Jedi Academy Reloadedâ„¢ recruitment. -cHoSeN oNe- Oct 19 01:55pm -12 comments-
Still having no SDK for JK:JA, I have decided to go ahead and recruit some people who want to be a part of it. Here is what I need on the team:

-IRC Scripter, familliar with q3 engine commands.
-Website designer/coder.
-Beta Testers (however only our servers will contain the mod to prevent any early release leaks)
-Anyone good/excellent with Perl or Python (this is particularly for server tools)

Please head over to these gamingforums or JA Reloaded forums and leave a message under the Team Members thread in General Discussion or send me an e-mail with an example of your work and some info about you to chosenone@thejediacademy.net. Thanks everyone and I hope that you'll want to be a big part of a great project. :D

There is also an IRC channel on irc.quakenet.org #ja-reloaded.


Missing teachers. -JAcen LW Solo- Oct 16 12:25am -6 comments-
Gents, I've received some complaints about missing teachers. So what I want you to do is to post on my profile whenever you get stood up by a teacher (being a JAT, JAK or myself :) )

TY

Holy Sith - Wireplay is running JK3 -JAcen LW Solo- Oct 15 02:01am -11 comments-
Many thanks to our friends at Wireplay for upgrading their current server to JK3.

Make sure to check out http://www.wireplay.co.uk .

Also many thanks to dft^Nut (yes the guy that hangs on IRC) for setting this up for us, he's the coolest cat.

/me bows to Wireplay.

Almost there! -DJ Sith- Oct 14 02:18am -19 comments-
The response to the "Pledge Drive" has been better than expected. We've recieved about $200 so far which brings us in spitting distance of our goal. What's so awesome about this is these are all coming in $20-$50 increments. You people rule.

JK3 Classes are up. -JAcen LW Solo- Oct 13 02:05am -9 comments-
That's right. Starting this Monday JK3 classes are officially open.

The 1st couple of trainers with cleared classes are Luke Skywalker and NofrikinfuN.

Classes will be authorized one by one pending our approval, so expect more of them very soon.

Until we get an official JA Map for JK3 I've picked a temporary one. It's called "Eternal lair of Ragnos' disciples" and you will need it to attend classes. Please follow the link on the JK3 class server.

Enjoy the learning.


Attention All Mappers!!! -cHoSeN oNe- Oct 12 06:27pm -7 comments-
The new version of GTK Radiant has been released to support JK:JA. You can get it here. Let the good times roll...

Oh I recieved a letter today... -DJ Sith- Oct 10 07:18am -19 comments-
... well I don't know it was addressed to the deputy spade. That's right everyone. Silent Whisper has a deputy and his name is Buzz. He'll be helping out around here with security and making sure the servers are lamer free. Welcome aboard, sir!

If you can see this... -DJ Sith- Oct 09 08:10pm -21 comments-
... then you know the site is going through fits. I'll be adjusting the MySQL server to work a little nicer and I'm doing an audit on the site code to make sure my stuff is running well enough.

It appears the site is going through some times now. With our recent resurgance in activity all the site traffic is affecting game server performance.

The solution to this is to move the website off to another physical server. I work at a datacenter (shameless plug: The Planet Internet Services and ServerMatrix) and can colocate a box or two for free. This network is quite stable and reliable (check the sites for the details. On the serverMatrix forums I go by "klaude". PM me and say hi. :)). I have some parts laying about the house, a case, PSU, video card, floppy drive, and CD drive to put in the server, but don't have much of else.

This is why I'm announcing the JA Pledge Drive! I do my online shopping at newegg.com and have priced out parts for a good sized server that should serve us well:

CPU: Athlon XP 2500+ Barton chip, 333Mhz bus
Mobo: Asus A7V8X
RAM: 2x 512M Cricual PC2700
HDD: Western Digital 7200RPM 80G 8M Cache

The cost of this stuff is about $415. I need to get with Doobie to see how much is in our PayPal account, but I can gaurantee that it's not enough. This is where you come in. We need funds to purchase this. This is completely voluntary. If you don't have the funds or are 12 or something then don't sweat it. If you do wish to donate though please click the PayPal link in our menu. If you're uncomfortable with PayPal then please email me (djsith AT thejediacademy DOT net) and we can work something out. If this takes off and we get a bucket of cash out of this we'll save the rest for tournament prizes or for building a web server nicer than described above. Thanks in advance for your generosity.

The TeamSpeak Server is Down[ UP ] -DJ Sith- Oct 08 09:44am -6 comments-
It's down while I get some things sorted out on it. Thank you for your patience. :) When it comes up it should be version rc2.

---[ updated ! ]-------------

The version 2 doesnt work with FreeBSD unfortunatly, so v1 was re-established.
The password was also changed, since it hadnt been changed evAr.
Please be kind to the free fun services.

Love,
Huxley

A quick note on etiquette -DJ Sith- Oct 06 05:00am -18 comments-
We're managing the servers old school since we don't have an admin mod for Jedi Academy yet. This means whenever you see someone laming on the servers you need to tell one of the JACs and include a screenshot with the console showing. Demos are even better. Taking a picture of a guy firing a rocket at you doesn't work. We need clear evidence before we do something. Remember its one warning then you're out. Papa don't take no mess!
