The Fortress Archives - 2005 Updates
[2005-Jan-06] Ring in the new year with the DCU Mod
Welcome to a new year at the Freedom Fortress and it should be a big one for
all you Freedom Force fans. The long-anticipated sequel to everyone's favorite
superhero game is right around the corner (various recent magazine skinmesh/s say
it should be out around March-April). In fact,
www.freedomfans.com/store is taking pre-orders for the game right now. I've
ordered mine, go get yours now!
Today, we have a bit of a blast from the past. I am posting 33 original skins
by the first artist at this site, Firestorm. Most of them are of FF community
members and were done a couple of years back, but have never been collected all
in one place. Check 'em all out on Firestorm's page under Skins & Meshes!
    
                           
[2005-Jan-23] KennX introduces the RC Universe
KennX is back with a set of 12 original meshes and skins, based on his
RC Universe. Read more about the RC universe at
www.rcuhero.net and check out the
cool stuff on KennX's page under Skins and Meshes.
           
[2005-Jan-30] Face the FAQ!
I've put up a heavily updated FAQ page.
[2005-Feb-06] Grab the DCU Mod (before it kills my server again)!
A furious flurry of updates at the Freedom Fortress today! First, KennX conjures up 9 new meshes and skins.
        
Then, J_Foam adds 11 new hexed meshes of his own

skin collection by adding Liberator!
[2005-Feb-14] The Ladies Man wanders into the Fortress
A little Valentine's Day gift for fans of the World's Mightiest FF
site - a new mesher joins our ranks, the legendary Interceptor (a.k.a. "The Ladies
Man"). Curl up with some soft music and enjoy his first batch of ten lovely
meshes.
      
  
[2005-Feb-19] New skins by C6 and Lightning Man

[2005-Mar-08] New J_Foam meshes

Headless Zombie, Hitman (cord fix), Robotman, and Thorn!
    
[2005-Mar-12] More Tommyboy meshes and new site logo!
Tommyboy contributes 4 new meshes for your gaming
pleasure: Bouncing Boy, Felix Faust, Persuader, and White Witch. Plus an update
to his Winged Horse Knight.
    
And special thanks to Courtnall6 for our new site logo!
[2005-Mar-18] Courtnall6's The Real Reich
Today, we have a new "mod" for Freedom Force vs The Third Reich!
Courtnall6 has put together some new artwork and bonus skins to enhance
your gaming experience. Check out The Real Reich, on our Mods page!
[2005-Mar-24] Greycount joins the Fortress
 Big update today! Say hello to a new artist here at the Freedom
Fortress, Greycount! And he's brought 84 Legion skins with him! Also, an update
to my Material Resistances page - it now includes
the info for FFv3R. (a big thx to Stumpy!)
[2005-Apr-03] FFv3R skins by Interceptor
Interceptor contributes the first FFv3R (DDS format) skins for
this site. Check out his JLA: Year One collection!
    
[2005-Apr-10] New Avatars by Courtnall6
A very nice-looking assortment of 13 avatars by Courtnall6
today!
            
[2005-Apr-15] Sand by Tommyboy and updated Real Reich
Today, Tommyboy gets off the Legion meshes for just one second
and sends us a nifty Sand mesh. (Now back to the Legion meshes!)
Plus, a quick fix - I've updated Courtnall6's Real Reich mod to
use DDS format skins. This will fix a problem that happens in Rumble Room (and
probably MP mode) when using the updated characters like Nazi General. Basically, the
old skin would still show up because the game would find the original DDS skins
and use them instead of the modified TGAs.
I'd recommend first uninstalling The Real Reich mod if you had
used it before and then downloading and installing the new one (version 1.1)
from
my Goodies page.
[2005-Apr-16] Justintyme joins the Fortress
The Freedom Fortress is pleased to welcome a new artist,
Justintyme! Check out his first batch of 7 skins:
      
[2005-Apr-23] Status Update
Just some info today:
- I will be changing web hosts next week (April 30), so the site
may be tough to get to for a few days around then. The URL address remains the
same.
- The latest patch for FF (v1.3) fixes the problem with Windows XP SP2 and
can be downloaded at freedomfans.com
- Still working on new versions of EZFX (v6) and EZHero (v3) for FFv3R. I'd
say EZHero is about 80% and EZFX is about 75%.
[2005-May-01] New Home and MEGA Update to celebrate
And we're back! To celebrate our new internet home, I'm
unleashing an update of super-heroic proportions.
First up, fan-fave Courtnall6 drops by with 5 skins: Aquaman
(alternate), Black Adam, Green Lantern (Fantasy), Martian Manhunter, and Owlman.
    
Then, hexing-deity KennX adds 13 new meshes and skins to his
huge collection: Batgirl (60's and 80's versions), Catwoman (50's and 80's

Lightning, Mister Alpha, and Robin as Batman.

meshes: Azrael, Colossal Boy 1, Ferro Lad, Karate Kid (2 versions), Mon-El,
Superboy, Timber Wolf, and Ultra Boy.

Force vs The Third Reich, Superhero TV! Get it now on the

[2005-Dec-03] EZFX 6.0 released
At last! The much-delayed EZFX 6.0 for Freedom Force vs the Third Reich is
finally available!
Hope to add more FX in the future, but the 180 in this pack will hopefully
tide you over a for a little while. It includes a bunch of new ones created
specifically for FFv3R by IPS, Interceptor, and me, plus many old favorites from
FF which I've ported over.
