welcome to the jedi academy
Welcome, apprentice. I am Luke Skywalker, and it is my pleasure to inform you that you have been chosen to undergo training in the ways of the Jedi at the academy on Yavin 4. You are about to embark on a long and sometimes perilous journey, one in which you will learn more about yourself than you can possibly imagine. Here, we will train you in the ways of the Force. You will learn to defend yourself with a lightsaber. You will also study diplomacy, history, and more.
Should you complete the training, you will represent the Jedi Order as a guardian of peace and justice throughout the galaxy. The path before you is arduous, and not all will be able to complete the trials that lie ahead. Know also that the path to the dark side is ever present, and the temptations are many. Be mindful of your task at hand, and let the light guide you in all your decisions. Those who are successful will enter a brand new world within themselves. May the Force be with you.

SETUP
The Setup screen allows you to view and/or adjust the following graphical and sound settings:
VIDEO
Select this tab to adjust the game’s video settings for optimal performance on your machine. Users with high-end machines should be able to turn on most of these features. If you experience slow frame rates, you can come back and turn off options.
»VIDEO QUALITY: Choose from Normal, Fast, Fastest, Custom or High Quality. Each choice alters the remaining video settings to pre-set levels to adjust your system’s performance.
»VIDEO MODE: Adjust the video resolution of the game. Higher resolutions mean crisper graphics, but the frame rate may drop. Experiment to determine the best resolution for your video card.
»COLOUR DEPTH: Choose between Default, 16-Bit or 32-Bit colour. Default will set the game to the colour depth that your desktop is set to. Setting colour depth to 16-Bit may help increase performance.
»FULL SCREEN: If this option is turned off, you can run the game in a desktop window, provided your video card supports this feature.
»GEOMETRIC DETAIL: Select how much polygonal detail is represented in the game world. Selecting a lower setting will increase performance.
»TEXTURE DETAIL: Choose between Low, Medium, High or Very High. Higher detail requires more system resources.
»TEXTURE QUALITY: Default, 16-Bit and 32-Bit textures are available. NOTE: 32-Bit textures are the most system-intensive and
are not supported on all video cards.
»TEXTURE FILTER: Toggle between Bilinear and Trilinear graphics filtering. Trilinear filtering uses more system resources and is not supported on all video cards.
»DETAILED SHADERS: Turn off shaders if you are experiencing in-game slowdown.
»VIDEO SYNC: Synchronises the game’s frame rate with the refresh rate of your monitor.

MORE VIDEO
»BRIGHTNESS: Adjust the brightness of the game by moving this slider left or right. The number 6 should be barely visible, for optimum brightness.
»SHADOWS: Adjust the quality of shadows in the game from None, Simple or Volumetric. Volumetric utilises more system resources.

»DYNAMIC GLOW: Toggle to turn dynamic glow on or off for lightsabers and other glowing objects. This option drains system resources. Turn off to improve performance.
»LIGHT FLARES: Toggle to show halos around light sources.
»WALL MARKS: Toggle to see wall damage from weapon fire and lightsaber usage. Turning Wall Marks off will increase performance.
»ANISOTROPIC FILTER: If on, elements of the scene will appear smoother when viewed at near-edge angles. Your video card must support this feature before it can be turned on.

NOTE: Students may also use the Quick Save feature from within the game to quickly save their progress.
the DATAPAD
All students are given access to a Datapad (TAB key), which serves as a personal digital assistant, allowing them to review mission objectives as well as their current arsenal of Force powers, weapons and combat moves.
NOTE: Once completed, the circle next to the objective will be filled in.
Once the Datapad is open, the mission objectives are displayed in the text window. Students can also access the following options from the bottom of the Datapad screen by clicking on them:

ONSCREEN
INTERFACE [HUD]
One of the most valuable tools a student has is the onscreen interface, or HUD. Some students may recognise this display from previous journeys. Those who aren’t as familiar with the interface should take a moment to review this lesson.
LEFT STATUS |
This display shows a student’s shield and health status. The |
DISPLAY |
number and bar appearing in red represent health. Full |
|
healthequals 100 units. The number and bar appearing in |
|
green represents the student’s personal shield strength. |
|
Shields absorb all energy-based attack damage, but do not |
|
function against damage caused by falling or being crushed. |
