Firestorm brought a very serious bug to my attention. It had to do with the user database that we use for the level rating/commenting system and the Editor's Corner. The resolution of this bug may cause problems in some of the level comments. So, if you add a comment and get some strange errors, please email me with the exact level you were commenting on, and I'll see what I can do to fix it. If you have a user name that doesn't work or that suddenly stopped working, try to re-register it, and if that doesn't work, email me and I'll look into it. For more technical information on this bug, read on...

Basically, when we moved to the Recon Gamer servers, we moved off of a Linux server onto a Windows server. MySQL on Windows isn't case sensitive, while it is on Linux. PHP, on the other hand, is case-sensitive on both. So when my PHP scripts were checking for duplicate users (when someone registered), it wasn't finding any. This means that it was allowing people to register names like 'Brian' and 'BRIAN' (which are different), but when trying to login with those names, it didn't know which one to check the password on (because to MySQL, they were both the same). So it was generally allowing the first person to register the name to use it, but all the subsequent registrations would get strange errors. The resolution was to delete the unique indexes in the database (since they weren't working anyway), delete all the duplicate entries, and then add a new unique index to the user name field. Strange stuff.

If you're having problems accessing Lucasarts.com (as are half the people in the chat room right now), Jipe has kindly mirrored the screenshots here.

Hey everybody! The new Jedi Outcast Site has some pretty cool updates. The updates included new screenshots that will make you drool when you see them. Also, they have a new section up called "Models" that shows some of the enemies. Lastly, they started another new section called "Community". It tells about some of the JK II fan sites including Jedi Knight II.net. Have fun looking at the pictures!

Description: STORY: After the long bloody battle in Hostile Takeover the remaining of the Troopers had abandoned all hope of defeating you. Running for there base a few miles away, they were stopped by a destructive earthquake in the tunnel. Thereby finishing the last of them off and restoring peace to your home. -This is an expanded version of the Hostile Takeover level I made already. Except this time I fixed problems and most of the bugs. There are now vehicles in the level that drive around, and when activated shoot or drop projectiles. The level now has a shed in the back yard, a septic tank, more wooded areas, multiple ways to the basement, and some sniper points. I recommend playing this level with realistic mods like SS3Beta9 and Sniper Arena. There is no AI in the level because I found it was to hard for me to do synced AI.

Description: SaberDome Maximus was designed with the saber enthusiast in mind. There are a host of different areas within the level to play, from a main fighting pad, to basement tunnels, to spectator floors, and a maze. While sabering is the level's original intent, beta testing revealed that some fun gun battles can take place here. In addition, this level was created for the Saber Battle X JK mod (SBX2 or higher). It also features original music and voice acting from the author of SBX himself, ShadowX! 3D acceleration is highly recommended as well.

Description: This is King of the Ring (not that wussy wrestling stuff). Well, I'm sure if you are on The Zone a lot, you have heard about this level already. If not, I'll tell you. The object is to use C-Rifles to knock each other out of the boundaries and into their own death. When playing, you would play to minus 5 instead of 5 (for instance). You can also use Sabers and Rails to rack points up. But it's a lot of fun just Concs. I put a full version of Space Arena in here (Traps, Mines, Rail Guns, ETC...) and then a Plain version (Just Concs and health and stuff, no traps, secret room is locked). Have fun people. www.king.2ya.com is the site for the project. There may be more King of the Ring levels in the future. This is all for now =D.
