Don't have a car? Have a car and extra seats? Not old enough to drive? The good people at Cheater's Wayside, the hub for UVaLAN 2, have a solution: Their rideshare program is up and running. Visit the page, click on the state (or province .. love those Canadians) from which you're coming, and the page will list others from the area also attending. Then, email them. Beg, bribe, be creative, and just maybe someone will give you a ride. Interested? Rideshare is here. >>Comments Rayn UpdatesSubmitted by: Rayn @ 03:38 AM | Wednesday, June 14, 2000 | (url: )I finally got around to doing script updates.

Or maybe even having to go back to the inventory station and get suited up again? Well now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Freaky has created a script that allows you to run a route and at the press of a button (or two) return to your starting position. Here's a snip: "The script has 2 features, Save and Restore a Player position/armor/pack. So instead of wasting your time on inventory stations and the running for hours on those OOB paths. Just save a position there, practice the path, restore and try again."Other features include: You can get it, along with a couple other nifty scripts, over at http://maniacs.mine.nu/fstat/ >>Comments New HaVoC ModSubmitted by: Ratorasniki @ 11:39 PM | Tuesday, June 13, 2000 | (url: )Yet more mod news, Natedogg sends this along HaVoC 1.5.5 is complete.
