INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Part One - The Launcher
1) Back-up the contents of your folder:
"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\Install"
2) Extract the contents of "CW_launcher.zip" to your "Install" folder, replacing the old ones.
Part Two - Loading Screens & Loading Bar
1) Place the file "CW_Startup.pk3" in your folder:
"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Base"
********************************************************************
UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Restore the contents of your folder:
"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\Install"
using the backup that you made (like I suggested, yeah?)
2) Delete the file "CloneWars_Startup.pk3" from your folder:
"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\Base"
********************************************************************
BUGS:
In order to get rid of the loading-bar-background transparency (mp_levelload.jpg), I had to modify the
shaders\gfx.shader file. As a result of this, any other custom pk3 files that modify gfx.shader MAY
cause conflicts. Although what the result will be, I'm not entirely sure.
If you find any probs with it, lemme know though, eh? Cheers!

COMMENTS:
This is my first Mod of any description. Inspired by recent files at jediknight2.filefront.com, initially this was going to be just a launcher but then it snowballed and grew (the way projects do). If you've submitted a launcher, startup screen or loading bar then I've probably pulled the PK3 apart to see how you did it, so thanks for that ;D (that's how modders get started though isn't it?).
So yeah, it's not earth-shattering and it's not going to affect the actual gameplay, but it's more to compliment these FANTASTIC projects:

All the sounds and images in this pack are taken from the CW DVDs and the "Clone Wars Adventures" books.
A future reworking will include menu-video and re-done menus, but don't hold your breath ;)
