Fun3DO is a program that will let you import meshes from various 3D file formats and then compose them into one Jedi Knight 3DO file. It will also handle texturing and face/mesh properties. It is not a complete 3DO modeling program. Fun3DO will also be able to import meshes from Jed with textures, properties etc.

For example, if you were facing two walls, one up close, and one in the distance, and both had a brick texture, it would look ridiculous if the bricks were the same size. For accurate depth perception, the bricks on the far wall should look smaller than the bricks on the near wall. This can be accomplished either by creating an entirely different texture for the different brick walls, real time rendering of the sized bricks, or MIP mapping can be used to create pre rendered textures of better quality.

The Files in Levels dialog has been enhanced with new file types
A new Create Water command
A new Create Force Field command
A new Create Breaking Glass command

Positioning and rotating of 3DO objects did not work correctly
The Help text for the main view was broken

I'm assuming you create a sector in JED, export it to 3do, then import that as a mesh into Fun3do.

This is almost right, Fun3DO will import the mesh directly from Jed thru Jedīs plugin interface, so you donīt need to save it and then import it to Fun3DO. However, I will try to support as many 3D file formats as I can.

I've just started on a new Class Pack for the Origins Team. I've just finished all four classes, now I will start to test them with other people, testing for a more balanced class system than Mysteries of the Sith. Current classes are as follows:

• Jedi Lord
• Mandalorian
• Recon
• Psycho

ReconDroid v0.2 apparently will be much more slick than 0.1. IP scanning should speed up a lot and Outlaws support will be added for sure, including Outlaws WinSock network driver support. It might even be preferrable to run it via WinSock.

Stange thing about Outlaws though - there's no easy way to retrieve the player names and the level played from the server. In DirectPlay standard packet it return no infomation at all, and the player names it returns are empty. Via Winsock it easily returns the level's textual description and number of players, but it appears that to get the level's file name and player names you need to actually join the game, at which point the server sends you a bucnh of data, which is not good, as quering the server must use as little banwidth as possible to avoid ruining game for the people that are playing it. Well, I guess we'll have to live without it.

One more thing that I plan is downloading of custom levels/patches that are played on the server. I.e. - when you try to connect a server that has a custom level/patch running, ReconDroid will offer to download it for you. That should make playing custom levels much easier.

I have an exam to attend in 3 hours. That's it. That I have an exam to attend in 3 hours. Come on...post it... I dare ya. ; )
