to go. XD The bounce pads were pretty neat, too. [b]Team Wookiee Invades South Park:[/b] I've never seen South Park...yeah, yeah, I know, that's unheard of, but it's true. This map creates what I assume is part of the South Park world with many of the key characters implemented. The cool thing: making use of cel shading, everything in the map has been given a black outline. If you are not yet familiar with cel shading, now's a good time to check it out. It's really sweet. Since I'm not familiar with the show, I can't vouch for accuracy on anything. All I can do is give you a few of the things you'll find...you'll find cows all over the streets, a bus that crashed into a tree in front of the school and ran over Kenny, a stage with Ween on it, and several funky shops such as a Sushi Bar. An interesting environment for sure...now if only I knew what everything meant. XD [b]Puerto De Drahcir:[/b] I was reminded somewhat of Port Royal while testing this out. I assume this is the desired effect because of the music track. The entire map consists of a very small town next to a port, with a gigantic boat next to the pier. The town itself is mainly a conglomeration of random buildings, with a graveyard off to the side. Most of your time will probably be spent on the gigantic boat. She's a real beauty. I was only able to find a cargo hold and a crew's quarters below deck, though. The cannons were neat...I like getting fired off at high speeds, thanks to BigCannon. There were several small glitches here and there, including two patch meshes that don't meet on the sides of the ship, but nothing terrible or too distracting. The level of detail on the ship is just too amazing for me to gripe about that. [b]Rhiom's Retreat:[/b] I'm reminded very much of The Karate Kid for some silly reason. This is a japanese-looking place, although I can't decide if it's for training or a restful retreat. I take it as a training grounds simple because of what lies below. There were various areas available here, ranging from a pool to what looks like a jacuzzi and various dueling areas in completely different environments. Most of the map seems to deal with water, though. Didn't find any big bugs or anything...this one seems pretty stable all on it's own. There was a texturing glitch on the circling fish, but I think that was it. [b]Sirhc's Bowling:[/b] This is a re-release of a map that has been out for quite some time. I think the music was changed since said release, but that's about it. It seems pretty much exactly as I remember. Arcade games that you can play around inside, an exploding toilet, a pool table you can play on, pinworld...oh, and of course, the bowling alley itself. I'm just skimming the surface here, because really, if you want to have some JK2 fun, you can have quite a bit here. You just have to try it to understand. [b]Space Station:[/b] More space material. This is a big space station orbiting some planet somewhere in the middle of space. The outer areas are connected by a neat ring which pushes you through as a one-way means of transportation. The inner rings contain most of the goodies. You can also get outside the station and walk around it from the outside...must be an air bubble surrounding it. Now, to me, the architecture on the station looks a little slapped together from the outside...the inside looks fine, but the the outside looks like it wasn't quite planned to turn out the way it did. That's not a problem, just an observation. In any case, this one didn't have any really big bugs, either. I probably missed a whooole lot of areas...be aware that there are many, many ways to get places! [b]Transdermal Celebration:[/b] Okay...I'm disturbed. After hearing the music and seeing the map, I looked up a video on youtube out of curiosity. It only got more disturbing...I guess if you like morphing into different beings, then it's not so bad...I'm not exactly sure what was happening here. PLEASE tell me it isn't what I think it is! XD The map itself has a very nice, solid construction, and it's good for an FFA match for sure. To me, it looks like a broken down citadel floating in the clouds with many platforms floating around it. I'm not sure how this fits into the music, but I'm sure it does some way or another. Many random signs of Boognish decorate the map, many of which will teleport you or throw you to another area of the map. I didn't see any bugs during my test. [b]*Phew!*[/b] There was a simple glitch applying to the entire pack...the lava shader and a few of the computer shaders had an awkward blendfunc or something that made them draw over some of the effects and, in some cases, your lightsaber. The lava's steam was the biggest loss, although there are a few visible glitches on Mustafar and Khomm FFA as well. A must download for ANY JK2 player. Hear me? Must. Get going! ~Dretzel

Lightsource's Batman Skinpack
Batman model pack which consists of 5 models/skins -Batman Begins Default Red Blue -Batman Returns -Batman (The Dark Knight) Each model is [b]very[/b] movie-accurate in textures and models. They are all modelled up to the slightest detail noticable from the movies and the textures are almost identical. There aren't many good movie-based models around and this is definately one that is good. The use of shaders really brings the models to life, and they are recommended if you wish to see the models at their best. There are new sounds, as you would hope for, and they are all of good quality. The mouth also moves when you taunt etc. :) I only had one dislike about this pack, the vampire Batman. It looked too feminin and too overdone with the shadering and it resulted in it looking a bit too shiny. So, not much more to say about it because there are no bad points about it. Overall, an [b]excellent[/b] model pack and extremely accurate. This is definately worth the download whether or not you are a Batman fan. I will be keeping this in my base folder as it is just....great! -Dommie Kun NPC support: Yep New Sounds: Yep Team Support: Yep Bot Support: Yep

Secret Apprentice Saber Stance
mod working on the Red stance, it acutely is put on to the Staff instead. And even then both blades have to be going for it to even work. Another thing i noticed is the hand isn't closing all the way around the staff, so he's just kinda holding it open handed. The only other things i noticed was the pk3 eather has to be placed in the Base folder, or for me it had to go in to the JA+ folder. Other then the glitch with the hand and the mod working on the staff this mod is still a nice addition to your game play. ~T89T

Taspir Power Complex V3
Seriously! The insides of the three towers around the map all look the same, and I could never tell where I was or which floor I was on. Mind you, I did get lost in [i]my own map[/i] once... Errm, perhaps I shouldn't have said that. Ehem, anyway, on with the review! Well, we have a big treat for you here today. Fans of the previous two versions of the Taspir Power Complex map will be drooling to get their hands on the latest version no doubt. Never fear, for your download is near (well just at the bottom of this review actually)! I think people who have never heard of this map, or perhaps didn’t like the previous two versions will be won over by the latest maps incredible features. Since this is such an [i]epic[/i] map, this is going to be quite a lengthy review, even then I will have to cut bits out, since there are such a huge amount of features in this map, I would have to write a book to cover them all! If you have been waiting for this map, my nice long review will be a good thing for you, since it will take you marginally longer to scroll down the page to get to the download button, thanks to its length. Hopefully this will build up the suspense and excitement just a little bit more. :P Anyway, where do I start? This is such a HUGE map that there is a lot to cover here. In fact the main map could really be two maps in one (I shall come to that later). Although I should really call this a map pack, since there are actually a number of maps included in the .pk3 here, including a night time version of the main map, and also a CTF map and a couple of duel maps! Since there is so much here, I will concentrate mostly on the main FFA map of the files title. First of all lets have a look at the: [b]Architecture[/b] The architecture of the original Taspir map was pretty simple, yet at the same time distinctive. The author here has improved the architecture for the original areas of the map; however, the real challenge comes when you start adding new areas to the original one. The thing is, to make the transition between old and new as seamless as possible, you have to build your new areas in the same style of architecture as the old areas. This makes the map seem more of a whole, rather than an obvious mixture between the original parts, and the new additions. Trust me when I say that this is a difficult thing to do! The author has done an excellent job here, merging the original Taspir areas with his new additions. In some areas, I honestly couldn’t tell where the old map ended, and where the new additions began, they were that well blended together. That is a difficult thing to do, so well done there mate! :) [b]Additions[/b] Well, where do I start?! There are so many new areas to explore here, I could spend all day writing about them! One of my favourite areas was the ‘clan bedrooms’ area. This seems to be a feature on quite a lot of clan oriented maps, such as Sith Council v2, however, I think the bedroom area in this map is the best I have ever seen in any clan themed map. It is well laid out, there is lots of space and the furniture is much more realistic than I’ve seen in other maps. Importantly though, the furniture here is also properly sized, so no gigantic desks or chairs, they are the right proportion to the player character! We also have new areas added to the top of the towers in the main part of the map. There are some landing pads with spawnable ships, gun turrets, and even what looks to be an air traffic control tower! There are also many other features up here, however, another one of my favourite areas was down below… Going through a door in the mountain side down at the bottom near the lava takes you into what must be the reason for the maps name; the Power Complex. This is a large area inside a huge cave, with power generators, lots of walkways with girders, pipes, and all manner of industrial looking apparatus filling the area. Also most impressive is how the lava is down below, lighting the cavernous space with its fiery red glow. On a side note, I also want to say how much I was impressed with the new lava texture, it is a vast improvement over the original Base JKA lava texture! The most colossal addition to this map (in fact, it could be a whole map in itself) is the massive space area, filled with asteroids! There is a space station with spawnable ships, masses of asteroids and other features, and my favourite part) a huge asteroid in the middle much like the one seen in Episode 2 during the dogfight between Jango and Obi Wan. It has several holes in it, and a sizeable area inside, so you can test your piloting skills out trying to fly through it! ;) Even more clever, the way to get to this space area is simply to get one of the spawnable ships and fly it up into the sky…you are then teleported straight to the space sector! If you want to go back to the planet’s surface, then all you need to do is fly towards the planet in the skybox in space. A very clever system for moving between the two areas that I haven’t seen done before. Even after all that, there is still a huge amount of new features and areas to explore on this map, you can keep coming back day after day and keep finding new things! [b]Interactivity[/b] Once again, I could write a book with the amount of interactive features there are on this map! As I have already said, there are spawnable ships in various areas of the map for flying around in, as well as many new areas which have interactive features. This map has a total of [b]56[/b] scripts which control and enable certain things to happen around the map. Now that probably won’t mean a lot to most people unless you are a mapper. But let me say that most maps have [i]no[/i] scripts at all! And the ones that do have scripts, generally speaking don’t have that many. In that light that 56 scripts in a single map, is a huge amount and must have taken a lot of work! There is one particular secret, which probably involves a fair few of those scripts, which will make your eyes pop out with the incredible changes it actually makes to the map, however that is a secret, so I shall say no more. :P Perhaps the best interactive feature of this map is the ability to customise it for your own clan. I know on some clan-oriented maps, various different clans that use the map will replace the original clan’s textures (logos and such) in the .pk3, with their own textures and logos. Thus when they play the map, the original clan’s logos and textures have been replaced with their own, thus customising it for their own use. This map is very special however, in that this is the first map I have ever come across that has this ability [i]built into the design of the map[/i] which means the map was meant to have certain textures replaced so clans can customise it for themselves! [b] ***Full instructions on how to do this are on the authors website, you can find the address in the readme below.***[/b] As well as that, there are a huge amount of teleporters hidden throughout the map which take you to various secret places. Including secret observation rooms, rooms with lots o’ buttons that do various things throughout the map (including changing the music), excellent sniping positions, secret areas for duelling in and so on. A nifty feature in the hidden duel rooms is the auto return feature, so if you are defeated in the duel, or die any other way, you are automatically teleported back into the duel room you were in before. To leave the room or disable this feature all you need to do is just walk to the exit sign, and you are teleported back into the main map. [b]Extras[/b] In reality, this isn’t just one map, but actually [b]six[/b] maps! First of all we have the main FFA map, which comes in two flavours, both a day and a night version! The night version gives a whole different feel to the map, and is very well done. Then we have a CTF version of the main map, which has had several areas changed, including the main platform in the middle of the map, which has been made dramatically smaller. It also new moves up and down, and deploys a small ramp to get onto it, all by using the console near it. This was very well made, and could be useful for all kinds of things, especially duels and such. The layout of other areas is also slightly different, but still similar to the main FFA map. The red and blue flags are housed at the top of the towers, which are lit by red and blue lights respectively on the outside. Moving on, we then have another tree Duel maps! Two of them are the same, being the main platform area from the original map, once again coming in night and day versions. A really cool (and somewhat scary) feature of these maps is that the lava down below the platform starts to rise every so often, accompanied by a small earthquake…until the lava engulfs the two lower platforms / areas leaving just the main platform up to! So if you are duelling down below, and the earthquakes start, you know that’s your que to move to the upper platforms, or get engulfed by rising lava! The other duel map, is another area from the new main map, the underground cavern where the power plant is. This makes a fantastic place to duel because of the numerous walkways and the deadly lava down below! ;) [b]Conclusion[/b] All in all this is an absolutely epic map, and I’m really not exaggerating when I say that. It really is [i]that[/i] good! It has endless secrets to explore, new areas to discover, incredible interactivity and on top of all of that, it has been tailored to also suit the needs of clans. As far as interactive clan themed maps go, I really do believe that this map sets the new [b]gold standard[/b] in terms of the huge amount of features it offers, and the overall consistent excellent build quality. And if you are wondering about low FPS, the author also included another .pk3 in the .zip file (Tpcv3_low_fps_fix.pk3) which disables certain features which may slow older computer systems, thus making the map even more accessible to people. This is an absolute [i]must download[/i] as far as I am concerned, I haven’t seen a map with this many things to do, secrets to discover and new areas to explore for longer than I can remember! Come on guys, give this map a download, you know you want to! ;) [b]Main Map:[/b] [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]New Scripts:[/b] Yes (TONS of them!)

Final Fantasy VII Weapon Pack
weapons, Aerith\'s Guard Stick, and a boomerang. A new version of the rod has also been added. { For a more detailed review of the Before Crisis weapons, check [file=68093]here[/file]. } So what\'s different about this pack? Well, a new hit effect is included (which looks more like a space phenomenon from a Star Trek episode than an effect caused by someone being struck). Several items are replaced with FFVII equivalents, with potions replacing medkits, ether replacing Force crystal, etc. I have to question the act of replacing the sentry drone with a cluster of materia. It just looks and feels completely wrong, and those bright glowing orbs are a liability in that they\'ll distract you an awful lot. Same goes for the Ultima Weapon - it\'s just too darn bright. Same with the hit effect, it\'s likely to stun you if you\'re in a dark area or have sensitive retina. This pack ain\'t for epileptics, that\'s for sure. Functionally, though, there\'s nothing to complain about. All the weapons work fine, as would be expected. The texturing job is for the most part just fine. All you really have to be wary of is the fact that they have altered parameters when compared to base weapons, so some weapons may give an unfair advantage whereas others will act as a severe handicap. ~ Kouen

Yuna
with it. I'm a Final Fantasy freak and love everything Final Fantasy, so when this beauty came along it made my day. The hair, the clothes, the skin, the face - everything about this is nigh-on exact to the games. I can only think of one or two points to criticise, and even then I'm nitpicking. Firstly, the face isn't as spot on as the rest of the skin. Yes, it's still amazing, but at a close glance there are a few irregularities. Secondly (and now I'm REALLY nitpicking) was with the skins shown in the second screenshot. In Final Fantasy X, Yuna's dress didn't quite expand as wide as that about her waist, it makes her look a little fatter ;) But apart from that, this model is brilliant. It has all the neat touches and details from the game, and I'm most impressed that they've managed to avoid any noticeable clipping errors with the hanging down dress thing she wears in the first screenshot. There were some when executing moves, but trust me, you won't notice them :D There are 3 skins for this model - Yuna from FFX, Yuna (Gunner Dressphere) from FFX-2 and Yuna (Songstress Dressphere) from FFX-2. All three are intricately textured and detailed to the finest detail, but my favourite has to be the Gunner skin. It's just so spot-on! The others are pretty much as well, but the first one just reminds me of the game more than the other two. There are new sounds taken from the games, which are fine, as they sound like the real thing. I think the author could have found some more interesting ones though, especially for the angry noises (Yuna throws some real fits in FFX-2 ;) ) but aside from personal preference there's nothing wrong with these. No team skins however, and personally I wouldn't really mind as the original ones are brilliant, but maybe if you're making a v2 which is more customised to JA you should include team skins. Bot support too! I'd really enjoy some bot support here :) New Sounds: Yes Team Support: No Bot Support: No ~Szico VII~

seeing as the only thing you have to do is darken the cape and apste the mask on the face - which is exactly what the author did. He did it well and I don't really have a reason to say that it is bad, simply because it does its job well. Save the sounds, I was able to locate only one changed track (the taunt - insect-like noises), the rest were standard stock Jaden sounds.

