Jaymod 2.1.10 Released
April 13th, 2011 | 
Author: 
This release is just about identical to the 2.1.9 release, but the Punkbuster issues should be taken care of with this version. Nothing too exciting, just what 2.1.9 should have been

Overdose - Remake of ET?
Written by Shagileo, Jan 23 2011 16:24
At the moment, a group named Team Blur works on a new shooter named Overdose. This game is based on - yes, amazing! - the old engine Quake II and will be released as free2play.
Possibly, the new game Overdose could be a remake of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The game is postapocalyptic, but the gameplay is as the one in ET.
Even the features list shows that Overdose could be a new ET.
Class Based Team Action – With a heavy focus on Team Play, OverDose takes cooperative objective based gaming to the next level.
Player Customisation – Player classes can be customised in a variety of physical ways, from simple features such as gear and skin tones, to clan logos, badges and the like. Every weapon has multiple configurations and attachments, allowing you to create your own arsenal that suits your needs.
Freedom Of Movement – OverDose takes team play to the next level with “TeamActions”, allowing you to help your team mates in the field. See a ledge you can’t mantle onto? Give your friend a boost up there and then ask for a pull up. Your buddy down and waiting a medic but the area is too hot for support? Get over there and drag him out! Need to get into cover quickly while under fire? Sprint over there and slide into cover directly. OverDose takes the basic staples of the genre and turns them up to 11, the way Baby Raptor Jesus intended.
Next Gen Engine – Built on id Software’s Quake II engine (Yes, id Tech 2) [TBG] have expanded and improved upon the original engine in every way possible to bring you such graphical features as an intense fully dynamic, unified per-pixel lighting and shadowing model with shadow mapping, parallax occlusion mapping, real time sub surface scattering, ambient occlusion and advanced post process effects.
Full EAX Support – OverDose allows its designers TOTAL freedom over its sound design in its worlds and as such allows some crazy EAX/OpenAL effects. Sound is just as important as graphics in a game and we really have given the area huge backing.
Fast Frame Rates – Every graphical option has several levels of quality and rather than force people with set options, OverDose allows the player amazing freedom over what they see. Gone are the days of generic graphic options ruining fun!
Full Online Ranking System – Players gain XP per game which promotes them in rank, which in turn can be used to match you up with players of similier skill. Whats more with the system being fully saved in conjunction with our master server, stats and rankings can be tracked online!
Full SDK And Tool Set – OverDose is fully behind modifications and as such we have a complete toolset built from the ground up just for OverDose modders.
FREE – And that’s the big one. OverDose is a FREE to play indie game.

As a small excuse: we had set the buddy list to 50 players and the server list to 25 servers. We hope you enjoy it.

