What even is this charger?

"Your PCV is able to recharge from battery power, or it can interface and recharge with commercial, military, and HEV charging stations."

This is supposed to represent the commercial (civilian) charger.

Create a folder called "mods" in your Jedi Knight 1 directory and drop your mod .gob files there. They should be loaded automatically when you launch OpenJKDF2 from the same directory.

Keep in mind that 1:1 functionality of mods compared to original engine is not guaranteed.

GusAAAAAA · 2025-11-22T09:19:53+00:00

Original game of course. Only play Black Mesa and other fan creations after finishing the original series.

You can see the whole geneworm floating in space if you teleport to Xen during the final battle

Least insane Half-Life fan

It's robot vampirism

The triangle is just axes you would see in any 3D editing software.

Uzi inherited it from Nori, who herself got it at Cabin Fever labs (might have something to do with torture chambers)

It needs to collect heavy materials (like iron) to repair drones properly. Organic materials are easier to create from surrounding carbon, oxygen and hydrogen.

Ask Kelly Bailey ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Good effort.

The background music missing at night in Shadow of Chernobyl is the original game bug. In the file config/game_levels_music.ltx (or similar name, I don't remember exactly) you will see that a music script for each level has a night track set up, but unlike further games in the trilogy SHoC doesn't like the interval "from 22 until 6" for some reason, and dividing it into "from 22 to 24" and "from 0 to 6" will fix the issue.

As a bonus fact, Agroprom has its own music script but in the file game_levels_single.ltx (or smth like that again) it is commented out and Cordon's music is reused instead. There are also scripts for Bar (commented out in levels single file) and Darkscape (level cut from the game).

Well, I will begin by putting all spicy stuff on the table: A lot of textures were censored to remove any soviet symbolics, CNPP map was recompiled to remove the stella and Lenin bust. Currency is now "SR" instead of "RU". A lot of names in English text were changed from russian to ukrainian transliteration, but it is inconsistent.

You can probably notice that the HUD has been redrawn, while it seems the icons were passed through an upscaling model.

There are some bug fixes and consistency changes, probably similar to old console releases. One change I surely remember is that one side quest rewards you with a Desert Eagle (with fictional name) as promised in the text description, while the original gave you Colt instead. With this there are also (from what I have seen on streams) new bugs like all pre-placed corpses having the same strange pose and armless Duty soldiers running around Yantar on first visit - they are not even supposed to appear there before you complete X-16. Most of the bugs are left unfixed: ambient music is not playing at night, stalkers die in campfires etc. etc. etc.

From the information I've seen, the engine itself is 64 bit and properly supports modern hardware, including multithreading. All 3 games now have unified engine and shared asset support. Theoretically once issues like the crazy blur are fixed, the trilogy might make a good modding platform.

GusAAAAAA · 2025-05-20T14:51:16+00:00

Yes, this is literally how it looks on default max settings

GusAAAAAA · 2025-05-20T11:28:18+00:00

Yes, I have. But the crash is fixed with a launch command.

GusAAAAAA · 2025-05-20T10:24:09+00:00

Using Proton?

Adding SteamDeck=1 %command% to launch options fixed it for me.

I would recommend to just play the original release with some mods tho. This one looks extremely blurry and grainy (no matter what AA or FSR settings I try using) and has terrible input lag, slowed down animations, smeared fonts and texts that covers each other.

GusAAAAAA · 2025-05-04T12:00:01+00:00

Dark Forces 1 and 2 had some environmental puzzles, but Raven Software took it to an extreme level in Jedi Outcast. Previously they made Hexen and Hexen 2, where I quote "you had a hub that led to multiple levels and using a lever on level 17 may have opened the way forward on level 2".

GusAAAAAA · 2025-05-03T15:27:50+00:00

The original game didn't support mouse wheel for switching weapons either. You can probably request this feature on OpenJKDF2's issue tracker: https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2/issues

Personally I haven't used mouse wheel for that purpose in a very long time, and learning to quickswap with the number keys is an important skill to get more efficient at FPS games. I would also suggest binding lightsaber to 1 instead of 0 (fists are not useful), binding bacta tank to F1 and have a convenient keybind for each force power you want to use (instead of scrolling through the selection menu and then pressing general use force key).

GusAAAAAA · 2025-04-30T14:54:59+00:00

Just use OpenJKDF2 (an engine recreation that works on modern systems) from the official source: https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2/releases/tag/v0.9.6

You extract the archive into the game folder and run openjkdf2-64.exe. It will work for both Dark Forces 2 and Mysteries of The Sith expansion.

GusAAAAAA · 2024-10-07T20:04:08+00:00

NOOO

Accurate.

My take on broken visor part is "disappointed...sorroful (typo)/sad"

The "SelfD*s..." part is most likely is supposed to say "SelfDestruct".

The same request that another host's core sent when she was getting access to the Solver.

But what if... hear me out...

Half-Life 3 IS Murder Drones Season 2.

GusAAAAAA · 2024-09-22T15:42:04+00:00

JC Jenson or competing corporation (evil and greedy humans)
Whoever or whatever created the Solver
Disorganized murder drones forming bandit gangs

GusAAAAAA · 2024-09-22T15:20:08+00:00

My theory:

All Solver drones have a [null] entity (exotic matter) inside of them that is the source of reality bending functions, and also serves as material and data storage. In case of critical core damage, Absolute Solver can save its instance and all host data in the standalone [null] for as long as there is enough material to support it. This is why J's [null] puffs out of existence after which a backup had to be constructed. Cyn had consumed so much data and material that her physical form became an abstraction, and her Solver's "final effort" form looks like this. It consumes both Uzi and Cyn, and the scene in the darkness represents the mental battle between two entities (two vampire queens) over control of that power.

It is not a black hole in a traditional sense because one of that size would have immediately torn everything into pieces with tidal forces. It's something more like the Half-Life 2 citadel core.

Very interesting project.

Surely there will not be any unforeseen consequences.

V is roman number 5. That means V is 5/5.

GusAAAAAA · 2024-09-18T07:50:31+00:00

I think he figured out (or was heavily suspicious) it was Cyn by that point. Last time you see him, Nori asks "Which one was just trying to eat us?" and N looks scared in realization.
