    LogoSplash is a server addon that will show a logo and play an intro sound to every player joining your server. One of the best things is it has a CSS-like logo positioning and resizing options. All options are optional and logo, intro.

    Maestro has two attached files (LogoSplashV3 and its "Audio" file) to download in his LogoSplashV3 thread in Runegame.com's "Editing&User Creations" forum. Be sure to post feedback and comments there!

    "Why 16 you ask?"
    With so many good entries in Art (11) and Maps (15) and Fiction having only 4 submissions, it was decided to open these categories up to add a sixth winner for an extra prize.

    Also, it was decided to include a "Honorable Mention" placement too. There is no prize here but it was felt the ones mentioned should get an extra "Viking Shout of Appreciation"

    So in no particular order, "The Winners Circles" and the "Honorable Mentions" in each of the three Categories are:

    Art

    • Ragnar Holding Head by Seth Hendrick

  • DM-Sinister by =iNi=Deliverance
  • The judges want to emphasize that these entries as not "better than each other" as if in a (numbered) hierarchy". Why they are presented unranked and in no particular order.

    They are equal winners, just as there are equal prizes.

    The Winners and Honorable Mentions have been put up in the Runeiverse.com Website. In the meantime, you can visit and comment in their subject thread in Runegame.com's "General Discussion" forum link below

    Computer crash, New Computer, Updates and "Happy Thanksgiving" November 22, 2007

    First, "Happy Thanksgiving". Sorry for the delay with the updates. My computer (HP Pavilion 504n P4 2GHz, Intergrated card) crashed back in early September and had been using a loaner from my son. However, I did backup all my important files onto disks, including those for RUNE (of course)just a couple of weeks before it happened. (PC gamer's Mantra: "Backup, Backup, Backup!") Finally replaced it with a new Dell Inspiron 530 Core 2 Duo (2.2Ghz, 1 gig RAM, 320GB HD) with a Nvidia GeForce 8300GS video card that will be swapped for a 8800 asap!. So back in business for better gaming and keep the "News" updated

    Updates:

    Forums Down and back Up May 21- June 14, 2007

    Yes, the forums were down for nearly three weeks while some requested renovations by Rockstar Games and 2K Games were done. What could not be done by Kazi and I, had to wait until Rockstar Games techs were able to perform on the server side.

    I want to thank Rockstar Games for all their expertise and help in getting the final parts done. Again, to Take2Games for their support.

    My heartfelt thanks to the Runegame Community for their patience and understanding

    Argon Invasion Mod v0.91 Updated May 19, 2007 Argon has released an updated version of his "Invasion Gameplay Mod" after fixing some bugs only found while playing in actual server use. This mod requires HOV 1.08 AND you MUST have the VoiceOverSound.uax from the retail RUNE SP game. Argon did not realize HOV did not have this file and assumed All versions had this. There are links in my RuneMods page and in his Runegame.com's Subject thread where to find this important sound file. Other Mods require this too if you have HOV only and want to play Rune Coop, VAS-Mod and any mods or RUNE maps requiring this

For now, those playing that version, the Rune Co-op can be found the "Mods" section.

    Human Head Home Fire and Update April 27, 2007

    From WISC TV Madison Wisconsin: "Firefighters received a call at about 2:30 a.m. regarding flames shooting out of a building located in the 1700 block of Commercial Avenue.

    The multi-use building, which was once a railroad roundhouse, includes warehouses and offices for Apex Property Management, Warren Heating and a software company called Human Head Studios"

    However within four hours, the blaze in the building's back was contained. The "Brain" survived but there was water damage to some equipment. The Office is not habitable but the security allowed registered employees access to the building to retrieve salvageable material.

    Human Head's new office manager has secured them office space back where HH used to be. This is a temporary move until they get things sorted out but at least they are up and running. There were no injuries and, yes, there was insurance. Go to the link below for any more information and to post your own comments: General Discussion Thread: "Human Head Home Burned"

    Wikipedia: "RUNE and Rune:Halls of Valhalla" March 30, 2007

    Yes, RUNE can now be found listed in Wikipedia the free online encyclopedia" under "Catagories: (year) 2000 computer and video games"!!

    Contributions were made by several gamers (including myself, of course). The article includes all platforms, story outline, and technical information. An indepth study of Single Player and Multiplayer gameplay modes. Also an essay detailing the continued popularity of Rune's Multiplayer aspect. Weapons information and a couple of links are also included. I added a little more to expand what has already been written. However, the original writer covered the game's essential points to rouse any potential "Rune" gamer's interest.

