Hunting Unlimited PowerPack was the culmination of a personal project I had started back in 2007 on modding Hunting Unlimited games, and the contributions of some members of the HU Forum community at that time.
This modding adventure started with simple things, such as changing the in-game weapons and animals specifications as well as changing their skins. Then it evolved into creating new in-game weapons and objects (unfortunately the 3D models had to be reused as the games didn't allowed for new 3D models), to fixing game bugs, adding new (and better) sounds and music, redesigned maps and peaking in removing the game (hardcoded) view/render and hunting distance caps - on which I had to go on a side adventure to learn debugging and assembly so I could debug and change the game library files. Oh fun times with IDA Pro!! ;).
I no longer mod, or update the PowerPack! I'm releasing the files here because even today I still get messages about the PowerPack and modding. Hopefully this can be useful for anyone that wants to follow up modding the game.

The installers are done using Inno Setup.
Each PowerPack folder contains the modded content as well as the installer script (setup.iss) and text files. For example, for HU 2010 will be under /HU2010pp.
For the media files used in the installer, such as icons, they are under /inno_files.
Note: HU 2 and HU 3 use proprietary encrypted resources files, as such I'm only providing the PowerPack installation files.
The current version of all PowerPacks is v1.01.
- Hunting Unlimited 2 PowerPack
- Hunting Unlimited 3 PowerPack
- Hunting Unlimited 4 PowerPack
- Hunting Unlimited 2008 PowerPack
- Hunting Unlimited 2009 PowerPack
- Hunting Unlimited 2010 PowerPack

NOTES:
* When you change the graphic options while in the game, the viewing distance will be
reset to the old game limit. To have the increased view, just exit and enter the game.
* When using all the available animal/species slots and setting them all to HIGH,
your game will slow down due to the increased number of generated animals.
The increased number of generated animals on HIGH setting is intended to be used when
selecting few species to hunt.
* When playing in the game mini maps (green valley and africa valley) watch out to not
fall over. These maps don't have "borders". Also, the map doesn't work on mini maps.
