DATE RELEASED: 21 April 2007

CREDITS: LucasArts, RavenSoft, Slider and the OJP staff.
SPECIAL THANKS: LucasArts and RavenSoft for leaving behind most of their JK2 animations in
Jedi Academy's "_humanoid.gla" file.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
OJP Players: Place "z_JK2_Animations_ojp.pk3" into your mod folder.
JAPlus Players: Place "JK2_Animations_japlus.pk3" into your base or mod folders.
Everyone Else: Place "JK2_Animations_base.pk3" into your base or other mod folders.

DESCRIPTION:
General: Ever played JK2? Didn't like the changes in Jedi Academy? This mod helps
"un-change" the changes by returning the original standing, walking and running
animations with a slight twist. There is still idle animation for standing
motionless, but this mod uses the original JK2-SP idle motion.

Version1 Fix: You know that feature where one of your legs elevate when you stand on un-even
ground? Turned out the character's upper torso would revert back to JKA's
original standing posture when this occured. This error has been corrected.

Version2: This is a seemingly bigger step from the "Fix" version. This time the character's
legs won't bother to re-elevate themselves when you stand on un-even terrain or
ledges.

COMMENTs: Apparently LucasArts/RavenSoft decided it would be fun to fully replace the
original JK2 animations concerning wall movement. I was so mad when I found this
out that I did. . . absolutely nothing for an hour. They were, however, redeemed
when I stumbled upon the source of the leg-elevating feature. I know some of you
prefer your animations to be lightly modded, in which case the Version 1 Fix is
for you. If you're a JK2 player at heart, however, you'll love Version2. That's
why I included two different versions in the same .zip file.

NOTE to OJP PLAYERS: Before I submitted this mod I was informed by Razorace that they are
often changing animations for their mod in most updates. The OJP
compatible version of this animation mod was made from the 0.0.9b
Enhanced version (don't worry, it should work in 0.1.2 Basic too) so if
you play another version of OJP, use this mod at your own risk. I'll
try to submit updates of this mod whenever a new version of OJP comes
out.
