Today we unveil the first gameplay footage from 2.3, due for release in December. The footage features first-person Gestir action, the new class joining the Viking team.
In the footage you also see a quick preview of te_sandstorm. te_sandstorm is a three-territory map based loosely on the old pvk_desertruin and being worked on by myself and Jahhur. More information and media will be available on that in the future!
In case you missed last week's post, be sure to check out the Full 2.3 Change Log!
Stay tuned for more media and information on 2.3 as we ready ourselves for release.
We are always looking for feedback from members and staff about the service we provide here on the Network. Sometimes this feedback is given in some very strange places instead of direct to us and as a result is either missed completely or mistaken for bitching at something else. To combat that we are opening the floor upto everyone to say what they think about the Network both good and bad.
This is a Network wide post so if you do wish to discuss a specific site then say which site you are referring to.
This will remain open for 1 week and at the end of that week a select few will be invited into our Vent server to discuss it further. This will give direct access to the NA's along with our managers who will be there to answer questions. This may then be recorded and made available to download.
As with any debate on this scale there are rules. These rules must be observed or your post will be deleted and in extreme cases you may be banned for the duration of the debate.
The rules
1) Observe all standard Network rules.
2) Be concise in your posts. Simply saying something sucks or I agree is not going to have your opinion noticed.
3) Post as much info as you can to put your point across and if possible include a example.
4) Be polite to other members even if you do not agree with them.
5) Be patient when waiting for a reply if you ask a question. We don't have all the answers but we will do our best to find them for you.
Today, we have great news for everyone! Pirates, Vikings and Knights II beta 2.3 is currently in content lock and undergoing final testing and preparations for our first Steam release!
We have put together a full change log of what you can expect in 2.3. A few of the larger items in the change log include:
- New Class - Gestir
- Added Win system to use Medals now, Gold for winner and Silver for second placed team.
- Added over 100 achievements
- New Objective Score System
- Added kill assists
- Blocking direction is now chosen automatically according to the attack direction of the opponent closest to the blocker
- When attacking a blocker with a fully charged attack the blocker may be stunned and some damage will be delivered to him
- Reduced perfect parry effect
- Many balance changes
- New team and class selection menus
- Added a new GUI for the end of a Round that will display the top mvps for the winning team, or if its a draw, the top 3 from all teams
- Personal Score Breakdown now displayed on scoreboard
- Many map and game mode changes
- Many bug and exploit fixes
- and Much more!
For a full list of the changes in 2.3, check out our Full Change Log!
Now, as I mentioned at the beginning of the post, we are currently undergoing our final testing and preparations for getting 2.3 on Steam. As it stands right now, we expect to have 2.3 released by the end of this year, assuming nothing major gets in the way!
More information on our release date will be available throughout the month. Until then, here are a few screen shots to check out!
As always, be sure to join our Official Game Group on steam to participate in future events and to earn the "Part O' The Crew" achievement!

So onward with what everyone is interested in. First I'm going to show you guys the Buu model that Enix has been working on. He did an excellent job with the detail. Enix is a team player and he always comes to the table with excellent creative. Take a look at the screenshot below to see for yourself
The newest addition to our team Vassago has been hard at work with the new Buu Insides Map. I have to say that he is doing an amazing job and it's great to have professional experience on the team.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade Firestorm over Kronus mod
Finally, after working on it for over half a year, the FoK mod team presents you the latest, shiniest, best FoK release there has ever been. Firestorm over Kronus (FoK) is a modification for the Dawn of War RTS by Relic Entertainment. A closer-to-Tabletop gaming experience with modified gameplay, win conditions, models and tech trees. Introducing an Army Painter with randomised models (i.e. you won't see the same model twice if you view a unit more than once) - this feature is only partly implemented at this stage. An improved and extended UI that allow a truly Tabletop-range of squad choices, abilities and upgrades.

