Please Bear With Us - Brian
The site is about to go through a major change which should greatly improve our service. All downloads will work properly, the page will load more quickly, the forums will be managed better and the updates will increase. More on this later...

On another note, we will soon be needing another one or two news posters. We only want serious, dedicated people who will update every day (or close to it). Only apply if your spelling and grammar skills are excellent. If accepted to this volunteer position, you will be posting news, levels, 3do's, prefabs, and anything else that pops up around here.

Star wars trilogy TC - EvanC
A sad thing I found on the message board:
The Star Wars Trilogy Total Conversion is on the verge of cancellation. Why you may ask? The reason is I can't find any committed editors who can create what I'm looking for. I've ended up working on a majority of the levels myself (right now, I am creating 4 of the levels). If I don't get any help soon, I'm going to have to give up.
This is directly from The Star wars TC's website. They are desperatly in need of DEDICATED editors. This project is one that many people were looking forward to. If you think you can put in a bit of work for this TC then I urge you to go to the site and sign up.

Andromeda Editing Network - Brian
Got an email:
Like assorted gaming news coming at you @ 450 mph in no particular order? Like editing? Check out the ANE Network ...not just cause you want to, but because I'm telling you to. Fabio loves Frag.com/ane. With time, you will too.

Although not too filled to that brim with content right now, news comes daily with a minimum of ten posts. Check out our tutorials, plug your site in the link database, or send us your grandma's meetloaf recipies. Good, clean, fun.
I have to plug this site since they use the links script that I released! Anyway, the site looks great, hopefully they'll do well in the editing market.

Prefab? Oh wait, he played bass for the Ramones... - Kedri
RSS_LightSide, inspired by the patron saint of prefabs (I believe it's Saint Juniper), has released another prefab, one he calls 2 Ways. He explains:
This is a prefab designed to make life easier. Adjoining can be annoying, but if you want a small level without the complicated work of adjoining, this is the prefab for you! This prefab is a room with 2 hallways connected to 2 other rooms; you can put your own wall pattern up, put in some 3DOs, then just save and you will have a cool, fast and furious level.
Thanks to LightSide for sending in the file.

Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who's ever written a tutorial, submitted a 3do, level, mat, cog, etc, or answered a post on the message boards. Without you people, this site would be nothing.

Description: A medium-sized JK level with a lot of tricks, traps, and some unique fighting enviromnents. Two large underground bunkers provide great teamplay and the overall darkness makes it look and feel like the caves of Tatooine. All guns and most powerups can be found inside and outside of the locked bunkers. That's it in a nutshell... so go download it and give it to all your cronies...

Matt and the Mechanics - Kedri
Let's face it: the screenshots sent in with Mechanics of the Force Level 1 down below aren't going to win any awards, and at a whopping 4.5 Megs of a download, most people are going to need a little more convincing. So Matt Chapman hooked us up with some links to his Screenshots Page, as well as to the Main MotF Page. It's been updated to include info on his current project, MotF Level 2.

Six months of beta testing still couldn't solve all of the bugs. I believe this is as good as it's gonna get, which isn't all that bad. I know that sounds lame but this was my first level and I'd like to move on, y'know?

3do Studio Axed - Brian
I don't know if this has been announced yet (or whether anyone knew), but I was browsing the JediKnight.net hosted sites, and found this farewell message from the author of 3do Studio. Sad to see another project bite the dust. Just goes to show, if you are working on an important project (be it programming, levels, artwork, whatever, back it up!

File: Saber Battle on Naboo
Author: Joshua
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is supposed to be a level similar to the lightsaber duel at the end of Episode I. It is my first level and I thought that that part of the movie was so neat, I just had to make a level based on it for Jedi Knight. I may revise it if I get enough feedback to do so, by including Episode I skins in the level, so that people without the Episode I patches can play as ObiWan QuiGon, Darth Maul, etc.

New JK Multiplayer Level: Drazen Isle - Brian
File: Drazen Isle
Author: Jeff Walters
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Talk about being a long time coming. After waaaaaay too long, Drazen Isle (JK MP level) is finally released. I only have one thing to add and it's very important -> read the level's accompanying documentation and map before playing. The level is very big and very complex, if you don't check out the doc/map before playing you'll likely be completely lost and/or completely thrashed by any opponent who actually *has* read them. Also note the level is mainly aimed at relatively high-end PC's.

Webmaster's Note: Thanks to Outpost D-34 for the screenshots.
Puppet Jedi - Brian
JediKnight.net announced that a new vesion of Puppet Jedi has been released. A while back, Alexei Novikov (of the The Code Alliance) released the source code of Puppet Jedi at the suggestion of some people on his message board. The new Puppet Jedi's core was written by Alexie Novikov, but all the new features (listed below) have been added by Ugg_Boot, author of many Jed Plugins. Here is the info that JK.net posted:
Puppet Jedi v0.5, the first keyframe editor for JK/MOTS, is now availiable. Finally, JK/MOTS editors have a user-friendly keyframe editor. Keyframes are what allow characters to run, jump and fight. Originally developed by Alexei Novikov as a keyframe viewer, it now sports these new features:
  • JED style resource picker.
  • Movement and rotation of 3DO nodes using the mouse.
  • Function to display the path travelled by a node.
  • Keyframe summary, for editing the entry frame numbers.
  • AutoCopy function, for quicker editing of node positions and angles.
  • Help manual and tutorial.
  • KEY saving.
