Revamp @ DBZ: The Destruction is Real -
Bubba sent word (HTMLized and everything!) of the many updates taking place at DBZ: The Destruction is Real. We'll let him do the talking.
The staff at DragonBallZ: The Destruction is Real has been working hard for these last two weeks organizing and preparing for this revamp, and it has finally happened. Shred18 has pumped out some major skins that are fantastic looking. We have updated the site's character screens, gameplay shots, levels, FAQ, and added an about section which will go more in-depth on the modification for Jedi Knight. We will also be releasing some new gameplay movies and such within the next few weeks. Be sure to check back for updates.
Serious Sam Mapping Tutorial -
I have written and posted a mapping tutorial for Serious Sam, the recently released FPS by Croteam. You can find the tutorial at Serious Editing. This tutorial is written for both brand-new mappers (never mapped for any game) and experienced mappers new to Serious Sam editing. It covers creating a basic room, basic architecture, texturing, lighting, layering, and adding enemies.
If you haven't noticed, I really, really enjoy this game! I strongly suggest you at least download the demo (from Croteam). If you like it, go spend the mere $20 that it costs to buy. Both the map editor (Serious Editor - used to create all the levels in Serious Sam) and the modeler (Serious Modeler - used to create all the models and animations in Serious Sam) were released for free on the game CD.

New Jedi Knight Mod: Silly Mod (Beta) -
File: Silly Mod (Beta)
Author: JediideJ
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This mod was originally intended to make every animation in JK "silly." Due to lack of interest it died. It is compatible with many mods, such as KWP. This is in no way meant to be a gameplay mod: it is meant for a few seconds of fun. This was my very first mod and the animations are quite crumby, but I was proud of them when I made them so this is submitted so they won’t go to waste. There are new animations for fowards, backwards, left strafe, right strafe, crouch, jump, fall, land, and activate.

New MotS Multiplayer Level: The Water Tower -
File: The Water Tower
Author: GhostOfYoda
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Once, a city had a tower built to store water. It was a majestic site. The designer, Mahki Sheebe, was particulary proud of the ventilation system that supported the tower. Unfortunately, after construction, a major design flaw was discovered: as the tank filled up with water, so would the control room. It was decided the tower was to be knocked down, and Mahki was surely ruined. At the last minute, however, a young buisness man bought the tower to be used for tournaments and fights. Now, the tower is waiting, waiting for one brave enough to enter.
This level is a small/medium level for 2 to 4 players. It is recommended to be played on higher-end machines. Only a Jedi with the neutral force powers has any hope of leaving the level with a score above 0! It is hard to camp as each area is joined to the level in many ways. I hope you enjoy playing this level as much as I enjoyed making it!

File: Hidden Valley
Author: MoS_SaBeRCrAzY_
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a big multiplayer level set on a remote planet where all fully-trained Jedi go to continue their training. It’s a valley with 4 rivers running into it, meeting in a lake on the main level (the lake has a shark in it). There is also a canyon leading up to a temple room; use the Force to find it. The level is a saber level for the most part, but all you gunners out there can go in with Force 4 and find guns & ammo. To play HiDDeN VaLLeY you need a 3D acceleration card; it's very hard on slow computers (that means all you framerate elite turn on your 3d cards... you have them, use them). I hope you all have as much fun playing it as I had making it. Peace

The Darkness arena must be played with care because stealth is key.. if you pull out a light saber you will reveal your position for sure. The Strobe arena adds a "high" feeling from the flickering lights every where. This is still in progress and I haven't been able to get it to look exactly how I want it yet, but like it says this is a beta. Some of the JK textures are still to be changed; I just have done so much that I decided to release another version so I can get some more feedback before going on again.

