Jedi Knight II: Ultimate

Widescreen resolution | Crosshair improvements | Enable full dismemberment | FX_v3.0
High resolution loading screens | Bloody Dismemberment | UltimateWeapons | Imperial Base Officers 1.0

Widescreen resolution

1. Go to <path-to-game>\GameData\base\.
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>\GameData\base.
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>\GameData\base 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)

//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.

[NanaVR]

the autoexec.cfg made the game windows even smaller. I can't make it run at 16:9 at 1080p. Any help?

[Fitzpatricc]

The autoexec.cfg does nothing. I copied the dismemberment commands but not even a hand falls off.
Do you not need the ''HelpUsObi 1'' command, like when putting it all manually in the console?

[daniel280456]

This worked for me https://www.moddb.com/mods/jk2-fx-mod

[daniel280456]

I got the same issue (black bars left & right) with Dungeon Siege 1. Apparently it's an issue with some Intel graphics cards.

[daniel280456]

I tried to change only the resolution, and it doesn't work. Same for Jedi Academy.

[Don42]

Somehow the ragdoll physics and death anim skip from Broadsword 2 don't seem to work although they clearly appear in the games main config file after adding the commands to autoexec and running the game once, is my game broken or does the german version have ragdoll physics deactivated in a hard coded fashion?

[Arie Safari]

Everything worked for me y'all just did it wrong

[Dawn]

did the resolution thing and it didnt worked

[Vykarr]

Nothing in this guide worked. I would also assume that when adding the File, autoexec.cfg, you're supposed to add a .txt file. Other wise, I followed it to a 'T' and none of it worked. Pls h4lp

[ACRONYM]

If you have trouble with the game zooming into one corner on high resolution, you can set it to application scaling. You can do this by right-clicking 'jk2sp.exe' in the main folder, selecting properties, compatibility, and selecting 'change high DPI settings' at the bottom of the popup.