Wikipedia: 10 years!
Wikipedia began as a complementary project for Nupedia, a free online English-language encyclopedia project whose articles were written by experts and reviewed under a formal process. Nupedia was founded on March 9, 2000, under the ownership of Bomis, Inc, a web portal company. Its main figures were Jimmy Wales, Bomis CEO, and Larry Sanger, editor-in-chief for Nupedia and later Wikipedia. Nupedia was licensed initially under its own Nupedia Open Content License, switching to the GNU Free Documentation License before Wikipedia’s founding at the urging of Richard Stallman.[22]
Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia.[23][24] While Wales is credited with defining the goal of making a publicly editable encyclopedia,[25][26] Sanger is usually credited with the strategy of using a wiki to reach that goal.[27] On January 10, 2001, Larry Sanger proposed on the Nupedia mailing list to create a wiki as a “feeder” project for Nupedia.[28] Wikipedia was formally launched on January 15, 2001, as a single English-language edition at www.wikipedia.com,[29] and announced by Sanger on the Nupedia mailing list.[25] Wikipedia’s policy of “neutral point-of-view”[30] was codified in its initial months, and was similar to Nupedia’s earlier “nonbiased” policy. Otherwise, there were relatively few rules initially and Wikipedia operated independently of Nupedia.[25]
Wikipedia gained early contributors from Nupedia, Slashdot postings, and web search engine indexing. It grew to approximately 20,000 articles and 18 language editions by the end of 2001. By late 2002, it had reached 26 language editions, 46 by the end of 2003, and 161 by the final days of 2004.[31] Nupedia and Wikipedia coexisted until the former’s servers were taken down permanently in 2003, and its text was incorporated into Wikipedia. English Wikipedia passed the two million-article mark on September 9, 2007, making it the largest encyclopedia ever assembled, eclipsing even the Yongle Encyclopedia (1407), which had held the record for exactly 600 years.[32]
Citing fears of commercial advertising and lack of control in a perceived English-centric Wikipedia, users of the Spanish Wikipedia forked from Wikipedia to create the Enciclopedia Libre in February 2002.[33] Later that year, Wales announced that Wikipedia would not display advertisements, and its website was moved to wikipedia.org.[34] Various other wiki-encyclopedia projects have been started, largely under a different philosophy from the open and NPOV editorial model of Wikipedia. Wikinfo does not require a neutral point of view and allows original research. New Wikipedia-inspired projects – such as Citizendium, Scholarpedia, Conservapedia, and Google’s Knol where the articles are a little more essayistic[35] – have been started to address perceived limitations of Wikipedia, such as its policies on peer review, original research, and commercial advertising.
Though the English Wikipedia reached three million articles in August 2009, the growth of the edition, in terms of the numbers of articles and of contributors, appeared to have flattened off around early 2007.[36] In July 2007, about 2,200 articles were added daily to the encyclopedia; as of August 2009[update], that average is 1,300. A team at the Palo Alto Research Center speculated that this is due to the increasing exclusiveness of the project.[37] New or occasional editors have significantly higher rates of their edits reverted (removed) than an elite group of regular editors, colloquially known as the “cabal.” This could make it more difficult for the project to recruit and retain new contributors, over the long term resulting in stagnation in article creation. Others suggest that the growth is flattening naturally because the low-hanging fruit, obvious articles like China, already exist.[38][39]
In November 2009, a Ph.D thesis written by Felipe Ortega, a researcher at the Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid, found that the English Wikipedia had lost 49,000 editors during the first three months of 2009; in comparison, the project lost only 4,900 editors during the same period in 2008.[40][41] The Wall Street Journal reported that “unprecedented numbers of the millions of online volunteers who write, edit and police [Wikipedia] are quitting.” The array of rules applied to editing and disputes related to such content are among the reasons for this trend that are cited in the article.[42] These claims were disputed by Jimmy Wales, who denied the decline and questioned the methodology of the study.[43]
Befana, 06/01/2011
La Befana è una vecchia brutta e gobba, con il naso adunco e il mento aguzzo, vestita di stracci e coperta di fuliggine, perchè entra nelle case attraverso la cappa del camino.
Infatti la notte tra il 5 e il 6 gennaio, mentre tutti dormono infila doni e dolcetti nelle calze dei bambini appese al caminetto.
Ai bambini buoni lascia caramelle e dolcetti, a quelli cattivi lascia pezzi di carbone.
La Befana si festeggia nel giorno dell’Epifania, che di solito chiude le vacanze natalizie.
Il termine “Befana” deriva dal greco “Epifania” che significa “apparizione, manifestazione”.
Avvenne nella notte tra il 5 ed il 6 gennaio che i Re Magi fecero visita a Gesù per offrirgli oro, incenso e mirra.
Anche la Befana apparve nei cieli, a cavallo della sua scopa, ad elargire doni o carbone, a seconda che i bambini siano stati buoni o cattivi.
Una leggenda spiega la coincidenza così:
una sera di un inverno freddissimo, bussarono alla porticina della casa della Befana tre personaggi elegantemente vestiti: erano i Re Magi che, da molto lontano, si erano messi in cammino per rendere omaggio al bambino Gesù.
Le chiesero dov’era la strada per Betlemme e la vecchietta indicò loro il cammino ma, nonostante le loro insistenze lei non si unì a loro perché aveva troppe faccende da sbrigare.
Dopo che i Re Magi se ne furono andati sentì che aveva sbagliato a rifiutare il loro invito e decise di raggiungerli.
Uscì a cercarli ma non riusciva a trovarli.
Così bussò ad ogni porta lasciando un dono ad ogni bambino nella speranza che uno di loro fosse Gesù.
Così, da allora ha continuato per millenni, nella notte tra il 5 ed il 6 gennaio a cavallo della sua scopa…

