The readme for this beta is available in this thread from the official EFTA forum. BE sure to visit the official Escape from the Afterlife website for news and additional information on this mod.

Hosted Mods: Chaos Empire

It is a pleasure to announce a new project being hosted at Planet Diablo: Chaos Empire, by Chaos Energy. This mod comes with quite a lot of modifications, so be sure to visit the Chaos Empire Website and read the details.

Non-Hosted Mods: Cheater's Choice Mod

Volf has recently released the newest version of the Cheater's Choice Mod 4 (1.4c), that you can dowload here. Visit the Volf's Mods website for more details.

Plugins!

Modmaker afj666 brings several goodies this week:

- Three Custom tbl Tables Plugin. You can read the documentation on this plugin here
- Extended Levels Plugin. You can read the documentation on this plugin here
- Extended Objects Plugin. You can read the documentation on this plugin here
- Extended Levels and Objects Plugin. You can read the documentation on this plugin here

Also, modmaker SVR announces a new plugin that will bring smiles to the faces of all non-coders: D2mod.dll, a new mod system that, in the words of its developer, "is a system for distributing & running Mods for Diablo II. It allows the original dlls to remain unchanged and mods to be easily added/removed without worry of corrupted or incorrectly modified D2 dlls". In other words, you can manage dll plugins in your mod without having to edit the dll files! You can download it here, and don't forget to read the documentation of this plugin, to understand what it is really about.

Those of you who have been following the Star Wars dcc files being released by modmaker cafa can now put your hands on two more files:
- Bobba Fett plugin by cafa (This is a non token plugin from Star Wars)
- Darth Vader plugin by cafa (This is a non token plugin from Star Wars)

Character Editor for Mac Users!

Macintosh system users may now enjoy a Character Editor (in beta stage): Alkor Version 0.7b. Download it here, and read the official release thread here.

Tutorial

Tutorials are always nice, and this week reiyo_oki brings us a tutorial on making a group item modifier. You can read the tutorial by clicking here.

Map Editing

Volf brings the Act 5 background tiles with its colors remapped using an act-independent palete, enabling you to use them in any act without color glitches. Download them here.

That's all for this week :)

Chaos Empire links don't work. It is only a blank page with a tiny blue square in the upper left corner.