Rbots Rewrite -
I'm a bit behind the times, but some of you may not have noticed this. The Rbots team stated that they are completely rewriting both the JK and the MotS Rbots code. This means one thing: postponement. Here's what they said..
As some of you already know, the JK version of the latest release (0.23) has been postponed indefinately. This is due to some serious problems with the current code that works fine in MotS, but refuses to run in JK. The only way to fix this is to totally rewrite the code from scratch. This is not necesarily a bad thing, as there's a lot of useless code in there. This rewrite would also be for the MotS version. What I'd like from you guys is a list of 'must have' suggestions to incorporate into the rewrite. Join in the discussion and add your suggestions here.Its kind of sad I guess, but at least it will have cleaner code and we can have both a JK and MotS version. Good luck Rbots team.
Changes at HLWT -
MikeC updated Have Lightsaber, Will Travel today with an important announcement. It involves his SP level, Pirate Recon. Here's a quote for ya.
I have made a major decision regarding my Pirate Recon level. Every pirate you battle in the level will be unique. You may see the same skin more than once, but something will be significantly different (different weapons for example). Even seeing the same skin used will be very rare. Lots of the pirates will be based on Al McDonald's great skins, but many of them will not.Thats a very unique aspect of an SP, and I look forward to it. On another note, he has been producing new enemies for this level like a mad person, and you really should check out the screen shots. They're amazing. So do it, which means you'll have to click here.
Millennium News -
Though its not really fully hosted as of now, it is in heart, Millennium (in its spiffy non-Massassi Japanese url web site form), has updated itself numerous times without the acknowledgement of the main Massassi site. The updates include updates on his new mod, EnhancePack ME, which will be the continuation of the former Enhance Packs, which were very great to say the least. Lots of weapons and items to see, so check that part out. Also, there is a poll on what kind of forum Millennium should be using. I suggest you go on over there and check out all of the new features and look at what kind of stuff he is brewing up for EnhancePack ME, at Millennium.
I think I used up all of my commas.

Did Someone Say... SS3? -
Well, thanks to last night's frag-fest, my sleeping habit's all shot to hell... the one good thing to come out of this bizarro state is that the final piece of SavageX's Space Soldiers 3 mod and DM levels submissions has fallen into place, and I was awake at the moment to put it all together. You see, the info for the submissions was sent just over a week ago, but getting our hands on the necessary files has been a little difficult, because SS3's host site Outpost D-34 has been in the process of switching over to the Gamestats Network.
My many thanks go to the folks in #massassi who were able to DCC me their copies of both zip files that they downloaded before Outpost D-34 began switching servers. In my semi-concious state right now I'm pressed to remember your names, but you know who you are! A big thanks also goes to SavageX, who was able to provide select screenshots for the submissions below.
So why are you still reading this? Go! Download and play, I say! Play!

The Massassi Temple Presents... -
The Massassi Temple is proud to present the long-anticipated Massassi Temple CTF Pack. This pack features the best CTF I have ever seen for Jedi Knight, and I am very proud to finally release it on behalf of the staff.
Like anything, however, it takes a lot of people to put it on and make it great. First and foremost, I'd like to thank all those who entered the contest: Mormegil, ctsketch, Raynar, Takimoto, Jkguy_009, DeTRiTiC-iQ, and MaDaVentor. These few brave souls ventured where not many JK editors have gone before: CTF. Their effort and commitment to the community are what made this possible. All of them are winners in my book.
Second, I'd like to thank all of my judges (you know who you are). It takes a lot to judge CTF levels, especially considering that the gameplay sometimes just doesn't work by yourself or with only one other person. If it weren't for your commitment as well, this would have never been possible either.
And finally I thank you, the people, for presenting this new idea and following through with it. I think I can honestly say the voice of the people today is heard with the release of this pack. Perhaps now CTF can become more widespread in the community, on the Zone, and amongst ourselves. Kudos, everyone.
Etc. -
You may notice the menu background has changed. I'm still trying to decide whether I'm going to keep it or not. It was submitted by Hebedee and Zuljin. I like the image but it seems too bright on the left side. If you have any thoughts, feel free to leave a message on the forums.

Author: DemonicMurray1
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is my first mod, and I call it JK Unlimited. In this mod, ammo, mana boosts, bacta containers, and battery power-ups are a thing of the past. Any Force powers you have won't drain your mana when used. The IR Goggles and the Field Light don't drain battery power, so since you start out with a few battery units, you'll never need more battery. Also the same with bacta: you don't run out once you have at least one container. Probably the best part, though, are the guns. Now all you need is the gun itself, and you'll never run out of ammo! Some Force powers are now more powerful, also. Read the readme for all the details. By the way, this mod works fine in multiplayer. Also, please note that in the screenshots Kyle has fired yet he is still at full power.
Before you rate this, two things:
1. This is my first mod and when this was posted I was kind of new to JK editing.
2. I know people have done things like this before, but just remember, it does exactly what it's supposed to, no more, no less.

