Outlaws Patch 15 Jul, 2001, 14:04 / 23 comments

By Spaff


Well... this is our first ever piece of Outlaws news I think. Outlaws has been around for about 4 years, and LEC have just released a patch for it! This new patch makes Outlaws Win2K compliant, work in Direct3D and it is possible to play in a resolution up to 1600 x 1200.

Having visited the Outlaws support site, I discovered that old updates of Outlaws have provided many new maps to play on, so if you didn't know that, you can re-live some classic cowboy moments.

I'm off to download the patches and shoot some varmits, or whatever the hell that word is.

    Ah, yes, Outlaws! I remember that one. I've only played the demo though, but it was fun to play. Btw, someone mentioned an Outlaws mod for HL. Where could I get it?

    http://www.geocities.com/olmod4hl/ you can't get the Mod just yet. The beta version is scheduled to be released sometime soon since the Alpha version critiques are being processed. Stay tuned ;)

    actually i think a guy/gal at LEC was quickly told to make this patch (or someone just made it in his/her sparetime) because the OL Mod for Half Life reaches beta fase shortly! :) And I tested the Alpha version MUHAHAH, it looks good! :)

    HOLY F--- YES! I've been playing that thing with a crappy glide wrapper that went all funny in the underwater scenes. Now they need to add 3D support (and mouse-look) to Dark Forces. Thank you LEC!

    any chance for some screenshots in the new resoultion for those of us not fortunate enough to have the game? im curious to see how it looks
  • QueZTone on 16 Jul, 2001, 09:20…
    woo you're in luck today :P I took some pics with HyperSnap. I set the thing on Direct3D and the resolution to 1024*768 (1600*1200 is max but i didnt want to push it :P). Use the addies below to find the pics :D (both +/- 150kb) http://www.queztone.com/1024-768-D3D-1.jpg http://www.queztone.com/1024-768-D3D-2.jpg

    we have 3. tabias was here first i guess .. you'll have to battle it out MOJO ROYAL SMACKDOWN 2000
  • tabias on 17 Jul, 2001, 03:42…
    Three? Aw, I thought I was the only one, so that I could make up fake cowboy phrases and try'n pass them off as authentic. Like, "Well butter mah bronco and call 'im brisket!" or something.

    Now they just need to make old DOS games like Sam & Max Windows compatible.
  • TaXicab on 16 Jul, 2001, 01:52…
    Old DOS games are compatible in WinXP trust me, i tried. Get XP. it rules.
  • LGH on 16 Jul, 2001, 15:21…
    Hmm, what IS WinXP? And where can I get it?
  • Remi O on 16 Jul, 2001, 16:22…
    Windows XP - Microsoft's new OS that'll be released this fall.
  • Remi O on 16 Jul, 2001, 14:41…
    I have XP on my laptop actually... Never occured to me to try a game there. Thanks for the tips :)

    WHAT ABOUT SOUND THO?
  • tabacco on 16 Jul, 2001, 03:49…
    WinXP's supposed to include dos-mode sound support
  • spaff on 16 Jul, 2001, 14:31…
    THEN I MUST HAVE IT
  • TaXicab on 16 Jul, 2001, 21:03…

    I thought they buried that game years ago. It's great to see that they still care about their old games. Now we just need a similar patch for the classic adventures.
  • LGH on 16 Jul, 2001, 07:14…
    Yeah, but the patch for Outlaws was perhaps easier to create, since that game was already Windows-bades after all.
  • QueZTone on 15 Jul, 2001, 19:53…
    Outlaws is a veeeeeeery cool game :D played it for many years :) Oh just grabbing the oppertunity to give out my respect to the WAC, SWE and SOD for staying around for so long. Also to Paleface and OGB website! :D
