New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Oxygen - GhostOfYoda @ 11:53 AM
File: Oxygen
Author: Logan "ghstride8" Dirmeyer
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is my first level for JO. It is a kind of small level. There are some minor glass bugs, but feel like I spent way too much time on making such a small level (12-20 hours). I just want some feedback to find out if I have the right idea so that I can make levels that people will like. Everything was made from scratch.

File: Jast AKA Rayden
Author: Talek
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Here is Jast, AKA Rayden. I've changed his name since the last version. His face is shaded, his hair is blended and the animations run smoother then they ever have. Almost everything is fixed that was a problem in the last version.

Jast is to be used as a stealthy jedi. He is dressed in light clothes so he can crawl around and snipe the commander, or push that storm trooper against the wall and slit his neck before he hits the floor. His favourite weapons are the tenloss disruptor rifle, bowcaster, purple saber, and laser trip mines.

Levels Search Updated - Kedri @ 5:27 AM
I just wanted to let everyone know I've been able to recompile our search index that's used to search through our levels/maps/mods database. It had been quite a while since that was last done, and I suspect a few of you stopped using it for that reason.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, below the list of download categories on our Levels page is a search box that lets you find items based on keywords. It's very useful for finding those hidden gems in the collection!

Links Page Fixed! - Kedri @ 7:27 AM
I'm very to happy to announce that our Links Page, a once useful and active section on our site, is now working once more! For at least a year or so, no one's been able to add links to the collection, nor has the staff been able to edit or delete any of the broken ones.

If you check it out now you will notice a couple of things: 1) a new category has been added for Jedi Outcast sites, and 2) all the broken links have been stripped out. It was a pain going through all those links, but somebody had to do it. I'm surprised at the number of clan sites still alive and kicking...

Have a look around, and if you know of any useful or cool JK, JO or SW sites out there, please add them to our collection!

AotC: TC News Update - Pommy @ 4:18 PM
Anakin has sent word of piping hot updates from the AotC: TC team:
MP Code
Since we started the mod, we have continued the Saga side of the project mainly, it then came apparent that we should really also include some mod for the MP game itself. It was at this time that I was given a unique chance.
Many of you will be used to using ProMOD and have enjoyed using it. Well, you will be sorry to hear that Artifax has stopped developing the mod and has released his final version 3.1 to the public.
It was at this time that Artifax offered the source code to myself to develop and expand into AOTC:TC, and so with this, ProMOD will be part of the MP code that will be used in the TC.
We will support the mod as much as we can and [the] updated version and the current version will be available from our site and the support will be found on the forums.

The Site AOTC:TC
After bouncing between servers for the last couple of months, and losing a lot of fan base because [of so], we have now got a great deal on the server and are able to do what ever we want with, it pretty much.
I'm sorry that you have all been messed about and that we haven't been able to keep you updated, but now it's our home for the distant future and there will be no downtime or anything else like that ever again.

Files and Maps
My friends at the TC having been working thier socks off trying to get maps finished off and completed, with the server move abouts its been difficult to get everyone back and find everyone again, hopefuly everyone will re-find us and we will be releasing the Betas of the maps sooner rather than later.

Staff Positions
Yep, with the move, we have also found out that we have lost a few members of staff - they have left due to workloads at school/college/uni - but we will now have the chance to recruit more staff into the TC. The more staff we get, the quicker we will get it all done. You can find out more by going to the site and reading the news as [well as] the links; [they] are there about the staff positions.

I hope that this will bring most of you back and asking us about development etc. It would be great to see some of the familiar faces back on the forums.


For more information and updates, you can check this thread on LucasForums.

File: The Platform
Author: Tails Master X
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level is quite simple, really. It is made up of only one landing pad with two prongs extending off each side. It's great as a testing ground and for duels. It should be a good fun with lots of people as well because if you fall off the platform you're cast into space!
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Shadow's Keep 3: Saber Holocaust - GhostOfYoda @ 11:32 AM
File: Shadow's Keep 3: Saber Holocaust
Author: Prince_YackerZ
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is the final release of the Shadow's Keep levels. This level is supposed to recreate the feel of Helm's Deep in the second Lord of the Ring film.
This level has been created for one purpose; to provide a saber dueling alternative to Battle Ground Jedi. No shield powerups or weapons are in this level. Just your saber and scenic architecture for battling to the death. There is nowhere to run; either the vast castle will kill you or your oppenent will. Many areas are amazingly suited for saber duels.
Included with this level is a map of the castle, which you may need in order to take full advantage of this level's great potential. Enjoy exploring, fighting, dueling, this castle will thrill you. For those who don't like sabers only levels, download Shadow's Keep 2: Return to Shadow's Keep it is very similiar to this one.

File: Remsly
Author: bleek
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This skin uses a great model made by David "Madjai" Henry. I have reskinned it completely. Remsly is former jedi turned evil. The influence of the darkside was too great after his father was struck down by a lightsaber. His rage drives him to kill anyone in connection to the murder, and he is known for his dishonorable fighting methods. He is considered extremely dangerous and will not hesitate to attack anyone with a lightsaber (armed or not).
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Moebius Experiment - GhostOfYoda @ 3:50 AM
File: Moebius Experiment
Author: Fk Design
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level is a quite small area lost in space. It could be played as a duel level or as a 5 or 6 opponents level (more players than that would become very difficult or even annoying). There is no need to use the force to travel the map (except jump level 2 for a small bottom area.) Have fun !
Level Removed - GhostOfYoda @ 11:09 AM
ELS Skin pack 1 has been removed as it contained a skin (Kyle: Jedi Knight) made by another author, Oobi-Doo Kerosbi. I have just a quick reminder; plagiarism will not be tolerated. If the person involved does it again, rest assured, he will never again have another level posted at Massassi.

File: Prototype-01
Author: bleek
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This skin is based of a great model made by ksk h2o. I reskinned it completely to make it an original character. Think of him as an earlier prototype of a robot jedi or something similar. He has cables and cords going around his body and the number and barcode to identify him. I gave him Galak's taunts and sounds because Galak sounds much like a robot. They fit perfectly with Prototype. Enjoy!
