LEC, Ensemble Studios Announce New Battleground RTS -
LucasArts announced recently they'd be teaming up with Ensemble Studios to create another Real-Time Strategy game titled Star Wars Battleground (official press release). If you'll recall, Ensemble are the guys behind the Age of Empires series of strategy games, so you know good things are going to be coming out of this partnership. Let's all cross our fingers. Thanks go to Matt_M for spotting the story and posting on our discussion board.
Update: I just found this Q&A posted over at Stomped with Bruce Shelly, Ensemble's head game designer who'll be involved in the development of Battleground. It's rather terse, but hey, it's a start...

Star Wars Galaxies FAQ Updated -
The Frequently Asked Questions page for Star Wars Galaxies, the upcoming multiplayer online RPG being developed by Verant, was updated yesterday, addressing some critical questions about continuity between the game and the films, and why you won't find any Sith Lords running around online. If you haven't seen the page in a while, they've really added a bunch of info on there. If MMORPGs tickle your fancy, be sure to check it out.

This Page -
If you can read this page, it means your DNS transfer has already gone through. I am aware of the multitude of problems on the site, and rest assured I am working as fast as I can to take care of them. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Most of them are just problems that pop up when you switch server operating systems.
Editor's Corner -
The Editor's Corner is now functioning properly, so members can now upload images and add text entries. Other areas of the site will be up and running soon.

3do Section Up -
After a long period of downtime, the 3do section has been brought back up. If you have any problems with it, let me know.
Mats Section Up -
The mats section should be working now, too. Any problems, feel free to let me know.
Reviews Section Up -
The reviews section is up. I'll get the review administration information to blujay soon, so all you reviewers can get back to work.
Screenshot of the Day Archives Up -
The SotD archives are now working. Just so you know, it's a real pain converting everything from a Unix/Linux server (as we've been doing for almost 3 years now) to a Windows server. Everything is supposed to work the same, but in reality, it doesn't. Anyway, I think the SotD archives are great, they really show off some great work, so have a look.
Levels Working -
The levels section should be working properly now. I think I have tested everything and verified that the downloads are working, but if you find a problem, please let me know.
Etc. -
Okay, most of the site is up and running, but some areas are still problematic. So far the old news, forums, and links still aren't up. I have to wait until my DNS switches to fix the forums, and the old news and links sections are just a matter of finding some time.
Level/Mod Authors: Please feel free to follow the submission instructions and begin submitting your work again. We probably won't be in full operation until this weekend, but the sooner you email your stuff in, the sooner we can post it.

If you have previously submitted a level that did not get posted, please do not resend it. I am in the process of downloading the old levels account, and I have over 133 submissions coming in. If your level isn't posted within the next 2 weeks, then feel free to resend it. It will take us at least that long to process this many levels. Thanks again for your cooperation.

JKMAG Updates -
ReAcTor sends word that JKMAG has been updated - the first for a very long time. Heres what he has to say.
I am excited to announce that JKMAG or The Jedi Knight Multiplayer Add-on Group has been updated for the first time since July of 2000. We have started to update the news on a regular basis, we have created a section for a new place for gamers to play Jedi Knight and/or Mysteries of the Sith, called #JediKnight, our forum is beginning to become active once more and there are some exciting projects that we will be announcing when the time is right. JKMAG has been serving the Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith community since 1998 and we are excited about doing so again. We have brought some of the best addons of all time to the community, such as The Big Fluffy Packs, The Manowar Mods, The UGP and USP Level Packs and many more. You can plan to see us bring even more great addons in the near future. Make sure you all check out JKMAG on a regular basis for now on, you won't regret it. Thanks, ReAcToR JKMAG - http://www.jediknight.net/jkmagI imagine that, basing on their former stuff, JKMAG will be coming out with some great stuff. Go check it out.

Description: This level mixes together Imperial architecture with the architecture from the Valley of the Jedi. It is a somewhat large level that is easily big enough to handle large groups of players, and not be crowded. There isn't much complex architecture, so framerate shouldn't suffer any drops in any areas. The level also contains one challenge: getting across a damaged catwalk to a control room. It isn't that hard with force, but without it, almost impossible. Once across, players are rewarded with powerups, and several cameras allowing them to search the level for other players.

