Downloads section fixed
Apologies to anyone who tried to access the downloads section of the site in the last twenty four hours. Last night I made some changes to the code that powers the downloads and thought I had fixed all of the issues. It turns out I had missed some.
The downloads section should now be fully functional and back to normal operations.
Caelien returns with more Chaos Renegades
Caelien has recently submitted a new set of Chaos Renegade teamcolours. The list is more extensive than the original version and now includes a total of twenty-seven teamcolours taken from the Codex: Chaos book.
More textures from Diviator
Diviator has been busy again and has now submitted more textures, including his first non-Guard texture.
The new textures are the Golden Commissar, Alternative Captain Lukas Alexander, General Sturnn for Dark Crusade and Diviator's Space Marine texture, based on Hangar-8's Golden Eagles.
Thanks to Diviator for his continued submissions.
New Dark Crusade hero icons
Newly released today are two sets of hero icons for Dark Crusade. The original set of Dark Crusade hero icons were created by mdcertainty using screenshots from the game. Diviator has then updated the icons to create a set of Dark Crusade hero icons with frames.
Additionally, some minor changes have been made to rearrange and clarify the download categories. The General Dawn of War category now includes all graphical changes, while the Pattern Switcher is now in the Miscellaneous category along with the Winter Assault desktops.
Fragmented Chimera
Hot on the heels of the Fragmented Sentinel, Diviator has submitted his Fragmented Camo Chimera.
Also, just a quick note to say that the Tau Commander Drones have recently been added to our declined list as the author hadn't contacted us in over three months. The Frost Slayers scheme is also waiting on our pending list until the author gets in contact with the site.
Fragmented Sentinel and Battle Commissars
Diviator has recently been showing images of his almost-complete textures on the Relic News forums. These textures were partly inspired by Hangar-8's Splinter Camo and partly a request for another member.
Now available are:
- Battle Commissar
- Battle Commissar (without mantle)
- Battle Commissar (Camouflaged)
- Battle Commissar (Camouflaged without mantle)
- Fragmented Camo Sentinel
Thanks to Diviator for his submissions.
Quartered Marines Mod arrives!
The Quartered Marine Mod has finally been released for Dark Crusade. The mod is effectively just a copy of the Halved Marines mod and should play in exactly the same way. Hopefully there will be a combined Mod made available within the next week or so.
Also added this morning was a Dark Knights of Nurgle colour scheme and an Iron Souls army scheme (a badge, banner and .teamcolour file). Thanks to Joe Davison and General Stukov for submitting them.
Coming soon: Quartered Marines for Dark Crusade
Now finished, packaged and ready to ship is the Quartered Marines mod for Dark Crusade. The mod follows on from the Halved Marines mod and is effectively identical except for the race and unit names.
Unfortunately I don't have time to put it up now, so expect to see it tomorrow morning, GMT.
Two new textures from Prism and eezme
The main events of the personal, real-life incidents that slowed down approvals last week have now been concluded, and normality has resumed.
With that I've now approved two of the pending downloads (with the third, from an anonymous source, still remaining on the pending page).
eezme has released a version of the Tau Crisis Suit with a colourable head so that it more closely matched Games Workshop's painted figures. Prism has also release v1.3 of his Khorne Codex skin for the Chaos Berserkers.
Both of these textures are now available to download, and any future submissions will hopefully be back on track for quick approval, where possible.
New Khorne Berserker skin
Apologies to everyone for the delay, but a few real-life incidents have slowed my approval of this download.
Prism has released a Khorne Codex skin for the Chaos Berserkers. Inspired by Hangar-8's skin, the Berserkers are now more Khornate and closer to Games Workshop's World Eaters models. The texture was first released on Hangar-8's forums and reaches us as a v1.2 download.
Also in the pending queue is a Tau Crisis Suit texture from eezme, however no contact address was included in the readme and so it can't be added until it conforms with the submission guidelines. The Tau drone textures are also still pending for the same reasons.
