The Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster was released by Nightdive Studios in February 2024.

It uses the base game files of Dark Forces but adds high resolution, true colour assets.

GOBS

The GOB container file is still used to contain maps and assets that are used by the game engine.

The Dark Forces Remaster uses the same four GOBs as the original game (DARK.GOB, SPRITES.GOB, TEXTURES.GOB, SOUNDS.GOB) and these are unchanged.

Three new GOBs have been added.

  • ENHANCED.GOB - this contains all the new (high resolution) textures and sprites
  • EXTRAS.GOB - this contains the bonus Avenger level for the Vault
  • OVERRIDE.GOB - this contains alternatives for the ashtray and medkit sprites

DARKEX.KPF

DarkEx.KPF is a ZIP file containing various files used by the game's menu interface. There are several subdirectories.

cutscene_scripts Scripts for the enhanced cutscenes (DCSS files)
fonts Fonts, which appear to be in a standard .TTF format
gfx Graphics for the game's menu interface (mostly in PNG format)
localization Text files containing UI text and subtitles in different languages
midi ?
progs This appears to contain shader scripts
tactile This appears to contain files that control force-feedback (vibration) on controllers; the format is unknown

There are also several .CFG text files which appear to contain the default control bindings.
