Site status
Posted by Scape Goat on Thursday, March 9, 2000 - 20:09 (EST)

I'm posting this to make sure that my intentions are known. Once I am finished work on my latest level, Discovery at Ironfort, I will begin doing all of the stuff that I've been putting off for as much as a month. This includes, but is not limited to, completing the mission archive, enhancing the MIDI music at DF-21, writing an article or two, editing some of the graphics on this page, making some new components, etc.
It may seem that not much is happening at this site, but that will be changing sometime soon. You've been warned...

Don't DL yet!
Posted by GAdRS on Monday, March 13, 2000 - 20:37 (EST)

If you go to TACC, you'll see that Library only has 1 download file. So don't think about DLing it from there, I've already got tons of requests for help because no one can find the LFD.... So post on their message board to fix that little problem.

Posted by Scape Goat on Thursday, March 23, 2000 - 13:03 (EST)

Two new files today. One of which is my latest level, Discovery at Ironfort.
I would like to thank everyone who helped and encouraged me over the past 8 months. The next 2 things on the agenda are to put the finishing touches on a new article I'm writing, and to complete the mission archive at DF-21.
Thank you and, as I've said with all of my new levels, enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed building it:

Please note that, as of right now, Xoom is experiencing technical difficulties... The shock!


Files and Project update
Posted by Scape Goat on Sunday, March 26, 2000 - 12:08 (EST)

A Project has been updated:
Project War Machine
Added: Progress information and a screenshot.

Also, two new files:


  • Fdfd_bm.zip - (BM) By LEC
    From the DF demo. Contains a damaged rock texture (goes with IPSEC1B.BM) and a black, metal texture. Compiled by Madine.
  • Fdfd_fme.zip - (FME) By LEC
    From the DF demo. Contains different versions of IENERGY.FME and DET_CODE.FME from the DF demo. Compiled by Madine.


Last and probably least, I'm updated IRONFORT.ZIP with a new .BAT and .TXT file. The following has been added to IRONFORT.TXT:

"Make sure that the file TEXT.MSG is not in your main DF directory (or whatever the equivalent is for a Mac user). This is vital. If you use the batch (.BAT) file to run the level, it will check for you. If you DON'T use the .BAT file, make sure to look for TEXT.MSG, and delete / rename it."

That should fix the problem if you ever saw the line "Tracking device planted" while playing DaI. If you already downloaded the file, don't bother getting this update.


Project update
Posted by Scape Goat on Monday, March 27, 2000 - 12:00 (EST)

A Project has been updated:
Crossroads (TC)
Added: Progress information.

The message boards will be down for an unknown period of time. They'll be back up and running as soon as possible.


Message boards are back
Posted by Scape Goat on Tuesday, March 28, 2000 - 18:24 (EST)

As the headline says, the message boards are back and should be fully operational. If not, make sure to let me know.

I apologize for any inconvenience or psychological trauma this may have caused.


New Article - QuickTips: Part 2
Posted by Scape Goat on Wednesday, March 29, 2000 - 14:14 (EST)

I've written up some more disjointed semi-nonsense in the form of Scape Goat's QuickTips: Part 2.

Enjoy... or at least tolerate.
