File: Load Up Oasis
Author: NJO_BaT_mAn

Description: This is a completely different kind of Oasis mod. You start off in a circular room and load up so you have full armour, bacta, and ammo. Once you are done loading you teleport into the game. Every time you die you are sent back to a room where you can quickly load up and rejoin the game again at full health. The only problem is that there is no shields or health in the Oasis part of the level. There is plenty of ammo in the level, though. Think of this as a different style of Ji Oasis.

The dates on our levels/mods page have been broken since we moved to the new domain, I finally fixed those this morning. Any problems, please let me know.

I did my best to make it so people didn't get a scrollbar in 800x600, but if you get one, email me and I will try to get it fixed.

Etc. - Brian
For some reason, Slug and I have been getting a ton of editing questions over email lately. I would just like to (once again) remind everyone that we can not (and will not) answer editing questions over email. Running this site causes us to get tons of email every day, and we don't have time to update the site, answer all the valid emails (hosting questions, support for our current hosted sites, news questions, site issues, etc), answer questions on the editing forum and answer editing emails. Most of the time, the answers can easily be found in the FAQ, the Basics, or the Tutorials. Please don't email us editing questions. We answer as many as we can over on the forum. That's the best place to get help anyway - there are people who visit the forums that are a lot more experienced than we are.

Just noticed that we are about to pass half a million hits on the main page here... thanks to all who visit us, I'm glad you feel this is a valuable resource. We will do our best to keep it that way.

Some news on staff members... you will notice a few new faces around here, welcome to Statto, Baker, and RCWilliams - their help should allow me to take some time to finish up our review section (it's coming along, slowly, but surely), as well as get the 3do section up and running again.

If you will remember, however, we used to have a very reliable newsmaster named Kedri - he took a vacation, but had some family problems while he was home, so has been a bit delayed. We expect him back, but we just don't know when.

    • Server Outage - Brian
    Got contacted by our server administrators, we have a scheduled outage (they're moving it to a new location) Friday morning between midnight and 5am (central time). Just wanted to let everyone know so I didn't get a huge flood of emails (I probably will anyway, but oh well). It shouldn't be out that full amount of time, but the downtime will occur in that time period.
    Etc. - Brian
    As you can see, I finally filled that blank spot at the top of the page. Hopefully it will be of use to those of you that are primarily interested in our levels...

    Also, you have probably noticed the banners that have popped up around the site. We are now part of the UGO network (click the hand up there to visit their games page). UGO is a huge network of mostly gaming sites, although they have recently expanded into other areas. It should get us some more exposure, as well as help us out with server space, so it's a good deal all around. Questions, comments? Email me.

Ed Bain made this digital cartoon parody called R2-Detour, if you have a cable modem than more power to yah, its 5 megs and you need quicktime to view it. The cartoon is about r2d2 trying to get away from an r2d2 dressed up as maul with his lightsaber. R2D2 is constantly running away from darthmaul r2d2 so thus, R2-Detour, its a hilarious movie/cartoon. The ending is preety funny, guranteed to brighten up your day. Also Ed's gallery is home to alot of StarWars/Jedi Knight parody comic strips, so be sure to check it out. Thanks Ed!
    JK Anti-Racism: Take a Stand! - IRN_Baker_JKD
    This morning I was surfing for news and I bumped into Jedi Legacy. They have news about their newly hosted site, JK Anti-Racism Online Struggle. If you may not have known, The Zone is one of the most popular online gaming sites for Jedi Knight, and its familiar to find some little punks yelling out racial slurs, and most sysops I know don't really care or don't find a solid reason for taking action. This is where the AROS (Anti Racist Online Struggle) comes in. Their site helps to fight and prevent racism on the zone which is everly common by exposing racists on their list. So if you want to take a stand about this than visit the AROS and give them your support. A lot of prominent editors have joined in the fight like Jeff Walters, etc, etc. Now its your turn.

    This is a screenshot of a bug in Spork that I reckon is just too funny not to share. It is not tampered with or doctored in way, it's just an amusing bug.


    Captions anyone? Send them my way, and I'll hopefully post the best ones soon.

    New JK Multiplayer Level: Blue Rain - Brian
    File: Blue Rain
    Author: Bulworth
    Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
    Description: This level is a pretty large level with a lot of ammo. It has a nice "Mother Nature" look to it. There's a large waterfall in the middle of the level. It's somewhat similar to oasis but it's not an oasis mod... There is also a new wav of a hawk to add a wilderness effect to the level... All you R6 players will recognize this wav from the level "Road Ambush"...

    Note: This version fixes previous colormap problems (purple textures). To learn more, please visit Absolon Editing.

    Star Craft to Star Wars TC - IRN_Baker_JKD
    The StarCraft to Star Wars TC has posted -9- new screenshots of there TC. The screenshots look amazing considering that Jedi Knight is a first person shooter and Star Craft is more of a strategy/rpg game, so to merge these two games together is like smores...hehe you know the marshmellows and chocolate, anyways the TC starts out with the feel of Star Craft and has three races: New Republic, Empire, and Smugglers. So far the TC looks good, go check them out.
    Absolon Editing: Blue Rain - Brian
    Absolon Editing has released what looks to be it's first MP level, Blue Rain. I took a look at it and it's not bad, not bad at all. Has the Canyon Oasis feel. Anyway, we generally have a policy of not posting levels unless we are sent a copy with all the required info, but I expect that soon, so there's no harm in announcing it until then...
