New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Valhalla Resort - Brian @ 12:31 AM
File: Valhalla Resort
Author: ApoK_DragonPhin and ApoK_FlipMoJack
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A small level focusing on gameplay, but keeping in mind that visuals are important too. Set within an asteroid, around a natural hot spring, this level should serve an interesting and enjoyable game for saberists and gunners alike. The bridges and catwalks surrounding the pool allow players to traverse the level in a number of ways, keeping the game in a constant furor. Designed for a four player deathmatch, but with two players, the gameplay is not hindered. However, the more the merrier. Caters to fans of the NF all the way to FF.

The king gets a point every 30 seconds, while other players try to kill him or get him off of the hill. When the king gets off the hill, or is killed, the hill becomes open again for another king.

Holy Cow... - Brian @ 6:26 AM
Looks like yesterday we went over a thousand levels for download here at Massassi. That's a ton of levels! I still have 10 levels to post, I will do those either later today or tomorrow morning. Remember, if you find a problem with a zip or a broken link, please email me, but don't include the zip again! All the zips I have uploaded were verified before I uploaded them, so if they're corrupt on the server, they got corrupted during the trasnfer - all I have to do in that case is re-upload them.

File: Battle Ground Jedi: Rescuers of Endor
Author: JROE_G_Hannibal
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a cool little remix of Battle Ground Jedi (BGJ) for multiplayer which is really meant to help people train. It teaches you to keep balance, take control of how far to jump, and when to stop. This is a "NF TRAINING LEVEL" that was originally meant for JROE. However, since they found it amusing, I figured a lot of people would want to try it out. This means there are no traps or neat effects. This is to help you train and just have a good time with friends. (You can play FF too if you want, just really isn't meant for it, but there are lots of dark and light surges).

GameSpy Arcade - Brian @ 9:58 AM
We ran a story on this back when it was released, but a new version is out that features a "full install" download rather than that web download crud. Anyway, GameSpy Arcade is a killer software program that allows you find games for a ton of titles. JK and MotS are supported, so if you're looking for a BETTER alternative to the Zone, please download the software. Not only does it feature chat and MP game match-making for our favorite games (JK and MotS of course), it also supports these titles.

Why put up with long load times and buggy browser-integrated software when you can download this program and use it for FREE? I can't recommend this program enough, so everyone go download it and I'll see you in the JK room!
Vampire Postmortem - Brian @ 10:04 AM
Gamasutra has posted an article entitled Vampire Postmortem. It's written by Rob Huebner, lead programmer over at Nihilistic Software. So why the heck am I posting Vampire news here? In case you didn't know, Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption is an epic RPG created by many of the people that worked on Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith. So if you like JK so much, you'll probably like Vampire, too. Want more Vampire info and news? Check out my other project, PlanetVampire.

New Rbots - Brian @ 4:54 PM
Ahh, the juiciest news we've gotten in a while.
Rbots alpha version 0.12 has now been released for download and testing. Rbots is a project to create a 'bot' for Jedi Knight. A bot is a computer controlled player for multiplayer games. It should react and play just like a human player - it has health, shields, limited ammo & weapons and when it dies it will 'respawn' to allow the game to continue. Multiple bots will battle amongst themselves as well as any number of human players.

New features include: Bot now reacts to Force Blinding & Persuasion, Improved decision making when faced with intersecting routes, Improved targeting routines - no longer chooses the first thing in view - now also will choose closest target or most direct target, and Integrated uni string support to make implementing Rbots in other levels easier

This will be the last release for quite some time as the code is to be rewritten completely from scratch to optimize it.
Be sure to stop by the Raynar's Workshop for more info, or the Rbots home page for download and installation instructions.

Yo, Homie-G! - darkjedi86 @ 4:10 PM
While I'm not entirely sure what a "homie-g" is, I do know that Boba Fett has recently sent in a link to a Star Wars Gangsta Rap music video. It's a pretty funny video, except for the abrupt ending, so I recommend you check it out.

