New JK MOD: Spaced BETA - Juztyn
File: Spaced BETA
Author: Mandalorian Editing Alliance
Screenshots: No Screenshots
Description: From the makers of SMORPH comes our most simple project to date ! But don't be put off just yet. I decided that big time Mods/TCs with their new 3dos and levels never do much in the Jedi Knight Community. So, I made this, Spaced. This MOD will improve the original guns so that they are more powerful and a lot faster. Also, and this is the best part of Spaced, is the bacta Speed boost. When you use bacta you will go the fastest you've ever seen in jedi Knight i Guarante it ! The main point of this mod is speed, and Im sure you'll love it for this factor. my aim was to create a simple, playable mod that any level of experience could play be it in FF or NF, and, I think this probably the first MOD out there that both FF/NF Saberists and Gunners can all enjoy.

Description: This is a large level based on a complex for the Rebel's special forces units. The level is set in the side of a large canyon (like the Grand Canyon). RTC has sections on both sides of the canyon, with several ways travel from side to side. RTC is probably best with 3 or more players. It is a gunners level, but I did include a dark cave for saber fights. There is a control room, which seems to be an important thing for large levels. There are many traps and secrets. I included a CQS (close quarters simulation)in RTC, which is a small, 2 level area that can best be described as a maze. I'll leave the rest for you to see. Enjoy!!!
Well... (2) - Juztyn
I cleaned out the levels account and found a large number of levels that weren't quite submitted properly. Luckily for those authors, I'm a fairly nice guy (most of the time), so I'm bumping the news up a day to post 'em. Y'all owe me one.
Friday, May 19, 2000

That covers all the levels that were properly submitted between the 10th and now. And, except for forgetting to click my name 3 times, I think I did pretty well. If your level was not posted, and you sent it in between the 10th and today (or even before that), please resend it! Remember to follow the directions strictly, since I'm lazy and can't be bothered to look for information anywhere other then the actual email. If you don't know what I'm blabbing about, read this!

This Sabering level has low lag and good game play to recreate the feeling of different sabering areas found in Battleground Jedi. Holds about 10 people but only 2-4 is suggested.

Reviews & More @ TACC - Ryan
After a week and a half long siege of schoolwork, I've finally updated the Command Chamber. We've got a boatload of new content including level reviews for Dark Emperor II, Planet Sith, and Asteroid Training, a feature for the Starfall Adventure, and a bunch of great Obi-Wan screens posted on the forum. More stuff is in the works (including a secret project), so be sure to check out the site today.
Me - blujay
Just wanted to post real quick. Sorry I haven't updated the SotD or any levels or news, yesterday I had a late ballgame and got back very late, didn't get on the computer at all yesterday. I'll get things going again this weekend. Thanks.

New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level Review: The Frag Complex- Reviews
The Massassi Temple Review Site has just posted a new review of The Frag Complex. The level was created by NightGoatXL.
Reviews - Brian
As Posse pointed out on the forums, the review section has just passed 100 reviews. Funny thing is that this is exactly two months after it opened. Overall, I'm very pleased with how the review section is turning out. Of course I'd like to see more reviews posted (come on reviewers - quit slacking!), but 101 in two months is not too shabby.
E3 Coverage - Brian
As you can tell, the E3 coverage hasn't been updated as originally planned. There are two reasons for this. 1). I have a lot of other things going on that have been taking up my time. 2). Other large commercial sites have covered everything we could ever hope to cover, and in more detail. I find it pointless to spend time posting the exact same information every other huge gaming site has posted. If you want the latest news and information on the games shown at this years E3 Expo, please visit one of the following sites: AGN3d, IGN (they have links to their sections for all the consoles and the PC), GameFan, and UGO @ E3 (coverage starting next week). That all said, I'll be taking down the E3 2000 link as soon as I find a moment. By the way, Galvatron, I checked out the Pokemon stuff for you - I didn't understand a LICK of it, but I have a Pokeman Card that they gave me, if you want it!
Artwork Needed - Brian
Alright, I was thinking of making this an official contest type thingy, but the fact is, I hate trying to choose a winner. Anyway, The Massassi Temple and some of it's network sites need some artwork done. This is simply volunteer, so other than being credited for use of your images, we are not giving away prizes!

Basically, each of the following sites need the listed items.

