Introduction
Star Wars: The New Era is a HL² Source mod being created by the fans for the fans of George Lucas' blockbuster series of films. Originated by two community members of Ravensoft / Lucasarts' Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy PC game and highly popular total conversion mod for it; Movie Battles 2, the team has since grown to having a highly skilled group of Star Wars fans from different parts of the world, including the U.S, Denmark, Poland, Australia and various parts of the U.K.
Development
To be added on.
Locations
Both the old and prequel trilogies will play a prominent role in the mod with locations such as the Deathstar, Tantive IV blockade runner, Jabba’s Palace and Naboo with highly accurate layout representation and atmospheric feel. All our materials for the project from player models to map textures and objects have been painstakingly created from many of the highly detailed behind the scenes books and reference material being offered both commercially and from other fans. The team is striving to replicate the many locations, characters and weaponry from the films so that they are as close to their film counterparts as possible.

Game Modes
Phase 1 Clonetrooper
The mod will expand upon many successful gameplay modes from games like Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy and super charge them with the power of the Source engine. Among the modes planned, the mod will include:
Team Deathmatch
Two teams battle it out in locations from the movies and books. The mode will be class based with a Last Man Standing feature similar to Counter Strike.
Capture the Flag
Very similar to Team Deathmatch, however the teams now try to get the most number of flag captures. Class based but no Last Man Standing mechanic.
Lightsaber Duel
Depending on the complexity of the coding, this mode may or may not be possible. Will be like Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy dueling modes where 1v1 and 2v1 duels take place on smaller maps.
Objective/Team Assault
Planned to be the main focus of the mod, this mode will feature class based Last Man Standing with objectives for each team to attack/defend. Objectives range from escorting a V.I.P player acting as famous Star Wars characters like R2D2 or Princess Leia to a safe exit point while the opposing team attempts to assassinate them to more general objectives like destroying an object/building.
Single Player
Currently in conceptual stages and possible concurrent develpment with the multiplayer portion of the mod down the road. Story might be a mix of FPS with adventure game collecting/problem solving.
