As you can see, the site is now in a christmas theme! A new banner has been made by The LOLipop, and Didz managed to get the snowflakes working. Thanks guys, and well done!
So yes, we will be celebrating christmas, just like this awesome stormtrooper below:

Two other things which I also wanted to mention. Icewolf was accepted a few days ago (welcome!), and you can view our first developer diary here!
So, although it might be a little early, merry christmas! Hope you all have a nice time.

Perhaps some of you might have been wondering what we were doing lately. Well, our developers have been busy with things, both real life, and ArbModding of course.

We obviously didn't make the public beta (was estimated on november 5th - we're 12 days later now). Why didn't we? Because we're still working on a lot things.
Most of us think it's better to add more features before we release the mod (or a beta version). And well, so do I.

Now, first of all, let me remind you - we need more developers. Do you think you can help us? Apply on the forums then! We can use every help we can get. Also, let me remind you that our beta testing positions will most likely open soon.

Second, in order to keep you guys interested, I'll start posting some diaries on the WIP Showcase section from now on. On the right you also can see an image slideshow, which will be updated very soon. If you have any suggestions, questions, anything - feel free to post on our forum!

Welcome to another new website revision for ArbModding. It has been under wraps in the developers' cave for a few weeks where Tx606 has been whipping TheLOLipop and myself with bribes of magical sprinkled cakes and cookies to get the site progressed.

This revision is a major revamp to the site which is lighter on the eye and far less bland.
We will try as hard as we can to put pictures in our news posts from now on, even if they're completely unrelated.

We hope you like our new design, please feel free to leave feedback on the forum topic.

Deathspike is currently working on a powerful Anti-Cheat system. He also will let us include it in ArbModding. The SAC will also be included in Movie Battles II and JK Galaxies!

For more information see the forum topic, it includes the whole article written by Deathspike.

As you can see, the new site is up now. The site was offline longer than we originally planned, because we had some problems with the forum. We took care of those problems and the site is up and running now! Hope you like it.

So, we're nearing the date of the public beta, but we don't really feel confident in it. There won't be any new maps, models, weapons, etc. because of lack of contribution. This beta will probably just be the clientside binaries (Roughly 2mb) that will allow you to play on the official ArbModding beta servers. This doesn't mean we're not looking for contributors - that's what we need most right now!

For a while now, Tx606 has been supporting the team here in any way he can - Whether it be through forum activity, promotion of ArbModding, server hosting, anything. So we finally decided to give him the status of project co-lead in recognition of his efforts.

The first public beta is planned to be released on November 5th 2009.
