Welcome Back to Massassi -
Welcome back to The Massassi Temple. This is now running on my server. I would like to thank CoolMatty for his stewardship of the site over the past many years. I have spent some time fixing up various areas of the site but there is still more work to do. I'll post another news item with my plans for the site over the next few days.

Show off your work in the Showcase Forum! -
This site has historically been dedicated to the Dark Forces games (starting with Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight). However, most people have moved on to other games and I get that.
If you do any sort of editing for other games, please feel free to put it up on in the Showcase Forum. Not only can you get some praise and feedback, but if your work is cool I'll put it up as Screenshot of the Day. Which probably won't be daily but I'll try to update it at least once per week. (More if we get more submissions.)

Site & Forum Bugs -
If you notice any site and/or forum bugs, please post them here. I know of the following so far:
And some features that were not active have been removed. Specifically the Editor's Corner (which allowed people to post screenshots and notes (like blog entries, but before "blog" was a word) has been removed because it was insecure and rarely used.
- Forum user profile pages are messed up
- Tutorials page still needs to be updated (will try to get to this next week)
- Submission instructions and email addresses are down (will try to get to this in the next 2 weeks)
- Level commenting and rating is still not working (will try to get to this in the next 3 weeks)
- Times on the news/index page are in UTC (not sure if I care about this; may just add the time zone)

Searching for Imperial Indulgence -
Thrawn[numbarz] is searching for a level he created but seems to have disappeared. It's called Imperial Indulgence and is pictured in this SotD. If you have a copy, please get in touch in the thread. Since we're in 2016 I suppose I can safely embed an image in the main page.

Level Downloads Broken -
Brandon let me know that level downloads are currently broken. This is simply an oversight on my part when I moved the server over. I will fix them this weekend, sorry for the issue.

Level Downloads Fixed -
Level downloads are fixed. Please let me know if you have any problems. Best way to contact me is to use the contact us page on the forums. The email address linked on all my posts here is no longer valid (replace the .net with a .com and it will work, though).
I'll also be updating the submission instructions this weekend.

Submission Instructions Updated -
I updated the submission instructions. If you have something you'd like to see on The Massassi Temple, head on over to learn how to submit it.
Soon I will start posting level/map/mod submissions again. Most of the other things we have historically posted (3dos, mats, cogs, etc.) don't get used often and are a pain to update so I'm probably not going to update those sections.

Submission Instructions Updated Again -
I updated the submission instructions again. They now have a way to get to the main email address for the Massassi Staff (which is currently just me). This should help make it easier to submit (and reduce reliance on vbulletin, ugh).
Death of Massassi Level Pack Submissions Are Due -
If you have a level for the Death of Massassi Level Pack please submit it right away. I'm going to be posting the submissions tomorrow evening.
