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.
| 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) |
