HackMaster2003
607MB (unzipped) - This may be the best sounding script ever offered for Links golf. The better your speakers, the quicker you will know this to be true. I looked for old music wavs and began to accumulate new copies, this time in stereo. I also kept finding new music that would fit the script. Using a Creative Soundblaster Audigy soundcard, I hooked up to a stereo, a VCR and a DVD player and began to record wavs directly from the best source. The result is the 600MB Hackmaster2003 soundscript.

Containing over 1400 individually cleaned and enhanced wav combinations, I suggest the use of headphones. All the audio effects are much clearer that way and you can feel the true power in the script. Headphones may also save embarrassment, because this script is rated "R". It was also designed with online play in mind. The wav volume of each wav has been adjusted and blends well with microphone chat from fellow players.

For some, the best part of this new script will be removing the wavs and using them to play with opponents online. If you're like me and you enjoy a little "wav chatter", you will find hundreds of wavs all ready to go.

This script is rated 'R' due to strong language.

There are a few people who I would like to acknowledge. Without their help, this sound script would be much less than it is.
J-Man- You've never played Links without my script and you were the first to tell me that the old script "sounded like shit" as you so aptly put it. That, more than anything else, was what got me to fix it.
ChuckyB- Fellow script author, and weekly Links companion. I can't remember how many wavs I "borrowed" from you, but each time I asked, they were in my mailbox the next day. You are the most diligent of supporters, giving me encouragement when finishing became a struggle.
Axe- Because of you, more than anyone else, this script sounds as good as it does. Thanks for your time, your support and your wav contributions as well. O-TAY!
Martin- If you hadn't convinced me to make Hackmaster 2000 public domain, there would certainly be no Hackmaster2003. So, if anybody out there needs someone to blame....

And to all those who have created scripts past and present, thank you for sharing your talents. I freely admit that I have "borrowed" one or more wavs from probably every script there is, with the exception of the German sound script. (Which I'm sure I would have, as well, had I understood any of the wavs.)

Thank you for downloading Hackmaster2003.

I hope you will enjoy it. -H

The entire Links community lost an icon on October 1st, 2004. Larry Schwartz, a.k.a. "Hackmaster" of the Hackmaster Soundscript fame passed away after a long fight against Cancer. May this script remain forever as a tribute to a man who was loved, honored and respected by many.