Star Destroyer II
taken, I think he actually rebuilt the whole thing! This map contains all the standard features - hangar, dorm room, catina, prison, command deck, random room with cages holding wildlife(?), a nice bit of external flight space, and a crapload of corridors. Typical SD interior. I'll start with criticism. The shader error from the previous version is still present, and I doubt it's a shader clash - my base folder is empty. Some of the elevators take far too long to get to where they're supposed to be, which is a bad thing as it induces tedium. My third criticism, is the lighting - it's not uniform lighting, but it may as well be.There just isn't enough variation in the lighting to make it interesting. Bot support hasnt been added in this version, which is a shame. I also found some z-fighting on the outside which no one actually [i]playing the game normally[/i] would probably ever see - but, it's there! :p Onto the good parts - this map provides a great TFFA environment, since certain areas of this map can be used for some very interesting and strategic teamplay. The general design of the interior works very well, in addition to the exterior is very well built. Most of the areas are accurate to what the interior of a Star Destroyer would look like, too. There is one thing to be aware of - don't hit the button to open the hangar door while it's still opening or closing. This will result in it locking up until you restart the map. Every door in JKA and other Q3 engine games does that though, so it's no fault of the authors. Overall, this is a good map for those who like a bit of FFA or roleplay. Check it out - there's plenty of features in here to keep you amused for a while. ~ Kouen [b]Bot Support:[/b] No [b]New Textures:[/b] No [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]New Models:[/b] No [b]Patches:[/b] [file=62935]Star Destroyer II - Botrouting Patch[/file]

saying how large the map is. But this map really is MASSIVE. I cant believe how much stuff Szico has put into this map. You could explore it all day and still not find everything! This is a very snowy map, which I suppose is apt for this time of year, as December is usually known for its snow! Unless of course you live somewhere where it doesn’t snow… In the part of the UK that I live in, we rarely get proper snow. Its usually either mush that falls here, or when we do get snow its only a thin layer that melts anyway after a couple of hours unless its cold enough lol! Anywayyy…it looks like there’s been plenty of snow falling in this map as its absolutely covered in it! I must also say that the choice of base JKA skybox used is very clever. It might only be the night-time one that’s used on the Korriban Multiplayer FFA map, but it fits very nicely with the snow! There are just too many cool (forgive the pun) features in this map to list. So I will try and only comment on the best ones :D Firstly the area where I spawned was a frozen pond type thing. The texture and shiny shader used looked very effective, and being a frozen pond, its really slippery too, so watch your step! However, there’s something far cooler (forgive the pun again!) that just a frozen pond there. There are fireflies, tons of them! The author has really done a good job making this new effect, it really does look like fireflies are hovering around the pond, and it looks very scenic :) The choice of music for the map is also excellent and adds to the scenic atmosphere. The main area to the map is sorta like a little village. There are many small cottages scattered around, a few of them you can even go in. There’s a nice warm fire inside, some furniture, and even a sleeping bag type thing :) The way the doors of the cottages have been scripted to swing open is more like real life and looks very good, afterall how many cottage doors do you see that just slide away into the wall like the doors we are so used to seeing in Starwars maps? Around the back of some of the cottages is a TaunTaun pen, this is a BIG map remember, so TaunTaun’s are useful for getting around quickly! Another thing I like in this map is the Snow covered Fir trees, they fit very well with the map, and there is a nice little area where there is a camp fire surrounded by a few trees. Again very scenic. Lets not forget the Ski Lift and Ski Slope too! Its fun sliding down there…weeeee! *crack!* *crunch!* Owwww… Anywayyy, that’s just the main area, after that there is another area to get to. You get to this via a frozen sewer or river type thing. At first when I saw it, it was covered with ice, and I didn’t think anything of it. Then I jumped on it and *CRACK!* the ice broke and I fell into the water! That was a very cool idea, breakable ice ;) Anyway, once I swam my way through the sewer/river I came out at this shaft where I had to jump up in order to upon this hatch above me. Once out I worked my way out onto this snowy canyon road…with errmmm…an X-Wing at the side? That seemed a bit out of place for the setting of the map! Go through what looks like a boarded-up shaft, wind your way through the corridors and eventually you will find yourself back at the main area! Phew. Errm but that’s not it…there are loads of secrets and other places you can go in this map, including what I believe is a Final Fantasy themed duel room, control rooms, even deep underground through something that looks like a mine shaft! Now, I couldn’t tell you where all the secrets are of course, as well as making the review insanely long, that would spoil the fun :P I will give you some clues as to where to find one of the secret areas though ;) Look around for some padlocked hatches, you can break the padlocks and then press the use button to open the hatches…I’m not going to tell you anymore though, that would spoil the fun now wouldn’t it? Mwahaha! One other great thing was the teleporters around the map, they look incredible when they are turned on. Now it’s a bit complicated to turn them on, basically look for round buttons that you can press to turn them on (I had trouble finding them though, but then again I’m not good at finding things!) Also look for a hidden teleporter behind a brick wall somewhere. It’s a bit difficult to find, but I’m sure you will find where it is ;) Now, onto the things that could have been improved upon. Well the map is extremely high quality, and there was very little here that I thought could be improved upon. However there were still one or two things. One thing was that the boulders scattered around certain places in the map were very jaggedy, it would have looked cool if they were a bit more rounded off. But it still looks ok really ;) And of course, as with any map this size, the FPS in places did drop quite a bit for me. But overall I’m very glad to say that the FPS was very good :) Besides that an absolutely excellent map here! Well done Szico! :) Bot Support: Yes New Textures: Yes New Sounds: Yes New Music: Yes Game Types: FFA, TFFA, Duel, Power Duel, CTF ~Nozyspy~ Oh and by the way, Szico informs me that all the source files for this map are included in the .zip, I’m certainly going to enjoy looking through those, and I’m sure you will too ;)

Movie Saber Clash effects Mod
the body look like a saber clash. Overall it gives the effect of a more realistic saber fight because it doesn\'t look like you are actually hitting anyone, making it perfect for movie making. It also makes the saber fights feel faster paced and exhilarating. I can only really see two downsides to this mod, firstly it would give you a bit of a disadvantage in duels, and normally you can tell if you got a good hit in or not. Also you still get the shield effect which kinda ruins the feel of it. Maybe that could be changed in version 2 *hint* I think this is probably one of the most practical mods I have ever seen; I can see a valid use for it. All in all, Good Work -TheSpike

Episode III Palpatine
version) skins, but the ones that I found weren't perfect: One had a good model but not a great skin and decent sounds, one had a good costume and face but whose model was buggy, and one had a great lightning-scarred face, but the author explicitly stated that he disliked the costume. So, I took these three and put them together into one non-robed Palpatine skin that I think is good. As for the robed versions (Darth Sidious in red and black robed with hood), I found two great skins that just needed sound.[/quote] Rather straightforward. The author makes it clear that he has acted as nothing more than a 'rearranger', and properly credits all the original authors in his read-me should you like to look up the original files. Now to be honest, as I was reading the read-me I couldn't remember what the heck Palpatine was wearing at these individual parts of Episode III. However after looking at the skins here they look pretty good. Despite the fact that I personally thing the original authors could have done a much better job on the facial textures, the arrangement of the graphics here seems to do ol' Palpy justice. So if you're looking for another Darth Sidious or Senator Palpatine skin to add to your collection, see if these float your boat. Also don't forget, the author has included Sidious' saber in this pack as well, with both single and staff functions! Not a bad looking saber, actually, and I'm pretty picky about my sabers.

Samurai (v2)
one there has some great looking armor and katanas. The mask and helmet are very detailed and interesting to gaze upon. I didn't notice any problems with weighting, but I didn't play with it much. The team skins for the first model are what you'd expect, and they look wonderful. The second model features a maskless warrior who has a very serious look about him. Nice facial hair, too. The third Samurai there is actually no helmet or mask and is considered the "Archer". He looks great. According to the readme, these models were inspired by The Last Samurai and I'm quite pleased with them. The only thing that disappoints me is that there weren't any new sounds done. Please, please update this model with sounds. And do more models.[/quote] The V2 definitely expands on all the points mentioned in that review, with the inclusion of new sounds and more skins/models to add to the pack. The sounds are a two-edged sword, because, although the voices sound excellent, the phrases can seem a bit cheesy. I'd expect a samurai to have a japanese taunt with some kind of deep spiritual meaning, but instead we have things like "Don't cry." which I daresay sounds slightly wimpy ;) All the death sounds e.t.c are fitting and I've got no problems with these. Onto the actual models then :) Well, there’s not much to fault with these models. As with the first versions, there's plenty of detail - samurai swords, chains, cuffs and large intricate headgear all combine together to make a visually stunning model. The skins which accompany these models are of a similar quality - the textures are fantastic and the faces manage to capture that japanese/chinese kind of expression. I believe there's also some new models in this skin - a samurai who is less armoured, similar to Hattori Hanzo from Kill Bill, (in terms of clothing) and some otherwise samurai looking ones which I can't really relate to anything else, just have a look at the screenshots (which were from the author because they show the models much better than mine did.) One thing which I did find slightly irritating about some of the models was the flag wedged into their backs, but the author(s) have been extremely initiative and have included documentation on how to remove the flags. Very nice :) There are some flaws though, as with most new models. Firstly, you dont actually get to see most of the model when you're actually playing, which means you miss out on 80% of the work put into this. Honestly, the backs of these skins aren't what you want to be looking at, and the detail which is on the front is unfortunately lost when you're playing. Admittedly this isn't a fault of the author, but maybe a little more detail on the back could have been nice. Secondly, with the model shown in the final screenshot, his trousers have some clipping errors when you run. It's nothing that’s going to end the world, but is a small bug. The author didn't forget the team skins, and they are too stunning. Although not significantly different from the base skins, they clearly represent the red and blue aspect with different coloured helmets, belts e.t.c. The only aspect missing now is bot support, something I sorely miss from a great model/skin. I don't know if there's going to be a third version, but if there is, please add bot support so I can have samurai wars ;) New Sounds: Yes Team Support: Yes Bot Support: No ~Szico VII~

-[ZoU]- Zone of Ultima Fortress
But! We all know there are exceptions to that generalization and in my opinion this is one of them. This map is cool! There are so many things to explore and the rooms have their own cool sounds and what not. I particularly liked the underground portion of this map, the sounds and fog and such fit so well in that part. There were however some FPS problems in some areas but this was quickly forgotten about while I was running around looking for the secrets and such. This map has a cool \"music room\" where you can change the music over the entire map. There was a problem with one of the choices for the music, I guess the song was renamed of not packed in the .pk3 or something because it said it couldn\'t find the file. Still quite a good map though! In the readme it says there\'s a spawnable NPC that you can fight by pressing use on a clan logo somewhere, I didn\'t get the chance to try to fight him so I can\'t tell you how to beat him =). All in all quite a cool map! It has tons of new shaders and textures and nifty doodads that you can play with. I hope to see more than clan maps from you El Cuko. Good WOrk!

Darth Malak Version 1.02
(I hope that\'s right, if not, I shall keel Rhad) is finally modeled and added for Jedi Academy players. I have no idea what he really looks like, but this model is so non-descript, I kinda hope the character doesn\'t really look like this. The red team skin is the same as the default skin and then there\'s the blue one. There are some new taunts and other sounds included and bot support, though the author claims there are some issues with adding a bot. The biggest issue I came across was the saber. This model holds the saber and swings it much like that old Mandalorian model - remember that? It really bugs me. I would only suggest you download this model so you can offer suggestions for some changes to the author. Otherwise, wait for an update.[/quote] Looks like the author fixed a few things on this model. The eyes aren\'t so dark, and some weighting issues were corrected.

the original model, more of a subtle change, but it makes a difference and makes the model more appealing for me, any way. HapSlash has also changed the team versions from the all blue/red armour that Raven used, and just highlighted select area’s of the amour, and for me it’s an improvement on the raven team colours although personally I would have used a darker shade of red/blue. HapSlash has also kindly included a new E-11 blaster which again adds a few new subtle changes and improves the appearance of the blaster. I should also mention that both the E-11 and the Storm Trooper model replace ravens original models. ~Wolf New sounds: No (Ravens sounds are used) Bot support: Yes (Ravens bot support is used) Team colours: Yes

Edition. The modelling work here is fantastic, the model is detailed, high-poly and well made. The texturing work is also excellent, with plenty of textural detail crammed in there as well. Bear in mind of course that this is the Ultimate Sith Edition version of Starkiller's saber hilt. This is the hilt he uses if he turns to the Dark Side (as far as I am aware) and the hilt is styled accordingly with some spiky appendages and an overall sharp and painful look about it. As I said Houou has done an excellent job of modelling this saber and what is more he has also included both a normal and backhanded version of the saber from which you can take your pick.

He has also done this with single-player and MP bots in mind, and has also changed the animations for every other NPC that comes with the game. Thats a fair amount of work to his credit, but it didn't come out quite as polished as you might like. There are several clipping issues with the models, and don't expect to watch the SP cut scenes with any sort of sobriety (hey, I thought it looked funny okay?)

deliver on that. Instead, you get a bunch of katana-like swords that are all similar to each other with a few slight differences, such as Kenpachi's sword, which has a broken down and jagged blade.

I'm not 100% about the lengths of the blades, since blades on swords always look off to me even if they are right for some reason... Skin-wise, it's pretty simple work, but accurate to what they are supposed to be. The shaders on the weapons help take the attention away from the simple skin. Couple that with the fact that you prolly wouldn't notice while playing anyway, and you've got a pretty good sword set here. You know the drill, give it a download if you like it!

Clone Wars Stances and Effects Mod
JA+, MBII, and OJP support. Now, about the stances themselves. I like the blue stance, which is basically the normal standing position, but with the saber pointed off to the side. Walking uses the same basic stance, but with the legs moving. Yellow holds the saber close, and red looks like it is trying to imitate a certain stance in Episode 2. Dual stance holds one saber forward and one up above, and finally, the staff stance holds the saber back behind the body. Walking stance for the staff looks like the upper half of the body uses the staff walking animation, but the legs use the duals walking animation. Walking stance for duals holds both sabers back, and learning forward, which I think is perfect for duals while running, but doesn't work so well while just walking... If that isn't enough for you, there's also an option to add in some new swings. I personally don't like these much, simply because while they looks kinda cool (though they suffer from the typical animation mod flaw of it not flowing like it should), they cause less hits to get in. However, I liked being able to do that spin attack that Palpatine uses. :p I'm not going to go into the specifics of the changes, but I will say that pretty much every attack is changed. The best way to tell how is to download it and try it yourselves! All in all, this is a good stance/animation mod. It could use a little work, but still worth at least trying out. I suggest giving it a download! Oh yeah, this mod also overwrites the base sabers also, so if you don't want the default ones changed, you'll need to edit the pk3 yourselves...

