Installation and Setup:
Follow these simple steps carefully to enjoy the Jedi Knight Role Playing experience.

Step 1.) Place the file called 'rpgcode.gob' in your jedi knight directory.

Step 2.) Place the file called 'baronrpg.gob' in your episode directory.

Step 3.) Start a game using Patch Commander, running the 'rpgcode.gob'

Step 4.) Create a new character, and bind keys for 'drop item', 'drop weapon', 'money display', and 'doc heal'. To bind a key, go to setup, go to controls, go to keyboard, and scroll down to the bottom of the list where you can assign keys for the above mentioned functions.

Step 5.) Enter a game, and walk up to the Gran to the left of the door directly in front of you. This is Fendle, and if you activate him he will tell you a hint. He is useful if you are new to JKrpg.

Step 6.) Enter the elevator shaft and drop down until you reach the desired floor. If you reach the bottom and want to get back up, step into the red teleporter, and you will spawn in the lobby.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using New Functions:

1.) Using drop item: Hit the hotkey you assigned during setup, and you will drop the item selected in you inventory. You can also hit the drop weapon hotkey to drop the weapon you are currently holding.

2.) Using Scope: You must have the sniper rifle. Select the scope icon in your inventory, and activate it. To use properly, make sure you are not moving, and adjust zoom by how long you hold down the activate command.

3.) Using Converter(guards and mayor only): Select the battery to shield converter icon (looks like a bulb), and activate it. Activate it again to turn it off.

4.) Using Heal(doctor only): Select the cross icon (or hit hotkey), and activate it quickly to heal yourself. Hold it down until it targets another player and release to heal them.

5.) Using Disguise(Assassin only): Select mask icon, and activate to change skins. While in this mode, you cannot draw a weapon other than fists, or your disguise will fail. Use again or draw weapon to deactivate.

6.) Purchasing Items: Touch an item and it will tell you the cost. Hit the money display hotkey to see if you have enough. If you wish to purchase the item, activate it, and if you have enough credits you will buy it. Also note that if you do not have ammo for a purchased weapon, you need to buy that too, or you cannot use the weapon.

7.) Earning Money(venders only): Activate any item in your shop (weapon vender activates weapons, item vender activates shields and items, etc). Touching the item will reveal how much money it currently holds. If someone has previously purchased it, a percentage of that cash will be added to your account.

8.) Using the Bank Machines: Touch the bank machine and it will tell you how much you have in your account (up to 1000). Activate it to insert credits into your account, and activate it two times in a row swiftly to withdraw all the credits you can carry (up to 500) from your account.

9.) Contacting Team: Activate a com unit, and a message will be displayed with your name and location to everyone on your team (guard activates, mayor and guards see message, etc).

10.) Changing Character: You must first die to become a new character, HOWEVER, if you are a civilian(non vender) and you kill an assassin, you will be promoted to guard, and if you are a civilian(non vender) and you kill a guard, you will become an assassin.

11.) Trading with Civilians: Scattered throughout the level are civilians, all of whom you can chat with by activating them. Some of them will have tasks for you to do, or trades they would like to make. They only trade with certain character types, depending on the civilian. To trade, make sure you have the item they are requesting, and then activate them again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Point System:

Civilian kills Guard -2
Civilian kills Mayor -5
Assassin kills Guard 2
Assassin kills Mayor 5
Guard/Mayor kills Civilian -2
Assassin kills Civilian 2
Guard/Mayor kills Assassin 5
Civilian kills Assassin 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and Tricks:

1.) Tusken Raiders are located throughout the level, mainly in the canyon and tunnel. They will attack anyone who is not an assassin, and can be activated by assassins to follow them.

2.) There is a complex sewer system benieth the city which is ideal for getting from place to place without being seen above ground, or drawing too much attention.

3.) There are coins hidden throughout the level, and you can also kill other players to steal their money and inventories.

4.) The most action generally takes place around the stores and in the central marketplace.

5.) Take advantage of the special skills of the player type you are playing, they all come in useful in various situations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:

1.) Force has been disabled, and each character has their own special skills instead.

2.) Lag is pretty heavy, so it is suggested that hosting be done on cable modems or DSL lines.

3.) While 1 on 1 games can be fun, it is suggested that you play with at least 4 people for maximum entertainment value.

4.) Slaughtering harmless civilians is not only evil, but subtracts from your score, you dirty murderer.

5.) Let the wookiee win
