Summary:
========================================

This mod is a continuation and remaster of the Movie Duels 2 Total Conversion Mod, made by Wector over 13 years ago.

As the mod starts to run, you�ll begin to notice some big improvements across the board and we hope you�ll be pleased and appreciate all these new changes that�s been made and gone into the mod�s development, to try and bring it up to standard of some of the more modern Jedi Academy mods out there, such as Movie Battles II.
As this is our sixth update of the mod, be aware that there are some unresolved issues you may no doubt run into. Some of them the team are aware of, but feel free to post and leave any feedback about any bugs you find, so we can get them addressed and fixed, for when the next update comes.
But enjoy the updated version and rest assured, that the team are still constantly working hard to deliver a fun and immersive Star Wars experience.

May the Force be with you, always.
- Movie Duels Team
