August 28, 2004

We were down to our last bag of cheesy-poofs ... Mix-master Tommyboy had rocked the hizzouse, but Lightning Man and KennX had spilled Zima all over his DJ rig ...Courtnall6 was passed out on the pool table ... Firestorm had decided to explore the woods surrounding Da Fortress but hadn't been heard from in days ... El Insensatez  went to look for him, armed only with a bottle-opener ... after winning the chili-eating contest, Saracen had been in the bathroom for hours (and I wasn't going to go get him)

Yep, the party may have been winding down ... But suddenly, I heard a knock on the door and I ran to see who it was!

Why ... it was J_FOAM! Carrying bag after bag of cheesy poofs! He'd heard about the party and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. "Go get Saracen out of the can and you're in!", I quickly negotiated. "No problem", he said. I can only assume his full face mask must shield him somehow. And, oh yeah, he brought 24 new meshes for you all.

A flurry of updates today! As mentioned above, J_Foam signs up for eternal servitude ... er, I mean ... for a neat page here ... with 24 hexed meshes!

Plus, Saracen adds Parademon_versatile, a very cool flying henchman (8 hexes and 3 skins in the package!), and Silver Ghost.

August 18, 2004

Eight more excellent skins from El Insensatez today - Brainwave (1942), Mento, Polar Boy, The Shark, Time Trapper, Arkkis Chummuck and Tomar Re of the Green Lantern Corps, and Ultra Boy (Silver Age)!

August 16, 2004

A special note today - I've recently sent emails to everyone on the AFF mailing list asking them to confirm their desire to be on the list (by clicking a link in the email). I had to do this as I moved the mailing list to a Yahoo mailgroup (the old way I was managing it isn't available to me anymore). To date, I've gotten back responses from about 1/3 of the list. So if you have gotten that email (and still want to be on the list), please confirm. Thx!

August 15, 2004

The boyz here at Da Fortress are always working for their share of the never-ending supply of beer and cheesy-poofs. So today, mesher supreme (and master rapper), Tommyboy, unleashes some more of his meshes: Chameleon_Boy2_t, Female_versatile_flash, and Warrior_versatile_t.

August 11, 2004

Here at Da Fortress we like to do it up MEGA-style, so brace yourselves as KennX returns with a HUGE update! Behold the 38 hexed meshes and skins he's dropped off for your gaming pleasure: 2 Golden Age Atom variant meshes, Blue Jay, The Comet (Silver Age), Crimson Avenger, Dr. Polaris (60s and 80s versions), Kid Flash, Lightray, Robin (Classic), Samaritan, Starman (Will Payton), Wondergirl (ponytail), Zatanna, Six (!) Golden Age Atom costume variants, The Comet (red circle version), Dr. Fate (Classic and Hector versions), Elongated Man (classic purple costume), four Hawkman variants, Nazi Soldier, Nazi SS Stormtrooper, Shaloman, and 3 Starman variants! Whew, I need to sit down.

August 4, 2004

Today, I'm releasing an updated EZFX, version 5.1. This version fixes some minor problems with the last one (see EZFX page for details on fixes). I've also put together a Patched version (only 300K or so) for those of you who downloaded version EZFX 5.0 previously. Enjoy!

August 3, 2004

A bunch of new updates for Da Fortress are just around the corner, but I wanted to point out to all loyal Freedom Force fans that a new revamped Freedom Fans site is also happening any second (as you can tell by the message there)! Keep checking back there for the beginning of the next grand era of Freedom Force gaming!

August 1, 2004

And we're back!
First up today, El Insensatez continues his excellent Legion skin series with: Molecular Master, Night Girl, Polar Boy, Universo, and the White Witch!

Then, Courtnall6 unleashes 22 new or updated skins: Adam Strange (with hexed mesh), Amazo (with hexed mesh), 3 Aquaman skins (Classic, Modern, and Hook), Atom, Atom Smasher, Bizarro, Bizarro (Alternate), Captain Atom (Alternate), Captain Marvel, Count Vertigo, Johnny Quick (Golden Age), Kyle Rayner, Mister Miracle, Psycho Pirate, Red Tornado, Sentinel, Superman, Supreme, and Zyklon!

In addition, I've also put up 42 more of Courtnall6's older skins on his "More Skins" page.

One other note: my Recipes section is still being worked on, so the individual recipes pages are not available at present, but you can download all the hero files in one ZIP file as always. All the individual pages should be back up soon (with plenty of updates).

July 18, 2004

Today, I deliver the update you've all been waiting for: EZFX v5.0! With nearly 900 FX, this is the biggest FX collection ever. Also, it's compatible with Dr.Mike's FFX 2.3. If you are using both add-ons, just install FFX 2.3 first and then EZFX 5 - no fuss, no muss. Grab it while my server is still standing! And thanks to FXFORCE.COM for mirroring!

