SoFPX Private Beta (final) i... -

News post by ©Matty
As of this morning, it has been disclosed that a new Phoenix version of the MOD will be released in the next few days. Although this will initially be for a private beta audience, you will not have long to wait before the OFFICIAL PUBLIC RELEASE in the next couple of weeks.
There are two new maps to feast your eyes on, with amazing graphics and clever texturing.
A new function has been included in the code, that will enable grenades and TNT to be thrown without having to select them as a weapon. In addition to this, a new counter at the bottom of the screen enables easy viewing of the supplies that you have remaining.
In addition, the lag that has been apparent to some people has been eradicated from the game, which results in a much smoother game engine performance. |

Update coming soon..... -

SoFPX will soon go BETA!
But, it will be a private beta initially.
There are still one or two glitches to iron out, along with 2 new maps to try and break. After a short private period, we'll release the game code to the public, who I am sure are waiting for this game with baited breath!
This game is now looking and playing very much like the original SoF1. I can't say much more, apart from "watch this space"
Expect some more news early next week! |

Dust proving popular -
- 10th Feb 2003 12:22

The ever-popular Counterstrike map "Dust" has been proving popular amongst the alpha-testing team.
The latest release of the SoFPX game code includes the map "Dust". Arguably the most-played map in any game - Dust has surely now become as much a household name amongst the gaming community as Cornflakes and pasta.... :) ...
A successful port of the level on to the SoF2 platform was never going to be easy. D3VIANCE took on the task with relish, and has managed to port the level over and has kept the atmosphere and the "feel" of the original.
The map differs slightly from the SoF1 version, which was originally released by Godh - in that the flag locations have been moved slightly, and there are less boxes to take cover behind. This will hopefully encourage more open battles with a variety of weapons.
The level has already prompted positive feedback from some of the alpha team...
Torchy: "overall its a very nice map, welldone"
ZoomY: "the Dust map is just beautiful"
Syxxpacc: "OMG Re5p3C7 to the m..... |

Soldier of Fortune: PhoeniX -
JAy - 08th Jan 2003

A gameplay and map conversion for Soldier of Fortune players!
Solder of Fortune: PhoeniX (SoFPX) marks the dawning of a new age for the faithful community of the original Soldier of Fortune.
When the sequel was originally released, XS and I were party to Raven's 'Beta Test' team, and we were immediately aware that the speed and action of the original SoF were somewhat lacking in SoF2. This was partly in an attempt to attract a new, broader audience to their game, and some would say they succeeded.
In the meantime, the SoF community has been plagued with cheats, various issues that will never be solved due to the lack of developmental support, and consigned to a game engine and netcode both showing their age. Up until now, there has been no viable alternative.
All that is about to change...
The SoF2 engine is powerful, fast, good-looking, reliable, and comes with anti-cheat software in the form of PunkBuster. The Phoenix modification is literally stripping away code which conflicts wi..... |
