• To set a color for a certain part of text, type a caret (a ^, which is Shift+6), then a number corresponding to the color. For example, to make my name blue, I would type: ^4blujay
• To set the color of text and its shadow, if the shadow's color is the same as the text's color, type: ^TextColor^TextColor
• To set the color of text and its shadow, if the text and shadow colors differ, type: ^TextColor^ShadowColor^TextColor

Multiplayer Dismemberment: I found a way to enable dismembering people in multiplayer. Start a server and set g_dismember to 100. 100 wont dismember players all the time, but it happens much more often. The clients also have to set cg_dismember to 1 or else they wont see it.

It works, however this is a bit inaccurate. The higher you set g_dismember the higher the actual chance of dismembering becomes. I set my g_dismember to 1000-3000, if you set it too high you get errors and the game crashes. Also, both client and server need to set cg_dismember to 1.

Well thats basically it, have fun!

Anyone who has maps they've made and are waiting to release to the public, I can compile them for them if they send me everything I need (map file, textures, models, shaders, etc.) and I will send them back. We are waiting on releasing the editing tools until we are certain it will work 100% on the first release.

Proving Grounds (http://www.provinggrounds.com) has a fistful of Jedi Knight 2 ladders up covering deathmatch and capture the flag match formats. If you're up for a little competition, put your jedi skills to the test on one or more of our various ladders in 1vs1, 2vs2, and Team styles with and without force powers. We'll also have more Jedi Knight 2 ladders in the future, so stop by the forums and let us know what you want to see next.

NOTE: This is only the default skin. There is no red or blue skin.  

Now housing over 200 textures for anyone's personal use, thelimelite.net is better than ever! The site also boasts an updated levels section, adding more organization to the mix, a revamped texture section, and a FAQ. Not only does the page brandish textures for your downloading pleasure, but also models, a winamp skin, and even forums for frequent visitors!

This is great news as always, especially with the recent release of Jedi Outcast, and the ever-growing closer release of JORadiant. As its always good to have some great, free, high-quality, textures at your disposal.

• Jedi Dreams - Which was formerly hosted at OutpostD34.
• dr0id's stuff - Which was also hosted at OutpostD34.
• Ugg's Projects - Which looks to be a new site with nice programs.

Thanks to DeTRiTiC-iQ for the little news update.

The killer part is that the original infected e-mail was in the levels@massassi.net box. Which means someone who has levels@massassi.net also has this e-mail worm sitting in there box.

While I don't think the sending of a virus is intentional, if you have ever sent anything to massassi plase check your e-mail box for the worm. Also, if you have sent something in recent weeks please resend it so I or someone else can post it.

Thankyou for your patience.

SW Jedi Knight II takes you on 24 amazing missions. LucasArts should receive high marks for teaming with Raven Studios and adopting the Quake III Arena engine in this great SW game.

I have updated my online portfolio, The Texture Factory with a few more textures. And just in case you missed the news, all textures that I put up on my site are now free to use for the public. I'm in the process of converting them, as well as their partners (that would have made the page far more tedious to look at), for a variety of different games, including JO. Until then, feel free to convert them yourselves.

• First of all, do not submit levels, mods, skins, or other files to staff@massassi.net!
• Do send such files to levels@massassi.net. And if you have a Web site, do upload the file to your site and send us the URL instead of attaching the file to the e-mail itself.
• Do not send large attachments (like 5 megabyte ones) to anyone's e-mail address unless you have asked ahead of time, or were instructed to like I just did. It's rude, and your e-mail will likely be deleted without being read!

This is my first skinning attempt. After reading the instructions on file submissions I thought I'd give this a try.
See readme for more info.

It is a spoiler, so don't read it if you want to find them yourself.

BS87 sends word that he has discovered two new multiplayer models. I'll let him do the explaining: "So far, i have found 2 hidden MP models in the game. They are the imperial officer, and Kyles Ghost father. Here are their names, respectivly. To enable these, while in MP, open the console and type: Model \"modelname\" (with or without Quotes) Imperial - normal imperial model Morgan - Ghost of Kyles Father. Also, there *should* be red/blue versions of these models, but i havent tested all of them. to use these, type: Model \"modelname/blue\" or Model \"modelname/red\" Note: using red or blue of morgan (Kyle's father) makes him solid, and not ghost like i, think" So tinker around with those if you like and let us know how they work out!