OJP Enhanced Unlimited
folder. - Sabers Last I checked, there were no visible limits on how many sabers you could actually have, but I guess I may have been wrong or I simply never had that many sabers. Even if you were under the limits, though, only twenty or so appeared on the list and the console was necessary for the others. With JA Unlimited, virtually all sabers will appear on the menu (obviously it's not really unlimited, but it may as well be) and there ceiling limit on how many you can have has been turned into the roof limit - 'tis much higher. Higher than I was able to reach with every lightsaber, sword, baseball bat, axe, halberd, polearm, voulge and God-only-knows-what-else I could procure from JKFiles. Since saber switching via /saber only appears to work in JA+, this is great for anyone not using these mods, since you no longer need to know the .sab designations to load your sabers. - Maps Again, you can usually have as many maps as you'll need, but now they'll all show on the menu so that you don't need to open pk3s in Pakscape/PakRat (shout-out for you Maccies out there ;) ), find the bsp name and use /devmap to load your maps. Great improvement in my book, helpful for those who don't check map pk3s by default, or don't know how to. - NPCs Now, this one you did have a limit on, and that limit is basically kaput. You can now have as many NPCs as you'll need - again, I'm figuring 65535 being the ceiling limit, but you'll probably never reach that many - without that pesky ".npc extensions are too large!" error in multiplayer. Score one for no annoyances! - Vehicles Oh yeah. Now we're talkin'. If you're like me and enjoy going to town with some serious vehicular manslaughter, again, this is the mod for you. No more .veh extensions errors, and the error with .vwp files (which were still at factory limits in the last release) is now fixed, so you can have as much firepower as you need in the base folder. - Models / Skins Considering the game can hold as many models/skins as you can use, I always found it kinda dopey that there was a limit on the amount of icons, but that limit is now gone. - Species Selections The limit was previously 32. Now, it's... what is it again? 65535 or something like that? Ain't that quite a resume? [b]Disclaimers[/b] ► This will [b]not[/b] work in the singleplayer game - source code for the SP DLLs was never released. Strictly MP only, sorry folks. ► Naturally, SP won't work at all if you're over any limits, so basically, my advice: don't put mods in base, make a seperate mod folder for this and dump your files in there, then launch this mod via .bat file. That way you can have as much as you need in MP, without shafting SP. ► Limits are there for reasons, as Kat Angel quite rightly states in the readme. Even though this mod means the game won't object to extreme amounts of mods, please try and factor in how much the iD Tech 3 engine can handle, and how much your computer can handle. If you have too much in your base folder, your game will take ages to load. The more you have, the slower it gets. The less RAM your computer has, the slower load times pass. The slower your CPU, the slower load times will be. You also risk your computer randomly shutting down, restarting, or random crashes by having more than the computer can handle. So, basically, if you never use it, don't keep it, 'cuz the more you got the more strain your system takes. Please note that since this is the OJP Enhanced version, installation instructions differ somewhat to the baseJA version. At Kat Angel's request, the install instructions will be added into the review. [b]-Installation Instructions-[/b] Easy! Simply open up the zip file and dump z_ja_unlimited.pk3 into your ***ojpenhanced*** folder (not base), and optionally include thumbnailshrink_ojp_enhanced.pk3 or thumbnailshrink_more_ojp_enhanced.pk3 with it. If you place the file in your base folder, it WILL NOT WORK with OJP, and may cause base JKA to behave strangely. (Most likely, that means "to crash.") Then start up JA, and you're done! [b]-End Installation Instructions-[/b] Right, safety warnings and summaries out of the way, I think we're done here. Overall, great mod for you "pakrats" (no pun intended). If you play OJP Basic and like to use a lot of add-ons, this is a sure-fire winner. ~ Kouen

Spiderman skin pack. Of course, I don\'t mean to make it sound as if I am upset over this submission. :p The default skin is Spiderman as you would expect: In his red and blue suit. I had only two concerns with this skin. First, the lines don\'t match up at the seams in a lot of places, and second, the skin seemed too bright. Other than that, nicely done. The blue team skin is none other than the Venom version of Spiderman, called Symbiote in this pack. From a distance, the dark part looks paintbucketed, but up close, you can see the texture on it, which is the same base texture of the default skin, minus the colors and lines. I have no real problems with this skin other than the obvious one of Vemon not being that small. I am not completely sure what the red team skin is from, as I am not so completely deep into the Spiderman storyline that I know every single appearance that is made. After a brief search, however, I found that it is supposed to be Ben Reilly, aka Scarlet Spider. Had I paid enough attention to the readme, I would have seen that. :p The skin is good enough, though it lacks a hood that the original character appears to have had. The texture on it, as well, could use some work, as at first I thought it was a sweater, not a jacket, like the character actually wears. As for the logo, while it is a spider one, it\'s shape isn\'t the same as the ones I have seen in pictures of Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider. The clothes seem to be a bit bright as well, but I am sure that most would overlook that. The next skin in the pack would be the skin labeled 2099. The texturing on this one seems decent, but again, I thought that the skin could use a little darkening. The face texture is a little off, but not enough to really bug those who aren\'t extremely picky about this form. It is missing the spikes on the forearms, but that is a model problem, not a skinning one. The \'armor\' skin in this pack is what appears to be a desaturated form of the default Spiderman skin. Nothing to say about that one, really. Next up is another form of Ben Reilly\'s suit. This one is like the original Spiderman suit, but has a different logo on it, and has completely blue arms and legs instead. The skin fits the character quite well, I thought. I had no real issues with this one, not even with brightness. And now for the Spiderman 3 Venom. This is the default Spiderman skin, the blue turned black, with the red turned gray. It fits the movie\'s version well. There\'s really not more to say about it than that. The next skin is called \'Stark\'. From what I have read, this suit was made for Peter by Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. That would explain the colors, orange-red and yellow. The skin matches the character well enough, of course, but the yellow on the arms seem to go a bit further than they should, and the yellow on the legs seem to not go quite far enough. And, as with other skins, this one seems a bit too bright. The final skin is the Unlimited Spiderman. As with the other skins, everything seems to be in the correct places, and done well enough. However, I thought that the logo on the chest could use some work. Something about it seems a bit off, but I can\'t place my finger on it. Also, the skin could be a bit darker. From what I remember, this suit was a bit of a darker-than-normal one to begin with. I\'m not entirely sure if my memory is just playing tricks on me or not, but I seem to remember there being a slightly purple tint to the blue in this skin as well... Each skin is done well enough, but most had a slight issue with the logos on them, usually that the legs on them didn\'t tilt in just the right direction. That isn\'t a huge change, but sometimes the smallest changes could be the most important ones. Most of the skins did not seem to have very well defined muscles, like I had found in most of the images I looked up for references. This is an important one, if you ask me. Finally, again, a lot of them could use a little darkening... This pack also has bot support and new sounds, though it lacks NPC and SP support, which I found a little disappointing, since they are things that are rather quick and easy to do for someone who is willing to put so much into a pack like this. Overall, not a bad pack. Not the highest quality skins I have seen around here, but far from the worst. If you can overlook this pack\'s few flaws, then give it a download.

Darth Vader Alternate
should be. So what's new with it? Well, take sometextures off of Basel Kran's Vader, put em on HS's Anakin, and add in sounds from Neomarz's Vader. Then, remove Anakin's hair, and burn his head a bit. The end result will be this suprisingly well-done reskin. The only problem I really spotted was that the skin behind the ears is black, which it shouldn't be, that and a line going down the back of the head from where the texture doesn't line up... Included also is NPC and Bot support, as well as the Ep. 3 saber that was included with the HS Anakin model. Anyway, good job, Marden, but I'd like to see some more changes next time. :p

vJA Kill Tracker
does.But, it does have some bugs. It does play music from an internal media player, or winamp, which I like, but that\'s not really a bug. I get an error when I do the !kills command, or when I try to get \"help\" after loading a playlist. I also encountered several \"File not found\" errors. One thing: You don\'t need to do /name or whatever-command-it-is-that-I-forgot-because-I-don\'t-use-killtrackers. This detects what your player name is through the use of sending three or four fs_game commands. This does spam up your screen just a tiny bit, but it\'s not that bad. Silencing the kill tracker automatically enables echoed feedback. Although when I did the !pause command it actually \"chatted\" the message. But the big thing here is that we have something new, and while buggy, looks very promising. One really cool feature that I saw was support for a webserver stat tracker. Now that\'s cool.

Prophet Clan Map
be. You start out in a nice little arena area, one which you stay in during a TFFA. Yep, that\'s right, no running around trying to catch people in tffa\'s now! You\'re just in one area, and the area where you spawn is protected, so you don\'t *have* to go into spectator when you\'re afk. Anyways, that area has two ways you can go, one leads to a room with a health \'\'kiosk\'\' (It\'s more of a stall, thing, but I wanted to say kiosk.) Then on the other side is a black mirror. That means you can\'t see anything until you get really close to it. And now for the center part of this room, there is a teleporter. And what does it teleport you to? A flight area. One filled with miniature tie fighters and bombers. Okay, on to the other room. This leads you to a hallway, which leads to several other areas. One is a training area. This consists of pillars with spikes on them that damage you, so you need to dodge in and out while attacking. Then there are various dueling rooms. There is also a nice outside \'\'garden\'\'. It\'s nice to have an outside place to go when the rest of the map is inside. And there are also some cool secrets. One is in the council room, another is easy to find. Heh, I got the grand tour, so I\'m special. This wasn\'t a bad map. It was rather nice, in fact. If you really want to see if you like or dislike this map, then download and test it. Although I would\'ve liked to see bot support and new music. New Music: No Bot Support: No New Textures: Yes New Models: No ~Zach

Combat Evolution
all of the sabers that you now have countless ways to change your saber fighting style. And what mostly was changed had to do with the damage and speed and even the specials/katas that you perform. I\'ll just quote the author on the changes: [quote] ARBITER: desann style kata changed to dual saber spin attack force protect not usable dark rage not usable RETALIATOR: attack speed slightly increased damage slightly decreased CONSUL: damage reduced significantly movement speed increased attack speed increased lunge changed to hilt bash (can knock people down) ADEPT: damage reduced slightly attack speed increased kata changed to dual saber kata PRAETOR: movement speed decreased significantly knockback scale added kata changed to \'hurricane\' attack SENTINEL: movement speed increased significantly attack speed decreased slightly damage decreased slightly yellow dfa changed to dual butterfly attack small knockback scale added ADJUDICTATOR: changed the yellow dfa to not jump so high and move forward a bit more. Break parry bonus added lock bonus decreased significantly DEFENDER: attack speed decreased slightly disarm bonus increased kata move changed to dual saber spin attack FIREBRAND: lock bonus decreased parry bonus decreased movement speed decreased slihgtly attack speed decreased slightly break parry bonus significantly increased lunge attack changed to a powerful stab attack damage increased GUARDIAN: knockack scale added butterfly changed to dual saber butterfly AVENGER: splash radius increased attack speed decreased kata move changed to yellow kata VINDICATOR: damaged reduced significantly attack speed increased significantly kata changed to dual saber kata CHAMPION: damage increased by ALOT movement speed decreased significantly attack speed decreased significantly kata changed to red style kata force absorb not able to be used force grip not able to be used VANQUISHER: transition damage increased damage scale decreased significantly large knockback scale added kata changed to \'huricane\' attack[/quote] This should keep you guys busy for a while. Play with the different combinations for wielding dual sabers. There\'s quite a variety here and while I didn\'t try each saber, I\'m sure the differences in each one are enough to make it feel almost like a new saber system. ~AmosMagee

Duel of the Fates
area. The hangar opens out to a perfect view of Naboo which really looks good! The architecture reminded me alot of the movie (which I guess is the point ;)) very clean brush work and very nice lighting! The Reactor complex is equally amazing, very neat work and looks so cool it's almost real! I loved how the Reactor core things faded away into the darkness, compared to other maps this seemed to look much more natural. The 'duel room' where QuiGon and Maul fight also follows the same above pattern of 'goodness' :D. Nice lighting again and the very clear textures definitely made the room MUCH better than anything else I've seen. (Well overall, the textures were very well done and if they weren't half as good I doubt the map would have been the same) Another cool thing: the colour of the brick walls is kinda reddish. But if you like the yellowish colour (like in LivingDeadJedi's map) then there is a pk3 file that you will need to extract also that does this. Lastly, there are also two maps in here. One is an FFA map (FFA_DotF) and the second is a duel version (Duel_DotF). The Duel version is basically includes the room where QuiGon and Maul fight. I found this view by mistake, but I thought it looked pretty cool!

Korriban Holdout
themed maps, probably because the texture set is well defined and has plenty of textures to choose from, and the architecture is fairly simple yet looks cool and you can get a nice eerie Sith atmosphere with the careful use of light and sound/music. While I don’t think the music for this map fits particularly well (its the MP main menu music) the author has done a good job with the sharp and angular Korriban themed architecture, which has improved nicely since his last Korriban themed duel map. Being an FFA map there is also quite a lot to explore here with the winding passageways and sets of stairs leading here and there giving the impression of a hive. I especially liked the cracked wall, which can be destroyed to reach the chamber beyond, though I was a little disappointed to find that I could have just walked into the chamber from the other side if I had just gone around the corner! Cracked and broken walls like that are best used to point the way to a secret area rather than an easily accessible one, but it was a fun little feature nonetheless! There are a few features which don’t fit with the Korriban theme however, one of these is the trees in the courtyard, Korriban is a volcanic desert wasteland, and as far as I know doesn’t have any trees. There is also a pool of water under a glass section in the floor in one of the rooms, to be honest I think any Sith Lord living here would much prefer lava instead! Lastly the statues with the blue crystals are Jedi styles statues and again the blue theme doesn’t really fit Korriban/Sith architecture which works much better with reds and yellows for the lighting. Overall though this map fits the Korriban theme very nicely and has some nice architectural features, though there are a few bugs that need squashing. One being in the porch entrance to the courtyard, if you look up though the skylight you can see the edges of the brushes which face the top of the porch entrance, since the backs are invisible, but the sides are textured! One other one is in the topmost room the cylindrical patch 'ring' which is meant to be the edge of the circular skylight is invisible, all you need to do though is go into GTK Radiant and go to curve → matrix → invert to make sure the textured face is the right way round! Apart from those and a few other very small niggled this is an excellent FFA map and TK-962's skills continue to improve at an impressive rate! I’m sure we will see more cool maps from him in the future! :) [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]New Music:[/b] No [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, TFFA ~Nozyspy~

