Mats Section Going Strong - Brian
I just wanted to point out that the old mats have all been moved over to the new mats section. There are also a TON of new mats, a lot of which are by Tee, creator of the recently released Necropolis (was that recent?). Anyway, here's a message from u2canBcool, our new mat section admin... I'll post it till I can find time to set him up in the news script.
By the way, I'd just like to tell ya that Tee has been pumping out all kinds of mats. I get some of his mats posted, check the e-mail, and there are more! That's the way it should be! So, a big thanks to Tee for all the mats he's been sending in! Later!

New Mat Download Section - Brian
After over two years of using the same old textures, aren't you tired of 'em? I certainly am - and that's the reason I've revamped our mats section. Right now there aren't many textures (if any at all), but I've got a new staff member who's going to take the section over.

It would be a great service to the community if all you texture artists would submit your custom textures! The new section can't be successful without community input. We will strive to add mats as quickly as they come in (we hired on a new person just for the mats section).

So where do you submit your textures? I haven't updated the submission instructions yet, but for now you can send them to mats@massassi.net. Note: Please send an email with the following items, or we can't post the texture.

  • Mat file in zip (http://www.winzip.com) format.
  • A small screenshot in jpg format.
  • The colormap the mat was designed for.
  • The name you want displayed on the mat page.
  • The email address you want displayed on the mat page.
  • What "category" you think it belongs in. We just have a few samples listed, so we need ideas for more categories. Just let us know what category it should go in.
  • A brief description of the mat.

Another script finished... Now that that's done, I can concentrate on getting the MPG IP board script updated (finally). I'm also going to add a live chat room soon (it's almost done, mentioned before, still trying to get some decent IRC servers).

Rike, from over at Force Commander Outpost, was kind enough to go through our links section and delete a ton of the broken links - Thanks Rike. He's also working on updated our JK and MotS info sections. I don't know how many people actually visit those pages, but they're out of date (as they have been from the time they were written).

In case you care, things are going pretty well for me. I'm well into the planning stage of my next big project. Interested? I'm not going to say anything about it, other than the fact that it should be ready for launch in about 2 months (trying to give myself enough time to pull everything together). Seems like every script I write is easier and faster than the one before. I still don't like programming, but if something needs to be done...

Speaking of projects, this one has nothing to do with the afore mentioned stuff, but The Massassi Network's SWO site is also in development. I've seen a preliminary design, and I must once again praise Kedri's work. In case you care, he did the design for FC Outpost as well as all the artwork on the MPG. He's also worked on some other projects that haven't quite seen the light of day (and it's still up in the air whether they will or not), but suffice it to say, his work is simply amazing.
