Our hosted site Millennium has updated with a tutorial on the structure of a cog which you can find here. Due to our recent problems with email, this is a little late in being posted.

Description: The tiny planetary system of Freedma has long been known for its sophisticated weapon designs. Now a deadly rumor is racing throughout the galaxy at the speed of hyper-drive. They have succeeded in designing a weapon capable of the destruction of an entire star system. Freedma's top military research facility has already been besieged by agents from every star system that ever dreamed of galatic conquest. Now events have taken an even darker turn: the regional governor has dispatched a brigade of Imperial forces to Freedma under the pretense of, "keeping the peace".

In the spirit of DCM, I figured I'd add a link to some other Star Wars humor on the net. Star Wars Captions: This is a weekly updated captions contest at StarWars.com. Check it out!

My note two days ago that the email had been restored was based on false information. The email for the entire site and all our hosted sites is still down. All forum administrator applications have been lost. If you need to contact me, please email brian@massassi.org (note the .org extension).

I am shocked at what happened today..I am absolutly speechless. There is a way to help if your 18 or older. If you wanted to do anything to help, here is your chance. You can call Red Cross Blood Donation Center at 1-800-448-3543 to donate your blood.( you must be 18 ).This is a tragic event, and people need all the help they can get.

I'm sure everyone's heard by now, but just in case... The United States suffered a massive terrorist attack this morning. Commercial jets were hijacked and purposefully crashed into the World Trade Center, which subsequently collapsed, and the Pentagon, which suffered minor damage in comparison. Each tower of the WTC was hit by separate jets, and the pentagon was hit by a 3rd one. A 4th jet was reportedly hijacked but crashed in a nearly deserted area of Pennsylvania. You can find more news on virtually any site on the internet. There's really not much more to say - I would give anything to be in a position to do something about this.

The long wait is finally over! The 0.31 alpha version for Jedi Knight is now released and available for download. The file size now weighs in at a hefty 5.8Mb, but I assure you, it's worth it.

Here's a quick list of the new features:

• Force powers! - Bots can now use all JK force powers - light, dark or both!
• Bot characteristics - each bot is configurable to which force powers to use
• All levels now support No Force or Full Force
• Vastly improved saber fighting
• Huge range of improvements and bug fixes - see the 'changes.txt' for the full list

Next on the list is the MotS version, a whole new SDK and updated tutorials. Check out the Rbots website for further details.

Well I rebuilt all the accounts - if you have an account and are having problems logging in, please send me an email. As for forum administration applications - if you sent it after 2PM Pacific today, I didn't get it so you'll have to resend.

Apparently our host deleted all email accounts and is reinstalling the email server. Why they didn't let everyone check their mail before hand, I don't know. Anyway, all email accounts for Massassi and our hosted sites are currently down and all email is lost. I will work to rebuild all the accounts and I will post a note here when things are back to normal.

In an effort to whip this site back into shape, you may have noticed that quite a few new staff members are being brought aboard. This time, I'm looking specifically for a forum administrator. Please note I said administrator and not moderator, although moderation will be part of the required duties. Basically, I'm looking for someone that can respond to all email we get about the forums. This usually consists of reports of abuse (for threads the current moderators haven't caught yet, for instance), requests for passwords (often people typo the email address so the password must be looked up manually), and queries as to why a certain person has been banned. The following is a list of requirements, so please do not apply if you don't have this type of experience.

• Experience using UBB as a regular user.
• Experience using the UBB administration panel as an administrator.
• Experience using FTP in relation to UBB (to take care of problems that can't be handled via the administration panel such as looking up passwords).

In addition to these specific requirements, the following personal values are desired.

• Diligence in following up every single email that comes in regarding the forums.
• Diligence in documenting all bans and action taken in our ban list system (separate from UBB).
• Strong sense of fairness and justice regardless of personal feelings towards certain people (IE: just because you don't like a person is no reason to be unfair in handling forum issues).
• An understanding of our forum rules, why they are there, and an agreement with at least most of them.
• The ability to enforce even the rules you don't agree with.

Although this job doesn't take as much time as our other typical jobs (news and level posting, for instance), it is nevertheless a very important position. The ideal candidate should be able to check the forums email address at the very least once per day and have an average turn-around of no more than 24 hours. This position has a 30 day trial period - if you join the team and don't perform your duties adequately within in the first 30 days, we will choose someone else.

If you feel you have the experience, time, and energy for this volunteer position, please send an email to me with the following information. If you leave anything out, your application will not be considered.

1. The name or nickname you use and would like displayed on our pages.
2. The email address you will use to handle forum email (all "forums@massassi.net" email will be forwarded to an address you specify during the first month - if, after that, you are still on staff, you will be issued an @massassi.net email address if you want one).
3. A description of your previous experience regarding UBB administration, FTP, and any previous moderation experience.
4. A few sentences or a short paragraph describing why you would be the ideal candidate for this position.

Description: The fairly large world of Aduin is located in the closer reaches of the Outer Rim, just bordering Wild Space. It's tourist population (all four of them, lol) comes everly twelve millenia to see the planet's spectacular skies and geological phenomina. Due to the planet's below-standard gravity, material from the planet's relatively small surface have been able to drift up into the outer reaches of the planet's atmoshpere, making landing on the surface extremely difficult. There's the story, now here's the details:

I've been seeing multiple versions of what I categorise as the '3do hopper'. These have had the potential to be interesting (as mine strives for but most likely fails at), but have become increasingly not so interesting. I did this in under 2 hrs, ok? So give me a break, I was trying to prove that the 3do hopper CAN look fairly interesting.

It seems like we've been hit with a data bug similar to the year 2000 bug. Basically, we store all our dates in unix timestamps which are simply long integers equal to the "number of seconds since January 1, 1970." Apparently MySQL (the database we use to power most of the site) choked when it went from 999999999 to 1000000000. Hopefully a new version of this popular database software will be released shortly, but until then, please bear with us. This could possibly affect level sorting by date, news, "recent" lists (such as the EC), and other date specific areas.

Hi everyone. I'm Backslash, most of you should know me if you visit #massassi frequently. Apparently my application of the "Level Poster Ray" on the guys here at Massassi worked, and they've got me hooked up here to help give you guys more levels to play. Hopefully I'll meet up to the requirements needed without failure, or something professional like that. See ya around.

I would like you all to welcome our new level posters. These people should be pretty solid when it comes to level posting.

Also on a side note to those who sent in applications. You are still being considered if one of the new guys is not dependable.

Please do not send anymore applications. If we run out of possible people then we will let you know. So just sit tight and enjoy the new levels.

Before I go, those who submit levels please make it easy on the new recruits by following all the submission guidelines. Thankyou.

Rob

Description: You are James Ward, an ex-special forces agent currently working security for Project Blackwind, a biological weapon in its first stages of development that's so secret few top government officials know of its existance. One day everything goes wrong when an odd terrorist attack cripples Facility C5-025 and permantally delays Project Blackwind. Luckily, you were in the basement of the facility at the time of the attack. These terrorists have somehow changed all the passwords on the doors and turned all the security measures against you.

This is my first level I've released, so if there's something in the level that you didn't like, be kind.
