...Is this thing on?
Posted by japh on Monday, June 3, 2002 - 14:07 (PDT)

Hiiii ^_^ ! So anyway, weapons patches now reside on a separate page. The entire site went all kablooey and trippy for a while just so I could prove a point, but it's back to normal now. Fenwar, you can put the Goobgun down now.


New Mini-Level, New Weapon Patch

A new mission, a new demo, and a revised mini-level
Posted by Jackson on Sunday, June 9, 2002 - 10:46 (PDT)

Barry Brien has released a new mission called BOBA FETT: Episode I- Assassination on Nar Shaddaa. For the moment, it is hosted at Barry's site, but the final version of the mission will be on DF-21 shortly.

Also, Downward Spyral has released an Unfinished Palace Demo. This second demo from the upcoming Battle for Naboo: The Escape project boasts more features (and foes) than the first demo release (Demos).

Lastly, Barry Brien's mini-level, Anchor Hed: Tusken Raid (Files/Missions/A-L) has been updated with a fixed bug and enhanced texturing.


Old Missions Finally Unleashed
Posted by Fenwar on Monday, June 10, 2002 - 17:47 (PDT)

Various older missions that are in the FTP that for one reason or another have now been added to the recently-overhauled downloads section.

They include Space Port, Operation: Evasive Action and Kyle Meets Kaled.


"Your webmaster, young Jackson will be..."
Posted by Jackson on Monday, June 10, 2002 - 19:40 (PDT)


In case you haven't been to DF-21 lately or if this is your first visit to our site (welcome!), I'd like to take this time to formally reintroduce myself. I'm Kevin Jackson, and I was just recently given the opportunity to assume the position of webmaster, a post that was previously held by Kevin "Scape Goat" Buscemi and Paul "Fenwar" Fenney. For those of you who have been here over the years, I'm certain you'll agree that I have enormous shoes to fill; both Scape Goat and Fenwar are luminaries, and their contributions to the Dark Forces community are invaluable. Still, I aspire to follow in their footsteps... to bring Dark Forces further into the 21st Century.

The webmaster transition is already well underway, but I would like to remind you all that by no means am I alone at the controls of DF-21. Although he will no longer be Head Webmaster, Fenwar has already made clear that he will continue working on the site, especially on its background tasks. Furthermore, we have a truly wonderful staff that works quietly behind the scenes [except when it comes to testing out very loud, carnival-esque color schemes ;-)]. Certainly, Kyle Katarn may be a one-man army, but I am anything but a one man staff. Truly, I am standing on the shoulders of giants, and I thank you for such support!

Feel free to email me with any thoughts, ideas or criticisms you may have. Before I go, I'd just like to thank Fenwar again for giving me this remarkable opportunity, the staff for their continual support, and everyone here at DF-21 for making this such a wonderful place.

May the Force be with you!


New Mission
Posted by Jackson on Thursday, June 13, 2002 - 21:12 (PDT)

Good things do come to those who wait!

The much-anticipated and much-betaed Boba Fett: Episode I- Assassination on Nar Shaddaa has finally made its way to its permanent home in the DF-21 ftp directory (Files/Missions/A-L). Barry would like to thank everyone who beta tested and helped out for their patience but asks that you "pleeze not say it's stuupid." ;-)

Enjoy!

P.S. Expect several project updates over the next few days.

Posted by Jackson on Tuesday, June 18, 2002 - 13:31 (PDT)
