HackMaster2003

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. |
