Submitting Your File


On this page you will find information on what requirements you need to fulfil and what you will need to do in order to submit and have your submission accepted on JKFiles. It may look like a long list, but most if it is just simple common sense!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at:

team@jk2files.com

Once you have read through the submission guidelines and made sure you have completed all the requirements it will be time to submit your file. A link to the File Submission Page can be found at the bottom of this page. (Just to try and make sure you actually read through this page first wink )
Submission Rules


  • Please note that we no longer accept duel music mods containing copyrighted music, since this is in essence redistributing the music without it being part of a wider mod and thus is of questionable legality. However if you have a duel music mod which contains music that is not copyrighted (such as freely distributable music) you may submit this, so long as appropriate credit is given to its original author and some proof is provided that the author of the music has allowed it to be freely distributed on the internet.

  • Absolutely no pornographic material is allowed in any file. If we find any we will reject your file, or remove it if it has been previously posted.

  • Mods featuring Nazi imagery, (particularly those infamous Hitler Skins) are now banned from JKFiles in accordance with the wider rules of the FileFront Network. These files may be permissible on sites for WW2 themed games, but they are not acceptable for a Star Wars themed site.

  • Skins or mods featuring major religious or cultural figures that may cause offence to our members may be rejected at the discretion of the Site Staff or Site Manager.

  • In accordance with the above, we will reject any file which features any kind of racism, just don't do it!

  • Whilst some mild language or cursing may be allowed as part of the context of the file, as with the comments, obscene language is not permitted. Don't put it in your read-me, and don't put it in the name of your file. Don't put it anywhere.

  • Please do not use ported models or textures from other games, files that include these will be rejected. Sounds and music from other games and CD soundtracks that you have bought will be allowed as long as you do not include too many and make sure you properly credit the original game/music developers. The reason for this allowance is that custom models and textures can be made for JKA/JK2; we have many talented modellers and texture artists in our community who may be able to help you there;

    (Please ask in our modding forums!).

    However, custom sounds and music are extremely difficult to make, and whilst a good texture artist can make a texture from scratch that will look just like one used in another game, nobody can reproduce music from scratch.
  • Submission Checklist


  • Make sure you zip your file! .RAR files will be accepted, but .zip files are preferable, as they are more universal.

  • Make sure your file works properly. We can not stress the importance of beta testing your file. Beta test it thoroughly - any errors we find will be mentioned in the review and files do not work or have very significant errors (such as missing all textures) may be rejected.

  • Always put your nickname and your e-mail in the body of your read-me. Files with readme's that do not include the authors name or e-mail address will be rejected.

  • If you submit a file with borrowed material you must adequately credit the author of said material in your readme as well as provide the readme from the original file.

  • You must include the legal section at the bottom of your readme, as shown in our readme template below.

  • You must specify which mod category you think your file should go in.

  • Only submit files you have made. This also applies to compilation packs. Do not submit a compilation pack of other authors' work (or, conversely, pull a piece of a mod out and submit it individually).

  • Along with the above, if you are creating some kind of small modification to an author's work, please include the least amount of material necessary. It is somewhat rude to, for instance, change a model's eye color and resubmit the entire skin and call it your own. Remember to be courteous to other authors -- if you can make slight modifications in your own PK3 and have the downloaders download the original material in tandem, this is more appropriate than including a lot of unaltered material.

  • You should include your own screenshots with your file. The reviewer may or may not take their own screenshots of your mod at their discretion, so its best to include your own, just in case! Files without screenshots will perform poorly and will lack popularity, and will result in your file not being downloaded as much. Please take the time to take screenshots of your file and submit them in JPG format only, with a file size less than 400kb, at least 200 pixels (width) by 150 pixels (height) in size, 1024x768 is the preferred screenshot size however.
  • Sample Readme


    You must include a read-me with your file or it will be rejected. Absolutely no exceptions. This means that even non-modifications, such as videos, require a read-me as well. Here is an example of a simple read-me format.

    Please note that you may now use alternate contact information instead of your main E-Mail address if you are not comfortable with supplying that. Other forms of contact we accept are: G-Mail or MSN Messenger adresses and AIM or Xfire contact details . You may also supply your FileFront Forum Name (if you are registered) so that you can be contacted by Private Message if needs be.

    **Asterisked items are required in your read-me. Please remove all asterisks if you plan on copying this read-me format.

    We look forward to receiving your files, so send them in! Waiting times can vary depending on how many reviewers are active and how many files are in our waiting lists, but please allow at least 7 days (1 week) for your file to be reviewed. We will try to get files done within 1 week as often as possible, but please understand that this is not always possible. If you have been waiting for more than 2 weeks and there is still no sign of your file on our site and you have not received a rejection e-mail please e-mail us on the above address and we will see if we can find out what is going on with your file and help you the best we can!

    Thanks, and happy modding! smile
