3d Preview Addition - Brian @ 6:06 PM
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 - Brian @ 5:23 PM
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 - Brian @ 11:41 AM
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.

How to get Jedi Knight running on Linux - Brian @ 7:47 PM
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 - Brian @ 8:09 PM
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

  • Holiday themed. Any holiday this month.
  • Minimum width in pixels: 384
  • Minimum height in pixels: 154

Welcome to the new Massassi! - Brian @ 3:11 PM
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:

  • levels/files pages updated with bigger thumbnails, more detailed 3d preview
  • levels/files list updated with bigger thumbnails, rating highlights, and improved paging
  • tutorials pages updated to match current massassi style (old versions available on tutorials that originally had non-standard formatting)
  • SotD/LotW archive pages have bigger thumbnails and improved paging
  • holiday logos are now rotating and will until January
  • all php and perl is gone
  • the site is now open source! more details to follow

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 - Brian @ 4:35 PM
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? - Brian @ 10:58 PM
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.

Amazing Unreal Engine Remake of Nar Shaddaa - Brian @ 8:27 PM
Karjala shared a link in our discord to this video of an Unreal Engine remake of the JK Nar Shaddaa level by author Ruppertle. It looks completely amazing and please be sure to check out the channel for more videos, including this one about converting 2d textures into 3d models.

Announcing Jedi Knight & MotS 3D Preview - Brian @ 2:34 PM
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.

Nikumubeki and Eversor Asked For This - Brian @ 8:33 PM
Nikumubeki asked me to copy over some old stuff to the Massassi server. And Eversor demanded I update the main page. Here it is.
  • SINE - Screenshots of a level Sine_Nomen was working on before his computer crashed and everything was lost :(
  • JKL2OBJ - I'm not familiar with this, but the included tutorial video indicates that you can take a gob file and export the whole thing (jkl, referenced 3dos, textures, etc.) as an .obj file which can be used in 3dsmax

2016 Holiday Logo Contest - Brian @ 9:43 PM
As has been an (almost) annual tradition since 1998, we are now running the Massassi Temple Holiday Logo Contest. Add your submission to the forum thread and it will be uploaded to the 2016 Holiday Logo list and will soon be rotated on our main page (and maybe the forums). I've always appreciated the work and creativity put into these logos and I'd love to see what everyone comes up with this year! Thanks as always.

Level Comments and Ratings are Back! - Brian @ 10:30 PM
You should now be able to once again leave comments and ratings on the level information pages. This requires a Massassi account. All old accounts still exist with the old passwords. At this point there is no way to change your password, reset your password, or retrieve your password. I'm working on change and reset password but it will probably be at least another week. However, the only thing we ask for is a username, email address, and password so please feel free to register a new account if you can't get into your old one. Or contact us and I can figure out a way to let you back into your account.

Please start by playing and leaving feedback for the Death of Massassi Level Pack. I'm sure the authors would appreciate it!

Star Wars Humble Bundle II - Brian @ 9:25 PM
If you want some cheap old Star Wars games check out the Star Wars Humble Bundle II. It doesn't have Dark Force, JK, or MotS (the first one did) but some of the games look like they're worth checking out. Forum thread has some discussion as well.
Level Comments/Ratings - Brian @ 9:22 PM
I was hoping to have the level comments/ratings back up this weekend but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I have a few more things to clean up first. Hopefully next week. Sorry for the delay!
