Jedi Knight II: Ultimate

Overview

Widescreen resolution

1. Go to <path-to-game>GameDatabase.
2. Create and open autoexec.cfg.
3. Add seta r_customwidth X where X is width of your desired resolution (e.g. seta r_customwidth 1680).
4. Add seta r_customheight Y where Y is height of your desired resolution (e.g. seta r_customheight 1050).
5. Add seta cg_fov Z to set the FOV. For 16:9 screens use a value of 97, and for 16:10 screens use a value of 90.
6. Add seta r_mode -1 to make the game use custom resolutions.

You can also paste everything into an autoexec.cfg!

Crosshair improvements

1. Go to <path-to-game>GameDatabase.
2. Create a file called autoexec.cfg.
3. Add all or some of the following lines, modifying them to suit your preferences:

cg_dynamicCrosshair “0” # Disables auto-aim (the crosshair “jumping” onto enemies)
cg_crosshairSize “12” # Makes crosshair half default size. Lower to 2 for just a dot.
cg_crosshairX “3” # Moves crosshair slightly right to line up with where weapon fire actually hits
cg_crosshairY “5” # Moves crosshair slightly down to line up with where weapon fire actually hits
cg_crosshairIdentifyTarget “0” # Disables crosshair turning red on enemies and green on friendlies
cg_crosshairForceHint “0” # Disables hints to use a force power on the targeted enemy

You can also paste everything into an autoexec.cfg!

Enable full dismemberment

1. Navigate to <path-to-game>GameDatabase and create a file called autoexec.cfg in the same folder.
2. Add the following lines.

Singleplayer:

seta sp_language “0”
seta ui_iscensored “0”
seta broadsword “1”
seta g_dismemberment “3”
seta g_dismemberProbabilities “100”
seta g_saberrealisticcombat “1”

g_saberrealisticcombat //sharpness of lightsaber blade
0 (normal), 1 (higher damage), 2 (cuts parts off when damage is fatal), 3 (even touching the blade kills instantly)
g_dismemberment //how much can get sliced off
0 (nothing), 1 (hands, feet), 2 (hands, feet, arms, legs), 3 (hands, feet, arms, legs, head, torso)
g_dismemberprobabilities //how likely dismemberment is to happen
0 to 100 (the number being the chance in percentage)
g_corpseRemovalTime //dead bodies’ disappearance
0 (leave bodies), 1 to 120 (the number seconds after which the bodies will disappear)
broadsword //soft bodies (rag-doll physics)
0 (disabled), 1 (enabled), 2 (enabled and skips death animation) [/i]

Multiplayer:

g_dismember “100”
cg_dismember “3”

g_dismember //disable/enable dismemberment
0 (disabled), 100 (enabled)

cg_dismember //how much can get sliced off
0 (nothing), 1 (hands, feet, arms, legs), 2 (hands, feet, arms, legs, head, torso)

Diese Methode funktioniert nur wenn man das Spiel komplett auf Englisch gestellt hat.

Für Deutsche die das Spiel gerne auf Deutsch Uncut spielen wollen geht es hier weiter.

#define Curves_formula 2 //[1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11] The contrast s-curve you want to use.
//1 = Sine, 2 = Abs split, 3 = Smoothstep, 4 = Exp formula, 5 = Simplified Catmull-Rom (0,0,1,1), 6 = Perlins Smootherstep
//7 = Abs add, 8 = Techicolor Cinestyle, 9 = Parabola, 10 = Half-circles. 11 = Polynomial split.
//Note that Technicolor Cinestyle is practically identical to Sine, but runs slower. In fact I think the difference might only be due to rounding errors.
//I prefer 2 myself, but 3 is a nice alternative with a little more effect (but harsher on the highlight and shadows) and it’s the fastest formula.

I underlined my attitudes and changes once again.
