Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Delve deeper into everything!

Don't be a low-res fool, Marshaaaaall! The spaghetti-western cousin of another recently-remastered LucasArts FPS classic jumps back on the saddle for one last ride.

Developer Comment#

The vault.kpf archive includes a brief message from a developer on the remaster in vault/original_tooling_shots/message.txt, lamenting a popular MS-DOS emulator's screenshot functionality.

While I appreciate DOSBox Staging changing to allow for aspect-correct screenshots,
I am really saddened that it doesn't capture the palette as part of the png if the current video mode is indexed.
Also I will confess I wish you still had the option to have the exe screenshotted in the filename, rather than it being image{:04}.png.
I should make issues for those. I miss them dearly, and was extremely confused when I updated DOSBox Staging during development of this.

Unused Vault Material#

Object Types Screenshot#

All of the AutoCAD screenshots in the Vault show it running in Windows 95 at 800x600. In vault/original_tooling_shots/acad/ACAD_Obj_Types_W11.png, however, is an unused screenshot of it running under Windows 11 in 4k resolution, providing a close look at the object palette used by the level designers to place objects into their levels (complete with some occasionally amusing categorization, with some easter egg-related objects like Max simply filed under "Uh... Stuff"!)

1.2.1 (1924)#

Released on July 16th, 2026.

Features:

• In multiplayer, looking around whilst playing as Chief Two Feathers will no longer drain your stamina.
• In multiplayer, player name tags are now only shown when in close proximity to enemies, to prevent exposing players in distant hiding spots. Teammate names can still be seen from any distance.

PC:

• Added a scrollbar to menus which let you pick levels, to fix a bug where you were unable to select custom levels past a certain point.
• Added a console variable called g_showNameTags, which allows you to completely disable player name tags in multiplayer, on your local machine.
