Welcome to Frag 101, the first in a series of articles where we turn a pathetically inept staffer into a fearsome death dealing gamer of doom, with the help of none other then one of the game developers themselves. We have with us Mike Gummelt, Gameplay Programmer over at Raven Software, to try and teach yours truly a little something about Raven's new blockbuster, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

I realized that I'd accidentally been using a texture from a different addon level, because Radiant pulls from all *.pk3 files available in your base folder. So, there was a texture bug in the center of the level. This update fixes that and adds a nicer load screen.

Check back next month for feature coverage of mods for Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but for now, download Master David's Ugnaught Wars II from The Massassi Temple and fire up the original Jedi Knight. This mod makes it possible to go through the original story as an ugnaught, the gnome-like alien mechanics first seen on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back. Unlike many one-note jokes, this one stays funny for a while. Nice touches, such as using a wrench in place of a lightsaber, altering the story and cutscenes to better suit a three-foot-tall hero, and subbing in Bob Saget for the evil Jedi master Jerec, make the mod laugh-out-loud funny at times.
