Long week -
Hey everybody! I'm posting this for one reason. I have lots of levels in my inbox, but I havn't been able to post them all week. I've had a ton of stuff to do. I had to play in my basketball games, had lots of homework, and have gone to a few Milwaukee Bucks' games. I will dedicate one hour tommorow for posting all the levels. Thanks to all the authors for their patience.

New Jedi Knight Mod: Saber Battle X - JK v3.1 -

Description:
Changes in v3.1:
- Fixed SBX copyright date.
- Nice new SBX logo for the Multiplayer background.
- Field Light, IR Goggles, Change Lightsaber Color, Lightsaber Damage Toggle, and Light Motion Trails Toggle are now in your item inventory. You must go through your inventory to use these now; none of them have hotkeys anymore. I left those for the important stuff: Force Saber Throw, Force Push, Evasion/Kick, Saber ON/OFF Switch, and Lightsaber Stance.
- Force Saber Throw and Push are now neutral bonus powers. Force Throw and Speed are back and Saber Throw and Push have their own hotkeys. You can't assign stars to Push or Saber Throw; you get them (with four stars) as long as you have SOME Jedi potential. In other words, the uninitiated don't get these powers while all Jedi levels 1-8 do in SP and MP automatically. Also, I changed the mana cost values so that all Jedi levels can use these powers (although very little in the lower levels, and can't be overused anymore in higher Jedi levels).
- A Sith Talisman replaces the cheap and annoying Super Shield powerups. It enables the holder to have 15 seconds of total Force immunity (excluding Force Throw) and magnetic seal (to deflect lasers), although it eats up all your mana (if you have any) due to the draining properties of Dark Side magic.
- Dark and Light Surges now only give you full mana (instead of infinite mana for 30 seconds AND full mana as they do normally).
- Renamed new sabers to their correct names. I also renamed a few hotkeys slightly to be more optimal (like Increase viewsize is now Increase View Size, Thermal Detonator and Sequencer Charge are plural, Slow = Walk, Fast = Run, etc.).
- Added a skin of Callista Ming, Luke's previous love interest. I also added Luke's final love interest, Mara Jade, and I replaced many of the Jedi skins with versions that are better. Yoda is in there now too-he's pretty much the right height, too. Additionally, I made a new Exar Kun skin since the old one was rather bad and made two versions of a new character named Angel. Finally, I touched up and fixed several other skins here and there that I overlooked in SBX3, re-added Bar Tender and Hal, renamed Solomon to Mikos, tweaked Dragon as per his request, and fixed all the 16-bit MATs so they don't turn black from afar.
- Recorded some new Sith lightsaber sounds directly from the Episode I DVD digitally via GoldWave, tweaked 'em to death, and ended up with a much more fierce-sounding weapon with more bass-like the movie.
- Added bass to all the single-bladed lightsaber swing/activate/deactivate sounds for balance.
- Rearranged and balanced (volume/bass/treble-wise) the lightsaber wall and saber clash sounds so there aren't any useless or redundant sound files. Also, I brought back one of the original wall hit sounds because it provides more continuity in saber-to-wall collisions.
- Force Destruction can cause damage to oneself for realism.
- Force Blinding has a more powerful effect although it doesn't last as long.
- Several other bug fixes and tweaks.

The Good team has Rebel soldiers on its side, and the Bad team has Stormtroopers and "Lightsaber-less" Jedi on its side. The red team can only go through the red force field and yellowcan go through theirs. I've made it so that the bad guys can quickly get to the rooms quicker than the good guys.

Abuse of Level Comments -
I did not want to have to do this, but it's to the point where I don't think I have any other choice.
Here are two of the rules governing the level comment system:
Comments such as "First comment!", "Yay! Second comment!", "Haha, third comment!" are not related to the level, they are not constructive, nor are they relevant to anything whatsoever. If you use a little common sense, you will see that they are against the rules and do not belong.
Therefore, posters of these and similar comments will have their posting privileges revoked. The rules were displayed to you when you registered, and are above the form in which you enter your comments. Those who cannot obey them cannot have the privilege of posting comments. To those that wish to argue that the rules do not cover this, my reply is that those who do not have enough common sense to refrain from posting such comments cannot have the privilege of using the system.
I wish this was not necessary, but it is getting out of hand.
Here are two of the rules governing the level comment system:
- Please limit discussion to subjects regarding the specific level you are commenting on. If you want more free discussion, please use our Forums.
- The comment section is designed to allow people to post their thoughts on levels. If these thoughts happen to be criticism, make sure it's constructive. Comments like "this level sucks" are not wanted. Constructive criticism only.

Description: The level takes place during the Dark Forces timeline, when Kyle is still a mercenary hired by the Rebellion. Kyle is now tasked with infiltrating a large Imperial Research Facility on an intelligence gathering mission. To say anymore would spoil the surprise, however the level is quite large and many areas are not vital to the completion of the level. The base is supposed to feel like a real Imperial Facility, so take your time and explore and look around. You will also need a 3d card that can support 16bit textures to fully enjoy this level. The level contains many new 3do's and textures and BM's and has a new feature, where the player can read signs throughout the level by activating the sign or if out of reach, shooting it.

