Distractions
Two brightly shining candles in the general gloom: Star Wars Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy and Star Trek: The New Generation. Some kind soul has provided the latter as umpteen DVD images on The Pirate Bay, and another even kinder soul has downloaded them and provided my with the discs. I’m now nearing the end of the first season.
I had a little trouble enabling lightsaber dismemberment in Jedi
Academy. In the previous game in the series, Jedi Outcast, there
was a simple console cheat which made slicing stormtroopers into
salami possible. This option is gone in JA, maybe to preserve
LucasArts’ squeecky clean image. But you can still enable it by
following the instructions below (%install%
refers to where the game
is installed, on my system it’s c:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars
Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
).
Open the
%install%\GameData\base\jaconfig.cfg
file in a text editorEnter the following lines ( or replace them if they exist ):
- seta g_saberMoreRealistic “99”
- seta g_saberEntMarks “99”
- seta g_dismemberment “99”
Save the file
I have a autoexec.cfg
file in the same directory containing the line
helpusobi 1
, the cheat mode enabler in JO. I don’t know if it’s
necessary, though.
Another cool option seems to be g_saberpickupabledroppedsabers 1
,
which is supposed to give you the ability to pick up other
lightsabers. Haven’t had time to test it yet though. Update: doesn’t
seem to work.
