New News Script - Brian @ 9:31 AM
I have just implemented a new news script on Massassi. Because of this, you may see some errors on the main page. I am in the process of working out all the final bugs, but that can't be done without going live and seeing what happens. So here it is!
Dark Forces Timeline - darkjedi86 @ 10:32 AM
This was e-mailed to us a while back, but through my stupidity I forgot to post it. It seems that a fellow by the name of Lou Graziani has constructed a timeline of the events in Dark Forces and its characters. This must have taken a lot of time and patience, so go pay this wonderful history a well-deserved visit.
Two New Tutorials Added - Kedri @ 10:43 AM
Keeping myself occupied whilst the level posting script is polished up, I've posted a pair of tutorials that came our way from the modestly-named JEDMaster. The first is a great tutorial on creating ribbed domes. Here's a small screenshot of the finished product to pique your curiosity. Pretty! The second one isn't really a tutorial so much as an alternative technique for sloping corners in your levels. To the seasoned editors out there it may seem like a no-brainer, but you never know who may find it an invaluable tip. Thanks to JEDMaster for sending his stuff in.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Death Edge - Kedri @ 11:43 AM
File: Death Edge
Author: Orange_Thunder
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: The level is set high above a planet's surface. The combination of low gravity, jump pads, weapons and drops makes this level a great one to play. There are two levels, one with guns and one with sabers.

File: Temple of the Sith Priest

File: Calling the Corners - Sabers Version
Author: SR_Sorcerer_Vinny
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Calling the Corners is a small sabers level designed for no more than four players. I would also recommend playing it with No Force, but Full Force in this level might be interesting. It is fast-paced and the lighting will keep saberists on their toes. Enjoy.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Frigate Mayhem - Kedri @ 1:49 PM
File: Frigate Mayhem
Author: Xyn-Jian
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A Nebulon B Frigate hangar bay and the surrounding chambers. Fight among stationed fighters, mess up the locker room and wreak havoc into the briefing room, or have a saber duel on the main deck. There's plenty of sniping spots for everybody. :) Best for 4-8 players, NF or FF, mixed guns/sabers. All ship 3DOs are from GoZ Studios.

JK Beta Testing Group - Brian @ 12:34 AM
After a pretty long period of down time, the Jedi Knight Beta Testing Group is back online. Their design kicks, and it looks like they've finally got an active webmaster to run the show.

This is good for level authors because you can now get your level/mod beta tested by a wide variety of people and computers. I strongly suggest you take advantage of their services.

Also, they're looking for 10 very active beta testers, so if you're interested, hit their page and apply.
Mats - Brian @ 12:36 AM
A bunch of new textures have been added to our mats section. Big thanks to those people who submit their textures. If you are the artist behind a custom texture or texture pack, please submit! We're really looking to get this section up and running strongly.

Also a big thanks to Brandon who's been handling the mat section since it's reopening. He's going to be showing up a bit on the news as well, so look for it.
Hello - Brandon @ 8:33 AM
As Brian mentioned, I have been handling all the mats since the new mat section was launched in mid April. Since then the mat section has grown to 78 mats in its database. Some of the big contributing authors have been Tee and more recently Kevinator. I'd like to thank these authors for the mats they have sent in and ask anyone else to please send in any mats they have or make. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on your way!
Out of Town - darkjedi86 @ 3:56 PM
Well, as the headline implies, I am going out of town. I'll be going with my grandmother up to my cousin's High School graduation, and then I should be staying with her for another week. All in all, I should be gone for 9 days or so. I'll still try to keep up with news and Massassi, but I will be seriously slacking. See you in a few days!
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level Review: Infernal DM - Reviews @ 4:40 PM
The Massassi Temple Review Site has just posted a new review of Infernal DM. The level was created by HothRebel.
2 New Reviews - Brian @ 4:43 PM
Well, when I installed the new news script, I forgot to modify the review system to mesh with it. Because of this, two reviews were posted but never got announced on the correct day. So here they are: Jedi Tower and Frigate Mayhem.

