2003 Holiday Logo Contest - blujay @ 9:08 PM
The Massassi Temple is proud to announce the return of the annual Holiday Logo Contest, now in its fifth year!

The rules are simple, submit a holiday-themed logo (New Year's, Christmas, or any other holiday that takes place this time of year) to us at holiday@massassi.net. All tasteful logos that have a decent level of quality (in the Christmas spirit we will accept most of the ones submitted) will be rotated on our main page from December 1st until a week into the year 2004.

Logos must be 384x154, and in JPG or GIF format. Logos must be no larger than 30KB, and preferably under 20KB. GIFs must be still, not animated. You may submit as many as you like, just make sure each one is unique. Any logos deemed by us to be in bad taste will get deleted without being listed on this page. If you have any questions, please email us at the above address.

The announcement is early this year, so you have extra time to make an extra-good logo!

New Jedi Knight Single Player Level: A Jedi's True Destiny - GhostOfYoda @ 1:47 PM
File: A Jedi's True Destiny
Author: PJB
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a rather simple set of two levels for Jedi Knight. It's the start of what I hope will be a rather good TC. There is some annoying detail HOM in places on the second level, and the voice acting, architecture and cut scenes aren't that wonderful, but I put a lot of time into this, and the second level is nearly impossible as the enemies are rather hard. It's set on Nar Shaddaa.

New Jedi Academy Dedicated Servers - Brian @ 7:50 AM

Linux (file size: 1.4MB) Windows (file size: 405KB)
Jedi Academy Patch 1.01 - Brian @ 7:41 AM
Kenn Hoekstra (of Raven, of course), let us know that a patch for Jedi Academy has just been released. A mirror list is available below. Here are the changes.
Global
  • Fixed dynamic glow performance for new ATI drivers (if you are experiencing low framerate, go into Setup - More Video and change dynamic glow to off).
  • Updated EAX 4.0 sound support.
Single Player fixes
  • Force feedback defaults to off (if you are experiencing hiccupping while playing, especially during lightsaber battles, go into Controls - Mouse/Joystick and set force feedback to "No"). Note: Gravis gamepad users should turn force feedback to off. Gravis drivers aren’t compatible with Jedi Academy and will cause the game to crash. Patch will work around manufacturing defect which causes single player not to run.
  • Resetting defaults in game will no longer reset your skill level.
  • Fixed bug allowing player to select a force power that had already been maxed out.
  • Fixed animation issue if enemies force push you while executing a special move.
  • Ragdoll fixes.
Multiplayer fixes
  • Fixed bug causing Internet servers to time out too early on master server list.
  • Fixed bug causing various movement sounds not to play consistently (footsteps, rolling, etc.).
  • Fixed bug regarding turning off of second saber.
  • Fixed bug preventing camera shake if hit by explosive.
  • Fixed roll animation.
  • Fixed exploit allowing for illegal character models.
  • Fixed bug allowing rocket launcher lock-on after death.
  • Various exploit fixes.
Please note: Server admins must update their servers to the new 1.01 code. This may take a few days and 1.01 multiplayer games may be scarce until all servers upgrade to 1.01.
Finally, here is the mirror list (file size: 11MB).

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Empire Square Garden - GhostOfYoda @ 11:04 AM
File: Empire Square Garden
Author: kingnephilim
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level was modified from the single player level where you duel against Boc. The textures have been changed to give it a arena type effect, along with a landing pad to serve as a ring. Teamplay mode puts you and your teammate against a gammorean, greedo and bossk. RPG mode is great few 1 vs 1 duels in a tournament type fashion. This map is great for rivals to fight it out or for just to hanging out and watching the battle.
New Jedi Outcast Multiplayer Level: Meta Base - GhostOfYoda @ 10:59 AM
File: Meta Base
Author: Claire "Thanata" Denis (AKA MetAlieN)

Description: This map was originally intended for the "no force jump" duel (aka "serious duel") public servers, but it can be used on private servers and with "force jump" as well. It features a large flat duel floor with no obstacles, as usually prefered by the "no force" duelists.
New Jedi Knight Mod: Jango Fett Skin SE - GhostOfYoda @ 10:50 AM
File: Jango Fett Skin SE
Author: sith_master_2000
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is the Second Edition of the Jango Fett skin I made last year. Many people requested that there were more skins so here they are! Firstly, Jango has been updated to look even better (the last version if you look at the textures he had little multicoloured pixels on him. That's because when I first did it I created new images the size of JK one's and my brother came up and said it's better to just do it over the top. I was almost finished when he said that, so I just copied and pasted them over the top but they were on 24 bit colours so all the pixels appeared and I didn't know how to get rid of them). The other skins are a Blue Mandalorian and a Red Mandalorian, I will release a new pack with more but I can't think of any colours, can you guys gimmie a hand any suggestions are fine (except PINK!) I hope you like this version!

P.S. I know a lot of you guys think JK is dated but I just want to keep it alive as long as possible!

The End of an Era.... - BV @ 7:16 PM
With the change in ownership now public, the staff would like to thank Blujay for all his hard work over the last two years. We have always appreciated your contributions and dedication to Massassi, through good times and bad. Thanks for helping make Massassi one of the best, most friendly communities on the internet.

The Staff

Winds of Change - Brian @ 6:16 PM
After talking with blujay over the past few weeks, we have decided to again change ownership of Massassi. This time, he will be giving me Massassi. Isn't that poetic? Anyway, once I get access to the server, I will start implementing the things listed in the Massassi Wish List thread. The first project will be a new and improved Editor's Corner (link points to a preview).

Needless to say, I'm excited and I'm looking forward to jumping back in. As always, if you have any suggestions, comments, or concerns, feel free to e-mail me directly. I do my best to respond to every message that I get, so if you haven't heard back within a couple of days, chances are your message got dropped somewhere along the way.

Update: This does not affect Kedri's ownership. He still owns 50% of the site.
Jedi Academy Review - Brian @ 6:10 PM
I know Massassi doesn't typically list all the reviews, but this one is interesting because it comes from a more "general audience" site than most reviews. Anyway, Tech TV reviews Jedi Academy and gives it a nice score.
New Jedi Academy Duel Level: Forgotten Arena - Skimpy @ 3:30 PM
File: Forgotten Arena
Author: ScOrPiOn
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A small forgotten arena in the middle of nowhere, where the stench of rot fills the air as the remains of dead corpses lie in the pit. A small level ideally meant for no force duels but still could be fun with force. Designed to create up close in your face saber battles forcing you to fight, instead of fleeing.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Conc Ring - Skimpy @ 3:18 PM
File: Conc Ring
Author: Vane
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Welcome to the Conc Ring! This level is suited for 2-8 Players, and is intended for Hardcore Fragging, with some Music Tidbits and Observer area. (Hint: Observer area in a wall beside an arrow)
New Jedi Academy Mod: The Glory Of The Sith v.1.1 - Skimpy @ 3:09 PM
File: The Glory Of The Sith v.1.1
Author: M1k3
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This mod replaces the lightsabers with Sith Swords, in single player these function just as if you had typed "saber sith_sword". In multiplayer they are just lightsabers with the sith sword model, I plan to fix the issue in the next release. Staffs are changed to the sith scepter, but it just works like a regular staff. The mod also changes the bullet effect on the repeater and subtly changes the projectile effects for the bowcaster, and the blasters.
