==Overview==<br />
<br />
{{quote|The Jedi Academy is a collection of individuals who have a common interest in playing multiplayer Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy. We are a multi-national group that constantly strives to provide a friendly and respectful setting in which to learn the game.<br /><br />We provide instruction primarily on lightsaber dueling technique, but also team-based and capture-the-flag strategies. The Academy holds numerous weekly classes that focus attention on specific aspects of the game, taught and assisted by Jedi Academy Trainers and Knights culled from our ranks.<br /><br />The Academy also provides a collection of Forums to allow for the discussion of various aspects of Star Wars, Jedi Knight, and other miscellaneous topics.|[[DJ Sith]]}}<br />

==History==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy was concepted by [[JediSith999]] in 2002 when he posted on [http://www.lucasforums.com/ Lucasforums] looking for a "Jedi Academy Training School" for [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=37324]. The responses were fairly positive but the only suggestion he received was that he should consider joining a clan. Even in that thread, people had already began to collaborate knowledge and teach eachother new things.<br />
<br />
Enthusiastic about the idea, he applied for webspace at [http://www.jediknightii.net jediknightii.net] [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=39096] and upon receiving a very positive response, sought the help of webmasters [[massadoobie]] and [[DJ Sith]] to build a website that would see instructors teach students, classes and padawans in an online school called "The Jedi Academy" [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39227].<br />
<br />
{{quote|I always wanted someone to train me, but nooone did, so I think it would be nice to train others. I hope JK2.net accepts the site. Im thinking this will be done within a month or so. So Im just hoping for the best and trying to get everything organized for you.|[[JediSith999]], Founder}}<br />
<br />
A rough design was constructed [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=39593] and submitted to the jediknightii.net team who agreed to host it [http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=41183]. DJ Sith agreed to host the academy's first server in Dallas, Texas [http://www.thejediacademy.net/servers_detail.php?f_id=2].<br />

{{quote|i do think it will help convert dozens, maybe hundreds, to the dork nation by giving them some pointers on how to play the game...|[[massadoobie]], Webmaster}}<br />

==Provided==<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy provides instructional tutoring on dueling technique, team based game types, and everything in general that goes along with [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] and [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]]. There are currently four [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s that teach different classes. The [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank helps the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]]s with class'. Both the [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] rank and the [[Jedi Academy Knight]] rank have a Padawan system for those who cannot attend classes or wish to work more closely and get one on one help.<br />
<br />
Along with the teachings that they give, they also provide a nice atmosphere for anyone and everyone that comes across the servers.<br />
<br />
==Sports==<br />
<br />
{{Main|Jedi Academy Aurochs}}<br />
<br />
The Jedi Academy Aurochs are the official sports team of [[The Jedi Academy]]. Members from the Academy are recruited into the Aurochs to represent the community both in fighting ability and in good sportsmanship. The Aurochs compete in [[TFFA]] and [[Duel Mode|Duel]] matches against other teams in [[JK3]]. The JAA also takes an active role in contributing back to the Academy and also to the entire JK3 community. As such, the Aurochs comprise the very best of the Academy.<br />
<br />
The first Academy team to carry the name "Aurochs" was originally created by [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[(SKX) Dark Blade]] as a casual [[Hydroball]] team at the Academy. Who the original players were and how active the team was at that time is unknown today. All that is known is the team eventually fizzled out with the arrivial of [[JK3]].<br />
<br />
In 2003, Aphex created the first version of the Aurochs as they are today. He invisioned a team of Academy members that could go out and compete against other clans/teams in Duels and TFFA while representing the Academy. Aphex wanted the Aurochs to spread word of the Academy to various players in JK3 that didn't know about it and needed help.<br />