Boss Nass
the \"boss\" of gungans. We could see his debut back when Episode I The Phantom Menace was released. Now onto the model itself. The model is well made and resembles the character almost perfectly. All the most important details were nicely carved onto the mesh, including straps on the coat aswell as spikes on the eyebrows. Face looks spot on, although he has this \"angry\" look to him, maybe it should have been more neutral? My only real complaint lies with the fact he\'s not as... chubby as he\'s supposed to be aswell as a few clipping issues here and there but I guess that can\'t be helped considering the engine limitations. Textures are very detailed, especially the head and feet aswell the the pattern on the coat. Shoulderpads, hands and the golden necklace seem a bit blurry but I guess it\'s not that much of a problem. There\'s really nothing else I could pick on except for the arms of the coat being a slightly darker shade than the main portion making the arm-torso connection area seem a bit weird. As a cherry on top, the model comes with authentic sounds straight from Episode I, so you can expect the famous \"BLRBLRBLRBRLBL\" aswell as \"Wesa give yousa una bongo!\". Well then, what are you waiting for? Give this great model a download, you surely won\'t regret it. New Model - Yup Sounds - Yup Bot /NPC Support - Nay Team Support - Nay ~The Denariax

Cloned Starkiller
however, take exception to those [i]ridiculous[/i] boss fights and the way that the camera goes into such a fixed position that your controls somehow get all mixed up, you press right and you find yourself going in the opposite direction that you expect to be going in and you end up not having any idea where you are going. Whoever was in charge of developing the boss fights for TFU should have the hounds sent after them! >.> But I digress! I am looking forward to seeing how the story progresses in The Force Unleashed 2, but until then the aptly named TFU2 brings us his take on the Cloned Starkiller that we have so far had but a few glimpses of. This skin uses as its base Hell Kobra's Starkiller model and I have to say that overall it isn't too bad. It does indeed look like the few pictures of the Cloned Starkiller's and his clothing that we have so far seen. However, the texturing needs quite a lot more work. Many of the textures simply don't fit properly over the model and when you look closely they look quite 'mashed up'. I'm not a skinner, so I don't know how one goes about properly matching up all the textures, but I do think this skin needs some more work in that department. Not to worry though, the author is still new to skinning and I am sure he will continue to improve with every skin he releases! :) The skin does include team skins (although the player icon for the default skin seems to be missing?) which are differentiated by the cloth hanging from the belt (being either red or blue). However this is another area which needs working on, as the parts around the cloth that should be transparent, aren't. This means that there is a white outline around the cloth where it should be transparent. Again though, this is decent work from a new modder and I look forward to seeing more from you in the future mate! Keep on improving and maybe bring out a v2 of this skin! :) [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]Bot Support:[/b] No [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes ~Nozyspy~

The Dark Forest
small house. Imagine invisible walls being there to prevent you from leaving the roads. One road has ends that drop off the face of the earth, and the other has a cave that leads to an underground arena. That would be what this map consists of. Not being able to wander freely through the forest really bugged me, and the edges of the map abruptly ending didn't help things, but otherwise I really like this map. The atmosphere is just my style, and it's all pretty well built, although the teleporters in the arena could have been a bit more obvious as being teleporters. I walked right into one without knowing that it was a teleporter. Also, there's really no way to find the path leading to the house unless you press up against the invisible walls until you find it, but even then it isn't guaranteed. I tried that method and didn't find it. The teleporter to the house was the only way I even found out about that path. Anyway, good map, if you ask me. A few changes and it could easily be a great map, though! If ya like it, you know what to do. Game Types: FFA, TFFA New textures: No New sounds: No New music: Yes New models: No

Hirman's Ahsoka Tano
move the file queue, so here I go. What we have here today is a new model to our collection. Not just a random model though, it's Ashoka Tano, Anakin's Apprentice from the recent Clone Wars Animated Series (the 3D ones, for those who spent last year under a rock or something :P ). Because it comes in 3 variants I'll try to describe them one after another. The first one is obviously, the default one. It shows how Ashoka looks in most of the episodes, with her normal bra-shirt, gauntlets, skirt, leggings and leather boots. As much as it comes to accuracy it looks pretty decently. The model could use some work still, because some parts are inaccurate. For example there is complete lack of gloves, even though Ashoka had gloves that were a part of the gauntlets. Another thing is head, which looks a bit too square, but that could be just me. The second variant is the same as the first with the exception that it has a backpack. The very same one in which Ashoka carried Jabba's son in the movie. The backpack looks nice and accurate so there's nothing else I can say about this one. Finally the last one, which is hooded version of Ashoka. She carries a cloak with a hood that covers up her lekku and bends in the same place where lekku bend, so that's a good thing, since I've seen a few Twi'lek hooded skins with hoods that didn't form as they should because of the lekku. Sadly, the hood suffers from a bit of clipping in animations (you can see head stick out on the back of the hood aswell as it's sides) while cape is as stiff as on VaderVM. That would be all when it comes to this variat, now time for a bit of criticism on texturing.. or maybe lack of it. The whole model seems to have the textures photosourced from many images that could be found on google which makes it look well, not up to the "good" standard. Photosourcing shouldn't be done unless you know what you're doing, in this case I can safely assume the person wanted to finish it fast, but it turned out as it shouldn't. The "textures" are blurry, you can see straight away they were copied and they lack accuracy. The face is the biggest issue really, beacuse of the photosourcing, it looks stiff, unreal. The lekku Have pretty much no shading or detail at all, cape suffers from the same issue. The leggings have wrong color, they were white with slight addition of pink, not pink as the author made them. I suggest looking into those details if V2 is ever going to be released. Overall it's a good start, but in my eyes it's more of a unfinished product, fixing up the problems would really give a lot of love to this model and surely get more attention to it. As a side note I'd like to add that there are also team skins and new sounds, so don't worry. Last thing I've got to say, is that the author suggested using Ashoka's lightsaber hilt made by Ashura, so if you want a "complete experiance", I suggest you grab it :) Now please submit some bandwidth if this model fits your taste.

Prince Vegeta
LEVEL!! IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!111".[/quote] And look what we have here! It's already done. Impressive. Vegeta was probably my favorite character from Dragonball Z just because he was such a BAMF and such a jerk to everyone, and now you too can be a BAMF and a jerk to everyone with Sibeyle's model! =D The model comes with two versions and two subversions of each version. In simple-speak, that means we have armored Vegeta normal and amored Vegeta Super Saiyan, and unarmored Vegeta normal and unarmored Vegeta Super Saiyan. Basically what Super Saiyan is is the original but with blond hair. Yes. Their hair turns blond when they power up because us blondies are just so powerful and cool. The models themselves are somewhat disappointing when compared to the Cell model pack, especially the Perfect Cell model. They're blocky, somewhat lacking in detail, and they very easily distort when going through the basic Jedi Academy animations. The skins have the same problems as the models - blockiness, lack of detail, and prone to distortion. It looks like Vegeta and it looks good at a glance but upon closer examination they're not all that great. The skins are extremely simple and while they get the cartoony feel of Dragonball Z across they just don't look high quality. The skins look rushed just like the models. However you have to take into account the fact that no Vegeta model's been released before. There have been attempts to morph Goku models into Vegeta but those didn't really go very well, so this man is a pioneer! Chances are we'll get a version 2 from somebody. The best thing about this skin is the sounds, hands down. The PK3 contains an impressive array of Vegeta quotes, grunts, and insults, but these are NOTHING compared to one of the quotes. Yeah, I think you all know what I'm talking about. The author has included, as quote1.wav, Vegeta's most famous line in the entire Dragonball Z series.

Better Game Effects
we have a mod that changes various game effects, including some of the projectile effects for the weapons, the saber blades, and also some new sounds. First off, it is easy to see that the saber blades have been changed; they now look much more like the ones in Episode 3, longer, thicker and pointier (careful, you might poke someone’s eye out with that thing! ;)). The saber also has loads of new sounds, which sound like they may have come from the original Jedi Knight game. Personally whilst they don’t sound quite like the movie sabers, I do prefer these changes since they sound much more deadly and visceral. The projectile effects for some of the weapons have also been changed. The Bowcaster now fires red bolts as it does in the films, instead of the traditional green that it has been in the Jedi Knight games and the repeater also fires red blaster bolts instead of the small round white bolts it fired before. Personally I prefer the red blaster bolts that the repeater now fires, I think they fit better with the weapon somehow. But that’s just me. There have also been some changes to the force lightning, saber lock and saber deflection effects, though in my limited time testing the mod I wasn’t able to try out all the new effects. One nice feature though was the new splash screen that displays when the game first loads and also when a map loads, I [b]much prefer[/b] this new one to the Base JKA one, it looks great! :D Added to that there is also a new background for the drop down console. All in all this is a cool mod here, and a welcome addition to the library of effects mod’s that we have here on the site.

Futurama PC Pack
with this show, it's on Comedy Central. If you want more information on the show's main plot, you can find it here: [b][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurama"]Futurama[/url][/b] The first thing you'll notice about these models is the cel-shading. For those of you who don't know what cel-shading is, it's basically a technique used on skins & models to make them more cartoonish perse. As you can see, these models look just like the actual characters from the show. Cel-shading was actually a very good idea for this model pack because It gives you the feel of actually being in Futurama. Or is that just me? The first model in the pack is Fry. Fry is the main character in the popular show, and if you've watched Futurama from the beginning, you'd know his full story. The author did a great job on the textures of Fry. The cel-shading definitely added to the amazing features. Fry actually comes with two versions: With his jacket, and without it. Both versions are very good, and I didn't see any real problems with the actual model. The next model in the line-up is Bender. Unfortunately, I think the author made a boo-boo, because you can't change to the model in-game due to an unsupported model error. I'm sure the Author can fix this in a version two, but meanwhile, you'll all have to suffer through the fact that you can't play as Bender with this pack! >_> Last but not least, we have Leela. Yes, the cyclops with two ya-ya's and one eye! Strange, isn't it? Oh well. Anyways, once again, the author did a great job on this model. My only problem with Leela is when you look up, the back of her head looks squareish. Now, I'm not sure if this was intentional, or something you couldn't really fix. Although, I'd like to see it have more of a round look in a possible version two. Besides, when was the last time you'll saw a person walking around with a square head? Lately? Nope. Ah, I almost forget the sound files! You'll also notice that the taunts are quite funny, and are quotes directly from the show. I would tell all of you what they are, but I wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise now would I? Also, there's a hidden npc in this model pack, and it's none other than Lars himself from [i]Bender's Big Score[/i], the first Futurama movie. I'll leave it to all of you to figure out the npc name.... Overall, this is an awesome model pack, and the cel-shading makes it so much more like the actual characters in the show. I'm pretty sure you'll all have hours of fun playing as Fry, and Leela! Unfortunately, as I said, Bender is unplayable at the moment. Hopefully Ambrom can fix the model file in the next version. This is definitely worth a download if you are a fan of [i]Futurama[/i]. [b]New Sounds:[/b] Aye [b]Bot Support:[/b] Aye [b]Team Support:[/b] Nay [b]NPC Support:[/b] Aye (Also a secret npc) ~Syyrax

Peter Parker/Unmasked Spider Man
face looks pretty much nothing like Peter Parker. However, at least the soundset will fool you into thinking it is. The three versions that come with this skin are: Regular Clothes, Spiderman Suit(no mask), and Symbiote Spiderman Suit with no mask. These skins can be found in the species section. All in all, the skins aren't bad at all. I would suggest working on the face primarily, but after that, A NICE USE OF THE JADEN MODEL.

[CONTEST] Yuuzhan Vong Death Duel Arena
before. This arena is designed to look partially alive. The purple tint is a big aid in this, as are the doors built inside the rock walls...they look like heart valves or something. I wish they wriggled or opened...I'd love to see what's behind them. Oh yeah, that purple skybox is incredible. Anyways, the arena is made of rock, and I think it's the perfect size for a duel. There are a few boulders in the middle, and off to one side there's a small entryway/cave bored into the rocks. Inside this area, there are a lot of orange glowing orbs covering the walls. I'm not sure what to think of them, but they add a very errie look to this particular spot. Then we come to the...thingies. I have not the slightest idea what to call them...they're dark and scaly, and look almost like they should be alive. They have many short "arms" reaching upwards and there are orange, glowy lights on the tips. Whatever they are, they litter the map in random places. I had to study them...they look very interesting, and they add a cool touch to the map. Of course, some Yuuzhan Vong expert will come along and link me in the comments to a full definition, I'm sure... :p Lastly, we come to the music. This map had a really interesting track to it. It sounds like it's a little too intense for JA, but when you consider the highly unusual and alien atmosphere, it adds a touch of fear to the map. Overall this is masterful work. There could be some minor changes/improvements, but they aren't necessary. It's good as-is!

Apollyon Stances & Animations
Blasphemously idle and irritating to Averus. - Backroll was a typical backflip. Nothing too showy. I had a mod similar to that, but it had side rolls as well, which this one lacked. - Blue stance was the most amusing, because it seems like the player was about to swing wildly whilst screaming: \"OH JESUS DON\'T HURT ME >_

KOTOR Flight School Final
where opposite teams spawn on different bases, fly out, and try to destroy the other base. I was impressed by the hangar bays, where the doors would actually open when you went close to them, and how there were some nice bomber bays in the imperial base. Although…I was disappointed at how biased this map towards imperials. To destroy the rebel base, you can just attack the big tanks on it, which are easy to hit. For the imperial base, you have to fly inside the base and hit little tiny targets. And there isn’t that much flying space either. But other than that, my biggest complaint was that if you leave your ship while within space, you fall. You don’t die until you reach a certain point, you just fall. Another thing is that this map uses (in likelyhood) JA+ animations, or some animations that I didn’t have, because when I died I would sometimes go into a T pose, and I was running a clean base folder so I could use all the vehicles. I liked how this map included several different vehicles you could choose from. (which are interchangeable) I also liked how you could control turrets within the map. Imagine CTF games on this map…those could be fun… with a moderately populated server. There are several things in this map that need improving, like the things I mentioned, but I still liked it a lot. Oh! I almost forgot! When playing in BaseJKA, whenever I attacked and destroyed part of a base, it would broadcast a message using underscores. Encompass the message in quotes, and you shouldn’t have that problem. It might not work, but then it might. Bot Support: Yes New Vehicles: Yes New Music: Yes Gametypes: FFA, TFFA, CTF ~Zach

Nina - Genesis
advances. However, it didn\'t quite tickle me that much. I will start by saying that this was a well-developed SP mod, and it shows given the conviction of the team responsible for it. The voice actors were decent. I only played a little fraction of it, given time constrictions, and from what I\'ve gathered, the cutscenes were voice-acted. On terms of the actors, most were decent. I say decent because most didn\'t seem to emote enough. I felt as if I were trapped within a world of teenagers, rather than a HORDE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OLDER AND HAVE BEARDS! Now, the storyline revolves around a secret abandoned imperial project that \"Nova Unit\" has been assigned to. Nova Unit, in turn, assigns it to our protagonist. I believe the unit was mentioned in the previous chapters, so play the previous to understand their malevolence! On a theatrical note, allow me to say this: I wasn\'t pleased with the sudden plot-twist so early. Granted it\'s an important one, but it seems WAY too early to just bring that in. It would have seemed appropriate at a more key location instead of an apartment. Also, what was the point of the stormtroopers? Random people just attacked, seemingly guarding no one important. I don\'t know, perhaps just for target practice...*SCYTHES a stromboli trooper* I just didn\'t see the point at that time in the story. Overall, I suggest you all offer a prayer to the download god so that it may grant you this SP mod. This mod was rather entertaining. It also reminded me that the SP AI is much more smarter than I remembered... Download if you hate humans or if you want to kill time in SP. - Averus Retruthan

Ancient Outpost
be able to find each other! This map is huge, perfect for large free for all, and it's just beautiful. Mixed with indoor and outdoor areas, both the various corridors and the mile-high rock faces are wonderfully done. The outdoor areas are bright, but not brighter than you would expect given the overcast sky. The meshed walkways connect various buildings, leaving many places to potentially fall to a gruesome death in the lava below, and the rocky skybox perfects the atmosphere. To add to the somewhat industrial feel, large pipes stretch from one building to another, so [i]if[/i] you fall you might be lucky enough to land on one of them. And boy do those pipes look stunning. I've never appreciated plumbing quite so much before. The inside is a mix between an industrial atmosphere and a more medieval one. The walls are mainly stone, lined with crystal-like lights, but some more advanced technology makes an appearance, such as control panels, lighted bridges, and some very neat looking mechanical doors. The lighting hops back and forth between white lights and blue lights, occasionally accompanied by a red glow from some lava. The really neat part about this map is how varied the architecture is from one area -- or even one corridor -- to the next. You'll rarely feel like you've been in the same place twice, but somehow the map still holds a sense of unity of style. Both the lighting and architecture vary enough to keep the map continuously interesting, and there is no lack of details, ranging from arched bridges to warning signs. A good word for this map would be [b]complete[/b]. It is very much complete, with very little lacking or that could be significantly improved upon. Even botrouting has been included, which is a must-have for a map as large as this (I can imagine some great bot matches to be played here!). Definitely a must-have.

