Prey is a 2006 first-person shooter developed by Human Head Studios, produced by 3D Realms, and was published by 2K Games. Prey uses a modified version of id Tech 4.

"A high-concept mix of mind-melting gravitational puzzles beautiful graphics and intense FPS combat" - Games TM



I've reinstalled this game. I enjoyed the multiplayer. It offered a very different feel with gravity-bending! I never completed the single player game. I plan to do so soon.

When I went patch hunting it took a while to find what I needed. Documentaion wasn't easy to find so I've decided to add some details to this site.

Turns out all you need is one file, patch v1.4

Doom 3 news.. EMZ mod not dead ? 
Saturday, 29 December, 2012, 07:20 - Doom
Posted by ned
From the Enhanced Militarized Zone Dev blog..
I've hardly had chance to look at the EMZ code in the last couple of years. Following the GPL release of the oringial engine source code and the release of the strange beast that is the BFG edition I've decided to put some effort in to get version 2.0 to a state where it can be playtested.

2012

What a year.

BIG real life changes.
Very LITTLE gaming.
Virtually no internet connection.. tethering via my iPhone and 3G isn't game friendly.


It's been 12 month since my last post!



Here's a list of some things I'll be doing in the near future when time permits.

Will be checking out Doom 3: BFG Edition and see if it works with my nedDOOM3 [RealDamage] Mod.

I'm curious about Far Cry 3 co-op.

TomTom over at the FritzBot forums is back working on waypoints which is awesome news! I'll be having a look at them for sure..




All servers are offline for now and have been for several months.
More info on this hopefully soon.

Good service deserves a mention

2011 is nearly over. I certainly hope I get more gaming done in 2012 than I did this year! Even my home server was down for most of it (sorry for those asking and me saying "soon" for most of the year). Work commitments were very high but so far next year is looking resonable as far as time goes.

This brings me to what I've just setup at home. For my test server I now have ADSL 2 and it's live. Testing will start sometime in January to see how the modem gets on etc.

My gaming machine finally now has Windows 7 and decent sized HDDs. My Playstation 3 now has a good wireless connection after the installation of a wireless extender.


Here is where the good service mentioned in the title of this post comes in. Some of what I wanted done I either didn't know how to do or it would have taken me too long to do, eg. mirror RAID my two new drives and set up the wireless extender.

I gave Marc Wannenmacher Computer Specialist, Computer Repairs Gold Coast a call. He was the preferred IT guy at one of my old places of work so I was confident of his skills but I was unsure if he would want to do what I required. He said yes and was happy to come over in the evening which is a big plus for me! Flawless and convenient service at a fair price. When he left, everything was running exactly how I wanted it to run.

If you're on the Gold Coast then Marc is the man to see for your IT needs.

[ET] Raw Castle TE (Final) released! 
Saturday, 15 October, 2011, 06:17 - Enemy Territory
Posted by ned
Yes it's late but it's here. redRum left mapping in pursuit of his musical passion. This combined with a hard drive failure meant this map stayed at 99% complete for many years. I ended up in contact again with him and he gave me permission to finalise as much as possible and release Raw Castle TE. It's not 100% finished but it's 99+ % complete.


===

Raw Castle Tournament Edition
A Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory custom map.




The allied army has taken a farm in East Anglia. There is a castle down the hill, the Axis are using it as their stronghold. The fortress is strongly defended by an old big wall which the Allies will have to pass through. Valuable documents are resting in a vault inside the castle. Will the Allies be able to steal and transmit them?



Authored by Roger "redRum" Creus
Finalised and released by ned (TOG*neddie)
-with written permission by Roger Creus-

For those that remember the beta version of this map, here's the changelog..

From 99% completion to release by ned with written permission by Roger Creus.

Known issue.

In some parts of the map the mortor will detonate in the sky. This was a known issue in earlier versions and was fixed by red to a point where practical use of the mortor will mostly work.

[L4D] Crash Bandicoot Course updated

FlyingBandicoot has updated Crash Bandicoot Course to v4.2




Ok, finally updated :D

It took longer than I envisioned as I had problems with textures etc. But hopefully its all good now. Let me know if there are any problems and I will do my best to fix them.

Soooo, changes:

-Made Versus mode easier (hopefully) - reduced life on Tikimon, reduced life on Ripper Roo, reduced zombies, reduced life on robots on level 2, and overall just tried to make it easier. Without a full team on both sides to try it on, I don't know how balanced it is. So any feedback on the versus side is welcome.

-Made campaign easier somewhat - reduced life for Tikimon and Ripper Roo, reduced zombies here and there slightly, removed a few scripted specials. Tweaked here and there.

-Made it so custom sounds work (at least they do for me, let me know if they don't but they should do now).

-Hopefully enabled textures on models to work too, as for some reason, I had real trouble getting them to work again (mainly because I used to use Pakrat, so now I had to mess with the directory etc).

-Fixed miniguns disappearing and thus leaving the player stuck. (This was originally made to make it more difficult, but with that odd glitch, I removed it now so they stay, enabling Tikimon to die easier.)

So, I will be touching up the L4D2 one as well and hopefully both of these campaigns will be as good as they will be.

Send any feedback as soon as possible, as I do not know if I will be able to work on them in the near future after this week.