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Recon Trooper's New Empire Side Mod
This side mod, by Recon Trooper, is a set of mostly visual changes for the stock Imperial side. The changes themselves are a very odd assortment, and it might be more appropriate to call this a collection of random assets from people rather than a true "sides mod," since it seems like most changes (retextures, models) are simply things other people made and the author downloaded and slapped together.

With this download, you will definitely want to strap on some of your more trusty weapons and grab an extra clip or two!

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Mos Eisley Spaceport
There's a lot to see here, and it is of course best summed up by simply downloading the map and trying it out. What's most interesting about this map is the talented blending of stock assets with custom assets (the map is populated by a majority of the latter, although most are so well-done you wouldn't guess it at first glance). You can walk into an innocuous small building and all of the sudden find yourself in an underground pathway leading to several hangars and walking you under a large part of the map (this part specifically was probably my favorite), such is the level of detail.

Jedi Knight III: Playable Model Pack
Fun. This is an old file that some of you may remember...it makes the hazard trooper, rocket trooper and Ragnos playable. Yes, Ragnos. You can play as Ragnos. Quite amusing, being able to float around as a ghost swinging your lightsaber. Even better still, I use the light side of the force, so testing this out in-game was even more awkward than ever. But even playing as Ragnos didn't protect me from Tavion's wrath. Stupid yawing NPCs...

Welcome one and all to the 147th FileFront Weekly Insider!
It's that time of the week again, and I am back! Some of you may be wondering what happened to the Insider these last few weeks, well, I've been busier then usual with family visits and camping and other real life stuff...but, that was then, and this is now!

Before moving on to this week's edition of the Insider, I would like to Congratulate two new additions to the rank of Forum Admin at the FileFront Forums! The two lucky buggers are:
Ensign Riles - Formally a SuperModerator for the Forums, Riles is the holder and collector of all information...if I had to guess, I would say that he is jealous of the interwebz and he is trying to out do it! Go ahead, ask him anything, I bet you he has a screenshot of it!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Like Riles, STALKER was formally a SuperModerator at the Forums as well, he is also the Site Admin for STALKERFiles, and a Network Admin here. STALKER is unigue, as he wishes with all his heart that he would have been born as a Canadian. I have never seen such an envious compulsion...it is to be commended!
On a serious note, these promotions were well deserved...enjoy boys!
CONGRATZ TO YOU BOTH!!
The staff of FileFront Network appreciates your patience and thank you during the technical difficulties that we have been experiencing lately. We are working through it to get it straightened out and we hope to be back to 100% very soon!

Originally imagined in 2003 as a mod for Half-Life, Cat-life has spent a great deal of time on hiatus over the years. After a long delay due to missing team leadership, the mod reorganized under current Team Cat-Life leader BiGToM. Yet the greatest missing component, a coder, remains absent. The biggest single set-back has been the cat's POV code. Now, with corrected code in hand, Team Cat-Life is able to wrap up other portions of the mod.

Knights of the Old Republic II: Darth Nihilus - IMPROVED
Anyone who has played Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords knows that, for all of the build-up that goes on throughout the game, the fight with Darth Nihilus is incredibly disappointing. His Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, and Wisdom have all been given a boost, while Intelligence and Charisma have been left alone. Overall, this should make his attacks a bit more effective, while simultaneously weakening your own.

I thought I had finally found the isolation and loneliness I sought, there in the middle of the woods in nowhere. I was wrong. In the last years more people have found their way to my paradise of isolation and a village has grown up around that rune stone."

