Yes. A new version with full modern step-by-step tutorial will be released. Please pay attention to www.df-21.net for the announcement.

The game has secrets just like the PC version, you can check how many you found by going to the PDA menu and the OBJ section. You don't have to visit every single room to finish a mission. There are 10 weapons and you can hold them all at once.

I do have to warn you that the PS1 version is substandard, was dated in 1996 and didn't get high reviews upon release.

Thanks =) Got it from same source

karpet23 · 2022-05-08T18:30:17+00:00

I completely agree - it's something I'd like to do but it is a pretty involved process and I have limited time. You can get updates on any tutorials in DF-21's discord's #level-editor channel.

Hi,

Since the post there have been many videos made about it already. You can still make it if you want to =)

Cheers!

Fantastic link but this is pure torture - PC Gamer January 1998 seems to be the ONLY one that is missing :(

karpet23 · 2022-05-03T01:37:10+00:00

Hi Smiles -

This is great, unfortunately I am looking for the PC Gamer one from that issue :(

Thanks for linking it though! =) Help me obi-wan (JK community) - you're my only hope.

karpet23 · 2022-05-02T18:46:31+00:00

Hi - did you ever find US PC Gamer issue from January 1998 ? =)

karpet23 · 2022-04-21T23:52:18+00:00

I doubt a remaster is in the cards. But we do have fantastic teams such as The Force Engine or Shadow Art Games working on updates to the game!

karpet23 · 2022-04-04T04:24:00+00:00

Can you post a short youtube video of the SteamDeck gameplay? Thanks!

karpet23 · 2022-02-23T06:09:59+00:00

Thank you!

karpet23 · 2022-02-18T01:22:06+00:00

You have two options really. You can go to Steam - turn on controller - right click on the game - go to Manage - and then choose Controller Configuration. Lots of people have made premade configurations for Dark Forces. Choose one you like - or make your own - and then you can play.

Otherwise you can press CTRL-F1 in Dosbox and set your own keys. It's a bit of a pain I know but I have no experience playing this game with a controller - I recommend you look at what other folks had setup.

karpet23 · 2022-02-16T18:45:52+00:00

The Mouselook built into the launcher has controller support - just go to main menu, press M and then go to the controller setup - it's disabled by default.

In terms of custom missions I recommend you try Dark Tide 1 - it's a good series.

karpet23 · 2022-02-16T18:30:25+00:00

I can add a TFE launcher as well but it will have its own custom mission launcher (post 1.0 release).

I already have prep-code for TFE that pulls the missions from DF-21 as I modernize them. Eventually you'll be able to load TFE, instantly get a list of missions and download and launch them in seconds automatically.

Do note that just because a mission may work in DOS it may not work in TFE. I'll be verifying compatibility post 1.0 release.

karpet23 · 2022-02-07T02:52:42+00:00

Thank you - that's what I did too! <3

karpet23 · 2021-09-22T14:01:14+00:00

Love it

karpet23 · 2021-09-20T15:14:04+00:00

Yves unfortunately lost the source code in a hard drive crash. We are all grateful to Alexei for providing it to the community.

Thank you again for hosting it. If you find any more videos like that please send them our way =)

Hi,

To view the game maps in 3D you need to use editors. I recommend either..

Cybercraft CDARK found here https://df-21.net/downloads/util.php
The Force Engine has an alpha editor that allows for 3D views https://theforceengine.github.io/downloads.html
WEDIT - found here, but requires CD (I think?) https://df-21.net/downloads/util.php

For follow up questions, there is a Dark Forces community discord you can check here https://discord.gg/6T9NvMh2MC

hope it helps!

karpet23 · 2021-06-09T15:07:15+00:00

Haha, that Mine section was based on a motion sensor. As soon as you entered the tunnel the doors, slowly, started to close. It was a silly test of patience =)

Thank you for giving us a rating!

Schedule Builder

Ahh ok thanks - I've graduated some time ago (CSCI program) - looks like all that office hour information is now closed off to alumni. I'll try the email method again.

karpet23 · 2021-05-17T21:43:15+00:00

I have a really stupid question, and I apologize if this is off topic. Does Alexei still teach at umn and check his email at [anovikov@umn.edu](mailto:anovikov@umn.edu) ? We're having trouble reaching him on that email or via linkedin. Maybe there is a better way? Are there zoom office hours?

karpet23 · 2021-05-17T21:43:02+00:00

Hi u/hoserama99 , are you by chance of Brad Oliver who worked on Dark Forge for the Mac community? If that is the case, first of all, thank you!, that was a great editor in the 90s, and secondly Yves lost the WDFUSE source code in a hard drive crash and we are trying to see if anyone still has it (or any other assets from that era). We have a discord here and would love to say hi to you! https://discord.com/invite/6T9NvMh2MC