The Massassi Temple
  • 88x31 Button - Basically a button to replace ours. I need one that is standard size (ours is a bit big) and looks decent on a white background as well as a black one. Preferably it will have some type of border or edge so it looks decent on *any* color background. This must be a .gif or animated .gif. Please keep the file size very small!
  • 468x60 Ad Banner - We get a banner rotated around the UGO network sites. Unfortunately, the current one we have is really, really bad. It needs to be under 12k, and can be in .gif or .jpg format.
  • 15x15 Forum Smilies - This has been suggested on the forum, and I like the idea. We need some smilies to replace the "default" ones that are included with the forum software. Preferably Star Wars, Jedi Knight or Massassi related! We need a smiling one, a frowning one, a BIG smile, an embarrassment and a winking one. If you visit the forums, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, check out this faq page. Remember, you don't have to submit them all, just the good ones you come up with! If we get a lot of good ones, I may put them in rotation.
Watto's Junkyard
  • 88x31 Button - Same as above.
  • 468x60 Ad Banner - Same as above.
  • 15x15 Smilies - Same as above, themed for Watto's Junkyard or Star Wars in general.
Indy's Inferno
  • 88x31 Button - Same as above.
  • 468x60 Ad Banner - Same as above.
Shadar Logoth
  • 88x31 Button - Same as above.
  • 468x60 Ad Banner - Same as above.
FC Outpost
  • 468x60 Ad Banner - Same as above.

Please make sure all artwork is original - I don't want any copyright problems here! I really appreciate the effort by the very talented artists in the community - and so do all our visitors.

If you have something to submit, please send it to the following email address: artwork@massassi.net. In the email, please list your nickname (to be displayed for the public), your email address (to be displayed for the public - unless you don't want it to, then just note that), and your web page (if you want one displayed to the public). Thanks to everyone, we really appreciate this!
New Hosted Site @ OD-34! - darkjedi86
The title says it all. It seems that Outpost D-34 has a new hosted site, Jedi Dreams. They have made a sprite builder, as well as a Jedi Knight Episode manager. This site is well worth seeing, so go visit Jedi Dreams today!
Dorky Updates @ the Dorkfiles - darkjedi86
The dorks at the Dorkfiles have dorkily updates their dorky page dedicated to the very dorky game, Star Craft. Yes, they are creating a Star Craft TC, and they have just recently had a few updates. I must say, the site is awesome, plus the screenshots! A must see, so pay the Dorkfiles a visit as well as the Star Craft TC page!
Down Time - Brian
We may have a bit of downtime as more RAM is getting added to our server... It's almost 5pm Pacific now, and I think it's going to be done within the next 15 minutes or so. Don't panic.

SWO News Drought - Juztyn
I was checking out the Star Wars Vault and saw they had a small, one paragraph report on Star Wars Online at E3. Check it out:
LucasArts picked a strange place to be at E3. They were in an upstairs room instead of down on the show floors. Sadly, there is no Star Wars Online news to report. I asked to talk to someone about SWO at the LucasArts booth, and the host responded: "What? Oh! Star Wars Online... Yeah, we don't have anything to show." I did talk to Verant employee Rob Hill at the EQ/Sovereign display. He reiterated what the LucasArts folks said, and implied that the lone press report may be the only official news we hear for some time. I wasn't expecting anything, but it was worth a shot!
*sigh* We want Star Wars Online! We want Star Wars Online!
New Jedi Knight Multiplayer Level Review: Long Fall- Reviews
The Massassi Temple Review Site has just posted a new review of Long Fall. The level was created by Lt_Greywolf.
Offline for a bit - Takimoto
Takimoto here. I'm making a post just to let you all know that I'm not dead. I don't have web access for the time being because I'm moved out of my dorm and no longer have the T1 LAN to play around on. I still need to configure my modem to work with the school's PPP dialup. Problem is, it's not reliable at all, so I haven't gotten it to work yet. Hopefully I'll be back in action soon. By the way, Jedi Power Battles for PlayStation is pretty cool. It's become a favorite with the guys at my apartment.
Lucasarts E3 Videos - Brian
Well this is a pleasant surprise. Jedi Legacy found this page on Daily Radar. It has 2-3 videos from EACH game that LEC was showing off at E3. They haven't finished downloading for me, but Speak says they rock, so start the downloads! Just ignore the fact that they were posted by Chris "RTFM" Kramer.

