Star Wars Jedi Outcast Mod
Star Wars: Jedi Knight II is a series of games evolving around the phenomenally popular Star Wars movie franchise. Many spin off games have resulted but few have captured the nature of the force and all awesome things associated such as wielding a light saber as well as this game. The Legacy of Star Wars Dark Forces™ and Star Wars® Jedi Knight lives on in the intense first-person action of Jedi Outcast.

Handy for mapping the Right and Left triggers for different button, but not good for using the right analog stick for looking and aiming due to the engine it uses (Quake 3 engine). Controls for the left analog stick is governed by what is mapped the arrow keys on the keyboard. | |
| Full controller support | For XInput support, users will need both the Jedi Academy - Outcast mod for Jedi Academy and the OpenJK source port. Note: OpenJK is in a incomplete state, but is updated regularly. | |

Maddog's review of what was supposed to be the last version of this great mod:
Michael B.K.A. cHoSeN oNe brings us the newest and final version of his mod. What wasn’t the last version supposed to be the last? Hmmm anyway on to the review. As always this mod is a server side mod and contains all of the past features plus more. Most if not all of the changes are for the admins and the person running the server. You can now ban a whole range of I.P. addresses, there is a new command that enforces the no force/no weapons even if terminator or empowered modes are on, there is a few new sound effects added to exploding body parts and the login of admins and much much more.
Personal I like this mod and we run the 1.3 version on the ICoP server and plan on taking this mod for a test run. I suggest giving this newest version a download, most of the new commands will help out the admins and who doesn’t like sound effects LOL. Great job, only time will tell if this is the final version .

Below is Amos’s review of version 1.3:
Quote: Jedi Academy 1.3 is the final version of this great mod - no really - it IS the final version. Seriously. This update is chocked full of admin commands and emotes and just all kinds of stuff. There are quite a few bug fixes and this is just the best mod out there for admin-ing servers. The gameplay remains the same, but now, like if you're in a duel on an FFA server, you can't use bacta, or emotes. Any sleeping or punished person cannot be killed - they can't even /kill - fabulous feature for admins trying to deal with lamers. Ooo ... and if a Padawan connects and there's already a Pad on the server, the one connecting gets renamed. And, and, and ... there's just so much here. Read the readme. Trust me ... you're going to need to read it. It's a freakin' tome, but there's just so much there and every feature is just ... well, okay, I'm gushing. But I love this mod. Remember, it's a serverside mod, so you don't have to download it to play at a server that runs it.

So, though ChosenOne has promised time and again that the last update really was the last one, you can't really blame him for updating this one ... last ... time. ;) He's removed over 60 cvars that just seemed to bog the thing down. Doing so has streamlined the mod, making it faster, the filesize smaller and it doesn't use as much RAM as before. One of the great things about JAR (for JA) is that Server Admins are able to pick and choose which commands they want their Admins and Knights to have. Chosen has included that same feature here, for those still playing JK2! He's also customized the aminfo command according to what level of admin you are, or if you're just a player. Two new little cvars were included to let you change the health regeneration of bactas and adjust the value of which the bacta regenerates your HP.
I'd say those are some decent updates for this mod and worth the download - especially with the removal of those cvars. Great job, as always, Chosen!
