Hardwar:TACTICS v2007
<is> a mod, but more than that, it is a front end customisation application, designed to allow
for unlimited addition of new weapons by many authors with the option to put various
different types of weapons in unconventional weapon slots.

For those who are new to Hardwar, here is a quote from ModsDB:
Hardwar: Tactics
Probably the most contriversial Soldat mod ever created, Hardwar: Tactics features over 100 weapons
and an installer. Each weapon has its own statistics and descriptions, and most weapons can be placed in
more than one slot. (i.e., placing semi-auto rifles in the pistol slot, heavy machine guns in the assault rilfe slot)

Where does the contriversy come from? BladeRunner created the weapons by scaling down images of the
real guns, creating unique graphics. Most Soldat weapons are sprites, so other modders got mad.
-xtishereb at ModsDB

I have re-packaged Tactics and inclued about 30 or so new weapons I have been working on (between doing other things.)
More importantly, I have designed a new feature that directly affects ALL the final bullet damages and speeds in the whole game.

In the menu system you can set your "War" to 5 different scales:
Real Hardwar
Professional
Weekend Warrior
Piss Weak
Girly-Man

heres a pic:

ALSO! at the download site you can get your hands on MJ12[KingRaptor]'s Mod for
Hardwar:Tactics - Advanced Tactical Warfare V2.5!!!
He has modified most of the original Hardwar:TACTICS weapon interface and game graphics to his liking and added a S#!T load more weapons to the collection!!!

Here's the download site for it:
http://www.savefile.com/projects/985062
-a help file is included in the download, so you will be able to port or make your own weapons and include them into the growing collaboration!

If you have a Hardwar compatible weapons collection you would like to add to the fray, email me at:
bl-ad-eru-nn-er@in-bo-x.co-m (take out the -'s) and I will add it to the available downloads!

Enjoy the [Hard]war, you bunch of soldats!

Holy...
...Shit
Really nice, but i'm too lazy to download it...

Hmm. Said path not found, but started working after re-installation. Nice work.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #5 on:** February 28, 2007, 05:15:44 pm »

All the files should have been installed into a folder called "Hardwar Tactics" into your SOLDAT folder!
The main application should be sitting in the SOLDAT folder, along with the "Config.HWK" file (this file tells Hardwar: TACTICS application where to source its graphics and data from)

You MUST set up the Config.HWK file at the start of the FIRST launch, and then just confirm it every other time.
If this (above) is not done, then it will not work.

Please see the included help-file in the "HARDWAR TACTICS" folder!Â this will walk you through all the basics of installation and addition of weapons!

Cheers!
-also note that the MJ12 mod changes the weapon damage and speed specs DOWN, so please at least TRY Hardwar:TACTICS in its ORIGINAL form BEFORE updating it with his mod!!!

-Rumpel, please post a screen shot, so I can see "when" the problem occurs for you.

"We are currently upgrading our service to make uploads smoother.
Please get back in a hour!
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause." So I can't download it now. In the meantime, can I ask for some in-game screens?

@low: thanks.

I got a mirror up on Mod DB. Check it out here.
Also, this works a in mod folder with hacking, for those of you who are curious.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2007, 04:44:32 pm »

Rook_PL, for screen shots, check out my Hardwar:TACTICS homepage at: http://au.geocities.com/hardwarweaponskit/index.html

Rumpel, the martial arts and others are simply different fist damage levels that I relabelled for a laugh....
... Actually, yes you can use martial arts!Â -use these key presses:

L,L,D,R,J,R,U,U,D,L,D,R,R,U,D,U,L,FIRE

-This lets you do a spinning back reverse axe hand roundhouse knife thrust crane kick that will devistate your enemy!
...or you could just shoot em!Â

Xtishereb, PLEASE update your downloads on ModDB to include the MJ12 fix!
MJ12's ATW 2.5 mod does not list the newer weapons in Hardwar:TACTICS unless this fix is run after his mod.

EDIT:
Here is another pic showing some of the features:

(I hope that clarifies some stuff)

Rook_PL · « **Reply #13 on:** March 02, 2007, 08:42:01 am »

You did nice piece of work, I appreciate it, but I didn't like it. weapons are too large or small, usually with same sounds, and they are very similar to each other in game. I'll stay with Mecha, Evolved and Heretic.

