Q4 Remaster is one of those mods that changes a bunch of stuff in the game. Here is the basic lowdown:Changing the way characters, weapons, environment, and even the gameplay its self; this mod will hit your Quake 4 hard and get ride of what you once thought it was. Don't expect to have a easy time playing this but a more realistic one keeping the game fresh and what we all once knew the Quake series to be. Quake 4 Files got the goods on Q4 Remaster.

If you happen to be into making levels for Jedi Academy then maybe you can make use of some Cantina Map Objects, which all appear to be musical instruments.This pack contains five map objects, all of which are instruments seen throughout the Star Wars Universe. SWG players will recognize these as instruments from the game, however they are also prominently displayed in film and other EU sources. The nalargon in particular is a mixture of canon and SWG styles. All wind instruments include a straight up and down version, and a leaning version. That is all on Jedi Knight Files.

I just went on the Raven Software site and noticed that they announed that Raven Artist, Glen Angus has passed away. I first visited his site after Phoebus showed it to me and admired his art. He was certainly a very talented artist and this is very saddening news.It is with deepest sadness that we at Raven announce the passing of our friend and colleague Glen Angus on Tuesday, July 19th. Glen was an artist of immense talents and a person of boundless energy. His family includes his wife Carolyn and two children Olivea (5) and Teddy (2). Goodbye, Glen. We’ll miss your creativity, your wit and your laughter – we know you’ll live on through your family and your art. The staff here at Raven-Games would like to express our condolences to Glen's family and friends during this sad time. Also here is his profile that he filled out for our side awhile ago.

If you happen to be into making levels for Jedi Academy then you may want to check out this Skybox 4-pack.Want a skybox? Don't want your own? This pack contains four pre-made skybox image sets. It includes only the images, however -- no sample map, no shader, no example images even, so this may be a little less accessible to less experienced mappers, despite a short skybox shader tutorial that is included. That's all on Jedi Knight Files.

gsg Mod is one of those mods that changes a bunch of stuff in the game. This one changes the uniforms and weapons in an attempt to make it look more modern. That's what I read anyways.This download will replace the stock uniforms and weapons so that everything appears more 'modern'. The first thing you will notice is the uniforms, they now take on the look of either terrorists, or Elite troops; You will also find a change in the many weapons found in-game. That mod is on Elite Force Files.

Hirato released a Spaceship Prefab for Jedi Academy. The prefab started out as map but never got finished, so Hirato released it so other mappers can use it in thier projects.However the author decided that, rather than scrapping the project, he would release what he had as a prefab. The result: a snazzy-looking mid-sized space craft for you to add to your own maps. That prefab is available thanks to Jedi Knight Files.

So I was looking through my text files for Raven related gaming sites that I haven't visited in ages. Several that I checked were gone, then I saw the link to Rurouni Kenshin: Redemption and was....'hey I forgot about this place!' So on visiting you can see that Griswald updated not so long ago and it looks like some of the team has lost interest and may well be retired. If you want to help in the --> (Graphics, UI, Programming, Mapping, Modelling, Skinning, etc) department(s) then let them know.As many of you know and can tell, the progress of RKR has gone even slower then a snail. Many many many setbacks have occured over the past few years and it's put a damper on alot of team members. With that being said, I still stand proud to be the Co-leader of this project. Rurouni Kenshin: Redemption!

Dafama2K7 released Q4 In The Dark (v1.6) which is a mod that makes the game darker..For those of you just tuning in, and are wondering what the Q4 In The Dark mod will do for you, and your gaming experience...it simply changes the game so that the lighting is even less then what it is with the retail version. Things that go bump in the dark, will take on a whole new meaning, as the only source of illumination that will be found in this download will be the flashlight that you carry, or the one mounted on your pistol and shotgun, a few desk lamps, and some swinging, half lit ceiling lights. That is all on Quake 4 Files.

There's only one catch...you have to find her first. The team is looking for help in the form of modeling/animation, texture art and concept art.
