Athendos has updated his 1.00 Saber Faq to 1.01. It includes new tips, techniques, a tactic section, and force use section. The FAQ is organized better and still small keeping the reader interested and focused. Very useful for newbies and a good review for experts.

After a month of being down (due to problems at Outpost D-34), Sandcrawler Productions is back up with three new screenshots and a sound excerpt from the STAR WARS: The Face of Death trailer (our TC).

• New Create Slashable Grate command
• New Restore Surface command

• Pitch, yaw, and roll when creating doors or elevators were not always correct
• Adjoined textured surfaces were not rendered correctly

I've updated the site for my SP level series "Mechanics of the Force" with lotsa new screenshots. Level 2 is coming along very quickly and may be ready for beta testing inside a month. I've included two of the better screenshots.

Skinners is in need of someone to run the site. This person will take over the job as main webmaster of Skinners. This is a very important position. The job requires that you have some previous experience with web sites, and JK Editing. If you are interested then send mail here

• New Create Conveyor Belt command

• The direction of moving surfaces was not always correct
• A crash could occur when connecting to opposite surface

• TPM: The Final Battle
• Mechanics of the Force
• Leeza Haynes: Dark Past

Theouterrim.com has added added 2 mega zip-files of large jpeg images from Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. These are not scanned in from magazines or books, so some have been added to the net for the first time. Here are the details from one of the guys at the site:

These are shots from the movie, not the game. But, I think it can be useful to level authors looking to make authentic EP1 levels, and need reference. Nearly 100 images of almost every scene in TPM, packed into 2 zip files. Some of the images contain spoilers, those who do are titled "Spoiler(number)", so if you haven't seen the movie, you can still enjoy these great pics without being spoiled.

P.S: These are NOT images taken from magazines, etc, so many are only available here, providing "first looks" to fans in countries where TPM is not out. Here they are

File 1 (5 MB)-: Mostly images from Naboo, Gungans, the tatooine duel, Queen Amidala, etc.

File 2 (3 MB)-: Mostly images from the final duel, which contains spoilers. Also many images from the Pod Race.

• Weapon 2: m2025 Pistol
• Weapon 3: M-32 OICW (assault rifle)

• Weapon 5: Glock 17C
• Weapon 6: U-MP5 (sub machinegun)
• Weapon 7a: .44 Destroyer (magnum)
• Weapon 7b: Sniper Rifle
• Weapon 8a: Tripwire Mines
• Weapon 8b: Mines
• Weapon 9: TEC-9 pistols
• Weapon 10: Shotgun

That's right! Jedi Legacy now has its own exclusive version of HothRebel's excellent Duel of the Fates level! This version cuts out the useless areas, eliminates weapons, opens up the hangar, makes droid parts throwable, has a sweet-looking new Naboo fighter, and, in general, is now the saber-fest we've always wanted! I was going to save this for the JL level pack that will be released after my saber mod is done, but it's so damn cool i couldn't save it until then! Just consider it a preview of good things to come from JL!

A quick check of the LucasArts job postings shows that as of July 7, 1999 several development related positions were open, including 3D Modeler, Character Animator, Lead Artist, Lead Designer, Manager of Art, Texture Artist, Senior Programmer, PSX Programmer, Jr. Programmer, and Jr. Programmer-Installer.

We're looking to add a new staff member to our JN Team. We need a person with a fast internet connection (xDSL, cable) to upload JK / MotS related files to the JN files site. This would mean scouting other sites for files that we don't already have as well as uploading submitted files.

A few people have already mailed me about this but I was busy with other things at the time. I'm looking to get this files site energized. We have a great opportunity at JN with access to unlimited FTP space and several FTP mirros (international). If you are interested then send mail to me (spart). You must have experience with HTML, FTP, and be able to spend a good amount of time on this daily.

My editing group, the Sons Of Blood, have made progress on several things. We have made a completed level, and are working on a realistic mod, like Action for Quake2. Here is a screenshot. One of the weapons in the mod. Also check out "the Caves of Tatooine", a level we made, at the site. Enjoy...
