HAHAHAHAHAHA! AND YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DEAD! Well, yeah, we kinda are, but hey! Here's an update!
No one except a select few have voted on a new leader, so it's been kinda dead for a while waiting.
Since it's basically dead since I left, I've thought that since I will be doing modding for the UT2K3 engine, why not move it to that? I geuss I'll be taking over the mod again, unless someone picks up the HL version. I'd like to start all over when we move to the next engine, so anyone who wants to join the team for Hitman being made for the next engine, email me, this includes regular teammembers that are already on the hl project too, cause alot of u seem to be dead.

I have an announcement to make.

I have decided that I am no longer going to be working on this mod. My programming skills leave alot to be desired, and I am having trouble implementing many things. I am also starting to loose interest in this mod, and also school has started for me so even if I wanted to I have no time now. I am also getting really lazy lately, and even when people who want to join this mod team email me, I put it off until later and than it never gets done (I apologize to those of you I've done this to).

This doesn't mean the mod is ending or anything. I would like to turn my position over to someone who I feel would do a good job on this mod. If you're interested in having my position, email me. I will pick who I feel is the best out of everyone and than hand over all the sourcecode (which I recommend gets scrapped, I've taken alot out of there because it ended up getting so buggy that I restarted with a new sourcecode, so I only really have the weapons in there right now and the hud changes from before), models, sounds, etc. to that person and let that person figure out what to do with it all, so none of everyone elses work will be lost or anything, so don't worry about that.

Another big reason I am doing this is because I'm starting to doubt if this can be done with the Half-Life engine without years of work on it. This engine simply isn't very flexible at all. I'm not saying it can't be done, I just know there is no way I could do it.

If you would like to email me regarding taking over my position, my email is angry_madnow@yahoo.com

What I will probably do from here is focus more on school work and in my spare time I hope to make a few *small* modifications to Postal 2 once that is out.

Team, I've had a blast, and I wish you all luck with this. You're definately all the best people I have had the opportunity of working with and maybe eventually we can all work on something again together, who knows.
Bye :)

Like Schwartz told me in a email, i deserve a madel for all this. You ask yourself why? because i finished just another model, the SIG sauer P232. I know that nobody should praise himself like this but i am proud about my work. By the way its the 4th model in 4 days or something (dont you think i can be proud of myself now?)
Wow

This is my week of good news i finished the akimbo Colts and sent it to Schwartz. Schwartz made some Screenshots and i think he will upload them in the next time (or so i hope). Right now i am trying to finish the P232 single model and Dual model. Maybe i can finish them next week.
grrrrr

Hello :) Yeah we're still alive. Like GZA stated in his post, he just finished the Mp5k. I'm waiting right now to hear back from Mad Hatter who showed interest in joining the team. *ahem* I just added Spirit of HL to the mod (oops, should probably get permission, heheh. I'll do that soon) and made it so enemies with automatic weapons fire full-auto and not in bursts. I finally fixed a little bug in the HUD that has been bothering me for quite some time now, heh. I've also been fixing bugs, but the one big I seem to be unable to fix is zooming. Before upgrading the SDK, it worked fine. Now it doesn't and I've been trying all sorts of crap to get it working again. If anyone knows how I might be able to fix it, please email me, I'd appreciate it. Once I work out some things and have a free night I should also be uploading a new alpha for team-members to test out whats there so far. Hopefully that should be this weekend, but I'm not terribly good at keeping promises so don't get pissed if it doesn't happen, heheh.
Yay! Finally quit drugs! :)

          Alive.

          Yes, we are alive. Most of you I hope already know that but those of you who didnt are comming from PHL I belive. Since people have been gone some things have happened, most importantly Calosus has skinned/reskinned GZA's mossenburg (sp?) shotgun. And for you we have 3 pictures of it and it looks great. Good work on the skin Cal and great work on the model GZA.

          Im pretty slow and just realized ALOT of shit is fucked up with the site, like images not working and such so in the next week I will be trying to fix all of that stuff and make it all run smoothly again like it did once upon a time long long ago. Also as some of you may know I have a new forum up, I didnt make it but it works great though there is an odd error that happens every now and then when you try to post it over all is good. I am also making new graphics for it so it goes with this site more. So please go over there and post something, I dont care what just post something. Since I dont think the button to the right works here is the url http://www.insanejoker.net/hitman/forum/index.php Oh yes and now that school if finaly over I can spend more time refining things on the site and such.

