GtkOutcast - Jedi Outcast Support For GtkRadiant - Kedri @ 8:22 AM
With all the recent discussion about modding GtkRadiant to work with JK2 resources, the ever-dilligent Craig "UGG" Urquhart has devised a patch that streamlines the process. In his own words:
This patch allows you to compile Jedi Outcast maps with the stable 1.2.1 version of GtkRadiant (it does not work with the 1.2.6 development builds). Raven's Outcast tools must also be installed before using the patch but you can remove them afterwards.

It's important to note that is not an official GtkRadiant release, and I am not a member of the development team. Don't complain to them if you have trouble using my patch.
We're mirroring a copy of his patch here (265kb), but you can also download it from UGG's GtkOutcast site: http://ugg.codealliance.ca/gtkoutcast/

File: Ancient Sith Catacombs
Author: Seryl Cann
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: These catacombs are the old sewers of an ancient Sith Temple, which was located next to a vulcano. As most sewers it is dark and damp.

Description: A multi-tiered duel map. Has two platforms in a vertical chamber that are anchored over a bottomless pit.

New JK2 Beginners Tutorial for Jedi Outcast - Kedri @ 8:07 PM
Vincent Valentine has sent in a great tutorial for everyone interested in editing Jedi Outcast but not knowing where to begin. His JK2Radiant Beginners Tutorial covers all the essential basics, from downloading the tools to creating your first one-room map. Many thanks go to Vinny for his submission! Now you chumps ain't got no excuse, ha ha!

While you're reading about tutorials, you'll be interested to know we've already got a couple of tutorials to offer for Jedi Outcast editing. DeTRiTiC-iQ's submitted a nifty how-to on scaling NPCs, and we've also got an HTML'ized copy of Michael Gummelt's custom skinning guide. Be sure to check 'em out, and if you've got a tutorial you'd like to submit for us to post, by all means, send it to us at tutorials@massassi.net.
Cel Shading Gameplay - Hebedee @ 10:34 AM
I saw on Jedi-Outcast.com that they had found out a way to play the game with cel shaded graphics. Here is an example (hosted by Jedi-Outcast.com - copyright them). The tutorial can be found here. Its a forum post there. This way of playing requires an extraneous program, so keep that in mind.

Update: both I and some chatters had problems with this program, and I did a little searching and found this. The program said it couldn't find GLUT32.DLL, and on the website is a link to a file with GLUT32.DLL in it. Install the stuff in the zip file you get into the same place that you installed the original program in. If it doesn't work with this, I would just give up. The program is experimental anyhow, so its bound not to work on some computers.

New Jedi Outcast Mod: Ultimate Engagement - Kedri @ 10:46 AM
File: Ultimate Engagement
Author: Sephiroth__VII, MegalomaniacVII
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This patch changes several different aspects of the game. The sideways "barrel roll" is changed to an aerial cartwheel and the backflip is changed to a back handspring. All of the saber moves are sped up so that attacks are faster and deadlier. This gives the fast and normal stances a fighting chance (makes for awesome whirlwind-type spinning attacks) while also improving heavy to make it more efficient. Two new skins are added: Dante from Devil May Cry and a Shadow skin. The sabers are also changed into firey sabers with silver and gold handles. The purple saber is changed into a katana (since no one wants purple =) ) The appearance of the Bryar Pistol and Flechette weapon is vastly improved. (Bryar is now silver and black with neon green shots, Flechette is kinda coppery). The patch also lets you use duel levels such as BGJ and The Pit in FFA games.

Jedi Outcast Patch 1.03 Released - Zecks @ 6:44 PM
Thanks to Emon for telling me this bit of news. The Jedi Outcast 1.03 patch has been released. You can find the English version here.

Update May/6 (Hideki) : Emon also states that he has a mirror for the file. This mirror taken down.

Update 2 May/7 (Kedri) : We've also just posted a mirror for the file here at Massassi.

Update 3 May/7 (Hideki) : On this very topic, we have recieved a mail from Raven Software that the page for the patch is now available at Lucasarts website.
The list of changes can be found here posted by a Raven developer, but the lucasforums system seems to kick non-logged-in users when the server is busy, so I guess take a look at the page on lec site mentioned above for instant access.
It includes 4 new multiplayer maps as well, so it's a hot update to get, and since it doesn't have backward compatibility for multiplayer, you should get it.

The updated server software will be posted soon.