Description: This level was derived from the original Canyon Oasis. It has been fitted with more guns and ammunition, with a similar balance with that of the well-known but difficult-to-find Ji Oasis. Since some of the textures in this level are 16-bit mats, you must have a graphics card that supports these higher-quality images. This level also has a special attribute, that if enabled, will give you a third-person (camera view) crosshair that is very suitable for this level. To enable the crosshair, you need to change the boolean value located in the custom made kyle.cog which resides in 16o.GOB. If you have any questions, please drop me an e-mail or contact me on the MSN Gaming Zone ("_y0nk_" or "_SteppinRazor").

Numerous Updates at TACC -
Some of this news is a day late, but I'll post it anyways. Ryan of our hosted site The Admiral's Command Chamber has updated with one new level, a level update, and three walkthroughs. The level is a Jedi Knight level called Ruins of the Sith, which you can get here. The updated level is (was) called "Galaxy of Fear: Space Station XI". It has been renamed to "Galaxy of Fear 1: The Empire's Capital", and you can get that here. The final update was the addition of three walkthroughs. Those include Home's Call, The New Empire Part 2, and Vengeance of Maris-Arco-Xon, all of which were created by Chris Swan. That is a lot of quality update, so go check it out at The Admiral's Command Chamber.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: JK Domination (SDK and demo) -
File: JK Domination (SDK and demo)
Author: SavageX
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a SDK and demo that features the new Unreal Tournament style domination mode for use in Jedi Knight! This file includes the LEC CTF level "The Duel" that has been converted into a domination level and a document teaching JK editors how to add domination to their levels.
The rules of JK Domination are simple. There are 3 control points placed in a level. These control points have that same appearance as the CTF flags in JK CTF except they are gray. In order for teams to gain points, they must secure a control point by walking into them (which turns the control points into the team's color) and then make sure that no other team secures them. The more control points your team secure, the more points your team gains.
Whenever a control point is secured, the team that secured it (and the player that secured it for his team) will gain 5 points. After that, while that control point is still held for that team, that team will then gain 1 point every 3 seconds. However, if another team secures the control point, your team will stop gaining points from that control point and the other team will get the points instead.
In order to keep taps on which control points are secured from which team, status screens are placed through out the level (similar to the score boards in JK CTF) that display which control points have been secured by showing the control point's number in the color of the team that secured it. Keep an eye out for these display screens so you can figure out which control points need to be secured and defended.
As in JK CTF, The level will end whenever a team reaches a score limit or when the time limit is reached. Additional team scoring occurs when players kill the opposing team. They only gain 1 point per kill for both the team and the killer so don't depend on winning just by killing. Unlike JK CTF, you only lose 1 point when you commit suicide, not 2.
Also unlike JK's CTF, there is no lobby and no teleporters for teams in this mod. Everyone starts out in the game like they would in Deathmatch. However, they will already be set to a team when they join (by default, they are set to either red or gold teams.) The "team" console command is NOT disabled in JK Domination so you can switch to other teams while in play. JK domination can support up to 4 teams (not 2 like in JK CTF) so you can choose to be on the green or blue team as well as red and gold.

Author: BoL_Pretender
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Based off the Final Force Skinpack from Al MacDonald, this is the official Brigade of Light Skin Pack. Contains a total of 148 skins and 57 new lightsabers, including seventeen 16-bit sabers for your enjoyment.
Also contains a brand new black and silver saber handle and a great new main menu loading screen. This pack works like BFP 2X in that not everyone needs this pack active to join a game. People will see Katarn skins if they don't have the pack active while the host does.
Finally, this pack has a LOT of new sounds for the main Star Wars characters from all 4 of the movies. I will let you find out which skins have new sounds. Also all the skins have proper character names, which the original Final Force for some reason lacked.

Description: You are mercenary/common rascal called Henry Rodder, and your mission for the day is to kill a rebel officer imprisoned at the heart of the the Empire itself, Coruscant. And escape.
The level is quite long, with lots of ships flying around: TIEs, Corellian ships. Nice architecture with buildings rising up to space full of windows, platforms etc... Imperial troopers/commandos storming down corridors shooting to kill... and two cantinas full of shadowy aliens...
It has a variety of puzzles and different goals, but it's not too hard to beat if you have two fingers of forehead. This level will provide a nice half hour of fun, if played properly.
