Rogue Spear v2.04 CD Hack - I know some people may frown upon me posting this but I am doing it for all the real owners of the game. I know I hate it when I am hosting and when I click start it tells me to put in the CD. Well here is the CD-Hack for the 2.04 version of Rogue Spear. If you are running a warez version of Rogue Spear please go buy the game. This crack will only work if you have not run the prior CD Crack. Redstorm did a great job on this title and they deserve every penny. Get the CD Hack here.

 SpecOps 2 Demo - Before I became a R6 and RS junkie, I had tried my hands at Ripcord's SpecOps and enjoyed it. Because it lacked what R6 offered..it was abandoned by several multiplayer gamers. It was later updated by ripcord for multi play, but by then Red Storm had done too much damage. SpecOps2 looks quite promising, and even though Red Storm got the jump ( again) with Rogue Spear, it's worth giving SpecOps 2 a try. You can pick up the demo here.

Happy Halloween from TAC - I want to wish everyone a happy Halloween. Be sure to check your candy before you eat it, sometimes people put things in it like razor blades, needles, syringes, drugs, cyanide, acid, metal shavings, and other funny stuff...can't blame people for having a sense of humor. I also want to make a statement to all you people giving out candy this year...buy the good candy, kids do not want no-name candy that tastes like crap, also do not give out fruit...fruit flavored candy is okay. I personally give out peanut butter cups and stuff like that... this is a precautionary step so my house is not covered in toilet paper. Another good idea as a hand out for Halloween is all the AOL CDs you have laying around. I know one year I had more than twenty of the things in my house. Just put them in a bowl and pass them out, it will be worth it just to see the faces on the kids when you give them one. Happy Halloween!

 A game controller with mouse-like accuracy? - That's what Microsoft claims about the Sidewinder Dual Strike Game Controller. its basically a controller that is split in half, one half a fixed control pad and the other an X-Y pivoting handle.

Nocturne Demo Released - To go along with the Halloween spirit, Terminal Reality has put out the demo for their ghoulish Nocturne. The game combines good game play with a great theme, where you play a character in the early 1930's who is part of a secret gov't agency ( hello X-Files Fans! ) and has to hunt down werewolves and ghouls and other creatures. The screen shots look great, especially the enemies and although the game does require a good system to run on it's definitely worth a look at and you can grab the demo or just check out the AVI's here. The game is due for shelves on Halloween.

Some of the options take place in an entirely diffrent parts of the map, which is like having an extra map. The obstacle course map is team play only, however I have put in FFA starts. All of the rest of the maps have been tested for the FFA(survival) starts to make sure they work fine. I spent hours and hours painstakingly designing, testing, and adding to all of the maps the right combination of vehicles, objects, weather and of course Tangos, to provide maps that have little or no lag on most systems of 56k or higher. The 747(Hijacked) map will run smoother on Higher end systems, and faster connections such as DSL or Cable due to the content of that map. I have also included a coop map!"

 The Next Big Thing - It seems that Y2K may have something to offer us with a little help from our friends at Bungie. The Game is called HALO, and it had everyone spellbound at this years E3. I found the site by accident..Bungie is keeping most of the stuff under wraps and the game isn't due until mid 2000, a long time to wait. Viewing the screen shots from the game only makes the wait seem worse. I'll try to keep my eye on it as it develops and update you on what some people are saying will be the next evolution in the P.C. industry. Until then you can feast your eyes on the game and its screen shots here.

Gun System Hits P.C. Shelves - Act Labs takes us back to the days of Duck Hunt, with their new Gun System for the P.C., but is it worth the 90$? Well you might want to wait, that is until some better games come out that are supported by the GS. The GS comes with two pistols ( that look something like those horrible detergent guns from the bad 50's space movies), and a console for movement. Although the gun looks goofy, from what I have read it has good response and control. For now it looks like the GS will be more suited towards the hunting game enthusiasts.