Episode 3 Anakin
and I've seen worse ones. Yes, I'm talking about the model. This is a skin, so I'm just commenting on the model choice. It's not bad. The face looks a little bit better than the average face I've seen on most Anakin models. The rest of the texturing, however, is average. Looking at it I can't really see anything that makes it stand out from most of the other Anakin models out there. The hair is just as weird as the rest, the face is just as blurry (unfortunately that's what you get when you photosource) and the clothes are just the same color. By this point in the game we're just getting minor tweaks of the dozens of Anakin skins out there already. This one's definitely not bad, but unfortunately most of them look to be just about the same to me. Maybe I've just seen too many of them... However I suppose that's saying something good. I've seen bad Anakin skins and models, and this isn't one of them. Just one thing about the original model. It deforms fairly well all around... except one vertex. If you look at the right shoulder area in ModView during the animations you'll see it. Unnoticible for the most part, though. Enjoy![/quote] I'm no expert on skins, and the previous review summed up the skin pretty well, so I'll just comment on the alterations in this version. The face fits the model's skinmap better now than it did in the previous versions, and the facial expression also seems to have been changed. This is good since in the previous version, he looked quite absent-minded. As fitting as that may be for Hayden Christiansen, I'm sure Anakin Skywalker isn't so scatter-brained. ;) The torso has been reskinned from scratch for this version, as have the arms and hair. The whole outfit is accurate to the movie, and the reskinning work on the torso and arms is an improvement over v2. The hair looks rather flat in ModView, but judging from the in-game screenshots provided, as soon as you get the skin into JKA you won't notice. These faults are all minor, so they don't detract from the overall quality of the skin. You wouldn't even notice them unless you were specifically looking for them - I had to scrutinise pretty closely to see anything at all. The good points are far more in number than the bad points, but if I commented on them, I'd just be repeating what the previous review said. A few nice extras have also been provided with this version. Movie Battles II support has been included, as well as HapSlash's Anakin hilt. Maestro Obi also threw in a custom blade mod he's made. This is a high quality skin, and a worthy addition to the average SW nerd's collection. Unless you're a perfectionist, or just don't like Anakin, I don't see any reason not to give this one a download. ~ Kouen [b]NPC Support:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Support:[/b] Yes [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]Other Extras:[/b] MovieBattles II Support Singleplayer Customization Saber Blades Mod Lightsaber Hilt [b]NPC Spawning Codes:[/b] /npc spawn anakin /npc spawn anakinsith

Hotel Coruscant
originally made to the Movie Battles mod, you can tell by the fact that as you run round you may run across some objects that have a health meter but having never played the Movie Battles version, I have no idea what they do, if anything. I am very impressed with the features of the map, there is a lift which takes you between the floors, although if you are not quick enough you can get stuck in it. If lifts aren\'t your style you can still take the stairs Id say this would make a good role playing map, Even the size of the map doesn\'t affect Duel and PowerDuel game modes, you will always spawn on the roof giving quite a decent duel area. My only gripe with the map is the lighting level on floor 10, it is just that bit too dark, this was probably relevant when the map was in Movie Battles. The map doesn’t have bot support, which is understandable; you can’t teach old bots how to use new lifts All said, generally a very good map.

need to be to tell you how accurate a clone model is. They all look the same to me! There are probably several little details and nuances that I don\'t notice, nor will I ever, because I simply don\'t care to know that much about any character in Star Wars. Well, except maybe Han Solo. Who, by the way, totally shot first. Aaaaaanyway, this is a skin of the Clone Trooper by Izzy. Izzy always makes great skins and these skins are no exception.

though you can't really tell from these screenshots. You're just going to have to download it and see for yourself. The Gray Fox model really was the best choice for this skin. There is bot support and team support included for this skin, but no new sounds. *gasp* How can this be a gift to the community if you don't complete the skin!? Sounds for this skin are really easy to come by so I totally expect an update to this skin sometime soon. [/quote] Elandain thankfully read my review and decided to send in 2.0 complete with sounds! The skin had team support before, but I didn't take screenshots of what was there (or maybe there was no difference, I don't reall). The team skins are simply all red or all blue. And the colours seem a bit muted, but they look good. The sounds chosen are straight from the movie and work perfectly.

Ninja Mod
is an incredibly bloody mod. So if that\'s not your cup of tea, steer clear of this. Otherwise, download it and play it a bit - even with just a few bots. It\'s a great mod. Usually when I test something, I just play for a few minutes, but I spent a good half hour testing each weapon and I had a lot of fun playing it. Quite a few things have changed. You have no force. But trust me, you won\'t miss it. The game focuses on melee and weapon combat. There are some great new special moves for melee and for some of the weapons. There\'s this one move with one of the star thingies, that is just a lovely spin move. You have to see it. Not sure there\'s a screenshot down there of it - but a screenie wouldn\'t do it justice anyway. The HUD has completely changed - for the better. There are no pickups, so there\'s no point in running from your enemy. You can throw your weapon, so if you\'re a good aim, you could probably chop someone\'s head off in one toss of a blade. This is a great mod that revives JA somewhat for me. If you\'ve grown weary of the same old sabering, give this mod a shot. It might breathe new life into an old game for you. :) ~AmosMagee

No new sounds, but hey - this is Plo Koon. Record your own if you really need them that bad ^_^. Only beef with these skins (and I\'m a huge Mars fan, ever since he skinned the stormtrooper as Plo Koon) is that the Dark Jedi and Red CTF are the same. But Mars has all but outdone himself on this model (which looked rather difficult to skin anyway). This all but completes the Jedi Council - including Mace, Yoda, Kit, Coleman, Ki-Adi...but missing is Saesee Tin and Bultar Swan.

Royal Guard Pack v2
dog95\'s bot support for said skins and bringing them over to JKA. Now dog95 is back with an update which adds an interesting Single Player mod. I should point out that you should only use one of the .pk3 files included here, as one of them is just the compilation mod from last time and the other; RoyalGuardWithDarkside.pk3 is the one that mods the singleplayer side of the game. What the SP mod does is switch round the characters in singleplayer, so that Luke becomes a Shadowtrooper, Kyle becomes Carnor Jax, Stormtroopers become Rebels and Cultists become Jedi. I suppose you could say it makes it like you are at an Imperial or Dark Side academy as opposed to Luke\'s Jedi Academy! Well, that’s it for the updates, so below I will paste in my original review from last time around about the original mod! ~Nozyspy~ [quote]Ever fancied pitting your wits against some Royal guard bots, maybe even spawning an army of them to fight? Well now is your chance!

If you want to use these skins in singleplayer there are console commands included in the readme that you can use to change your playermodel in SP. Not only that but dog95 has also added HOUOU\'s Katana Pack for that extra dose of realism!

Halo Plasma Sword
Compatibility Addon 1.3).pk3 to your JKA base folder![/b] Everybody loves Halo, apparently. Unfortunately for me I have never actually played any of the Halo games, except for a brief playthrough of the demo version of the original Halo, so I I am not that knowledgeable on the franchise. I do know when I see a cool weapon mod however, and this one here is definitely under that category! ;) This here is a [url=http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Type-1_Energy_Weapon/Sword]Plasma Sword[/url] from the Halo games, how the sword is supposed to work, I don't know, but it looks damn cool. ;) This mod is a much improved version of LukeSkillz previous Halo Plasma Sword mod which was reviewed almost a year or so ago. As you can see from the screenshots, this is nice and glowy. But curiously the glow doesn't come from a dynamic glow shader on the sword itself, but rather from a texture/shader, which mimics the effect of dynamic glow, thus eliminating some of the problems the author was having with this, as explain in the readme. The effect looks really good and I think this was a very impressive feat of ingenuity from the author. There is a sword for every saber colour, so although the original halo Plasma Sword may only come in blue, here you can get them in all of the normal saber colours. There is also a lightning type shader that shimmers over the surface of the blades to give them that extra edge (if you will forgive the pun :P). There is also another small, but clever addition, you will notice that instead of the classic JK Saber logo on the loading screens, it has been replaced with the silhouette of the Halo Plasma Sword instead, which I thought was a nice touch. There are some bugs that still need to be ironed out however, for instance, when swinging the sword, you still get the saber trail behind it in whatever colour your lightsaber usually is, which doesn't really fit with the sword at all. Also, if you use the sword in staff mode, then part of the saber trail will appear frozen infront of the sword when you swing it, which is rather annoying. The saber trail definitely needs to be removed completely with this mod to make the swords look better when used. This is only a relatively minor bug, but it is a bit annoying since it is visually quite obvious. Either that or make a new saber trail to better fit the swords. There are still a couple more neat features I haven't mentioned yet though. One is that the saber icon on the weapon menu at the bottom of the screen has been replaced with an image of a Plasma Sword, although the text still says lightsaber (it would be cool if this could be changed too). Also there are some fantastic new sound effects, electrical crackles and throaty hums which fit perfectly with this mod! It is also great that this can be used with both JK2 and JKA, although be sure to include both .pk3s in your base folder when using this mod for JKA. As I said above: [b]There are two .pk3s included in this .zip, the HaloSword (v3).pk3 is for JK2 only, if you want to use this in JKA, you will need to include BOTH the HaloSword (v3).pk3 and HaloSword(JK Compatibility Addon 1.3).pk3 to your JKA base folder![/b] Overall this is a fantastic weapon mod and a must have for Halo fans!

The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition - Lightsaber Blades
blades look like in The Force Unleashed? Well I have no idea since I have not played it yet! I'm still waiting for it to come out on the PC, not long left now! :D These blades are obviously meant to resemble the saber blades from TFU however. From what I can tell, the only major change since the last version is that the tips of the saber blades are now more rounded instead of being pointy like in the previous version. The famous black and white lightsaber blade also returns in this mod. How a black blade can emit a white aura is beyond both me, and the laws of physics. But hey it looks cool and it is Star Wars! ;) The only problem with the black and white saber is that it replaces the orange saber, so if your favourite saber colour is orange, you might be disappointed. As for improvements I think the main things that need some more work are the tips of the blades because if you look closely you will notice that it looks like the very end of the blade has been clipped off, leaving a straight line right at the tip. This looks a bit odd close up, but should be too much of an issue generally speaking, but its always good to hunt down and fix those bugs! I'm glad to see more The Force Unleashed mod's here and I hope to see more in the future (although I would definitely like to see some TFU themed maps!) but I do think this mod needs some more work to polish it up. ~Nozyspy~

show, so I can't say I found any major flaws. However, from what I saw a few minutes ago, this model's accuracy is spot on. The hair is good, the clothes were 100% accurate and his sword is strapped onto his back. Too bad you can't pull it off and use it...that'd be the bomb. Even the icy cold stare was included... *shudder* Aside from not being able to use the sword, The only real downside to this was that there were no new sounds. Ichigo sounds like *grunt* *grunt* *wheeze*. Kyle is the farthest thing from that. Aren't there any english versions of Bleach out there? The pk3 did include the sound folders, so I'm not sure if there won't be any, if they're coming out in the final version or if the author forgot to include them. No extras were included.

TFU Push V2
command This mod pleases Authuran. As a fan of The Force Unleashed, I have been wishing someone would make the push from it into our beloved game. And we have it. Not a perfect replica, I will admit. The push from the game sent out some crazy purple and blue thing from it. Yes, thing. I can't think of any other word to describe it. Anyways, this mod is great for people who love to use the force, people who love to spawn NPCs, and people who just love seeing other people fly away at incredible speeds! This mod certainly pleases Authuran. Not before have we got a super-push-new-effect-new-animation mod that can live up to this one. Certainly a high quality replication from the game, and from what I could find, only one bug. In singeplayer, if you try a melee move, if you end up picking up the person and throwing them, the NPC will fly at incredible speed, even if you don't use push on them. But if you make a version 3, it would be fantastic, especially if it didn't modify melee combat, and if you could make that crazy purple and blue thing that flies out of his hands when he pushes someone. I have no clue if that is possible as I am not an effect maker, but if it is, it would be nice. I recommend this mod, certainly no typical waste of hard drive. Enjoy. ~Authuran

Good Jawa
are they even ‘good’? This is a paradox indeed… Never mind, there is plenty of time for paradoxes later! :P Here we have a v2 of GoodJawa’s earlier ‘Good Jawa’ skin, which was reviewed by Dretzel late last year. For this version it is good to see that GoodJawa has fixed the issues mentioned by Dretzel in his review, such as the textures not lining up on the back of the clothes. He has also included two other skins to make this a skin pack; Evil Jawa (an evil Jawa, of course!) and Young Jawa (based off one of the Jawa’s seen during the scene where Owen Lars buys 3PO and R2). The Evil Jawa and Young Jawa skin unfortunately don’t have team variants, which I would like to see if there is a v3. But the default Good Jawa skin does have team skins however. As I said above, the textures on the back of the skin now line up nicely, which is a big improvement over what it was like before. The skin is fairly simple, but I actually really like the stripy pattern, especially on the red and blue team skins. The red one kinda looks like Dennis the Menace, only in Jawa’s clothes! My favourite skin was the ‘Young Jawa’ one though, as it really did look like the character from the film (there is a comparison screenshot in the .zip file). I do think though that this skin needs the yellow glowy eyes back, as they are just grey as they are on the other two skins, to make it even more authentic to the film version. I do think there is some room for improvement though, especially with the Evil Jawa skin. This is basically a much darker version of the Good Jawa skin. Personally I would like to see some extra features which make it look that bit more evil. Perhaps some glowy red eyes or maybe a Wookiee pelt on his back to make him look more crazed and dangerous! Also, it appears that some of the sound files do not work, as indicated by an error message that comes up on the console in game. Overall though a good improvement over the previous version, and a decent skin pack here. The ‘Young Jawa’ skin was especially good I thought. These skins could still do with some more work though, so I look forward to seeing what you make next GoodJawa! :) [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Support:[/b] No [b]Team Support:[/b] Yes (Only for the Good Jawa skin though) ~Nozyspy~

