Asche and Holblin join Frozen Sand
Frozen Sand is happy to announce that both 659 and 817 have agreed to join the team !
Frozen Sand is always on the look out for talented coders and level designers with the right attitude towards the game and we feel that with Holblin and Asche we got lucky again.
Asche (mapper) and Holblin (coder) have been strong supporters of Urban Terror for years. Among other things they have together developed their own game type, Assault Mode, to be played with Urban Terror.
It's fun ! Check it out :)

The Day the Earth Stood Still

In the passed two years Clatoo created five maps for Urban Terror; CrystalPower, Heroic, Maximus, Metropolis, and Paris.
You can find them via our map depots list
Professionally Clatoo is a experienced publisher, and he works with software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Xpress, Indesign, Flash, Director, etc.
When he added MacRadiant 1.4, a few years ago, he had very little experience with 3D software and had just discovered the Urban Terror game. Which is lucky for us !
At first, Clatoo will try to add special effects to the Urban Terror HD version of the maps Paris & Heroic, before starting new maps optimised for the engine.
Please feel free to comment here, maybe you can guess what inspired him to choose Clatoo as nick.

Urban Terror 4.1.1 update
Old Favourites for 4.1
We are releasing all the maps that were updated for Urban Terror 4.1 including Docks, Swim, Ricochet, Uptown, and more.
These maps do not meet our quality standards that we have planned for Urban Terror HD, so we thought it was best to release them in an update pack for Urban Terror 4.1 !
We have also included the updated player skins that were tested months ago in 4.1. We hope you enjoy playing some of your old favourites in 4.1 while we work on.
Urban Terror 4.1.1 Update

AbsolutelyNoOne likes Amanieu
Frozen Sand is proud to announce that two more coders have joined the team to work on the next release of Urban Terror.
Please welcome mister 25379 and monsieur 14041 !
Amanieu is an engine coder and has spent a lot of time programming for various Quake 3 related projects, such as XreaL and Tremulous. AbsolutelyNoOne has been in software development for over 20 years under Linux/Windows, and has done a couple of mods of Q3 so he is familiar with Q3 game code. They will be working on engine code and game code respectively.
With the acquisition of these two excellent programmers Frozen Sand has effectively doubled the number of coders on the team.
Obviously they have been put to work straight away! :D

The Cascade of new content continues

New sniper rifle on the workbench
Smachine and Frankie V have teamed up to produce the French FR-F1 sniper rifle as a replacement for the aging Remington SR8.
Smachine is responsible for the new paint job where the modeling and shading needs were handled by Frankie V with the help of BladeKiller.
some more pictures:
Also under the heading of general house keeping all three game flags have been polished up with a bit more detail in design and texturing:
And a quick peek of Misterbean's .44 Magnum with some shader love along with H0i's new and improved k-bar as a replacment for the knife.
This new shader allows for the texture artists to control how textures react to light. This will make assets appear more realistic. In the picture below you can clearly see that the scratches on the weapon react to light a lot stronger than in other areas. This is just one of the many things that can be done with the shader.
