Oh, and a 3D model viewer, in case you want to sit and marvel at the poly count for a while. On top of that, there's four wave-based survival levels(opens in new tab), and a sandbox mode. The fan remake comes from a developer named Ruppertle, who mostly tinkers with Arma mods when they aren't remaking '90s PC classics from scratch, and you can currently play through two levels from the original game in it.
Thankfully, someone's decided to remake the whole thing in Unreal Engine 4. But there's no getting around it, Dark Forces 2 is an ugly game by today's standards, which you'll only notice if you actually manage to get the thing running on modern machines. It's so good, in fact, that we were still singing its praises(opens in new tab) as recently as 2020, praising its lightsaber-swinging and movement. Full changelog in the posts below.It might be 26 years old, but Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 is still a banger. With the release of version 1.4, this post has been updated to reflect the changes. As of version 1.4 this is not necessary on Windows anymore, though. After saving the changes just change the configuration file back to "DARK.EXE" and you're good to go. I recommend the settings shown in the video. Then launch the game shortcut and set up the DeHacker as you like. for the GOG version it is "C:\GOG Games\Star Wars - Dark Forces\dosbox_DF.conf", for the Steam version "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Dark Forces\nf", or similar) and in it change "DARK.EXE" to "DFORCEDH.EXE". Lastly use "Save settings and Exit" and play the game as you normally would.Īlternatively, you can also run DFORCEDH.EXE on a native DOS system or run it via DOSBox, for example by opening the DOSBox configuration file (e.g. Then run DFORCEDH.EXE and make all changes you would like, or use the "Set Modern Controls" option to automatically change controls to use WASD, full mouselook, right mouse button and crosshair. Only the DFORCEDH.EXE included in the zip-file is needed to run it, but especially the included documentation is definitely worth a read. You can also extract them to a different folder if you installed the game via Steam or GOG and have it detect the game folder automatically. Here's a video to see it fully in action (The setup is outdated as it shows version 1.3):ĭownload the zip-file below and extract the contents into your Dark Forces game folder. Other optional features include a No-CD hack for the disc version of the game, "always run", "auto-jump", and more. Full mouselook, secondary fire on right mouse button, customizable crosshair and also optionally disabled auto-aim, making it control more like other 90's first-person shooters.
With the latest versions of DeHacker tool mouse controls in Dark Forces are finally implemented as though they were always fully featured in the game.