          Swartz is still coding and is begining to vernture to the client side coding. If he can figure it out we will hopefully be able to have lockpicking I belive along with partical effects. He is also tweaking some of the weapon code such as accuracy, rate of fire and other such things.

         I belive thats all for now, as soon as some other informatino comes up Im sure someone will post it here. And here are the pictures of the shotty.

   


Skools out yay

Muahahaha

Well I belive I have done it, I think I got the news page to be dynamic so that I dont always have to update it and such. It took me a while because I can into an unexpected error which took an extreamly long time to figure out. However now that I have figured out that error this all works.

Throughout the day I will be updating some of the other pages (such as the Fiction section) to also run off the database so that Panther can update his story whenever he wants. I havent really tested these pages that much so if you find any erros please let me know by dropping me an email at dejoker@insanejoker.net. Also that said you might see some html code in this news post, Im not sure if the database picks everything up the way I intend it to so please just ingore them if you see em, Ill know they are there.

Well thats it for the moment, now back to work fiddling with everything else on this site...
oOoOoOo Im good *does a little dance*

     Evil...

     Well I have been trying to get this stupid database stuff to work so that everyone on the team can update the news themselves. I think I am getting closer to a solution day by day...who knows maybe I can even get it to work by tomorrow. Anyway once I get that done there will probably be more updates and such. Ah yes just so everyone knows we DONT have a forum at the moment, hence the links to the forum not working. If someone would like to find one for me to put up I would gladly do so otherwise your all stuck with me trying to figure out why this database shit isnt working at the moment.

     Umm...Here, you atleast get something for waiting. It was made by GZA, as always nice work. Its an MP5K thingy-ma-jiggy I think.


Evil databases! Evil server! *stabs .asp page with spork*


  
    Updated by: DeJoker's Insanity Date: Mar, 5 2002    

     Blah.

     Well I switched servers again so we again have no message board. I think i have the news update thingy all figured out though, just need to test it then it will be up (hopefully sometime tonight). This means anyone thats on the team and thinks they would like to post news every now and then please email me with what you would like for a login name and a password so I can add you to the database. Other than that I am kinda busy so I cant post the other pictures I have for you people. Hang tight though, I will put them up soon.
EVIL SERVER PEOPLE!
  
    Updated by: DeJoker's Insanity Date: Mar, 2 2002    

     Yahoo!

     Well I switched servers and all seems to be well other than the minor fact that we lost the message boards. There is a temporary one up though that you can go post stuff at...its a complete peice of shit but its better than nothing I guess. Anyway you can either get to it by clicking on this link http://www.insanejoker.net/wwwboard or by the good 'ol forum button. You dont really have to register, just use whatever name you want but please dont be an asshole about it all. Now for the reason I switched servers other than the fact I didnt want to pay for my other one. Well this way I will be able to make a thing (hopefully this weekend) that will allow the team members to update the news themselves, once that works I will set one up for the fiction section. When that all is good and done and working I will work on a new forum. Due to the minor fact that I wont be here for the most part of next week (*gasp* real life issues) it will be atleast a week till there are new forums made unless someone sends me a good one.

     Now for the stuff that I said I would show you people. I have a few things that I could show you but since your all very kind how about.....in game shots of some guns. That sound ok to you? Well if it dosnt tuff luck because thats what your getting. Just look below for a picture of GZA's dual Colt 1911's unsilenced, a single one silenced and a nice Beretta with the silencer on it. Now I have more pictures for you of other things but you must wait to see them.

     Again sorry for any trouble this website has caused you people....now your pictures. Great work GZA.

   

Ah at last an IIS server, you will now praise me as your ruler! BOW DOWN!
  
    Updated by: DeJoker's Insanity Date: Feb, 27 2002    

     *gulp*

     Well I just switched servers, this might be a good thing or might not be...however in the short time its not going to be that good because we wont have a forum till I make one, that is unless you people would like to help me out and find one that could be used temporarly or perhaps perminatly if you people like it enough. All I would need is a download spot and the forum must be able to run on an IIS server not a unix one (so it can be cgi and all that good stuff). But if someone finds one or knows of a good free forum out there please email me a link or some information about it here at dejoker@insanejoker.net Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. When everything comes back to working order and the server is up and running well (should be about 48 hours) we will have a plethora of screen shots for you showing off many nice things...That is all I am going to say for now, must get ready for server change....
I hate doing this...