    Another Runegamer has included the Multiplayer Expansion Pack Rune: Halls of Valhalla in the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!! It can be found under "Catagories: (year) 2001 computer and video games"

    Again, an indepth essay was written about HOV's differences in Multiplayer gameplay modes from Rune's Multiplayer. Including the changes in combat gameplay and the effect this had upon the community.

    "Winter Doldrums and March Madness Updates" March 29, 2007

    Again, it's been awhile. Winter cold (Global Warming!!) Sickness, and offline business concerns including the "blahs". Upon my honor, this site will be updated more often.

    December 2006 saw Darkwolf (aka "BDC Killzone")completed and released his first Dwarven Treasure Hunt Single Player Mod!! Although RUNE has seen hundreds of MP maps and mods made, only a handful of SP Campaigns have been made Although largely known as a MP Mapper as "BDC Killzone", Darkwolf was inspired by the efforts of past successes by EZKeel ("Nidviller" SP), Fragmeat (Making of an OdinsBlade), Keebma (GoblinGibz) and Haltyr/EvilDick (unfinished SP campaign) to attempt this. To become one of this small, but elite, list of contributors. You can find more about this in this thread and download it from Rune Resource.de

    With the New Year 2007, came news that Tgerr (Ted Gerritsen) was leaving Human Head Studios to seek other fields. This was not news to me but until it was confirmed officially, I did not say anything. The parting was friendly and it does not change Human Head Studios attitude about making a Rune 2 sometime in the future. We all at Runegame.com wish Tgerr good fortune and hope to keep in contact.

    The new Rune Mapping Contest winners were announced later in January. Downloads can be found on BlackOak's Runeworld.org website
    Runegame Productions Group is a group of avid, creative mappers (and more) headed up by Slothious of =iNi= Clan. Other members are dirty~bob, Phox, bRian, Phenom Be sure to check their site out often!

    February began on a sad note with [BK]Melvin's announcement that Thorsten Hamester, also known as [BK]Kobolus, who play Rune in the German Battlekings Clan was murdered in Berlin. Here is the Berliner Morgenpost.de article detailing the account and asking for help. You can also read [BK]Melvin's subject thread Sad News for Friends of [BK]Kobolus here

    A new International Rune Community Comity (IRCC) Site was organized and for those who play in =iNi=Squalls' Runegame Server can go there to download all of his maps, mutators, et.c. used there. He is also becoming another important resource for many of the more popular RUNE/HOV "goodies" you might be missing

    Lastly, February closed with the celebration of -=AVM=-(Alkohol Vernichtungs Maschinen)RuneClan's 6th Birthday!

    March opened with a "Pillaging! Elimination! Conquest! New Tournament!" for Spring by [BS.DK]SorenBjerg

    Then on March 22th, VR48's new Rune Co-op Package! was announced. Although it is not necessary to have Dark's Rune Co-Op mod installed, VR48 thinks it works better with it so recommends using them in game or in RuneEd Co-Op Maps. It should be standalone, and not requiring classes of Coop.u, but he is not exactly sure, because while sub-classing and removing sub-classes constantly, he needs the Community to to try the package out other than than himself.

    The Package contains a host of new weapons including Spears, OrcHammer and more. Others are modifications of existing ones. with New animations to use these in combos. This also includes shields and runes. New monsters with their own special additions. This has prove very popular with quite abit of feedback that you will find through link to the Rune Coop forum. Another updated package was later announced with some new inclusions. Haltyr (aka "EvilDick") has given permission for VR48 (or any mapper) to add VR48'stuff to his own "EvilDick's Coop" to make for a playable mod. All he asks is to let him know and test out himself.

    "Summer Doldrums and Updates" October 3, 2006

    Again, I know it has been awhile since I last updated this site and page. Summer heat and other concerns has left me little time to keep this page updated as it should.

    Since this page was last updated, there have been several important events happening in the Rune Community:

      From The REY Warriors Forum Team comes the announcement of a new 2vs2 Ar Tournament!
      This tournament engages some of the best tag teams of AR from all over the country (And some warriors hailing from Europe) into the most skilled, brutal and exciting of battles. Regardless of clans associations, this tournament puts together those two warriors that fight as one; most of the competitors have endured years of training and practice which should prove rather entertaining for us all.

