Orc Clan Name Tagged On Doom 3 Mod
I don't think this has anything to do with The Lord Of The Rings but theres a SP mod on Doom 3 Files that's called Urukhai (2.0). Now you figure it out because it's late and I gotta run....
HeXen: Edge Of Chaos Seeks Modellers
The team for the Doom 3 mod HeXen: Edge Of Chaos updated with the news that they're looking talented modellers:We only have one requirement: you need to be enthusiastic about modelling and the Doom 3 engine while trying to push it's technical limits. Even if you're doubting about wether you're up to it or not, just drop us a line and send us some of your work. So get on over to the HeXen: Edge Of Chaos site if your interested. Also they have other positions open as well.
Tolwyn Unleashes Midi Collection
Tolwyn went and updated his site with all of his MIDI collection, some of which has appeared in many a fine Doom PWAD over the years. Also he will be following up with MP3 releases - remastered and all that stuff (from the original source masters, of course). Check that stuff out on the official Tolwyn site.
Infernal Death Orgy (1.2)
Benzo released his single player, Doom 3 mod Infernal Death Orgy (1.2) over on Doom 3 Files. The mod is designed for players who finished Doom 3 on Veteran difficulty and now want a tougher game. So if your looking for a harder Doom 3, give this jobby a go.
Quake II: Lost Marine (Female Voice Actor Wanted)
Ok I was just lurking around this morning when I spotted a Doom 3 mod that I never heard of before. The mod is Quake II: Lost Marine and is being developed by Kiltron and a team of other devs.The mod is recreating the Quake 2 experience in a whole new light through it's Single Player and Multiplayer components. Our aim is to give players a whole new Quake 2 experience and not just a remake of the original. While you may experience some gameplay from the original, most of the experiences are completely new. We have done away with linear gameplay and have given the player multiple ways to deal with situations. This is Quake 2 the way we want to see Quake 2 done within the DOOM 3 engine. Currently they're looking for a Female voice actor to be the voice of the Lost Marine so if you're interested go give Kiltron a shout. By the way, this mod isn't a direct port of Quake II and all content will be made from scratch. This is looking to be one fine mod.
Tower of Babel Redux 0.8
The featured SP mod on Doom 3 Files is called Tower of Babel Redux (0.8):What started as a simple test map for a mortal cyberdemon mod I made in an evening has somehow made its way into becoming a fully fledged map. Its layout is inspired from the original DOOM level "E2M8" yet it doesn't really look like it, nor does it play like it. Actually, the real aim was to dispel the general consensus that the Cyderdemon is a wimp as it was in vanilla DOOM 3. It sure sounds interesting but I'm too tired now to think.
Doom Wad Station Updates
Sematary sent in the news that Doom Wad Station was updated and Blue Paladin reviewed The Prison by Adam Mason. Here is a quote from that review:You are in for an Old School thrashin' with this one. "Prison" has booby traps galore and not a whole lot of help in the form of health and ammo so you're going to bite the big one quite a few times here. Clear off your save files and start filling it up when you play this. Also there's a Doom Tribute screensaver by VAMP that works with windows. Last up Sematary now has a wad submission page. If you do submit a wad then be sure to follow the rules...
Doom3[CC] 2.0 Released
The Games[CC] group who develop the Doom3[CC] mod have updated with several new features that should be helpful to hard of hearing/deaf and foreign gamers. These features include:- Color coded closed captions for characters and environmental sounds.
- Support for multiple languages (english, spanish, french, german and Brazilian portuguese).
- A visual sound based radar on the HUD.
There's also a DivX video that shows the visual sound based radar and colored closed captions if your interested. That's all on the Doom3[CC] site and by the way the mod is now at version 2.0...
Double 2.0
The featured SP mod on Doom 3 Files is one of those that changes a lot of the game content and in this case demons move faster, play the MP in SP mode with added monsters, new skins, zombie respawn if body not destroyed and a bunch of other stuff. So if your interested you can check out Double 2.0. By the way according to the txt file:This mod use several Double*.pk4 files which contains specified new features. If you do not want one feature, just remove the file that contains the feature. So if there's something you don't like you can nuke it. Sounds like a good plan.
The Dark Mod Screenshots
The site for The Dark Mod was recently updated with some new Screenshots. Just so you know, this is a Doom 3 mod that is based on the Thief series of games and so far it's looking really cool..
New Doom Movie Shot
This morning I spotted on Doom 3 Files that they posted up a new Doom Movie Shot that shows two members from the elite squad holding weapons with built-in flashlights standing in front of a cage that looks like it has chunks of flesh hanging on it. The shot is taken off of the Movie Infos site and if your German you should be able to read more.
Faiakes RoE-Extended 2.6
I was just poking around on Doom 3 Files and noticed one of those mods that is a combo of stuff from other mods that tweaks a lot of different things. The mod is for Resurrection Of Evil and is called Faiakes RoE-Extended (2.6) and it adds mine/flare/homing grenades, plasma railgun, new weapons skins, new monster skins, extended PDA and some other stuff. Might be worth a downgrab so have a look at that Faiakes RoE-Extended (2.6) mod jobby.

