Det signing in. - Det @ 10:12 AM
Well here I am, the latest Massassi staff member. I'll be posting news from now on, so now we'll be even more up-to-date with the latest Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast happenings.
New Jedi Outcast Mod: Irimi-Ai's Animation Mod Version 105 - mscbuck @ 8:19 AM
File: Irimi-Ai's Animation Mod Version 105
Author: Irimi-Ai
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Replaces rolls with ariels, modified butterfly kick, and a butterfly twist. Replaces lunge with a new modified jumping, spinning saber attack. Added Force get-up animations. Shortened the amount of time spent on the ground for some knockdowns. For both SP and MP. Read the included readme for a much more detailed description of all the changes.
New Jedi Outcast Mod: Episode 1 and Trilogy Sabers - mscbuck @ 8:10 AM
File: Episode 1 and Trilogy Sabers
Author: Firestorm
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This mod fuses the best of other mods together. It uses Lordvaders uber-saber mod to make the trails smoother. It uses Wanderer's Shadowsaber glows to better emulate the Ep1 glows. Last but not least it uses Greg Wilson's weaponglow mod to make the blaster shots have dynamic lighting. I got permision from all these authors. Then I added the saber cores and some changes to enemy AI which also includes better dismemberment possibilities.

New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Bespin Cloud Platform - mscbuck @ 6:19 PM
File: Bespin Cloud Platform
Author: Annihilator
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This duel/FFA map is set on a floating platform above Bespin. It took me about a day to make. This was originally a test map to see what I can do in Radiant, but it came out better than I expected so I decided to release it.
New Review From Brian - mscbuck @ 5:49 PM
Brian just contacted us, saying that VoodooExtreme has finally posted his review of Jedi Outcast. You can find the review here.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Duel Academy - mscbuck @ 4:42 PM
File: Duel Academy
Author: Mike (PurplWulf) Mullaney
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level was created to test the new tools released by Raven for level editing, and was for use mainly by myself, and my friends for sabering only. It's a recreation of the training arena found in the SP map, yavin_temple, when searching for Luke. It's fully functional except for bot AI support, and it is selectable in-game using the multiplayer menu. It supports Duel, FFA, and Team FFA styles of play. All credit goes to Raven and Lucas Arts for the design, layout, and texturing.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Ancient Temple - mscbuck @ 4:35 PM
File: Ancient Temple
Author: BR_Tybal
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is just a simple little duel map, a variation on the default box if you will. It's great fun with mild force. You can wall run around pillars. There is plenty of room for a small FFA, but small enough for duels.
New Jedi Outcast Skin: Padawan Learner: Kyle Katarn - mscbuck @ 4:29 PM
File: Padawan Learner: Kyle Katarn
Author: Jedi Master
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This skin replaces the Kyle skin in single and multiplayer games with a padawan learner skin. I have given Kyle a shave and removed any grey hairs since he is a padawan. He is wearing white clothing similar to the clothing Obi-Wan Kenobi wore while dueling Darth Maul in Episode I.

Boba/Jango Fett Model and Skin - blujay @ 3:43 PM
Over at JediKnightII.net I saw that on their forums BloodRiot and Absath are posting their progress on their great Boba/Jango Fett model and skin. You can see their initial work on the first page, and their latest work on the last page.
The Iron Jedi TC - Kedri @ 7:23 AM
This bit of news sort of slipped through the cracks previously, but it's something you guys would definitely be interested in seeing:
A couple of days before Jedi Knight II was released, the Iron Jedi TC was finished. This mod changes all weapons and Force powers. It also supports new skins, hotkeys, skills, and abilities. It is a two-part file like the original JK installation, the reason being that the file was too large to be uploaded at its home site.

The IJ TC has been under development for over two years and has finally been finished. Special thanks to the creators of SS3, SBX, Glowsaber, IWP2, LEC, etc. If any code/files were not included please send a notice to lordxt_ij@hotmail.com. Both of these files must be downloaded for the entire TC.
The TC files, as well as an multiplayer level, can be downloaded using the links below...

The Iron Jedi TC Homepage can be found at http://theironjedi.homestead.com/.

Orphus Gaming Center Mirroring Editing Tools - Kedri @ 9:23 PM
People are still experiencing erratic download responses from our server. Fortunately, Cedric from the Orphus Gaming Center let us know they're also mirroring the updated set of JK2 Editing Tools. Their site's quite nimble with response times, so you shouldn't have a problem getting your downloads on, plus they've also got a few other JK2-related files you might be interested in checking out!
Corrections Within Corrections - Kedri @ 9:06 PM
Right, so you may recall I posted a correction the other day for the entitypath in the StarWarsMP.qe4 file. Well, even the correction was wrong. Once and for all, here is the correct path:
"entitypath" "__QERPATH\MP_entities.def"
See the forward-slash there? Slippery little bugger... The qe4 file in the pack itself is correct, so if you just re-downloaded the tools, you're all set. Thanks go to Michael Chang Gummelt for dropping a line and letting me know about the typo.

Jedi Outcast Tools Release Update - Kedri @ 12:48 PM
Kenn Hoekstra writes:
Today we found a typo in the StarWarsMP.qe4: the entitypath is incorrect.
It should be: "entitypath" "__QERPATHmp_entities.def"
Raven has released an updated version of yesterday's editing tool pack; we've replaced our copy of the zip file with this update, so you can either make the correction yourself or re-download the tools (still 3.95MB).
