Isilmeriel has released an updated version of the lord of the rings weapon collection, this updated version includes the short blades wielded by Legolas aswell as the bow gifted to him by the Lady of Lórien, Galadriel.

Quote Isilmeriel :
The updated version of my Narsil & Anduril mod, now merged with my other and any future weapon mods. One thing I would really appreciate is if people could stop complaining about the proportions (too long, too narrow) of the weapons. They were modelled exactly to WETA prop photos so if anything, blame WETA.

Any issues or you simply want to add your praise to this mod then please visit this thread.

Sacheverell informed us about the new Minecraft Snapshot ready for testing.

Quote Sacheverell:
Mojang is continuing to work on separating the client from the server, and has fixed a bunch of stuff related to that transition. What else got added? Check it out below:


• Added cocoa plants to jungles
  
• Added a “large biomes” world type
  
• Added specific names for the different sandstone and smooth stone blocks
  

Improvements continue to pour into each snapshot with every passing week, and the new, improved SSP/SMP system continues to be streamlined, adopting a feel not unlike what MCX360 currently uses to connect players to one-another. Want to try this sleek update out?

Get the snapshot here:

Client: Download here
Server: Download here

The client now comes with both the client-side and the server-side JAR files. The file called “minecraft.jar” should be in your “.minecraft/bin” folder as usual, and the “minecraft_server.jar” file should be in a folder called “.minecraft/server”.

DnA informed the community on the BI forums about the upcoming free DLC for Take On Helicopters, "Take On Noisecontrollers".

Quote :
Today I am proud to announce a special little project that has been in the works on-the-side for a while: Take On Noisecontrollers - a FREE DLC for TKOH.
Next Friday you will all be able to download the DLC and have a go at 14 new Time Trials which were specifically created to be very challenging. Do this with several uniquely designed Light liveries and the Noisecontrollers sitting in your helicopter.

Before anybody wonders why we are spending development time on this instead of other projects or patches: all work was done in our spare time, thanks to the kind efforts of some of our team members and the Noisecontrollers themselves. We’ll cover some more details on this process in an upcoming behind-the-scenes blog




Take On Noisecontrollers is an entirely free DLC for Take On Helicopters. Fusing two seemingly disconnected worlds, it is one of the first forays of hardstyle music into gaming. The exciting collaboration between DJ and producer duo Noisecontrollers and Bohemia Interactive, has produced a fun expansion for everyone to enjoy.

Take On Noisecontrollers will include 14 new Time Trials, virtual recreations of the Noisecontrollers themselves (Bas Oskam & Arjan Terpstra), themed Light helicopter liveries, and last but not least: a 30-minute exclusive DJ mix!


Key features:

• Paint Schemes – Fly around using several new paint schemes for the Light helicopter
  
• Tough Time Trials – Beat the best times and the special Noisecontrollers time, in 14 new races.
  
• Hardstyle Music Channel - Get a preview of the E=nc2 debut album in an exclusive mix.
  
• The Noisecontrollers – Meet Bas and Arjan as virtual characters.

Further information, a very cool launch trailer, and more surprises coming soon

Highlights of the upcoming update are as follows:


• Added editable books
  
• Wooden half slabs in four colors (and they act as wood instead of stone)
  
• Bug fixing and tweaks, notably about entity collisions, “picking blocks” (creative mode), and chat
  
• Some other, censored stuff

blackbishop informed on our forums about new update with screenshots of Ostheer tech tree and Infantry Post Gruppen building. He also informed that they are on need of new developer team members.

Quote blackbishop:
After some discussions, we have decided to remove some units and at the end this is how Ostheer is going to be entering to the Alpha(at least the tech structure). We hope in this way balance would be easier to achieve.

The Beta will start soon... our balancers will approach to Ostheer and work with it, after that the closed Beta might extend to Donors and special guests.

You can find more information and leave your feedback in the Eastern Front topic.