ZXDoom Site In Construction
|
Category: DOOM Sourceports |
X-Doom sent in a linkage in an email that leads to a new site he's setting up that will feature the development of his ZXDoom engine. Here is some quote stuff from the email he sent in:I am in full work on the construction of a new Web site at which I will put the development of my ZXDoom engine. All information necessary concerning the engine will be posted as before the end of the week. The site will looks like ZDoom.org a little, but not as much. It will be very related to ZDoom.org in the field of information. This will not change anything with my Web site already known on xdoom.newdoom.com, it will be also related to ZXDoom.com. As of right now the new ZXDoom site has just a splash page..
Foreverhood Update
I got word from Skadoomer that he's expanded the Foreverhood site. Due to my brain not working well at the moment I'm just gonna copy paste what he has to say:Foreverhood has updated once again with a major overhaul to the site. With a newly expanded 'about' section and an encyclopedia of screenshots, I hobe to build a better understanding of what this game is about. Progress wise, its looking for beta testers to critique the may 7th build of the game so i can accurately gage what issues need addressing. With that, i can begin putting togather my final outline for finishing off this beast and giving the public something to play. Check out Foreverhood.

Resurrection Game Over
Game Over Online has a review for Resurrection Of Evil. Time to quote the article it is:And I never knew how much I missed a double-barrelled shotgun until I played RoE. In Doom 3 nothing, including the chainsaw, seemed adequate for point-blank encounters. Now you can finally blow away imps and zombies in a single shot, just as in Doom II. There are even hints of the old game in the reload sounds and animation. Take a look at that review.
Afterglow Update On Jägermörder 02: Terra Nova
Last time I was on The Afterglow I was looking for some textures but today I was just nosing around and noticed that Afterglow updated with some info on Jägermörder 02: Terra Nova which he says is around 90% complete.I was aiming to make it Boom-compatible, just as the first in the series, but currently the sidedef count is 30,282, rapidly approaching the Doom engine's limit of 32,768. Even with SEGS, I doubt it will even run with Boom after I add the final area. Hit The Afterglow for the full story. You can also grab the previously released Jägermörder 01 : Chemical Lab while waiting for Jägermörder 02.
Crimson Beta-5 Released
Disciple-X reported that Crimson Beta-5 was released! He says that he put a lot of work into this beta and it contains a new experimental ctf map.

I will work on getting the wad publically hosted before the day is over. In the meantime, you can host it if you like it on your own custom/clan servers. Crimson is a Doom 2, Deathmatch Megawad that requires ZDoom, ZDaemon or SkullTag to run. Hit the Crimson site for the download, more info and those screenshots.
Doom Wad Station Updates
I was about to have a look on Doom Wad Station when I noticed an email from Sematary who mentions he updated with some new stuff.
