I may make more levels and add them as they are completed. The way to know If a new level has been added to my latest gob is by its file name.
DON (my name )
DF (Dark Forces)
3 (Three levels)
0 (version .0, ie. patchs will then progress as .1, .2, etc)
How to use this file:
A batch file is included, all you need to do is place the don-df3b.gob file in your Dark Forces. Instead of typing DARK, type DONS. If you want to play the original levels just enter dark as normal. Do not worry about the difficulty setting I did not make any setting different, you will have to deal with ALL that I have thrown at you! If you have not played most of the original levels these may seem a bit hard.

These data tapes contain vital information on empire's plans for strategic attacks on several worlds now sympathetic to the rebel cause. Before Boba Fett can deliver these command data tapes to the deployed fleet on the outer rim you must go to Tatooine and steal the plans from his personal base of operations. This base will be guarded by both mercinary and Imperial forces alike. If you fail many innocent worlds will fall to the empire and many people will die needlessly. If you run into Boba Fett himself eliminate him once and for all.

HISTORY
Updates for version 2.1:
Level 1: A flaw allowing you to get to your ship without finishing the 3rd completion trigger has been fixed (Thank you Paul for finding that one). The batch file now starts you at the menu removing the cutscenes and mission briefings, hopefully removing confusion. There is no difference in easy/hard level settings so that screen is not necessary. I do not want people to play through the levels on easy and then never try them at their full potential of difficulty, so don't ask me to change that. Also, fixed some incorrectly morphing elevators.
Level 2: Fixed some incorrectly morphing wall textures.
Update for version 2.2:
Level 1: Tie fighter .vue file utilized, making the hanger a more active environment. (Thank You Paul for the wonderful spreadsheet that made this possible.) Also 3DO R2 Droid of my design placed into level.
Update for version 3.0:
level 1: another 3D R2 droid has been placed. The new R2 Droid is modeled directly after R2D2 and can be destroyed, just don't be standing too close...it could hurt. (who wants to be able to blow up an R2D2......hey why not?). The Droids are enhanced from the previous release as well. You now also start the Death Star Level in the detention center the way it was meant...unarmed.
The Developer:
Don Sielke
Special Thanks to:
Paul Nemesh (PNem@AOL.COM)
Paul developed the 3d Tie Interceptor and Tie Bomber used in the Death Star level. Paul also developed the spreadsheet that made making .vue files not only possible, but quite easy to develop.
For developing a wonderful editor. I used the editor for the Death Star Level as opposed to text format in the Secbase II level and save it saved me a lot of time.
Gary Belisle (Keemosabi@AOL.COM)
Gary made the Lar's Landspeeder and Slave 1 3do's for use in Operation Tatooine.