AlieNations Updates - darkjedi86 @ 8:07 PM

More Quack @ Duck's Lair - darkjedi86 @ 8:12 PM
The Duck's Lair has quacked out some updates to Jedi Knight. It seems that Omnesolis, top duck at The Duck's Lair, has updated the Jedi Knight Tweaks section. Head on over and quack down some great information!

The Massassi Temple Review Site has just posted a new review of The Temple of the Fire Rain. The level was created by Xaem.
Improved Saber Colors... Improved - Kedri @ 1:56 PM
There was a major error with the Improved Saber Colours JK Mod. Essentially, the sabers were placed in the 3DO/MAT section instead of the MAT/ section, doing nothing to improve the sabers. Jkguy_009 has sent in an updated version of the mod, assuring everyone that this one does indeed work. The update replaces the current file.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Sniper Fort - Kedri @ 2:49 PM
File: Sniper Fort

File: Ancient Sith Arena
Author: RSW_CrimsonTide

File: Lost Base
Author: MW_BountyHunter
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a large level set on a base over a volcano, with three bridges going over the lava. This level is great for NF or FF sabers, 2-4 players. It also has many underground pathways. Having three briges going over the lava at three different heights and angles is a fun scenario for saber-dueling; falling down is a constant risk. A challenge all around.
New Jedi Knight Mod: Darth Yun - Kedri @ 3:24 PM
File: Darth Yun
Author: Seijin
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This Darth Yun skin includes a Double-Bladed black Sith Lightsaber and a grappling hook. Darth Yun is also able to flip and amputate the heads of stormtroopers. Last, but not least, you are able to change from regular Darth Yun to a Darth Yun in Sith Robes.

Author: Guyver 1

Description: Ever seen or heard of the Guyver anime? Ever wanted to play as him? Well, now is your chance. In this mod you are able to use all the weapons Guyver uses. Even for gamers that don't know of Guyver this mod is worth a download. It has many new weapons, force powers, and items. Enjoy.
New COG: Energy Ribbon - Kedri @ 4:45 PM
Sven Solo sent in a COG script that takes the standard lightning event and extends it with some customizable variables like pulserate and sound. Some spiffy applications pop into my head with this one. It'll work in SP, MP and CTF, but only in Jedi Knight. Thanks to Sven for his submission.

Dorkfiles Opens TC/Mod Library - blujay @ 5:19 AM
The Dorkfiles has opened their TC/Mod Library, where they catalog all the current TC's and mods in progress for JK and MotS and provide status information and an interest poll. So far it's looking great, so go have a look.
Vampire In Stores - Brian @ 8:35 AM
Non-JK, but good news nonetheless. In case you don't know the story, after Jedi Knight was released, a bunch of LEC employees left and started their own companies (some are at Nihilistic Software and some are at Infinite Machine). Anyway, Nihilistic has just released their first game, Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. It's a killer 3D role-playing game. I received my pre-order copy yesterday, and I must say, this game is amazing. Word is that it's selling like hotcakes, so if you are going to buy it, be sure to call your local software store before you make the trip.

For all the latest news and information, be sure to stop by my other project, PlanetVampire.

New Jedi Knight Mod Review: Guyver Attack TC - Reviews @ 10:03 AM
The Massassi Temple Review Site has just posted a new review of Guyver Attack TC. The level was created by Guyver 1.
Levels + Misc Info - Brian @ 1:51 PM
Alright, I updated the levels script to start outputting the "recent levels" list on the main page. As you can see, some of the levels listed there aren't the most recent. Due to a bug in the script, the "date added" time was being updated each time a level entry was edited. This has been fixed, so as more levels are added, that list will correct itself.

Jedi Josh also brought to my attention the fact that the "last updated" line at the top wasn't correct anymore. That has also been fixed. Any other problems, please let me know.
MPG Updates - Brian @ 2:46 PM
Looking for some live JK action? Be sure to keep up with the happenings over at the Massassi Players Group. There have been a couple of levels added lately, so be sure to download them and start a game.