Half-Life 2 News
Today is the 1st of October and it certainly is a good day. Eric Murphy has lately been putting in some extra time to pester the developers into helping him out with a special plan.
Well, we have one heck of a treat for you today! The plan was being put together, but we then made a last minute change to the 1st of the month update. Through Eric's nagging, he managed to get a hold of some sneak peak screen shots from a brand new map. I can't tell it what it is, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Stick around for the October 15th RTTF posted on the forums for more news and information on the plan.
There was a issue with files being sent to us via the insite upload system. The issue was that some files seemed to not make it through to our ftp servers so we could not add them.
I am happy to report that even though some files still do this we are able to work around this small bug. The bug itself is currently being fixed but it does not effect you submitting your files in the normal way.
There are many reasons why you should use the upload system instead of the email. The main reason is you can set the file up your self. You can add your own description. readme and screenshots. The upload system also makes adding your files to the sites a lot easier for the staff and will usually result in them appearing on the sites quicker.
As always if you have any questions then let us know at network@filefront.com and we will answer them for you.

Hi guys, many of you don't know me, im armdude101 the site manager over at mohfiles.com and i brought you guys a new video. It's my first team fortress video so it's not that great but it'l still get a couple laughs out a you.
Anyway im goign to try to start making some skins for half life 2, team fortress 2, and other source based games. So you might see my name up here a bit more.
UPDATE.
Feel free to submit your files in the normal way. We have found the issue and our staff will be recieving instructions tomorrow about what to do if a file still reports the error to you.
There is a small error on how our back end sees certain files but the file is there so no work is lost and we can add your work to the sites.
All site managers please check the staff forums tomorrow.
Goody
FileFront Network Administrator.
Dear FileFront Users,
We would like to address some ongoing issues with our gaming sites. As most of you are aware there are a number of bugs that are currently affecting things like voting and, on rare occasions, the user upload system. We can assure you all that these issues are currently being worked on along with other areas of the whole of the FileFront sites. If you wish to upload a file you can contact your site via: team@XXXXfiles.com and send them the file directly through those site specific email addresses. We do encourage you to try and submit it via the upload system (if it is a small file) first; You can also upload your files directly to FileFront.com and use the server 2 server function that is available on the upload pages.
The system we employ is a custom made system so as you can imagine these things do take time. This coupled with the fact that since the take over in April, our tech team is drastically smaller than it was under Ziff Davis.
Some of you will no doubt say "it is just a few small bugs so just get them fixed", right? Well in some aspects that is true but first the cause needs to be identified and any fixes tested to make sure it does not break something else. This has happened many times under ZD so our Tech guys are airing on the side of caution.
We would also like you to take something else into account, Development.
Thats right, the development of these game specific sites. By today's standard, our back end is old and, to be honest, the sites themselves need to be overhauled. This is what we are doing right now on top of hunting down bugs. The development means a lot to both staff and you, the end user.
With a better back-end it will add functions and make the adding of sites for new games so much easier and quicker. The site will be redesigned to bring a fresh new look to them. Uploading your files should be easier and hopefully see them on the sites a lot quicker.
So why are we posting this? The answer is simple: Some of you may think that the sites are bieng neglected when the opposite is true. They are going through a massive development phase it is unfortunate that during this phase there has been some disruption to you, the end user and for that we apologize.
Please stick with us and if you have any questions then feel free to direct them to network@filefront.com
Update.
Please submit files in the normal way now as we are able to add your files.
- The Network Staff
Hi all, we seem to be having an issue (on our end) with mirroring your file submissions, although everything that you, the developer, is required to do is not effected, what we, the Network Staff have to do to get your file mirrored to the site is. This only effects files that were sent in within the last three days.
We are working hard to get this resolved, but until we do, we would like you to submit your files to the team email belonging to the site...generally the email would be: team@xxxfiles.com Feel free to IM, email or go through the FileFront Forums to contact the site staff for the team email addy. As soon as this issue is resolved, we will let you know!!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We thank you for your patience and hope to have this cleared up ASAP!