At last, I can use the ultimate Marek model to unleash my ultimate TFU-hulk-smash! NOW WITNESS THE PO-... aw, #*@!, I've already used up all my Garen Marek-related bashing on the other skins, models, and files that I've reviewed. I'm all out of material. Blegh, I guess it's directly on to the review. I'd just like to say before anything else in this review a personal note to HellKobra: TIE UP YOUR DAMN MODELS. There's dozens upon dozens of loose little miscellaneous parts on this model, from little boxes on the arms to straps on the torso and legs. Honestly, group the tiny little individual model parts together into a 'Leg' or 'arm' instead of just leaving it all separate like a jumble of Lego bricks. Not that it affects the ingame play in any way, it's just a all very confusing for us skinners to look at in the .skin file or in modview. I'm also guessing that if you grouped them together before weighting, then the actual weighting process would be easier since you wouldn't have dozens of things to connect to one bone. /endnote Now, the things that concern all of you little people. It's a fairly well done model, very accurate to what we all know little Mr. Marek to look like. We have the perplexing overabundance of leather belts, cloth strips, and torn clothing that the actual TFU model all bears. I don't understand why, but he chooses to dress like this. The skinning is all well done for the most part; it looks good, however it's not spectacular. More detail could certainly be put into the textures and make it look a bit sharper. Everything for the most part is just slightly blurry. Shrug. That's not to say there aren't little details because there are, such cuts beneath the ripped fabric or the blast marks on his metal collar thing. The face is done well and looks very much like Mr. Marek, but again we have the blurriness issue. Despite that however it is the highest quality skin of Mr. Marek that I've seen. Team skins are included, however they simply change the color of the loincloth that hangs down (I don't understand the loin cloth though. He wears pants. What's the point of it?) 2 new taunts are included however that is the extent of the new sounds. Kind of disappointing, but perhaps those were the only quality sounds he was able to find. Overall a nice addition to your vault of Galen Marek skins and models. This is what, the 12th or 13th you'll be putting in your base? Team skins - Ja. New sounds - Ja/Nej (Only 2 taunts, so kind of... but not really.) Bot Support - Nej. NPC Support - Nej. ~Laam'inui

Telekinesis
various refinements that the author has made since the last version, the essence of the mod is summed up pretty well in the readme where the author explains: [quote] This Mod replaces force choke with telekinesis (Moving people around with your mind), makes people react in a cooler way when you force push them and replaces close range drain with choke.[/quote] After trying this mod out, I can say that I much prefer the new animations for enemies when you force grip (or Telekinesis should I say), they look much cooler and more cinematic. The same can be said for the new force push animations as well, enemies now look like they are being knocked back by a powerful force, rather than just falling over. I couldn’t quite get in the right scenario ingame to test out the new force drain animation, which is replaced by the force grip animation at close range, however. Altogether this a cool little mod, and considering that it makes enemies react more realistically to your force attacks and also makes the animations of such look much cooler, I think this is a mod I will be keeping in my base folder! :) Make sure to give this a download if you like the sound of it! ~Nozyspy~

Chronicles Total Conversion - Demo
rival MovieBattles II in terms of the scope of the mod. To explain a little further I think I should paste in a snippet from the readme, as I think it explains the mod’s purpose very well. [quote] Star Wars Chronicles is a Jedi Academy Modification that is being developed by the Chronicles Team since August 17th 2007. The idea is creating singleplayer missions that resembles to the six movies of the saga, something that many dreamt and couldn't do so far. We count with a huge number of members that are working to provide you the best quality and pleasure. MovieBattles Team, responsible for creating the famous MovieBattles II modification is supporting us.[/quote] Well, like I said, this is going to be one beast of a mod! Basically recreating the Star Wars sage in Jedi Academy! The demo they have presented to us here is just a taster of the good things to come. The demo features the beginning of Episode I: The Phantom Menace, with a faithful recreation of the Trade Federation ship. In fact, when I played this, especially the bit where Obi and Qui-Gon break out of the conference room, it reminded me of the old Episode 1 game. Man that brought back good memories! :D Obviously being a demo, some things aren’t fully realised yet, but that’s ok because what is in this demo gives you an excellent taster of the gameplay. The mod features a new HUD which is clean and simple and looks great and I was especially impressed with the start menu (the one that pops up when you click the mod’s icon on your desktop). From there you can choose to play either the default JKA single or multiplayer as well as the mod. But buttons are also there which will take you straight to the credits, or the teams Moddb page, Official Website or Official Forums! I personally thought this was a very nice touch, allowing you to jump to whichever site you want to see very quickly and straight from the mod’s start-up menu screen on your desktop. The menu screens ingame have also been given a good going over, with a new background and graphics and some great new music playing too. One particular aspect which I must commend the team on was the cut-scenes, which are very close to the films actual scenes, and also include the films dialogue too, which helps with the cinematic feel. Though this is a demo and doesn’t represent the completed mod, there are a couple of things I would suggest working on. For one I think the textures in the Trade Federation ship could do with a bit more texture and detail to them, since they looked a little flat in places. Also in one area Qui-Gon (you play as Obi) got stuck, and I had to try and continue alone. Unfortunately because of this I wasn’t able to play the demo right until the end, but I feel I got a good taste of what this mod can offer. All in all this is a fantastic demo and I look forward with great anticipation to the full release of this mod. I definitely recommend a download here, you won’t be disappointed! :) ~Nozyspy~

Mara Jade in Heir to the Empire Jumpsuit
pictures I could find it looks very accurate too! The model that has been reskinned here is HapSlash’s Gwethenea model, and personally I think Shadowknight has made an excellent choice here going with this model as it fits the bill just right. Moving onto the texturing job you can see that the author has spent a good deal of time here getting this skin just right. Like I said before, the skin is very accurate, especially of course Mara’s famous flame red hair and green eyes. There are also custom sounds included with the skin, though I am not sure where they are from. Though I suspect that they might be from Dark Forces II: Mysteries of the Sith. There are some things I think should be improved upon though, the main one being that there are no team skins. Team skins as I often say are an important part of a skin, and no skin or skin-pack fels quite complete without them. I definitely think then that some team skins should be added for next time around. I would also like to see a few different versions of Mara too, bundled up into a nice skin-pack. That said though, this skin is excellent both in the choice of model used and the quality of the skin itself. Added to all that we also have a brand new custom hilt; Mara’s own! This is also an excellent piece of work in itself and was contributed to this mod by Khaliban. All in all then, excellent work here, both by Shadowknight for the great new skin and also Khaliban for the new saber model. Combined this makes a must-have mod for all Mara Jade fans! So if you are a fan of Mara, or just like the look of this mod, then give it a download! :) [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Support:[/b]Yes [b]Team Support:[/b] No ~Nozyspy~

even knowing it. Why? Well, the model choice, but ignoring that, let's take a look at the skin. Wow, the skin actually looks pretty impressive until you get to the face. The clothes look like they have enough definition to tell that they are in fact clothes. The metal yoke doesn't look half bad, and just in general, it looks downright well-done. To preface, the author has admitted that he sucked at the face, and honestly, since he admitted it, I'll be generous enough to just say: "The face sucks, but at least he tried." So that's about it. The author included the ever-so-popular reverse hand saber by HOUOU, along with all the extras. A big thumbs up there. If you think you can get over the model's deformities and have fun with it, then by all means be my guest =_o. Bot Support:Aye NPC Support:Aye New Sounds: Aye Team Support:Aye - Averus Retruthan

Air kill train map
an enclosed area - with no bot routes, hence any bots added will just jump around - and your goal is to practice mid-jump kills. Imagine that! The map itself is simple enough to construct, sort of an in-out-wham-bam-thank-you-mam-five-minutes job. The 'training' aspect is basically achieved by not adding bot routes. Unlike other maps without bot routes, though, this map keeps bots confined to an area suitable for the training purpose. So, if you want a quick-and-easy environment to practice your mid-jump kills, this'll do the trick better than most. ~ Kouen [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Nope [b]Custom Textures:[/b] Zilch [b]Custom Meshes:[/b] Nada [b]Custom Audio:[/b] Nein

Korriban Sith Academy
features two generalized areas -- inside and outside. The outside portion is a valley, not dissimilar to all the descriptions of the Valley of the Dark Lords that we have out there. It\'s got valley right there in the name, after all! The terrain is pretty good, although there are many areas that are not smoothed which detracts from a realistic feel. The entrance to the main complex really struck me as unique. Scripts are used to create a compound door that opens in a very interesting way. In terms of gameplay, this may hinder gameplay as the doors open very slowly. So you trade playability for eye candy -- your call on whether that\'s for you or not. I found the architecture inside to be somewhat hit or miss. I originally thought that the textures didn\'t fit with the more modern architectural style, but after a while it grew on me. I do love the layout of the map, and it\'s big enough to support a decent-sized free for all. The architecture is also varied enough to avoid boredom. There are some small updates and some minor additions from the first version, but I\'ll let you read about them in the read-me as they do seem more detail oriented than content oriented. My biggest suggestion would be to work on the lighting. In some areas the lighting just seems fairly unrealistic (ie pitch black in the shadows outside, and the light from the flames seems far too yellow). Otherwise seems like a good map and I think with some more aesthetic updates it could really polish up well.

Katana Pack
shinobigatana and shirasaya. Then, to ice the cake, we have one sword to own them all - the dual masamune. Just a shame Jedi Academy\'s saberstaff style isn\'t good for this sword. :( Anyway, the models are all constructed well enough, the skinning job is good although I suspect a little photosourcing, the swords all shine well in-game thanks to a well-done shader. There\'s new sounds, although those grate on the nerves after a while. Single-player support has been added. New hit effects have also been added, which while not realistic, I love \'em all the same - just perfect for fantasy swords, and they sort of remind me of Onimusha. A nice little touch is that the saber throw in single-player is disabled while using these swords, and you\'ll get a kick instead. This fits the whole fighting style typically used by samurai, and let\'s face it, would you throw an elegant sword like a shinobigatana around? In multi-player, the throw is still present (unfortunately). If you like katanas, this pack is for you. You can even mod the NPCs to use them for some funfunfun. Just be aware [b]not[/b] to use these in a dark room with a high-end graphics card, max vid settings and dynamic glow. The hit effect can be... startling. ~ Kouen

TK-231\'s Special Effects Mod V1 Base
it first! I will say, first of all, that this mod comes highly recommended by Averus. It changes quite a bit, and just to irritate you even more, I will say this much: READ THE README FOR THE LIST OF CHANGES. Suffice to say, there are some that apparently he didn\'t mention. At least one Gran sound came from Dark Forces O_o which is ironic, because I\'ve been playing that. Anyway, I will mention one bug that I caught unwittingly. In singleplayer, the gunfire sounds don\'t seem to play for the changed weapons. Other than that, the mod\'s fine. I will point out that I love the sniper zoom sound O_,o it\'s quite malevolent, and I will definitely punch an unsuspecting child in celebration. Overall, my words do no justice to this mod. I suggest reading the readme, looking at the screenshots, and see if this would be of any use for you. If you use gun mods, probably not.

sounds much better that way =_=. So anyway, as if you can't guess at this point, these are in fact who you may have seen from the recent film(because no one seems to remember anything unless its in movie format these days ¬_¬.) However, these gents are idolizing their childhood heroes, so I can't chastise them yet =_,= I too enjoyed these evil turtles, particularly he who wielded the katana of darkness. Generally, the model itself is great, and I really didn't see any big problems. Probably one of Shady-D's best works I've seen in a while. The skins are done by lightsource, so naturally they're in the topmost condition of awesomeness. However, the TAUNTS DRIVE ME NUTS! AGAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH....seriously, though, the taunts are obnoxious, in my opinion. Why? Because all they do is introduce themselves.(Ex: "I'm Raphael!") I always hate a skin with those kind of taunts. While they did add more taunts to certain ones, those particular taunts grind into my central nervous system =_O+ Included with this pack are the turtleses' weapons, only three of which work. The Nunchaku literally crashes your game. I've done extensive testing, and got the same result. I'm not quite sure of the error, but my guess is either model/shader trouble, or the fact that a good number of the sounds on it are missing. However, I am not an expert in the field, so I cannot be certain. The rest work fine though, although the bo staff is annoying with a lightsaber hum. The models themselves, however, are good. Therefore, VICTORY. There is team support, but only for Raphael, who acts as the team support. Sufficient enough, if you ask me.

the Meteoroid games I am confident saying that this model is pretty much exact, and its obvious to see that the author has put a lot of time and effort into creating such a wonderful model, he has even skinned the little exhausts for the jetpack, something I was surprised at and delighted to see, its not often authors pay so much attention to detail and the textures all look perfect. The team colours are not really a surprise, the colour of the legs and arms change, it looks good, but I can’t help but wonder if it wouldn’t look better if the torso and helmet changed colour as well.

I've seen this file being worked on, the creators talking about it for some time in my travels on various forums, and these guys are very good at what they do. (look at the readme to see who all contributed) This has to be one of the best ones I've ever seen. The detail involved is spectacular. I'm not even going to go into shader use or anything else because there really is no point. You guys did an outstanding job here.

