Pc Zone Magazine Interview

We were lucky enough to be interviewed by Pc Zone Magazine a while back, and the interview showed up in their most recent issue. Thanks to BlackJack for scanning the article and bringing it to our attention!

Skin Chooser/Pack Ready!
Tab
After many long hours and dodging requests for download updates I've decided to just unload a MEGA skin pack for SF. It includes all of my old skins as well as some community favorites. But the best part is that it includes what was previously unreleased content! I originally made the map themed skins for V2, but we've made some changes and these won't be used anymore. So they're yours now!
After installation navigate to the installed directory:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\sourceforts\SkinC hooser
and view readme.
Big Props to Glorfindel on this one, without him NONE of this would've happened.
Note: This chooser is fully modular and expandable. However only the default skins that come with the pack (except for the "tron" skin) are legal for League.
ENJOY!

Mod of the year 06
Tab
I'm just going to jump straight at it and stick in this stupidly oversized image mirrored straight of moddbs' servers they're gonna kill me.
Thats right folks, you're votes have placed us 16th top mod of 2006 (out of FOUR THOUSAND), and we have been awarded the Action Mod Genre award! Myself and the rest of the development team can't thank you guys enough, as once again it is the community that have proven to us that, hell, this work we're doing back here really is worth it.
Oh and apparently we win a prize, so expect us to be flaunting our TBD around the block!

Vossey, Vossey, Vossey...

Huge thanks to Vossey for the award given to SourceForts in their last magazine! For those lucky enough to speak French, click the image to download the article (page 22). For the rest of us, here's a rough translation (thanks google):

SourceForts puts you into the time of the great castles: construction and destruction are on the menu, but this time in a futuristic environment! It is the mod of the year 2006 for the Vossey's staff for its originality and gameplay ! Each game is divided into two different phases. The construction phase where you will have to carry out the construction of defences with blocks of various shape from plates to cubes, and the combat phase where you leave to attack the enemies camp and bring back their flag to your base while preventing the same from happening to you. |

Community Endeavours
Tab
The Unknown Files team have just launched a new version with a subsection especially dedicated to SourceForts! Go grab an account and get uploading your maps, movies and SF related whatnot.
Meanwhile, as FictiousWills 'Steps to producing an in-game model' comes to an end, there's a great chance to grab a look at some new media as well as giving us your thoughts on the work done.
We'll be having another one of those diarys soon, so watch this space!

League Scripts Updated
Tab
The league server configuration and EventScripts files have been updated. Server admins may download the files here. They have been updated to fix a bug which caused the default server configuration file to override the league configuration settings. Also, city has been removed from the list of acceptable league maps. Also, for any league participants who haven't done so, download the pre-match map from here. Place it in your Sourcemods/sourceforts/maps folder.

PC Zone featurette

SourceForts was lucky enough to be chosen for PCZones monthly Fight Club event! Although really no devs were there (not sure where they got that idea from) well done to everyone who did show up and really made the mod look something special. Click the picture for more.
On another note, the voting for ModDB's Mod of the Year event is over, and the results will be in later this month. If it's anything like last time, there will be a radio show where the top mods get some airtime to talk about their ventures. We made position 13 last time, and given the support from the community this time around, the hopes are high! More details will be posted soon!
One last thing, the coding position has been filled. Thanks to everyone who sent in e-mails (A suprising number - choosing who to take on was tricky!) and as a result 2.0 development is now steaming on. Watch this space.

League Participants Please Read
Tab
It seems that only three clans have met the requirements to actually start challenging other clans! In order to be eligible, everyone on your team must have their Steam Id filled in. Also, your clan must have at least five members. You guys begged and pleaded for a league, but it seems like you aren't willing to work for. The league depends on you guys! Without you it's going to fail!

Help Wanted
Tab
The SourceForts team is looking for a talented coder to help us out. The position is for a supplemental coder, not a lead. We want someone capable of working in a team oriented environment with at least two years of C++ experience. Familiarity with the Half-Life 2 SDK is a plus. The SourceForts team is a tight knit group of people who love working on the mod, and we hope to add one more to our group. If you're interested e-mail us at info@sourcefortsmod.com.
