NOTE: Before I begin, I'd like to mention that this mod should work with Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast. If you find any bugs with it in Jedi Outcast please report them to the author in the comments.
Remember the last version of the Super Detonator? This is kind of the next version of that, but it also kind of isn't so I'm not going to label it as that. Instead of making some gigundous explosion that looks like it could engulf a small house, the thermal detonator effect has been changed to look like that of a fragmentation grenade. For those not familiar with realistic shooters, take a look at the screenshots. There are actually some frags that fly off of the explosion as well, giving it that realistic look.
My opinion? Awesome. Awesome in comparison with the original explosion, which is weak, unrealistic, and... orange. Despite the fact that I love the color orange, the explosion was a little bit too neat and confined. This, while perhaps not 'thermal detonatory" enough for some of you, is definitely a visual improvement over the stock effect. Check it out for yourself if you'd like to compare.

******************** JEDI KNIGHT: JEDI ACADEMY AND JEDI KNIGHT: JEDI OUTCAST MODIFICATION ******************** Title: SD - Fragmentation Detonator Author: Jedi_Mediator E-Mail: [email protected] Website: *none* Filename: fragmentation_detonator.pk3 Filesize: approximately 1.5 megabytes Date Completed: June 26, 2007 **************************----- **************************----- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: There are several ways to use most mods: Auto-effect: These installed mods automatically affect the gameplay in Jedi Academy. They are extracted into the BASE folder of the Jedi Academy/Gamedata folder. Load-up: These installed mods do not automatically affect the gameplay of Jedi Academy when you load the game: you have to load them up from the MODS menu under the Setup/Mods tab in the main menu. For those of you who need it, here it is in plain English: "Just drop the .pk3 into your base folder and enjoy!" **************************----- **************************----- Description: Remember my rather...buggy Super Detonator mod? All THREE versions had XYZ "Missing Model" markers--or, as they were rather humorously named by all the wonderful commenters, "confetti." This is nothing like that. This new mod, called the Fragmentation Detonator, is the evolution of Super Detonator. It basically behaves almost exactly as a real fragmentation grenade would...except that, in real life, you probably couldn't see the tiny fragments, of which there would be millions, each travelling at supersonic speeds. Some features of Frag' Det's were not able to be incorporated into this mod simply because of the game's limitations (obviously, the Quake 3 engine could not even come close to showing a million tiny specks all at once), but I, along with GW_Mandalore, have found it to be quite realistic. Bugs: None so far. This mod SHOULD work on both JK2 and JKA. If it doesn't, contact me immediately. ----Any further bugs you may inform me of in the comments section, and I will try to fix them, or contact me at the above address.---- Future Plans:This is only the beginning! More awesome grenades are soon to come. Keep another eye out! Comments: This is an effects mod. It will completely change the explosion of the Thermal Detonator. It will NOT change the actual appearance of the Detonator. ************************** THIS MODIFICATION IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY ACTIVISION, RAVEN, OR LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LLC.
