Massassi mentioned in July 2002 issue of CG Magazine - oSiRiS @ 7:34 AM
Massassi was mentioned in the July 2002 issue of Computer Games Magazine, on page 89. Or more specifically, Ugnaught Wars II was. Here's the quote:
Check back next month for feature coverage of mods for Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but for now, download Master David's Ugnaught Wars II from The Massassi Temple and fire up the original Jedi Knight. This mod makes it possible to go through the original story as an ugnaught, the gnome-like alien mechanics first seen on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back. Unlike many one-note jokes, this one stays funny for a while. Nice touches, such as using a wrench in place of a lightsaber, altering the story and cutscenes to better suit a three-foot-tall hero, and subbing in Bob Saget for the evil Jedi master Jerec, make the mod laugh-out-loud funny at times.
The file can be found here.

CTF_Vendetta Bug Fix - Takimoto @ 12:52 PM
I just recieved this news from myself that CTF_Vendetta has been updated. Here's what I said:
I realized that I'd accidentally been using a texture from a different addon level, because Radiant pulls from all *.pk3 files available in your base folder. So, there was a texture bug in the center of the level. This update fixes that and adds a nicer load screen.

Missing Levels - Rob @ 8:52 PM
I've noticed that the levels e-mail is completely empty. This comes as no shock seeing as how we have like 5 new level posters. However, there were 60 e-mails waiting to be downloaded just the other day, and less than 20 new levels have been posted since then. This means someone has downloaded the majority of the e-mails from the account.

So, in other words, if you submitted something, and it isn't posted today or tomorrow, please resend it following the submission guidelines to the button. Also notice the rules for submitting between Jedi Knight/ Mysteries of the Sith levels, Jedi Outcast levels, and Skins for Jedi Outcast are slightly different. Be sure to take note of this.

Thank you all, for your cooperation and patience.

CTF_Vendetta Fixed Again - Takimoto @ 3:00 AM
I'm really sorry to do this, but I found another texturing bug in my CTF_Vendetta level. It stemmed from Radiant pooling all available textures from currently installed addon levels. I'd accidentally used a simple glowing white texture from some other level, so it looked fine when I loaded it because it referenced this other level to get the texture. However, when this other level was not present, it created an error. So, I've finally rooted out all the problems. It's now completely bug free. Here is the fixed version of the level. Please overwrite the older version with this. Thanks!

New Jedi Outcast Mod: Unofficial 1.04 Patch Mod - blujay @ 5:31 AM
File: Unofficial 1.04 Patch Mod
Author: Raven Software
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: nova compiled the source code that was released by Raven in the second release of the JK2 editing tools, which is what Raven wanted the 1.04 patch to be. So this is basically an unofficially-released 1.04 patch for JK2, with no changes made except those by Raven. Of course, anyone could download the JK2 editing tools and compile the source code that comes with it, but this way it's done for you, and everyone can download this "U104 mod" and play it.

Note: This is packaged as a mod, not an installable patch. This means that you can put this PK3 file in your base directory and still join 1.03 games. It's like skins or levels in that if you have it, but the server doesn't, it will simply be ignored.
Thread for U104 Mod - blujay @ 5:39 AM
If you'd like to discuss the U104 mod, I made this thread for it. Is it better than 1.03? Does it make JO the game it should be? Post your impressions.

JO strategy guide - Rob @ 11:48 AM
Got this e-mail this morning from Josh "Kerbuffel" Sywulek. Heres what he has to say:
Captured.com has just posted our massive Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast CTF Strategy Guide. This thing is huge! It's got over thirty pages of content, with complex breakdowns and strategies for the weapons, force powers, and lightsaber. There are explanations of the items and acrobatic moves.And then there's the map guides.
It looks very comprehensive to me, check it out here.

New Jedi Outcast Skin: Nometh Mantera - Rob @ 1:30 PM
File: Nometh Mantera
Author: King Jezuz Pie
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: In young years Nometh Mantera joined the imperial navy because he wanted to be a pilot. As his parents were not very rich, the Empire was his only chance to fulfil his plans. During the time in the navy he soon recognized his outstanding flight abilities. He quickly became a high ranked officer and was spezialized for secret projects. After the destruction of the second Death Star he served the Remnants for some years. But he already knew that his unusual abilities and strong will power were not normal. So he joined the Jedi Academy, where he was learned to use the force very quickly. He was strong with the force. One day he watched a training fight between a trainer and a fellow student. The apprentice was not able to control his powers. Nometh sensed his dark intentions, but he did not interude the fight, so the apprentice could eventually strike down his teacher. Nometh recognized his fault and immediately ran up to his fellow and defeated him in a rather short fight. Knowing that he could have saved the teachers life, he left the academy to become what he is now:

A man, incredibly strong with the force, neither a jedi, nor a sith. He makes his living through being a bounty hunter or overtaking other jobs where his abilities could be useful.

