On the site (http://darkforces.jediknight.net) it says the demo will hopefully be released "by the end of August if not sooner" or "very soon." I'm starting to get excited about this. Hopefully I can start getting ahead on homewor...  [Read More]

I was kinda waiting for the demo to come out before I started pestering the team about the inclusion of the headlamp and other vital things. I also decided that my questions about the dianoga could wait because I'll be seeing it for myself soon. Of c...  [Read More]

Shamus is referring to the fact that the cutscenes have already been converted to JA's video format for the JK:DF2 mod. The cutscenes in JK were in either the Bink or Smacker format, and J_B sent you to the page where you can download software to pl...  [Read More]

Looks like I replied a little too soon. Sounds cool--I can't wait to see the added content, especially Moff Rebus. @Suprosa: Did you really think this team would make anything low quality? ;) Everything I've seen them make so far has been amazing....  [Read More]

By the way, The One, can you update the progress page sometime? Perhaps after or at the demo's release would be a good time, as traffic to the site will probably pick up. I think some people read a little too much into the fact that the progress page...  [Read More]

That great that the cutscene's done--I'm sure it looks awesome. Now, I have several questions about the cutscene, but I'll be patient since they'll probably be answered soon. I like your idea, Ackehallgren, but it sounds like it would add a signifi...  [Read More]

Hail to modders for every game out there, for making older games still fun and enjoyable to play even today Are you implying that DF is no longer fun in its original form? :) As much as I value the DFMod team's work, I'd have to disagree with you o...  [Read More]

My understanding of the switch to JA for the mod is that some necessary features of the final mod would be unsupported or difficult to implement in JO. Also, because both games are built on the same engine, moving the assets from one game to the othe...  [Read More]

Also, these demos help keep the community alive and excited until the final release. Although this will be the second demo, it has been a long time since the last one. And finally, although preparing the demo for release takes some additional time, i...  [Read More]

I've got cable now, but even back when I had 56k I'd have prefered the big file; you can just set it up and let it download overnight or while you do something else for a long time. However, this assumes that the entire thing downloads without messin...  [Read More]

These programs don't ask to be installed, but IE will stop it or let you choose if you have it set up right. Look under Tools, Internet Options, the Security tab, the Custom Level button (perhaps setting it to the default level would be fine), and lo...  [Read More]

You shouldn't be getting any viruses or Trojan horses from just seeing the popups. Perhaps it has a window asking if you want to install something, but if you click "No," nothing happens. (This is assuming you have IE and have the security...  [Read More]

You'd need to do what they do to get movies from 24 FPS film to 30 FPS home video. Not that I know what they do... My guess is that you could somehow combine frames to make new, intermediate ones. Sounds like a lot of work, but perhaps the process c...  [Read More]

I was going to argue that it was night in the JO demo, but I went back and checked to be sure, and technically there is a sun overhead, but it's so dark that I'd say it was night or twilight without that detail. Still, I can't really comment on if it...  [Read More]

I see what you mean. That band of color--perhaps it's the way that the light's shining through the glass and liquid--possible, but quite a stretch. What you did with it is great, and whether or not it exactly mimics the original, it certainly fulfill...  [Read More]

Wow! That's amazing! Good work. One thing, though-for the cups, I see in the original sprites more of a clear cup with a blue or green liquid inside. Not that it really matters or that I'm necessarily even right about that....  [Read More]