      There is a new Rune 1.00 Community Website now open called "Rune Library" Developed by a young German 1.00 player, Bloodshark, and four man crew (Ani, Galrath, Salachtin and Zwansy) to serve the needs of the fiercely loyal RUNE 1.00 MP community in a similar way RuneArt.de serves it's community but with 1.00 RuneClan information and upcoming tournaments. Also with articles, downloads and 1.00 gameplay tactical tutorials. Any new 1.00 projects (both theirs and others), "Twisted Artwork" by 1.00 gamers, a gallery of 1.00 "faces" and something quite new: A series of episodic Flash movies called "The "ROL: Runes of our Lives Episodes" starring many 1.00 characters. With one full episode up, and another on the way shortly, it is proving quite popular with everyone!

      Socketboy's new "Rune2.net" website is up with forums. Socketboy, a long standing supporter of RUNE, player and the instigator of now famous "RUNE 2 Petition" drive, has put up a "Rune 2" site to help promote more awareness of how so many want to see this game made.
      Be aware that There IS NO RUNE 2.. YET! "Rune2.net" is ONE avid Runegamer's efforts to make others aware how much we all would like to see this happen!

      Glatzerl and Crew has been working hard to have "Runiversum.net" back up and running. At this time,the Runiversum forums are up and very active. Eventually, it will be back in all it's glory as THE site for the German Rune Community.

      The EditRune Team is currently working on a New Single Player project for RUNE called Shield Maiden. A list of Current Workers, and opennings, is given along with a brief introductory storyline (to be continued). They need more members to help out with this new SP project about a Valkyrie's quest and adventures.

      PREY Several Runegame posters reported finding "RUNE Easter Eggs" in both the PREY Demo and full game after their release in late June.

    "Lost Tower Project" June 8, 2006

    "Lost Tower Project" Team Members have come from all over the world to work on this project. Here is a short list of the main members but there are many other assistants and gamemasters who have been very giving of their time, talents, and efforts to get this as far as it has:

      newUnrealed is LT Director and Coder
      POKRISHKA New Music/HUD (2d textures)
      Hicks is making Sounds
      BieX is creating the DLLs
      Dred is working on weapons models and skinning weapons.
      Mute and Taran are creating the models
      Sythest, BAM and FoX are working on both Model and Map textures.
      Icey and Haltyr are the mappers

    However due to a new job, Haltyr is limited on how much time he can give in making maps. So the call from newUnreal and Icey is out to help with this project:

    "I really need some mapping help, and it have to be someone who is able to make a map, or be great at quick training. Thanks a bunch." --Icey

    So, if you are a mapper. Or want to and a quick learner willing to give some time and help. This is the project for you.

    You can contact newUnreal through losttowergame@hotmail.com to offer help. You can also post in his "Lost Tower Project - We need more mappers" subject thread in Runegame's "Editing&User Creations".

    OR follow the link below to read more about the project at the Council of Valhalla "Lost Tower" Development forums. Be sure to register to post there!


    · "Lost Tower Project"

    Updates March 15, 2006

    I know it has been awhile since I last updated this site and page. Included several new links to Women&Grrl Gamer websites. Why? Because "43% of PC gamers and 35% of console gamers are women" (Source: IDSA) Since this 2002 report was announced, womengamers have increased across the board concerning all forms of video and console gaming. Especially Internet play in recent years with the advent of so many MP and MMORPG.

    The money spent by women on gaming, and on computers, is several billions since gaming first poked it's head up in all these ports. What has been thought traditonal "Guy" games (FPS, Strategy, RPG, Racing et.c) have their "Grrl" players too who are just as cunning, dangerous and deadly.

    If not more so.

    "RuneWelt.de" Jan 27, 2006

    A new RUNE Community,"RuneWelt.de", (that's "Rune World" for all you non German speakers) was established this month and is going strong. Led by KoK ("Kings of Kills")Clan Leader Daddy Cool one, KoK Contract, KoK the hello, KoK Andius and "SOLO" Grafty. Go "Sail over" and guest awhile! I am sure you will find good company!

    sythest1 "Golden" skin Jan 27,2006

    sythest1 just released a new skin in .rar format.

    Haltyr's "Unfinished SP" Intro & Name Released! Jan 17, 2006

    Yes, Haltyr's 20 level "Unfinished SP campaign" now has a Name and Intro!

    Haltyr:

    "Allright, as I promised here is the Intro of REINCARNATION : Curse Of The Bloodstone!

    There are two things you need to know, you need to play this on a minimum resolution of 1024x768 or otherwise some of the story-messages will get out of view. I made them pretty big so they can still be read when playing on 1280x1024 like I do.

    Also, people that try to play it in HOV will not only need the "well known packages" from the singleplayer Rune, they will also need to change bNoMonsters = True to bNoMonsters = False in the Rune.ini.

