Back To Yavin

This is my very first Dark Forces level of which 90% are done with DFUSE for DOS and the rest "fine polishing" with WDFUSE.
The background: As the Rebels evacuated from their Yavin base, they have forgotten the assistant of General Jan Dodonna, Whix Gardine, who had the only copy of the master data tapes where the locations of the whole Rebel Fleet are recorded. He managed to hide the tape, but he has been captured by the Imperials. Unwanting to draw attention to themselves, the Rebels employ Kyle Katarn, who had served them well by stealing the Death Star plans...
Cutscenes are available before and after the level. The textcrawl is also replaced.

The Bounty Hunt
	Leia: "I though you had decided to stay..." Han: "Yeah, well that bounty hunter we ran into on Ord Mantell changed my mind." Kyle Katarn, after the "Dark Forces" conflict, has gotten no more jobs from the Rebellion. To make ends meet, he begins to take over dubious bounty-hunting jobs. He receives a message from his former rival Jabba the Hutt who called up all known bounty-hunters to capture Han Solo for him. Kyle accepts the job, as he hopes to make peace with his old enemy. The traces for Solo lead him to a smuggler base near Ord Mantell, the "Vanguard". Little does Katarn know what Jabba's got REALLY on his mind... This level requires 16 MB RAM. It also contains a briefing and an optional cutscene package. Download The Bounty Hunt NOW! Download The Bounty Hunt Cutscenes NOW!


The Bounty Hunt Special Edition
	Well, at last, the Special Edition is released! The Special Edition project has been planned by me since the very release of The Bounty Hunt, as I experienced the loading bug.Well, and I have given it 2 enthusiastic tries. But I finally had to admit that the loading bug (the main reason for a SE) was stronger than me... Until, I received a mail from Adam Burnett who since long seeked to distinguish the loading bug. He finally corrected it and the BHSE was ready for release. So I made some minor corrections yet, and it's been released. So it is Adam whom you have to thank for the release of BHSE. Then I have to warn ye that BH SE had to lose some of its ambience. The bug has been caused by some objects in the Market. Adam had to remove most of them, so that the market seems almost empty. Now to the changes: Yess! The Loading Bug is away! Civilians will now die when shot at Imperial Shuttle arrival with stereo sound effect Corrected minor bugs like Boba Fett stuck in the small conveyor room There's a hidden Boba Fett running by, find him! (not really hard to find) Corrected TIE Fighter VUEs, sounds added The TIE at the end is a T/I now according to the cutscene (T/I by Jereth Kok) Bneebo talks now audible 2 more dialogues: with Moff Rebus and Draem Fold (as a hint) Ambient sounds rationalized. Now you don't hear the band at the market place or the market place in the hotel (if you consider it a disadvantage, tell me. I maybe then release an INF patch) Fixed partially "patchwork" texturing in really bad places Added some new textures Fight music transitions corrected (yes, I can handle iMUSE!) Screen font changed Updated intro & credits Besides, Bounty Hunt Special Edition does not replace your Bounty Hunt Classic files. And it also uses the optional cutscene flawlessly.

Bounty Hunt Classic warning! An unknown internal error makes the level hang up right after loading. This error results of extraordinary conditions under which I created it (on a defect 486 with only 8 MB RAM!). Here are some tips how to avoid this problem:

Do not run Bounty Hunt under Windows 95. Try to exit to DOS or to not load the graphic interface (at startup, press F8 and select DOS prompt)

The MED & HARD difficulty settings have proved themself as more "sensitive" to hangups than EASY. Try it.

If the upper steps do not help, try creating a boot diskette with the bootdisk utility of Dark Forces' and run Bounty Hunt with this.

Condition: Red	A level by Jereth Kok, Peter Klassen and Steve Miller
	Kyle Katarn, during being on a space platform, is woken up by a sudden alert. While he was sleeping, an Imprerial Star Destroyer Chimaera, with Admiral Thrawn in charge, has attacked the platform. An advance troop already docked and is trying to infiltrate it. The station defences are down, the ships are trapped in the magnetic fields raised by the intruders. Kyle has to go on and lead the counterattack to rescue the platform. But he must hurry up: the next assault transports are already marching on and the time ticks away... The level requires 16 MB RAM. Pretty normal these days... Main features: Authentic ambush atmosphere (nice alliteration, huh?) :-) Extraordinary VUE & INF & VOC & CMP & ... effects Lots of new 3DOs (e.g. Assault Transports, Corellian Corvette, Calamari Cruiser) Featuring voice of Admiral Ackbar! As always, cutscenes with edited music, by your humble servant. A Super Secret (now cum on, find it!) Download Condition Red NOW!

The Mystery Of The Morning Wood	A level by Vladimir Klassen
Rating by Jeff Walters at Darkness Falls: 90/100	The Morning Wood is a Corellian Transport of the equal class like Millennium Falcon. The Rebels have discovered that some mysterious new technology is stored on the ship. It has landed on the planet Cel-Sati, near a dreaded Imperial Base. Your mission is to find and hijack the Morning Wood. This mini level for DF is made by Vladimir Klassen. It may be small but it still features many original INF solutions and great ideas. There are lots of very funny gags to keep you in a good mood. The level's name is actually a name of a MTV's Beavis & Butt-Head episode. There is also a hidden Butt-Head in this level. Find him... huh..huh. The cheat messages are also quotes from Beavis & Butt-Head. Download The Mystery Of The Morning Wood, dillhole.

Cutscenes for "Assassinate Darth Vader"	"Assassinate Darth Vader" is a level by Jereth Kok
	"Assassinate Darth Vader" is an excellent Dark Forces level by Jereth Kok, which has been released in the summer of 1996. To the one year anniversary of Kilvader, I have released a set of cutscenes for this level. The cutscene feature a changed textcrawl, an arrival cutscene and a final cutscene. As a step forward compared to the BH cutscenes, Kilvader cutscenes contain not only self-rendered materials as well as re-combined X-Wing, TIE Fighter & DF elements, but also feature custom music.
