GameSpy's Title Fight -
GameSpy has started a competition of sorts called Title Fight! The Ultimate Gaming Grudge. The objective is, through popular voting, to determine the best games ever in a wide variety of genres. Interestingly enough, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and TIE Fighter both made it through the qualifying round of votes and into the Official Bracket (Scroll down to the 'Abandoned Base' and the 'Black Mesa' Brackets). Everyone should check it out, and vote for their favorite games, especially on March 3rd, when Marek Steele goes up against Mechwarrior 2's Timberwolf, and March 4th, when Kyle Katarn goes up against Half-Life's Gordan Freeman.
Official Republic Commando Website Now Up -
LucasArts has launched the Official Republic Commando Website.
Enter the dark military side of the Star Wars® universe as a squad leader of a Republic Special Operations unit. You are a Republic Commando. You must infiltrate deep behind enemy lines and lead your elite team on precision operations – lurking in the shadows, striking at will...This site features screenshots, concept art, and recently released details about the game. There is also a link to the trailer that debuted on the main site last year.
KotOR Editing Tools -
Kitty Kitty of StarWarsKnights.com has posted this thread containing links to Knights of the Old Republic editing utilities and resources over at LucasForums. A few people have released mods already, and the list contains download links for these as well. Anyone who is looking to try out new KotOR mods, or is thinking about making a mod themselves should definately take a look.
New Battlefront Preview Article -
Gamespot has posted a new Battlefront Preview Article that includes some new information about the game as well as 3 new screen shots. For those of you who have not heard of it yet, Battlefront is a new Star Wars game that is entirely Multiplayer, with teamplay-based combat. Players can choose to be Imperials or Rebels for original trilogy themed maps, or members of the Republic or the Seperatists for the prequel trilogy themed maps. (Think of it as a Star Wars version of Battlefield 1942.) The game is currently slated for a Fall 2004 release.
UPDATE: Gamespot has also posted a Planet Guide that details two of the locations that will be featured in Battlefront, Yavin IV and Naboo. The article also includes links to video clips of these two locations.

Out With The Old, In With The New -
You may have noticed that the Religious Forum is gone. Not to go into too much detail, but the admins decided that this would be better for the general community.
Secondly, we have a new forum, called Music Discussion and Showcase. Most everybody thought this was long overdue, so we finally caved in and made it. We hope you enjoy this.

More Fun Server Problems -
Since the server is down again, we're back to the backup server.
We'll try to find out how long these intermittent outages will last, and will bring it back when we are almost positive of extended server uptime. Until then, enjoy the backup server some more, or waste yout time in the forums. And yes, it aggravates us as much as you.
Thanks for your patience.

Massassi Fileserver online -
For now...
No word yet on why it went down again, all I know is it seems to be staying up now, at least for the moment. I won't be taking the backup server down for a day or so until I am certain it is staying up, but it is safe to assume the file server is now back, again.

Massassi Backup... Again... -
Due to the extended downtime, I've restarted the backup server. All previous rules still apply:
Also, some additional information:
The files on the FTP are totally up to date, containing every single level we have in our database. I was lucky to resynchronize the backup while the server was online. So anything within the past month is available now.
To visit the backup server, click here.
- Only 2 connections per computer/IP - Additional Connections will be denied
- No directory downloads, such as downloading the entire JO MP directory - FTP Bannable offense
- Remember, this server is for everyone. Don't abuse it.

Republic Commando -
Mr. Alias pointed out that LucasArts has released a press release regarding an upcoming PC/XBox game: Republic Commando.
Enter the dark military side of the Star Wars® universe as a squad leader of a Republic Special Operations unit. You are a Republic Commando. You must infiltrate deep behind enemy lines and lead your elite team on precision operations – lurking in the shadows, striking at will...The theme and the screenshots look absolutely amazing. I am really looking forward to this game. The press release says that the game is being developed internally by LucasArts (not farmed out to a separate developer like Jedi Outcast/Academy). Let's hope they deliver another classic like Jedi Knight. Estimated release date: Fall 2004.

Massassi Files Back Up (not) -
Update: It appears to be down again. This is really getting annoying.
Well, the files server is back up. Thanks to CoolMatty for noticing. We apologize for the delay, but there was really nothing we can do about it. Thanks to Recon Gamer for fixing it up for us.
CoolMatty: In addition, as soon as the last people finish using the backup server, I will be taking it down, and synching it with the server. So, if you have a file in download, finish it up, and disconnect. (Or just restart the download from Massassi, which is quicker) Thanks.

Massassi Files Server Update -
Well, I finally got some real information on the status of the file server. Apparently they moved the files server to a dedicated "files" machine almost two weeks ago. Then the server crashed and burned, and they are in the process of rebuilding it (apparently no files were lost). Word is the new server will be operational tomorrow, but it could take a few days for the DNS entries to propagate.

Concerning Backup Server: -
I may not have made this clear, but as this is a backup server, it has limited bandwith. Only download the levels/mods you require. Do NOT download entire directories. This has already become a problem. If someone is caught doing this, their IP will be banned from the backup server, and will have to wait until the main server comes online again. I keep a log of all connections, so please, don't make it a hassle for me, and remember, everyone has to use this server. Thank you.
(The server can be found here so you don't have to scroll down to get the link again)

SotD Image Conversion Script Fix -
Thanks to Brad (oSiRiS) for finding the problem that has made some of the Screenshot of the Day images look really whack. I kept blaming it on our server's graphics library, but in reality it was bad coding on my part. Not only did he pinpoint the problem, he wrote a script to convert all the old SotD thumbnails using the fixed method, so if you visit the SotD archives, you will see that the thumbnails are no longer messed up. Just for that, here are a couple of plugs: Visit Jedi Knight Arena | #massassi Chat Page

Massassi File Backup... -
Until our main fileserver has returned to working order, I've set up a backup server, which has the latest backup of the file server. This backup server is exactly that, a backup. It's not fully up to date (About two weeks old), and is nowhere near as fast. However, it'll hold us over until the main server comes back. We'll be sure to let everyone know when it returns, thanks for your patience.
You can access the server here (Requires FTP): http://massassiftp.sorrowind.net
Some Notes: Due to high demand, Life of Grismath, although only uploaded a day or so ago, can be found on the backup. Also, you can find instructions on how to find the level you are looking for by clicking on the link above, and going to the instructions file. It's quite hard to miss. Please, also remember, this is extremely slow, and is only offered due to extreme circumstances. Please refrain from direct linking, and we cannot provide support for it. If you can't find a file on the backup, we can't help you. Sorry.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Duel In The Sky -
File: Duel In The Sky
Author: Jeffrey Aron
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a simple Multiplayer level that I created for the use with 2 to 6 players. The level is fairly self explanatory, but basically it is set on a floating junkyard, miles above a planet's surface. There is a docking station for dueling purposes, as that is what the whole level is for. Weapons are allowed and are provided but of course the fun is in the saber battles! This is my first level so I hope that you like it, and any feedback, positive or negative, would help me greatly on building future levels. Please be kind! Thank you for trying my level.