Database Downtime -
Our database will be down probably most of today for some trouble-shooting. This means that most of our site won't be funtioning properly. This includes levels, 3dos, mats, EC, reviews, and probably other sections that I haven't remembered. The forums will still be up. I apologize for any inconvenience, but this is necessary to ensure future stability.

According to DragonPhinn the Apocalyptic Editors Group Web Site has updated with an all new "Starter Set" and project updates. So head over there and check it out.
SavageX Returns -
It seems that SavageX has settled down and is resuming work on his SS3 Mod. The next release will be Beta 9.0 because of the amount of changes since the last beta. Anyway, here are a few updates for Beta 9.0:
Check out the SS3 Website for more updates, screenshots and more.
- Removed the dead corpse effect due to collision problems.
- Decreased the explosions for the RPG and M16 to balance gameplay.
- Pipebombs are limited to only 5 bombs per detonation and pipe bombs are stronger than the RPG.
- Players can retrieve thrown knifes.
- Knife has new model. You can see both hands now and features better slash animations.
- Glock pistol has new model. It resembles a standard glock 17 now.
- New Weapon: Taser Rod. This stun gun that resembles a pipe ranch can zap anything that gets within range and can also be swung with the fire 2 button. I got the idea from a similar weapon from "lame duke" (lame duke is the unsupported early beta of Duke Nukem 3D).
- Victory gesture: Players can now express themselves by making a body gesture and a victory cry (similar to Quake 3's gesture).
Monday, March 19, 2001
Links Section -
The links section is now back online. Remember, we purged it about a month ago, so if you haven't added your site in quite a while, you should go make sure it's there.
Etc. -
I implemented some minor changes to the mats section and the Editor's Corner. For the mats, it's now a double column view which I think looks much better. Also when you view a screenshot it allows you to go back to the category you were viewing, rather than having to rely on your back button. For the Editor's Corner, I added a link to the archives. This is where you can get a complete list of everyone that's ever updated their corner.
I am planning some other major changes to the EC pretty soon. Now that we're on a decently fast server, I can implement some of the things I've been planning, such as auto-generating thumbnails, different viewing options, and basically just a nice upgrade.

Massassi Wars - The Massassi Menace -
Jedi Nights noted that the ever-creative folks over on the Command Chamber forums (namely CookedHaggis) have added the latest installment of the Massassi Wars. The new one is entitled The Massassi Menace.
Turmoil has engulfed the JK community. The placement of banner ads on hosted web sites is in dispute.
Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy UGO Federation™ has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Sigma 51-A.
While the forums of the Community endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, Supreme Chancellor Bickhart has secretly dispatched two SP Editors, the guardians of peace, justice and sanity in the Community, to settle the conflict...
Massassi Chat Server Move -
Now that our current server is in some semblance of stability, we have officially moved the chat channel to irc.massassi.net. The easiest way to join the fun is to click the chat link in the sidebar. If, however, you are familiar with IRC and would like to use your own IRC client to connect to our server, please use the following information:

Levels Section -
Big thanks to Hideki (of Millennium) for helping me get the levels search working again. Basically, the script that builds the index was completely jacked, so we had to reprogram parts of it. It's been so long since I've messed with perl... Anyway, the levels search should now be up to date (none of the new levels were included in the index).
Also a small upgrade to the levels section (suggested by Hideki) - you can now easily tell which page you are on when browsing.
Now that that's all settled, we can continue posting levels...

It also includes some new saber sounds.

JediKnight.net has announced that Al MacDonald's Jedi Knight Skin site is back online (apparently he was having server access problems). With it, he brings two new episodes of Diary of a Crazed Mimbanite, his popular Star Wars parody comics. Al also posted word that he's working on a DCM skin pack!

Millennium, our hosted cog site, is back up and running. It's been only semi-functional due to CGI "issues" on our new server. You will be forarded to a temporary server until Hideki has time to make the site compatible.