Another Bug Squashed - Brian @ 5:30 PM
Don't know if anyone cares, but when we edited an entry for a level, the download counter would get reset. That bug has now been fixed, sorry to any level authors that were affected.
New Jedi Knight Mod: Flashsabers v1.0 - Kedri @ 10:19 AM
File: Flashsabers v1.0
Author: Deathbane27
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Flashsabers is the first saberglow mod (a mod that puts a translucent glow on the lightsaber) that does not require a 3D accelerator card. It does so by flashing between a "core" mat and a "glow" mat, hence the name. This version includes the Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Black/White, Purple, and Blue sabers. You also have an option of a black "Sith" or white "Jedi" core. (Note: The glow flashes faster than it appears in the screenshots. Flashes are once per frame, unless your framerate is higher than you monitor's refresh rate.)
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Jedi's Canyon - Kedri @ 10:37 AM
File: Jedi's Canyon
Author: Jorgen Hall
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: A multiplayer level for 1-4 players up in the air. Do not think this is an another version of Valley of the Jedi Tower. The concussion rifle in the middle will make everything very funny. With the exception of the concussion rifle, this is pretty much a sabers level. Made for fast games.
New Jedi Knight Mod: Marine Suit v2.0 - Kedri @ 10:54 AM
File: Marine Suit v2.0
Author: Paladin
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a newer version of my self-acclaimed Marine Suit. New features include: "Gun Selected" text, new IR goggles that talk to you, a new pulse rifle, a pistol with a helmet laser addition, and a Tesla gun (shock cannon and a new field light sound). We suggest that you use this mod in Single Player missions only because the Pulse rifle is far too good for multiplayer. So have fun and enjoy! Oh, and by the way, the skin and menu text are still the same. E-mail me your comments!
Emperor Skin Updated - Kedri @ 11:10 AM
Sith Lord sent in an updated version of his Emperor skin mod, which was posted here last week. The revision fixes some colormap problems which were popping up, and he blended the face texture in a bit more. He also provided a new pair of screenshots of the skin. The update replaces the current file.

New Tutorial @ Millennium - darkjedi86 @ 11:18 AM
Tutorials are popping out like hotcakes over at Millennium, one of our hosted sites. This is the fourth of the Sniper tutorials, and is entitled, "How to Implement Sniping". These sniper tutorials are all based off of what Hideki has learned from creating his killer mod, Sniper Arena. Judging from some of the great stuff in Sniper Arena, I'd bet that these tutorials are hot stuff, so I would suggest paying Millennium a well-deserved visit.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Mewtwo Trilogy S.E. - Kedri @ 11:27 AM
File: Mewtwo Trilogy S.E.
Author: jedilord120
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a level pack made from Creation of Mewtwo, Battle of the Clones, and New Island's War. I was going to release this after I made it but someone wanted me to let them use it for their mod so I thought I would release it now because I haven't seen the mod yet.

Alliance Editing has updated quite a bit. First, they have opened their new tutorial section, along with adding a new tutorial. Next, they have updated the screenshots section with a total of 45 screens. Lastly, they have officially opened the Beta Testing section, which is worth checking out. All in all, I'd say Alliance Editing deserves a visit.

Ghostbusters Spook Demo Update - Brian @ 6:56 AM
The Ghostbusters TC Spook Demo has been updated. It is now a mere 5.5 megs (compared to the 13 megs of the last version). The only difference is that the new zip file doesn't contain the giant readme that used to be included. This mod was recently reviewed over at the review site and received a 90.
Mat Spotlight - Brandon @ 8:23 AM
We're starting something new at the Massassi Temple, a Mat Spotlight. Every week or so I'll make a news post announcing who received the Mat Spotlight. The first Mat Spotlight goes to The Big Giant Head with his awesome brickmats file in the brick category.