 USAF by EA - Team TAC's own Ronin sends word on the new flight simulation USAF by EA..."Bless the Virgin Mary, as the holy mother of all interactive flight sims was released to the market today. (Even though some of us with connections had it 24 hours prior.) Janes has done it again with a smashing opener to their already famous flight sims and "World War" concept. USAF will undoubtably go down as one of the finest of all previous sims. Have you ever wanted to drop Napalm and fry those pesky AAA emplacements around Khe Sahn, or ride the wild pony on the strike to kill the "Dragon" Bridge? How about take a joy ride down the Grand Canyon and BOOM the onlookers at Lake Meade? Then go and mix it up with all the hot USAF pilots in your own MIG-29? Military flight sim enthusiasts beware the graphics rival World War II Fighters and the sound is by far the best yet. Come on over to the dark side and ride an F117 downtown Baghdad on the opening night of festivities. You will actually experience the fireworks fist hand.
Reporting to you from the front seat of my A-10 Warthog as I flame a column of Iraqi Republican Guard tanks!!! KABOOM!!!

Rogue Spear Patch is Out! - The Rogue Spear Patch was released today, here is what it updates...
  • Found and eliminated some bandwidth hogs in multiplayer.
  • Fixed the pink areas and bad text on Permedia 2 cards.
  • Fixed the crash when playing back a replay that was recorded with AutoRun turned on.
  • Fixed a potential lockup if a player jumps off a ledge while AIs are following.
  • The "Invert" option on the joystick remapping screen should work correctly now.
  • Fixed auto-aim being turned on when the player attempts to switch teams during the early stages of a death motion.
  • Players who join while a game is ongoing no longer send their armpatches immediately but rather wait for the next game to start. This fixes the problem of players joining during the action causing a lag for everyone.
  • Added a new multiplayer only map called "Bunkers".
  • Fixed the short freeze that occurred when selecting "Mission Orders" from the briefing screen.
  • Replaced "Ready To Continue" messages on multiplayer results screens with ready indicator in player list.
  • Server can force the game to continue past the results screen after a multiplayer game instead of waiting for all players to click continue by pressing the forward arrow a second time.
  • Disable the observer mode key when running a replay.
  • Kick out terrorists in terrorist hunt / lone wolf farther if they are in the same room as the insertion zone / base. If they are in a different room, they can be anywhere. This reduces the incidents of terrorists starting off right in the team's face.
  • Adjusted which weapon skill was used at what zooms. Full submachinegun zoom now uses full assault skill, instead of using a bit of sniper skill.
  • AIs will now call "Clear!" once they have cleared a room.
  • Changed the Steyr AUG to use the rifle reticule to stop confusing players.
  • Removed the intermediate zoom level on the G36K.
  • Changed the "if you are zoomed, you can only walk" to be "if you are zoomed more than an MP-5 can zoom, you can only walk". This is 3X.
  • Loosened some of the server-side gunshot validation checks to lessen the penalties for high-ping players.
  • Improvements to the camera code to eliminate some cases of the camera being outside of the world after dying.
  • Added support for Creative's EAX.DLL so more players can get EAX effects.
  • Improved the support for foreign keyboards in the remapping screen by detecting keys that are in a different location from a US keyboard.
  • The forced time delay between trigger pulls is no longer increased if you are wounded.
  • Character scaling in the X and Z directions is now capped between 0.1 and 1.0 to avoid a cheat that allowed players to run faster than they should.
  • The Rommel.CXP file now goes through the mod system properly so it can be edited as part of a mod.
  • Fixed some bad character models in the Train Yard Lone Wolf and Terrorist Hunt missions.
  • Changed default player selection on multiplayer results screens to be local player instead of first player.
  • Updated formatting and contents of multiplayer RSResults*.log files.
  • Added an option to RSConfig to force fullscreen and run DXDiag. Added some system information.
  • Reduced problems with flashing during loading sequences.
  • Loading screens will continue to animate while waiting for others to finish their loads instead of stopping the animation and appearing to freeze the system.
  • Multiplayer games will not start in cooperative multiplay until all active and observer players have finished loading.
  • Disconnecting users in a multiplayer game will no longer alert terrorists with a death noise.
  • Server locks the game temporarily during the countdown sequence to prevent other users from joining and halting the game start.
  • Fixed a number of problems with text being truncated or cut off improperly.
  • Custom armpatches no longer show up on some terrorists in multiplayer terrorist hunt missions.
  • Fixed problem with some characters causing the truncation of the rest of the string (most common with higher ascii, accented characters).
  • Ten lines of chat are now allowed.
  • Chat will now wrap if it is longer than the width of the screen.
  • Eliminated "ghost" Rogue Spear task on taskbar when you quit game.
  • Fixed the body armor assigned to certain terrorists.
  • Made some cosmetic adjustments to the rangefinder portion of the binocular reticule.

New version makes the mod playable from the MODS directory and even creates a shortcut on your desktop for this purpose. That way you don't have to throw my mod in the recycle bin just so you can play Multi-player. I have not got MP working yet but am making progress. The new release adds a couple new textures, adds the M203 to your secondary list, corrects some text errors, fixes a bug with the reticules, and adds 0.50 HE ammo for your Barretts, SR-50, and the AW-50. You can get the mod from the downloads page on my site, or direct link via here (Yep, Sooner, I moved again. Xtreme network gave me an offer I couldn't refuse) Best regards to all!

Thank you for your email dated Thursday, October 14, 1999. Our Virus Lab. has checked the file, LWM4.exe, from your web site and report the following:
"The LWM4.exe file detected as "Backdoor.IMailer" by another anti-virus product is harmless. It looks like a false alarm. The file is an installer using a product called Paquet Builder. It is the Paquet Builder software that the other anti-virus product detects."
I hope this helps.

Update on the Virus NOT - - I snagged the following from Lloyd's site today
For those who are rightfully concerned about the virus, here is what we know:
Only AVP will detect the virus (Backdoor.IMailer). Norton, Inoculan, InoculateIT, and McAfee will not.
AVP does not list any info about this virus on their web site.
Not all who have downloaded the mod have the virus.
My files on my HDD are clean, according to AVP.
My host, Xtreme Network, has scanned my files on their server (using AVP) and found nothing.
I downloaded the files as if I were a player, using the link on my site, scanned the files and found nothing. All this having been said, we either have a rare virus that nobody but AVP knows about (even though they don't have anything about it in their virus encyclopedia) and that affects some but not all who download it, or AVP is misreading something.
-Lloyd
I personally scanned the files on Norton Anti Virus 4.0 (updated this week) and found nothing. Lloyd took heat on this on several forums. The flamers didn't even review all the facts like there was only one source calling the virus and that Lloyd started investigating the problem immediately. Keep up the good work Bro your credibility stands at TAC!

New Creative Labs Card - Get ready for a new gaming experience this holiday season!!! Hot on the heels of the Sound Blaster X-Gamer card is the Smell Blaster Live!. The card comes with a special release of Rogue Spear from Red Storm Entertainment. Now you can not only hear and see the action, but you can smell it also. With the new technology and exclusive "In-Your-Face-Fan" that attaches to the card you will enter a realm of realism never before experienced in a game. Imagine playing the 747 mission in Rogue Spear, as you follow the fuel truck to the aircraft you get to smell the rich aroma of the exhaust from the truck. Included is the tear gas addon for Rogue Spear. Throw some tear gas at your friends and they will actually smell it! Lets see how good they can aim when their eyes are tearing up, nose is running, and they are vomiting all over the keyboard. Thats right, it does not get any more real than this! The Smell Blaster also comes with many new games like...Laughing Gas, Proctology 101, Little Bobbie's Adventure at the Dump, and A Day at the Morgue...all with intense Smell Blaster compatability. Order the Smell Blaster now and beat the holiday crowds!

Get the file here. I will be creating some more soon, if you know how to add uniforms without overwriting current ones please let me know. If you have any questions or comments please contact me. I tested the skins in Terrorist hunt, single player, mission 4 (Kosovo).

This skin was created by none other than Martin, and no it is not the real Martin Riggs. New textures are included. To install just unzip and extract into C:\Program Files\Red Storm Entertainment\Rogue Spear. I am wondering when the Danny Glover skin is coming.
