JKDF2 Remastered 3.3 Released!

I am super excited to announce a new and improved version that actually has some good graphical changes as well as much needed fixes that should help people that were having trouble with the mod to now be able to run it no problem!

Changes

Big changes to the latest Release! New comer to the Jedi Knight Modding community Vurt has overhauled a bunch of he Jedi Knight Upscale Textures and made them even more detailed and enhanced. These of course have been added to the mod with permission of course. Check out a some of the changes below:

Door

statue, old vs new


His Mod adds 720 new textures for the game, basically overhauling almost the entire game apart from some of the smaller details where graphics aren't as noticeable. We also have added some fixes that were spotted and fixed by blackhawk3d1. Weegee Model got messed up in 3.2 for some reason. He also fixed some of the other Textures on the doors and switches that Vurt missed!

Weegee

switches1 before after

switches2 before after

Another slight change added to the Mod is a new Kyle Model. The other Kyle had slightly bigger eyes and the detail was kind of low. The New Kyle is now full HD and looks very nice! The Mod has several different versions but I decided to go with the AKyleHD2-HighRes-Tan-Shirt version since it was not overly pixelated like the Extreme High Res option but if you like to change that to one of the other versions you can download the mod here and simple add the other version you like to the Mod! -HD Kyle Addon


Major Fix - Textures Not Showing up Appdata Install Issue

So on older versions of OpenJKDF2 you had the install the game files in the %appdata%/Roaming/openjkdf2/ folder which made it difficult to install the mod since I would then have the make sure the installer installed the Graphical updates to the Appdata folder as well. But with the latest version of OpenJKDF2 as long as you have OpenJKDF2 files installed in the JK Root Directory (Ex: Steam C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Jedi Knight) it should no longer try to install files in the Appdata folder and instead run the mod with the game files in the Root Directory! This means those who were having trouble getting the graphical updates to show it was probably because you installed the Mod in the Root JK Directory causing OpenJKDF2 to not have to move the game files which then made it so all the mod files were not loading since they were installed in the Appdata folder that is no longer needed! Therefore, we now have a way better user friendly installer that should not give us much trouble since we only have to worry about making sure you select the JK Root Directory! All that being said please read the installation Guide before you install so you have an idea on where you need to install the Mod!

I believe that I have installed this properly, but I'm having an issue with switching weapons and using melee attacks.

the issue is that the animations for switching, fighting with my fists and my light saber are bugged and don't look right. does anyone know what the problem could be?

I found out that in my configuration file there was enable V-sync false,
I've changed that to true and that seems to have solved it.
I didn't see anything about that in the configuration guide.

Couldn't get inject.exe to run as it crashes with the error message "OpenGL could not be initialized" just to run the game...Maybe because my laptop had an Intel HD gpu?

Did get it to run with the dgVoodoo but still gave problems like no fmvs only audio,the gameplay in a window,etc...

Used the command line -windowgui which causes the menus and fmvs to be windowed but no longer black but the gameplay is full screen.Just the resolution to 1024 x 768.Plays fine!

Did anyone extract the textures,models and audio from the game? Would like to possibly use them as a mod for another game?

Downloaded everything and installed and got the icons including Configuration icon on my desktop … but when I try to open the Config it says <Adobe Acrobat could not open "jkgm.json" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)>

My Adobe seems fine and the whole game is downloaded and ready to go but just can't open the Config. Pls advise?

Every time I run the inject.exe I get an error that OpenGL could not be initialized. The game works in 5K when starting directly. I have hardware acceleration but around the blaster I have a semi-transparent rectangle.

I do run it inside Wineskin on Mac. Like this it actually works best. Converted from CD version.
Gcenx/WineskinServer

Any idea what could be wrong?

For some reason i get the feeling when playing this that Dark Forces 1 has better graphics, Like the blaster rifle looks better in that one, and the enemys look more real... but 2D...