*~''The code of the Sedith have no bounds at all, for without bounds, we are more closer to the force than any other force sensetive out there. ''<br />
<br />
This is the outcome of Zødiac's phylosophy after the his first period in the Academy.<br />
<br />
== The Beginning==<br />
The first time Zødiac started playing at all was somewhere at the end of year 2006, although he did not start at multiplayer. His ambition to become a jedi started when he played a Star Wars game at his friends house. Though their he had many limitations. He could not control the jedi completely and he rarely felt any freedom in the game. Thats when he started looking for another game, that which would allow him to control his player/jedi completely. It took him a few days to find a game called "Jedi Academy". Analyzing the game pictures he decided to download and play the game. He was amazed and overjoyed that he had practicly complete control in the game. The story was good, the gameplay was awesome, the graphics were great. The perfect game if you want to be a Jedi. Although all good things come to an end and he finished the game. He finished in every difficulty except "Jedi Master". It took him long enough but at the beginning of year 2007 he completely finished Single Player mode. After that, he deleted the game.<br />
After 5 months, right in the middle of year 2007 he installed it again and finally discovered Multiplayer Mode and begun his true path as a Jedi.<br />
<br />
== Before The Jedi Academy ==<br />
*~''The Sith are aggressive, they always attack first, never caring for their action or the consequence, if they lose, they call you a noob. Well... the most noobs that come are usually the Sith because the Sith do not care about the game rules, or unwritten ones.''<br />
This was Zødiac's past. He started playing on solo mode. Right from the start, he made his model look like a black guy, not that he is black himself, but that his head is practically bold, he got the idea from the upcoming Star Wars game called: The Force Unleashed. Though, during his time in single player, he looked very different. But in the end, he decided to look just like he used to before he started Multiplayer mode. Anyways, Zødiac was more a theory guy right from the start. A few days of game play, and he knew practically everything he had to know about the game for that time. He studied saber advantages and disadvantages. That’s why he chosen to take the Double bladed saber as his main weapon. For as read, that saber was the most powerful of them all but was also referred as the "Noobstaff". He did not get it why, but it didn’t matter, he was happy with what he had for that time. He used to create maps, full of bots and started his own massacres. At first, it was very hard to keep up with the ranks, but as days passed, he started to have total domination among the bots. He was always first in the score board and always by an impressive lead. It didn’t take long for him to get bored, so he decided to check out the online play. As a reminder, Zødiac did not update his client, so he saw the servers which were running on the old version of the game. And even the servers were half dead and barely active, Zødiac decided to call those servers his home. For the fact, that the servers might have had some bad players, but mainly everybody was good there. Lack of active players and activity really had a toll on the servers, but it kept the community solid and friendly. Though Zødiac had his moments of shame and depression there. The first day Zødiac ever came to the servers, he first visited the FFA servers, but as he fought, he noticed that his way of thinking that the Staff is the strongest and can beat everyone started to crumble. It was that time when he noticed the first Single saber player. Which owned Zødiac like hell. Nothing personal he said, but Zødiac could not get it out his mind. How could a single saber beat staff? He kept his questions and feelings inside for a time. Zødiac never had a normal nickname. His intention was to create a back-up nick. He wanted to name himself his original nick, but since he was still a noob, he decided to create another nick, and change into his original when he becomes very strong. At first, he was a pure FFA player, until one day he took on the single saber. Too slow. He did not see what made every single saberist so good, so he decided to change into duals. Changed his appearance, his nick to Deez. At first, he was very bad at duals, but with time, he started to win a couple of fights. It didn’t take long for him to get at the single saber again. From then on, he started to train on the single saber like crazy. He choose his saber color as violet, for to him, it meant speed, accuracy. He had his crazy thoughts about many things. He trained day and night. He started to get how the single saber works. Though the process was very long. Eventually, it all lead to the fact that Dominus (he changed his nick after duals again) left the game once again. At beginning of 2008 he started playing again. Strange, but then, he became stronger than he has ever been. It was then, when he started to form his philosophy, that in order to win, you have to use everything you can and know. Thus it leads him into the first meeting with the exploits. As he progressed with the single saber, he started to use various exploits and cheats more often. He knew so many ways to win, that he started to get invincible. Though, it didn’t take long for him to get bans for his actions. Then he realized that he must control all of his actions to a reasonable state. In other words, he decided to not overdo with exploits and cheats. He started to play clean, though many exploit and cheat habits were burned in him, and there were moments when he could not control himself. The day came when he was noticed by a clan. The clan was called Cyrus. The original clan died a long time ago, but since it was rebuilt, the staff of Cyrus decided to add some new and powerful players. Dominus was included. Though he changed his nick once again, so they would not find out who he is. He changed his nick to Shen. Strange, he did not do it intentionally, but after some time, he found out, that Dominus meant domination. Shen meant god. Those who knew this and told him that, gave him a strange impression of himself. Once he joined the clan Cyrus, he got the rank of Saber Master. He started to think that he is now a master. Although, before that, he thought that he is the one who needs a master. That was when he stumbled upon a community called: The Jedi Academy. He liked the idea of having a padawan. But since he got the rank and became a master (that’s what he thought), he left the idea of joining that community behind. Although, he still got a master. His first master was called King. But he was poor as master, all he did, was taught him more exploits and more ways to use them. Days passed and Shen embraced the ways of exploits, and to top it all, he finally figured out how to create his own force mode character. He removed the textures of his face and hands and became the one with the force (that’s what he thought he was). He became the only player on all of those servers that had such a model, because, as time passed, the secret of that model disappeared. Shen figured out how to make himself look like that all by himself. He started to get noticed by all, but he started to figure, that he still has allot to learn and that King wont teach him anymore. So he joined The Jedi Academy. The first thing he did, was write an application in the "Looking for a Master" topic. When he wrote his application, the first day he received a reply from a player called SaZ, claiming that he is from Zødiac's country. They contacted each other, and thus, Zødiac began a new, fresh period of his game play.<br />
<br />
== First Period In The Jedi Academy ==<br />
*~''A Jedi, would naturally be patient, nice, respective, helpful''<br />
The first day at the Academy was very hard on him. The idea of leaving not only his old clan, but the friends, community and game play he got used to in the 1.00 version did a job on him. For him to connect to TJA servers, he had to update his client and enter a whole new world of severs and players, which was very new to him. Back then Zødiac at start was still known as Shen. The training with SaZ started immediately. Compared to King, SaZ's training took him into a whole new level. Training methods, tactics, movement, exercises. All this was very new to him. Eventually Zødiac was able to keep up. Only later he renamed himself to Zødiac, thus completing his transformation into the light. SaZ thought him how not to exploit, and to forget his past ways. Eventually, Zødiac was able to let go of everything he held dear in the old servers and became fond to the new ones, in other words, Zødiac adapted to the new system. Meanwhile, he started to show his first results in combat. His skills were growing very fast, as for his attitude, it begun to change. Zødiac lost his Pub-rat attitude, became patient, helpful, polite respective. He began his transformation to Jedi-hood. Not only Zødiac was active in the servers, but in the forums as well. He showed great enthusiasm and potential for a while. It didn’t take long for him to realize his dream on becoming a JAK. Zødiac completely forgot his old ways and found new friends that would help him stay that way. Zødiac disappeared for a week or so at the end of summer. When he returned, he had changed. Zødiacs skills went down a little, but it was allot for him. He could not stop in realizing that all his effort went down the drain in a week. This was the main reason why he suddenly changed his style into duals. Stupid, yet interesting move to make. He had to learn a completely different style from scratch. His master Saz was disappointed in him, for making such a drastic decision and tried to pull Zødiac back into the single Saber, yet he did not show any interest in single anymore. Something happened then, they’re relationship suddenly came to a stop. Meanwhile, Zødiac immediately started his dual training. Without having a dual master, learning duals was near impossible. He started to look around for people who might know something about duals. He spent his days in pubs looking for a master willing to teach him at least the basics. His skills were growing little by little, as he started to gather simple tips. He noticed that straight attacks with duals would usually end up by his own death. So he started to use his defense and learn how to counterattack, thus putting the main foundation to his style. He finally started to realize how duals work. A TJA member Cuthalion helped him in looking for a dual master, although in vain, but still it’s the thought that counts. Mainly, Zødiac started to show progress after he met Trey and he showed him the dual delay. After that, he started to addend to Dash'es classes. He noticed that yellow stance and duals are very similar, different, yet similar. He combined the knowledge of what he learned in class, and started using it with duals, thus making Zødiac's dual style a rare one indeed. After that, he started combine other knowledge of other styles and combine it with duals. Many things unlocked some of duals secrets, some of those things just were a waste of time and health on duals. Anyways, he started to get what is what and how to control his 2 sabers. After style combination, many long nights and thoughts, unfortunaly, little by little he started to come back into his old self before the academy. He started to exploit again, cheat with duals. But it was not for win or loses. He wanted to see the difference of clean and dirty fighting. Nobody knows how it happened, but he created his own twisted philosophy about the game, that he won’t be bounded by any unwritten rules, he started to think that if there are exploits, they are for a reason and there is no real reason for him not to use them. Though, the influence of the academy also had its toll. He also stated, that this doesn’t mean he will use those exploits, but nobody forbids him for using them. Exploits are there and nobody is going to change that. Sedith. According to Zødiac, a Sedith is neither a Jedi or a Sith. It’s a player that can play clean and exploit without any hesitation but also control itself. It’s not about clean or exploit fighting that defines a player, it’s the capability of controlling those 2 factions to your needs that shows the real strength of a fighter. His fighting style changed, though he rarely ever uses any exploits. At the very point he finished his philosophy, he met a guy named Icarus from a dual clan called Myth. He invited Zødiac to join his clan.<br />
<br />
== Second Period In The Jedi Academy ==<br />
Zødiac didn’t join the Myth clan. Apparently, the clan was at the edge of collapsing, and there weren’t so many good dualers out there anymore. He started to look for more masters/skilled players. It all ended up in a total waste of time. After 2-3 months. Zødiac came back to the academy. He started training immediately. Slowly, he started to improve again. He became known in the academy as the "Dualer". Actually he was the only active dualer around and also one of the rarest dualers ever. Even from the beginning, Zødiac showed that his style will have a very strong connection to the 2 sabers most powerful ability: defense. In other words, he became a passive dualer. Mostly dualers are known for their ability to pressure the opponent into doing mistakes, while his tactic involved much footwork than actual offensive fighting. He picked up many exercises, training methods to help improve himself. Eventually, after he red the KoP dual style, he wanted to write his own. More and more people started to join the academy. Allowing him to train more against various players. The time came, when he realized that he was at that point where he no longer needed any supervision or guidance from a master helping him master duals. He was at that point where he knew he can learn everything else by himself. After Zødiac got into tip-top shape, he took a padawan named w00p00. He later renamed into Ace Wile, but is known as Ace. Too bad he became inactive too soon, although, having real life issues he abandoned the game too. Somewhere at the end of the year, he came back. With his relationship with SaZ renewed, he enthusiastically started to improve his game play. He has nearly mastered his own game style, knows its weaknesses, advantages and mistakes. That was the main reason that powered him to train some more. Even though he lacked the control he had over duals in the first period, his skills in the second improved greatly and he was able to take on the better players. After near perfecting his passive game play, he decided to put some of aggressive game play into his style, thus making him stronger than ever.<br />
