OpenSith: reimplementing the Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II engine

OpenSith reimplements the engine of Star Wars: Jedi Knight — Dark Forces II in Unity. It renders JKL levels and animates 3DO models. There is no COG parser or COG virtual machine, so the game is not playable, though a level can be walked around.
