Full Outlaws support is planned in the future, for version 2.0.įor Dark Forces, the goal is for TFE to act as a viable replacement for DosBox and the original executable for most players, to be used to not only play the vanilla levels but also the many user mods developed for the original game - and I believe that goal has finally been met with the release of version 1.0. For version 1.0, Dark Forces support is complete but Outlaws is not yet playable. The Force Engine is a project with the goal to reverse-engineer and rebuild the Jedi Engine for modern systems and the games that used that engine - Dark Forces and Outlaws. Full changelog in the posts below.After 3 years of development, I am ready to announce the Version 1.0 Release of The Force Engine (TFE). 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Here's a video to see it fully in action (The setup is outdated as it shows version 1.3):ĭownload the zip-file below and extract the contents into your Dark Forces game folder.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.
