    Nice. I probably won't do the shaders because I'm not a huge fan of Ray Tracing on old games but 1080p with the UI not being tiny makes it worth doing the first part

    GREAT tutorial as usual. If anyone runs an ultra wide monitor like me. There was an issue with the HUD where you could only see half of it. Go into the configuration file and change the HUD layout from 2.0 to 1.0. That fixed it for me. Also if you blaster leave this strange pixlated box after firing it on your screen change the brightness in game all the way to minimum. So far those were the only two issues I found. Also, 120 FOV seems to be the right fit if your running an ultra wide monitor. Im at 3440x1440

    Anyway to get this remastered desktop shortcut to run with Steam? I don't mean adding as a non-steam game, but to have hours tracked as if it was running the original exe. I've tried pasting the remastered desktop shortcut in the Jedi Knight folder and renaming it as the original JediKnight.exe to no avail. It doesn't seem like the shortcut is the actual .exe but the injector? Not sure yet...

    @LinkinForcer thank you for this amazing tutorial!! I got the mod up and running, however, when the game starts, I get a black screen and can only see the health and ammo meters. I have been able to bypass the black screen by adding dgvoodoo2 files which allow me to see the game, however, now certain textures in the game are bright green and red and any time I try to change my weapon, the game crashes and takes me back to the STEAM menu.
    Is there any fix you can recommend? I followed the tutorial for MOTS and it runs flawlessly, but for some reason it won’t run properly with JKDF. I would love to be able to play the game with the mod as well

      I'm nit sure why that is happening. I recently reinstalled this game a few days ago through steam and followed my own tutorial to make sure I got mine up and going correctly and everything is working fine.
      Only thing I can think of is maybe there were corrupt files during download.
      I'd uninstall the game, make sure the install folder is gone from the steam folder (if you have to delete it). I'd delete the mod file you downloaded. Then install the game again and download load the mod file again and see if that helps.

    Hi LinkinForcer, Great tutorial on how to apply Ray Tracing to the Dark Forces Remastered Mod, I'm definitely keen to try that out. But before I do are you able to tell me how you managed to get the Music working in the game with the Jedi Knight Remastered 2.0 Mod. I have created the Music folder with .ogg files and applied the dll files from Jedi Knight: DF2 (& MotS) Music Wrapper 1.2, as I've noticed you have as well. Problem is I can't get the Music to work with the Jedi Knight Remastered 2.0 Mod applied, yet without it, it works perfectly on the base game without the mod applied. Do you have any suggestions? I have tried all the following steps listed in the Jedi Knight: DF2 (& MotS) Music Wrapper 1.2
    For example; If you still don't have music, perform the following steps, preferably checking music after each one:
    * Verify that you have a subfolder named Music with track files named Track12[-32].ogg (JK) or Track02[-14].ogg (MotS).
    If you don't (or you'd like higher quality versions):
    * For JK, follow the directions at
    pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Jedi_Knight_%E2%80%93_Dark_Forces_II#Higher_quality_music
    * For MotS, follow the directions at
    pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Jedi_Knight_%E2%80%93_Mysteries_of_the_Sith#Higher_quality_music
    * Rename JK.exe (JK) or JKM.exe (MotS) to something else (ex. JediKnight.exe). This will disassociate the executable from installed compatibility settings that can interfere with music playback.
    * Double-click on the provided .reg file. This will remove the compatibility settings from the registry. ****Only thing I haven't tried.
    * Delete/rename winmm.dll and rename winmm_alternate.dll to winmm.dll. See below for the differences between the two version.
    The only thing I didn't try to resolve the issue was the second last step to * Double-click on the provided .reg file. This will remove the compatibility settings from the registry.
    Appreciate any help that you can provide.
    Also just checking is there any other way to access Pascal Gilcher's Patreon Ray tracing Shader files without subscribing or is that the only way?

      @@LinkinForcer Thanks for getting back to me and letting me know, I’ve done a bit of digging and discovered that the dinput.dll file that was included with the mouse wheel key binder seems to conflict with the music loading. Turns out once I replaced that with the dinputto8 dll file the music came back on, at the expense of having to rebind the keys to the mouse wheel. Just in case anyone has a similar issue keep this in mind.
      Also as I’m in Australia that $5 is now $7 and assuming it’s in US dollars that’s over $10 here, so hard to justify monthly. It’s a shame you can’t have one off payments!

The first level, Double cross on Nar Shaddaa, I can’t get through the second door when you go up the ramp, I’ve seen people do it on walkthroughs and the same door won’t open for me, it has a red locked light, there’s no panel on the wall, your supposed to be able to walk up to it and it opens and then you cross the narrow walkway, apparently where your supposed to drop far down to the second secret area. Does anyone know how to get around this, I’ve reinstalled the game (from original discs) and restarted a new game each time and same door is always stuck and won’t open. Any help greatly appreciated

    I came over from the previous Jedi Knight remastered video and reinstalled the game and the new 2.1 installer but I still get the same issue with the missing .dll files when launching through the inject. Also In the video the shortcuts for the game, configuration guide etc were added to the desktop but that wasn't the case for me. I may just have to play the game with original graphics because I can't seem to find a solution at this moment in time. I am wondering for anyone else if you open the game through the other JK files, are the textures all skewed and oddly coloured on characters?( This is the only way I can open the game after installing the mod).
