Archives-2005 Updates

December 3, 2005

At last! The much-delayed EZFX 6.0 for Freedom Force vs the Third Reich is finally available!

Hope to add more FX in the future, but the 180 in this pack will hopefully tide you over a for a little while. It includes a bunch of new ones created specifically for FFv3R by IPS, Interceptor, and me, plus many old favorites from FF which I've ported over.

Grab it on my Goodies page!

Just some info today:

- I will be changing web hosts next week (April 30), so the site may be tough to get to for a few days around then. The URL address remains the same.

- The latest patch for FF (v1.3) fixes the problem with Windows XP SP2 and can be downloaded at freedomfans.com

- Still working on new versions of EZFX (v6) and EZHero (v3) for FFv3R. I'd say EZHero is about 80% and EZFX is about 75%.

April 16, 2005

The Freedom Fortress is pleased to welcome a new artist, Justintyme! Check out his first batch of 7 skins:

April 15, 2005

Today, Tommyboy gets off the Legion meshes for just one second and sends us a nifty Sand mesh. (Now back to the Legion meshes!)

Plus, a quick fix - I've updated Courtnall6's Real Reich mod to use DDS format skins. This will fix a problem that happens in Rumble Room (and probably MP mode) when using the updated characters like Nazi General. Basically, the old skin would still show up because the game would find the original DDS skins and use them instead of the modified TGAs.

I'd recommend first uninstalling The Real Reich mod if you had used it before and then downloading and installing the new one (version 1.1) from my Goodies page.

April 10, 2005

A very nice-looking assortment of 13 avatars by Courtnall6 today!

Welcome to a new year at the Freedom Fortress and it should be a big one for all you Freedom Force fans. The long-anticipated sequel to everyone's favorite superhero game is right around the corner (various recent magazine previews say it should be out around March-April). In fact, www.freedomfans.com/store is taking pre-orders for the game right now. I've ordered mine, go get yours now!

Today, we have a bit of a blast from the past. I am posting 33 original skins by the first artist at this site, Firestorm. Most of them are of FF community members and were done a couple of years back, but have never been collected all in one place. Check 'em all out on Firestorm's page under Skins & Meshes!
