This contest will be based on the "duel" multiplayer gametype in Jedi Academy just as its predecessor was. The contest will feature prizes contributed by Raven Software including 2 signed copies of JA PC, Raven t-shirts, and a hat!

Judging will be based on a few different factors including, but not limited too, 1) gameplay 2) level-design and 3) gameplay mechanics. Judging will be done by 5 people. Two of the judges will be, Zer0-L0giC (of Raven Software) and myself (redfella). The other three will be selected before judging begins.

Also, submitted maps must include botroutes, power duel accessibility, and must follow a Star Wars theme! Any maps that look like q3, doom, etc. will be disqualified! Acceptable themes could be (for example) a Tatooine bar, a Naboo palace promonade, a Coruscant space port, a Corellian beach, etc. etc. -Just keep it Star Warsish.

Players are permitted to pack only two weapons at a time, swapping them with other weapons lying on the ground whenever they like. We also have to point out that the development team fitted in an admirable assortment of Star Wars-flavored firearms. Your character will be able to advance through the game wielding weapons like the DC-17m, DC-15s Blaster Pistol, Wookie bowcaster, and a whole bunch of enemy weaponry to boot, such as the Trandoshan Slaver Shotgun, Geonosian Elite Beam Weapon, and more. Commando units are also equipped with handy switchblade slotted on their left wrist, allowing them to perform deadly melee attacks should they run out of ammo.

The SP Stargate Convertion for Jedi Knight is on going, but to reduce some of the wait (which has been WAY too long already) a small "preview" Beta mod has now been released. Due to popular demand, the FNP90 Submachine Gun, Zat'nik'atel and the infamous Jaffa Staff Weapon are available, as well as a new player model. Thanks to jEDIkIRBY for hosting the file, it can be found via this Showcase thread. Please respect my hard work and files contained within.

• Holding Shift when clicking Give Item or double-clicking the item to give will transfer the entire stack, without shift it moves the items one at a time.
• Fixed a bug where the Walk key was not bindable.
• Made a fix to the Force Point Regeneration item property so it actually regenerates Force points.
• Dead party members will no longer show up later in the game. What with them being dead and all.

In the April issue of Computer Gaming World, there's a preview of Republic Commando. Don't worry, you're not missing much, the actual text of the article gives few new details. It does mention shields, different types of mission objectives (assasination and rescue), and menion that you can carry two weapons, one of which is your trusty DC-17 rifle with optional add-ons. The gameplay will take place in three large areas: Geonosis where you do side missions to the raging battle, a Republic Capital Ship where you recon and attempt to retake the ship, and Kashyyyk where you assist the Wookiees in resisting Seperatist invasion. The article also has a few screenshots, including one where you're shooting Genosians, one where you see a Droid-deka, and one where a commando is holding his side and hurt.