3do Studio Announces Contest - Kedri @ 8:44 PM
Time to break out the JED, kids, 'cause 3do Studio is having a 3do Contest. The goal is to receive something in the ballpark of 30 or so entries, with the best 15-20 offered as the site's first official 3do pack. The ones that don't make the cut will still be posted at the site, released individually. Here are the rules:

  • In order to keep the face limit down, JED is the preferred editor and not a commercial third-party 3D program.
  • If custom mats are used, they cannot be copyrighted (e.g. textures from other games).
  • 3do's should be placed in a small level. A textured default box will be sufficient. The box should be .GOB'ed, then .ZIP'ed with one screenshot. The level itself won't be released, just the 3do with its respective textures.

The deadline for the contest is December 1, 2000. Plenty of time.

All contest entries should be sent to zanardi@massassi.com with "3do for 3do Contest" in the subject heading. Good luck to one and all!
Dedicated Servers for Obi-Wan - Brandon @ 8:27 AM
You've asked and now you have an answer. The new Ask the Team at LucasArts has answered the question of dedicated servers, and here's what they had to say:
Yes. We have constructed a completely new game engine for Obi-Wan, and multi-player gaming has been an important design objective. Players will be able to host multi-player games on dedicated servers, and the game should be able to support more participants in a single multi-player game than past LucasArts games (the limit in the past has been 4 players per game over the Internet.) More details to follow.
They even posted three new screenshots on the Obi-Wan site. Head on over there and check them out!

Thanks goes out to JediKnight.Net for the info.

TACC Contest Extended - darkjedi86 @ 11:51 AM
Outpost D-34 reports that The Admiral's Command Chamber has extended its single player contest deadline. Here's what the Admiral himself has to say.
I've decided to extend the contest deadline a week, so the official deadline is now August 31, 2000. The reason for this change is that I will have access to a faster connection to download and upload the levels after that date, and also that fact that a number of authors have some spectacular levels and need a few more days to finish things off. All levels can be submitted to me using this address: ryan@commandchamber.net. Please note in the subject that it is a contest level submission, and be sure to include the required readme as usual. If you have any questions relating to the contest (or anything about the site, for that matter), feel free to email me.
You hear that authors? You got another week! Now, make those levels good and purdy! :)

"It's been a few short months after Master Qui Gon became one with the Force, and even though I don't doubt his judgement, sometimes I feel that I cannot teach Anakin as well as he would've. My young padawan and I have been around the galaxy, trying to bring peace to troubled worlds. These are confusing times, and Anakin and I have just visited Tatooine, where he said hi to his mother and promised to come back to free her. Now we're on our way back to Coruscant, and I have a bad feeling about this..."

BioWare Looking for Star Wars RPG Art Director - Kedri @ 6:58 AM
Whilst getting my bi-daily dose of Penny Arcade I learned that BioWare, the developers tapped to work on the PC/console-based Star Wars RPG (check out their press release about it), is looking for an Art Director. As wise Tycho speculates, he (or she) who assumes this role will have a first-hand shot in shaping this new chapter of Star Wars gaming. Excuse me while I do my best impersonation of Homer drooling...

They're looking for the standard experience set: 3D Studio Max, Photoshop, drawing, painting, and graphic design skills all a must. Click here for all the info. If you or anyone you know has what it takes, well, here's the job you've been waiting for!

LEC Updates Tech Support Info for... JK? - Kedri @ 9:30 AM
Yeah, I thought this was a little askew myself, but it looks like the boys at LucasArts have updated their technical reference guides for both Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith. They've expanded their troubleshooting sections on video cards, but more importantly they cover many more issues on gaming on the Zone than it did before. When you've got a tech problem and can't wait for a response on the forums, these seem like a good pair of bookmarks to have handy. Oh, and lest you think I spend my time hanging out at LEC Tech Support waiting for updates, I found this nugget of 411 at Blue's News.

