About

I started to code the first version of this mod in 2005. Back then it was a private mod and only few people had access. So as a personal task and due to some people request i decided to re-code the mod and turn it into a public version, just as a legacy.

The next list is all features from the original Jedi Knight Plus private mod (2005 & 2008 versions) which need to be ported into the new source code, theres also a few new ones from people requests. (Each completed task will be marked with a check).
