Here we go... (again)
Posted by Scape_Goat on Tuesday, October 12, 1999 - 13:42 (EST)

Welcome to DF-21.Net!

This site will continue what Dark Forces: 1999 did for almost a year, but with a few important additions. As for now, there is only the Projects section, which is nothing more than an improved DF1999 Projects page. In time, a file archive will be added, along with links and other pages.

Now, for the credits:

Thanks to Sheldon Friedman for supplying the money to pay for this site. If not for him, you wouldn't be reading this.
And; a big thank you to Issac Botkin for creating most of the graphics you see here, and for helping with the design.

If you had a project listed on DF1999, you'll have to resend it for posting to DF-21. Use the link to the left.

Thank you,

- Scape Goat


Um, hello.

I guess I'd better establish myself here. I'm the second staff member of DF-21.net. I'll be here time-to-time to post news. I'll try to keep the news off of my own levels, but I'll post everyone's news here unbiasedly (is that a word?). So if you've got any news, just let me know.

Oh no! Run! Hide the Livestock! He's here!!!!
Posted by Madison Kane on Thursday, October 14, 1999 - 10:31 (EST)

Heheh. This is just a test, BTW. Since I spend soooooooo much time on the Internet (not a joke), I'll be able to dig up the latest DF and Star Wars developments. So, don't be too scared...yet. Heheh.

Site status
Posted by Scape Goat on Thursday, October 14, 1999 - 19:49 (EST)

Some sort of a links section will probably be opened early next week. At first, it will be just a list of text links with no descriptions, but that might change into something a bit more complex.
After that, work will begin on the files section.

Please be patient during the time it takes to get everything up and running. Feel free to e-mail me your questions and suggestions, or use the Feedback forum on the Message Board.

Site status
Posted by Scape Goat on Sunday, October 17, 1999 - 20:08 (EST)

In a short while, a Files section will be added to DF-21. That means you'll be able to download a large number of DF levels, components, and utilities from one place.
Due to limited space, however, only new and/or requested files will be available at DF-21.Net. This shouldn't be a big problem.


Interesting cameo in TPM
Posted by Madison Kane on Sunday, October 17, 1999 - 22:39 (EST)

I read this over at theforce.net:

In The Phantom Menace there is a short cameo of none other than The Moldy Crow leaving the planet Coruscant. It was one of many small cameos that sent props out to various fans. Check it out at Theforce.net Prequel Cameos.

Big Changes at DF Planet in the works
Posted by Madison Kane on Wednesday, October 20, 1999 - 20:40 (EST)

A little bird(?) from DF Planet whispered words to me about moving to its own web server and having its own domain...

Stay Frosty.
More news soon.


Just wonderful...
Posted by Scape Goat on Thursday, October 21, 1999 - 10:44 (EST)

For the first time, I've seen DF-21 using Netscape Navigator, and it isn't pretty.
I'll work on making this site more Netscape compatible next week. Tomorrow, I plan on opening the Files section...

More DF Planet News
Posted by Madison Kane on Thursday, October 21, 1999 - 16:48 (EST)

Well, I've got my own web server up, and DF Planet has officially moved there. There's a lot of work to be done, including the transfer of the level archive to DF-21, which will take that end of the files over. The new URL is dfplanet.dhs.org. The pages aren't finished, and the links are broken, so don't worry about that for the time being. This web server will be up during the school year. During the Christmas season and the summer season the site will return to Xoom.com. For now, however, I'm away from all that.


Files section up
Posted by Scape Goat on Friday, October 22, 1999 - 13:47 (EST)

The Files section is up. Its a bit on the empty side. but that'll change over time.

New files may be submitted by sending them to me.


Levels added
Posted by Scape Goat on Saturday, October 23, 1999 - 12:38 (EST)

I've added some levels to the Files section. A second batch is on the way.
Some of the authors are not listed. If you know a name, or see a mistake, please tell me.

Thanks to Madison for uploading them.
