I am super excited to be releasing Jedi Knight Remastered 3.3! This versions major change gives us the OpenJKDF2 as the new backbone of the mod! This unlike the JKGFXMOD, OpenJKDF2 recreates the Jedi Knight Engine into C++ making possible to have Ultra Wide support, in game configuration options and eliminates the Stuttering problems we had with the JKGFXMOD all together! Since it recreates the engine we are now no longer tied to the limitations of the original game Engine!******************************************************************************

OpenJKDF2 v0.9.1 | Github.com
OpenJKDF2 is a function-by-function reimplementation of DF2 in C, with 64-bit ports to MacOS and Linux. Files are organized as closely to the original game as possible, based on symbols from the Grim Fandango Remaster Android/Linux/macOS port, as well as scattered assertions from various other games. It also contains the original versions of byacc and flex used for COG script parsing.After reaching out to Max about the Texture packs he released a version of OpenJKDF2 that actually allows us to implement the "Remastered" Texture packs into this new Engine of the Game! One of the best features about this new engine is it has in game configurations! Unlike the JKGFXMOD (where you had to open the jkgm.json file in order to configure it) for OpenJKDF2 all you have to do is open up the display menu and you have all kinds of options added! You can now even change Field of view and Limit the Frame Rate from this menu and it doesn't require extra Exe files or separate third party programs! Check out the screen shot below showing all the amazing features that the Mod has in the menu!Vurt's JK-DF2 Extreme Definition Texture Pack See Version 1.1b
Nexusmods.com
This mod currently contains around 720 new textures for the game, basically overhauling almost the entire game apart from some of the smaller details where graphics aren't as noticeable.Mods and fixes from blackhawk3d1: Moddb.com
1) HD Switches & More: Moddb.com
This updates common switches and other textures to use high definition AI-upscaled textures. The whole reason for this was that I wanted the alien switch to look sharper, and got carried away.
2) Weegee Model Fix for Jedi Knight Remastered 3.2: Moddb.com
This is a fix that will make Weegee render correctly by providing the JKGFXEXT1 textures in .mat format in a single .gob file.
3) Kyle Katarn HD Textures / Fixes Pack for Jedi Knight Remastered: Moddb.com
This updates Kyle Katarn's 3d model textures, as provided in the excellent Jedi Knight Remastered mod. Only used one version of the kyle updates so if you wish to have a different version of kyle download the mod and check it out.EMJK - Enhancement Mod for JkGfxMod (JK Edition) 1.0 [FINAL FGR VERSION]
Moddb.com
Features higher detail models from JKE and the JK community in addition to readjusted lightsabers, muzzle flashes and Explosions.Jedi Knight Neural Upscale Texture Pack
Moddb.com
This is a replacement texture pack for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. These textures were upscaled using ESRGAN and a custom model. This texture pack is intended for use by mod authors as a base for their own high-resolution retexture projects. Although this texture pack is usable without further changes, the textures in this pack are quite raw. Most of them have artifacts from the upscaling process, which in a complete effort should be manually removed by an artist.Authors MAY use this mod as a base to build additional mods provided that you give proper credit.
