Drop one of the.pk3s into your Jedi Academy/Gamedata/base folder and fire up the game. This mod works with both singleplayer and multiplayer. Only use one of the variants at a time, though - don't use both 1.5 and 3.1 - to avoid problems. Note: You must have dual sabers for this trick. When in combat with a Dark side Force user (Reborn, etc.), lock your sabers and push the enemy back. Keep pushing until you are almost out of the lock, but do not break the saber lock. Then, press Alt + Fire. Your second saber will whirl around the two combatants, then hit the enemy somewhere. As a tool used primarily for training in the Jedi Academy against multiple opponents, some Jedi find that they prefer this weapon for its diversity as well as its devastating power. In combat with multiple opponents, the provision of two blades allows for greater self-defense through increased blocking ability.

Drop one of the .pk3s into your Jedi Academy/Gamedata/base folder and fire up the game. This mod works with both singleplayer and multiplayer. Only use one of the variants at a time, though - don't use both 1.5 and 3.1 - to avoid problems.

Description:
This mod attempts to provide a more immersive hack-slash experience than the default sparks and sparkles that get chucked out when you stab someone normally (or shoot - this mod works with guns as well, with the exception of the Stouker). I was obsessed with the game BloodRayne at the time of authoring this so it may bear some resemblance. This mod comes in two versions - 1.5 and 3.1.
1.5 - lots of big, wide sprites (I think that's what they're called) all over the place; emphasis on volume and area coverage. Extreme dismemberment and small red puff-clouds on gun and saber impacts. Saber impact and particle splatting sounds may be a little loud, but I like the explosive water-baloon-popping sort of aura they help create.
3.1 - a move toward smaller textures that spurt more often. More diversity within the sprites themselves and a trend toward more splatter but less red (less ground coverage). Same amount of dismemberment. Added tails (for us nerds who know what those are) to go jetting out on saber hits and paste small bits of gore wherever they land. The downside is that with so many more images getting drawn everywhere, the game erases old sprites in order to let the new ones land, so sometimes it looks like the blood's evaporating wicked fast as new blood lands on the ground. For this reason, 3.1 may be more suited to single player, when there tends to be more time between killings. The sounds in 3.1 are a bit less splooshy and more splattery.
This mod also declares 'helpusobi 1' to facilitate singleplayer cheating.

CREDIT
to Jedi_Mediator for a few great textures that are present (in pieces) in this mod
to Dark_Maul for the Bloody_Dismemberment mod that I patterned after
to the game BloodRayne for overall inspiration and as a model for sound and gore aesthetics
to the developers of GIMP (for the GIMP)
to the JKA community for mods that helped me learn the shader syntax
BUGS: not a bug, but the blood is a bit much if you decide to use a gun. Unrealistic.
COMMENTS: Enjoy, and feel free to bust it open and use anything in your own mod. You don't have to let me know, but I'd really like to see what gets done with my stuff. Drop me an email or something. Thanks.
