HIDDEN & DANGEROUS FANATIC SITE IS BACK ONLINE

what is the importance in this news you may ask , well as all people that have followed development in editing from the beginings of hidden and dangerous will know that h&d Fanatic was at the forefront of research some time ago but for some reason the site stop being updated back in 1999, but it seems that LICKSHOT has taken control of this great site and will maintain it . link for this site has been added. so please go visit and support this legendary site

HIDDEN & DANGEROUS:US2 SITE RECOGNIZED AND LINKED

in other news, the site HIDDEN & DANGEROUS:US2 has been finally linked , i have erred in a great way by thinking that this was a mirror of the hidden and dangerous2.com.uk website . this is a completely diferent site dedicated to the original hidden and dangerous .sorry for the snafu link added

MINOR RANT ABOUT RAINBOW 6 ROUGE SPEAR

again i have gotten desperate for hidden and dagereous like tactical combat. i have been playing rouge spear. i would not call it a landmine but playing this game is more work than actual fun. the planing involved is so complex and decisions cannot be made on the fly.you have a huge arsenal of weaponry but most missions require the use of suppresed weapons wich are limited in their use . also the total reliance on hostage rescue is overwelming there is more hiding and running involved than actual combat .in order for a game to begreat it has to be excellent in both single player as well as multiplayer like hidden and dangerous . I can only express dissapointment that this game has such a huge following not just of players but of moders, there are mods out there wich add about 96 new weapos including models and descriptions .mods that change the game into other historical conflicts . and more being made every day . sometimes life is not fair(chicken soup for the soul) .

STEP INTO THE MINEFIELD

NEED UPDATE ON EFFECTIVENESS OF H&D.DTA HACKS AND OTHER RANTS

My modified *.DTA files have been available for download for some time now and im am interested in knowing about their effectivenes. im am specially interested if they can be used in multiplayer games and if so do they give their user an advantage.also can they be used to play against players using unmodified DTA files. In other news i would like to remind people that the files available for download in this site are FOR EDUCATIONAL NON PROFIT USES ONLY; i am not making any money out of this and you should not either .this site strictly DOES NOT ENCOURAGE OR APPROVE OF piracy in any way. this as an answer to some peoples questions about burning copies of the hidden and dangerous original cds. this site purpose is that of modding and adding on to the hidden and dangerous experience not to backup or duplicate original cds, trust me there is plenty of information out there just use a search engine ;-) besides dont be cheap,the hidden and dagerous and devils bridge pack is selling for about $15US now adays buy a legitimate copy . In very diferent news I have also noticed that some of my links such as the one for Alex Deviliers dragonsoft site is not working. as you all know the Hidden And Dangerous scene is very volatile and the fear of hidden and dangerous being relegated to oblivion is a very real one; my guess is that Alex's site is down temporarily especially after all the effort he has put into his dragon unpacker. I have not been able to find any new relevant h&d sites lately . if you find one that is relevant to moding and editing purposes email me.

POSSIBLE NON H&D ADDITION TO SALS WEBSITE

Since I started playing tactical shooters like H&D I have not cared much for first person shooters the likes of Quake and Halflife, too much emphasis by the modding comunity on multiplayer and not enough on actual reallism . Until I started playing FOX interactive's The Operative NO ONE LIVES FOR EVER. this game rocks. Forget tomb raider's Lara CrofT, NOLF's heroine Cate Archer is exponentially hotter and actually has a brain indicated by witty interaction with game characters. the weaponry and enemy AI actually require you to use the tactics learned in H&D; stealth and precision fire control . some weapons are the sorth of thing we need in H&D like suppresed walter p38 and supressed enfield mkIV rifle. weapons use diferent types of real world ammo like Full metal jacket rounds for armored targets and hollow point for soft targets. and not only that but its open architecture. the makers make the editing tool that was used to CREATE THE GAME available to the public FOR FREE!, with them you can create complete levels, cinemas, and import weapons and new shapes. IF only the makers of H&D had shared some of this openess. I am tring my had out at moding this excellent platform and when i have created a viable mod i will create a subsection to this site devoted to NOLF. this by no means indicates lost interest in H&D in my part. Hidden and dangerous is still THE tacticall shooter to play even after the years it has been out there and that it is trully of cult following. Rest assured that my quest to enhance H&D will continue.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
It's mothers day here in Mexico so no major updates today just added a few more GIFS to make the site look nicer. still looking for the file the controls weapon loadouts and weigths. I believe its either INVENTORY.TAB OR ULOKMY.TAB. some of the weapons in the game historically were much ligther and had higher ammo capacity, also looking fo a way to import devils bridge weapons like the Tokarev ppsh42. some of the files are writen in a foreign language wich i believe is Czech. also i would like to know wich programing language was used in the the game . rember any help is appreciated