Server Change and Personal Note - mscbuck @ 8:58 AM
Hey everybody! Massassi has just recently had a server change, so the levels FTP might not work. Therefore, we will not be able to post your files. So, if your level does not get posted, it'll be up soon. Also, on a personal note, I'm back. My computer completely died a week ago. So for the past few days, I've been fixing up my computer and loading Windows XP. Now I'm finally finished, so I'll be here for your level posting needs.

This file package actually includes two skins: one from before the fight scene (with costume intact), and one from after (when her outfit is ripped and her back scraped). I took some slight liberties with the design, due to the constraints of the model I was using (Tavion). Both skins include multiplayer red and blue team versions, as well as icons for the character selection menu.

New Jedi Outcast Mod: Hydroball - blujay @ 6:53 PM
File: Hydroball
Author: Kirt
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: New gameplay mode: Hydroball. Compete against other players in an underwater game. Fists will be your only weapon while in the arena, and alt fire while holding a direction will allow you to tackle or side-burst. While in the arena, your health will always be full - when you take damage, use force power, do a special move (including tackles), or move while carrying the ball, your stamina will drain. While in posession of the ball you cannot use tackle moves, and primary fire will charge the ball to throw (the longer the charge, the further it goes, up to 4 seconds) instead of punching. Great music included for during the game and while waiting to begin. Also included are instructions for creating your own Hydroball maps.

Note: Be sure to install the Hydroball patch.

Level of the Week - Brian @ 2:36 AM
In chat yesterday evening, Pommy suggested that Level of the Week be voted on by you, the visitors of the site. So now, on each level information page, you will find a link that allows you to vote for level of the week. You are allowed to vote once per week. Levels can only be level of the week once. Thus, the site now keeps track of which levels are level of the week (it starts now, so any previous levels of the week are still valid). Once a few levels have been featured in this new system, we will have a level of the week archive page. Get your votes in now, they will be tallied every weekend starting Saturday!

By the way: no, I don't work here. No, I'm not coming back. I was bored and I thought it was a good suggestion, so I asked blujay if he'd be interested.

Update: You must be registered in the level commenting/rating system (or the EC - it's the same user database) to vote.

New Jedi Knight Mod: Randsaber Beta 7 - kak @ 9:47 PM
File: Randsaber Beta 7
Author: XxCHAoSxX
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: The lightsaber: Fire one is swing with 42 randomized saber animations at a quick rate. They leave light motion trails in a style that has never been done before, and it slows you down to swing. Fire two changes color. Anything else saber-related is a randomized block animation. Lockon: Just like in the leaked beta of TDIR. Uses fieldlight. Agility: On the ground, forward and agility is a high jump, backward and agility is a handspring. If you jump, though, nothing and agility is a regular old WoW wallrun. If you go any direction pressing jump and agility is a flip in that direction, and if you hit a wall or ceiling feet first, you will run on it. Observer Mode: This makes you put away your gun, or hold your deactivated saber. It gives you god mode, while draining all of your mana (which recharges fairly quickly), disabling healing, and disabling all attacks. Physics: You jumphigher and run faster. Enhanced GFX: I never saw much wrong with LEC's bullets, so I brightened the colors and gave them white cores.

Now walks with saber raised, for effect while dueling.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Shinra Mansion - Pommy @ 10:31 AM

Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a relatively large multi player level based on the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim from Final Fantasy VII. It has a fenced in outside and several areas inside for fighting with either sabers or guns as well. It is almost exactly structured like the level from the game, but there are a few artistic liberties taken. Also, I cleared out most of the junk on the floors in order to make room for dueling. There is a secret room only accessable with force and guns. I don't expect you to find it without considerable effort, but it will be worth it when you do. The roof is also accessable with level 2 jump. This level should be fun for both fans of the game and just regular Jedi Outcast players. This level also includes music and full bot support. Hope you like it and good luck with the secret!

Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: I got kind of bored one day and was watching Saving Private Ryan so I figured why not make some WW2 skins (since I got a lot of grief about my first skin, the overused reborn model). All the textures, with the exception of the hands, are either brand new or retouched. The only thing that is different between skin colors is the helmet. I did this to reduce file size. I did the best I could with the Bespin Guard model to show pockets and straps, granted if I had 3d Studio Max I'd have done a better job with it. Have fun, play hard, and enjoy!

