I've been told that the level feels like it came from the Empire Strikes Back, and I hope everyone else thniks so. E-mail me with any comments or questions.

It consists of 3 main rooms, all specializing in at least one of those techniques. This level can handle 32 players, but is designed for 2-8.

Star Wars Trilogy TC Screenshots - Brian
The Star Wars Trilogy TC has posted a bunch of new screenshots on their screenshots page - as always, they look really good.
6000 Block Status - Brian
I'm taking another opportunity to plug my upcoming level, 6000 Block. The sabers-only version has entered beta-testing over at the Jedi Knight Beta Testing Group. Only things left are some cogs which are being worked on by Hideki (you know, the author of the lightstaff mod) and the weapons placement. Here are a couple of screenshots: [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2].
Doors Tutorial - Slug
Found an old tutorial I wrote awhile back on my HD.. It's a basic tutorial on creating doors. I decided to upload it, thinking maybe my method of creating doors, and my way of wording the tutorial might be easier for some people to understand then the current one we have here (and vice versa I'm sure, some people will find the other one easier)..
[tutorial]
[download it]
Shaft Updated - Can you dig it? - Slug
The shaft skin posted here earlier today has been updated to include a missing mat.. Thought I had uploaded the correct version, guess not..

Author: Mark728

Description: The Jedi's Haven is a medium sized multiplayer level,intended for 4 players. It has 3 main sections. It has a good variaty of weapons and power-ups and 2 sniper points. As you can now most likely tell, I am absoululely terrible at writing these description things, so all i can tell you is that 2 people gave it a 90% when testing it so give it a shot.

File: John Shaft
Author: Elliot Boutin, AKA Mehab4
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2

Tessera Screens - Slug
Jepman sends word that the site for the Tessera Offensive has been updated with some new screens. Looks like it's shaping up to be a great project.
Etc.. - Slug
Sorry about the lack of updates around here - Hopefully things'll pick up soon.. Saw the Blair Witch Project last night - Good movie, but I'm not quite sure why everybody is saying it's so scary.. Guess I'm missing something.. And the camerawork, while I know is supposed to be 'realistic', really just gave me a headache.. A drunken chimp coulda handled the camera more smoothly.. Anyways, I personally liked the movie (great end, even though nobody else in the theater seemed to think so.. There was a unanimous cry of dissaproval from the rest of the audience)..

Idea Database - EvanC
Commander told me about this, sounds like a good idea:
The Imperial Command Center has made an Idea Database section on the site. What is it? It is a place on the site where you can go if you need ideas for SP JK/MOTS levels. If you want to make a SP level and are having trouble coming up with a story or ideas then this is the place to go. Anybody can Submit ideas and stories to us. So, if you ever need help on ideas for a SP level then go to the Imperial Command Center and read or submit a story or ideas.

PedHead has started up a new level review site, The Wampa's Cave. Next time you're submitting a level, send it his way as well - Everyone can use some constructive criticism, and the added exposure for your level is a pretty good bonus..

Outpost D-34 has scooped up EvanC's site, 'Fett's List', and given it a home at their site.. Fett's list keeps on growing, and now has quite a few bios - Great to see that it's a success.

Going Home - Brian
Okay, tomorrow is when I leave beautiful Washington State to go back to my home in California. The trip usually takes a couple of days, but I'm stopping by Mangore's place (Mangore is only one of the best JK editors alive today...) Friday night. I should be back online and updating by Monday evening, and the move to the new server should be complete by next weekend (not this weekend). See you all later, thanks for the support, 400,000, whoa!

Massassi Hits 400K!! - Kedri
It was none other than JediLegacy's own Acinonyx that became lucky visitor #400,000 at the Massassi Temple, sometime late last night:
This site is getting enough hits to make my head spin, and believe me when I say it'll only be getting better! Stay tuned, and thanks to visitors #1 to #399,999 for getting the site to where it's at today.

New JK MOD: Backflip - Slug
File: Backflip
Author: Will
Screenshots: No Screenshots
Description: I knocked out a backflip key file for Jedi Knight and Mots (works on both). Jumping vertically up or backward does a slightly different jump (a partial section of the key), but doing the same with a force jump will do a full backflip. Does the same thing when jumping sideways if going slightly backward. The flip is visible in third person mode, but in first person there's no noticable difference to a regular jump and you still fire forwards in mid-air, so its only to look cool really.
New JK Multiplayer Level: Lightsaber Training Grounds -
File: Lightsaber Training Grounds
Author: Son Of Blood a.k.a. SkaCore
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A small JK sabers only level based on Battle Ground Jedi. A few hard to get power-ups makes it a interesting match. Recommended for 4-8 players. Great for clan wars/ practices. Visit the Sons Of Blood - http://www.angelfire.com/vt/sobjk.
JN News - Slug
Spartacus sends word of some news about a couple o' hosted sites on JN.
--new hosted site at JN Jedi Nights is proud to announce our newest hosted site - The Dragon BallZ TC. Here's the goods:

Our page is a spot for a total conversion for Jedi Knight based on the cartoon series Dragon Ball Z. It's going to feature great new cogs, tons of skins and five or more new single player and multiplayer levels with tons of space for fighting. There will be no weapons involved, only huge powers like energy blasts. Characters will all fly and kick too.

Sounds great to me, head on over to the DBZTC site for more info.

