Oh good, I found the old thread. Just a few announcements with regards to the UC-1.13 Hybrid:
1) The new beta is nearly ready.
2) As a way to get around some (hopefully temporary) .exe limitations:
a) I've pasted the subway directory into the SIR OS background image. Until we find an easier way to muck around with the in-game websites this will have to do.
b) I've reactivated some of the deSantos Quints to act as Smitty's clerks: i) We have the functionality of Smitty in Port Kip replaced, ii) Rudesea's BR outlet is now staffed and open for business, iii) I'm going to stick a rogue arms dealer in Galileo (selling really hi-tech stuff). In addition, Manny will be pumping gas somewhere in Danubia.
These are in my opinion "brute force" work-arounds, and still require some clean-up if they are to stay in place. For instance I haven't cleaned out the deSanto's speech and text, so while being gun shop clerks, they're talk like bartenders (see point 5). Oh by the way, Judge, you don't have these changes in that version I sent you earlier in the week, sorry about wrecking any progress with the need to start a new game.
3) Lesh's map stuff has been impemented: the next release will have cities as implied by the Urban Chaos Map (no just a picture overlaid on the Alruco map). Also, all city sectors should be garrisoned. Oh does anyone remember the name of that island south of Rudesea?
4) Thanks to Marlboro Man, Tbird94lx, and DBB (can someone get me a specific set of names to credit for the Russian NV scope, PKS-07, and Minutia Sniper Scopes?) I've got some additional "toys in game." Marlboro Man and Tbird, I've already reduced the "glare" off the P99, and I've done some further modifications to its interface image. My eyes hurt after all the pixel by pixel stuff, and...
5) For the month of February, I'm going to be busy with professional opportunities, so when I release end of this week, I may not be too responsive to my beta testers. Sorry folks, but on the plus side, as long as I didn't commit any major screw ups you have almost a whole month where the mod won't change.
a) In what is probably the last time this month I'll be using MS Office for a hobby, I'll try to type out tonight something legible as far as testing regime and things that need to be checked. Two points come to mind right now: i) do the deSanto's, Devin, and Manny(former Gabby) show up? ii) Are you having fun with the mod?
b) We need some help in areas of hunting down voice and text files associated with the deSanto's brothers. Also, need someone who can convert the old Urban Chaos loadscreens to the new screen resolutions (or create new ones, perhaps incorporating important info like the subway links)
One final thing, this mod is up to date with the SVN release up to yesterday. Therefore the .exe is new, and the last new gun added to the graphics was the Mauser rifle.

Hi, a hidden tester until now here ...
I was the one w/ those sawed-off shotguns only.
So decided to make a complete clean install. 1st sector i recived some pistols, but only because ive stolen them from the soldiers. They did not drop weapons, only some uniforms w/ drop all set on.
2nd sector (militia station) all those sawed-off shotguns, some with interesting munition (5,45 mm), agan got this while steeling it from the soldier. Elhi has the Bizon as it possible should be.
3rd sector (Rude Dog, he has the commando) all soldiers sawed-off shotguns, so decided to shot this gang, and got with drop all noting when the tool-tip shows a pistol.
Also the steel menu shows no items, no frame, only the buttons for okay, select all and cancel. It to a while until i found them, before i was thinking the game hangs.
All thos errors are looking like some data file is not in the right position. I proceded exactly following the readme, using a up-to-dat Ver 1.13 installation (a working one) and my working installation of UC. The UC-Hybrid installation i made in a new directory copied from the 1.13 installation.
Any hints?
playing at 800x600 and 1024x768.
