Extract text from Jedi Knight bot files (JKB)
To convert JKB bot files to another format, you need Jedi Academy or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Bot Configuration Script" file type, you need software like Jedi Academy or a similar tool.
A .jkb file is a Jedi Knight Bot configuration file primarily used by Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, a PC game developed by Raven Software. These files act as the AI brain for computer-controlled opponents, defining their combat reflexes, lightsaber proficiencies, accuracy, and custom chat messages for multiplayer modes.
While structurally they are just uncompiled plain text scripts running on a modified id Tech 3 engine, the proprietary .JKB extension creates unnecessary friction. Modern operating systems like Windows and macOS do not recognize the format natively. Double-clicking a .jkb file triggers an annoying "How do you want to open this file?" prompt. Sharing custom bot mods with other players often requires explaining manual file associations just to read the script.
To make these files instantly readable and editable on any device, convert them to standard formats. Convert to TXT for universal compatibility with basic text editors. For developers building modding databases, convert to JSON or XML to parse the bot's configuration variables into structured, web-ready data.