Well actually the programs are quite different. I don't see gostek, skin, taunt and profile editors. The only thing that this has over mine is that it can alter weapons individually, which I didn't plan on adding to my program.

silverwolf · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2007, 07:23:20 pm »

ahhh....yes i remember hardwar tatics, it was 1 of my favourite mods, "how do u do programming?, See anything that has microsoft and put ur name on it" or somthing

Date Posted: March 03, 2007, 06:58:38 PM

omg it dosent work, it come out with a error message saying "unexpected end of archive" or something

MofoNofo · « **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2007, 06:41:26 am »

Ah, I remember you! Ahaha you're always so serious about your mod, makes me laugh

Might actually download it this time

tER · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2007, 06:56:16 am »

I have a early stage of The hardware tactics mod.So can you just upgrade this or do you have to reinstal it again with the newer version?

Date Posted: March 17, 2007, 07:53:42 AM

O yeah this mod is One of The greatest.

ITS GIGANTIC>>>

Realy good work

Will · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2007, 07:00:22 am »

well well , I remember you from soldatmods.tk. Good ol' times, you were always arguing with others about your resized weapons. Hahah anyway I've downloaded it some time ago and I can tell that you improved it alot since the first couple of versions. Good job and keep it up!

ps you could change the arnie graphic to that action man guy on the soldat home page banner. Would bring some good laughs IMHO

tER · « **Reply #21 on:** March 18, 2007, 10:55:52 am »

PLEASE GET THE OLD WA2000 SNIPER in this mod again?

I loved it

BladeRunner · « **Reply #22 on:** March 18, 2007, 05:59:36 pm »

Will:
Sorry, that would take a bit of stuffing around with the whole app gfx.

tER:
I'm not sure WHY that didnt make the final cut... You could drop one in there yourself easily enough tho!
Regards installing it over the original, I think it will simply drop any un-referenced weapons from the older version.

See the "Hardwar:TACTICS Help" topic on soldatmods.tk as to how the app references the weapons using the *.HWK
and *.WPN files: http://soldatmods.edgegaming.com/integramod/viewtopic.php?t=609

The Bone Collector · « **Reply #23 on:** March 18, 2007, 10:49:11 pm »

Hehe, I remember when other modders gave you a hard time about skewing pics, and calling that modding. Funny actually, coz I remember you said something that made them shut up. *goes and looks into archives*
Nice mod, but I do prefer the ones that have been drawn

Sytrus · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2007, 12:28:19 pm »

Hm....The weapons look strange in-game. The colors are totally wrong and stuff......help?

BladeRunner · « **Reply #25 on:** March 21, 2007, 06:18:06 pm »

Sytrus:
Post a screen shot so I can see what you mean!

The Bone Collector:
Every one has there own opinion on it eh? (You can always change the game gfx if you like the app enough!)

Magic Odd Effect · « **Reply #26 on:** March 21, 2007, 10:57:34 pm »

Problem...

The weapons won't change back to their originals! And they look the same way on the Internet as they do in single player!

Oh, and what he means is that all the weapons look the same color. Light grey.

Or is it white....

Don't blame me, I'm colorblind.

Sytrus · « **Reply #27 on:** March 22, 2007, 11:44:28 am »

No that's not it. Wait, I'll post a screen.

It's not as bad as yesterday, but the colors just arent as strong as they are in the bmp files.

S&W 500 only has 5 shots, not 6.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #31 on:** March 24, 2007, 05:02:21 pm »

Sytrus:
You are looking at MJ12's ATW mod (a mod that has changed my original gfx with hand drawn gfx) so the colours and lightness etc are nothing to do with Hardwar:TACTICS v2007.

You will need to uninstall his mod (and or) overwrite it by re-installing Hardwar:TACTICS v2007 over its self!
here is a screen shot of what Hardwar:TACTICS v2007 looks like:

peemonkey:
The S&W 500 is probably just a typo in the S&W500.WPN file... easily fixed!
open it in notepad and change the value from 6 to 5.

