This is another LieroX level but with an original design. It is a really wide-open, expansive level with a lot of destructible trees and vegetation plus two bases on the edges. It's great for mortar-only games. 4 to 8 players are recommended.

This is a program that will take a Motherboard Monitor (definitely works for 5.3.3.0) High/Low log in CSV format, parse it, and output a properly formatted CSV file with only data in individual columns and each reading on a different row, suitable for import into a spreadsheet. This program was used to support a column I did on PC air cooling, found here. Source code is included so you can modify it to suit your needs if necessary. It was made using Windows XP and JDK 1.5.

This modifies the game STALKER so you don't have to eat anymore. Personally, I see no gameplay value in forcing the player to eat every hour or so; it's just an annoyance.

This mod makes the gangs in Liberty City less troublesome by limiting them to only melee weapons. The main reason for this mod is to prevent your cars from being shot up as you drive through gang territories, especially when doing vehicle missions. However, stopping in or walking through gang territories is still dangerous--a swarm of bat-toting mobsters is no picnic.

However, stopping in or walking through gang territories is still dangerous--a swarm of bat-toting mobsters is no picnic.

But to make sure the game isn't over-simplified, I modified many of the gang-related missions to give them their normal firepower during the mission only. The Mafia and Triads will also have pistols before they start hating you.

Snipers is a scenario for Starcraft: Brood War that I started way back in 2002. Because of the general complexity of getting the scenario scripts to function correctly, it took four years of occasional work in bursts to finish.

Snipers is a scenario for Starcraft: Brood War that I started way back in 2002. Because of the general complexity of getting the scenario scripts to function correctly, it took four years of occasional work in bursts to finish. The concept of this scenario is sort of like some of the others I've done where you start with some hero units (this time named for my old friend Quelog and I); however, the hero units are supposed to be something like special operations mercenaries (the reason for the generic title) on a particular surgical mission and thus never build a base persay. All of the mission objectives, briefing, badass hero dialogue, and mission imperatives are done with tons of triggers in the script. The mission objectives are actually rather creative, too. Some have you blowing up stuff; while in others, you get to steal vehicles. Here's an overview of the scenario taken from the Readme:

Snake and Quelog have been dropped into heavily occupied CDD territory. They are elite snipers, with high-powered medium-range rifles, portable lockdown rockets, and the ability to blend into their environment. Snake and Quelog must work together to bring down the CDD forces. Command needs this area thoroughly trashed so ground forces can move on it tomorrow and they will give you a commission on every enemy soldier you kill. But your primary tasks will be demolition, infiltration and seizure of prototype vehicles, and commandeering and using nuclear silos.

Snake:
200hp, Medium armor, .50cal rifle (one shot kill against infantry)

Quelog:
300hp, Light armor, 30.06 rifle (good against light armored infantry)


Note: This version includes a cooperative scenario that you can play with a friend in addition to the original singleplayer scenario.

In a nutshell, this gives all European civs access to the Gatling Gun unit without needing to revolt.

I found that since TAD's release with all the quirky new Asian civs and strategies, the European civs were feeling a bit bland. And since I never revolt because it seems too risky, I thought I could liven them up by enabling the revolution-only Gatling Gun. Besides that, the Gatling gun can also be improved by more technologies and is more effective against light infantry and cavalry. However, it is still weak against artillery, ships, and buildings and is best countered by artillery.

True to the mod's name, this version of the mod features a universal installer, so everyone can use it!


Changes

• Gatling Guns can be built in Industrial Age at the Artillery Foundry by any European civ (except Portugal)
• Gatling Gun portrait art was replaced with custom art (was the Organ Gun)
• Gatling Gun AI prioritizes human targets over buildings now
• Gatling Guns are now upgradable in Imperial Age with the Organ Gun "Imperial Rebaulds" tech
• Gatling Guns can be upgraded with Gunpowder Unit upgrades
• Gatling Guns are now affected by the Engineering School card
• Gatling Guns have more realistic damage bonuses
  • Cavalry from 0.5 to 1.0
  • Light Infantry from 0.5 to 1.5
  • Villagers from 1.0 to 1.5
  • Buildings from 0.5 to 0.25

5/30/08:

• made a universal installer program
  • works with every version of TWC and TAD, modded or no
  • can select to mod all civs or just European ones (default)
• fixed a manual installation bug with the tactics directory
• updated the TAD manual installation to 1.01a
• added a TWC manual installation for 1.04
• removed base damage increase
• added a name for the upgraded Gatling Gun

2/25/08:

• fixed the only known issue with Gatling Gun AI prioritizing building targets
• added Gatling Guns to the Engineering School card

This is a font I made from the Deus Ex 2 in-game font, which was basically just a texture file (first image at left) that the game cuts up into individual characters. I wrote my own program to do the same thing, but get it into a more usable font format. Feel free to use it in whatever you like; however, it only looks good from about 10pt to 18pt due to the small size of the original characters and inaccuracy of converting to a font.

I was always turned off by the Chinese civ because it forced the player to create units in mixed groups (Banner Armies).

So, this mod allows you to train Chinese units individually as with the other civs. In addition, all Home City cards affecting Banner Armies have been modified to affect their respective individual units. The Summer Palace wonder still trains units in Banner Armies, though--I could have changed this, but decided against it.

This is the complete original Deus Ex soundtrack which I have converted to VBR MP3 format. I did this compilation because the official soundtrack is missing a large number of tracks, and some of those that are present are not the same versions from the original game (probably closer to the PS2 versions).

But this isn't just a straight MOD-to-MP3 rip. I have also resampled any noticeably poor quality samples (e.g. hissing, distortions, pops) and arranged the tracks for mostly correct pattern order and also aurally pleasing order. Finally, I recorded the MODs to lossless PCM and then VBR (-V 4) MP3 using Lame. Files are named such that they are in chronological game order.

WRONG! Applications shouldn't store their settings in the registry. It centralizes application-specific data, making the reinstallation, copying, and settings tweaking of applications more cumbersome. For all of my programs, I use these "Windows 3.1 compatibility" functions to read/write settings to a .ini configuration file that can be placed in the directory with a program. They're actually far easier to use than the registry, too, and with minimal drawbacks. Over the years, I've been refining these functions with a wrapper module that makes accessing application settings even easier, which you can download here. It includes the following members:

• ConfigFile
• Class KeyPair
• Function Backup()
• Function Clear()
• Function ClearKey()
• Function ClearSection()
• Function DeleteSection()
• Function ReadFloatKey()
• Function ReadIntKey()
• Function ReadSection()
• Function ReadSectionNames()
• Function ReadStringKey()
• Function RestoreBackup()
• Function WriteKey()
• Function WriteSection()