JM, a crazy Massassi regular, wanted me to plug his caffinated Jedi Outcast editing page called Coffee Stain. He's currently looking for a little better host than Geocities. But don't let his current hosting situation fool you, when it comes to editing, JM knows his stuff. Check out his site here:

Forum E-mail Problems - blujay @ 6:56 PM
I have received some reports of problems with forum e-mail, such as password retrieval. I do not know the cause of this problem yet, but I will look into it. Thanks for your patience.

Update: I don't know what is causing this, but I have contacted our host about it. It will probably be tomorrow at the earliest before they can get to it.

If you have registered and not gotten the e-mail, or tried to recover your password and not gotten the e-mail, all I can say is, please be patient. Thanks.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Nar Shaddaa Loading Terminal - ThreeDee @ 12:01 AM
File: Nar Shaddaa Loading Terminal
Author: Claxon
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Based on the original Loading Terminal map from Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, this map has a fun layout with many routes around the level. Aside from the standard weapons, there are traps that can be activated by players (perhaps a strategy in CTF games?) and force fields. Although it was based on the original Nar Shaddaa Loading Terminal map as much as possible, alterations had to be made due to the changes in game engine and features, but hopefully it will retain the enjoyment factor.
- Suitable for most multiplayer game types (Holocron not supported, Duel matches can turn out to be more of hide and seek but that's how I began to love this map anyway).
- Bots are supported.
New Jedi Outcast Editing Site - Takimoto @ 1:52 AM
Kevin Watters has started a Jedi Outcast editing site. He's got a few tutorials up, and is working on a few more. I thought since he plugged WiredLamp, which I recently joined, I'd plug his site. ;)

New Jedi Outcast Mod: JK2++ (Beta 3) - Takimoto @ 3:59 PM
File: JK2++ (Beta 3)
Author: [WD]Rage and [WD]ToRMeNt
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Some new features have been added since the last version (Beta 2):

1. Admin features allowing renaming and slapping people.
2. Ammo increase for rocket launcher
3. Weapons now can be picked up and used for ammo if already having the weapon in the inventory.
4. More force tweaks.
5. More weapon tweaks.

Many other things are still in consideration for JK2++ (hence the beta 3).  Currently, the mod can be played at 146.20.43.203.  There are no screenshots for this mod.

Editor's Note: This mod sounds pretty interesting. I know I've been wishing for awhile that you could pickup weapons as ammo, like in the original Jedi Knight.
German Fyyar Skin Removed - Takimoto @ 4:26 PM
The Jedi Outcast skin German Fyyar has been removed because it contained stolen textures from the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Please people, don't borrow/steal/lift work from other games or other addons without the permission of the author(s). I don't know how many times we've had to say this, but I'm saying it again: If you didn't make it, don't use it!

New Jedi Outcast Mod: Swords - Iceman @ 11:02 PM
File: Swords
Author: Sephiroth__VII
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This Mod replaces the lightsabers with swords.  There are 4 swords including, the Buster Sword (Cloud's Sword from FF7), Caladbolg (Tidus's Sword from FFX), Ninja Sword (From Metal Gear Solid), a Shadow Sword that i just made up, and an Axe.  This mod includes sword sounds too. This mod is ment for people who dont like lightsabers that much, and just play the game for the sword fighting (like me), or if u just like swords. Unfortantly i couldnt make it so u could switch the swords in the game so you have to switch the files out of the game inorder to do so.

Ancient Saber Mod Updated - Takimoto @ 12:06 AM
Wanderer emailed us and asked that we update his Ancient Saber mod with this new fixed version. He said:
Hi! I get very many e-mails from people who can't install my ancientsaber-mod because they don't know how. I told already in the comments section that they have to put an 'x' before the name otherwise JO will overwrite the mod but they don't read it.
So, I downloaded the file one more time, unpacked it, renamed the 'ancientsaber.pk3' into 'Xancientsaber.pk3' and re-zipped it with the readme file.
You can get the updated file here:

Forum E-mail Problems - blujay @ 3:59 AM
I keep getting e-mails asking about the forum e-mail for new registrations, forgotten passwords, etc. I just posted about this the other day, but I guess people don't read everything.

As I said before, I don't know why this problem is occuring. I e-mailed our host, ReconGamer, but they have not replied yet. Until they do, there is nothing I can do about it. Please be patient. Thanks.

New MotS Multiplayer Level: TPMTC's Mos Espa - Cool Matty @ 1:01 PM
File: TPMTC's Mos Espa
Author: Darth J
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a pretty large MP level set in a section of the sprawling Mos Espa Spaceport.  This level is the only remaining level from TPMTC that I have come across, but as I find more, I'll do my best to submit them as soon as possible.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to put the last touches on this level, such as weapon and item placement, so this is effectively a Sabers Only level.  It's highly recommended that you play this level with a mod like SBX.  A ton of blood and sweat went into this level, so I hope it's well recieved.  Enjoy!