<br />
<br />
== The Third Period In The Jedi Academy ==<br />
The third period had a tremendous affect to Zødiac. Not only it took about 3 months, but it also was the most beneficial and important of them all. Mainly, his second period contained the time part from December to January. So the third period started right at that point when the winter holidays ended, and even tough Zødiac had to stop playing, he did not. He kept on training, exercising and improving himself. Ace has abandoned the game, Kaldør was nowhere in sight, the only true friend he had was SaZ, but he wasn’t too active as well. So Zødiac was technically alone again. Many new players came and went by; he started taking every dualer he saw as a trainee. His ambition to teach led him to give out tips, ways of improving to everybody who needed it. He was not sure why, but he felt he had to find or reform something out. A new player named Kain Sol entered the server, he started training him a little, giving tips, showing exercises. Later on he became Cuthalion’s padawan. After that, Zødiac still showed Kain Sol some new ways of training, awaiting his approval. And right after that, many new and old players started joining the servers. This led that Zødiac had people he could train with. His skills were growing, not as fast as before tough. He was practically at a stop of improving, because he didn’t know what to improve. After he met Sauce and got totally destroyed by him, he took his tips and advices. He did not use them well enough until later. He started looking for sparring partners because he realized that he will not improve if he will go the same full as before. He started losing more, but he tested out many things. Movement, attack ways, approaches. This led him to start creating his own Master Hood concept. It was mainly a way to define and simplify the whole training, to actually recognize whether you are good or not, and what you need to improve in. Zødiac’s skill suddenly started to grow again, and then the big changes began. In the middle of the third period, he took a new player called TuyeRe as his second padawan. In fact, all his padawans showed some abilities that he lacked. TuyeRe mainly used Hurricane aka Buzzsaw. TuyeRe showed the ability and the will to learn everything, tough in the end he left the game because of connection problems, Zødiac still trains him occasionally. DarkDaemiser was Zødiacs wanted pupil. Dark was a dualer when he came to the server. Zødiac trained him everything he had time for, but eventually in the end, when the time came to choose a master, he chosen Cuthalion over Zødiac. This led him to his second mental breakdown after the time he first took duals. He started to think that all he has ever known is useless, that he is a bad teacher, that all this training is all in vain; he will never beat the top ranked players with duals. This led him to stop every training activity and just be an annoying bitch over the servers. Eventually he learned that it will not change the fact, that he may not be a good teacher as he hoped he would be. That was the main reason why he started to keep all his ideas and tips to himself. Even though he might have not been, but he felt alone, misunderstood, used. This was also the catalyser that weakened his relationship with Cuthalion. He also thought that his skill was too low to actually be a master to anyone. This was the breakdown that eventually led Zødiac to become a more closed person, yet more serious. After that, Ace and Kaldør finally returned to the game. Ace has impressed Zødiac with his grown skill with duals. Ace has become more patient and eager to learn, tough do to Zødiac’s fault, he might have left the game again later. He did not have a lot of time to spend on padawan training because of real life problems and situations. This was also the main reason why he was late to reply to Solitude’s letter concerning the staff position. Zødiac applied for the staff, concerning himself with the holocron project. The return of Ace made Zødiac believe in himself again. The return of Kaldør meant the new era of the Grimclaw’s. They decided to keep the family tags on, even if the family only had 2 active members. So eventually, dead or not, the Grimclaws finally stood high and alive. Even though Kaldør left again, Zødiac still kept the tags on, as a promise to not let the family die. The time came when Zødiac was on his way to improvement once again. His timing, movement, accuracy stared to show up in many fights. He started to change names occasionally to stay incognito. At that time, Shogun, his good friend from the pubs has summoned him to join his JA+ clan. Having no exact reason why not joining, Zødiac joined the Knights of Darkness clan, which was later renamed to Jedi Exiles. He slowly started to rise up in the ranks there, and eventually the Jedi Exiles became his second home next to TJA. Although, JE might have been the main reason for Zødiacs upcoming relapses in the game. While playing base and JA+ at the same time, his skill has become unstable very hard to control. He had difficulties adapting himself very quickly in the base and JA+ envirourment. This led him to some relapses in the game, meaning like from nowhere he could lose all focus, skill and everything he had learned. Right after he joined Jedi Exiles, he started to notice that his skill was increasing in an interesting degree. He could beat players with his non-exploit style which other dual exploiter could not. This led him to think that it’s time to fill in his gaps and maybe join ESL. That’s why he started looking up 5 Dual Masters for personal 1 session training sessions. His intention was to get the answers to all questions he had left, and finally maybe take the mantle of a Dual Master. Although, after some time, his quest for perfection came to a sudden stop, because all the 5 Dualers instantly became inactive. In the Jedi Exiles clan, he met a guy named Legion Master, which was very eager to learn duals. Zødiac trialled him in many various ways, asking questions, getting to know him better. Eventually, in the end he was led to believe that Legion Master might be the one to surpass him, so he did not hesitate and promised him to take him as his padawan, as soon as he gets the rank in the clan to actually have one. The clans democracy did not allow him to have any padawans, or train anyone fully. This was a big problem. The week he met Legion had been also special for another reason. Zødiac had his biggest relapse ever. Although, when it ended, he was stronger than ever. It’s something after going to the gym. If you work too hard, you will strain yourself, but after you heal, you will be able to lift up higher weights. The same thing happened to him in the game. He started using the advices given to him by Sauce, which led to the fact that he sometimes totally dominated the whole duel server. The week after that is considered the closure week of the third period. Zødiac was promoted to staff, he immediately made Legion Master register and made him his official padawan. He released his Sedith Holocron, and in the end, he understood what he really needs to do to become a true Dual Master.<br />
<br />
== Sedith ==<br />
Its Zødiacs own philosophy based on the idea that there should not be such things as good and bad, but the ability to understand and control both sides brings humanity to perfection and that what makes a Sedith. Including his philosophy, he also mentioned that it includes a whole new system of training, master/padawan relationship changes and other stuff.<br />
<br />
== Padawans ==<br />
His first padawan was a player firstly known as w00p00, later he renamed himself to Ace Wile aka. Ace. At the end of the second period, he took a player called TuyeRe as his second padawan. Zødiac is more a theory guy, than an practical demonstration kind of guy. Although he tries to make as many demonstrations as he can. He invented his own methods of training, improovement and exercising yourself. Zødiac thinks that 2 padawans are enough, he doesnt plan on taking more, ever. Although he made an exection and took Legion Master as his third padawan. Another thing, just because he is considered a master to his students, he likes to consider himself as only an average-skilled player.<br />
<br />
== Families ==<br />
In the first period of the academy, Zødiac met a player named Kaldør. They formed a family called Grimclaw, which wasn’t a really big success. Kaldør left the game for a long time and Zødiac was the only one carrying the Grimclaw name, in order to pass it down, he had to train a player. Because of the circumstances, that rarely anybody wants to be thought in duals made the family die. Yet, things have been discussed, it has been decided that the Grimclaw's will never die as long as they both keep theyre tag's on. So eventualy it all happened that Kaldør and Zødiac are the 2 founding fathers of the family, the family that WILL NOT DIE.<br />
<br />
== Fighting Styles ==<br />
<br />
'''Single'''<br />
<br />
At first, Zødiac was a single saber user. He used hybrid style. He used red style ground and aerial attacks to pressure the opponent, then yellow counterattacks to make fast hits. He isn’t afraid to add some of the Sedith style he developed, meaning he can add some forbidden moves and tactics at any time. Although, his lack of instinct, carelessness got the better of him. Now his single skills are off-balance and very unstable, yet his yellow skills have improved greatly, but yet again, this doesn’t make him a good single user. <br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
'''Duals'''<br />
<br />
Dual style is also known as the Jar'Kai saber form. <br />
<br />
*~''In actuality, the use of Jar'Kai predates the invention of the lightsaber. With the two single blades, a wielder who could maintain a strong offense, as two blades could keep an opponent wondering which one to shift towards to defend against. One of the blades in the wielder's hands was used for attacking while the other one was used for defending, such as parrying, or for more offensive purposes. It is also useful against more than one user as one blade can only be in one place at one time. However, it is not without its weaknesses. A user of Jar'Kai who lost the offensive was at a disadvantage to a single hilt user, especially a powerful one. The use of two blades prevents the user from putting all his weight behind a defensive block, thus weakening one's defense considerably. A physically stronger opponent could simply batter a Jar'Kai user until their guard finally gave way and when using dual sabers. With two single blades, it is also harder to control as the non-dominate and dominate hands have to be used in unison. If not careful or trained properly the use of two lightsabers will only hinder your performance.''<br />
<br />
<br />
Firstly, Zødiac followed the KoP developed style of dual fighting. Later on he dropped that style and started to develop his own. After much struggle, he developed his passive dual style. He is also a user of a saber form called Form II: Makashi "Way of the Ysalamir" or "Contention Form". <br />
<br />
*~'' After Form I's proliferation as a lightsaber combat technique, Form II came about as a means of lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat. It was described as being very elegant, powerful, and requiring extreme precision, allowing the user to attack and defend with minimal effort, while his opponent tires himself out, often wielding the blade one-handed for greater range of movement and fluidity. The form relied on parries, thrusts, and small, precise cuts—as opposed to the blocking and slashing of the other forms. Form II countered sun djem, the goal of early Form I masters, by being well trained in prevention of disarming and weapon destruction.'' <br />
<br />
His main foundation to these styles is the from "Zero"<br />
<br />
*~''Form "Zero", while not an actual form of lightsaber combat per se but rather an ethical principle, was the idea that Jedi should know when to use their lightsaber and when to find an alternative means of solving a problem. This idea was defined by Jedi Master Yoda to address the need of the Jedi to restrain themselves when tempted to use "aggressive negotiations," and instead use another well-developed Jedi skill, such as the Jedi mind trick. This was a form used to arrive at a solution without resorting to violence.''<br />
<br />
Although, he tries to perfect his own style called the Sedith Dual Style. Involving defensive as well as aggressive game play. Nothing lasts forever, his fighting style keeps on chaning and improoving, so there is no actual description about his fighting style. Although, he is very determined, even when the situaion is hard, he doesnt like to give up. Hes always willing to listen, take tips and advices. He also is one of the rarest dualer types out there user: The Short Saber User. Instead of using both long sabers, he uses 2 vertically challenged sabers for offence as well as defense. This might sound crazy, but he thinks that that might be the purest form of duals ever. The short sabers are considered for training purposes ONLY.<br />
----<br />
'''Staff'''<br />
<br />
He knows the basics with staff, and could easily get out of trouble using it. He is also developing a new style called Stinger-Staff. It involves something similar to Staff+Single ,but he does not give much information about it. He uses simple attacks like advancing scissors and areal scissors to cut his opponent to oblivion.<br />
<br />
== The Look ==<br />
Zødiac is also known as the "Silver Guy". The skin he uses is a custom one, it deletes the textures the face and hands, leaving him only with his clothes. It looks like in a way he has been touched by the force, or you can see the force itself inside of him. This is a very rare skin model, and he doesn’t like sharing it. He likes to have a unique look. He also stated that it’s the official Sedith model. It represents his close connection to the force, as well as his attitude not to be known too well by anyone. That he would like to stay anonymous.<br />

