CREDITS: This is where I need to give credit where credit is due. I'm the guy who did all the work on this mod. However....
ACTIVISION, RAVEN, OR LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LLC deserves credit for their models and the Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy game, and
Hercules : The Legendary Journeys is a trademark and copyright of Universal TV Distribution Holdings LLC, and Universal Television Enterprises LLLP.
Licensed by Universal Studios Licensing LLLP. All rights reserved. They deserve credit for their cool characters, television show, photographs and set design,
of which many of these skins were based.
And Xena : Warrior Princess is a trademark and copyright of Studios USA Television Distribution LLC .Licensed by Universal Studios Licensing LLLP. All rights reserved.
They also deserve credit for their cool characters, tv show, photographs and set design, of which some of these skins were also based.
... and just to be safe, everyone on planet Earth deserves a big, "May the force be with you!".... or this modification wouldn't have much meaning, would it?
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Just put the .pk3 files in your base folder. You should first make sure to remove all other pk3 files.
I've maxed-out the npc limit... I think. Anyway, it will almost certainly crash if you don't remove your other npc files first (if you have any).
So don't complain if it keeps crashing on you because you didn't read this warning.
DESCRIPTION: This is a very, very, very large re-skin with Single Player, and to a slightly lesser degree Multi Player, in mind.
I've re-skinned almost all weapons, animals, and almost all the characters too.
In addition, I've re-skinned some of the GFX files, and added pictures,... and in a separate file you'll need to download (Hercules_Xena_Textures_and_Map_Objects),
basically I re-textured almost the whole game...and map objects too.
Lots to see. Be sure to see my other read me file (Hercules_Read_Me.rtf) for the npc and playermodel spawn names.
BUGS: There's only one bug that I noticed and couldn't figure out how to fix... It's probably something in the .glm file. But I'm on a mac. Oh well...
When Hera (Tavion) gets absorbed by Cronus (Ragnos) for a moment, during the video, Hera's skin turns gray, but when the action starts again she's back to normal.
No big deal, just a little annoying.
COMMENTS: This is my first and likely my last modification for Jedi Academy.... unless i decide to update what I have here. Well, you never know.
It started as a simple mod, only wanting to make Hercules and Xena, but then I decided Hercules needs his little buddy, Iolaus,
and Xena needs her buddies, Gabrielle and Joxer, and well, then it just kept growing and growing from there.
I started to think it might be possible to redo the entire game but then realized what an enormous task that would be, not to mention impossible on a Mac,
so you and I will have to settle for this.
But hopefully, *someone* with a PC and 3DS Max and/or Radiant will make a Model and / or Map. It would be cool to have some creatures like Echidna, Cerberus,
Kraken, Harpies, Medusa, etc. As well as a MP or SP map of Ancient Greece, with Mount Olympus, Athens, etc. Maybe someone will take up the challenge?
... Oh, and Xena simply has to have a chakram to throw, right? :)
