 Check Out Duel Martyr
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:01 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

pk_hunter released a Jedi Academy, Duel map that's called Duel_Martyr.
This small duel map seems to have an Imperial feel to it, but also the feel of an arena. You could think of it as a high-tech dueling ring. It features a main "ring" area, then some side areas with ledges of various heights. A few new textures have been included, but 75% of them are advertisements so it still has a very "stock" feel to it.
Take a look at that level over on Jedi Knight Files.

 CTF Castlewar (v3.0)
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:34 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Borggamer released CTF Castlewar (v3.0) which is a map for Elite Force.
The overall design of the map remains the same, as the name suggests, it still has the castle feel to it, and the ropes are still there to allow for climbing the walls...you also still have the use of the 'buttons' so that you can hand out some electro-shock therapy to some unsuspecting opponents.
Elite Force Files is where you can downgrab that level.

 Tobe Releases Shiva
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 4:57 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Tobe has skinned Shiva and put her up on Jedi Knight Files.
Once again, Tobe dazzles our eyes with another reskin of the mystical Shiva, which I don't know as much about given I don't study Hindu. However, It's obvious that he was going for an icy effect, and has achieved so with his (complete) work.
Go forth and downgrab Shiva.

 Jedi Unleashed Headquarters
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 1:56 PM
Category: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

Jedi Unleashed Headquarters is a multiplayer map for Jedi Outcast that is designed by JaKaL. Here is a bit of the description:
This is a map I made for Jedi Outcast for the Jedi Unleashed Clan. Everyone liked the map and suggested I submit it, so here it is. There are a lot of secrets and fun things like an explodable bridge and partially destroyable buildings. A lot of variety and did I mention secrets?
That map is available thanks to Lucas Files. Unfortunately there's no available screenshots to check out before downloading. Also it doesn't quite say what category the map is in, so I guess it's some form of multi. heh. Cya.

 Quake 4 In Top Ten Best Sellers List
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:36 PM
Category: Quake IV

I noticed over on Gamespot that they posted up the Top 10 Best Selling US PC Games For October 8-14 and Quake 4 is now in the #10 position now that the game is retailing for $15.
WOW wasn't the only returnee in the PC top 10 during the week. The Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff expansion pack landed in third, ahead of Company of Heroes (fourth) and the original Sims 2 (fifth). Thanks to a reduced average retail price of $15, Quake 4 reentered the chart in 10th place, below newcomer Reel Deal Slots Mystic Forest (eighth).
That is all on Gamespot!

 Smokin' Some Fast Fry
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 8:36 PM
Category: Quake IV

Godlike has a Quake 4, deathmatch level up on Map Factory that is called Fast Fry.
I basically want to be free of this project.. But I think it's a fun little map to play. I am not going to take the time to redo the visual style.. but let's just say that "clean and modern" isn't going to be a theme I use a lot.
Get some Fast Fry.

Category: Quake IV

 Going Phrantic
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 6:27 PM
Category: Quake IV

Over on Map Factory there's a Quake 4, deathmatch level called Phrantic.
This is my first map for Quake4. This was originally a Q3 CPMA map which I made (nodm11/cpm24). I remade it for Doom 3, where the reaction was split between people that liked it for being like a Quake map and people that didn't like it for being like a Quake map. Perhaps in Quake 4, people will just like it. Though the layout remains basically the same, each version has been tailored to suit the game. This version is no exception.
That level is available thanks to Map Factory.

Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

HapSlash has released anouther Jedi Academy skin, in the form of the Gamorrean.
My first experiences with Gamorrean guards, other than Return of the Jedi of course, was in Dark Forces. Man were they scary! And big, and slimey, and smelly, and ugly as all... where was I? Oh yes, anyway, HapSlash brings us the Gamorrean guard, straight from Gamorr. Complete with fur undies, this pig is ready to get in your face!
That model is available thanks to Jedi Knight Files.

