Just a little heads-up... I've purchased Trespasser on eBay for 99¢.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0105676244

Well actually, bid on it for 99¢. Very unlikely to go up. Shipping is $5.... grand total of $6... w0000t :pirate: (as soon as it arrives in the mailbox, I'll remove that item from the to-do list)

Update: Lost the eBay bid... I wasn't watching when it ended and someone beat me by 50¢. I have this hunch it may have been the auctioner him/herself, upping the bid with an alternate account to try and get me to pay more... Anyways I've bid on another Tres CD, being sold for the same amount which started right after the other one ended.. This time I'm not posting the link. :batman:

OK and I'm adding some more things I've thought of to the list of things to do:
  • FINALIZE HUD
  • Create ATX maps
  • (environmental design) - new hint triggers
  • Model dam road explodable rock
  • Script explodable rock event
  • Model High-Hide
  • Model TLW Mercedes car
  • Model/script sleeping dinosaur

:? Yeah I know Mickey.. well, Slash will be helping with some of it, and SI with some else of it. Slugger has also offered to help do foliage work. That's still less than 50% of the work being done by others but I'll take whatever I can get XD