organization=Unknown|<br />

padawans=[[Dane]], Damon Belouve, Devlin, O'liin, Syco| <br />
}}<br />
Tido started playing [[JK3]] in February, 2004. He joined the [[Jedi Academy|Academy]] on 25th, 2004, were he started out as a [[Jedi Academy Student|Student]] interested in learning more about the game. He uses a [[Single|Single Saber]], and has a [[Hybrid]] fighting style.<br />
<br />
===Padawanship to Wolfwood===<br />
Just a few weeks after joining the Academy, then [[Jedi Academy Knight]] [[Wolfwood]] noticed Tido struggling in the game and took him as a padawan. Tido began learning [[movement]] and [[red stance]] basics under Wolfwood's tutelage. The red influences traced back through Wolfwood from [[Monty]] to [[Shannon]] and [[Nofrikinfun]]. Apart from Wolfwood, early [[yellow stance]] influences came from [[Dante Valmont]], [[Virtue]], [[Luke Skywalker]], [[Leif]], and [[Jaiko D'Kana]]. Tido began primarily as a red stancer like most Academy students but kept a strong interest in learning yellow techniques. <br />
<br />
As time passed, Tido improved greatly under Wolfwood's instruction and from the influence of many Academy fighters. By the summer of 2004, he was noticed not only by the Academy staff but by fellow students as well. Tido was one of the most recommended knight prospects by his peers in the JA.<br />
<br />
===The American Hybrid===<br />
Departing from the [[purist]] styles of many great Academy fighters, Tido pursued [[hybrid]] styles that were evolving rapidly at the time and used by fighters like [[Leif]] and [[Viper]]. Trying to become efficient in both stances made learning a slower process and for awhile Tido had a hard time making significant gains as a fighter. He started dueling outside of the JA in the competitive [[BWN]] and began to sharpen up. For a short while Tido was an initiate in the [[WoV]] clan under [[Sauce]]. WoV didn't provide any instruction but did force Tido to fight against very tough fighters. Tido left WoV before being considered for membership after realizing he had differences of character with the often elitist clan. Sauce did have a large impact on Tido's abilities - especially in regards to red stance and [[saber accuracy|accuracy]].<br />
<br />
===Becoming a Knight===<br />
Because of his great attitude and skill, Tido was trailed and promoted to the rank of [[Jedi Academy Knight|Jedi Knight]] on August 31st, 2004. He was second in his [[batch]] just after [[Jaina D'kana]] and followed by [[Janus]] and [[3th]]. He immediately started helping as an assistant teacher and covered many classes at the Academy. <br />
<br />
Some of Tido's classes:<br />
<br />
http://www.thejediacademy.net/class_detail.php?f_id=530<br />
<br />
http://www.thejediacademy.net/class_detail.php?f_id=559<br />
<br />
As a Knight, Tido spent weeks trying to help dissolve the perceived status of being a [[Jedi Academy Padawan]] versus being a [[Jedi Academy Student]]. Not everyone agreed with his opinion that JAPs shouldn't enjoy any kind of elevated status, but it was finally [[Massadoobie]] who put many of Tido's ideas into effect and helped lessen the inexpedient feelings of many JA students.<br />
<br />
Tido also proposed an improved method of tracking troublesome members. Before, the JA kept a single forum thread in the upper-level [[forums|Academy Forums]] and dumped all reports of trouble in there. Problems were obvious when discussing multiple offenders and noticing repeat troublemakers. The simple solution was to create a new forum and let each offense have it's own thread. The JA still uses this system today.<br />
<br />
===The IRC Administrator===<br />
For much of the Academy's history, [[Aron]] wrote and ran the eggdrop bots that managed the official Academy [[IRC]] channels. Then Aron suddenly left the Academy and the bots left with him. The Academy channel had no way for [[Jedi Academy Knight|Knights]], [[Jedi Academy Trainer|Trainers]], or [[Jedi Academy Staff|Staff]] members to administrate the channel. To help out, Tido volunteered to learn eggdrops and the TCL scripting language to replace the functionality to the IRC chat room. After a few weeks of development, Tido created [[HK-47]] and [[C-3PO]] which were an admin bot and a statistics bot respectively. [[Jacen Aratan]] pitched in by writing an [[mIRC]] script that interfaced with HK-47. The two bots added security and special functionality such as server querying and entertaining channel statistics for months. <br />
<br />
===JA Radio===<br />
Another Tido project was [[Jedi Academy Radio|JA Radio]]: a live, high-quality audio stream for the community. Using an Icecast server hosted at the Academy website, JA "DJs" could log in and broadcast music or talk. DJ rotations and schedules were created and many members had a fun time sharing their music and laughs on the radio. A script for an IRC bot was created by Tido to show stream information in IRC. His Ice2 script is still the only eggdrop script for icecast available for download. While JA Radio was an interesting idea, the project never reached the scale that Tido hoped for. The radio was simply started too late and missed the height of activity of the Academy. Despite its shortcomings, it was and continues to be a great source of entertainment for Academy members.<br />
<br />
===The Jedi Academy Aurochs===<br />
Tido keeps himself in shape by competing in [[Team Free For All|TFFA]] matches against [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy|JK:JA]] clans under the green and white banner of [[Jedi Academy Aurochs|The Jedi Academy Aurochs]].<br />
He played a very big role in getting the Aurochs back on track in October 2004, after the Aurochs had fallen into inactivity because [[Jedi Academy Master|Jedi Master]] [[Jaiko D'Kana]], an [[Jedi Academy Trainer|Instructor]] back than, was unable to keep the Aurochs together because of real life and internet connection issues.<br />
<br />
In the previous generation of the Aurochs, Tido did a lot of work as the Aurochs Team Tech, and as the Administrator of the [http://aurochs.thejediacademy.net/forums/index.php Aurochs Website] and [http://archives.theaurochs.net/index.php/Main_Page Aurochs Wiki]. Issues with the [[JAC]]s concerning some of his projects and their scope strained the relationship between the [[Jedi Academy Aurochs]] and the [[Jedi Academy]]. His history made the [[JAC]]s rather reluctant to let him have any sort of access to the webserver. Tido's retirement statement and problems with the [[JAC]]s led to his ban from the [[Jedi Academy]]. The ban has been questioned by many currently.<br />
<br />
Now, Tido is totally unfilliated with the [[Jedi Academy Aurochs]] and intends to work on some projects <br />
he has put off before. He is considering joining [[Clan Master]]'s new TFFA team, which will be headed by [[Deqlyn]].<br />
<br />
===Miscellaneous Projects===<br />
<br />
Tido has done a lot for the Jedi Academy, some of the things he's worked on are:<br />
<br />
*JA Radio Show<br />
**Tido was the one that came up with the idea of creating a very own Radio Show for the Jedi Academy! He got people to sign up as DJ's, made a schedule of the times when the Radio Show would be on, and indicated what DJ would be playing what music. He no longer works on the Radio Show, but the Show is still going strong!<br />
*JA Map Project: USA Division<br />
**Tido made a Map where Jedi Academy Members that lived in the USA could place their name on, so that people could see where all those crazy Yankees actually lived. Others started making Maps for the European, Australian and Asian Members.<br />
*The Fall Open (Double Elimination Tournament)<br />
**Tido held a small Double Elimination Tournament, called 'The Fall Open', back in 2004 with both [[full-force|Full-Force]] and [[no-force|No-Force]] matches, that Members could sign up for. The winner of the Full-Force section of the Tournament was [[Gradius]], Sauce won the No-Force section.<br />
*JA Christmas Show<br />
**Tido thought it'd be fun to have JA Members make some Christmas tracks that would be played on the JA Radio. Multiple people entered submissions, and even though it wasn't exactly released during Christmas, everyone still got to hear the tracks! <br />

<br />
Ex-member and leader of the [[Jedi Academy Aurochs]], Jaiko has been at the Jedi Academy since August 15th 2003. Originally joining under the name of "Venom[JAS]". Jaiko D'Kana is currently a [[Jedi Academy Master]] at the [[Jedi Academy]]. He primarily uses a [[Single]] Saber [[yellow stance|Yellow Stance]] with great perfection and skill.<br />
<br />
Jaiko is commonly known for his ":)".<br />
<br />
Jaiko has also become somewhat of an inspiration and role model to many. His attitude change since he went by the name of "Venom[JAS]" has inspired many to look at people, the game and life in general in a much lighter and friendlier way. With skill, knowledge, patience and a love for all people, Jaiko is possibly a good definition of the word 'Friend'. <br />
<br />
He has grown throughout the ranks of the [[Jedi Academy]] with a refusal to accept his abilities. Too honest for his own good, Jaiko has gone from Student to Knight to Intructor and finally to Master maintaining his smile and heart. Jaiko was taken on by [[Jaina D'Kana]], it is assumed that this is because of the potential she saw in him to become a great Jedi. With training and time Jaiko became a smaller version of what he is to this day. With even more time he merely improved himself, taking on padawans, in the process, with precise aim. Just like Jaina he would not accept anyone who needed/wanted help, but choose the most potential candidates to receive his training. As cruel as this sounds it was not intended that way, he would choose only those with the right attitude and patience to match. <br />
<br />
His two padawans Illian D'Kana and Alexander D'Kana were taken in a long time space from each other, first was Illian and then Alexander. <br />
<br />
The D'Kana family was formed by a man known as (Eclipse D'Kana?), Jaiko entered this family via Jaina D'Kana. The intiation is not confirmed by merely becoming a padawan of a currently existing D'Kana; only once the padawan has proven themselves are they allowed to take the name D'Kana. Whilst many newer students strive to be a part of this family, there is nothing progressively to be gained, save from friendship and private training. The addition of Jaiko, his padawans and many others have made this family a very strong group. <br />
<br />
The 'Jai' in Jaiko stands for Jedi. <br />

