Mods Details:
Remastered Version 3.3
OpenJKDF2: Github.com
OpenJKDF2 is a function-by-function reimplementation of DF2 in C, with 64-bit ports to MacOS and Linux. Files are organized as closely to the original game as possible, based on symbols from the Grim Fandango Remaster Android/Linux/macOS port, as well as scattered assertions from various other games. It also contains the original versions of byacc and flex used for COG script parsing.
Enhancement Mod for JkGfxMod (JK Edition) 1.0
Moddb.com
Features higher detail models from JKE and the JK community in addition to readjusted lightsabers, muzzle flashes and Explosions.
Jedi Knight Neural Upscale Texture Pack
Moddb.com
This is a replacement texture pack for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. These textures were upscaled using ESRGAN and a custom model. This texture pack is intended for use by mod authors as a base for their own high-resolution retexture projects. Although this texture pack is usable without further changes, the textures in this pack are quite raw. Most of them have artifacts from the upscaling process, which in a complete effort should be manually removed by an artist.

JKM Remastered 3.0 Released!
The Mod is now at a whole new level of amazement! Thanks to huge help from Fastgamerr we finally were able to get the in-game Cutscenes mod implemented and working! Here is an early test footage of what we first got once the cutscene mod actually worked in-game:
As you can see from there Fastgamerr and I looked into what was needed to get the characters to stop changing to the old models during the cutscenes. It turns out each part of the cutscenes where the models changed was because the cutscene was actually using a different model for that part. After we figured out which model 3do files were in what scene Fastgamerr worked his magic and was able to get the models updated! We now have the results below in the screenshot!
So we have effectively remastered the Cutscenes! Upgraded Mara and Kyle models and were even able to add the Lightsaber Hilts! Which reminds me! I believe this is the first time Mara Jade actually has the right Lightsaber Hilt since in the original game the lightsaber is just a generic handle there is no detail on it at all. It is truly an awesome hilt and thanks to Fastgamerr we were able to get this Lightsaber hilt from jkHub, believe or not from a mod for Jedi Academy by Plasma Lightsaber Hilt Collection 1.9
I suppose it is not too hard to believe! The Game looks so much better it does effectively look like it is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy now! Thanks to the implementation of openJKDF2 in this version we now have the awesome in-game configurations options for JKM now too!
New UI Menus
We were also able to use AI Enhancer krea.ai and photoshop to Enhance the Game Menu images!
See more of the Menus in the image section or for that matter just download the mod now!

Somebody should put this Star Wars Jedi knight Dark Forces 2 mod in Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy so we can use the saber realistic combat code on it so we can have full lightsaber dismemberment and its former glory you can use your lightsaber to cut off arms legs heads and torsos please also do the same with Star Wars Jedi Knight Mysteries of the Sith.
Great mod! But is it normal to have no weapon sway at all? I remember that in the original, if you unlocked the frame rate, the gun would sway like crazy, but with this mod the guns are just static when moving. Just checking if this is intended or not.
Hi Druid -- I made a similar observation and comment back in January 2024 on another comment thread here. I actually know a way to add weapon sway back in, but it's tedious. I hope General Tantor will consider integrating it in a future update.
Here is the pertinent comment I made previously if you're curious. It's a bit confusing and technical -- suffice it to say, I had to modify the weapon cog parameters.

grosspotatoes - Jan 6 2024 - 5 comments
Amazing job as always (haven't played this since the 1.0 release but I'm excited by all the updates). One thing I notice straight off the bat though is the complete elimination of the weapon sway. I know some players don't care for weapon sway, but to me having it completely absent seems unsettling (ironically, older versions of JK Remastered I think had the problem of too much weapon sway).
I believe the latest version of openjkdf2 fixed the problems which are located in the weapon animation cogs. The cogs are as follows:
weap_bryar.cog, weap_concrifle.cog, weap_crossbow.cog, weap_fists.cog, weap_raildet.cog, weap_repeater.cog, weap_saber.cog, weap_seqcharge.cog, weap_strifle.cog, weap_thermdet.cog
Using the utility "Conman" by Alex, I was able to modify EnhancementMod.gob and locate these same cogs and change all lines of code (with parameters other than zero) to the following, which is what openjkdf2 uses:
jkSetWaggle(player, '10.0 7.0 0.0', 350);
So far, this seems to fix things so they look just the way they are supposed to, at least the way they did in vanilla JK. Hope you'll consider updating it on your end too in the next version!
I would recommend updating the textures for the new Kyle model at some point, as it is inconsistent with the outfit he is seen wearing in the cutscenes. The textures on the model depict his Jedi Outcast design, which is quite different from his DF2 design. This creates some inconsistencies when going from cutscenes, to gameplay. That being said the original model's textures were completely off as well, so I guess this is more of a nitpick on my part.
To break it down, Kyle wears black pants and boots in DF2, but brown ones in JK2. He wears a white shirt in DF2, but a more beige one in JK2. He also has no gloves, but with black wrist gauntlets in DF2, but he has brown gloves/gauntlets in JK2.

Something is not right with JKDF2 Remastered 3.3! It DOES NOT use the Upscale Texture Pack at all.
The setup is set as the pdf shows.

I solved the problem; I copied the jkgm folder from the JK2 main folder to the
C:\username\AppData\Roaming\OpenJKDF2\openjkdf2\jkgm
I've seen AI upscaled FMV cutscenes on Youtube, how do you get those into this mod?
