This project aims to recreate the levels and playing experience of the LucasArts game Dark Forces using the modern 3D engine found in the game Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy.
We will be re-creating all 14 levels found in the original game and bringing them into the 21st century.
Given the capabilities of the modified Quake 3 engine this project is very exciting indeed. Weapons, enemies and models will be re-created aswell as other features of the original game.
Soon you'll be playing Dark Forces with gorgeous visuals, brilliant effects and fantastic playability!
- As Kyle Katarn, mercenary and agent of the Rebel Alliance, infiltrate the secret Imperial base to steal the plans for the Death Star and travel to distant locations as you track down clues to unravel the mystery of the Dark Trooper.
- Choose wisely from an arsenal of weapons including Bryar Pistol, Imperial Blaster, Thermal Detonator, Imperial Repeater, Fusion Cutter, Anti-personnel Mines, Mortar Gun, Concussion Rifle, and the Dark Trooper Assault Cannon.
- Test your skills in 14 greatly enhanced missions
- Interact with legendary Star Wars characters such as Storm Troopers, Imperial Commandos, Gammorean Guards, Dianogas, Boba Fett, Grans, Trandoshans, Jabba the Hutt, Kell Dragons, and of course all 3 iterations of the fearsome Dark Trooper.
- Hear the original music exactly as the composer intended.
- Powered by a modified version of the widely acclaimed Quake 3: Team Arena engine, you'll enjoy the game as never before with high resolution graphics, hardware accelerated performance, true 3D environments, stunning sound and music effects, and in-engine cutscenes which complete the entire 14 mission story.

Someone on Youtube has started new work on this. Search StarTrek EliteForce Remastered on YouTube. Perhaps this is a faint glimmer of hope.
Yes. StarTrekEliteForceRemastered has begun work which can be viewed from his YouTube channel, but he has not released the game as it still is a WIP. I reviewed the channel and some of the things he has gone on to fix are the Jeron Fusion Cutter, which fires four bolts of energy for its alt-fire. (Which can not be done in the original 6-level demo) He has actually added the IR Goggles for his play-through on Gromas. Seems he messed around with the Dark Trooper and fleshed it out. I'm still not certain from the Gromas Level footage of his tweakings if the DT Phase-1 deals damage (Which it did not do in the 6-level as it really didn't do anything but harmlessly chase the player)
Let's hope they'll complete it. I've found Dark forces far better than jedi outcast so far. But i wouldn't been able to play the original version of dark forces, too clunky for me.
So, this is the way.

It's a reversed engineered port of the original MS-DOS Dark Forces for modern systems, with plenty of options for configurations to boot.
Its DEAD :(
The mod is dead because one of the 2 modders died of a heart attack, as I've been told.
You can still get what they' ve done here:

That's disappointing, at least we get to see what they've done. It's a wonderful mod, really.
