Download approvals restart
I've finally settled in to the new house and got the computer in a state where it can reasonably use the Internet and where it isn't trying to use a half-fried motherboard. That means download approvals have begun again.
Newly approved tonight are Stfas's Force Commander with colourable knee pads, SquireJames's Rifle Corps and Naval Detachment badge and banner sets, and Thunderrat's Eldar Harlequin replacement.
Hopefully more downloads will be approved as and when their authors get in contact.
Further delay in getting back online
While BT and Sky finally got our Internet access sorted about a week ago, other issues have now conspired against me getting back to working on the site.
My computer has had an "electrical whine" from the power supply for a week or so now (possibly since moving) and was unable to turn it on straight after turning it off. Having tried to investigate it after the power became more tempremental the power supply died. I now have a new power supply but still no computer. From the lack of beeps at start-up then it's almost certainly a dead motherboard.
Hopefully I should be able to get a replacement by the end of the week and finally be back to working on the site.
Sorry for the extended delay in returning to normal operations.
Halved and Quartered Marines mod finally arrives!
Over the months several people have asked me about how to combine the Halved and Quartered Marines mods. I had purposefully written the mods so that they could be easily combined, since people had asked for it in the original Dawn of War versions, but I'd never released on by the time Dark Crusade was released.
Now, in a compact 4KB, you can officially combine the Halved Marines Mod and the Quartered Marines Mod using the Halved and Quartered Marines Mod.
Also released today is a small patch for the Dark Crusade Quartered Marines Mod that fixes the Quartered Marines AI and updates their banner.
I was hoping to have my Internet access back today, but Sky and British Telecom are being slow and didn't enable it on Friday. They should apparently enable it within three working days from Friday, so by Wednesday I should be back online and more uploads should be approved.
Astro Omegas Space Marines texture
It took a while to approve after having moved house, but the Astro Omegas Space Marines texture is now available.
The texture itself is based on a colour scheme created for a Games Workshop chapter creation competition, and the pack also includes a badge, banner and .teamcolour to recreate the Astro Omegas.
More downloads are still pending, but they are all currently waiting for a response from the author. Faster approval should return by the end of the month when I get broadband installed at home.
Second Soulstorm race revealed: Sisters of Battle
It has now been revealed by Gamespot that the Sisters of Battle will be the second Soulstorm race and the ninth Dawn of War race.
In preparation for their release, we now have a Sisters of Battle skins category in the textures/skins download area.
I look forward to fiery death from the Emperor's own battle nuns.
Temporary partial site closure
On Monday I will be moving house. This means that it will be several days until I get the phone line set up and several weeks until I get the broadband installed (because broadband providers are so slow). In the mean time then the site will be effectively closed to new submissions.
Until I get broadband then I will still try to check and update if I can, but it will generally be from work and so is more restricted as to what I can do.
Another announcement will follow when I have Internet access back.
Imperial Guard with no markings return
Iron_Father has now sent in a correction/update for his Imperial Guard with no Cadia markings texture. This update is now available in place of the original and due to the original mistake it is still numbered as v1.0.
If you downloaded the textures before now then please re-download them to get the correct set of textures. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Icon set images available
Having released several icon sets, mdcertainty's download pages now have screenshots and sample images. If you didn't want to download the icons because you didn't know what they looked like then now you can see before you download.
Thanks to mdcertainty for sending in the images. While we try to make images for all downloads, other tasks and real life sometimes mean we end up with a large backlog of images.
Temporary texture removal
Due to submission issues that have recently emerged the "Imperial Guard with no markings" texture pack has temporarily been removed from the site.
This is nothing to worry about. The author and submitter knows what the issue is and there will be an update soon. It is also known that the author is feeling suitably embarrassed about his mistake.
New Necron icon set
mdcertainty has been busy once again and has released a Necron icon set for Dark Crusade.
Thanks to mdcertainty for his on-going work. One day soon we'll have a full set of replacement icons for all races!
In other news we now have five downloads pending which are waiting for contact from the author. Some are awaiting responses, while others need the author to get in contact with us because they didn't supply an email address. If you are the creator/submitter of any of the items that are in the pending list then please contact us and resolve the issues so that your download can join the list with mdcertainty's.
