RPG Daedalus is well....a RPG map, of course. It was built by gurhy for Voyager Elite Force and is based on a deathmatch level by HorckDude.The Daedalus-class starship was an early class of Starfleet vessel. The class was commissioned soon after the formation of the Federation in 2161 and decommissioned in the early twenty-third century. So if you're into the RPG maps, then maybe you should check this one out over on Elite Force Files.

ZidZabre released a Free For All map that is made for Jedi Academy and is called Frozen Temple.My first thought on this map was "frozen temple... but there's lava and palm trees!" Potentially a moot point, but only a small portion of the map seems to have anything to do with the name. You guys can hit the Frozen Temple, I'm off for some coffee.

Now would be a good time to turn around and head right back to Soffiles and get some Swamp. It's a level of course, made by Lethy for Soldier of Fortune 2 and it supports all game types, including goldrush and roc.Everything about this map is right. The terrain, the broken shacks the mist everything. But it goes one step further. The outer terrain even has little paths here and there for snipers. The map certainly looks neat from the seven available screenshots.

SciSeven updated Starfighter Command, which is a RPG level for Voyager Elite Force.There are some decent changes and improvements from the last version, such as new textures, sounds and features, and I was very impressed that the plain-looking shuttle bay, that I commented on before has been augmented with running lights, operational space doors and landing strips of sorts.. Get the goods off of Elite Force Files.

Spacefighter Factory: Project Shadow Streak is a Free For All map designed for Jedi Academy by whitewolf. Here is a snip of what the reviewer has to say about the map:The first bit I saw was the factory. It's actually a very large and long room full of ships -- some of them in pieces -- being assembled. This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a map. One ship is getting a wing welded on, while another is getting the cockpit ready for assembly. As you explore further into the complex you'll see various other ships. That map is available on Jedi Knight Files.

redsaurus released a duel map for Jedi Academy that is called Snow Facility 4 and here is a bit of what the reviewer on Jedi Knight Files has to say about it.What I really like about this map is that it keeps gameplay in perspective but also focuses heavily on environment, and I'm not talking about the snow this time. The map is set up to really look like some kind of industrial facility, including control panels, pipes, machinery, you name it. It's given a good design so that duels will be interesting an varied, but while you're playing you're not going to feel like you're in a dueling ring which I'm sure will appeal to some people. Check out some Snow Facility 4.

Summaricane is a video that Chicane/i> put together from his other Soldier of Fortune 2 videos. Not much is explained but I assume this is some kind of deathmatch demo stuff.Summaricane is the summary of all my sof2 vids made so far (11 vids and 2 trailers). Except for the title, all videofootage has been taken from earlier productions, but of course i've chosen new music. Keywords for this movie: cut and synch. That's on Soffiles.

If you ever wanted a rusty shotgun for Soldier Of Fortune 2, that isn't too rusty, then maybe this one that FaCia created will do the job.Even though it says it is a rusty skin, It looks a bit to clean but still a nice skin. That skin is available thanks to Soffiles. Perhaps you would rather use this Blue Grey shotgun instead?

Over on Quake 4 Files you can find a singleplayer, Quake 4 map that is called Strombine.In this single player map you get Strogg snipers that play a lot like the Combines in HL2, thus the name, Strombine. They have that nice sniper laser and when they can't see you, they even shoot random physics objects around you. Not only that, there are also some item crates that open up and give you some ammo. Grab that map off of Quake 4 Files.

Just in time for Halloween (maybe on Corusent or some other far flung space joint), is this Pumpkin Bomb that all bad Jedi's keep under their cloaks.This author apparently likes pumpkins. A lot. I'm a fan myself, as I think pumpkins make a very wicked pie, however this author thought to put them to a more... incendiary use. Oooh yeah I gotta agree with the reviewer, a pumpkin pie would rule just about now. Hit Jedi Knight Files if you want an early Pumpkin Bomb.

Ferengi released a RPG level for Voyager Elite Force that is called Dragon Class and according to what I read, this map is still a beta, just so you know.This is a three deck starship currently a Work In Progress, this download shows us what has been done so far and gives an idea of what direction the map is heading in. This is a fairly promising file that makes use of a variety of familiar textures and features, the latter of which not all are working at this stage. You can get Dragon Class off of Elite Force Files.

