JK2 Jedi Customization Pack

Description
The ability in JKA to customise the look of your character �" choosing your own combination of heads, torsos and legs �" was one of the cool features of both the singleplayer and multiplayer sides of the game. JK2 of course never had this, because afterall you were playing as Kyle Katarn!

Now, being able to create your own custom character is no longer a feature exclusive to JKA for now we have this fantastic mod made by LukeSkillz, Raziel2121!

Whilst this mod may seem rather complicated at first when you read the instructions in the readme, it is actually pretty simple. You can customise a character by choosing different heads, torsos and legs, just like you do in JKA. However because there is no means of doing this actually in-game, what you need to do is follow the instructions and then when you are ready, select a character and then select the different heads, torsos and legs for that character that you want. When you have chosen them you put them in the folder that you will have created whilst reading the readme, and then load the mod in �"game and voila! Now the first character icon in the selection screen in-game will be the character that you created earlier!

Of course, you can only use the parts from a single character, meaning that you can’t mix a Shadowtrooper’s head with Luke’s body and Kyle’s legs, since they are different models. :P

Also included are several new custom lightsaber hilts made by different authors, and lightsaber blade mod’s �" my favourite of which is the one that makes the blades look like they do in the Dark Forces games. There are also some .pk3’s and .cfg files which allow you to change the colour of the lightsaber in singleplayer too. That leads me onto the ‘icing on the cake’ for this mod, so to speak. A huge bonus is that this mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer! So now you can have your own custom Jedi, along with custom lightsaber hilt, blades and colours in singleplayer instead of boring old Kyle (no, we all love good old Kyle really!). The readme also states that this mod should work for JKA as well which is cool, although I didn’t have time to test this in JKA.

As for bugs and improvements; well I didn’t encounter any bugs while I was testing this, although it is a [b]big[/b] mod so there may be some. Improvement wise, all I can think of is adding more variations and more models that can be customised (although bare in mind that this is only a Beta version). Overall I found this mod to be of the highest quality so I don’t think there really is much that could be improved upon!

Overall a fantastic mod here, original and well executed. I am sure people will be very pleased to finally be able to customise their player characters in JK2 as well as JKA. I definitely recommend downloading this!

[b]I must say though, that it is VERY IMPORTANT you read the readme thoroughly so you know where to put the files, because this mod doesn’t follow quite the usual rule of just putting .pk3’s in your base folder. Don’t worry though, it might look complicated, but as long as you read the readme properly, you will find it to be very simple! :)[/b]

[b]New Textures:[/b] Yes, lots!
[b]New Sounds:[/b] No
[b]Team Support:[/b] No (almost impossible for a mod of this type I should imagine)
