Good thing I popped on this forum - there are some updated tools I didn't have.
- I'm putting together a new release of Hardwar with patches, skins and extras included and am going to call it Hardwar - Enhanced. This will be uploaded to Megaupload.com and posted on forums for all to enjoy.
It will have it's own installer no need to go download all the patches and manually install, the installer will do everything for you. - Or I could simply make it portable without the installer but I think the installer gives it a nice touch.
I have done this with a few other games such as:
Half Life Source Enhanced Battlezone 2 - Enhanced System Shock 2 - Enhanced Virtual Pool 3 Enhanced
I have 3 others I will not mention here because of the legality of their abandonware status is in the grey area. This makes a total of 7 games in my Retro Releases Collection and the inclusion of Hardwar will make 8. It will be tested with Windows 7 64 bit so it should work on any version of windows.
I called them my Retro Releases Collection because these games have updated graphics, patches, and patches/tools to make them look awesome and run well on newer systems. Some of them are DirectX 10 compatible now where they were never meant to play on DX 10. I call them Retro because they are both old games and yet newly retrofitted.
I will add Hardwar to this list as soon as I get it done, and of course I will happily provide this forum with links to this game.
I wish to know, are there any updated texture mods for the buildings and scenery that are not listed on Zedo's site?
Thanks.

This guy claims he can give hardwar direct x 10 support and improve the graphics.But he posted this 5 years ago and no one took any notice.

Wonder if he can be tracked down. I might start offering services as a private eye at this rate

Maybe one of the forum administrators can email him directly?

I've sent him a pm too. Only other means to find him will perhaps be through his halflife mod.

I *highly* doubt he got Hardwar working in DirectX10, but I'll try to get his email address.

While I was trying to dig up his email address I found a massive hacking and modifications resource and community site called mod database www.moddb.com

Well I've tweeted Andrew, see what he's up to these days. Emailed the dark phoenix chap, but I don't hold much hope. Have a feeling that his hotmail probably isn't in use these days, but you never know!

I let Lee email him since he seems to be the "community outreach manager" these days.

As I suspected, there hasn't been a reply yet. There doesn't appear to be an MSN live profile attached to the hotmail address in question. I reckon it's a long abandoned address. Even still, you never know...

You might still find him in the games forums he was involved in before like battle zone 2 and half life?