Small Patch Conflict w/ Addon Level - Takimoto @ 5:40 PM
I recieved this tidbit of info from G. Gentry:
Warning to those who who've downloaded Jester's fine Star Destroyer Hanger level. If you have it placed ready for play and have installed the patch, the new Duel_Hanger Level in the patch will show up as Jester's level and not as Ravens/LucasArts newly designed one. I stumbled across this when I went to look at the new levels. Think a basic solution to the problem will be to rename Jester's level. However I got some email from Jester saying his updated level can be found on his own site: http://www.planetquake.com/jesterspaz/
So, if this applies to you, make sure you check it out.

Rbots needs help - Hideki @ 6:51 PM
Rbots, a JK/MotS bot modification team has been short on developers recently. Here's what the current leader has to say.
I'm looking into getting a team of about 4 developers together to fix the bugs with Rbots and improve upon (if possible) what we have already.

Anyone interested should have experience working with COG and leave their email address on the forums with (if possible) links to any of their previous work. Depending on the response we might have a new version of Rbots on the way.
So, if you still edit JK/MotS and interested in writing some code for bot AI, visit the forum and help them out.

Although there were a lot of submissions that didn't follow the Submission Guidelines, there were even more that quite clearly were not even near completion or were in beta states (as admitted to by the authors).

The place for an author to get comments about a project that he or she is working on is the Showcase Forum. Please do not submit alpha or beta versions of your levels in an attempt to get suggestions. Thank you.
Version 1.03 Saber Guide - Takimoto @ 1:14 AM

TXH HQ Removed - ThreeDee @ 8:57 AM
The Jedi Knight Multiplayer level, "TXH HQ" has been removed from Massassi, as it was just the level Jedi High School, but with new textures. I don't know why this has to be repeated so many times, but please folks, don't ever submit another author's work as your own. It's called plagiarism.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: The Great Mountain Temple - ThreeDee @ 9:59 AM
File: The Great Mountain Temple
Author: Wired (Fredrik Isaksson)
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This map is meant to resemble a temple, an aztec temple actually, as for how well I managed that I don't know since I had no reference material to look at but I'm somewhat pleased with what I managed to make.

As you will notice, this map is a bit lager than a usual dueling map. This offers you different ways to do battle. Not only by giving you a number of different spots to battle but also in the way you are going to act. Will you run away and hide until you can heal or will you stay and get burnt by that nasty looking lightsaber?

As for the flow of the battle I don't think it'll be a problem, although the map is bigger than usual there aren't that many places to hide, and even if you manage to hide, your opponent can see most of the map from the top of the temple.

It's Saber and Force only, it's a dueling map after all.

New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Duel_Vengeance - ThreeDee @ 10:29 AM
File: Duel_Vengeance
Author: Belial
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: It is a medium-sized duel map, no weapon spawns as I didn't find that it lent itself to the map. The arena is over 2 floors, the lower having most of the powerups..but being the more treacherous of the two. I haven't included bot support in this map, they work great 50% of the time when I do the botroutes but when they respawn they turn into kangeroos.

It is possible to access the bottom, second, and roof parts of the building. There are no bot paths or gun placements in this level. I believe you will find it quite a nice setting for saber fighting. I have found that it is best for 2 to 8 players. It is heavily lighted by colored lighting and takes place outside at night time. Thanks for taking the time to access this!

New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Old Republic Temple - mscbuck @ 5:15 PM
File: Old Republic Temple
Author: Olof Mörck
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Multiplayer duel map with music and bot support.I decided to make a map with strong focus on architecture, yet with more varied fighting grounds than my last map. All areas are accessible with no force. You can jump around among the rocks outside the temple, but a faulty step will quickly lead to your death. This age-old Jedi temple is located in mighty mountains of Kejim. It is a relic of the Old Republic, a time of war between the Jedi and the Sith, the epic struggle of good and evil. This holy temple was both used as a place of tranquillity, and a place where Padawans were made Jedis. These sacred training grounds has now been rediscovered by the new Republic, and has once again been made a sparring ground for the peacekeepers of the Republic.

  1. You did not follow the submission guidelines properly

Raven JO Server & Saber Tweak - Takimoto @ 1:10 AM
Kenn Hoekstra of Ravensoft sent us the following JO news:

Friday, May 17th, 2002 - A few things for the weekend:

1. Our master server for Jedi Outcast will be out tomorrow (Saturday) morning from 9am CST to approximately 1pm, depending on how our network maintenance goes. Just so you know. Originally it was slated for last week Saturday, but had to be delayed.

