Smith Website Move & v2.22 Released -
The Smith website has moved to: https://smith.bah.wtf/
Smith is a modern re-implementation of the Jedi Knight Engine. It includes numerous enhancements over the original such as direct integration with Ned, an enhanced version of Jed. I've previously posted about the 3d Screenshot functionality but there have been quite a few updates since then. Version 2.22 can be downloaded from the new site above.
If you have previously downloaded Smith you will need to download it again if you want auto-updates to work.

File: APG_Deathmatch_Castle
Author: Alfred Potter Guitar
Description: Deathmatch map set in a castle and its surrounding grounds, featuring multiple areas of combat. Includes secrets, traps, and defensible bunkers. Best suited for 4 to 6 players. Intended as a guns map, but the center is perfect for saber battles.

Massassi's Official First Soul Contract is Hereby Cancelled -
This post serves as public notice that after over 20 years, The Massassi Temple's very first official soul transfer, dated April 13, 2001, has been cancelled. Any other written contracts are still in place. Return of -ian souls is handled on a case-by-case basis. Please direct any questions or concerns to me directly.
JK Arena Site Restored -
The JK Arena site has been restored. It is now hosted on a subdomain but all the original content is there. This is probably only useful for nostalgia or on the off chance anyone else wants to make a JK Arena level (it includes the dev kit and instructions). If you can't see it right away, don't worry, your DNS just needs time to update.

TACC and Rbots Moved to New Server -
Both The Admiral's Command Chamber and Rbots have been moved to our new server. If you notice any new problems, please let me know.
Many of the internal links on the Rbots site were broken, those have been fixed.
Many of the downloads on the Rbots site have been broken for years, but thanks to JKDF2.NET (JKLE_Cougar) and rezer, most of them have been restored. I am still missing the following files, so if you happen to have them on a backup drive or something, please contact me!
Update: darthslaw has provided rbotstutorials.zip and rbots-mots-sdk.zip. They will be uploaded to the rbots site soon. Thanks!

3d Preview Addition -
3d Preview is back up, on its new host. It may take a day or so for your DNS servers to be updated. When it does come back, you might notice that I enabled 3d Preview for the JK Arena levels. As always, huge thanks to Stephan Reiter for creating the 3d Preview. You can get the source here if you're interested: https://github.com/stephanreiter/jkview.
3d Preview Downtime -
I'm moving the 3d Preview to a new host. It may be down for a little while, don't panic, it will be back!
Levels Per Page -
JKLE_Cougar reminded me on our discord that the new levels section doesn't allow changing how many levels to show per page. That has now been fixed. Check it out.

Levels Can Once Again Be Sorted -
A bunch of people noticed that the files in our Levels/Maps/Mods section could no longer be sorted. This has been fixed. Please let me know if you find any other issues on the site. Thanks!

How to get Jedi Knight running on Linux -
I wrote up some instructions on getting Jedi Knight running on Linux computers. The instructions are based on Ubuntu 20.04 but will likely work with most distributions with some minor changes. Please let me know if you have problems.
This is also now linked on the Jedi Knight Information page.

Smith 2.15 released; adds "3D Screenshot" button -
Smith is a modern re-implementation of the Jedi Knight Engine. It includes numerous enhancements over the original such as direct integration with Ned, an enhanced version of Jed.
BAH_Strike announced the release of Smith 2.15 this afternoon. This version adds a "3D Screenshot" button. While you are playing, just click it to export an OBJ/MTL/TGAs dump of the world in its current state.
BAH_Strike showed off an incredible demo of this in our Discord earlier. It captures the entire state of the scene at the time you take the "screenshot." This state is exported as a 3d model that can be loaded into various 3d modeling tools.
(If you join the #massassi channel on our Discord server you can see screenshots and a video.)
If you already have Smith, it will ask if you want to auto-update.
If you don't have Smith, download the latest build directly here: https://smith.bah.wtf/Smith.exe

Welcome to the new Massassi! -
Welcome to the new version of The Massassi Temple! Almost every section of the site was updated so if you encounter any errors please report them on the forums.
I am aware that some levels aren't rendering properly in the 3dpreview. I will try to fix that this evening or tomorrow.
Improvements include:
User Account Information:
All the level comment/rating user accounts were imported, however, all passwords have been reset. If you still have access to the original email address you registered with, you can reset your password. If you don't have access to that address anymore, you can either register a new account or you can contact me and we can see if there's another way I can verify you.

Massassi Server Migration -
I'm going to be moving Massassi to a new server this weekend. Don't be alarmed if you try to access the site and it doesn't work, it should be up again within 48 hours.

End of the forums? -
Even before we started the Discord, the forums were getting essentially no activity. I'm considering shutting them down because they require really old/insecure server software to run and I'm not inclined to spend a bunch of time and money upgrading something that nobody uses. Please see this thread on the forums for more information. If the forums are important to you and you have some programming experience, read the thread for ways you could possibly help keep them open.

Announcing Jedi Knight & MotS 3D Preview -
Thanks to a very generous contribution to Massassi by Stephan Reiter, all our Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith level pages now feature a 3D Preview! This lets you poke around the levels in 3D without having to load the game. In fact, you don't even have to have the game installed.
Stephan has made the code open source so anyone can contribute and/or use it on their own. The code can be found here: jkview on Github.
Here's an example of the 3d preview in action: MLP3.