Befana
Secondo la tradizione italiana la Befana fa visita ai bambini il 6 gennaio, durante la notte dell’epifania, per riempire le calze lasciate da essi appositamente appese. Nel caso siano stati buoni, il contenuto sarà composto da caramelle e cioccolatini, in caso contrario conterranno carbone. Spesso la befana viene descritta come una vecchia, che vola su una scopa. A differenza di una strega è spesso sorridente e ha una borsa o un sacco pieno di ogni squisitezza, regali per i bambini meritevoli, ma anche di carbone per i bambini che non sono stati buoni durante l’anno.
La distribuzione di regali ai bambini a nome della Befana fu fortemente incoraggiata dal fascismo,[3] nell’ambito dell’opera di “italianizzazione” della penisola.

Befana
In Italian folklore, Befana is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy on Epiphany Eve (the night of January 5) in a similar way to Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus. This Italian gift-giving spirit is also known as Saint Befana, La Vecchia (the Old Woman), and La Strega (the Witch).[1]
The character may have originated in central Italy, then spread as a tradition to the rest of Italy.[citation needed]
A popular belief is that her name derives from the Feast of Epiphany or in Italian, “La Festa dell’Epifania”. Epifania (Epiphany in English) is a Latin word with Greek origins. Epiphany means either the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6) or “manifestation (of the divinity).”[2][3]
There is evidence to suggest that Befana is descended from the Sabine/Roman goddess named Strina. In the book Vestiges of Ancient Manners and Customs, Discoverable in Modern Italy and Sicily by Rev. John J. Blunt (John Murray, 1823), the author says:
“This Befana appears to be heir at law of a certain heathen goddess called Strenia, who presided over the new-year’s gifts, ‘Strenae,’ from which, indeed, she derived her name.[4] Her presents were of the same description as those of the Befana—figs, dates, and honey.[5] Moreover her solemnities were vigorously opposed by the early Christians on account of their noisy, riotous, and licentious character”.[6]
Judika Illes wrote, “Befana may predate Christianity and may originally be a goddess of ancestral spirits, forests, and the passage of time. Some identify this wandering, nocturnal crone with Hekate.”[1]
In popular folklore Befana visits all the children of Italy on the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany to fill their socks with candy and presents if they are good or a lump of coal or dark candy if they are bad. Being a good housekeeper, many say she will sweep the floor before she leaves. The child’s family typically leaves a small glass of wine and a plate with a few morsels of food, often regional or local, for the Befana.[3]

Die Zeit ist gekommen…
…um Abschied zu nehmen. In der zehnjährigen Geschichte WolfMap’s führten wir die Seite erfolgreich durch gute und schlechte Zeiten.
Aber nun ist die Zeit gekommen den Tatsachen ins Auge zu sehen. Die Anzahl der Spieler schrumpft von Tag zu Tag aus den unterschiedlichsten Gründen. Sei es eine Verschiebung der Prioritäten, eine Änderung der Lebensumstände im Privaten Bereich, ein neues hochgelobtes Spiel das heutzutage neben so vielen anderen geradezu inflationär auf den Markt geworfen wurde oder ganz einfach die Tatsache das man das Interesse am Online-Gaming verloren hat. Mit News sah es bereits vor 2009 sehr schlecht aus, wöchentlich gab es weniger…. lese weiter auf Wolfmap
The time has come…
…to say goodbye. During the 10 years of WolfMap’s history we successfully led the site through good and bad times.
But now the time has come to face the facts. The amount of players is decreasing from day to day, for the most varied reasons: A movement of priorities, a change of private environment, a new highly acclaimed game that has been released next to so many others, or simply the fact that one lost the interest in online gaming. Already before 2009 it didn’t look good for the news, less files were published…. read more on Wolfmap
WOLFMAP.DE - Filebase …
Hi all,
As you just know, WolfMap.de will be closed in January 2011. WolfMap.de was for WW2 something like a “reference”, a “guide” if you want for news, downloads, mods, soundpacks and skinpacks. Last week I asked to the WolfMap.de’s staff (Berzerkr) if it was possible to have a copy of their filebase. Tomacco (from the staff) gave to me the link to download their huge filebase (40gb). I have just finished to download it and now I will start the upload to our site. This filebase will be free to download for every visitor of our site without registering before. This is the link: http://www.wolfenstein-et.net/filebase/
We have to say a Great Thanks to all of you guys of WolfMap.de!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas
