Optional and quality-of-life features, even mouselook, can be disabled if you want the original experience. You can ignore it entirely, use it just as an exit save so you don't have to play long user levels in one sitting, or full save and load with quicksaves like Doom or Duke Nukem 3D. Optional Quality of Life improvements, such as full mouselook, aiming reticle, improved Boba Fett AI, autorun, and more.Ī new save system that works seamlessly with the existing checkpoint and lives system. Note, however, that menus currently require the mouse.
GPU Renderer with perspective correct pitch - play at much higher resolutions with improved performance.Įxtended Limits - TFE, by default, will support much higher limits than the original game which removes most of the HOM (Hall of Mirrors) issues in advanced mods.įull input binding, mouse sensitivity adjustment, and controller support. TFE also includes a floating-point software renderer that supports widescreen, including ultrawide, and much higher resolutions.

Outlaws support is coming in version 2.0. Version 1.01 has been released which addresses several issues in the initial release.įull Dark Forces support, including mods. Version 1.02 has been released that addresses additional quality-of-life issues, and many custom-level issues as well. TFE replaces the executable, not the game. Like a traditional source port, you need the original game to play. While TFE supports modern GPU and high-resolution software rendering - the original 320x200 fixed-pointe renderer has been preserved - keeping the DOS experience for those who want it. The Force Engine provides modern conveniences and control methods and removes the need to set up DosBox and deal with cycles-based bugs such as getting stuck on ice or having the missiles that the final boss fires move too fast or not move at all. 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. After 3 years of development, I am ready to announce the Version 1.0 Release of The Force Engine (TFE).