Highspeed Melee 3
you must put [japlus_gla_anims.pk3] with JA+ Mod. (Means you MUST have JA+ installed. Something I will NOT do) One more, a balance wasn\'t appropriate with multi-player. Therefore, some are being adjusted. Because a problem was found, fast stance was changed to new stance. Then, even a single-player can use a new saber stances. 1.Melee motions The number of frames of meleemotion and a speed were revised. Former back running was deleted, and the left kick and front get up were amended with multi-player. One back flip was changed with single-player. 2.Saber stances Saber stance of medium and dual was added newly, and fast was amended. 3.Melee effects Melee effects with single-player were amended. 4.Melee sounds Melee sounds were amended.[/quote] And here’s the previous review: [quote] Well, first off, this is a melee and animation mod, so it changes a bunch of animations! It has a MP and an SP version. It changes melee animations, and gives an optional saber stance change. However, the file size has been vastly increased with the fact that you can choose which things to have, be it just the saber stance, everything, everything but the saber stance, and what-not. So, we trade file size of customization. I\'m just going to start off with the new saber stance. It changes the stances for Strong and Fast styles, as well as Staff. It doesn\'t change the stances for Dual sabers, or Medium style. It does change the walk back animations, however, but only for fast and strong styles. Although with the way your players head moves to look at people, your head looks like it\'s going to twist off. Also, on ledges if you position yourself just right while using the fast stance, your character goes wild and you start to go into something that resembles a loop. But, you can get out of it by just going over the ledge. The run back animation looks...funny to say the least. It looks like the character\'s on a wheeled chair and is going all over the place. He really looks like he\'s sitting down. Now for the melee part. This does change the melee animations in JA+. For better or for worse, that really for you to decide. I did notice a small thing with the left and right roundhouse kicks (Hey, it\'s what I call the kicks when you do alt attack + W+ A/D). Anyways, the animation would have a brief pause after doing it, so your character would stop for a split second. One kick, I did like was the regular alt attack kick that was modified. I was disappointed that this didn\'t have more changed animations. This overwrites JA+\'s animations, so I\'m not sure if this will work on a basejka server. Now, for the SP version. From what I can tell, it has most of the features of the MP version, except for melee is sped up, and there\'s no saber stance changes. But, there is an added effect to the kick. It looks like a small explosion. Yay, now everyone seems to have either explosives or bags of blue stuff hidden in your shoes. This certainly took some time, so if you like it, download it.[/quote] ~Zach

The Legendary Goku
skin should have in order to succeed, when based off a non-original character which in this case, dare I say, is quite well known. Number one: The skin and model should actually look like the person who is on show, and that especially includes the facial texture. Number two: The model deforms correctly and can be selected from the menu. If a file has fulfilled these two criteria, I don't really care how many polies the model has - (hey, my PC can handle it. ;) ) unless of course it’s ridiculously high or ridiculously low. And, of course, when the model by chance also happened to be from one of my personal favorite anime shows, well, then, how lucky is that? ;) I think everybody here will recognize Goku from the images, at least those who have seen Dragonball Z on television. As I mentioned above, that’s a great sign. The textures aren't photo-realistic though, and perhaps are even a little low-res. But it still manages to work with this character because of its style. It's anime, where high-res textures aren't always key. And whilst some may disagree about the hair, I rather like it. It's modeled well on all three of this models forms (That's normal Goku, and Goku in Super Saiyan 1 and 3 transformations.) and I personally think that the almost flat-shades here are perfectly adequate. Now, I didn't notice any deformation bugs when testing, however the readme does mention that some exist, so that may be a factor to consider when downloading. I have a feeling that's probably only relevant in SP mode, which is supported by this pack, but I didn't test because...well, the JA storyline makes me want to hurt things. ;) The sounds were my only main concern - far too loud, and they're all practically identical, but at least they weren't Kyle. I also really liked the facial textures. There was a nagging feeling that they didn't look quite right, but when you wont see the character's face for most of the time when playing, a small personal nag shouldn't be very problematic, and if nothing else, this model is definitely the best Goku I've seen on this site, with the last version of Goku I saw being a rather crude reskin of the cloud model. So I do recommend this for Dragonball Z fans, and even if you're not a fan, you may still find this appealing. :D New Sounds: Yes Team Support: No Bot Support: No ~Szico VII~

Sith-J\'s Mygeeto FFA/CTF
;) Anyway enough of that! :P Here we have a brilliant new map from Sith J Cull, this is certainly one I’ve been waiting for, and I know quite a lot of other people have been waiting eagerly for it too. Now where to start? Lets start with the size first. Now this map isn’t as big as some of Sith J’s previous work, but as he explains in the readme: [quote] I wanted to do so much more with this map, but time constraints this year have made working on anything JKA related very hard, so I made this little CTF/FFA map based on mygeeto blah thats it! hope you like it.[/quote] Not to worry though, as this map is still a good size for a medium FFA and a nice size for a good CTF match too, which is mainly what this map was designed for anyway. I don’t think Sith J has made many CTF maps, there are only 2 that I know of and this is one of them. I used to play CTF [b]alot[/b] back when I played JK2, so I always enjoy testing out new CTF maps to see what the gameplay and map flow is like. I couldn’t really properly test out gameplay on this map, because…well bots aren’t exactly as good as humans! The bot routing was still very good though! What about map flow though? I think it’s very good, this map could certainly make for some interesting CTF matches. There are basically two ways to get to the flag bases. Straight through the middle from one side to the other, or over a little bridge that connects from the middle of the map over to the side of the flag base, so you can try and sneak in. To make things even more interesting, the bridge is protected by what can only be laser-bolt proof glass. ;) So you cant just shoot at people from the side as they’re running along it! The look of this map is great, more Base JKA textures have been used here than normal, but that’s certainly not a bad thing! The texturing of the map is great. My favourite bits were the towers over the flag bases, the architecture on them looks really cool! The hills and BIG chunks of rock jutting up (they look like something from the planet Krypton in Superman) look great, they really add a sense of depth to the map. The dust hanging in the air looks cool as well, though it would have been a bit better if it fell like snow, just much, much slower. But I suppose you would have to edit the .efx file for that or something, and it could take quite a while to get just the effect you want (I know that from personal experience ;) ). All in all a very nice map here, I hope to see this played on some CTF servers out there! ;) Just before I wrap up my final review here at JK3Files, Sith J wanted me to mention that he wasn’t able to spend as much time as he would have liked on this map. Because of real life things and the fact that he wanted to work more on his new Tatooine map, he didn’t get around to finishing this map off to as high a standard as he would have liked. He also says that he will be releasing some other maps this year that he has been working on for a while, including: The Tatooine style Mos Kreetle. Complete with underground tram system, a bar, and a space port with the Falcon (inside and out) docked, and Queen Amidala’s Starship. After that its Kamino II. Then his Stargate map. He also says that the JKA-G mod (which will bring Starwars Galaxies style gameplay to JKA) is in the hands of a new coder so although at the moment progress is at a stand still, things will pick up this year. Well there we go, this is one map that I certainly liked, and I’m sure lots of other people will like it too!

Coruscant Heights 2
If you've ever played JK2 Nar Shaddaa Streets. (My favourite level of the game) You'll instantly recognise the style used in this map. It actually looks like the author has directly used some of Raven's original map for jk2 to create this one, which whilst not that challenging, still looks good ;) And of course now it's Coruscant-texture themed, and not Nar Shaddaa. Of course, it does have a few small flaws, as well as a few not-so-small ones. Most obviously, especially from some of the screenshots, is the missing floor texture. Now, if this has been on a crate or something, I'd probably have overlooked it. However, when the entire floor of one half of the map is an ugly grey and white texture, you tend to notice it ;) Furthermore, the framerate can get a bit choppy sometimes, although it isn't in general bad. However, I can tell without looking at the included .map file that the author has failed to caulk many of his hidden surfaces, which immediately lets me know the framerate could have been so much better! :( I'm actually more amazed at the scope of this level, rather than the design. You'll need a Force 3 jump to get around most places, although there are a few trams and lifts which move you around as well. However, unless you're a full-force jump user, you won't be able to get around very easily. Oh yes, the doors. Very annoying. The author has forgotten to put a 'wait' key on his door triggers, and consequently when you press 'use', the door opens and closes too rapidly for you to get through. Overall though, the gameplay of this map is great - plenty of height variation and enough room for well over 32 players. I especially liked the fog-esque effect around the building bases. That just looks so good compared to a black drop-off that I will tip my hat to the author. Very nice. :D In conclusion, this map is very inspiring, although technically and visually there are some rather unpleasant flaws which absolutely MUST be fixed because as they are they're ruining the map. Oh yes, and there is no bot support, so I'm afraid the author gets a big black cross put by his name ;) Next time get them in there for Pete’s sake![/quote] So, here's the second version of the map, which, looking at the readme, has fixed a fair few bugs and other problems. Most importantly, is the texture problem which proved to be a fatal flaw in the original. As you'd expect, that issue has been fixed for this new version, so we can all get on and be happy. The map is essentially the same as the first version, there are no major design changes, although one of the cool cable cars has been removed, and there's a few new additions, including sounds for the doors and wait values. There were a couple of new errors I discovered this time around, and a few new things to comment on which I didn't notice originally. Firstly, there are now some caulked surfaces which that player can actually see, so what you get is basically an invisible wall in a few places (See screenshot 6). Secondly, is the texture usage. Now, I know that the author has prevented his textures from looking repetitive by breaking them up using other textures, but I think going a step further could give another visual boost to the map. Looking sideward, the textures are fine, but looking up and down, they repeat. Furthermore, when textures which are the same sit next to each other, and some of the windows have glows, it looks weird when the set of windows directly next to them has exactly the same set of glows. The new support sections and walkways are well created, but you need to create the flares properly, because, at the moment, they're 2D. Okay, all flares are 2D, but they're supposed to look 3D. This is done by making a light and giving it the following keys and values: [quote] key: _flareshader value: textures/flares/nameofflareshader[/quote] Furthermore, when looking into the crevices between some buildings, you can see half-cut window textures which really don’t fit. (Screenshot 2)There's also a small issue on that broken pane of glass in the building near the top of the level, where the author has not caulked the gaps where 2 pieces of glass meet, so it looks a little weird. Also, were those cars there before? I mean at the top of the level. They just don't look as good there as they do at the bottom. There are also a few uncaulked surfaces on the buildings, but I'm still loving that fog ;) Conclusion? It's a very nice map, which seems to capture the physique and scope of a cityscape very well. Gameplay-wise, it's also on a very level, with plenty of height variation and room to breathe. In order make this a brilliant map though, you'll need to really push your design ambition - don't just have square buildings, give them more detail, create some focal points and really bring it to life. Its a great design, but it can get quite monotonous after staring at it for a while. Make a focal point, and bring some more lighting contrasts into play to spice areas up a bit - some shadowed allies e.t.c. Overall though, a definite improvement over the first. Although, you're still getting slapped wrists for not including bot support. Honestly, it is such a good extra to have, and isn't particularly hard to implement! Oh yea, and is the inclusion of that custom skybox really a necessary addition - you can only see the top of it in game and there's plenty of JK3 skyboxes which would have worked just as well, if not better.

Duel Carbon JA
really isn’t ported from JK2, Darth Norman has built it from scratch! This is a really superb recreation of the original JK2 map. All the little details are here, like the steam coming up off the pipes, and even the pipes on the ceiling. However, there have been a few improvements. There are 2 switches in this map, one switches the white lights on and off (perfect if you want the map to have a more heavy atmosphere…just turn the lights off!) and one switch that raises and lowers the carbonite block in the chamber. That is probably not much use while your in a duel, but its still adds a nice touch to the map! :) There’s not really much else I can say about this map as it is only a small duel map. There weren’t any bugs that I could see, so all in all another very nice professional quality map from Darth Norman here! If you liked the JK2 version of the map, then I’m sure you will love this! ;) Bot Support: Yes New Textures: Yes New Sounds: No New Music: No Game Types: FFA, TFFA, Duel, Power Duel ~Nozyspy~

JA Enhanced Graphics
pretty though :) Basically, this mod takes almost everything in the game which is remotely natural looking (and even some player models) and gives them a super dynamic glow. You'll need a vid card which supports this function to use the mod, and you better have eyes which can take a lot of strain! I guess whilst some things look nicer with a glow, giving my stormtrooper SP model a big glow doesn't really work - and seeing glowing rock faces and grass doesn't really fit the bill either. Still, it is interesting to see how the game looks with the shader modifications, and if you like glows in general you'll love this :) ~Szico VII~

Yoda
fixed for JA or anything. Since I can\'t really find any differences, I was going to just leave you with the original model\'s read-me, but it wasn\'t very descriptive either. Oh well. I guess I can say a few things about the model, created by Team Yoda, since I can\'t figure out what\'s different between the two versions. The model itself is quite accurate. It even has Yoda\'s thinning hair. Since the model is the correct proportions, it doesn\'t fit on the skeleton really well, so some of the animations are a bit off, and the weighting was done very oddly. They did with what they had though, I assume. The shoulder areas don\'t seem to deform that well (though in my opinion that\'s the hardest area to weight!) and the back of the robe is weighted to a different part then the front, so there\'s some clipping of the front part of the robe into the back. The skin, however, is excellent, especially the face. This (or the original) is definitely worth your download if you\'re a Yoda fan. Just do us a favor.

heard of Sintra Messon, that's because it one of Mars' own creations! This model is by FAR my favourite female model ever. It's a female Mandalorian with 2 different models to choose from, one with a helmet and one without the helmet. What I love about the model is the fact it's an original character that could easily fit into the Star Wars Universe. Alot of detail here, and it's my favourite model in the pack. There is team support, bot support and NPC support for this skin, but unfortunately it doesn't have new sounds, The Second model here is the Serra Keto, she’s seen in the Episode III video game, I rented the game myself and I'm not a big fan of it, WAAAAY too short... but yeah that’s another story, lol. I liked Serra Keto in the game and now we can play as her in JKA, this model DOES have new sounds, the same sounds as the model posted on the site already, so the model is the best it can be now, there is also team support, bot support and NPC support here. Overall I would highly recommend you grab this pack, it's so good that even the guys will use the models, as well as the female gamers.

models. This first of three packs has the Master - Padawan team of Luminara and Barris Offee, They\'re both seen in Episode II for a short while and also in the Clone Wars cartoon series. Luminara is the first of the models, it\'s very a impressive skinning job and the face is quite accurate to the character. This model has not support, NPC support and team support, although the team colours aren\'t that different from the main skin it doesn\'t make much difference to the overall quality of the model. There are no new sounds however, but it doesn’t subtract much from the skin. Barris Offee is the next model, this is one of my favorite models in the packs, The skin is once again accurate to the character, I\'m not sure about what she looked like in Episode II so much since it’s been a while since I watched it again, but this is how she looked in the Clone Wars series. There is team support, NPC support and bot support, unfortunate about no new sounds though. An excellent pack, worthy of any Star Wars fan\'s download.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Weapons
first I was skeptical as to how accurate or detailed a mod like this could be could be. Boy was I wrong. Each and every weapon is finely crafted as accuratly as the author could, using only a teaser trailer as source material! The short of it is this, Final Fantasy 7 was a groundbreaker in '97. Now, this next year, Squaresoft is releasing a sequel movie to the game that they are calling Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children. Currently only teatrical trailers exist, which is where the author got the screenshots and designs from. Lets review the lineup shall we? Here is a weapon that has been done over enough times to make me sick: the Buster Sword. In fact, I am sure that it has been done over in every game to use any sort of melee weapon of any kind. With each revision the author would forget the shine, not put the holes in the blade, forget one small detail or another. This revision has nothing wrong with it whatsoever. He even fine-tuned the wrap on the handle of the sword. Second we have Vincent's Alastor. Vincet was a rather dark, somewhat vampiric charachter in the original Final Fantasy 7, who weilded a wide variety of pistols. Given, the weapon does seem to fit Vincent's personality, even more so with the crackling lightning, but I do not know why the author protrayed it as a veapon of this particular charachter. Perhaps he has inside information on FF7:AC than the public does not? ;) The 4-Point Shuriken was the choice weapon of Yuffie, a ninja/thief. My only dispuite with it is that when throw, it spins on its axis instead of normally like a throwing star. The Masamune. The weapon of Sephiroth. Most likely, the most legendary and well-known bad guy in video game history. The Masamune can be weilded normally, using all three styles, or backwards. When weilded backwards, the game reverts to staff animations and movements. Now we hit three weapons that I am shady on. First we have the The Double Sword, a twin-bladed katana that can also be weilded backwards. The Velvet Nightmare is interesting, its a combonation of a small cutlass and a pistol, even though it does not fire with this mod. Though that would be something nive to see in later revisions. The Dual Hound also eludes me. It seemd to be a close-quarters melee weapon that does kinetic damage on impact. The author has cleverly adjusted the hit animation so that the each hit looks like a repeater grenade detonating. Finally, there is Cid's weapon, the Spear. This weapon isn't fancy, but its accurate, and a solid hitter. Much like Cid himself. Another small thing I noticed is the skin used to demonstrate in each screenshot. This skin, though just a reborn model, is also a charachter hinted to in the FF7:AC video. I would like to se it released as well as a full weapons modification pack later on. Hell, you could get away with making a full-blown mod out of this! Great Job! New Sounds: Yes New Models: Yes New Textures: Yes New Animations: No Known Bugs: None -Sared

pixel. Opening the face mask reveals an evil, synthetic-looking face, with eyes that seem to be missing/bloody, or glowing a very dark red. My personal opinion of the model is that it looks like it would be a very powerful character if applied to the Star Wars universe in any way, but as I have no experience with Metal Gear Solid, I do not know how powerful it actually is. The taunts give it an even more evil feel to it, especially the one that says "Hurt me more!" In terms of detail and quality, I give it a 11/10.

retouch the model a slight bit. There were only about 3 key changes made to the model, namely in UV mapping, several model parts, and some skinning. Arco redid the arms and legs for the model, and Cheshire provided a new helmet for Vader to use. To those already with Vader, this is a completely seperate model and will NOT affect the existing Vader model. It is simply being provided as an update to the model. I did away with LOD model support for this model, i am sorry about that but i felt was necessary, and plus i just felt too lazy to create LOD\'s right now. heh[/quote] A collective effore by sithlord-II, Cheshire and Arco, Vader 2.0 is just as great as it\'s predecessor.

seen Darth Boogeyman\'s hilt before. Interestingly enough, it seems rather humble, and could easily be mistaken for a Jedi\'s hilt. A very rounded design, with a bell emitter, this thing is pretty nice to behold. There\'s not much in the way of color, very basic chrome, with the only deviation being the red activator button. The only attempts to make it decorative are the pommel band near the bottom and a strange engraving around the top of the weapon. All around, this weapon is pretty well made.

