TheModShop » News http://themodshop.net Its your world...Mod it Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:38:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Lack of updates….. http://themodshop.net/lack-of-updates/ http://themodshop.net/lack-of-updates/#comments Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:38:37 +0000 Tracker http://themodshop.net/?p=1621 Ok so you may have noticed that over the past few months there has been a serious lack of updates on the site and the cause of that is simply put life. With all that’s going on I have not had the time to work on any of my sites.

That is why I need everyone’s help. The reason for not posting is that I don’t have time to come up with the content. So what I need you to do is go out and find all the best mods or create your own stuff. Send it into me via the contact us page and it may end up on the site. If you have your own blog post your mod there and send me the link. Its a good way for you to get your site noticed by others ;)

Hopefully I can come up with some new content soon.

But first step, I need to get some tools tested so I know how to make the videos and get everything set and ready to go. Here is what I am currently testing:

Video Recorders:

1. Fraps

2.WeGames recorder

3.Taksi Video capture

4.ZDsoft Game recorder

5.CamStudio

6.Camtasia

7.GameCam

And for each I will be writing a review and making a demo video of some Counter-Strike: Source footage or Team Fortress 2 Footage. Yes I know I could just make Demo’s in both of these games but not all games support Demo record / Playback so seeing as I play a lot of these games I will test using them. If you have any other programs that I should test then please send me a email (zechtech@hotmail.com). I would be glad to do some testing for you. After I do the recording tests, then ill move to editor testing.

Have a great day and I look forward to getting some emails.

CS:S players enjoy.
Wait. What is this? It is a skin toggler. No its not a hack, it is more of a tool.
I find it very useful when going from pubs to scrims.

However a dedicated team of hackers have finally made some progress, the nano 2G can finally use rockbox to some very limited capability from what iv read, Rockbox is an alternate Firmware for you ipod that lets you use it for much more.

They are working hard and hopefully they will make even more progress, Go check them out!

Maybe even download iloader and report back to us on your experience =D. I am currently without a 2G nano so it would be much appreciated if a user could verify this for us.

I have a few hacks/mods in the works so please be a lil’ more patient! As for Tracker I can’t say exactly what he is doing but he is very busy, with what, I have got no clue.

Currently I drive a 1999 Ford F150 with stock everything. Well the stock radio SUCKS.

So I am going to go out and install new speakers in the door and the back panel. Along with a sub and amp behind the seat.

I am also installing a head unit and possibly down the road some other fun stuff.

I am going to start this tomorrow and will take pictures of everything and explain how it was done.

Look for that post very very soon :)

This weekend I am heading to florida for a week and am going to be going to the parks as well as spending some time with family

In this week time the posts will hopefully keep going but they may be a bit late depending on how tired I am when I get back to the hotel to sleep :P

In any event have a good labor day weekend I know I will.
