GBTC Screens - Slug
Got this from Deathstar4, of the GBTC.
The GBTC is nearing completion; we are about 70% totally complete. It will be released around New Year's. Here's a cool new pic of a very original, zany GBTC 'SpookMatch' (Deathmatch) level that one of our editors, GamerX64, has completed. You can get more info and screenshots (and our Halloween Spook Demo) at http://www.jedinights.com/BSE.
New Review at the Command Chamber - Ryan
The Admiral's Command Chamber has posted a new review of the Mysteries of the Sith level "The Last Command" by Anthony Piggott. The review, as well as some news about the upcoming screenshot contest and staff openings, is available at the site.
An Impressive Review - Kiramin
The Spaceport just posted a review of Bakura Transfer Station by Raynar. It scored an 88. Given the Spaceports intensive rating scale, thats pretty good. I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet, but highly intend to.
Things to Come... - Kiramin
I just heard over at JediKnight.Net that there is talk of a mass-multiplayer StarWars-based online RPG. Having just recently gotten into Asheron's Call (an online RPG from Microsoft) I found that pretty interesting. If you are interested, head on over JK.net for more info.

It is a large level based primarily in a valley and caves, has two rivers and a big pool. Also a control room, house, hanger, store room, med bay, sleeping quarters.

Author: Paul Panek
Screenshots: No Screenshots
Description: This is a coversion of the JK SP level where you fight Jerec. I added a few things like a dark and light surge, and some shields and health. This would be a good 2-4 player sabers level with what ever force you would like. Also, in the center where you go into and start to fly up, you will suddenly stop cause there is glass, just look up and shoot at it or whatever and it should break.
Shadar Logoth Official Launch - Brian
We are very happy to announce the official launch of the newest Massassi Network site. Shadar Logoth (http://www.shadarlogoth.com/) is based on Legend's recently released action/adventure/rpg game, Wheel of Time. Wheel of Time is based on Robert Jordan's best-selling fantasy series.

Shadar Logoth attempts to fill the same void Massassi filled in JK editing's infancy. They provide news, forums, game information, and most importantly, editing tutorials.

Shadar Logoth is headed up by someone who has been an active and important part of the JK community since it's inception. Tom 'Magi' Smallwood is the author of many great mods including Swoop, Blaster Tag, and the incredible Warzone.

Anyway, check out the site and the game - it's an amazing action game with an incredible story (sound familiar?).
Diary of a Crazed Mimbanite #50 - Brian

PedHead's Jedi's Country Club - blujay
I'm not sure if this was posted a few months ago or not, but even if it was it's worth seeing again.  (c;  KOP_menace pointed me to these very nice screenshots of PedHead's current level project, Jedi's Country Club. They're at his site, PedHead with Jed (gotta love that site name) under Current Project. I don't have any idea of a release date, but whenever it comes out it should be good.
Mordor Temple Back Online at New Location - blujay
I received this from Gandalf a few minutes ago:

I just recieved this news from the Talon over at Tosche Station:
Tosche Station has reached our first 1000 hits. To celebrate this milestone I am glad to announce the release of the Tosche Station Exclusive Level Abandoned Lab. This is a terrific level that you can only find at Tosche Station. I guarantee you that this is one of the best levels you have ever seen and you definitely need to have in your level collection.

Min sys requirements are a PII 266 and a voodoo2 class 3d accleartor if you want to mantain anything over 10fps, my P2 333 avgs, around 25fps. The lay out is like this Theres a heavly detailed bell tower near the center. a house right next to it witch you can jump to and from the roofs there are several secrets a unfinshed area that allows you to change skins (unfinshed in the way the host cannot change skins) THere is a rest area with disco music and lights and a prison area that actually works u can lock anyone up in there if you can trap them there. also the ai is present but they dissapear once you leave the room witch cuts down on lag (they are still unsynced but confined to small areas and they do not attack you if u have fists.) That should cover it. IF anyone would like me to realse FIGHTER WARS 1.1 witch is a mod that allows kicks of many difrent kinds and other stuff e-mail me if i get enough support it will be realesd.

LEC Survey - Slug
I got pointed towards a survey by LEC about websites recently.. Pretty interesting stuff, and it let me pout even further about their lack of community support, while putting sites like www.nihilistic.com on a pedestal.. Not to mention I got to shamelessly plug Massassi a couple times.. Anyways, go fill out the survey.

Jedi Cards - Takimoto
I just got this bit of news from KOJ_BlueJay:
I just thought that you and the Massassi readers might find our "Jedicards" interesting.  (c;  'Take a look at the post on the J-Files. I'm still making them, have many more to do. And this is only the '99 series. Next year will be a different design. And of course I haven't made any special series cards yet.
God I love pre-HTMLized news. Nice and easy to post.