Among the offerings are the ultra-rare Original Star Wars Teaser, a Star Wars Episode II Title Generator, and the 20 Best Star Wars Villains (my money's on Number 11). They've got tons of Top 10 and Top 20 Lists, all of which you should be able to get to from this Star Wars Week Main Page. A pretty amusing diversion you should check out when you're bored.

The Level Graveyard - darkjedi86 @ 6:22 PM
Is it just me, or are Jedi Knight sites getting a bit...extreme nowadays? Matthew Smith was kind enough to shine the light of knowledge upon us: a new rightfully named Jedi Knight site has opened, The Level Graveyard. What, pray tell, is this site dedicated to? Let's let Matt explain.
The Level Graveyard is a site where unfinished levels go and people can claim and finish levels other editors started. We just got our first unfinished level posted, too. Check it out here. This should create a wider selection of levels we see released!
Now you know why I claim it rightfully named. This site should create some, shall we say, funky levels, so why not head on over and give 'em a shot?

Description: This is a weapons mod that makes all the weapons shoot faster and shoot out other things (e.g. the stormtrooper rifle shoots out crossbowbolts really fast). I also added 22 new skins and I added 7 new sabers. I hope you all enjoy this mod. :) Also, a Mega Guns 2 is in the works.
New Tutorial: Custom Crosshairs - Kedri @ 6:26 PM
You might have seen this feature in some mods out there already, and you might also remember the great deal of interest there was a while back in seeing how it was done. Well, here's your chance. It's Rjmig88's tutorial on creating custom crosshairs, which as you might've already guessed let's you replace the targeting crosshair in Jedi Knight with your own custom one. It's a little technical, but Rj provides everything you'll need for the tutorial in the accompanying zip file. Thanks go to Rjmig88 for his contribution.

Rogue Squadron 2? - Brian @ 12:37 PM
Word is out that Lucasarts is developing a sequel to Rogue Squadron. It will be on Nintendo's next generation console. Here's the info from IGN's Cube section.
Are you still undecided about Nintendo's Gamecube system? Well what would you say if LucasArts and developer Factor 5 teamed up and brought the Star Wars franchise to it? You'd like that, wouldn't you? Now, how would you react if you found out that this Star Wars game would in fact be an extension of the favorite Rogue Squadron series? And best of all, what would you do if you learned you could take control of Luke Skywalker and fly your X-Wing over the dreaded Deathstar while battling 75 tie fighters – all pushing a blistering amount of polygons and running at a drop-dead gorgeous 60 frames per second? If you're anything like us – and you are – you'd be very, very happy.
Be sure to download the movies if this sounds at all interesting - they're pretty amazing.
Major Revamps @ Millennium - darkjedi86 @ 2:01 PM
It so happens that I was assaulted by Hideki this afternoon, practically binding me hand and foot to post this news. As I so forcefully learned, Millennium has revamped its site, changing from the now obsolete style of frames to tables, as well as changing the background, the overall design for many pages, and many other things. Hideki has also updated the Mod Collection section, so all in all, I'd say a trip to Millennium could hardly be called wasted.

Mat Spotlight - Brandon @ 10:06 AM
It's time once again to shine the Mat Spotlight upon another mat. This week, the Mat Spotlight rests upon Naythn's Mat file in the Signs category. This mat is a good alternative to the 00wwarny mat found in Jedi Knight. If you like this mat, download it or browse through all the other great mats in the mat section.

Elyas Updates - darkjedi86 @ 7:24 PM
I've just received word from the wolfbrother himself that Elyas's Domain has updated its AlieNations section with nine new screenshots for the latest singleplayer level, Invasion. Also, the levels section has been organized, and Volume II of the Fuk'ilat Chronicles has been uploaded, as well as The Origins of JAG.