Cat-Life Beta Announcement - Mod News Posted by: GobDemoMaster on 09-07-2009 @ 11:47 - Source: http://www.bwldevelopment.com/
This News Item has been viewed 70740 times!
Half-Life News
Originally imagined in 2003 as a mod for Half-Life, Cat-life has spent a great deal of time on hiatus over the years. After a long delay due to missing team leadership, the mod reorganized under current Team Cat-Life leader BiGToM. Yet the greatest missing component, a coder, remains absent. The biggest single set-back has been the cat's POV code.
However, as has been stipulated before, this mod about a cat trapped and ownerless during the Black Mesa incident has plenty of lives left. Earlier this week, BiGToM announced that an older piece of code from prior efforts had been successfully implemented. The original code had been fraught with bugs such as monsters sinking into the floor. Nevertheless, after a lengthy wait for a new coder [a wait that included a cash reward], the early code was modified and fixed.
Now, with corrected code in hand, Team Cat-Life is able to wrap up other portions of the mod. With this news, the team has also announced a target date for the first stage of Open Beta testing. Expect to be able to download and play the Cat-Life beta in November.
The beta will also include additional bonus content including maps that were cut from the project and some of the original concept.
To help celebrate, I've asked BiGToM for some new screen shots for the gallery.

Achievement servers and maps are cheats imo, so that's what i voted for....
I still cant see how this grants more fun for anyone, unless you dont have alot of time for playing, then still...
Also, i came up with this > 'Acheatment Servers'
Anyway, this is all my personal opinion... i dont play the game anyway =)

Going on those maps is a realy crappy thing to do.
Whilst oyu will get a achievments there is no glory or such to be had.
Its just full of Fail as you lot like to say.
#3 - On the site yes, in the game no. - Posted by: GobDemoMaster (Staff) on 06-19-2009 at 07:47
Going to achievement maps doesn’t really help the player; it just makes them look stronger even though you can still kill them just as easy (usually). For instance I ran into a guy with all of the new items/weapons that he said he “earned” but after killing him countless times he admitted that he cheated to get them and asked me to take it easy on him. Making him no better then a nebew without them. So I say H*** no achievement maps are cheating. As for them being on the site I’m ok with that because it is optional for people who want look “good” but in the end they are just robbing them self of the fun of this game.

Jedi Knight III: Battle on Mygeeto BETA
This particular map is a command post, set on Mygeeto. Now that the blissfully unaware people might know what it is, I can get down to the juicy part. No run of the mill siege map, the idea is that the enemy is attacking a crucial Republic base on the mountains of Mygeeto. Your objectives: Bring an ATST into the base, destroy the core, and do numerous attacks on the infrastructure.

Dawn of War Dark Crusade: Biffy's Ravine 4p
A good 4 player map from martlew, Centering around "Biffys Peril", with more of a Jungle feel, less urban. It's quite a big map, and a tip would be to claim the center before your opponents, though if you're playing against "Hard" AI Like I was, this shouldn't be a problem.

Don Kain is back once again, with yet another mod related to the Clone Troopers from the movies. This time, he's given us a several sets of armour and helmets, as well as a gun and several texture tweaks to use in the first Knights of the Old Republic game. He appears to have gathered the models and textures from a number of different sources and brought them all together into this one pack, so that they are all compatible.

Well, HOUOU decided the hilt needed some editing so here it is, a revised second version.

