The author of the Dark Forces custom level series "The Dark Tide" is working on an implementation of Dark Forces in Unreal Engine.

Here's hoping it goes somewhere.
I'm sure this will be finished and won't be another UE4 remake of a classic game that goes nowhere.
you know, a simple DF1 remake in DF2 engine would suffice.

That motion blur is absurd almost any slight movement sets it off.
>not redoing the graphics
What an enormous waste of time.

I'm sure they will at some point this just seems like a proof of concept right now. Though why they're doing this in the first place is beyond me.
Why would anyone do that?
Half of what makes Dark Forces good is how cool the engine is.

This looks like a really stupid waste of time, but I guess it's an excuse to remind people that Dark Forces has some really cool community-made missions.

TIE Defender Base, Mt. Kurek, and Discovery at Ironfort are my favorites.

whoa, what the hell happened to df-21? I see broken images and "Under Construction" pages everywhere. You can't even browse the missions properly.

The website has passed through a couple webmasters over the years, and Lucius (The Dark XL guy) took over the hosting for a couple years. There was and issue with the Web-host, and the entire website was lost. Jont had a partial mirror, and has been slowly rebuilding the site from various sources.
All the important levels are uploaded, but many of the other downloads haven't bee re-uploaded.

Did anything ever become of DarkXL?

JED (Jedi Knight Editor) featured a Dark Forces to Jedi Knight level converter. Last time I tried it, it cut the levels into billions of triangles, as the Sith engine only supports Convex sectors.

This level took the original Secret Base from Dark Forces and expanded on it for Mysteries of the Sith.

There isn't a Dark Forces remake on Jedi Academy?

Ugh. My thought's exactly.
I can't watch this shit without getting triggered because of this shit.
I really dislike the unreal engine. It just seems to go way overboard with motion blur, bloom and all that shit.

Since he released source code, some people made a few fixes for his buggy unfinished shit. Haven't played it myself, but some people say it's playable now.
