No Downloads by E-mail - blujay @ 8:06 PM
Before anyone else e-mails us and asks, we do not provide downloads by e-mail while the files server is down. We have neither the time nor the bandwidth. In fact, we don't have all of the files either, because they are stored on the server.

Please be patient. Thank you.

Do Not Use levels@massassi.net For Contacting Us - blujay @ 3:08 AM
This will probably fall on deaf ears, but it's worth a shot.

Please, do not use levels@massassi.net to contact us! That address is for receiving files only.

Going through the e-mails in the account, I found an e-mail from the 17th reporting problems downloading levels. However, that address is only checked when our file posters are looking for files to post. E-mails to that address are not forwarded to the rest of the staff. They just sit there, and if they don't have a file to post, they maybe get read by one person, and maybe get deleted.

Also, if you have something to tell us, please try taking a minute to type coherent sentences, and have the decency to sign your name or screenname. E-mails like, "Y cant i down load levels" (that was the entire e-mail), or "wuts wrong with ur site???" are not helpful, and are actually annoying.

Perhaps if someone had reported the file server outage sooner, it could have been fixed sooner, possibly before the weekend. Unfortunately, the e-mails were sent to levels@, and didn't get seen. And, alas, I don't download files from the file server every day, so I don't always notice the problems as soon as they occur.

Well, thanks for your patience.

Files Server Down - blujay @ 6:42 PM
For some reason, the files server is down. This means that levels, skins, mods, and some other files cannot be downloaded right now. I've no idea why it's down. I'll try to contact Recon, but unfortunately, it's the weekend now. Remember, patience is the way of the Jedi.

Jedi Academy Easter Egg? - Kedri @ 7:15 PM
Rogue36 wrote in to let us know about this hidden nugget in the Jedi Academy demo:
I found a great easter egg in the Jedi Academy demo, and I thought I'd share it with my fellow Massassians. When playing the Tatooine mission, go into clip mode (type devmap into the console, then noclip). Float outside the level and you should spot a big brown box. Once inside of it, you will find two speeder models, including Zam Wessel's speeder from Episode II.

Pretty cool! I'm guessing if it's in the demo, it's in the full release as well. Thanks for sending this in, Rogue36, and thanks to DoZeR for confirming!

Jedi Academy Dedicated Server Software Released - Kedri @ 6:34 PM
We got a hold of the binaries to run dedicated servers for Jedi Academy off your machines. The Linux version weighs in at about 1.4 MB, and the Win32 version is 406 KB. These files will be permanently linked from our Programs section. Thanks to Kenn Hoekstra for the download links!
Jedi Academy Added to Jedi Outcast Editing Forum - Kedri @ 8:05 AM
Because Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are based on the same Quake 3 engine, it made sense to make an editing forum that combined both games. We've therefore updated the existing forum to combine the two. May you find great use in it!

Balance of the Force Beta 1.2 Released - blujay @ 1:36 PM
david sends word that he's released Beta 1.2 of Balance of the Force. Here's a list of the changes:
When the Imperials gain access to the Ion Cannon control platform the doors will stay open for 10/15 seconds (near/far door), the doors will close after the old delay if a Rebel opens them.

botf_bepsin has been relit so hopefully it'll look a bit better

The Ion Cannon effect now gets reset properly

Rebels no longer get class points for opening their down door

If you're charging a weapon and you die, you'll release the charged shot

Detpacks/tripmines now explode with damage when the person who placed them died

Storm Trooper Blaster alt fire slightly less accurate

Bryar Pistol ROF is higher
Sounds good, so check it out!

Cazor writes:

Hey, this is Cazor, Team Leader of The Matrix: Unplugged for Jedi Academy. I just got the new site up, so everyone go check it out here.