If you're looking at me as if I had five heads, let me explain. Elyas Machera writes these chapters for a story called AlieNations, and is also making a Jedi Knight mod for it. They even have a killer flash intro, so why not head on down to Elyas's Domain and give it a shot?

File: Canyon Desert
Author: Lightside
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is my latest JK MP level I have created. I call it, 'Canyon Desert'. There is a certain 'Desert Rose' in this level, IF you can find it. If you need help finding the secrets, feel free to e-mail me. Good for up to 8 players, no more. There is a place for saber dueling, heavy gun deathmatch (ya know, those 'oasis' fans ;) ), and a lot of places to explore. The screenshots don't show much. Check out the README!!!_canyondes.txt for more info.

New Level Rating System - Brian @ 12:50 AM
We have just added a nifty rating system to our levels section. This allows registered users (users registered for the commenting system, not the forums) to give each level a score (0-10). You are allowed to rate each level only once. Since it's new, it's possible that there are a few bugs to work out - if you find any, please let me know.

New Jedi Knight Mod: Swing-Block - Brian @ 8:56 PM
File: Swing-Block
Author: Lictor
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This patch means that you swing your lightsaber when you block bolts or other lightsabers. This works in 1st and 3rd person (Better in 3rd person). This patch is very deadly against Darth Maul in various levels as he blocks your blow with one blade and hits you with the other.

New MotS Multiplayer Level: Echo Base - Kedri @ 9:48 PM
File: Echo Base
Author: Tyler Porter
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This multiplayer level was designed as a replica of the Echo Base in the second Star Wars movie. I used books that laid out the base and incorporated these plans into the design of my level. The level is very detailed so you may want to turn down resolution or screen size. I have tested it and have achieved a consistent frame rate of 50. This is my first level and I hope you enjoy it.
New MotS Single Player Level: A Jedi's Quest : Part I - Kedri @ 9:54 PM
File: A Jedi's Quest : Part I
Author: Luke Thomas
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight, has been taken on the hard task of re-establishing the Jedi Knight Order. Unfortunately, the task is harder than he originally thought. While traveling the galaxy in search of Jedi artifacts or other clues, Luke begins to find that he is being followed. From system to system, it seems that he constantly has a shadow, and the young Jedi decides to take action. Travelling in his X-Wing with the company of R2-D2, Luke goes to a remote Imperial Intelligence Bunker on the planet of Sarrn. This bunker, once an Imperial listening post used by Grand Admiral Thrawn, has been converted to a small Intelligence center. Imperial Intelligence has always been quite good, so Luke decides that in their database they must have bounty hunters assigned to watch, and possibly kill him. He only needs proof.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Abandoned Temple - Kedri @ 5:50 PM
File: Abandoned Temple
Author: Blidd
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: My first level, this smallish map is set in an ancient temple. It consists of an upper, brightly-lit floor above the ground and the lower and dark catacombs which are well below the surface. There are two devious traps (random gushes of wind and lightning), and it is designed for saber fights. The level is meant for 2-4 players, but it does offer room for more.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Devin Bron's MP Levels - Kedri @ 5:58 PM
File: Devin Bron's MP Levels
Author: Devin Bron
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a gob of 4 levels I have made. As far as I know, there are no bugs in the levels themselves. Here is a small description of each:

Desert Oasis: This was the first level I ever made. I touched it up a little bit to make it better. I thought I would include it just for fun.

Indoors Training Arena: This is the first level where I really made an effort from the start. Even though I've seen levels 10 times as better than this, I think it is a level that's well put together.

Sith Burial Grounds: After making the Indoors Training Arena, I thought I would make a sabers level, and this is my first attempt at one. I think it ought to be fun to play FF with a darkie :P

Obelisk Gym: For my last level, I wanted to make something that would look decent but would also be simple to play in, like Canyon Oasis. I hope I haven't failed (Obelisk is the term for the JKers in the Dark Brotherhood).