Half-Life News
Hi everyone,
In these past weeks and recent days, I've been working quite a bit to improve it as much as possible for every visitor here on HL2files. But truth being told, It's not always that easy. When you want to do something as good as possible, it may take up quite some time. While I may not be fully done with a few things, I'd at least like to show you guys what I'm currently working on and what I have finished. So, let's start with:
Category Changes:
You may or may not have noticed this, but all the categories in the Half-Life 2 section is being re-done. Currently, It's quite a mess and unsorted. As you can see on the main HL2Files Category system, there are quite a bit of sub-categories which needs to be sorted out. All those categories within "Mods" will be moved to "Modifications" under the correct sub-category. This means from the modifications category, you can either go to Singleplayer mods or Multiplayer mods. All the Garry's Mod and Left 4 Dead files has been moved as well to the root of the Half-Life 2 Files File Section which can be found by clicking on this text link.
I can guarantee you It will look so much better when it's finished. This is also the reason why the recent Left 4 Dead files being added are duplicates as I had to re-add them from SteamFiles to the HL2Files section. If you have any suggestions or comments before the completion, please feel free to share it.
Lightbox aka prettyPhoto:
As of yesterday, I'm adding Prettyphoto images in the latest news as you may already have noticed. prettyPhoto is a jQuery based lightbox clone. Not only does it support images, it also add support for videos, flash, YouTube, iFrames. It's a full blown media lightbox. You may still wonder what is exactly does.. But instead of me explaining it, I might as well show you. Click on one of the images below:
Have some patience while it is loading the screenshots. The image will expand perfectly within your current browser/resolution size so you no longer have to scroll to see the whole sized image if it is bigger than your current resolution.But once loaded. If you prefer seeing the whole image instead, simple click on the top right expand icon.
You can also actually move forward and backwards by either clicking on the left side or the right side of the image. If it doesn't display anything, it means there are no more images in that direction. Feeling a bit lazy to click? You can also use the arrow buttons on your keyboard to move from image to image.
Roundbox & Other Things:
Have you seen the orange round cornered boxes around the news lately? Yea, that's the roundbox. Was used within the mod profile center, but I found it a good idea to use it for the news & files as well.. Why? To make it look better and to make it more appealing. There are also some modifications that will be made in the left side menu, new things being added and removed as well. But that information will be shared later on in the future. I'm sorry if this is a bit short on info, but It's 4AM and it is quite.. .well, early in the morning and I really have to get some sleep. If you have any questions or suggestions or comments, feel free to share them below in the comments. I really appreciate it!
Welcome one and all to the 145th FileFront Weekly Insider!
It's that time of the week again, and I am back! Therefore we have listed all the major gaming happenings for you below, and remember, if you see something that you would like to be added to the Insider, or have a suggestion, simply drop us an E-Mail at The Insider! Before we move onto the Gaming Ins & Outs on the Network, I have the privilrdge of providing you with a few Staff Profiles, so that you can know the people behind the names. Starting off this week's profile is one of our newest Network Administrators:
"Goody"
Hi I am Goody the site manager for SoF Files. I have been there for a couple of years now and loved every minute of it. I got the job there when a FileFront legend retired (Sir Paul) and he put my name forward to Pro-Filer for the job as there were no other staff on the site. Not long after that I was made a mod on the forums and set about starting the FileFront Clan which to be totally honest was a flop. We did however manage to get a good group of people together and we are still going. The clan moved away though when Ziff Davies said that FF was closing for good and formed The Exiled Gamers. In many ways we are still the old FF| clan as we have loads of FF staff there and it is doing better than ever.
Any way back on topic A few weeks ago I get a email from a Mr Funsocks saying contact me you will like what I have to say, So I did and suddenly I am a Network Admin (Excellent) with all the privialges that come with it. But wait, No Hfx_Rebel means I would actually have to do some work and oh boy how the staff have made me work Rebel is back now and everything is good again but the real suprise is just how much goes on in the background and how much some of the staff do. I though SoF Files was busy but there are staff running 3 or 4 sites that are a lot busier and do it so well. I have a new found respect for all of our staff and I am so glad i am in a position to help them all now.