June 21, 2004

OK, I've released a new version of my EZ Hero utility. This version (2.6) has the following new features and fixes:
1. Fixed a problem with powers sometimes losing their type (melee, projectile, etc) when moving them around (thx for reporting this, kuertee)
2. Added support for FFX 2.3 attributes (Full version)
3. Fixed Send To DAT problems with melee (min and max range are now set right) and Passive Defenses (success rate now set properly)
4. Fixed the choices in the Accuracy list on Projectile powers

Hopefully, this is the last round of fixes, so I can now use it to finish my mods!

And some more exciting news - KennX joins Alex's Freedom Fortress and reveals himself, er... I mean, he reveals over 50 hexed mesh and skin packs (we're still a family site here). Check out his excellent work in the Skins and Meshes section.

June 18, 2004

While cleaning out his knapsack, Courtnall6 found some extra Avatar skins tucked away in there. Aly Catt, Blood Shadow, Captain Spud, Dark Magik, Podmark, and Tater Tot are now available for you to use (or abuse) in the FF Danger Room!

June 17, 2004

More great news today as Da Fortress gains another resident artist. Please join me in welcoming Courtnall6 ! Check out his first installment of over 150 skins in his new section under Skins & Meshes. Including his newest: four versions of Hourman (I, II, III, and Modern) and his own interpretations of possible offspring for the Superman and Wonder Woman of Kingdom Come - Marvel and Troia II.

And yes, I said "his first installment", as there are a lot more skins joining the party very soon.

June 6, 2004

Hmmm ... I may have to add a new wing to the ol' Freedom Fortress as we gain yet another contributor. Saracen (one of his many aliases) jumps on the Freedom Fortress train with some unique meshes for your FF gaming pleasure. Check 'em out in the Skins & Meshes section.

Also have a look at my updated Mods & Goodies page, where I've put up some new links to mods I'm playing now!

Plus, Firestorm delivers some skins from his old site: the Superman 2 Phantom Zone Villains: Non, Ursa, and Zod. Get 'em in the Danger Room with Superman now and make the Son of Jor-El bow before Zod!

June 5, 2004

We have some exciting news here at the ol' Freedom Fortress! A couple of new folks are joining in on the fun and sharing their great stuff with you all. Please help me welcome Lightning Man and The Beyonder as they join our resident artist, Firestorm, under the new "Skins and Meshes" section.

June 1, 2004

It's been a while, but trust me, I've been busy preparing a MEGA update for all the loyal fans of this site!

Getting back to what made Alex's Freedom Fortress great, I have 50(!) updates to hero files, including: Adam Strange, Amazo, Apocalypse, Blue Beetle, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Cosmic Boy, Count Vertigo, Deadshot, Doomsday, Dr. Fate, Dr. Fate (Golden Age), Dr. Strange, Element Lad, Fire, Firestorm, Flash, Galactus, Green Lanterns (Hal, John, Kyle, Guy), Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Hulk, Human Torch, Ice, Iceman, Invisible Woman, Juggernaut, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Parademon (Atomic), Power Ring, Punisher, Quasar, Robin, Robin-Tim, Sandman (GA), Sinestro, Stargirl, Starman (Golden Age), Stompa, Storm, Thanos, Ultron, Wildcat, and Wolverine!

One very cool thing about this batch of updates is that, in addition to tons of new meshes and power tweaks, a lot of them take full advantage of Dr.Mike's FFX-Squared add-on to make them play better than ever (those Green Lanterns are wild now)! Check them out !

As if that weren't enough, I also have 12 brand-new hero files for you all: Abomination, Atom (Golden Age), Atom (1948), Bizarro, Eclipso, Hourman, Hourman (Golden Age), Human Torch (Golden Age), Mary Marvel, Zyklon, and just for the heck of it two Transformers: Optimus Prime and Megatron!

May 2, 2004

Been tied up with lots of other things, but I'm happy to announce new skins by Firestorm! Click the Skins link for his Firehawk and Phantom Lady. And also make sure to check out the "More Skins" link on the Skins page for 56 other skins not available previously!

March 13, 2004

And we're back! After a long vacation (thanks to the bandwidth gods), the ol' Freedom Fortress returns with an important (well, I think so, anyway) utility for you all.

Check out my Goodies section for a new version of the original fan-made hero editor for Freedom Force, EZ Hero v2! This new version lets you edit most stats on your hero files (in addition to the mesh name which it originally did), supports FFX Squared attributes, and perhaps best of all for modders, will let you import a hero file directly into a mod's DAT files, with the click of a button. Yeah, you heard me! It's true!

February 10, 2004

Just a little JLA teaser, since FFVT3R is still a few months off, I'm back into it big-time.

JLA 7 - DARKSEID IS THROUGH FOOLING AROUND ...

February 2, 2004

It's been a while between updates (and we were down for a little while in Jan due to bandwidth issues), but we're back now! I'm once again hosting the great DCU Mod for a few days starting today, so grab it now if you haven't gotten it yet. Get it right here And congrats to the New England Pats on their Super Bowl victory! (it was quite a game, and the Panthers showed they deserved to be there, too)

January 6, 2004

Happy New Year to all! I'm once again hosting the great DCU Mod for a few days starting today, so grab it now if you haven't gotten it yet. Get it right here