2. For those of you unhappy with the increased saber blocking in CTF and FFA modes in the 1.03 patch for Jedi Outcast, you can turn off the changes by setting the CVAR g_saberTraceSaberFirst to "0" in your server configs. Setting this to "1" = More Blocking, "0" = Less Blocking. It defaults to "1" in 1.03.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

As I was going through the levels account deleting all the irrelevant e-mails and Klez viruses, I noticed a few e-mails that were sent to a specific level poster. I'd just like to ask authors not to do that, unless otherwise told. Sometimes, some of us aren't able to access our e-mail accounts, so if a message is sent to me or one of the other level posters while our computers are down, we can't post it.

Questions and Concerns Regarding Levels - ThreeDee @ 6:00 PM
I would just like to point out a couple of things in response to recent events surrounding Yoda's House: Special Edition.
  1. If you have an issue with a level or want to give some feedback, do not send it to the person who posted the level. Either use the level comment system, or e-mail the level's author.
  2. If your level was removed, do not e-mail a level poster about it. Instead, send your question either to a specific Massassi administrator (not level poster) or to the staff at staff@massassi.net. Removing a level is a decision made by the admins, not the level posters.

File Posting - blujay @ 9:28 PM
Well, a few weeks ago we had a backlog of over 100 MB of files to be posted, and thanks to ThreeDee, oSiRiS, mscbuck and Skimpy, we got caught up.

But now there are over 220 MB of files waiting to be posted. I've already hired another file poster tonight--although he won't be able to post any until tomorrow--and I'm trying to find more. I hope you all can appreciate that I can't hire just anyone. With the position comes a lot of power, and I have to be able to trust the people I hire, which means I need to know them at least a little.

To top it all off, the job is not a fun one. Lots of files are submitted incorrectly, which means the submitter has basically wasted your time. It's a time-consuming and largely thankless job. Maybe I shouldn't make it sound too bad, but what I don't want are people who want a little fame taking the job, then deciding it takes too much time, and just not doing it anymore. That ends up wasting my time going through the process of hiring them, only to have to find another replacement. And remember of course, it's a volunteer job; all of Massassi is run by volunteers. The only people who make any money off Massassi are our host, and I don't even know if they are making any or not.

So, if you've read all that and still want to help, e-mail staff@massassi.net with "File Posting Application" in the subject. I cannot guarantee I will hire you, because as I said, I can't hire just anyone. I will try to respond to all the applications, but don't expect a quick reply, because I'm backlogged enough already. Thanks for your patience.

Hello everyone. I'm MaDaVentor. Though many of you already know me, I'd like to introduce myself as the newest level/news poster here at Massassi.

Story behind the level: During the time when Desann was invading the Jedi academy he became aware of a small temple called Equinoxis not far from the Jedi academy in the hills, they were said to have mysterious water that gave the power of the force. Desann sent some troops and some miners up to see this eledged place and pump the water. The storm troopers that went up to that hill were never heard from again, the strong power of force in that had driven them all mad. Each one was blood thirsty and was ready to kill any one that came in…

Description: V1.1 adds 2 new bots and fixes one very minor bug: Dark_Mega_ZZTer had a orange saber. It was SUPPOSED to be red. Well, I like Jedi Master mode, so I didn't get to see other sabers much ;). _Link007 is a bot representation of my brother. I asked him what he would have it say and I put it in there. PerfectSniper always aims perfectly, so if you aren't moving he will always hit you. His favorite weapon is the Disruptor Rifle, although I don't think bots use the secondary fire :(. I added a list similar to the one in JO's readme.txt to showcase the bot stats. I am very pleased that v1.0 was received so well... I will go on to make a weapon/force tweak next (details buried in readme). Have fun!

It is not an exact replica of the level, for the original was just a bridge and nothing else. Added walls and stuff to make it look cooler. The drop off the bridge is an amazing 2.6km.

