    Well, this past week has seen the reinstallation of perhaps one of the greatest flight sim of all time X-Wing Alliance (see the latest posts in this thread).

    Pat-fett, Billy_Shears and I have had a few games already and are getting back into it (Billy is a greek) and I just had a bit of a hankering for some 'Rail Totingness'.

    So, Jedi Knight, Mysteries Of The Sith, Jedi Outcast and perhaps Jedi Academy games.

    A while back we were talking about themed games using the old skin pack and stuff and to hell with it, let's throw caution to the wind and do it.

    So, for anyone interested.

    First thing is install it

    Get Jedi Knight patch commander.

    The Massassi Temple is still up and running and we should be able to get maps and mods

    I think SaberX1, SaberX2 and Spork are a must. I can't find spork's web site, can anyone help with that or host the file if they still have it for us to Download?

    JP / Flare: Do either of you still have the skinpack, JP can you host that possibly?

    Actually; I just found patch commander on my system and it has your skinpack and sbx2 in it already, so if people need/want it, PM / AIM / MSN me for it.

    Levels:
    Massassi level pack with Can YunO Ace Is? etc
    Morpheus - can't find it; some help please?

    Can-Yun-O-Ace-Is was amazing.

    I miss the Sandcrawler map too.

    I just had an idea about Game files we've used in the past or will use. We should make a JCN.GL File archive thread. Post Files like maps, Mods, JP's Skin Pack, etc. for the various games we play, JK/JO,XWA etc. That way when the mood hits for a revival, as we've done from time to time over the years, we have easy access to get things up and running again. This ensures we don't have to rely on hoping that person X saved that one obscure file.

    I was searching through my HD and found a MS-Word version of "Jedi Outcast Skinning for Newbies" written by JP, dated 1/8/2003 - 44 pages. :p

    I can't seem to find my XWA CD, but I am good for JO. :)

    Nice. I remeber that thing. I tried my hand at skinning then gave up in frustration. That's the kind of thing we should make an archive for. Good find.

    I'm still in a XWA mood but if a few peps want to get a game of JK or JO going some time this week I'll install the game.

    Prepare to be mocked for claiming Purg is the best level.

    That being said, I hafta agree it is truly and deeply amazing.

    You know, if you guys are actually serious about this, I might be compelled to actually sign up for DSL after all.

    I've been basically offline for weeks now, but what can I say? I'm killing time this weekend, got nostalgic, came back to the JC, and what do I find but a JK thread? It's a sign man, it's so totally a sign.

    JK reminds me of my uni years.

    I just got home last night from my extended weekend trip.

    Wish I didn't have to come back.

    I'll try get JK/MOTS working and we'll see about a game sometime soon. As for random maps, no offence to people suggesting them, but I think the core would prefer to play the standard maps we have had countless games in and know well.

    I wouldn't mind some of the Draco maps. They were always fun for a laugh. I'm good for a game anytime after Weds. Just need to dl and install everything.

    So let's get rolling. List what mods, levels etc. we want for our first game. Also about the JCN skin pack, if I remember right, it was uploaded to massassi.net. I'm just not sure what it was released as. I'll have a look on there and see if I can dig it up.

    Edit: Well that was easy. God Bless JP for the simple name. :p

    That's not the full JCNGL pack, that's just the SW characters.

    I'm a bit all over the place at the moment, so I'm sorry but I can't say 'this day' will be it. Work is weather dependant and whatnot. Also, I'm thinking about going for a hunt for a few days... maybe tomorrow.

    My JK is up and running, morpheus is as good as ever and force fly is back in action :) pity I don't have the stripped version so it's compatible with the skinpack...

    something we will just have to live with.

    Daj and I just tried a game and neither of us could find the other person's game through tcp/ip connection... :(

    Firewall was off... can't think of anything. Anyone?

    One was patched and the other wasn't, possibly.

    Make sure you're both running the same version.

    Pat and Billy couldn't see/find my IP in XWA the other week either... and that was fully patched.