New Jedi Knight Mod: JoF Mod v1.0 - Kedri @ 3:14 PM
File: JoF Mod v1.0
Author: JoF_Paladin
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This mod changes all standard weapons except fists. It also changes the IR Googles, and Bacta. A few changes are that the Bryar shoots a grappling hook as secondary fire. The Stormtrooper Rifle is now a sniper rifle. The mines are now a type of futuristic mace (the blinding spray). Primary fire will repel the victim away from you and blind him/her. Secondary fire will charge it up. You can block lasers with the mace, and while it's equipped you can breathe underwater. Most projectiles now travel faster, and I made all the guns "balanced," which means the Stormtrooper rifle won't be more powerful than the Concussion Rifle or anything like that. Don't be fooled by the file size; it's kind of small because I didn't put in a bunch of 3DOs and sound files.
New Jedi Knight Mod: Rhand Patch - Kedri @ 3:28 PM
File: Rhand Patch
Author: Rudy Chow
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a compilation of weapon 3DOs that have been edited to contain invisible hand MATs. What this means is that you can now have a Greedo with green skin on his right fist instead of the default beige/yellow. Importantly, you will have to edit your character's 3DO so that their rhand mesh is visible. If you don't, what will happen is that your character will appear not to have a right fist as it is invisible. E-mail me if you need further help.
Shameless Plug: Alliance Editing - darkjedi86 @ 3:34 PM
Sheesh, Posse never lets me miss an update! It seems that Alliance Editing has updated with 20 new screens, new members, new beta testing news, and the past history.

This may not look like much but it sure is fun. There is a sabers room, and an outside area with a tower that serves no real purpose, the tower has a gun in it which can be fired but not aimed.

Guyver Sanctuary Updated - Kedri @ 12:09 PM
Guyver 5 sent in a newer version of his JK MP level Guyver Sanctuary. This sizable update fixes a few bugs, adds a few more buildings and switches out some of the MATs.

Glowsaber 3.0 Progress Report - Kedri @ 1:43 PM
One look at Jamontoast's .plan file shows you he's been busy working on the latest version of his infamous Glowsaber Mod. He's posted a few screenshots to whet your visual appetite, including a couple of nifty animated GIFs. They're kinda tiny, but nifty nonetheless. He mentions he's open to new ideas on what else to add to the project, so if you've got any lying around you'd best drop in and let him know about 'em. A tip of the hat to Highlander for the info.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Dark Oasis - Kedri @ 6:07 AM
File: Dark Oasis
Author: ReAcToR
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is not a Canyon Oasis mod. It's a hardcore deathmatch level set in a desert oasis. The level is perfect for NF and FF Guns. There are at least two ways to get to all of the most powerful weapons, and the items are placed quite strategically to keep people from camping. In NF, you can use the water passageways or rail jump to the areas which contain the powerful weapons, and in FF, you can also use the water passageways or just force jump. There are many surfaces in this level that could be used as ramps in FF, alot like the ramps in Battleground Jedi. This level gets better framerates than Canyon Oasis, and has about the same amount of items. This level is good for 2-4 players in both NF and FF. Enjoy.
New MotS Multiplayer Level: Volcano Island - Kedri @ 6:12 AM
File: Volcano Island
Author: Eagle

File: Corrans Canyon Base
Author: SaGA CoRRaN
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is the second level I've made. It is sort of like a canyon with one long tunnel with crates and two small ones with a concussion rifle and an AT-AT with some mines on it. The crates going down don't anything terribly important, except maybe offering an interesting death or an exercise in climbing.

Author: Grevenilvec
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This level is set in an old, abandoned building. The building was recently renovated by Imperial Prison Facility Alpha Omega Ceta, under Prison Warden Cmdr. Greven il-Vec's orders. The building now houses many weapons, and hidden holocams to watch. It is used as a bloodsport, Kill or Be Killed arena, both to eliminate prisoners and to provide entertainment as the staff watches, and a prominant Holonet company broadcasts the events live. Briefly, prisoner, you are to become a star.
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: The Level With No Name - Kedri @ 6:59 AM
File: The Level With No Name
Author: Cguy
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: There's no real set theme or anything to this level. It's somewhat of a mix of different ideas. A canyon, underground cave, and some sort of building complex all mixed together. The level is suitable for 2-4 players. There are no big guns included (i.e. Rail Dets and Concussion Rifles). In my opinion the level is best played on Apprentice Level Force as there are a lot of eh... enclosed areas.