Kenshin_Mintaka is a [[Jedi Academy Student]] at the [[Jedi Academy]]. Kenshin joined The Jedi Academy after the creation of the current clan he is in [[Reclamation of Honor]] in hopes of becoming a stronger, wiser, and better leader for his clan.<br />
<br />
Kenshin grew fond of [[Setementor]] a Jedi Instructor at The Academy. [[Setementor]] answered all of his questions and helped him out whenever he needed it, and still does it to this day.<br />
<br />
Kenshin only signed up for classes taught by [[Setementor]] and [[Virtue]], and this also remains true. Kenshin is a tad less active today because he is focusing on his Clan that he loves so very much, and his personal life.<br />
<br />
Kenshin Mintaka is currently a student of [[The Jedi Academy]] and a Jedi Council member of [[Reclamation of Honor]].<br />

<div>[[Image:shot0009_b.jpg|thumb|200pix|A Jedi holding a [[Single]] Saber in Red Stance position]]<br />
Red stance, also known as strong stance, is a single lightsaber style that uses powerful swings with great range and large windup and follow-through. Up to 3 attacks can be performed in a row in red stance.<br />
<br />
Many tend to shy away from this style when first beginning the game. Its slow swing speed is a bit tricky to Master. It would be wise to have a good understanding of blade timing and [[movement]] before venturing into this form.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Moves==<br />
===Kata===<br />
[[Image:Red_Kata.JPG|thumb|left|200pix|A Jedi performing a kata in red stance.]]A Kata is performed by pressing '''[[primary fire]] and [[secondary fire]]''' simultaneously. The Red stance kata involves a few hard swings where the jedi twirls the saber behind his back, followed by a powerful downward swing. The jedi is moving during the kata, making it harder to counter-attack him. The kata is very powerful at close range, but can be avoided if seen in time.<br />
*Cost: 50 [[Force Point]]s<br />

<br />
===DFA===<br />
[[Image:Red_DFA.JPG|thumb|left|200pix|A Jedi performing an rdfa.]]<br />
<br />
<br />
The red special move, popularly known as the RDFA or "red death from above", is rarely used effectively in online play. It is achieved by pressing '''forward, jump, and primary fire''' simultaneously, and can be incorporated into a [[combination]] at the same places a forward swing can be. The move involves the jedi leaping forward and unleashing an extremely powerful and unblockable downward swing. Because of the range of the rdfa and the need for perfect timing, it is not used very often on purpose. However, many times fighters will inadvertantly perform an rdfa during a red stance combo when trying to jump forward and attack while in mid-air. <br />

The E-11 Blast Rifle is the standard weapon for Imperial Stormtroopers, and are seen a lot in the Original Star Wars Trilogy movies.<br />
<br />
The E-11 Blaster Rifle is the only weapon the [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]] that uses [[Blaster Pack]]s, and fires red laser blasts.<br />
<br />
==Primary Fire==<br />
<br />
In [[primary fire]], the E-11 Blaster Rifle shoots single blasts with a pretty high accuracy, and dealing moderate damage.<br />
<br />
==Secondary Fire==<br />
<br />
The E-11 fires much faster in [[secondary fire]] than it does in primary fire, but this goes at the expense of it's accuracy, and a small decrease in damage per shot.<br />

{{quote|Pwned.|JK13}}<br />
<br />
<br />
JK13 is a [[Staff]] saberist who has been playing Jedi Knight games for nearly 4 years. A former [[Jedi Academy Trainer|JAT]] and current member of [[Jedi Academy Aurochs|The Jedi Academy Aurochs]], he is acknowledged as a skilled staff user who is intensely competitive but always friendly and happy to train others.<br />
<br />
===JediKnight13===<br />
<br />
JK13 started playing [[Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]] before the [[The Jedi Academy]] opened. Seeing a thread about a school for JK2, and thinking he would like to contribute to the school, he applied to become a [[Jedi Academy Trainer]] thinking he would fail the trial, but be taken as a student (considering applications to become students were closed). His plan backfired, and JK13 became a [[Jedi Academy Trainer|JAT]]. JK13 taught [[blue stance]] and some simple [[red stance]] combos for several months before becoming inactive.<br />
<br />
===Next Phase of Activity===<br />
<br />
After JK13 came back from being inactive, he found himself demoted to [[Jedi Academy Student|Student]]. Since his last activity, JK2 had been patched from v 1.03 to verson 1.04. This patch changed the saber system drastically, removing [[Lightsaber Throw|saber throw]] and aerial lunge moves from duels and heavily [[nerf|nerfing]] the backstab and backslash maneuvers. JK13 was crushed, his saber style was completely destroyed. Realizing he had to rebuild his style and learn new tactics in stances he rarely ever used, JK13 annoyed anyone he could find to teach him new tactics.<br />
<br />
===Padawan to [[Luke Skywalker]]===<br />
<br />
One such annoyed person was [[Jedi Academy Master]], then [[Jedi Academy Trainer]], [[Luke Skywalker]]. Finally breaking down and taking time to train a noobish JK13, Luke taught JK13 the foundation skills of his style, the [[Yellow stance|Yellow]] Scissors, advancing scissors and diagonal swipes. JK13 improved drastically in the weeks following this training and had a new style, new direction, and new skill set. Quickly finding that his Dialup internet was too slow and laggy to be competitive at Jedi Outcast, JK13 gave up the game to have more time in his RL.<br />
<br />
===Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy===<br />
<br />
Soon though, a new game was relased, [[Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy]], and JK13 was back to see the new game in action. After playing the demo JK13 was hooked on the Star Wars action once more, rejoining The Academy again in the new game. JK13 had fun trying out the new staff saber in The Jedi Academy. However, soon the games would take a back seat to real life for a while and JK13 became inactive once again for a span of several months.<br />
<br />
===Return of JK13!===<br />
<br />
Eventually JK13 returned to his staffing ways, joining the JA server seemingly out of nowhere. Finding the place completely changed, JK13 felt strange. Not knowing anyone in the JA was a real oddity to him. Attempting to raise his skill with staff saber and make new friends at the same time, JK13 soon befriended players such as [[Dane]], [[Tido]], and [[Sauce]]. JK13 also began to learn important skills as he attended JA classes and practiced his tactics under the tutelage of various players. Eventually JK13 went to [[Pick Up Game|PUG]] tffa with some of his friends from the JA and from this learned an appreciation for servers other than those belonging to The Jedi Academy. From his experience on pug servers and his other favorite pasttime, watching training demos of more skilled players, JK13 began to develop new and more radical tactics to use in his fighting repertoire, including his style of changing lightsaber stances in the middle of a swing, a tactic he learned from watching the wildly popular Austrian player, [[eviLwindu]]. His new tactics, combined with strengthening movement skills and a patient demeanor, earned JK13 a roster slot on [[Jedi Academy Aurochs|The Jedi Academy Aurochs]], the competitive fighting team which represents The Jedi Academy.<br />
<br />
===Last Hurrah===<br />
<br />
Recently JK13 has been playing too much World of Warcraft, but after achieveing the feat of leveling 2 characters to level 60, JK13 returned to Jedi Academy for a final tour of duty with the JAA. After rideing one last glorious time with the Aurochs JK13 felt an extreme sense of closeness and comradery with his teammates.<br />
<br />
===Retirement===<br />
<br />
Finally, after 5 long years, taking into account the retirement of his generation of the Aurochs, JK13 has decided to end his long and illustrious run in JK:JA with a final retirement:<br />

