I. Installation
Note that Gunslinger's Academy has higher recommended system requirements than Jedi Academy does. This is due to advanced post-processing effects and far greater model detail than any of the basic game gun models.
Tested systems, and their settings:
- nVidia GEForce 210, 1GB RAM - Very High textures, High Model detail, postprocessing on, vsync off, dynamic glow off
- (Add a system here)
- (Add a system here)
In addition to the base files, Gunslinger's Academy saves an additional block of data that is roughly 1MB in size.

Gunslinger's Academy utilizes a 64 player cap patch. This is only enabled for jampded.exe on Windows systems (in the future, Linux systems will be given support)

TO INSTALL:
• Take caution to back up or remove any previous installations of GSA.
• Unpack all contents of the .zip into your GameData folder (usually located within C:/Program Files/Lucasarts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/ on Windows XP)
• Run the GSA.bat. You will know the mod is running when "Gunslinger's Academy" is displayed in green text on your main menu.

II. An Introduction

Gunslinger's Academy is the most visceral, dedicated first person shooting experience for Jedi Academy available to date. The concept of the mod wouldn't begin until around 2009 and 2010, when the two project leaders, eezstreet and Silverfang discussed their ideas for a modern shooting mod for Jedi Academy. Thus, Gunslinger's Academy was born.

After two (almost three) years of learning C and JA, and countless polies carved into the game's assets, the two began their uphill climb to the latest (and greatest yet) versions of GSA.
At first, the mod was to be styled around Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2. However, games became upgraded, and so did the style of the mod. More influences crowded the mod's style. Eventually, everything came together.

III. Features

- Over 20 new to JA weapon models, including the P90, the MP5, RPG, and more.
- 4 new maps
- 3 new skins
- Dozens of new effects, including advanced pixel shaders

- New Gametypes: Ninja, Hero TFFA, and more, including support for old JA gametypes such as Siege and Capture the Flag.
- Continuous achievement system, with over 40 achievements total.
- Smooth and balanced gameplay ironed out over hours of gameplay
- Loadout system: Choose a primary weapon, sidearm, explosive, and/or mix things up.
- Mutators to existing game modes: Hardcore mode and Instagib

- Dynamic accuracy system that improves based on actions performed

+button13: Aim Down Sights
/fmode: Change firing modes

VI. Additional Tips
* Switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading.
* Laser sights will turn off your crosshair, however they are more precise than your crosshair is. A laser pointed directly at a head while sniping almost always results in a headshot.
* Head shots are always marked in your obituaries (ex: Alora was spiked by Desann )
* Train yourself to reload directly after a grenade launcher shot.
* RPG rockets have a 25% chance to veer off course, 50% chance to fly a little drunkenly, and 25% chance to fly directly on-course. This does NOT mean that they ignore accuracy, however
* Time your shots to avoid gaining too much recoil or innaccuracy at a single stride
* All TASER attacks kill on one hit. Always. VIPs can only be taken down using the TASER.
* The AUG alt-fire doubles as a scope.

VIII. Changelog from 2.4.2

Bug Fixes
- Fixed grenade indicator's buggy positioning and angling. They should now be 100% accurate.
- In CO-OP mode, you can pick up weapons (as long as you have < 2 primary/sidearms)
- The Magnum, M16, M249 SAW, Sawed-Off Shotgun, M1014 and all other Auxiliary Weapons (those with classname "weapon_aux1-13" now fire from the face properly when firing down the sights or when scoped.
- NPCs no longer shoot at dead enemies (including players >_> )
- The Micro Uzi is now positioned properly while in ADS
- The P90 is now positioned properly while in ADS
- Assists no longer appear on targets you've killed
- Fixed a crash caused by flashbangs
- Fixed a crash caused by playing back demos
- You can no longer use Iron Sights and Sprinting at the same time
- Removed Sleight of Hand achievement
- Bots now reload correctly.
- Bots now use auxiliary weapons (WP_GLOCK onwards) properly.
- Bots now use the AK-104 and the M249 SAW properly (a fix over baseJA's horrible Concussion rifle mess)
- SIEGE NOW WORKS (confirmed 3/16/12)
- Fixed a bug which caused C4 to lie on its side (and rarely, shake when placed on patches)
- Fixed a bug which caused M249 SAW bullets to look and act like Concussion Rifle rounds
- Fixed a bug where Trainyard had no Steyr TMP on it.
- C4 now displays its proper model at all times.

Balance
- Added rolling for most guns
- Rolling now drains stamina (250 iirc)
- Jumping now drains stamina in addition to force...Ninja's jump height doesn't change regardless of stamina and their stamina doesn't drain when they jump. It drains stamina based on how high you jump afaik (30 for each ms of air time)
- Jump height is now based on stamina to some degree
- Rolling now requires 250 stamina
- The M98C, RPG, M14 EBR and the M249 SAW do not allow you to roll.
- Most sidearms (except the TASER) and the Sawed-Off Shotgun allow you to shoot and roll at the same time
- Redid Trainyard and Shipment's killstreak progression - You now get a Recon Team at 3, Portable Gatling Gun at 4, Missile Strike at 5 and Sentry Gun at 7