On a side note, this is an updated version of the original level I released in May for the second Massassi level contest. I've just fixed up a few things.
New Tutorial: Advanced Lighting Techniques - Part 2 - Kedri @ 12:49 PM
Jepman picks up the torch and offers a tutorial on creating tunnel light effects for levels in Jedi Knight. As the title implies, you should already be pretty comfortable with JED editing concepts before tackling this one. But oh, the payoff... an editor's delight. Here, see the final product for yourself. Many thanks to Jepman for contributing this great how-to.

Forum Upgrade Tonight - Brian @ 9:07 PM
Due to the problems we've been having with the forum email, I'm going to upgrade it to the latest version. This will result in a little bit of down time. I do not know how long it will last (since I've never done this before). The idea is that no user accounts or posts will be lost, so that is a good thing. No word yet on exactly what time they will be down, but if you access the forums and they're in the process of being upgraded, you will get a message saying so.
Jedi Knight Screensaver Update - blujay @ 10:34 PM
Just a quick note, the current zip file of the JK Screensaver on the Misc page is corrupt. We'll get a working version up as soon as we can.
Forum Upgrade Complete - Brian @ 2:30 AM
I have upgraded the forum system to the latest version. Not many differences on the surface, though. The only things I can see a difference in is that the ad banner is moved to the top, and there is a smilies legend next to the post text box. I'm now waiting for the test email to come back. If it doesn't work, I'll be in contact with our forum server admin (again) to try to figure out the problem.

Remember: If for some reason you registered and never received a password, please email me directly and I will look it up for you. We've been having problems with the email for a couple of weeks now, so if you've registered in that time, it's likely you never received your password. Also, if you have any problems now that it's been upgraded, please let me know.

Level System Upgrade - Brian @ 4:06 AM
I'm in the process of upgrading the levels section, so if you get any errors, please try back in a few minutes.
Level System Upgrade Complete - Brian @ 4:27 AM
So what's in the latest upgrade to the levels section? The ability to add comments to levels. This is very similar to the review site, but since we obviously can't keep up with the number of levels that are submitted, we are now allowing comments in the levels section as well. To post comments, you must first register. This is a very painless process. All we require is a user name, email address and password. Honestly, you can fake the email address if you don't want us to have it (blah@blah.com) - this just means you can't ever look up your password if you lose it (you'll have to register a new user name). If you feel like it, leave feedback in this thread on the forums.

Since it's new, it's very possible that there are some bugs. If you find any, please email me with a description of the problem and the exact URL (copy from address bar in browser) that's giving you problems.

Small Commenting System Upgrade - Brian @ 12:57 AM
I just added a field to the level display list. It tells you how many comments the level has. You can also now sort the level list by number of comments. On a side note, everything seems to be working pretty well; only one small cosmetic bug was reported, and it's been fixed.
New Review @ The Dorkfiles - darkjedi86 @ 12:54 PM

In SP, you become the dreaded Dark Trooper with his jetpack and Imperial arsenal. MP offers a good balance of weapons. They are not too powerfull (so you don't get nuked as soon as you join the game), but they still pack a good punch. A beautiful skin-pack of Imperials and, an awsome MP level is included as well. The preview is a SP Kyle-Saber mod called "Darth Scorpio". It gives you an awsome skin and the ability to fly. It has great new sounds and a beautiful lightstaff.
Another Commenting System Upgrade - Brian @ 6:22 AM
That's right... After some discussion on the forums, I've added the ability to edit your post. I've also changed the email display feature to function like the forums (which means email addresses aren't displayed on the actual page, you have to click to get them). This is so our users are protected from the automated email scanners that probe sites so they can spam. Finally, a "Report Abuse" link appears on each post. If you feel someone has posted a comment that breaks our rules, just click the link, and the abuse will be reported directly to the staff. If you have any problems, please let me know.