It's good for defense, especially in a CTF level, for instance.

Serious Editing: Serious Sam! -
I am very pleased to announce the release of Serious Editing, a Massassi, if you will, for a new game called Serious Sam. The game is a first person shooter developed by a Croatian company named Croteam. I am very excited about this game, and this new site. If you would like more information, please check out this forum post as well as Serious Editing itself.
For those of you wondering, no, this is not the thing that's "coming" from this thread, but here is more information on that. Massassi turns 3 years old on the 27th of this month. When I started the site, I had no idea it would turn out like it did. I would like to thank all of you for visiting. I will post more interesting information on the 27th, but if you're interested, check out this page, which is our archive of the very first news post on this site (scroll all the way to the bottom). As you can see, we haven't strayed too far from our original purpose (just expanded upon it).

It's a doubled version of Oasis with a couple of additional routes between. There are three versions of the level included: A 'faithful' Oasis version, a full-MotS version and a No-Seeker version. You can either play it with two people and go hunting, trying to outsmart your opponent, or you can pack it with as many people as possible and run around like a maniac - the choice is yours! I found the large open area up top was even rather fun for sabers.

Massassi Chat Changes -
The chat server has been upgraded with new services, and as a side effect, all name and channel registrations were lost. You will need to re-register your names and channels if you have any.
Massassi Email Service Closure -
As you may or may not know, the Massassi Temple entered into an agreement with Everyone.net to provide free, web based email services to our visitors. This service worked for a little while without any problems. Then, Everyone.net changed their rules and requirements, and shortly thereafter, the service became very unstable. I have tried numerous times to contact Everyone.net support, but they do not respond. Due to the fact that the service is unreliable at best, and the fact that Everyone.net is not doing anything at all to try to remedy the situation, we are no longer able to support or advertise this service.
The DNS records and whatnot will not change, so if the service is accessible to you currently, it will probably stay that way for a while (at: http://mail.massassi.com). However, if you've read all the problem reports that I've read, you would probably agre that it's in your best interests to find another email service.
You can read all about it on this page.

Happy Birthday to Massassi! -
I am very pleased to wish this site a happy 3rd birthday. That's right, The Massassi Temple is now 3 years old! Interested in a little bit of history? Read on...
Massassi was originally created as a site to help people learn how to edit Jedi Knight. I had been struggling very much with an early version of Jed, and good ol' Slug (formerly known as GMS_Slug) came to my rescue. After seeing numerous posts on the DarkJedi.com forums (now Code-Alliance.com) about the same things, I decided that I should write some tutorials. I built Massassi in a day or two (it had pretty much the same design we have now, if you can believe that), but it took me longer to write the first few tutorials.
Once a few tutorials were up, I asked for hosting at JediKnight.net, but was turned down. Then I asked Spart @ Jedi Nights, who quickly responded with a "yes" and set up our account. We were then located at http://www.jedinights.com/massassi/.
The site contined to grow (as you can see if you browse the old news section) with more staff members and more tutorials. Soon, we added our own message board (using WWWBoard, a threaded system), which rapidly grew to the point that we had to trim it every other day. So we opened another one (now we had an editing forum and a discussion forum).
Soon after that, we were provided our own sub-domain, and moved to: http://massassi.jedinights.com.
We then started posting author's levels, which turned out to be a feature that a *lot* of people really liked. Our hits soon surpassed that of our host, and due to some internal conflicts with Telefragged (the host of Jedi Nights), I decided to move the site to its own domain name.
Over the years, we've been graced with a great many talented staff members and visitors. We've had some great times, some troubling times, and some just plain average times. Throughout all of the "Jedi Knight is dying" threads and emails, we've proven that Jedi Knight is in fact *not* dead, proven once again by the fact that our traffic has grown steadily since the time the site was put online. And we are still growing! With new and exciting features being added often, news that's updated practically daily (okay, so we miss a day now and again), and a top notch group of administrators, this site has proven that it's got what it takes to survive. Rest assured we will be around for a long time to come.
Here's to Massassi, and here's to the wish of another great Star Wars action game!
If you have any comments on this (the order of specific details may be switched around - I can barely remember yesterday, much less 3 years ago!), feel free to leave them on this thread.

