New MotS Multiplayer Level: Mercenary Complex (Beta v.1) -
File: Mercenary Complex (Beta v.1)
Author: Bobafett765
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A medium-sized multiplayer level meant for 2 to 4 players. It is set in an old mercenary base. Many weapons and items to suit any one player's needs! In my opinion, it's the average deathmatch level which most MotS players will enjoy. This is the beta version, and therefore isn't complete, so there's MUCH more to come!

Description: This is King of the Ring (not that wussy wrestling stuff). Well, I'm sure if you are on The Zone a lot, you have heard about this level already. If not, I'll tell you. The object is to use C-Rifles to knock each other out of the boundaries and into their own death. When playing, you would play to minus 5 instead of 5 (for instance). You can also use Sabers and Rails to rack points up. But it's a lot of fun just Concs. I put a full version of Space Arena in here (Traps, Mines, Rail Guns, ETC...) and then a Plain version (Just Concs and health and stuff, no traps, secret room is locked). Have fun people. www.king.2ya.com is the site for the project. There may be more King of the Ring levels in the future. This is all for now =D.

The level now has a shed in the back yard, a septic tank, more wooded areas, multiple ways to the basement, and some sniper points. I recommend playing this level with realistic mods like SS3Beta9 and Sniper Arena. There is no AI in the level because I found it was to hard for me to do synced AI.

Looking good.... -
Hey everybody! The new Jedi Outcast Site has some pretty cool updates. The updates included new screenshots that will make you drool when you see them. Also, they have a new section up called "Models" that shows some of the enemies. Lastly, they started another new section called "Community". It tells about some of the JK II fan sites including Jedi Knight II.net. Have fun looking at the pictures!
JK2 Screens -
If you're having problems accessing Lucasarts.com (as are half the people in the chat room right now), Jipe has kindly mirrored the screenshots here.
User Database Bug -
Firestorm brought a very serious bug to my attention. It had to do with the user database that we use for the level rating/commenting system and the Editor's Corner. The resolution of this bug may cause problems in some of the level comments. So, if you add a comment and get some strange errors, please email me with the exact level you were commenting on, and I'll see what I can do to fix it. If you have a user name that doesn't work or that suddenly stopped working, try to re-register it, and if that doesn't work, email me and I'll look into it. For more technical information on this bug, read on...
Basically, when we moved to the Recon Gamer servers, we moved off of a Linux server onto a Windows server. MySQL on Windows isn't case sensitive, while it is on Linux. PHP, on the other hand, is case-sensitive on both. So when my PHP scripts were checking for duplicate users (when someone registered), it wasn't finding any. This means that it was allowing people to register names like 'Brian' and 'BRIAN' (which are different), but when trying to login with those names, it didn't know which one to check the password on (because to MySQL, they were both the same). So it was generally allowing the first person to register the name to use it, but all the subsequent registrations would get strange errors. The resolution was to delete the unique indexes in the database (since they weren't working anyway), delete all the duplicate entries, and then add a new unique index to the user name field. Strange stuff.

To the authors -
Hang in there guys! I haven't been able to post very many levels recently due to the fact that my internet connection has been up and down. I have a ton of levels that still need to be posted. Hopefully, I will be all caught up by Thursday. I have most of the week off. So, to all authors who submitted their levels/mods from the 16th through today, please don't resubmit the levels. I have them in my inbox. That's it for me....

New MotS Multiplayer Level: Mercenary Complex Beta v.2 -
File: Mercenary Complex Beta v.2
Author: Bobafett765
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A medium-sized multiplayer level meant for 2 to 4 players. It is set in an old mercenary base that was captured by the Empire, and soon after abandoned. Many weapons and items to suit any player's needs! In my opinion, it's the average deathmatch level which most MotS players will enjoy. The final version will be out soon, with more items, weapons, rooms, etc! This version is MUCH better than the original, so try it out!

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: DBZ: TDIR Tournament Level Pack -
File: DBZ: TDIR Tournament Level Pack
Author: ctsketch and Ubuu aka iostream
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level pack is created for the DBZ:TDIR modification. This pack is composed of 3 tournament levels. All are from famous tournament settings in the DBZ Universe. These tournament arenas include: Cell's Game Arena, the 4.0 Bodouki (Toukchi Bodouki), and Heaven's Tournament. These levels were orginally thought out to include cogs much like the JK Arena modification, but due to time restraints will not. Cell's Game Arena is an 8-bit level, while the other 2 levels are 16 bit. Intended to be used with DBZ:TDIR , this pack can work with anything, but the best will come out once TDIR is released. Have fun!

Description: I modified the popular Oasis level into a gigantic hunting ground for the gun happy Jedi. After all, that's where all the fun is in my opinion. You won't find any impressive cog work or stunning architecture here, I just wanted to make a level I felt would be fun. To all you hosts, the level seems to lag when you start the level, but will run smoother once you've run around a while... Note: Sorry for how the pictures look.