Next up is another of our newest Network Administrators, and remember, if you think his signature on the Forums is just wrong, you can help the cause by placing: Just say NO to STALKER in your sig!!! Please welcome to the stage:
"S.T.A.L.K.E.R."
Who is S.T.A.L.K.E.R.? Is he some shadow character that hunts in the night and reigns death upon the unjust? Is he some sort of fantasy character only cooked up in some twisted souls imagination? Is he a 22 year old college grad from Pennsylvania who spends entirely too much time on the internet?
I know which one I want it to be... and dammit it ain't the last one.
I joined the forums way back in July 2002, part of the epic "Class of 2002" which has such great, upstanding....hmmfppff.....likable....hmmpfffhfhf. .....sorry, I can't type those words when referring to anyone from 2002 without laughing. Joined by others such as book, groddy and Mr. Matt we made a small and almost unnoticeable splash on the forums. Back in the day of "Gaming Forums", long before the corporate fat cats took over we talked about random and useless things, made fun of people and spammed everywhere. You know, exactly like we do today. Over the many years on the forums I was just a normal member (normal is subjective), until one day when me and another insane asylum escapee by the name of Nusentinsaino decided to annoy AzH (this was a favorite past time of anyone who knew him) and ask if we could be moderators. We knew the #1 rule of "How to be a moderator" was NEVER ask to be a moderator, but we were young and stupid and apparently so was AzH because he actually listened to us and hired us on as staff (You will note that this day is also referred to by many dooms day prophets as the start of Armageddon).
From then on I was a regular fixture (or couch, depending on who you asked) on many of the more popular forums. It eventually got to a point where I was modding 9 different forums at once (and actually reading 3 of them!). After quite a long time of pretending to mod the forums I was suppose to the Dark Lord of the Peach (aka That German Guy aka Lord Wiener) approached me about becoming green. I originally though he was going to kill me and let me rot until my skin turned green but he just wanted to know if I wanted to be one of the "Super Moderators" on the forums. Due to many changes it was some time after this original conversation that I was actually given the power that SuperMod's possess and banned my first advertiser. They say the first is always the easiest and it is true, these days I have no trouble whatsoever completely destroying a users entire forum life and wiping their existence from the forums. I even sleep at night while listening to the joys cries and screams of their tortured souls, still trying to convince us to buy shoes from Africa or that we have one the Nigerian Lottery.
From that day I have patrolled the forums in my big green vest helping those who ask me by directing them to PM Admiral Donutz with their questions. Posting well thought out and helpful messages to users in the Intro Forum (Donutz LIES!), and just generally hanging around to keep you lot in line.
As for the network... I can't recall when I joined but I am going to assume it was at some point between July 2002 and today. I have a feeling I am close. Back before the guys at GSC stole my name to use on their video game series (the fact it was called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pre-2001 is of no importance here) I was just another network user hanging out at Jedi Knight Files and then a site went up for the upcoming (and would be upcoming for 5 years) game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl (or Oblivion Lost, depends on the time period). I applied to be staff on the site, starting small, with news post and POTD submissions. Over time I worked my way up to the Vice-Site Manager position, where I did a little of everything. After the site manager left, I took over and have been there ever since. I have worked on some other sites, FEAR Files and the like but my heart has stayed with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series.
Recently (you all saw the news post) I was given the opportunity to have even more power to abuse.....erm... ignore that.... I was given the opportunity to join the ranks of past greats like AndrewD, Azzr, and FileTrekker in the league of Network Administrators. I still run S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Files but also help out on any other sites that may need it and make it a personal mission to annoy Mr.Funsocks as much as humanly possible.
This has been a brief and mostly factually portrayal of the past 7 years of my life on the FileFront and Gaming Forums little corner of the internet.
Feel free to PM/Email me any questions you have on the forums or network so I can immediately forward them to Admiral Donutz or Mr.FunSocks respectively.
That is it for the Staff Profiles this week, I hope to have some more ready for you in next week's edition! Now, onto the Gaming Ins & Outs from the Network!

