If you ever wanted to get rid of the white core in your saber and go all funky with a solid colored blade, you can do just that by hitting Jedi Knight Files and downgrabbing the Whiteless Saber mod that M.Combat released for Jedi Academy.

Quake 4 Files has the downgrab for the newly released Quake4 1.3 compatible version of the Delta CTF Mod.The DeltaCTF team has found the default Capture the Flag gametype present in Quake 4 to be devoid of many key game features and design elements which the CTF community has come to love and depend on for over a decade. This foundation created over the years by community created a well-recognized gametype where in Quake reached its peak during the era of Q2CTF. Over the years the degradation of this gametype has lead to the current crisis where the Quake CTF Community no longer has a playground to play in. Delta CTF hopes to resolve this by implementing those features in which CTF fans desire to see once again in Capture the Flag. Check out that Delta CTF Mod.

San Fransisco Meeting Hall is a RPG level for Voyager Elite Force. Apparently they didn't add any screenshots on the page for the map. Not sure why.This is the first map that FarCry has released, so he can get feedback on it and so other people can see what will be in the next 2 versions of it. This map is basically headquarters. Beginning with a train at entry, the main building includes a shuttlebay/cargo bay, a few bathrooms, a hallway overlooking the entrance, and a big mess hall for parties and such. It is an overall good map. So go forth and don't squint at the page trying to find the screens... Oops, nearly forgot the olde Elite Force Files linkage.

Taspiry is a FFA level for Jedi Academy that is one of those 'contest levels'.Okay, well first off, it's based on taspir, so there's a lot of lava. In fact, the majority of the map is either lava or mountains. The map itself consists of many duel platforms, and a couple of buildings. You can only enter one of the buildings, and it has a nice hole in the middle with lava in it, so watch your step. Take a look at Taspiry over on Jedi Knight Files.

Time To Get High and Dry

I was poking around and ended up on PlanetQuake. Seems they added their first Quake 4 map to the Level Of The Week list back in late July with High and Dry.This one uses the stock compliment of Quake 4 textures to create a metal look and feel that has a simple overall look, until you look a little closer. I suggest taking a closer look when there isn't somebody running around trying to stick a rocket into your carcass though. So on closer inspection, the map is chock full of little extra pipes and such to not only carry the theme but to add to the gameplay. By the way, the level is designed by Pat "pjw" Williams of Raven Software and was made while Quake 4 was being developed. Go read the rest of the info on High and Dry and get the downgrab.

Check out Urban Shop (1.0) over on Soffiles. The map is designed for Soldier of Fortune II multiplayer (24 players recommended).The map is made up from parts of maps you will know and play already, there are plenty of palces to explore in this map, you have an underground garage which gives you quick access to the enemies flag and plenty of inside areas as well, so good spots for you snipers as well. The eight available screenshots of Urban Shop (1.0) certainly look nice.

TinMan released Sabot a10 (Stupid Angry Bot Alpha 10) for Quake 4 multiplayer.It rises again from the grave to forever taunt me. Just a quick update to 1.3, but SABot had been previously shifted to the new fake-client framework which was a lot cleaner and stable. The ai code it still the horrible stuff that hasn't had any major overhaul since a7/doom3. But whatever, it works. Check out Sabot a10.

Lt. Cmdr. Salinga released anouther Quake 3 conversion map for Voyager Elite Force. This one is called Been smoking too long.The architecture has a geocomp feel to it with just enough geometric accents: floor lights, ceiling details, large pipes, staircase supports, custom teleporter, etc. The cell-shading doesn't help in the framerate department, but as long as you're not running a lowend box, you should be fine. Open air rooms and hallways give lots of room to move. Bots play well. This is a beautiful map and a keeper. Check that map out on Elite Force Files.

Tyrael64 released a model for Jedi Academy that is a completely new species and is called Kelfiirian.A Kelfiirian looks kind of humanoid, with an almost bug-like head and two antennae protruding from it. They are, in fact, a second set of eyes, so that the alien has a better view behind and around him. The species has a red, blue or green skin and a very long tail, which ends in a razor sharp bone, kind of like the Alien (from the identical-named film). Its feet resemble those of a bird of prey. That's all on Jedi Knight Files.

Some anonymous dude released a Force Cannon (Beta 1.0) that replaces the gauntlet/blaster.I got bored and made this weapon.. it replaces the gauntlet/blaster the weapon is named the Force Cannon, it impacts instantly, does massive damage+splash damage, has infinite ammo, the weapon also charges up. It's mainly meant for an insta-gib type play. It is by no means "finished", I figured i'd release it in a Beta version first see if anyone is even interested in it. The file is available on Quake 4 Files.

Deck 21 (Final) is a Soldier of Fortune 2, multiplayer map that has something of a Doom 3 theme going on.This map is very much so based around the Doom 3 theme. The map is very dark and spooky just like the aforementioned. There are plenty of dark corners for you to hide in and await your next kill. The author has also tried to make the lighting suitable to give you the atmosphere, with shadows and very nicely placed sounds. That map is available for download on Soffiles.

Amanda is a deathmatch level for Voyager Elite Force that is designed by Lt. Cmdr. Salinga.This map is quite nice, not just because it was made for the author's wife (aww how sweet), but because it has a cool design. It looks like it belongs in EF, as it resembles some sort of Romulan Installation. There are hearts throughout the map, and "Amanda" is written in the map. Download now to add to the Salinga Collection, or to see the nice gift the author gave to his wife! That level is available on Elite Force Files.

Other parts have been changed to various colors to make some nice variations. Included colors are green, blue, red, orange, purple, teal and yellow. The author has also provided the options to use this as a seperate entry in the model selection, and to overwrite the original Shadowtrooper. Singleplayer support has also been included, as have the original JK2 sounds. So check out that New Shadowtrooper (v2).
