Handler notes
You can play the vanilla JK:JA splitscreen with this handler, no mods are required. Has full controller support and right stick analog input for aiming, but no left stick analog input for movement. Your left stick acts like buttons, as if you are using WASD on the keyboard.
Left stick analog support requires the Jedi Outcast & Jedi Academy Xinput Support v2 mod, based on OpenJK, installed in your game files.
If you want to play Open Jedi Project Enhanced you can install the version of your choice from moddb.
If you want to play Knights of the Force 2.1 you can install it from moddb. Knights of the Force does not support analog input for either stick at this time.
If you want to play Movie Battles II you can install it from moddb or their official site. Movie Battles II does not support analog input for either stick at this time.
This handler also supports OpenJK, but you cannot have it installed at the same time as the Jedi Outcast & Jedi Academy Xinput Support v2 mod. OpenJK does not support analog input for either stick at this time.
◦ Supports xinput gamepads and multiple mice and keyboards.
◦ Read the handler notes in the UI carefully.
