The sequel to Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

Within the Star Wars pantheon, the Jedi Knight video games are something truly special. They eschew the pathos and spirituality of the Lucas' films and allow players to let loose, indulging in a power fantasy with reckless abandon. The Jedi Knight series is all about using the Force to augment ones lightsaber skills and decimate enemies; story is an afterthought. Another Awesome Star Wars Game added to the Paulthetall.com Website and Portingkit! This time it is Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. This GOG.com version contains as well the Standard game including the DLC expansion. Tested the game on my Nvidia 640M iMac and it works great! Played about 1 hour without issues! In the tradition of the highly acclaimed Star Wars: Jedi Knight series, Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Outcast features rebel agent Kyle Katarn in exhilarating first-person action.
Unused Areas
The Pit
An unused level with Tavion in the middle. This level was meant to be another battle with Tavion. Tavion does return in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. In the level, if you wait a second, Tavion will say 'I sense your presence'. When you defeat Tavion, the level does not end.
A multiplayer map titled 'Trial Pit' uses a similar map design.
To access this level, type the command devmap pit.
cairn_stockpile
A reference to a mission called cairn_stockpile is mentioned in dms.dat, the file for determining how the dynamic music system works on levels. It would've used the same dynamic music as Artus Detention and Doomgiver Detention based on the files, and presumably would've come between Cairn Assembly and Cairn Reactor, judging from the file's layout. The map itself is missing from the files however.
prototype
Most likely a test mission that wasn't included in the game for obvious reasons.
Unused Text
The game contains all of its subtitles in .sp files (in the /strip/ folder in assets1.pk3), which are plaintext and can be viewed in Notepad. Several lines from here appear to be alternate, unused takes of existing lines, or reveal clues as to previous stages of a mission's development. All of these reference sound files that don't exist. Every single line in the game has subtitles, but the options menu only allows for subtitles in cinematics, making effectively 90% of the subtitle text go unused in the PC version without console commands. They can be re-enabled with the console command 'g_subtitles 1', the Xbox version allows these subtitles to be enabled in the menu.
To do: Investigate this further. |
Contained in kejim_post.sp, this might indicate that that mission may have included stealth portions like cairn_dock2 does.

Also contained in kejim_post.sp and spoken by Kyle, this may have indicated that another part of the mission may have been cut.

Unused Code
The game's SDK, containing the multiplayer mod code (not the engine) and a version of Q3Radiant (the Quake 3 map editor) dubbed JK2Radiant was released shortly after the game's launch. The complete source code for Jedi Knight 2 was made available by Raven Software in April 2013, but was later taken down due to copyright issues regarding the BINK and Xbox XDK code, which were accidentally included in the files.
Awards
A fully working Quake 3 style system of in-game awards, such as 'Humiliation!' (from getting killed with a stun baton) exists, and would've been announced by Mon Mothma. The code for it is not included in the shipped game, but is enabled with a preprocessor command. A fan mod exists of this system working.
Saga Mode
An entire multiplayer game mode, called Saga Mode, exists in the code. It is pretty close to functioning, and would've worked very similarly to Jedi Academy's Siege mode. In fact, the code files for Siege in Jedi Academy retain the same file names (bg_saga.h, bg_saga.c, g_saga.c, g_saga.h), and unlike Jedi Academy's Siege Mode, there is some preliminary support for bots in this mode.
There's also some interesting tidbits in the Saga code itself that give background into the game's development.
These sound files mentioned would've been used as announcer voices, perhaps suggesting that Kyle was originally going to be the announcer, not Mon Mothma. Or these were possibly just a batch of sound effects being used to play around with.
Realistic Saber Combat
Originally, you were able to slice enemies in half with the lightsaber. This feature can be enabled with this command: g_saberrealisticcombat. This also works in cutscene areas, spawning areas, and the unused pit level. This variable also changes how the lightsaber damages with higher numbers doing more damage.
Alternatively, setting g_dismemberment to exactly 11381138 or higher can result in unrestricted saber dismemberment without affecting the saber damage and game balance.
Mind Trick Level 4
If you type the command setmindtrick 4 while playing the game, you have the ability to take control of enemies. When you do, they have limited ammo and their guns are all rapid-fire.
X-Wing Fighter
There is a command titled fly_xwing in the coding meaning that an X-Wing Fighter was planned for the game. Using the command will crash the game.