Skinned off of Hapslash\'s infamous Anakin model, I gotta say this guy looks really ugly. Not quality ugly but character ugly. I don\'t know what it is with Bioware and disfigured Sith Lords(although that seems to be a trend all throughout Star Wars as well,) but this guy\'s face looks like he tried to shave with his lightsaber one afternoon and paid dearly for it. Now that\'s what the actual character looks to have done; the SKIN, however, seems to have taken it to the next level. It looks far more severe, and it looks like it was just delivered. It reminds me a lot of the saber scorchmarks that show up on characters in singleplayer. Otherwise, does it look like the character in question? Eh...not really. Just looks like a sith anakin with mandalorian chest plating and interesting wrist gauntlets. All in all, it\'s not a terrible first skin, but I reckon a lot of face work will need to be done before it looks anything like the guy in those pictures.

Darth Bane
don't get to see things from the perspective of the bad guys in such a detailed manner, and his character has been developed much more than most other Sith characters. Thus, I am glad to see a new skin of him today! Using one of HapSlash's models and some textures from Spanki's Sith Customization pack the author has added the face of Darth Bane, with those distinctive markings (tattoos?). Personally I think the clothing looks a little flat (maybe add a shiny shader to that chest armour?), but the face is brilliant, menacing and expressive and is a dead spitting image for Darth Bane . The skin even comes in three flavours; normal, robed, and hooded, although I am dissapointed that only the normal version is available via the skin selection menu, for the other two you will need to use the /model command in the console; so either /model Bane/Robed or /model Bane/Hooded. Personally I think all three should have been accessible from the skin selection menu, just for the sake of ease of use (not that I am being lazy :P). The other thing I think could do with being added are team skins, like I keep saying they are always an important part of a skin! Nevertheless though, good work here, its good to see more characters like this immortalized in mods! :D [b]New Sounds:[/b] No [b]Bot Support:[/b] No [b]Team Support:[/b] No ~Nozyspy~

Double-Cross on Nar Shaddaa
please note that you will have to open the console and type "map zurvan6" to load the level. It's a remake of the first level in Jedi Knight, titled Double-Cross on Nar Shaddaa. Or, at least, it's supposed to be a remake of that level. Right off the bat, when I spawned in the level, I found that things looked far different than they did in the old game. Having a Reborn attack me first thing didn't help either. Running through the level, I found that some parts of it matched the source quite well while others did not even come close. It almost makes me wonder if the author really had any experience playing the level, or if they just watched someone play it and decided to try to remake it. Some of the enemies and rooms were correct, but the addition of Sith to the level sorta ruined it for me. I was looking forward to a level where I wouldn't have to use my saber. On a final note, I don't know what the purpose of including the IG-88 model was, as the droid doesn't seem to make an appearance in the level... [b]EDIT: Apparently he does show up, but when I played through three times it he didn't show at all.[/b] Anyway, if you're expecting an exact remake of the first level of Jedi Knight 1, then this level isn't for you.

Galen Marek's lightsaber + New Animations
haven't played The Force Unleashed too much, only on other people's consoles because I never bothered to get a 360 or the Playstation 3 :(. But from the looks of this it seems accurate enough to Starkiller's lightsaber hilt. I mean really who ever gets that close to the lightsaber hilt where they can actually tell the difference? I know I don't. Nevertheless, this is nicely accurate to Starkiller's saber, and not to mention it comes with an optional pk3 to make the hilt use the staff stance, so it appears as if he is using Marek's moves himself. This has no bugs that I can tell, so +1 on that. Secondly, there is lots of detail, right down to the little button's on the grip so +1 on that also. Thirdly, there is a handy pk3 that makes it so we can use the hilt more like it was in The Force Unleashed so +1 on that. In conclusion, this hilt is definitely base worthy for those of you that enjoyed The Force Unleashed and I know will stay in mine. Enjoy. ~Authuran

Mustafar
Star Wars fans waited thirty years to see, since there have been rumours and legends about the fiery volcanic planet where Vader gets roasted ever since the Original Trilogy was made. It is also perhaps one of the most difficult locations to make a map of, because of its distinct character. I think though that Plasma has pretty much nailed it here though! There are two maps in this pack, an FFA version and a Duel version. The duel version of course is a little smaller and also features Padme’s starship, which isn’t in the FFA version. The most important part of Mustafar is of course the [b]lava[/b] and good looking lava is surprisingly difficult to make. I am pleased to say that the lava in this map does indeed look very gloopy, hot and ‘lava-ry’, perfect for roasting Anakin! ;) I was particularly impressed with the lava falls and the lava bursts which jet out of the lava streams occasionally, which looked great. All the main movie areas are here bar one. That’s the outside of the facility where the collection arms are. However the collection arm is still featured, but in another part of the map. What is more, when you destroy the control panel in the control room, disabling the shields, the arm will eventually break off and float down the lava river, just like in the movie – including the bit where an eruption dumps a load of molten lava onto the collection arm! Other areas include the conference room, plenty of corridors, walkways over the lava and some storage rooms, as well as the main control room, which I mentioned above. The FFA map is a perfect size for a medium to large FFA, though I did feel that the Duel version was a little large for a duel map. Really I think the duel version could have done with being somewhat smaller, perhaps concentrating on just a couple of main areas. I also would have like to have seen a full realisation of the cliff area on which the mining facility is perched as well as all the collection arms. Lastly, I think Padme’s starship in the duel version could have done with a little more work, as it looked a bit out of proportion. Apart from those issues though, this is an excellent map, which once again displays Plasma’s impressive mapping skills. This is definitely one of the best Mustafar maps I have seen and I would recommend a download, especially to anyone who is a fan of Episode 3! :thumbsup: [b]New Textures:[/b] Yes [b]New Sounds:[/b] Yes [b]New Music:[/b] Yes [b]Bot Routes:[/b] Yes [b]Game Types:[/b] FFA, TFFA, Duel, Power Duel ~Nozyspy~

Deviant Mandalorian MK II
for an uninteresting review of a review. [quote]Mmmmmmm... Mandalorians. I tingle with delight at the opportunity to review a Mando'ad file, especially one as good as this, and by a friend of mine at that! I'll be! I'd also like to note that we had some difficulty getting this file on to the server, and I eventually had to transfer it to JK3files using FTP server-server transferring. I tell you this because I want all of you out there TO KNOW ALL OF THE HARD WORK I GO THROUGH FOR YOU. Kay, on to the review. What we have here is a skin based off of this deviant, hence the name Deviant Mandalorian. It's a rather popular concept of a Mandalorian, being the subject of many skinning attempts by different people including myself. It is, quite obviously, an Imperial-esque Mando. Diablos did something special with his version, however. It's a very nice skin. Even without the shaders piled on (Which add to it) it looks great. The actual textures are fairly simple. Mostly just white armor, though the shaders really add some depth to it. There are lots of different options, which you can access via a SPECIES CUSTOMIZATION MENU. YES. I know you're just as excited about this as I am, considering the fact that we all 'love' these customization menus. It also means you get to use him to kill Rosh in single player which is always an upside. The different customization options range from 3 heads (One normal helmet, one with electrobinoculars, and one unhelmeted version where he wears a sexy ninja mask), multiple torsos, and 2 different jetpacks or no jetpack at all. New sounds are included, and they're pretty cool, though I have no idea what they're from. My favorite part about them is that you have the static 'Kssh' 'Kssh' at the start and end of each thing he says, which really adds to the effect that it's coming out of a helmet or commlink. If you want a scary imperial Mandalorian to hunt down rebel scum as, submit your souls... I mean... download this file![/quote] The biggest change in the Mark II are team skins. The blue and red team skins look sufficiently intimidating and look nice with blue and red glowing visors respectively rather than a green one. My only problem is that if you're playing in a team environment that may not be visible enough. Maybe add a couple glowing marks elsewhere for easier visibility. Also included are more customization options! You can now also choose one of the team skin heads, or a head with the binoculars pushed up onto the forehead of the helmet, as though they're not in use but still there. Another notable change is a fix that makes only the armor shiny now. Some may have noticed that in previous versions even the cloth on the jumpsuit was shiny; well, no more! I don't know quite what else I can comment on. This is in short (Well, shorter than my already short review) a solid improvement over the original version. Team skins: Yes. Bot support: No, but nobody uses this anyway. NPC support: No, and nobody uses this. Single player customization: Hell yes. New sounds: Indeed. ~Laam'inui

Qui-Gon Jinn Customization
a cool character. Therefore I am most pleased to be able to review this mod! :D The model that has been re-skinned is Toonces Qui-Gon, and each customisation category; heads, torsos and legs contains a huge variety of different choices. These include scary looking grey skeletal Qui-Gon parts (including a head with glowy red eyes!) various combinations of facial hair and hair colour and also Obi-Wan and Count Dooku’s faces placed on the Qui-Gon model. The Qui-Gon / Obi-Wan mix in particular looks really good! There are various different coloured robes and also ones with different patterns, belts, detailing and such as well as a choice between cloak and non-cloak versions for each. These include camouflage robes and one eye popping-ly colourful set of robes, among many others! The same is true for the legs, featuring a wide array of colours and different styles of boots. Just have a look at the screenshots below, they give you a good idea of just how many options you can choose from. Along with the customisable options, this pack also comes with a selection of pre-made skins. These include the scary grey skeletal Qui-Gon, with ripped robes and glowing eyes he looks like something you would se in your nightmares, or perhaps on the front of a Metallica album! There is also a version with a blue face and white hair, along with nicely decorated greenish robes. This guy is apparently an R.A. Salvatore character called Drizzt Do’Urden. I have absolutely no idea who this character is, but he looks like something straight out of Lord of the Rings! There is also a cartoon style Qui-Gon skin, which is one of my favourites. Personally I think this type of cartoon style skin should be done more often, perhaps with Anakin, Obi-Wan or even Luke or Kyle skins. All the skins have new sounds, often different from each other, including good use of some of the Ragnos sounds for the scary looking Red Faced Sith Qui-Gon. Textures from other authors have been used, however Jashugan has also modified and made many textures himself and overall the quality of these textures is excellent. Considering facial textures that were not designed for this model have been used, the author has done an excellent job in fitting them to the Qui-Gon model. This is a very well put together mod, and I did not find any bugs whilst testing it. However as for things to be improved upon; I would suggest that if there is a v2 of this, more choice of legs should be added, especially different styles of boots. I also think that some more torsos like the one on Drizzt Do’Urden should be added, perhaps with different patterns and colour combinations. There are also only two team skins, so I think team skins should also be made for the other pre-made skins available from the main menu. All in all this is an excellent customisable skin pack, and an added bonus is that it has Single Player support for [b]both[/b] JKA and JK2! Considering the amount of options available with this pack, you could spend ages just making cool looking character combinations as well as using them ingame. ;) In fact, all in all there are 32 heads, 32 different torsos either with or without a cloak, and 17 different pairs of legs! I definitely think this file is worth a download, and I look forward to Jashugan’s future work!

Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise
Emperors best troops were defeated by a bunch of rock and stick wielding teddy bears… In fact, according to Wikipedia this is a common feature in action films, the principle is actually called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormtrooper_effect]Principle of Evil Marksmanship[/url], which basically means the bad guys always have rubbish aim… Well, if you ever felt that the Stormtroopers in JKA were a little lax in their targeting, fear no more! Raarventje brings us his mod, fittingly called ‘Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise’. Basically what this mod does is make the Stormtroopers in the Single Player side of JKA a bit smarter and more accurate in their aiming. Personally I think this is a good idea for a mod, little changes like that can make quite a difference overall in a game. :thumbsup: So if you like the idea of this mod and want to give it a try, give it a download! :) ~Nozyspy~

Marka Ragnos
certainly makes him seem a bit more complete. I would have suggested a little more of an expanded look, seeing as he feels rather top heavy, both in size and decoration. However, it\'s still a rather almost complete transformation. Even the mouth is rigged =_=. The big downside here is the lack of sounds, or rather, the lack of taunts. The author decided to just go with the standard soundset ragnos possessed. Not exactly smart, but it is space savvy. Unfortunately, that\'s all that\'s there is the model. No additional extras.

General Windu
Mace Windus. Hwargh, is it a large load of them. To cut time, I simply suggest you take a look at the readme to see all the skin variants. Accuracy-wise, in terms of the face, it looks VAGUELY like Mace Windu. To ensure my assumptions were correct, I found the picture that Spanki copied off of with the real thing. Looking at them side by side, the facial structure actually looks surprisingly similar in the nose, ears, and head. However, Samuel L. Jackson\'s eyes are a bit farther apart and less glistening (too much shine in the eyes) than the skin\'s, so the accuracy is harmed slightly, but only because of the model. That, and maybe the skin tone\'s a bit off, but all in all, it\'s a pretty good shot. On everywhere else, the model and skin\'s about as dead on as they could be. All in all, a very nice skinpack. I may consider keeping it myself, if not for at least the sith variant =_,=. Otherwise, I\'d advise you to go and acquire some bandwidth to round up this skinpack, as you will probably enjoy it highly =_=.

Nar Shaddaa Streets Map Pack
impressive. Why do I say this? Well, quite frankly, all that was really done was a transfer in content from JO to JA. The author could have at least made the effort to possible fix the elevators and trash compactor so they worked properly. Well, okay, the trash compactor works fine, but sound would have been nice to fix. Other than that, it\'s nothing special from the old Jedi Outcast days. I certainly enjoy Nar Shaddaa, so I may very well keep these for the hell of it =_,=. You all may SUBMIT BANDWIDTH AT YOUR DISCRETION, AND SEE IF YOU WISH TO AS WELL.
