A-Bank SOF24:50 by The-Viper

OK this map was released 11/24/03 and I figured to check it out its a monster 6.98 mbs ( not sure why tho.) Basically its a map of a bank I was however a little dissapointed in its size given the mbs. of it seemed small to me. However all you dm , inf , fans should like it theres a button in the bank area ( wich is extremely small not much of a bank ) , but I couldnt locate what this did hehehe :).
Also the walkways around the top are really narrow not giving you much room . The map does have some cool weird looking textures and strange avant gaurd type of set up . Created by Blizzard Senior

dem,inf,tdm,dm,elim,ctf,

I gave this map a C+ ( Your opinion may differ )

Global Jedi Senate?13:38 by RambOrc

Darth-X has an interesting proposition:

We are proposing that clans throughout the world unite start a kinda galactic senate, (the closest thing in real life is the United Nations)
Now what is the point in this i hear you cry! well ill try and explain a few things. the leaders of the clans involved can meet and discuss the problems that they are facing and seek guidence from the other leaders. along with this we can recognise the threats of other clans that are disturbing peace and as a group force we can try to calm them down with, hehe, i quote, 'agressive negotiations' if they do not respond to our request to leave other clans alone.

The first proposed meeting is this Saturday. For more info on this and to add yor feedback, see this post on our forums.

Jedi Academy Patch 1.01 Released9:21 by Neo

Ravensoft have just released the 1.01 Patch for JK3 for all to download from HERE.

Here are the changes:

Global

Fixed dynamic glow performance for new ATI drivers (if you are experiencing low framerate, go into Setup - More Video and change dynamic glow to off).
Updated EAX 4.0 sound support.

Single Player fixes

Force feedback defaults to off (if you are experiencing hiccupping while playing, especially during lightsaber battles, go into Controls - Mouse/Joystick and set force feedback to "No").
Note: Gravis gamepad users should turn force feedback to off.
Gravis drivers aren’t compatible with Jedi Academy and will cause the game to crash.
Patch will work around manufacturing defect which causes single player not to run.
Resetting defaults in game will no longer reset your skill level.
Fixed bug allowing player to select a force power that had already been maxed out.
Fixed animation issue if enemies force push you while executing a special move.
Ragdoll fixes.

Multiplayer fixes

Fixed bug causing Internet servers to time out too early on master server list.
Fixed bug causing various movement sounds not to play consistently (footsteps, rolling, etc.).
Fixed bug regarding turning off of second saber.
Fixed bug preventing camera shake if hit by explosive.
Fixed roll animation.
Fixed exploit allowing for illegal character models.
Fixed bug allowing rocket launcher lock-on after death.
Various exploit fixes.

****************************************************
Please note: Server admins must update their servers to the new 1.01 code. This may take a few days and 1.01 multiplayer games may be scarce until all servers upgrade to 1.01.