EDIT: The MR 500 already has the 5 round setting and the S&W Magnum 44 HAS 6 rounds! -there is no S&W 500 in Hardwar: TACTICS 2007, sorry.

Things like this are very difficult to spot when there are so many weapons, stats, info's and other things to cover in the entire project.
I don't think it is possible to guarantee any bug proof software, so feel free to modify it back over!
After all, the purpose of Hardwar:TACTICS is to make adding more weapons and editing weapons easier!

Enjoy the WAR!

LeetFidle · « **Reply #32 on:** March 28, 2007, 07:03:08 am »

SUcks they are just rescaled interface weapons. $:-\$ $:-\$

and why is this in this section.\ so that the modders wont notice it in this one?

BladeRunner · « **Reply #33 on:** April 17, 2007, 01:26:13 am »

leetfidle:
I have placed it in HERE, because it is an application. (-duh!)
I also chose to put it here because people who are thinkers and are interested in VB programming will appreciate the application for what it is.

People like yourself who simply write it off are not thinkers, just stinkers.

I am uploading a newer version of the exe file (fixed music + gfx loop bug) plus included my gostek (from earlier version HWK 5.5), Hardwar interface and a whole bunch of bots that were also in earlier versions of HWK but were somehow left out of TACTICS!

Enjoy! (uploading as I post this)

Sir Fragsalot · « **Reply #34 on:** April 20, 2007, 08:35:45 pm »

Do you have a version that's not rar? my computer doesn't like rar.

Date Posted: April 19, 2007, 11:12:21 PM

*sigh*... now it's "component blah blah blah or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid".

HELP!!!!!!

X-Rayz · « **Reply #35 on:** April 21, 2007, 02:02:31 am »

Looks nice but I've already got too many realistic mods, and I want to go get some future kind of ones. Good job.

Lol, and it's funny how you make your posts so perfect.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #36 on:** April 30, 2007, 01:55:28 am »

-sir fragshot
I only really use RAR on my system, so I cant see any way around it for you, sorry.

-X-rayz
yep, I quite enjoy the laughs too! -they outweigh the bad stuff by far.

I have just downloaded and updated Soldat to 1.4
I have not had time yet to look into it deeply, tho I have heard that the STUPID FRIKIN "recoil" in the so-called "realistic" mode has been addressed.
(about frikin time! -the last time I fired the Austeyr in full auto mode, my point of aim did not end up frikin skywards!!!)

So I am planning to re-furbish Hardwar:TACTICS to be compatible and take advantage of the current bug fixes for v1.4
Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath as I gotta work too, you know!

Sir Fragsalot · « **Reply #37 on:** May 07, 2007, 09:56:47 pm »

OK, I found some RAR software and unpacked the mod, but it says something about a missing or invalid component when I try to run it.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #38 on:** May 10, 2007, 03:51:22 am »

You need to find that missing file/s on the net and install them (or place em in the c:\windows\system AND-OR c:\windows\system32 folders.

Most people have their system updated either by windows updates OR by other game installs that REQUIRE these common group of files (they do vary enough for me to type all this waffle, and still save effort, but not type a full list of the files that I'm actually waffling about)

Take note of the error and search out the file!
If you are still stuck, post the "missing" file name here so I can see what the error is!

Sir Fragsalot · « **Reply #39 on:** May 11, 2007, 07:03:33 pm »

It's component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies. I, of course, have no frikkin idea what the heck it's talking about.

BladeRunner · « **Reply #40 on:** May 12, 2007, 10:55:23 pm »

ok, I have uploaded MY common dialogue dll files in the form of an rar file. it will extract its self to your c:\windows\system32 folder and all should be well!!!

GO to my main download site to get it!

Sir Fragsalot · « **Reply #41 on:** May 14, 2007, 05:12:45 pm »

And... then I'll be able to play Hardwar?

Xxypher · « **Reply #42 on:** May 26, 2007, 10:24:38 pm »

I don't enjoy this anymore

Sure it has a lot of weps, but it sucks in a way...
Like it replaced all of my sounds/gosteks/guns with these, and I cant seem to get them away, i got rif of this, I re downloaded it, but the sounds and textures are still there from this
Pisses me off