Description: This cog will allow you to change the player's view to a camera that will follow the player's position at all times. It can give your level a cool, more modern-looking type of experience. Great for cutscenes with flying starships, Jedi duels, or simply a player running down an ordinary corridor. Can be used in gameplay too. Includes three cogs and a level to demonstrate what I'm talking about.

Here's the word from Elited.net's -ViX-:
With the recent release of the Jedi Outcast trailer, DT Carel has updated 1337 Comics. His latest comic shows the state the staff has been left in after viewing the JK2 trailer.I think it best sums up our reaction here at Massassi, too.
Super Saiyan Mod Removed -
I've removed the JK Super Saiyan mod posted here back in November for using several items from Gohan_JSE's Roshi Mod without asking or even letting the guy know. I'm only sorry it took us this long to find out.
Folks, if you download something from us and find lifted material — skins, textures, sound files, etc. — please write to us and let us know about it so we can take it down. Massassi deals with dozens of submissions a week, and while some plagiarized work (otherwise known as "rips") gets stopped at the door, things inevitably slip through the cracks. Thanks.
As for you authors out there thinking about using other people's material, check out the readme file first. Sometimes authors don't care one way or the other, but sometimes they truly do, and are rightfully protective of their original creations. If they're not willing to let you use their stuff, you must accept that and create your own material.

Raynar Injured, Next Version of Rbots Will Be Final -
Don't know how this slipped past, but here it is. Unfortunately, Raynar, creator of the amazing Rbots mod for JK and MotS, has come down with carpal tunnel syndrome and will have to have surgery. While he's recovering he won't be able to use the computer at all, so the next release of Rbots will be the last release. So if you have any code you'd like to submit, do it soon. You can check out the Rbots site and the Rbots forum for more info.

A Side Note About Downloading -
Just a quick note about downloading. I get lots of emails with messages such as, "I can't download so-and-so levels". And when I say lots, I mean LOTS. And there is a reason and 2 solutions. Occasionally, the Massassi server acts a bit weird, where certain people can't download specific levels. The two solutions are 1. Try refreshing the page a couple times, and the level might download then. 2. Just wait 30 minutes-1hr. And if that doesn't work, it's your ISP. Usually, when people send me these emails, the downloads just work fine. So take these reasons/solutions into consideration before you flood us with emails. Thanks!

PC Gamer (UK) with Jedi Outcast Goodies -
While I was checking my mail, I found one email to be very, very interesting regarding Jedi Outcast. On February 15th (the official release date), the March issue of the UK PC Gamer magazine is going to have a 6 page review of Jedi Outcast. The magazine will be available in 2 different versions. One will be the "Lightside issue" which contains three cd-roms full of playable demos, movies, add-ons and patches. The other "Dark-side issue" will contain a packed DVD-ROM and an extra cd-rom with all the Light Side content discs and more. Both versions will contain a stunning new 94Mb Jedi Knight II in-game movie on the discs. This exclusive movie is twice the length of the one already released on the LucasArts Web site, and features all-new content exclusive to PC Gamer. You can check out pictures of the boxes right here.

Some More News, But Some Bad -
As I was doing my daily surfing, I came across Jedi Knight-II's main page and I saw something interesting regarding a demo release. The questions were answered by Chang Khan of Raven Software.
THE MOST WANTED ANSWER: Will there be a demo, man? Everyone's hyped about the game and just the smallest of demos would be of much appreciation. If so, do you have a date set, soon?Also, the interview includes info on Force Speed, weapons, and the fists. Doesn't sound good about the demo. But, I bet we all would rather have a bug-free game instead of a rushed release. Thanks to AB_Leigon for the info.
Totally up to LucasArts. Personally, I hope not because it takes a lot of work to get a demo together when, at this point, it would be a lot easier to just finish the game and get it out the door...

Description: This level is one of many Imperial Sector Control Centres on the planet Aridus, security outposts for the ore mines. A medium-sized level optimized for guns. This is my first level, so go easy on the criticism. Areas include and armory, security stations, a swimming pool and a med centre with full-sized bacta tanks that work! I may create a single-player version that will be bigger and with improved lighting.

The PC Gamer UK Trailer, and New Screenshots -
As you know, PC Gamer UK recently released CD's and DVD's with their latest issues that contain, among other things, a large JK2 trailer. We received a few offers from our visitors to send it to us for posting on Massassi. To be safe, I asked PC Gamer UK's editor if it was all right. It is copyrighted by LEC, and they have only given it to PC Gamer UK. The editor of PCGUK was kind enough to answer my e-mail, but he asked us not to post it. LEC only authorized them to distribute it with their magazine; it isn't even on their Web site. Therefore, we will not be posting the movie, or links to it. It also will not be allowed on the forums. We do appreciate the offers we've received from our visitors to send us the movie, but although we'd love to do it, we can't.
But he was kind enough to send us these exclusive screenshots with his reply. So, enjoy! Big thanks to PC Gamer UK and their editor!
