 Ocean Of Crime
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 1:54 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Ocean of Crime is a multiplayer map for Jedi Academy by Darth NormaN.
There’s so much detail crammed in here too, all the pipes, supports and all the other tiny little details outside (like the big spiky antenna things) that you can see through the glass. You really have to get outside the room and have a look around the outside to truly appreciate the amount of detail here.
Check out Ocean of Crime.

 Academy 1.2
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:25 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Academy 1.2 is a map that's made for FFA play and is set up for clans to use in clan activities.
This is my first map and I am glad people use it already ^^, it is an academy meant to be on Dantooine (even if the sky is of yavin). There is a large garden outside and the academy building is with a main door that leads to the main hall. There are 3 floors based on the importance of each one. It is a good map for clans because of the locations of the rooms that should be all very usefull for clan activities.
That is all on Jedi Knight Files.

 High Wire 4 Released
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 2:10 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

According to Soffiles you can downgrab VV High Wire 4 (V2.0).
Here's the latest version of the famous High Wire map. There are a lot of similarities with the previous High Wire versions when it comes to the layout of the map. what has exactly been changed you wonder now? Well, to start with the colour of the textures. The map is not longer grey and dark but now it's a bit more green/brown alike. This looks in my opinion better than the previous colours in High Wire.
That is available on Soffiles.

 UK Square
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 9:35 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

UK Square is a multiplayer map for Soldier of Fortune 2.
The map is set in a town, somewhere in the planet. It was abandoned untill you SoF2 players came ;) It's quite dark and that will affect your sight for sure. It's pretty hard to see someone on the other side of the map without a thermal goggles.
Downgrab UK Square off of Soffiles.

 Updated Bot Personalities
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:23 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Updated Bot Personalities is a Jedi Academy mod that adds some chat items to bots.
As bots are rarely used these days, not much effort goes in to making them human. In fact, most games don't even bother giving them seperate personalities. For those who don't like to play online, this mod adds some chat items to bots who are exactly the same as some others, or who talk very little, if at all. Most notable is the fact that Chewbacca actually used Luke's personality file, so I created his own. He's a little sarcastic, though.
Download Updated Bot Personalities off of Lucas Files.

This TrickJumper's H0m3 (beta 1) level appears to be for testing your Quake 4 trick jumping and multiplayer movements. Might be worth checking out if you're into that kinda thing. That is on Quake 4 Files.

 Consortium Temple
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 7:43 PM
Category: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

Here is a Jedi Outcast, clan map (minus the clan symbols) that is designed for multiplayer.
It's set underground, which is certainly something that I don't think that I've really seen that much. It's not a huge map, it's actually rather small. Small, but not cramped. I rather like the somber, almost tomb like atmosphere in this map.
You can download Consortium Temple off of Jedi Knight Files.

 Korax Working On New Engine Project
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 7:38 PM
Category: Hexen II

I got word through Phoebus that Korax has been working on a new engine project since 2005 and he wants to ensure this is the best engine release since the original HeXen source code release. I'm not sure at this point if the project will still be called NewHeXen or not and it looks like it'll be using the Quake engine. That's all I know and I don''t have any links or anything so you'll all have to wait for Korax to release more info.

 Ladies of the Sith - Cruise Liner
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:15 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Ladies of the Sith - Cruise Liner is a Jedi Academy, multiplayer map.
The map boasts three main areas: the main room, which is the only section I believe comes close to looking like a cruise liner, the bridge, and the starfighter areas. The main room is quite nice looking. It's got trees, what looks like hanging glass platforms, and what looks like quite a few fluorescent lights. The Imperial logos on the walls make me a little uneasy - I fear it would be something of a stuffy cruise/
That's all on Jedi Knight Files.

 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 3:03 PM
Category: Quake IV

I noticed on Planetquake that the Expert CTF Quake 4 v1.02 mod was released.
Bringing back 3 old school powerups that were in quake 2's expert mod, which are the Mutant Jump, Vampire Artifact, and the Powershield, all ith new fx features and nice new shiny pickup models. There were other additions made like adding armor regen server side option, tons of server side features. There are too many things to list in this little blurb, but its all documented in the online doc, and also in the ExpertReadme.txt file in the mods download.
Check out Expert CTF Quake 4.

 Download Some Padme Goodness?
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 11:37 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

You might want to check out this Padme_EpIII skin pack by StingRay for Jedi Academy if you're into the whole skin dealie:
This pack consists of mostly Padme in her more formal garb, as seen in Episode III, as well as one outfit from Episode II. All are quite good and the face is remarkably similar to Natalie Portman's without looking like a picture was just pasted on the head. Kudos there!
Check that out on Jedi Knight Files.

 Finca Mansion
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:25 PM
Category: Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

Finca Mansion is a multiplayer map for Soldier Of Fortune 2 and here is what the reviewer had to say about the level:
Now finally we have a map that is not set in Jordan or at The Shop, but this map is a Finca style map. There are plenty of places to explore or places to hide/camp wink The map is set both indoors and outdoors. The interior indoors is nice and offers you some cover. Outdoors isn't much cover though.
Check that out on Soffiles.

 Deception Released
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 5:35 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Here is a singleplayer mod for Jedi Academy that's called Deception and here is a bit of what the reviewer had to say about it:
The only thing this campaign lacked was professional voice acting (I'm talking about the voice acting technology, by the way - all the voice actors were actually quite good, they just didn't have a nice studio to polish up the audio). While this mod consists only of three playable maps, it is actually quite long - I've been testing it all morning and I just only now finished.
Go grab some Deception.

 FFA In Jumpspace?
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:09 PM
Category: Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Darth NormaN released a Jedi Academy, FFA level called Jumpspace.
This is honestly the most unusual map I’ve ever seen. It looks like something out of the movie TRON. At first when you load the map it looks like the lighting is on full bright, but it isn’t, there is proper lighting. But there are no shadows, which is kinda weird at first, but when you think about the setting of this map, which is like some kind of digital world, big black shadows would look out of place.
Hop onto Jumpspace.

 We Need More Metal!!
 Posted by Darren 'Doom Dude' Finch at 10:22 PM
Category: Quake IV

According to EshQuIA, We Need More Metal, which is a Quake 4, deathmatch level.
I built this level in about 3 months. It's my first map based on incredible Doom 3 technology and so I learnt tons of new, impressive at the same time, engine features. The level includes custom made terrain model that I created in 3Ds Max 8.
That level is on Quake 4 Files.