<br />
A [[Jedi Academy]] member since 2002, formerly a [[Jedi Academy Knight]] before the [[purge]]. Trifounder of the [[JASE]]. Known also as Jedi_Pimp, or just JP. JP became a knight on Dec 29, 2004.<br />
<br />
Former Padawan of Datheus, Nightcrawl2r, and NoFrikinfun.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Back in the Day ==<br />
<br />
When JP first started his career in the Jedi Knight series playing the demo of Jedi Knight 1 in the MSN Gamezone with his best friend, Jedi_Money. They both picked up Jedi Knight:Jedi Outcast and continued to play on the Gamezone where they both played without a mouse, and on a 56k connection (dont missed that...). While searching for information about the game and its moves JP stumbled onto http://www.jediknightii.net. There he downloaded the "The Jedi Academy " map v1. He found out it was the official map of a www.academy.jediknightii.net. He then submitted an application and about a month later (DJ was slow back then) he joined The Academy, profile id#690. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Early Days in the Academy ==<br />
<br />
Back in October of 2003, JP logged onto the Jedi Academy server for the first time. JP recalls, ''"I can still remember the 1st time I logged on to jk2home. I spent about 5 minutes just picking a skin, finally picked a Kyle skin in a black ninja-like suit. I renamed myself "BackInBlack" and hoped on. I remember walking into the Matrix room and stopping in awe and i saw two jedi fighting on the mat. One of them being Datheus, I remember him winning fairly effortlessly and waiting to learn to play as he did."'' JP later asked Datheus to teach him and became his padawan. He trained under Datheus for a short time before Datheus went MIA. It was then he met the master behind his base of skills. The man, the myth, the legend, [[Nightcrawl2r]]. Nighty's Earth, Wind and Fire class was the basis for JP's skills. Nighty was also a behavioral role model for JP being the one who personified what a Jedi Knight should be. Skilled, polite, patient, and giving.<br />
<br />
== Birth of the JASE ==<br />
<br />
One of the Tri-founders of the [[JASE]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Road to Knighthood ==<br />
<br />
JP started playin Jedi Knight:Jedi Academy during an illegal hax version of the alpha where he started as a dualist. He quickly saw how the dual and staff took away from the true jedi feeling and went back to the his true abilities with the single saber. <br />
<br />
JP with the help of NoFrikinfun start a mapping project which eventually became the Jedi Academy maps, after the project was ninja'd by Virtue and FaDed (for the best obviously). <br />
<br />
After going AFK from the JK3 series due to un-interest JP returned to the JA prior to the release of the Orginal Trilogy release. He came back to a server full with students and knights he had no knowledge of. That is how he eventually became friends with [[Tido]]. Its a long story which Tido can add if he cares. Needless to say, they became friends in a VERY unorodox way. When he was nominated for knight his newly found friend Tido, his long time mate Virtue along with Motrec, and Janus helped him train for his knight trials. Tido with his core abilities of Hybrid dueling, Virtue with his yellow style, Full Force Light side and guns work, Motrec with his Dual saber skills and Janus with his Staff skills. JP had a dream team of teachers and still failed his first test due to rushing into it. He wasnt ready for the trials he had to go thru due to the fact that it was the hardest test of skill you will ever come by. On top of that he killed the head of the trial by accident mid conversation with a sniper rifle and got destroyed by Leif and Tido in his duels. JP's second trial came months later hours of training. He then passed that trial and attained the rank of Jedi Knight.<br />
<br />
He played for three or four months before again going MIA and was demoted during the [[purge]].<br />
<br />
== Days Away ==<br />
<br />
Jedi_Prodigy would be MIA although still actively checking the forums for about two years. Through that time he was have times of relapse spending brief periods of time playing JK3. Especially prior to the JA Las Vegas meeting in 2005 (Where he met with [[Virtue]], [[Darth-Mobility]], and Lord Romulas). During that period of time JP and his wingman [[Cloakedthunder]] were a two man wrecking crew in games like Planetside, America's Army (Formed Deafenin Silence), The Matrix Online, Battlefield 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and finally World of Warcraft.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Triumphant Return ==<br />
<br />
Jedi_Pimp would return again in May of 2007 prior to Celebration IV where he met with [[Darth-Mobility]], [[Darth Sirius]], and [[Jade Jedi]] (Pictures can be found here http://www.lovetree27.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2715&g2_page=1). JP is now fully active in JK2 and the Moviebattles community. He has put JK3 to his past as playing JK2 again has shown him how much of a superior saber system the game includes.</div>Hardwiredhttp://archives.thejediacademy.net/index.php?title=Virtue&diff=3861Virtue2008-03-24T00:31:48Z<p>Hardwired: Reverted edit of Deqlyn, changed back to last version by Vegeta668</p>

<div>Introduction<br />
Lugormod U# is a server-side mod for Jedi Academy. It brings in a player account and profession system to allow for a more lively world than just a slaughter free for all game.<br />
This guide will help a new player to lugormod join a server and start playing. It will explain the basics of the accounts and professions, and detail how to play the new gametypes. It will also point out usefull commands for the player to know.<br />
<br />
Getting started<br />
To begin your ventures in a lugormod server, you must first create an account. This is done using the "register" command. First choose a username, then a password. Enter them into the server using<br />
/register <username> <password><br />
Server administrators cannot see what password you use, but they can change it for you later on if you forget. Generally the server owner cannot see your password, but there are cases where they may be able to find out what it is, so it is best to not use the same password you use for anything else.<br />
<br />
After you register, you will be asked to log in to your account. This is done by using<br />
/login <username> <password><br />
<br />
You will then get a message saying how long your account will stay for.<br />
To prevent lots of unused accounts from building up, the mod will delete accounts that have been inactive for a certain period of time. The higher level your account is, the longer it will be kept. For every level you achieve, your account will be kept for 7 days longer from your last login, with a max of 70 days. As long as you often join the server and log in to your account, you should have no trouble. Accounts that were removed due to inactivity cannot be regained.<br />
<br />
There are a few basic commands that should be known at this point. To change your password, use "/chpasswd <new password>". To list your level, time played, credits, and other status, use "/stats" (not "/status").<br />
<br />
<br />
Selecting a profession<br />
You may now gain credits to level up, but leveling up will not do you any good without a profession to gain skills with. Check your available professions with the command:<br />
/professions<br />
Currently, the professions you can choose from are Jedi/Sith and Merc. Each profession gains you access to unique skills, up to level 5 in each skill. Each level you gain will increase your skill points available. To buy a level, use "/buylevel". The price required to level up will increase per each level, but will decrease the longer you wait.<br />
Each skill takes up more skill points as its level increases. To first gain a skill it costs 1 point, to get it to level 2 it takes 2 points, and on.<br />
<br />
Jedi profession<br />
The Jedi/Sith profession lets you level up your forcepowers (each one can go up to level 5). Once you choose a dark or light side power, you will be unable to choose powers from the other side.<br />
A jedi uses force sense to find the money stash.<br />
<br />
Merc profession<br />
The Merc profession lets you hold and use weapons. For each base level you get as a merc, the higher your max health and armor will become.<br />
A merc uses their binoculars to find the money stash.<br />
The skills for a merc are:<br />
Starting Weapon: what weapon you start with. The weapons in order from level 0 to 5 are: bryar pistol, blaster, bowcaster, disruptor, flechette, and repeater.<br />
Jetpack Fuel: This affects how much fuel your jetpack has.<br />
Weapon Grip: This skill will allow you to hold your weapon from being pulled out of your hands by force pull. It also lessen the chances of you being knocked over by force pull.<br />
Ysalamiri Blast: If you pick up a ysalamiri, you will be able to use it as an offensive weapon. Once you pick up a ysalamiri, you can use the duel challenge key or the the "/ysalamiri" console command to activate the ysalamiri. How long it lasts depends on the level of the ysalamiri blast skill. If the skill is level 3 or above, then you will send a brust of the force-countering energy into whoever is nearby. The higher the skill, the larger the range and the longer the effect will last.<br />
Ammo Hold: The higher this skill, the more ammo you can hold.<br />
Stash Range: This allows you to use your binocular items to find money stashes (more on that later). The higher the skill, the longer range of detection it has.<br />
Martial Arts: This skill affects how much damage your melee attacks do. If you get this skill to 3 or higher, then you will be able to use the special grapple moves and kicks.<br />
Starting Armor: This controls how much armor you get when you spawn. The higher the skill, the larger precent of armor you spawn with.<br />
<br />
Credits<br />
Credits are the monetary unit used in lugormod. With credits you can buy more levels, pay other players, or purchase goods and services on the map.<br />
To view how many credits you have, use the console command "/credits". You can pay credits to other people and certain terminals by standing close to them, aiming at them, and using the command "/pay <amount>".<br />
Depending on the server settings, you may have already started with some credits. However, eventually you will need to gain credits on your own.<br />
<br />
The primary method of gaining credits is the money stash, which looks like a datapad (a small blue pda). The server should have set up money stash spawnpoints on the map as well as one or more "banks". The objective is to capture the money stash and deposit it at the bank. To capture the money stash, just walk over it. To deposit the stash, hold the use key while facing the controls on the bank. The time it takes to deposit the stash is normally 15 seconds, but the server may change it. Traditionally, you should do every thing you can to gain and deposit the stash, although some servers tend to have a "no killing" policy when competing for the stash. Check the rules of the server.<br />
Normally, the amount of money the stash yields and how often it spawns depends on how many players are in the game. Plans are in place to let the server affect the yield and spawn rate of the stash, however.<br />
The stash will normally attempt to spawn every 60 seconds, plus a random 10 seconds. If it spawns or not depends on the number of players, and a random number between 0 and 3 compared against the number of banks on the map. The spawn check can be changed by server cvar, though.<br />
<br />
General concepts<br />
<br />
Chat modes<br />
Your team chat will act in different ways depending on what your chat mode is. Currently the chat mode toggle is not in place yet, so the modes will be fixed based on your account status.<br />
Unregistered: team chat (does nothing)<br />
Registered: buddy/friend chat<br />
Admin: admin chat<br />
<br />
Buddies and Friends<br />
In lugormod, you can add players as buddies using the "/buddies" command. When someone is in your buddy list, then they can hear you when you talk using buddy chat. They will also be affected by your team heal or team empower forcepowers, and will be able to walk through your forcefields and not be shot at by your sentries and seekers.<br />
To add a buddy, use "/buddies <name of player". Once you add them, use the same command to remove them. Buddies are temporary and will not save across map restarts and logouts.<br />
<br />
Friends are like buddies, but even more so. Adding a player to your friends list will have the same effect as a buddy, but they will stay even when you log out. When the message system is added in, only players you have added as friends will be able to send you messages.<br />
<br />
Weapon changes<br />
Depending on the server settings, the stun baton and the bryar pistol might have different usages.<br />
<br />
The stun baton can be set to act like a grappeling hook. Use alt fire to fire the hook, and when swinging, use primary fire to releace and rehook onto the surface you are aiming at (if it is within range). alt fire will releace the hook again.<br />
<br />
The bryar pistol can act as a "teleport gun". Holding alt fire will charge up to launch the telegem (a green gem). hitting primary fire will teleport you (if there is room) to the gem. The gem does have a time limit, and will dissapear if not used in 20 minutes.<br />

