JKPlus -
As you can probably see, I'm going through my email posting stuff that slipped through somehow. Anyway, UggBoot sent word of his latest invention, JKPlus.
Be sure to also check out JKPaint, a graphics program for Jedi Knight and MotS.
Changes JK/MotS textures to 16-bit and blurs them to reduce pixelation. This also darkens the textures making Jedi Knight look more Quake-ish.The site linked above also has screenshots showing the difference between the original textures and the converted ones.
Suggestions for other effects can be emailed to me (ugg_boot@yahoo.com), or posted in the main editing forum.
Be sure to also check out JKPaint, a graphics program for Jedi Knight and MotS.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Chester High School -
File: Chester High School
Author: Spiral
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This multiplayer level is a rendition of the highschool I actually attended. I started this level in 2001, but deleted it in 2002. I had graduated in 2002, and felt the level would never be completely finished. I was right. However, I found this level on one of my old discs the other day, and decided to work on it again. Now, living in Florida, I had nothing to base the level off of anymore, so I just blocked off the unfinished parts with doors that won't open. These include one of the gyms, a lot of class rooms, the library, and the whole 2nd floor of the old building. I figured it would be better to release at least this much, rather than nothing at all. You may notice several errors including disappearing 3DOs, and pretty much all the stairs in the level. I figured it would be too time consuming and too much trouble to go back and fix all these errors. They arn't too noticable though. And now, I present to you Chester High School!

Project Lighthouse Fixed -
The Jedi Outcast SP map, Project Lighthouse, has been reuploaded due to file corruption. If you haven't downloaded this yet, please do, it's a great single player experience! If you have downloaded it, you probably missed out on the new skin for Kyle.

New Jedi Academy Mod: StarwarsiaNewHope 1.2 -
File: StarwarsiaNewHope 1.2
Author: Teddy X
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: All those tiny details they always manage to get wrong. It's time we did something about it! Before they ruin our gameplay. Don't despair my fellow Star wars fans! There is a New Hope... StarwarsiaNewHope strives to fix many of these mistakes.
- Brighter Sabers
- No more yellow blaster bolts.
You can choose between red and green bolts for the bryar type weapons, with their corresponding sounds.
- No more manual saving.
- Force power FX/SFX tonedown
- Light & Darkside sabers. Light siders no longer use random saber colors.
- Survival Guide for when you can't save your game.
- And much more
Version 1.2 has extra features for Jedi Academy, but minimal improvements for Jedi Outcast. A completely revised Brighter Sabers mod benefits both though.

Ban Lists Cleared -
The Massassi Temple ban lists (for level commenting, EC, forums, etc.) have been completely cleared. I don't want to deny anyone the opportunity to join our discussions in this time of grief.
Rest assured that if you abuse this priviledge, you will be banned again, this time forever (I'm not joking).
Consider every altercation forgiven and please use this as a chance to redeem yourselves instead of wreaking havoc again. Please understand that while all bans have been cleared, if you post under a nickname that breaks a rule (for instance, that contains a curse word), or if you break the rules in any other way, you will be banned again.

New Jedi Academy Official Release: Jedi Academy Bonus Map Pack -
File: Jedi Academy Bonus Map Pack
Author: Raven Software
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Happy Holidays from Raven Software! Included in this map pack are 6 new MP maps (1 Duel, 1 CTF, and 4 FFA).
Once installed, new maps will appear on top of the existing ones in the map selection list. Press OK to unzip to your Jedi Academy installation folder (the default installation path is selected automatically).
These maps are released "as is" and are not supported by Raven Software, Activision, or LucasArts.
New Maps:
duel_bonus1 - Coruscant
ctf_bonus1 - Rift of Shadows
ffa_bonus1 - Gas Mine
ffa_bonus2 - The Fortress
ffa_bonus3 - Conquest of Byss
ffa_bonus4 - Ord Mantell Canyon
Unzip to your Jedi Academy Installation folder. The maps will appear at the top of the map selection menu when you host your own game in multiplayer.
Troubleshooting:
If you do not see the new maps listed in-game, ensure that the file "bonus.pk3" is located in your installation's "GameData\base" folder. The default path is "C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy\GameData\base". You will see other .pk3 files in the correct "base" folder. Simply drag and drop the "bonus.pk3" file into the correct "base" folder if it has been installed to the wrong location.

Sad News... -
Madaventor, well known for his textures and old site, The Limelite, has passed away. We were informed just recently by his friend Travis (FCTuner04).
Madaventor was diagnosed with a brain tumor about 2 and a half years ago. He had multiple surgeries, removing about 90-95% of the tumor. However, the tumor grew back, to nearly double it's original size.
4 weeks ago, his parents were informed by doctors that he only had 3 weeks to live. He was kept on strong painkillers, and was most likely in very little pain.
You can read more about it, and post your condolences here: http://forums.massassi.net/html/Forum1/HTML/031774.html
Rest In Peace, Adam.
Update: jEDIkIRBY has initiated a memorial of sorts, by making some sort of collection of all the things Adam has made and contributed to the Massassi Community.

JKArena Devkit Update -
It appears we left something entirely vital out of the original devkit. Please check the JKArena website for more information.
We've also updated the site with some information about how exactly JKArena works; it appears many of you were unclear on that issue.
And lastly, we've also created a JKArena demo example level for level authors to figure out how to implement the cogs and to figure out what JKArena is like. It's nothing spectacular, but gets the job done. It's included in the new devkit.

Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is an adaptation of ideas gathered from programs on SciFi channel and throughout the net. We've all heard about area 51 before and most of us have played games based on the premise of the base. This is a map originally made for JK2 but never released because of the arrival of JKA. It's a possible hangar located in the S-4 area of the Area 51 facilities with some 'vehicles' of unknown origin located inside. It is pure fiction, but it was fun to do.