Also,

The Admirals Command Chamber has passed the 100,000 hit mark. The Command Chamber is the best place for JK & MotS level reviews and this is shown by the type of following the site has. Congradulations to Ryan (head webmaster) for his hard work and success.
Big Congratulations to Command Chamber - Glad to see such a great site thriving.
Speak's Fantrabulous Magical Mystery Saber Pack - Slug
Well, at least that's what I think it should be called.. In any case, Speak has posted some new screenshots and info about his currently un-named saber mod at Jedi Legacy..
ORS Trouble - Slug
Normally I don't post help wanted ads, but this is a mod that I'm looking forward to very much, and would hate to see die.. C@rni sent this email my way..
One Rebel's Sacrifice is a truly rare occurrence-unlike countless editing groups, ORS has actually released something. ORS technically is not a TC: it has been the work of one person: me, Jeremy Dooley. However, there are several things I will never be. I will never be a fan of mosquitoes or flesh wounds, nor will I ever be a good cogger. Therefore, this is a plea: I desperately need a cogger. If I don't, the project will will scrapped. 9 levels, a ton of new enemies, 6 new weapons, and a great story to boot; all of it will never be able to see the light of day. If you are an accomplished cogger, please contact me at carni@planetjedi.com. If you would like to learn more about the project, please visit http://planetjedi.com/ors. Also on the screenshots page are 5 new screenshots of level 8.

Level Design Article - Brian
Gamasutra.com has published one chapter from a recently released book on designing computer games. The chapter is entitled Secrets of the Sages: Level Design. It discusses various aspects of level design with a bunch of industry veterans...
Etc. - Brian
I wanted to let everyone know that I know about the download problems. The JN/Telefragged ftp server is getting worse and worse. It took me about 20 tries to get some things to start downloading. That's not acceptable anymore. I would like to let everyone know that we will soon be moving to a new server. The new server should fix all the download problems (with a guaranteed 99.5% uptime). This move should happen in about a weeks time. All that's left to move is the tutorials and the download section (which may present a problem, but we're working on it). Again, sorry for any inconvenience, but things should smooth out very soon.

I haven't been updating lately because I've been dog-sick for about a week. It seems to be going away, so things should be back to normal soon. Currently, I'm on vacation in the Seattle area, I will be back home in California in about a week...

When will he learn? - Slug
Evan really should know by now that he's allowed to use this site for shameless plugging.. Looks like I'll have to do it for him.. He's got a cool new site out that allows editors to give a bit of info about themselves, called Fett's List. Cool idea, and open to any editors - So share your life story with the world, and let it be known just how big a freak you really are..

Now Reptile can do multiple jumps whilst still in the air and can heal not only himself but his shields as well. He has added saber combos so he can now do a five-slash run and a faster, less damaging swing. Reptile can also kick and all of the orginal weapons have been made more powerful and damaging.

The weapons are not mine but I used the best selection of various weapons available. The Force powers allow the Eversor to kill with a look and to do as many Force Jumps as you like repeatedly whilst still in the air. The saber is a lightning saber, which has not appeared before. Also, the Eversor has new saber combos that it can do, most notably a five-slash run. Enjoy!

    TPM Hits $400 million! - Kedri
    I saw this on TheForce.net:
    Fox made the following Official Press Statement: July 24, 1999 -- "Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace" today topped the $400 million mark in domestic box-office gross, it was announced by Tom Sherak, chairman of 20th Century Fox Domestic Film Group. The new chapter in George Lucas' epic saga is now the third-highest-grossing film domestically of all time, passing "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial"'s $399.8 million figure. "The Phantom Menace" has also taken the No. 2 spot in domestic box office for an initial release, behind "Titanic." On its way to reaching this landmark number, "The Phantom Menace" has broken nearly every box-office record, including: highest opening day and highest single-day box office of all time; top opening 5-day figure; best non-holiday weekend gross; and reaching $100 million, $200 million and $300 million faster than any film in history.
    Very cool.
    FTP Services Restored - Kedri
    Alright, it seems everything's kosher with the FTP server now. Here come the posts...
    Saturday, July 24, 1999
    Houston, you know the drill... - Kedri
    Okay, the only reason I wrote that bit below was so that I could post some levels and mods under today's date. Now I'm seeing our lovely, delicate FTP server isn't responding. Great. Once it's up and running there'll be some new JK candy for you guys. Hold tight until then. Thanks.
    So... how's it going? - Kedri
    I just got last month's issue of Spin yesterday... here's a piece of advice: don't ever subscribe to magazines over the phone. Anyway, they've got this article about a weekend LANparty that was thrown in some hotel in California, and unless they were hamming it up for the Spin reporters, it sounded like a kickin' blast. For the unenlightened, a LANparty is an organized event, usually in some convention center, where you supply the computer (and food and 10 or 15 bucks), and they supply the high-speed local area network for you to hook up to. The result: massively multiplayer games like Quake 2 and JK, and most recently Tribes, without any lag of any kind. Nirvana. Sound cool? Head over to www.lanparty.com and see if a party's coming your way soon.

    Conveyor Belt Tutorial - Kedri
    REZ submitted a great tutorial on creating conveyor belts: It covers the cog, mats, basic cleaving and adding sound. Many pictures included. Thanks go to REZ for creating and submitting the tutorial.

    Also, new screenshots have been posted at REZ's website for the current project, Mercenaries Fate. Make sure to check 'em out.
    Updated AI Synched - Kedri
    Nightmare sent in the latest on Synchronized AI:
    This is version 0.5 of AIS. New features list:

    • punching close-range attack
    • seeking routine so the AI will follow a patrol route and look for targets
    • the AI follows a player on its team who activates it and help out
    • the AI can have limited lives (mainly for co-op)
    • the AI can spawn when an adjoin is crossed rather than at startup (so they don't cause lag until the players are in the area in co-op levels)
    • the AI can be made a 'sentry' AI, so it won't follow targets away from its area
    • other minor improvements

    This file includes both JK and MOTS versions; they function identically, except that the MOTS one is C/S. This is for MP only. I plan to release a version for pedestrians soon, as well as write up a tutorial on using AIS in the near future.
    Thanks go to Nightmare for the great work.
