well, with the football season winding down, Madden '03 becoming monotonous, me dropping to 5th place in the FootballVille and my Chicago Bears being a complete dissapointment(yet again for the 6th time in 7 years)...i want to jump back in to TFC.

but, i need a spark...something different to my HUD, sounds, sprites etc....anything. any suggestions? i do remember someone mentioning a proggie that enables you to control your mp3s/wave files(similar to winamp) while in game. i tried a search...but, well....i just gave up after searching the 20th page out of 200+ hehe. if anyone rememebers what this is and could help/point me into the right direction...i would appreciate it.

thanks you guys!
rawk on ville....

Sparkies???

It's a pretty neat utility, of course the ville probably completely frowns on it...

Some of the features include the winamp control, ability to monitor how efficently you are bunnyhopping, recolouring your console (any rgb value you want), ability to view players under alias, able to have round timers, and final you are able to modify your gamma.

Of course it is a hook, so here's the warning (taken straight from the readme.txt)

5 - warning
===========

Use this program at your own risk. As a client hook it will be affected by Valve's anticheat when it is implemented. If you get kicked by VAC for using
this hook, do not try again as continued use may result in being banned on all secure servers. This program is not currently detected by HLGuard or
CSGuard but this is no guarantee that they won't add detection for it in the future, though I see no reason for them to do so. This hook may or may not
be legal in your TFC leagues; check with your league administrator.

That said it is legal in most TFC leagues and isn't detected by HLGuard. I've pubbed with it on for about two weeks and haven't had any problems with servers.

[edit]To get this go to #sparky on Gamesnet - the address for the file is posted in the welcome message. Right now my IRC is dead so can someone post the link?[/edit]
