Attack of the Clones TC Updates - Kedri @ 6:57 PM
Anakin, team coordinator for the Attack of the Clones TC, sends word that, despite site problems, work has not stopped with the conversion project for Jedi Outcast. In fact, by the end of the week they'll have completed their move to a brand-new site and server. The URL is www.aotctc.com. Here's some of what he had to say:
"...also this host will allow us to give the fans out there even more to drool over as we will be releasing a whole host of small mods, a few maps, and releasing something very soon that is going to blow you all away. So please find some images to keep you all happy and to show that we are not on holiday!"

      

Looks and sounds promising! For anything you want to know about the project, you can still contact them at aotctc@hotmail.com and any member of staff should be able to help you.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Auron's Lightsaber Arena - Pommy @ 3:36 PM
File: Auron's Lightsaber Arena
Author: Dark_Auron
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: 4 lightsaber arenas made for those of us who still play JK, sabers only. The levels are:
Naboo: Low to the ground, small ring on the ground. You can play this level like a tournament, ring-out equals lose.
Lava: Ring on stilts above cold rock with some lava showing through. Possible but very hard to be back into ring with no mods.
Palace Arena: Small, domed room, decorated very...oddly to say the least.
Darkness: No lights, objects here and there to make sabering harder.

The Jedi's Saber's good stuff - Pommy @ 6:04 PM
Warlord from The Jedi's Saber, sends word of the following:
"The Jedi's Saber now has its own levels/commenting system, thanks to Pommy and SithGhost, both elite scripters and regulars of the TJS forums. The commenting system features smilies and POMCode, so be sure to head over and check it out! Sign up for the system from the main page, or http://www.nervecore.org:800/tjs/signup_user.html. A big thank-you to you Pommy!"

That's right, and I encourage you all to check it out. The system is very reminiscent of Massassi's (that's what I based it on), but it does have a few extra features, like the POMCode (which is just a weird copy of bbCode) and smilies Warlord noted. The levels section is less complex as Massassi's but still pretty good. It organizes files into 6 different categories, and each listing has the name of the file, the author, the date added, and the number of comments. We hope you will consider submitting your levels, maps, and skins to TJS too!

Warlord also wishes to inform you that...
..."The TJS Gaming Ladder is fast approaching, so check the site for updates. The ladder's official page will be http://www.nervecore.org:800/tjs/ladder/, which will be up shortly."

Thanks to buck, and a tiny bit of help from me, we were able to clear the 30-or-so file pile-up in the levels inbox. Unfortunately, as you might have observed, only 6 or 7 of these submissions were correct. The rest all had some negative aspect that prevented us from being able to post them. So, I remind you once more, please read the Submission Instructions and make sure that you have everything needed. Have a nice day!

A New Hope - Pommy @ 6:51 PM
As you might have noticed, the Hydroball League (HBL), hosted here on Massassi, was the little train that almost could. After 4 months of inactivity, we've finally decided to shut it down. However, the main staff of the HBL decided to create a new, more capable of surviving league, called the XJK2L, or Xtreme Jedi Knight 2 League. This league is headed by ryan8806 and myself, along with the rest of the late HBL's staff and some well-known Massassians as well. Based on the HBL's structure, the XJK2L is a general Jedi Outcast league for clans that want some competition, glory, and ego boosts. I personally hate the league's name, but that wasn't my decision :)

I encourage you all to check it out, at http://www.xjk2l.cjb.net, or, if you really hate popup ads, http://24.166.246.143/pommy/xjk2l. The site is hosted by our very own CoolMatty, who deserves a big hug and thank you.

New MotS Single Player Level: Recovery Mision on Dromund Kaas - GhostOfYoda @ 8:47 AM
File: Recovery Mision on Dromund Kaas
Author: Keith Marshall
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a medium single player level for MOTS.I made this because I like swamp levels and I like setting up traps (he he he). There are 3 secret areas in this level (good luck in finding them; they are well hidden). There are fish in the water, so when fighting in the water take aim carefully, or you will have fried tuna fish on your hands. This level is medium in difficulty for me, so keep three things in mind:

Conserve your ammo,
don't be reckless
and watch your step!

Hope you guys enjoy this level, I took a lot of time on the cutscene cogs and on this level! Have Fun!

This is a fun, fast-paced frag-fest! It will work for 4 players, but is best suited for 8-15.

Then you will get a good idea on where to look for the secrets. Have phun!