Bumping the news up a day so I can post a level. By the way, just a little reminder, when you send e-mails to us and/or levels, please be sure to proofread them before sending. It only takes a few seconds and may save a lot of trouble. Please be sure you get things like level type correct, otherwise we have to take them down from several places and post them again. It gets annoying after a while. Thanks.

E3 Section Updates - Brian
Alright, I updated the E3 2000 section with a bunch of new information. It will take us a few days to actually type out all the things we're going to report on, so bear with us. Today's update includes Zelda 6, Zelda Gameboy, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine 64, Battle for Naboo, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Warcraft III. There's also links to some "booth bunny" photographs as well as a full picture-tour of the show.

Another game I was really impressed with but didn't get to spend much time on was Dinosaur Planet, a new N64 game being developed by Rare. This thing was just a lot of fun. You can check out a preview over at IGN64.
New Legends Awards - Brian
GameFan has posted their E3 Awards. Infinite Machine's New Legends managed to snag a bunch of awards, including Best Third Person Action Game, Most Innovative Game, Best of E3 and an honorable mention in the Best Technology category.

I didn't even get a chance to see the game there, so they might have been showing it behind closed doors.
Daily Radar Obi-Wan Preview - Brian
Daily Radar, the PC Gamer run gaming site that's famous for mis-information and lousy cover-ups, has posted a preview of Obi-Wan. It is full of things like mis-quotes and mis-information. How about this:
An "elegant weapon for a more civilized time"
Or...
Instead of whacking around wildly [as in Jedi Knight], the lightsaber is controlled by precise motions of the mouse. Moving the mouse up and down and left and right will cause the lightsaber to echo the same motions, which is going to bring a whole new level of interactivity to melee combat that, so far, hasn't been done very well.
I'm not saying that JK has "elegant" lightsaber control, but it's far beyond "whacking around wildly" - This preview just emphasizes the fact that Daily Radar either doesn't play the games they review/preview, or they just never read the manual... There is a pretty cool screenshot posted, so it may be worth a click.
Obi-Wan Interview - Brian
Gamespot has published an interview with Lucasarts regarding their upcoming action game, Obi-Wan. There's a ton of good information there, so be sure to take a look. I found this paticularly interesting...
GS: Jedi Knight introduced lightsaber swordplay into the world of 3D gaming. How is Obi-Wan's lightsaber fighting technique any different?

LEC: Obi-Wan has introduced a new control system to the lightsaber that will allow the player to easily learn and select from a wide palette of offensive and defensive moves in a more natural manner. Additionally, we have added a "lock-on" mode that will allow the player to focus their movement and attacks toward one opponent. There is also a large group of flips, rolls, spins, etc, which capture the acrobatic moves of the Jedi. Many of these moves are based on motion capture and designed to truly give the player the feeling of playing the Jedi from the films.
The "lock-on" mode sounds suspiciously like Zelda 64's Z-targetting eh?
JkEdit 3.04 - Brian
Magicforce.com has just released version 3.04 of JkEdit, a level editor for Jedi Knight and MotS. The update includes some bug fixes and feature enhancements, so if JkEdit is your bag, go check it out.
New Glowsaber - Brian
Wow, it's been a while since we've heard from these guys, but the Official Glowsaber Site has been updated with a new version of Glowsaber. This one doesn't require a 3D card, and is reported as being "bug free."
JediKnight.net E3 Coverage - Brian
JediKnight.net has been keeping up with Star Wars related E3 coverage. They've got a lot of stuff on Obi-Wan, and tidbits on a lot of other games, so go give the site a look.
Obi-Wan E3 Preview - Brian
The Lucasgames Network has posted a good preview of Obi-Wan. It's based on their experiences with the game at E3... They are hopeful that it will be editable, but no official word yet. Apparently, all the maps are created in 3D Studio Max.
Chewie in Episode II? - Brian

Happy Mother's Day! - darkjedi86
Well, I'm not sure how many of our visitors are mothers, but I'd like to wish you all a Happy Mother's Day! Not a mother? Well, just for one day, I would challenge you to do everything your mom asks of you without complaining. They deserve it. Well, that's all for now. Sorry for the no-news-day yesterday. I was gone practically all day - my brother received First Holy Communion, I went to the pool, then I went shopping in the mall for the first time in 2 years, and then I went to my friend's play. I'll try to make it up to you all today. Bub-bye!
