TODOA TC is a new release celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Jedi Knight SP mod TODOA as well as the upcoming 15th anniversary of Jedi Knight. It is divided into two parts, TODOA TC Single Player and TODOA TC Multiplayer.

Features:
* New version of the Jedi Knight unofficial patch
* New lightsabers courtesy of Xzero
* Widescreen view
* New savepoint system for single player
* New Death Star-themed duel level for multiplayer
* Assorted bug fixes
* New SP content (level architecture, easter eggs)
* Gameplay mechanics from the SP release adapted for multiplayer

The RAR containers include the necessary files to patch the original, unpatched, non-Steam JK.EXE into the latest unofficially patched version of Jedi Knight. If you have the Steam version of the game, you can use the JKVersions tool as available from JKHub (or this project's download page) to retrieve the original JK.EXE.

As far as Jedi Knight's age and activeness are concerned, TODOA's release was a success. It reached 1,000 downloads (the ModDB and Massassi Temple downloads added together) by March 2011 and also gained plenty of positive attention outside the main Jedi Knight community (the Massassi Temple) as well, and even warranted a German Let's Play ( Bit.ly ) on YouTube! I'm most grateful for everyone who took the time to play the mod, especially since the original release contained its fair share of bugs. I've attempted to fix many of those from this release and while I've managed to remove plenty of the earlier bugs, new bugs have managed to appear! Regardless of this, I think TODOA is much more enjoyable to play (and look at, thanks to the new lightsabers!) than even before.

The main feature of this release is of course the new unofficial patch for the main game itself, enabling the new lightsabers, widescreen mode and some slight graphical advancements. The multiplayer release includes 4 DM levels designed for 12 players: the City of Apocalopolis (i.e. 2009 TODOA DM), Duel in Apocalopolis (i.e. 2010 TODOA DUel), Anodean Spaceport (content from 2009 adapted for DM) and a new short Death Star-based duel level celebrating this release (Battleground Death Star).

And yet, it still needs to be emphasized that TODOA TC Singleplayer is best played in one sitting and the new savepoint system has been designed for that purpose. However, you're still able to enable normal savegames if you wish. I very very highly recommend you to read the documentation first!

Enjoy!