Kaiden_Verak makes his FileFront modding debut today, with this reskin of the Silver lightsaber blade for the second Knights of the Old Republic game. This mod basically replaces the silver blade texture with a black blade in the style of the one from The Force Unleashed.

Jedi Knight III: Arcane Weapons Pack
This is a perfect example of good design work. Not because its particularly elegant or eye-catching (which it is), but because of the authors approach to it. Straightforward really, he didn't see one, so he decided to make it himself! Dyyor has presented us three simple weapons. A sword, a gauntlet (that thinks its a sword) and a shield.

Haha, I'm back! This time I have something new for you! But before I say anything about that, just a word on what's going on with the team. Recently a new member, Micah, joined the team. He will help by doing some modelling and graphics. Another graphic artist may follow Micah by joining soon. Hopefully that will move ahead the mod a little, I want to play!
And now, I'm going to talk about something that you've never seen. A new map: Luigi Raceway! This map is a race map, easy to run just because there aren't lot of curves here. Two big curves, with a long road and a tunnel, where players usually put items like fake item boxes. Not hard, huh? A great map for beginners. I successfully got some screens of the map, still WIP, it's why it looks like models and textures are low quality.
Wait! Do you know what the fake item box is? It's simple: it looks exactly like those real item boxes you use to collect items. You just place the fake one on the road, and if another player who thinks it's a real box takes it, they will just crash. It's very funny to see opponents falling for it, muahaha! Any way to know if an item box is faked? Well, there are a few differences between real item boxes and fake item boxes, like the question mark. But you will see that when playing (I want to see everybody crashing into it, I know I'm evil. *huhu*).
I'll continue with a few words on another character: Luigi! Luigi is Mario's brother (another plumber...), and if Luigi didn't dress himself in green clothes but red ones, we could totally mistake them, even if Luigi is taller than Mario. It's why that on the road, their characteristics aren't so much different.
And for finish, some details on the controller support. I often see people asking if their control pad will work, if the Xbox 360 controller is good.... The team can't tell you if your controller will works just because they don't have it. To know, just try to play any Source game/mod with your controller: if it works, it will also works with Mario Kart Source!
(by the way, the Wiimote works using GlovePIE!)
This is it for today. Come back in two weeks for more information! Thanks for you attention. ~ Page Piranha ~ The MKS Team (contact us at mariokartsource[at]weaven.fr )
Muhahaha! It's me, once again... Page Piranha! Kneel down against my power...
Haha! Today I'm going to introduce one character, one weapon and one level. But first, some news from the team. The main coder, OneEyed, is still working on the kart prediction. Prediction is something very complex between the player and the server, and it's designed to reduce the ping and make the game more fluid for the slower connections. The Source Engine is not thought for the race games, so we are doing everything from scratch.
Okay. Do you remember the Green Shell? The Red Shell is looking the same... with only one difference: it's red. Simple, right? The real difference is in how it functions: the red shell follows the player right in front of you until it hits him or any other obstacle. If the Red Shell is shot backwards, it acts just like a Green shell. Oh, by the way, you can keep your shells behind your kart as a shield against the other shells!
Yoshi is a worshipped dinosaur, he is the Mario's best friend and he follows him around like a dog in all his adventures. Yoshi is able to say a few words, like "Yoshi", "Yoshi?", "Yoshi!" and "Yah-ooo!". Without a doubt he is the most popular racer of all those in Mario Kart. Some members of the forum are dedicated to him like a cult... They are sick.
I'm closing this news with a famous level: Doubledeck! This awesome level from MK64 will be in MKS, for our great pleasure. Thanks to KillerMapper
And voila, I wish you the best holidays and good luck for your exams.

A few weeks ago I get a email from a Mr Funsocks saying contact me you will like what I have to say, So I did and suddenly I am a Network Admin (Excellent) with all the privialges that come with it. But wait, No Hfx_Rebel means I would actually have to do some work 
and oh boy how the staff have made me work 
Rebel is back now and everything is good again but the real suprise is just how much goes on in the background and how much some of the staff do. I though SoF Files was busy but there are staff running 3 or 4 sites that are a lot busier and do it so well. I have a new found respect for all of our staff and I am so glad i am in a position to help them all now.
