This time it wasn't JorBo's fault - it was mine for not archiving the forums sooner.

Although there was an old neglected mailbox getting stuffed with over 60 MB of spam, too.

Forums will be back online in due course, please remain patient.

The forums will be back online again very shortly now. Due to my backups of the UBB data files being rather older than they should be, some forums will not immediately reappear. The threads are still there though.

Also, you may have noticed that there has not been any news this year.

Please mail me immediately ( fenwar@df-21.net ) if you spot anything else wrong. In the meantime, chat.df-21.org is experiencing record. traffic. levels.

See you there.

Most of the forums have been restored, and should now be postable on.

The following forums have not yet returned: Open Project, FAQ Builder, Multiplayer Enterprise. I'm working on these. If you miss them desparately please post relevant threads in Editing/Levels and they will be moved later.

That's the last update for today; please mail me if anything else goes weird.

No sooner have I deleted the old pants, than they are replaced by fresh new ones.

Working on it.

Except for the projects forums (hopefully later tonight or tomorrow) everything now seems to be back to normal.

Until next time... ;-)

PROJECT: META-HUMAN by galaxian studios - NEW

Mercenary: Prologue by Stryker One (Jacob Lachance) - NEW

ShadowCell, who authored walkthroughs for Beyond Glory 2 and Star’s End: The Cloak, has updated his guide for Prelude to Harkov’s Defection. Now, the walkthrough to one of the most thorough missions is even more comprehensive! (Articles)

After spending six months atop the Recently Added Missions list, Girl Eaten by Stormtroopers is finally unseated by two new (to DF-21) missions: A Jedi Night and Authoritative Conflict, both quite a few years old, are also "modified original levels" – that is, user-made missions that have made minor (but very noticeable) changes to original LucasArts levels.

Rey Perez's A Jedi Night, made long before the prequel trilogy, sends Kyle on a mission in Clone Wars-era Coruscant. Michael W. Moss's Authoritative Conflict, has you revisit Ramsees Hed in the time of the New Republic. At the moment, neither have been reviewed, but you can expect to see their Death Star ratings soon. (Files/Missions/A-L)

New to the Demo Shed Section (personally, I still love the original name) is a Train Demo by Matthew Horrocks. (Demos)

Also, as you've probably noticed by now, both A Jedi Night and Authoritative Conflict have received the rating of 1 Death Star.
