Jake "Clu" Keating Interview at JK2 Reviews - Kedri @ 4:08 PM
The gang at JKReview.com has recently published an interview with Jake "Clu" Keating, whom you may recognize as the author of the amazing JO map, Colosseum 1.0. He talks about how the project got started, his inspirations, the process of creating it, what he has planned for Colosseum 2.0 (including new SP levels and features). Here's a snippet:
Kengo: I was just about to ask about them. Can you first tell us anything about the new SP levels you are thinking of creating for version 2.0?

Clu: It's so hard to predict how much time I will have to spend on them, but ideally they will expand a level or two before Gluteus finds himself in the basement prison, and maybe an extension of the existing level that elaborates on his escape from the arena. The earlier levels will focus on his occupation as a thief, and they will rob and plagiarize extensively from the "Thief" games. Just kidding. But I would like to have more of a stealth feel with a bit more exploration. Roman sewers, the Forum, bath houses and just the merchant-filled streets of Rome are all possible settings. I'm also really looking forward to authoring it for Jedi Academy. The combat system seems so much more flexible and advanced, and there may be the possibility for integration of vehicles and various beasts. Lions! Tigers! GRRRRRRRR!!!....ahem...excuse me.

Kengo: Man, I am so not editing that out [grins]"
It's a great read; be sure to check it out when you can!

Submitting Levels - mscbuck @ 11:08 AM
This is just a reminder for those of you who keep violating those submission guidelines. When your level is all finished, has the necessary readme text file and two screenshots, be sure to send them to Levels Account, and not the Staff Account. By sending levels to the staff account, you are clogging up inboxes of all the hard-working staff who may not even post levels, and are decreasing your chances of getting your level or modification posted.

Duelers and Cool Mods for JK2 Projects - blujay @ 3:15 PM
Marker0077 sent this in about the Duelers and new Cool Mods for JK2 projects:
Due to some disagreements, Marker0077 has left the duelers team.

Marker0077 is now starting the Cool Mods for JK2 project. If you have played Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, you may have heard of the Cool Mods for MoHAA project. We are hoping to have the Cool Mods for JK2 web site up & running either tomorrow or the next day, and we are planning to have the actual mod release available sometime next week.
This project will feature:

  • Hilts Packs: The best hilts for JK2. These have gone through Cool Mods standards, meaning sword hilts blades do not exceed the actual blade length, all blades are in the exact same position, etc; etc.

    The hilts that do not pass standards such as the Binford Chainsaw hilt & the Schwartz hilt, go in the Non-Standard Hilts pack. Explanations of why each hilt does not pass standards is given in the credits section of the Cool Mods manual.

    A promotional screenshot for the Cool Mods hilts can be viewed here (283kb)

  • Skins Pack A: Over 200 skins in 1 pack. These not only have more sounds, more skins, full bot support, & tons & tons of fixes, but it also takes up 2/3s less disk space as well!

    A promotional screenshot for Cool Mods: Skins Pack A can be viewed here (428kb)

    A promotional screenshot for Cool Mods: Alternate Red Dash can be viewed here (133kb)

  • Installers: No zip files here people. If you already have a hilt or skin that is included in any of these packs, the installer shall prompt you to move them to a sub-folder in your "base" folder so there are no duplicate models or skins.
New JA Screenshots Posted at Official Site - Kedri @ 11:10 AM
Looks like they've got some new screenies for our viewing pleasure over at the Official Jedi Academy Website. I can't wait for this thing to be released!

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Rooftops - GhostOfYoda @ 10:20 AM
File: Rooftops
Author: Peter Kavanaugh (WAR_Nuker)
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a relatively small multiplayer level for Jedi Knight consisting of 25 buildings of different heights and structures of which you must jump from one at a time to get around. This level will keep you on your toes because you never know who's looking at you. You may think you are the hunter but you could very well be the hunted. Note that if you don't have high level force speed, force jump, or a grapple then you will find that maneuvering from building to building is quite difficult and irritating. Also, this has the thermal detonator explosion from the level Morpheus (special thanks to bug for that one). Have fun and watch your step.