Rbots Needs Help - blujay @ 3:18 PM
James Bond, the current overseer of Rbots, is making one last call for help with Rbots:
This is the last call for anyone interested in helping out with improving Rbots. If we are unable to find at least one more person who is willing to help Strike1337 it is likely I will call an end to improving the Rbots code. I can't expect Strike1337 to take sole responsibility for fixing the bugs. On a brighter note however, it is likely that there might be some new converted LEC levels on the way thanks to C_Jedi. Anyone interested in helping out in the bug fixing should post on the Rbots forum or e-mail me soon.
So, if you'd like to help out, give him a call.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Cirrus Temple - MaDaVentor @ 3:21 PM
File: Cirrus Temple
Author: Paul S. Joseph (Element_JKnight)
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A long forgotten temple of the Sith, positioned high in the clouds of the gas giant Yavin. This is my first attempt at a real decent level. It consists of a large temple with a complete exterior and interior. The interior is based on a test map I first made for JO. I tweaked it a little and added an exterior plus a rooftop. This map is good for FFA, Jedi Master, and team games. There are also two duel maps that consist of just the inside and just the rooftop. Bots are highly discouraged, for they are too stupid to climb back to the top of the level and always fall off ledges. This map is great for cat and mouse. There is a lot of dark areas and long stretches along the outside for sniping.

New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Duel River of Blood 2 - oSiRiS @ 9:30 PM
File: Duel River of Blood 2
Author: Wazzit
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: The River of Blood Tournament continues, with this year's Tournament taking place in the ruins of an ancient Jedi battle ground where many Jedi's blood has been spilt. The temple was built thousands of years ago by three Sith Lords seeking to increase their skills in the power of the force by extensive training and dueling. Before they were unable to unleash their power upon the galaxy, the Jedi Council found out about it, and sent three equally powerful Jedi to stop it. The Jedi were able to defeat all three sith lords, but at the cost of two of the Jedis. A memorial was built for the slain Jedi and the three Sith Lords were buried near the temple by order of the Jedi Council. Now thousands of years later the ancient temple's flames have been lit, and life now breathes through the river once again. The tournament of River of Blood has begun once more.

Reading is good - MaDaVentor @ 4:04 PM
It's my second day on the job, and I've already seen disturbing amounts of maps and mods which have been submitted incorrectly! IF YOU ARE GOING TO SUBMIT A FILE TO MASSASSI, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST! If you do not submit properly, there is a good chance that your file will in fact not be posted at all, so this is very important! Thank you for your time.

Author: SuperNerd_IJ
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Super Nerd, creator of bad levels and skins. And now you can play as him! It took me 2 or three days to make, and add Bot support and Team color support. I couldn't edit models, so he dosent have cape right now, and the boots look bit goofy. But, all in all, I think its a good skin for the first try. View the readme for "how it fits in star wars" information.
Thank you, new guys! - mscbuck @ 4:55 PM
We should all give thanks to our new level posters, oSiRiS, MaDaVentor, and ThreeDee. They have shown great responsibility with the levels and the posting of them. I've been dealing with *gasp* real life lately. Lots of basketball practices and finals are coming up. It all ends next week Wednesday, so I'll be able to contribute a lot more than I have been able to. Again, thank you new guys!

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Barons Hed Saber Training Series Level Pack - ThreeDee @ 1:54 PM
File: Barons Hed Saber Training Series Level Pack
Author: JKDude
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: These are my final 3 levels that I am releasing to Massassi.
    - Barons Hed Saber Training SE - Updated version of my original.
    - Barons Hed Saber Training II SE - Same as above.
    - Barons Hed Saber Training III - This is the last installment, not previously released.
The first two levels can be found on Massassi, but they are not the "updated" versions. The first BHST 1 & 2 were never intended for SBX, but in the reviews I got from the Massassi comments on my level, everyone thought it was the best SBX level. So I worked from there to update them with better texturing and overall atmoshpere. I hope everyone enjoys these three levels so I can leave JK editing with at least some pride. :)
P.S. The screenshots are from BHSTSE 1 and 2.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Haven of Shadows - Skimpy @ 11:42 PM
File: Haven of Shadows
Author: BigCarm
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: The shadows have finally found their true keep. It is set on a snowy canyon crevice, bordering a small palace, which is the entrance to an intricate labyrinth of mysteries and dangers. Beware, for the shadows guide, trap, and mislead the thoughts of travelers who trod upon this harrowed soil. Know yourself, and know your limits.

(NOTE TO PLAYERS: Haven of Shadows is an absurdly large arena in which players must hunt their adversaries down, rather than simply shoot/swing at opponents for thirty minutes. It is definitely not a level for those who are afraid of the dark.)