<br />
Mod Information<br />
[Mod Guidelines]<br />
After every 'stable' version, the mod number will be incremented (U1, U2, U3, et al).<br />
The original lugormod data formats will be changed to a generic format that will be able to accept changes to the data without changing the file format and compatibility.<br />
command-line based converters (and their source code, if they are needed in linux) will be supplied for format changes if the mod cannot convert it on its own.<br />
No more than 3 weeks (28 days) will go by without a release (this is a heavily stressed 'guideline', I will strive to follow it when I can, but no guarantees.<br />
<br />
<br />
[Data]<br />
All server data is stored in the folder<br />
"data/<datapath>"<br />
where <datapath> is the cvar lmd_DataPath, which defaults to "default"<br />
All data files will eventually follow a "key: value" format.<br />
<br />
[Accounts]<br />
Format will be:<br />
<key>: <value><br />
for example:<br />
Quote:<br />
<br />
name: ^2Phred<br />
lastIP: localhost<br />
id: 1 //this is only for internal use by the server. Players will login using their username (the name of the file)<br />
password: 0xabcdef //password chksum in hex. Support for text-based passwords included, password will convert to chksum hex when first read in.<br />
lastLogin: 2007310 //format: year, then days since jan 1<br />
credits: 10<br />
profession: 3 //0: none, 1: admin powers, 2: bot, 3: jedi, 4: merc<br />

//specs are extra data for professions or general settings<br />
spec_jedi_side: 1 //force side: 0 neutral, 1 light, 2 dark. Changing this when it is already set will let a player select that side regardless of what side powers they have. Setting it to 0 will let a player select both, but it will automaticly switch to the side of the next sided (non-neutral) power the player selects.<br />
<br />
RandomScriptKey: RandomValue<br />
<br />
Any unrecognised keys will still be stored, for use in jscript. This lets you define your own variables instead of relying on generic variables<br />
<br />
Note that number values that are 0 or text values that are not set will not be saved to the accounts.<br />
<br />
Currently, there is only enough room in the quake3 file scan buffer for roughly 2048 accounts (probably more, depending on the size of the file names). If the improbable occures and you need more than this, let me know and I can remake the code to not use the quake3 file scan functions and use the basic OS functions.<br />
<br />
[New Commands]<br />
Admin commands<br />
delent <entity index><br />
Deletes the specified entity.<br />
<br />
usetarg [targetname]<br />
Use all entities with the specified targetname. If no targetname is set, then the 'target' of the entity being aimed at will be used (if available).<br />
<br />
nudge [entity number] <x y z><br />
Push the entity in the specified direction. If no entity number specified, the entity being targeted will be moved.<br />
This will modify the origin spawnstring key, so the affect will be saved on entities that have an origin specified in their spawnstring. It is safe to use on doors and other 2 stage movers (it will be useless or screw up on multi-stage movers, like func_train).<br />
<br />
Player commands<br />
register <username> <password><br />
Register your username and password on the server. This replaced the old regnick command.<br />
<br />
interact [command]<br />
General interaction. Works with lmd_pwterminal and lmd_terminal entities.<br />
<br />
[New entities]<br />
<br />
lmd_remap<br />
Change a texture on the map. Use of this will greatly increase the connection time to anyone joining after the remap took place. Make sure to increase the connection timeout cvar before using this.<br />
Quake 3 uses 'shaders', which are basicly textures with additional information. You can try to remak a shader by using the texture name, but it is best to remap it using its shader name. Shader names are stored INSIDE the .shader files, and are not the shader files themselvs. I might eventally finish my pk3 scanner and release it for easy finding of shaders.<br />
<br />
Give this entity a targetname to activate it. If no targetname is given, then the entity will activate the moment it is spawned.<br />
<br />
Spawnflags<br />
1: if set, using this toggles the remap on and off. Otherwise using it will just turn it on, even if it already was. Leave this off if you plan on using multiple remaps for the same textures.<br />
<br />
Keys<br />
old: old shader to replace<br />
new: new shader<br />
<br />
lmd_light<br />
This entity lights up an area with the specified colors. It can be toggled on and off, and can use different light and intensity values for each stage. It starts in the 'on' state<br />
Keys<br />
"light": the intensity of light when turned on.<br />
"color": the colors in decmal form (0 to 1, 0.5 would be 50%) for the precent of the color to display. The value should be the red, green, and blue values (in that order) with spaces. Ex: "colors,0 0.3 0" would be a dark green, "colors,1 0 1" would be bright yellow.<br />
<br />
"offlight": the intensity of light when turned off<br />
"offcolor": the colors when turned off, follows the same rules as "colors"<br />
<br />
lmd_gravity<br />
Sets gravity on the entire server, or on an individual player.<br />
Spawnflags<br />
2: gravity change will be global (if no set, the change will only affect one player).<br />
Keys<br />
"count": the gravity to set. The default is 800, but the map might change it.<br />
<br />
lmd_toggle<br />
Uses the targets in order, then repeats<br />
Keys<br />
count: the number of targets you are using. If this is less than 2, the entity will not spawn, as it will have no purpose.<br />
<br />
target:<br />
target2:<br />
...<br />
target6:<br />
Targets 1 though 6 are usable for the toggle. Set the 'count' key to the max number of targets (if you use up to target3, then set 'count' to 3.<br />
<br />
lmd_mover<br />
This is what ravensoft should have done in the first place. It allows you to make use of any combination of movement patterns.<br />
Some basic info: Quake 3 uses a movement system that is the same for both angles and origin. The system has the following values:<br />
<br />
base: fixed origin/angles, where the movement is calculated from<br />
<br />
delta: movement/rotation offset. This is a vector, and needs the x, y, and z values specified (like mins/maxs/origin and others). This is the origin/angles the entity should be at once 'duration' completes.<br />
<br />
duration: time offset. This may repeat if the right movement type is set. This is in miliseconds (1000 of these are 1 second).<br />
<br />
type: movement type, explained later.<br />
<br />
The mover entity lets you modify each of these values (save for 'base', which is automaticaly set to the origin or angles) for both movement and rotations, at each position.<br />
<br />
Movement types are:<br />
0: TR_STATIONARY. Don't move at all<br />
<br />
1: TR_INTERPOLATE. Teleport between start and end<br />
<br />
2: TR_LINEAR. Move without acceleration twards the goal. When the goal is reached, keep moving/rotating forever. This is stupid to place on the movement, but sane to use on the rotation.<br />
<br />
3: TR_LINEAR_STOP. Move without acceleration twards the goal. Stop when the goal is reached.<br />
<br />
4: TR_NONLINEAR_STOP. Accelerate while moving twards the goal, and decelerate and stop when it arrives at the goal.<br />
<br />
5: TR_SINE. Move like a sine wave (func_bobbing and func_pendulum uses this)<br />
<br />
6: TR_GRAVITY. Fall downwards, accelerating at 800 units per second. This ignores the cvar g_gravity, and always uses 800 (this would need a client side plugin to fix properly). Movement ignores all solid objects, so it will fall though the floor. Best not to use this.<br />
<br />
Keys<br />
Uses standard mins/maxs/model keys.<br />
<br />
ondelta: movement offset when toggled 'on'<br />
offdelta: movement offset when toggled 'off'<br />
onadelta: rotation offset when toggled 'on'<br />
offadelta: rotation offset when toggled 'off'<br />
<br />
onduration: movement duration when toggled 'on'<br />
offduration: movement duration when toggled 'off'<br />
onaduration: rotation duration when toggled 'on'<br />
offaduration: rotation duration when toggled 'off'<br />
ontype: movement type when toggled 'on'<br />
offtype: movement type when toggled 'off'<br />
onatype: rotation type when toggled 'on'<br />
offatype: rotation type when toggled 'off'<br />
<br />
Examples<br />
A rotating object that rotates once every 2 seconds and can be toggled, Starts on:<br />
onatype: 2<br />
onaduration: 1000<br />
onadelta: 0 180 0<br />
<br />
A door that moves 100 units up in 2.5 seconds. Assume that the door was spawned at location '0 0 0'<br />
ontype: 3<br />
ondelta: 0 0 100 //You will need to make this the door origin, with the z value increased by 100<br />
onduration: 2500<br />
<br />
An object that rotates once every 2 seconds when 'on', and bobbs up and down 30 units every second when 'off'. Starts off:<br />
onatype: 2<br />
onaduration: 1000<br />
onadelta: 0 180 0<br />
offtype: 5<br />
offdelta: 0 0 30<br />
offtime: 1000<br />
<br />
lmd_body<br />
Basically the same fake body as left behind by the misc_camera. The player that activates this will get a fake body left behind with their model and team settings. Damage to this fake body will be forwarded to the player. This entity will NOT move the player, so unless a target_teleporter or such is used at the same time (perferably under the same targetname), then the player will be stuck inside the fake body and will not be able to move.<br />
You might need a target_delay with 0.01 wait time (1 game frame) for the teleporter, otherwise the entity might be triggered after the teleport and the fake body will appear in the teleport dest with the player.<br />
When the entity is used again (by any player or entity), the body is removed. The player that first used it is not teleported, but left wherever they are.<br />
<br />
lmd_pwterminal<br />
Player must know the right password to use this.<br />
Passwored is entered though the player command "/interact"<br />
<br />
Keys<br />
Uses standard mins/maxs/model keys.<br />
<br />
message: This string will be displayed when the player uses the terminal, in addition to instructions how to use it.<br />
target: target to fire when pass is right<br />
target2: target to fire when pass is wrong<br />
target3: the password<br />
target4: fired whenever it recieves a password.<br />
<br />
lmd_door<br />
Moving model that will act as a door.<br />
A door without a targetname will automatically spawn a "trigger_door" entity to open itself when a player comes near. With a targetname, it will not do this. If you still want the targetname for activate/deactivate and also want it to open when a player comes near, manually spawn a trigger_multiple in place of the trigger_door.<br />
The "trigger_door" will get its mins/maxs from the longest x or y size of the hitbox increased by 120, and will take the z of all the way to the top.<br />
<br />
Spawnflags<br />
2: Can be activated by a force push or pull.<br />
4: Do not stop reverse direction if a player is in the way, keep trying to push through them.<br />

