New Jedi Knight Mod: GCW Character Pack -
File: GCW Character Pack
Author: Tyler "TIE" North
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This used to be hosted only on the Galactic Civil War mod homepage, which I guess went down with Jedinights.com a few months ago...so here it is for Massassi if anyone needs it.
What it is, is the "Character Pack" for my Galactic Civil War mod, which was released in early 2003. To use GCW, you need a character pack. The one that comes with the "Base" mod (see link) contains only the original JK multiplayer characters. When I released GCW, I made 3 additional character packs and posted them only on my "official" site: An Episode I pack, an Episode II pack, and an OT/EU pack. I also posted a huge character pack which included everyone from each pack...this "All Characters" pack is the only one I still have, so you'll have to settle with it. (Hopefully I didn't tinker with it in the last 2 years, and it should still work fine.)
(See the link to the GCW Base mod for more info.)

New Massassi Server Status -
Back in December I promised a new Massassi server. Well it's here. I've transferred all the files over, and as a matter of fact all level downloads are being served from the new server (you might notice the massassi.org in the download URL). I'd be interested in hearing whether the speed is up to par with our current hosting. I am in the process of making all the scripts on the new server work. Once that is done, I will get a final database dump from recon, import it into the database on the new server, then switch the DNS. I'll keep you posted.

New Server -
Welcome to the new server. Please stop using old bookmarks to Massassi.net until we get the DNS transferred over. There are bound to be some issues, if you find any, please drop me a line.
Server Issues -
I'm about to make some pretty sweeping permissions changes on all our files, so if you notice anything wonky in the next few hours, please ignore it. After that, if it's still there, please let me know.
Oh, I am also working on the time zones... please be patient.

Forums Moved -
The forums have been moved over, and you can temporarily find them at http://forums.massassi.org/. Once the DNS is transferred, you will be able to find everything at its regular place.