 HapSlash Released Another Model
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 4:09 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

HapSlash has done it again with anouther Jedi Academy skin. This time he's released a model that's called Kelia Leenat, which is based on the Vampiress Selene from Underworld.
As HapSlash has shown in the past, he's not happy with only one way for his models to look. This model includes 22 leg variants, 6 torso variants, and 5 head variants. Yet another wonderful female model for everyone to play with, and with plenty of options to choose from, everyone in a server could be using it and could still look different!
Check out Kelia Leenat over on Jedi Knight Files!

Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

FHL34 released a SOF 2 Weapon Toolkit which is a tutorial for any weapon skinners/modelers that may be out there. That's available over on Soffiles. By the way, I just noticed that the links to most of the various Filefront Network sites loads some weird 404 error page but you can avoid this by hitting the stop button on your browser before the 404 loads. Hope they fix that soon.... it's annoying.

 Scooter's Canon Mod v0.3
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 1:49 PM
Category: Voyager: Elite Force

Scooter's Canon Mod v0.3 is a TC mod for Elite Force, designed by Scooter.
As in the previous modifications, the Hazard Team now wear Voyager uniforms as opposed to Hazard Suits. This version has many welcome changes however, the first being that the Phaser, Phaser Rifle and I-Mod no longer have a gloved hand, and the Munro model now wearing a Voyager uniform too, for when you come across those pesky mirrors. The hazard suit animations have also been imported into the voyager uniform models, so no more Chel standing with his legs stuck in a bench.
This version goes beyond the uniforms however, and now includes much improved menu graphics, replacement sounds and new textures throughout the game. The sounds are much more cannon and have a much more "Trek" feel, while textures are not only more "canon" but also have a much higher resolution that really does improve the quality of the game ten fold.
Check that TC out on Elite Force Files.

If you want to play this map with the same graphics as in those screenshots, you have to click on the "default settings" button in the menu and set the "texture mode" to "trilinear or bilinear".

 HS Anakin Skywalker Skin
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 4:59 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

HapSlash released his Anakin Skywalker skin for Jedi Academy, which certainly looks pretty snazzy.
HapSlash brings us the tragic hero, completely with a customizable wardrobe and three - count 'em three - amazing soundsets. If you thought the Anakin soundsets out there already were good, have a listen to these. With a minimal amount of background noise and music, these sounds will really make you feel like you are Anakin Skywalker, rather than just watching him. The soundsets include an Episode 2 soundset, a neutral Episode 3 soundset, and a more Sith-like Episode 3 soundset. Of course Anakin must match his voice, so several clothing variations have been included: Episode 2 'fro hair, normal Episode 3 duds, hooded and unhooded robes, and a battle-worn version.
Check that out on Jedi Knight Files.

 Ailyn Vel Skin
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 1:50 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Ailyn Vel, daughter of Boba Fett is a skin for Jedi Academy that was made by Pahricida.
First let me say that this skin looks nice. Let me then say that I read the Wookieepedia article (Hah! I spelled it right!), and I must say that this skin looks like the pictures provided. Then I need to say that I found the history behind this character to be interesting, and sad. She gets killed by Jacen Solo. -_- And I thought he was a nice guy! How could he kill such a cool person!
That's available on Jedi Knight Files.

 Zanzibar! Zanzibar!
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:24 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Melkor released a multiplayer map for Jedi Academy that is called Zanzibar which happens to be a remake of a Halo map.
The map looks accurate from what I remember. The center of the map contains a huge tri-vane in a large arch that turns due to some scripts, and on certain parts of the map there are smaller vanes. The map is completely walled in on three sides, with a beach on the fourth.
Jedi Knight Files is where the level can be downgrabbed.

 Alternative Tentacles
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:55 PM
Category: Quake IV

Over on Map Factory there's a Quake 4 level called alternative tentacles.
The layout of the map based on the q3a map day of the tentacle (mrhdm2) by Mr.Herring. however, it`s not an exact conversion. I changed complete architecture, have added a second teleporter and a podest with railgun on it. It`s not a big map, so it will be suitable for tournament and deathmatch, tdm is also possible.
That level is available thanks to Map Factory.
