This is a fictional skirmish set during the Battle of Hurtgen Forest that occurred during November and December 1944.

Although this is a small map, it is so highly detailed and carefully crafted that I believe it comparable to Relic's own professionally-made maps. I started building the map more than three years ago, inspired by the Operation Market Garden map "Best".

This is a fictional skirmish set during the Battle of Hurtgen Forest that occurred during November and December 1944.

Although this is a small map, it is so highly detailed and carefully crafted that I believe it comparable to Relic's own professionally-made maps. I started building the map more than three years ago, inspired by the Operation Market Garden map "Best".

Hurtgen Forest has 11 capturable territory sectors with 5 being munitions and 2 fuel. The limited fuel makes the map mostly geared toward infantry combat. A stream divides the map in half forming a natural defensive line for each player. However, a single road that runs the length of the map does cross the stream, and the stream is passable at every point. Each territory sector (except the roads) has some existing defensive structures: a church, bunkers, trenches, or mere sandbags. There are a lot of trees on this map--it is a forest after-all.

This map also features a realistic passage of time, starting with a foggy morning and progressing through midday, sunset, and night. The map was primarily designed to be played with the Annihilate victory condition but does support Capture Points. Because the AI is slow to start and the map is rather small, using an AI difficulty one level higher than your usual level is also recommended.

This app was born out of my frustration with Servant Salamander's half-assed file list utility that wouldn't traverse subdirectories. I needed a list of files from a directory with over 300 subdirectories, so I sure as hell wasn't going to do each directory individually. Like some applications I've done before, this one has been beefed up more than what I originally required of it and is thus the perfect addition to one's utility program toolbox.


From the documentation:

File Lister is an advanced-user tool for making lists of files that can be worked with in other applications, such as file comparators or batch commands. It can also be used for simply indexing files for sharing or such. It offers the following major features:

• Full-featured, intuitive GUI
• Regular Expression matching (or basic wildcards matching)
• Output format customization
• File hashing
• Subdirectory traversal
• Drag-and-Drop file/directory matching
• Clipboard or file output

1.6:
-added counters to output format with pattern %i
-rewrote output format parser to be pre-compiled for speed improvement
-optimized regex matching for significant speed improvement when using regex
-fixed crash if output file in use by another program
-added option to match full path in regex instead of only filename
-added option to invert matching behavior for regex
-fixed a bug with groupings in filesize pattern
-removed default pattern option from pattern selection menu, added "Default" buttons to some dialogs
-fixed missing use of default options for date, size, and attributes patterns without parameters
-added the option to use regex capturing groups in output format with pattern %v

1.5:
-output format textbox gets focus now after inserting a pattern from the list
-added program options dialog for previous advanced options
-changed some advanced option key names in the config file. users will need to redo them if updating
-fixed buffered output
-efficiency speed improvements; about 15% faster when not hashing
-fixed current directory status bar "kern wiggling" when text length varied
-path selection dialog starts in currently entered path, if available
-added a warning about missing line terminators in the output format
-improved error system and error reporting
-added dialogs for file size, date, attributes, and hash arguments
-added file hash to output format
-removed %u, %v, %w, and %z. they are superseded by new inline arguments.
-most recently used text parameters always moved to top of dropdowns
-added inline filesize, date, and attributes arguments to output format
-fixed error when a % was at the end of an output format string
-fixed %f (File Name), %g (Name Part Only), %h (Extension Part Only), %p (Path), and %e (Relative Path) when outputting directories. in general, directory matches are now treated like files.

Cursor Lock is a utility program that confines the mouse cursor to a selected area on the screen. This is most useful in multi-monitor setups, addressing a common oversight in some applications (mostly games) whereby they allow the mouse cursor to drift into other unwanted screens. In video games, this can also lead to minimizing the game window if the cursor has drifted into another screen and the mouse is clicked accidentally. Cursor Lock can also overcome cursor drifting problems in windowed applications and games.

Features:

• Locking only when focused--requires no special user interaction, nor does it interfere with task switching between screens
• Uses a superior method of capturing the cursor compared to other solutions (i.e. MouseTrap)
• Ability to open one program and lock another allows Cursor Lock to work well with launcher programs
• Can confine the cursor to window borders, in addition to a whole screen
• Customizable hotkeys allow for complete control of locking in any situation
• Alternate locking modes that run in the background for full user control and special circumstances
• Intuitive GUI support program for quick setup of Cursor Lock shortcuts
• Integrated help system for shortcut setup program
• Highly optimized and efficient locking program that uses practically no memory or CPU

2.5.1
=Lock(1.2.1)
-fixed a bug with argument passing where the program executable wasn't given as the first argument

2.5:
=Lock(1.2)
-added user and strict user modes
-added window and window interior lock regions
-code cleanup
-minor bug fixes
=GUI(1.5)
-redesigned layout to be more intuitive
-added settings for the new switches
-added about tab
-added test and self-test functions

2.11:
=GUI(1.21)
-fixed a rare bug that occured when creating shortcuts to some programs with invalid filename characters in their program name

2.1:
=Lock(1.1)
-Optimized the polling code to reduce the CPU usage to inpercievably small amounts while the program to lock still has focus
    -at least 10x less CPU

2.0:
=GUI(1.2)
-removed the lock code and set shortcut targets to the new lock app
-made sure any shortcut arguments with spaces have quotes around them. \" escapes
-added the /s switch
-removed memory minimize (/m) switch, since the new lock app doesn't support it
=Lock(1.0)
-initial release - complete C++ rewrite of the command-line driven lock monitor

1.1:
-added the /s argument, which locks the cursor to the current screen

1.0:
-added hotkeys for toggling lock and exiting the lock program; should work with most keys except F10, Tab, and PrintScreen. Non-standard US keys will probably appear as a number.
-added arguments parameter for opening programs.
-added lock program parameter, allows for opening a program and locking another and locking without opening.
-added hotkey override parameter.
-better checking for valid text parameters.
-better log formatting for time.
-added help text for new elements

I made this simple app as a replacement to using the blank screensaver when I'm leaving the computer (usually for the night). Instead of the monitor(s) eventually going to standby after a certain idle time, they'll go immediately when you run this program. This saves power (since I know I won't be back for awhile) and keeps the backlight glow from disturbing my sleep. When I say "simple app", I mean really simple, like 1 line of code simple. It takes a single function call to perform, but yet Microsoft couldn't be bothered to include this anywhere in Windows' interface. It actually took me more time to make the icon than to do the code.

Tip: If you put a shortcut to this program in your Start Menu somewhere, you can set the "Shortcut key" to whatever hotkey you want and use that to put the monitor(s) into standby.

1.1:

-GetPrivateProfileString, MSDN Library (Jan 2006)

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()

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.