Thankyou Corran2015 for posting that niftly little thread.

Hi JK II webmasters, I just conducted an interview with Michael Stemmle, the scriptwriter for Jedi Outcast. I've attached a copy of the interview. I basically just want this interview to be seen by the public, so you've all got permission to post it on your sites if you're interested. You can change the format or whatever to match your specifications, please just credit me.

This converts a Quake3 BSP map to one that Jedi Outcast can load. It allows you to play simple maps built with Q3Radiant or GtkRadiant, without having to send them to Raven for compiling.

Obviously, this is just a temporary thing until Raven releases their editing tools. This is still experimental, so don't expect it to work all the time. It may only work for very simple maps.

Rbots:Two of the levels can be played with Raynar's Rbots, version 0.31 alpha - great work Raynar!

This is the first mod I have ever made.

This is my favorite skin out of all I have made so far, and I hope you guys like it!

Today we found a typo in the StarWarsMP.qe4: the entitypath is incorrect.
It should be: "entitypath" "__QERPATHmp_entities.def"

"entitypath" "__QERPATH\MP_entities.def"

A couple of days before Jedi Knight II was released, the Iron Jedi TC was finished. This mod changes all weapons and Force powers. It also supports new skins, hotkeys, skills, and abilities. It is a two-part file like the original JK installation, the reason being that the file was too large to be uploaded at its home site.

The IJ TC has been under development for over two years and has finally been finished. Special thanks to the creators of SS3, SBX, Glowsaber, IWP2, LEC, etc. If any code/files were not included please send a notice to lordxt_ij@hotmail.com. Both of these files must be downloaded for the entire TC.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is by far one of the most exciting games that has been released in quite some time. With Raven Software's developers tweaking the Quake 3 Team Arena engine we are given a new style of gameplay with outstanding graphics. Kyle Katarn has some new acrobat moves that are sure to make a Stormtroopers head spin. In all it's glory the lightsaber magnificently hums and glows. The exciting gameplay that keeps you on your toes makes up for any little flaw. Hours of enjoyment and replayability are what you get from Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast.

Star Wars® Jedi Knight®II: Jedi Outcast™, from LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC, was the best-selling premium priced PC game in dollars for the month of March, according to NPD Intelect. The first-person action game has remained a top-selling title in North America since its launch on March 28, 2002.

Grab your light saber and use the Force to fight the evil Empire as erstwhile Jedi, Kyle Katarn, in this action-packed title set in the Star Wars universe. With amazing levels, beautiful graphics, and a rousing soundtrack, not to mention the chance to fight off hordes of both classic and new SW baddies, this is one FPS you won't want to miss!

W32.Klez is a worm which uses the infected computers' windows address book to determine addresses to send itself to. The worm has its own means of sending, and therefore does not need to use the infected e-mail client to send itself. The subject and attachment are random, although there have been some reports at least within this community of relation to Jedi Outcast. It exploits a vulnerability found by Juan Carlos García Cuartango of Kriptopolis.com, similar to that found by Georgi Guninski of Guninski.com. This was found on March 29th, and affects those running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and 5.5, regardless of the version of Outlook Express. It also attempts to copy itself to all shared drives and folders it can find. In order to protect against W32.Klez, it is suggested you upgrade Internet Explorer to a version over 5.5 and/or apply Service Pack 2.

First, install GTKRadiant and change the file pathways for the entities to the ones in JK2Radiant. They include:

• Base path: C:\PROGRA~1\LUCASA~1\STARWA~1\GAMEDATA\BASE
• Maps path: C:\PROGRA~1\LUCASA~1\STARWA~1\GAMEDATA\BASE\MAPS
• Remote base path: C:\PROGRA~1\LUCASA~1\STARWA~1\GAMEDATA\BASE
• Entity path: C:\PROGRA~1\LUCASA~1\STARWA~1\GAMEDATA\TOOLS
• Texture path: C:\PROGRA~1\LUCASA~1\STARWA~1\GAMEDATA\base\textures

Once you've done that, you can do anything in GTKRadiant that you could in JK2; just load the file into JK2Radiant when you're done, and compile. This method works with version 1.2.2 of GTKRadiant.