[Auth system]<br />
The limit on admin levels has been removed, so the max level you can use is 16777216, only because the memory value that stores admin levels cannot store numbers higher than that. This is probably fine, as the game can only read in 2048 accounts currently.<br />

<hr />
<div>The wall run is a movement techinique that is fairly simple to do. It can be used in most [[Gametype|gametypes]] to move around the map a little quicker. It comes in two forms, horizontal and vertical.<br />
<br />
== Vertical ==<br />
To do the vertical wall run, first you must have a flat wall at a 90 degree angle with the ground. Then you simply run towards the wall, and when you are right next to it, tap the jump button twice, still holding the up button. It is important not to hold the jump button, if you jump too high you will do a [[Wall Grab]] instead. After you have started running up the wall, you can either hold the up button until your player automatically jumps off the wall, let go of the up button early to make your player jump off sooner, or tap the jump button, which will make your player jump off the wall a little bit farther.<br />
*This type of wall run can be used to reach higher places than you could with a regular [[jump]]. It comes in especially handy in maps with multiple levels, as you can get to the place you want to go much quicker.<br />
<br />
== Horizontal ==<br />
To do the horizontal wall run, you must be running forward, parallel to a flat wall that is at a 90 degree angle to the ground. Then you push and hold the corresponding left or right key. (e.g.) If the wall is to the right of you, push the right key. At the same time, you tap the jump button. You should also keep holding forward. Your player should run up the wall in a matrix style move and then come back<br />
down. You can make your player jump off early by tapping the jump button.<br />

Hailing in from a small village near of Vienna in Austria, Laziana joined the Jedi Academy on October 8th 2006. After meeting several people and attending some classes it was clear for him (yes, he is male, just plays a female character in game) that he had found a place where people are nice and are really worth to spend time with.<br />
<br />
On February 28th 2007, [[Dash Starlight]] took Laziana under his wing as [[Padawan]].<br />
<br />
Laziana uses a single saber and follows the way of the [[Yellow stance]].<br />

You are not allowed to recruit on Jedi Academy areas. What makes you think the archives is an exception?<br />

<div>On February 19th, a band of exiles from the CoF Clan created the Reclamation of Honor. They bestow the tags of RoH. RoH Clan represents and upholds the Core Values: Honor, Respect, Honesty, Humility, Virtue, and Family.<br />
<br />
Deeper then that Reclamation of Honor was started as the old clan's foundation started to crumble, and Kenshin was exiled out. Kito, a friend of Kenshin's from the old clan, went with Kenshin. Dusk Thanatos also came; however, he rejoined the old clan, which he later left after RoH was started and well on its way.<br />
<br />
Reclamation of Honor means simply reclaiming honor. We the founders and members have honor, this is a regain of honor and stability of the old clan.<br />
<br />
Reclamation of Honor is a true online family. We are there for one another, through thick and thin. And we will reclaim the lost honor. <br />
<br />
==Current Stats==<br />
'''Number of Active Members:''' 8 (March 28th, 2007)<br/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Kenshin and Kito started the Reclamation of Honor on February 19th 2007. They set out to create a clan in the image of what the old clan was supposed to be, and so it began.<br />

<div>[[Tido]]: Remember, this is a wiki, so when you write your clan's bio, be prepared to have the community give their perspective on it as well. Anyone can change this page! (Just remove this when you see it)<br />
::[[Nano]]: Yeah, thanks. It might take a while until we add everything o.O<br />
<br />
== Recent edit ==<br />
Quite a massive delete of data. Was the written text not correct in nature?<br />

<div>== From the Ashes ==<br />
Ok, with most of my projects in the JA underway hardwired and myself will be turning our efforts onto the Archives and have a range of ideas instore. We thank all those involved in the creation of the archives and will envdevor to ensure that their efforts were not in vain. It just goes to show what a truly amazing community this is :)<br />
<br />
== Moving the Archives ==<br />
<br />
In all honestly, theaurochs.net isn't a proper place for the Archives to live. It needs to be under the umbrella of a major JK3 community. That would basically mean either JK3Files.com or The Jedi Academy. Discuss!<br />

== DJ Sith offers hosting @ The Academy ==<br />
<br />
DJ Sith has agreed to let the Archives be hosted by the Academy @ http://archives.thejediacademy.net. This really is a good move for the Archives because it connects us directly to a major hub of activity for jk3. Also, the JA is 'the place for Jedi learning' and now the Archives will be right in the middle of that.<br />

Good luck, Jaiko! The Archives are in your hands! Don't let everyone's efforts go to waste.<br />

==New Layout==<br />
<br />
New layout maybe indeed require some getting used to, but is MUCH more user friendly, especially for newer people than the previous one, and that's what a Wiki needs to be. I'll see what I can do about the image.<br />
<br />
===New Layout 2===<br />
<br />
Re-added picture, not a big fan since you need to scroll down to see everything, but I'll live with it.<br />
<br />
Yea, that is true. I just feel as though that picture fits perfectly with my idea of an Archives.<br />

On a side note.... Could someone ban the user who made the previous edit on this page that I had to edit back to its original form.<br />

Thanks!<br />

<br />
BTW, may want DJ_Sith to look into making the wiki image folder writable, so people can upload pics.<br />
--[[User:R2D2|R2D2]]<br />
<br />
I'll look into it this weekend.<br />