File: A Jedi's Discovery

Description: This takes place a few years after the blockade incident on Naboo involving the Trade Federation. The Jedi Council has discovered a mysterious underground lair on the planet Dorin, the home planet of Plo Koon. Within this underground lair there are plans for a weapon with such capability that it can destroy an entire planet. If this news were to get out to the Republic, they would panic, and the result would be devastating. The council has therefore sent you, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to find the plans for this weapon and destroy them.
Authors note: I've included an Obi-Wan patch with this level. The patch is pretty important for this level, and when you save, make sure your lightsaber is not out, or else it will crash. Because of this, I put extra-effort into the level by making cutscenes with voices. And I set most enemies that shoot lasers to 1% health so you can deflect shots and kill them instantly like in the movie. I again would like to thank my brother "thejockofjazz" for doing the voice Koben Katarn.
P.S. You won't be getting a seizure from this one.

Authors note: I've included an Obi-Wan patch with this level. The patch is pretty important for this level, and when you save, make sure your lightsaber is not out, or else it will crash. Because of this, I put extra-effort into the level by making cutscenes with voices. And I set most enemies that shoot lasers to 1% health so you can deflect shots and kill them instantly like in the movie. I again would like to thank my brother "thejockofjazz" for doing the voice Koben Katarn.
P.S. You won't be getting a seizure from this one.

Author: EL3CTRO
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: The year is 2081, and you are one of the last survivors of the alien attack that wiped out the atmosphere of planet Earth. Fight against the other survivors for the last shuttle, and a chance to escape this nightmare, into the unknown...
This is a large JKMP level based on an abandoned space station. There are 2 modes of play, DM and RPG; the RPG version has AI, but it is not synched due to the COG being for MotS. With that in mind, don't be surprised if you see players figting mid-air: they are probably fighting enemies but because they are not synched, they are not at your end.
The security office in this level is where you can activate AI, it is advisable to raise the force field using the switch by the door before you spawn the AI, otherwise things could get dirty.
There is a new enemy also, the Droideka attack droid from Episode 1.
DM mode of play is the same level as AI apart from having the switches to activate the them. Secrets include a self-destruct button, which causes the reactor to overload, an alien landing site, and a disco traps room. Also hidden deep in the station is a gravity control switch, but I'm not telling you where they are. :)

Submit This -
Right then, the batch of posts you see below are the last ones coming from the Level Bin, which means we're all caught up on the submissions that have been sent in while our databases went MIA last month. Woo-hoo! There are over a dozen submissions, however, that either weren't GOB'ed or ZIP'ed (and my bandwidth provider will have words with you for that), or were missing screenshots or crucial description info. Some were just missing attachments altogether.
If you've sent a level or a mod to us in the past and haven't seen it posted on our site yet, chances are you're among the bunch of invalid submissions. Please have just one last peek at our submission instructions and send your stuff in again. Thanks.

JKMAG Tourney Results -
ReAcToR checks in with a report of last night's hot tourney action:
The #JediKnight/JKMAG Ji O NF Tournament was a success. 32 players participated in this frag fest that went on for a total of 3 hours(7-10PM Eastern). The only real problems that we ran into were a minor netsplit and a handful of players that weren't familiar on how to join through TCP/IP. All of the problems were remedied quickly. The turnout was great and we hope to bring more tournaments to the community in the NEAR future. We are working on a new #JediKnight Java Applet which will be more user-friendly and we will actually have a dedicated page for the competitions as well. We encourage everyone that wants to participate in the upcoming tournaments to become familiar with mIRC, so that your experience will be an even better one next time. I would like to thank everyone who participated, showed up or helped organize/run the tournament. Now for what you've all been waiting for:
Results:
1st/Gold - JaG_A_Kicker
2nd/Silver - JaG_KnightAli
3rd/Bronze - US_SubZero
