------------------

By now, you're wondering, what is this?! Simple! It's the beginning of the modding of Jedi Academy! Included you'll find the first of many JKR maps I hope to release. These are racing themed maps which use the swoop bikes as racing mediums. The tutorial map, jkr_tatooine, is just to get you used to what you should expect. The other ones will be released in due time over the course of the next few months. I encourage everyone to read the tutorial and make your own JKR maps! Let's dwarf Hydroball in popularity here!

Install the PK3 into the base directory like you would anything else. You can put the tutorial anywhere you want. The map, as it is, starts out with 4 swoops (that I coded myself) that are racing modified. Enjoy it, it oughta be fun! ^_^

Note: There are some minor bugs in the map, but this isn't meant to be a full-blown scripted JKR map (that will come later after the SDK is released). For now, just enjoy the mod!

Fixes in 1.01:
--------------
- Fixed a large clipping problem where the people couldn't get up the first ramp without hitting the wall.

- Fixed a problem where the swoops would randomly self destruct. This should no longer happen. At least, not immediately (sometimes they do so in case they are abandoned, so they don't repeatedly spawn).

- Last, but not least, the swoops now respawn after 5 seconds. If you destroy one swoop and it is near the others (and they are at the starting point) they will continue to blow themselves up, so do yourself a favor and try not to blow them to pieces at the spawn point ;)
