Star Wars: Battlefront -
Blue's News is reporting that Gamespot has revealed an upcoming game called Star Wars: Battlefront. It's supposed to be similar in style to Battlefield 1942, which a lot of people here at Massassi seem to like (although I was never able to figure out how to play the single player demo [the movement and fire controls simply didn't work]).

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

Version 1.2 has extra features for Jedi Academy, but minimal improvements for Jedi Outcast. A completely revised Brighter Sabers mod benefits both though.

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!

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.

It's named karmageddon because it reminds me of the old race-killing game Carmageddon!

New Jedi Academy FFA Level: Uprising III -
File: Uprising III
Author: El Cuko
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a large multilevel skyscraper surrounded by various buildings.
Features:Bot Support updated
Full lighting added
Many Models Added
Greater attention to detail
Elevators Improved
New Textures/Shaders added
Health and shields more strategically placed
FPS Improved (The original map was unnecessarily large, so many mountains have been removed)
More Balconies/catwalks added
Traps more strategically placed
Annoying NPCs removed
Jet pack added (Bots will use)
Swoop bike more strategically located
Several other major and minor fixes
Tips: Cage 3 has a trap door for a quick escape. Just hit "use"
Step on the depression on roof to spawn the swoop.
Use at least a couple of bots with camping properties
The lava flooded tunnels cannot be accessed unless you are on the swoop.
Because the map is a bit crowded, the swoop is intended to be utilized as more of a weapon than a vehicle (it lays powerful mines - Inspired by BDC racing club by DarthZappa)
The swoop is a seperate pk3. If you do not put this in your base folder as well, the bike will not spawn.
Anyone is welcome to the .map and associated files if they would like to customize, or just rework and rerelease; just email me with a request.
ENJOY!

Massassi Scripts Broken -
You may notice that many of the dynamic pages across this site are not functioning correctly. It appears our host upgraded our PHP installation (which is a good thing), but many of our scripts were written in 1998/1999, so rely on functionality that has been removed (or defaulted to being "off") in later versions of PHP.
Although I have been working on upgrading the scripts since I came back to Massassi, I wasn't planning a roll-out until mid-January. Since I am already working on new scripts, I don't really want to spend time fixing all the old ones to work with the new version of PHP. However, I don't really want the site to be broken until mid-January, so I'm going to explore some ways to fix the most-used portions of our site (levels and EC first).
We apologize for the inconvenience, and I thank you for your patience.

JKArena Competition Nearly Over -
There are only 95 hours left to finish up those levels for JKArena, level authors!
Unfortunately, the JKArena site was also affected by the php upgrade, and no longer functions properly. I'm sure everything will be coming back online soon. If you need immediate help, drop by #jkarena on irc.holonet.org or email me.

New Jedi Knight Mod: GOLEM Forge Official Release 1.0 -
File: GOLEM Forge Official Release 1.0
Author: Andrew (Andy) David Williams / Mr. Mistoffelees
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: GOLEM Forge is a weapons and items modification that has been worked on since late 1997, when Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II was released. The first release was at www.jediknight.net under a different name, and was nothing more than a conglomeration of cogs and 3DO's (models) put into GOB form. After stretching my wings, so to speak, with that first release, I have gone through at least 50 versions, searching for the ever-elusive "perfect mix" of weapons and items.
This post-beta release is a FULL VERSION, however, it is not "The Completed" version. In essence, I'll never finish working on it, but I wanted to see what reaction GOLEM Forge would get from the Massassi Temple and Jedi Knight patrons. This mod has 10 weapon replacements, ranging from teleport devices to a grappling hook with rope, and you may CLIMB up and down. The weaponry and devices are what this mod is about, and I hope each and every one who downloads this mod will enjoy it to its fullest.

Description: This is a relatively small Duel, FFA, Jedi Master, and Team FFA map set on an ancient planet shaded in mystery. The ruins lie in neglect with their true purpose long forgotten and their builders long extinct. Due to the architecural style and mysterious nature it is believed they were of Sith origin, but the Sith had been loosely organized from time to time and now the few that know of the ruins' existance remain uncertain.

Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This animated short is made up of scripted cutscenes created within Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. To view them, you will need to have the full retail version of Jedi Academy. A Quicktime version is on the way.
Check the readme for two installation options. Full subtitle support is provided, but remember this option is generally off by default.
Corellia
The Galactic Civil war is over. Corellia is free. Chaotic times are upon them, but the Empire is gone. New Republic troops are still stationed here in small numbers as the Corellian Security Force, or CorSec, is rebuilt. There is of course a certain amount of tension between the independence loving Corellians and the New Republic troops, but Corporal Mikeal Anders is doing his best to promote solidarity...

Description: Using the reborn twin model (because he's really cool and fat) I decided I would make a skin to remember me by. I gave him some skater shoes and a couple battle marks, implanted my face, gave him my voice box and changed his suit color to something a little more gothic and, voila. It's me - kinda. At least it will add some spice to the JKA world. Enjoy.

New Jedi Knight Mod: FireWorks v1 -
File: FireWorks v1
Author: Edward
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a Mod where your projectiles from your guns look like fireworks. There are a few bugs as this is only version 1. I've added a little MP level in this package so you can have fun, have a drink, enjoy the fireworks. Oh, wait. I haven't added a bar yet: Hopefully there'll be one in version 2! There are weapons all over the place, and two that are hidden because they are EXTREMELY dangerous in the wrong hands. You'll find more infromation on the weapons in the package under ExtraInfo.TXT. Almost every thing has an action when you activate it. I hope you'll enjoy this, and hope you enjoyed New Years Eve.