If you need a new saber mod for Jedi Academy maybe this Lightning Edge one is worth grabbing.In the end, it looks awesome. There's not much more one could ask from such a simple, yet effective mod aside from an epilepsy warning. But those with such misfortune shouldn't be playing the game anyway. Check out that mod on Jedi Knight Files.

Here is Clan Atlantis Map II for Jedi Academy that is designed for Free For All by Jawateer #2.The map itself has a pretty nice design, though I don't really know how to describe it. Mix a castle/temple theme with an outdoor theme -- yep, the outdoors are indoors! Kinda backwards, eh? It really works here, though. I really love most of the architecture, which is simple yet complex. Have a lookie at that Clan Atlantis Map II jobby over on Jedi Knight Files.

Here is a Capture The Flag map for Elite Force that's called Battletactic 2 and is version 2 of the map with various fixes.Each flag base is located within a compound of sorts that have a couple of buildings containing powerups and pretty much the entire compliment of weapons in one place! Both bases are overlooked by a bunker that would be perfect for snipers, whilst the thick concentrations of trees are useful for sneak attacks. There is a definite "stealth-ness" to this small map. Check out Battletactic 2 over on Elite Force Files.

He chose to use the unreleased Samus model by Toshi. The outfit looks really nice as usual with Phonock’s work. He also included Sue using her powers so she’s barely visible. See if you can find the Invisible Woman on Jedi Knight Files.

This is Yan's Test and it's a deathmatch level designed by Method for Quake 4.Originally this map was a 10 day design test for id Software. After submitting the map, I took a few more days to make moss version of each texture to create a more unique look. Design test version was the same, except the moss..

ST. Wombat released mp derailed for Soldier Of Fortune 2. Here are the author's notes from the readme file:This map was created from an earlier map of mine (mp_santos) ... Seems quite a few servers running this original, so I was convinced by a few of my clan members to reduce the size, and create a map which would be dynamic and dangerous. I hope I have managed to do so and would be happy to hear from players. I have included all of the following gametypes (ctf, cctf, elim, dm, tdm, inf and dem),however as I only play ctf these days, anyone playing the other types feels I have not placed things as they should, let me know and I will see what I can do about it... (time permitting) That map is available on Soffiles.

Here is a Exile Sword skin jobby for Jedi Academy that was made by Itai'shi.Here we have a kind of staff weapon that looks like a mix between a vibrolance and something from MegaMan. It's like a big stick with glowly yellow blade things coming off at very odd angles and, to be honest, it looks incredibly deadly. In fact someone I showed it to suggested it be renamed to "Impractical Stick of Death" since it looks like it would be equally deadly to both the victim and the wielder. Ummmmmmm... It looks like an axe to me but what do I know? Grab that Exile Sword off of Jedi Knight Files.

I think that's enough with the Christmas mods but here is another skin dealie for Jedi Academy that is called Crazy Assassin and is designed by The Crazy Assassin .This is, in actuality, a rather enormous, yet simple skinpack in its own right. Basically, what we're given is a huge Quinlan Vos Reskin. The main basis of the skin is an armored suit gentleman with a strange electrical shader engulfing his suit. There are robed and hooded variations of each set of skins. I'd go through all the colors for you, but perhaps it's simply best if you take a look for yourself. Take a look at that Crazy Assassin over on Jedi Knight Files if you're into the skin files.

Quake 4 Run Revealed

Category: Quake IV |
Just discovered this mod called Quake 4 Run which is based on trickjumping and combining tricks.The first idea behind this mod was to implent timers which makes it possible to finish a specific "run" map in a certain time and then improve it afterwards. Every run will be documented in a demo named after name of player and map and time. If you want you can share those demos with other players so they can watch your skill or can help you to improve it. Comparing to other times you can try to beat them or be proud of yourself because of better records. If you're interested in Quake 4 Run there's a download for the v0.3.6 beta.

Hey!!! Happy New Year Guys! I just noticed that the final build of Quake 4: HardQore was released, which I saw on Mod dB.The release includes all the changes from the previously released patch, 5 new levels and tweaks to originals. Even though this build is our last one, it should still be treated as beta content and not 100% optimized and balanced. Check that out on Mod dB.