    Now lean back, have some Mead and enjoy the show!
    More info and any questions can be found in this "Rune Editing & User" Thread.
    You can download the "REINCARNATION : Curse Of The Bloodstone" Intro through this "Rune Resource.de" link

    Rune 2 on Voodoo Extreme Poll! Jan 17, 2006

    From Tgerr:
    "I noticed "Voodoo Extreme" has a poll of the most wanted sequels/updates they'd like to see in production. Rune 2's on that list. Go and vote if you get a minute.

    Sure Will!

    Just scroll down just a bit and look on your "right" to see the Poll. There is also a topic thread Most wanted sequel not in development? in the VE3D Boards to post your views there too.

    RCL Updates Jan 17, 2006

    Sorry for the delay. Been busy with home business.

    RCL Finals!

    Rage vs REY
    Timeperiod: 9th - 22nd of January
    The two most-skilled clans of this tournament will face eachother on a 2 x 30 mins on DM-Thorstadt, DM-Fentox in a 4 vs 4 as in the tradition of RCL 2003.
    Since it is an European clan fighting an American clan, it would not be fair to play either fentox or thorstadt completely on one server. Therefore: DM-Fentox: 15 mins on the EU server; 15 mins on the American server. The same goes for Thorstadt

    3rd Place Match:

      9th - 15th of January 2006 Match for 3rd Place
      WTN vs Gaiscedach
      4 vs 4
      2 x 30 mins
      DM-Fentox, DM-Thorstadt

    Since then an Online Petition has been put up by Socketboy for all interested to see this happen to sign. However it does not stop there. Other strategies are being discussed and can be found here.

    During the period, 5th - 11th December, the 2nd round matches (1st round of the playoffs) will have to be played.
    Biggest difference is that the timelimit = 25 mins and NOT 20 which was the case in the group stage.
    The team that has the highest amount of frags after both maps wins so it is not based on mapwins which was the case in the groupstage!

    2nd Round: Who faces who?

      Punx vs Prophecy
      Team Sacred vs CC
      C2* vs SP
      Ensanguined vs HHFO
      (* = to be determined. Will be updated asap

    Second Round: Numbers 2 vs Numbers 3

  • The matches are playoffs and are played in Team DM 3vs3.
  • 2*25 minutes.
  • Each team picks one map each from the approved map list.
  • The team that has the highest amount of frags after both maps win

      369- 212
    Updated Table Results so far

    In the meantime, Sentinels has been punished and banned from the RCL Tournament. All RCL matches concerning Sentinels are considered invalid as of now.

    Prophecy~Vibes is no longer allowed to play ANY war for ANY clan in the RCL 2005/2006 Tournament.

    Full Story here

    Apparently this concerns a case of a player being found a "double Clanner" (Sentinels and Prophecy) while playing in the Tournament. BUT playing under two different names (Sentinel-Shivan & Prophecy~Vibes), with a false nationality posted by JB of Sentinels in the "RuneHordes.info" but playing under the same IP for both clans.

    It seems Sentinels knew this although Prophecy did not after being confronted and questioned. The ruse was found out by Rage^Saint after reading Rahvin's post in the Sentinels' forums then checked webadmin to find the IP listed for Vibes/Shivan were the same in both Clans.

    The RuneClan Prophecy is not punished as they had no idea this was happening. However any war played with Vibes involved do not have to be replayed. BUT Vibes is disallowed in all tournaments where Prophecy is participating.

    Another clan will be chosen to replace Sentinels. And you were doing so well too!

    Runegame.com's "Links" Page Updated! RuneEd Tutorials Link updated!!

      It has been three long years since the last general "Long House cleaning" by Kazi and the Runegame gang. Now, thanks to Jerry and the Rockstargames webtechs, another Runegame.com page has updated and uploaded.

      Go to "Community" in Runegame.com's "header" then to "Rune Community" to "Links". Or just click onto the Front page sidebar "Links" to visit the updated and improved listings!

      Some Rune sites disappeared to be replaced with new ones. Some RuneClan links became broken as their websites changed urls or disappeared. Active Old RuneClan favorites are still listed or updated with their new urls. New very active Rune Clan sites have emerged since this last cleaning, but neither Kazi nor I were able to include them up til now. This also includes other Rune Resource sites like Rune Art, RuneFiles, KalCorp and many others.

      Included are more sites offering favorite Fan made Maps, Mods, Mutators and more as a central "clearing point" to find these under the proper headings. More Rune/Unreal Scripting Tutorials are listed along with the restored "Ed.RuneEd Tutorial" link in this page.

      In Runegame.com's Frontpage right sidebar, the "RuneEd Tutorials" link will now take you to "menjin's restored RuneEd Tutorials" website.
