Currently the layout will not work with Opera or NS7, but fear not, for we are hosting a contest to redesign OSC in a manner that will be compatible with all browsers (Please see this thread on our forums for details). The forums are up and running, as well as the chat (the applet has now been customized to fit in with the current layout. We are in need of news posters and forum moderators and the like, so all requests to help are greatly appreciated, and should be sent to me or Pommy at either of our respective email addresses (yecti@insightbb.com or Pommy@massassi.net).

Description: This is a Canyon Oasis assimilated by the Borg. Whether you are a Trekker or not, this level may still be of interest. I have adapted the level for more gun battles; the level now consists of weapons with unlimited ammo. Concrifles, Fullshields, and Bactatanks are now more abundant in key areas of the level. As for the level itself, it has a few modifications to it other than it's looks. You can also hear the Borg "chanting" in the background of some areas.
I recommend you play this level with 2-8 people.
I would like to also add this is my first attempt at making a modified level.

Many of you have probably noticed that Massassi has been coming and going lately. Well, unfortunately our gracious host, Recon Gamer, has been the victim of Denial of Service attacks lately. They're doing their best to block them, but the attacks continue. So there's really nothing we can do right now but hope they stop soon. Thanks for your patience.

Description: Simple architecture... but very fun gameplay! Some say that this game plays similar to Episode 1: Racer or Super Monkey Ball.
Rolling Game includes a mod and a level. The object of this game is to roll to the end of your chosen path (there are two difficulties). By holding Crouch, your character will roll forward with a high velocity. Fly off ramps, avoid walls, and encounter many other tricky obstacles on your way to the finish. Only true Rollers will be able to complete the Experts path!
There is also good rolling music that plays automatically when you start the level. You can turn it off using a hotkey, but why would you want to do that?

New Jedi Outcast Mod: Masters of the Force (Release 2) -
File: Masters of the Force (Release 2)
Author: The MotF Team
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Masters of the Force is a MOD that came from the need to make Jedi Knight 2 more than it is. We felt that even though RavenSoft had done a decent job at making the game, there were many things that could have been done even better. Our main issue was the ambience that the game generated. It appealed more to players coming from games such as CounterStrike and UT instead of players that wanted a game that recreated the Star Wars "experience".
Other issues were related to the poor handling of various aspects of the gameplay, such as saber combat. RavenSoft apparently had tried to simply build on a platform (the previous Jedi Knight-Dark Forces games) which now is dated, and attempting to make up for it by placing it in a newer engine. This lack of true innovation is what has led many to attempt to 'fix' Jedi Knight 2 to what they thought was what RavenSoft should have done from the beginning.
This was especially prevalent with the saber combat system. It has been a target for numerous discussions in the Jedi Knight 2 community. On one side, people were happy with the system that Ravensoft had devised, and on the other people argued that it was too random and not faithful to the movies.
Other mods have focused their efforts on reducing the randomness of the game. We, however, felt that the randomness was only a small part of a larger problem. Fixing the saber combat system is one step in the right direction, but not enough to make the game itself a truly rewarding experience.
As such, we are currently striving to bring the "feel" of the Star Wars to Jedi Knight 2. Since we believe that Star Wars is a direct result of George Lucas's vision, we are basing this Mod primary on what Lucas has directly influenced, the movies.

There are many new changes, my apartment is slightly funkier. To open the door to my apartment hit the switch. It's a toggle door so you gotta hit the switch to close it. Theres also a switch to lock it.
There are moderate architectural differences. There is now a massive lake outside, on the far side of the blockade runner coming out of the hangar. On the far side of the lake, as well as one on the close side are drivable working hovercrafts thanks to a cog BAH_Strike made, and a 3do I made.
I've added a small restarant, the Beefcaike Cafe. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could compare it to the Dralloc Levels. As with several other areas, there is a switch to spawn civilians to add atmosphere to the Cafe, and one in the kitchen to spawn C2PO's as staff.
The race track was going to be bigger but I wasn't able to implement it due to JK's limitations.
See the textfile in the zip for hovercraft piloting instructions.

I'm going to have a parkade, throw in a few vehicles courtesy of hellcat and a penthouse or two. There will probally be a helipad on the roof. I know about all the bugs in this level.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level: Atom's Skybox -
File: Atom's Skybox
Author: at0m
Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: This is a small Deathmatch level. It is loosely based on a Skybox Arena in Unreal Tournament. There are plenty of ammo pickups and concussion rifles and a few armor vests and bacta tanks. It should be good for some 1 on 1 or 2 on 2 action. I wouldn't suggest more than 4 people on this level at a time as it may be a bit crowded.

Screenshots: Screenshot 1, Screenshot 2
Description: Now you can play a real game of chess with others in JK. You will need to have TEAM PLAY on for the chess game to work. RED team moves the WHITE pieces and GOLD team moves the BLACK pieces. To move pieces just activate the piece you want to move and then the square you want it to move to and the piece will move there. To take another piece just activate that piece instead of a square. There are more instructions in the Read-me, so I strongly urge that you read that.

Description: The first "Rolling mod" add-on level! Level includes some cool halfpipes to make things interesting and various booster pads to launch you at unholy rates of speed. This level is setup for racing so everytime you do a lap you get 5 points. Maneuver through the various obstacles and make it to the finish line first to win! A COG prevents fall/collision damage, so go as fast as you can. This is my first level, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

Jedi Knight III -
As most of you probably have heard in #massassi or on JKii.net, a German magazine GameStar has posted an article on a forthcoming Jedi Outcast expansion pack. Be sure to read up on a translation at IGN. Some of the new features sound pretty nice, including "create-a-jedi". Also, be sure to check out the slow-loading "supposed screenshots" page at JediKnightII.net. /me drools.
UPDATE: JediKnight III was just confirmed earlier today by Kenn Hoekstra and Michael Gummelt of RavenSoft at LucasForums, where Michael also answers some questions, and at RavenGames.com. Be sure to check out RavenGames' new JKIII forum.