A Good Old Jed Tutorial - blujay @ 1:56 AM
While surfing around the Code-Alliance's forums, I stumbled across this tutorial on how to edit Jed's resource lists. Some of you may have Ping_Me's Jed_organize.ZIP file, which can be found here, which reorganizes things. By using this tutorial you can also reorganize all of the other resources. So, check it out, and maybe make a new set of files to help editors everywhere organize their Jeds. If you do, be sure to send it in to Massassi so it can be posted for everyone to use.

Whoa! - Juztyn @ 8:37 PM
I've been digging through the levels account trying to make up for Kedri's absence, and I've noticed that a ton of the submissions do not have all the information we require. Remember, all we really want is the type of mod, the name of it, your name, your email, and a brief description. We don't really need your life story or a great big explanation of why you think your dog has been getting sick lately (I admit, we haven't gotten any of these... yet.) Usually we can dig the information out of your emails, but when we've got 20+ levels sitting in the inbox, (which we do,) it gets really really tough. So if you could PLEASE spend that extra second reading the submission instructions We'd be eternally grateful!... Okay, that's the end of my mini-rant, now back to these remaining levels... *sigh*

Whoa! (again) - Juztyn @ 9:10 PM
That's it, then. Below are all the levels that were submitted properly.

If your level wasn't posted, the most likely culprit is yourself. In case anyone missed it, we now require two (2) screenshots, along with the gob's zip, in order to post your level. If those screens aren't there, we just can't post your level. Fixing this little problem is as easy as loading up your level or mod, taking 2 screenshots, and resubmitting it - so please do! I can't wait to see more levels sitting in my inbox... honest! :)

GameSpy Arcade Supports Jedi Knight! - darkjedi86 @ 2:36 PM
Well, since I live under a rock, I did not even know there was such a thing as GameSpy Arcade. That is, until Mara Jade was kind enough to give me a news tip. I downloaded it, installed it, and tried it. It's really something else. You can play games, chat, surf, and more; and now it supports Jedi Knight! So, if you don't already have GameSpy Arcade, I would recommend going to their site and getting it. I'll see you there!

Description: This is a small multiplayer saber deathmatch level set in the city of Baron's Hed. The base of this level comes from level 6 from the single player game although it is heavily modified. This map is intended for FF as well as NF and 4 poeple max due to medium framerate which can result in poor performance on low end computers. There is 1 secret in the level that was suggested to me by a fellow tester. It is very hard to find.
Level Comment System - blujay @ 1:54 AM
A little reminder. The level comment system is not a forum system. It is not for discussion of your likes/dislikes of Oasis mods, it's not for discussion of the author's clan, it is not for posting "LOL!!!!!!!". It is for posting comments on the level itself. Please keep this in mind and only post if you have something relevant to say about the level.

It has many weapons, force boosts, and health regaining items to keep you going. The pitfalls are, of course, fatal, and you can watch your body disappearing into the "lava". There is also a Red tint to the level to give it a more "authentic" look.

Obi-Wan Preview + Screenshots - Brian @ 12:28 PM
PCGamer UK has posted a preview of Obi-Wan, apparently now being dubbed the next game in the Dark Forces series. Pretty strange considering the fact that originally, it wasn't going to be released as part of Dark Forces (and why should it be, it has no relation to the stories of Kyle Katarn). They've also got some new screenshots.
Mat Spotlight - Brandon @ 4:12 PM
This week's mat spotlight features the Graphtallica2 mat pack. This mat pack, stuffed with 250 textures from the texture site Graphtallica, was converted by Ping_Me.

I would also like to point out that there have been no mat submissions in over a week. I know there are lots of mats out there, sitting on people's hard drives. So please, if you have a mat send it in and help out the Jedi Knight community.
