This was an alternate version of Revealing Bounds that was going to be an intro for Terra Instabile. It's only the first part of the original track that fades into Terra Instabile and is generally considered by me to be complete.

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 replacement intro for UT that I did in 2001. It's small, so it loads quickly on older systems. It has fire and water and guns laying around--what more could you want? There's also an appropriate included music track done by Nightbeat entitled Today All Gods Die.

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.

Marines was my own expansion on the original PWAD (by Mr Pink and Sergeant Daniel G. Snyder) that became something of a mish-mash but amusing nonetheless. Since I was designing the new content with a more evolved Doom port (Legacy), this PWAD pushes the limits in terms of what the engine can handle. As such, it's only confirmed to work with jDoom and Legacy ports.

Marines was my own expansion on the original PWAD (by Mr Pink and Sergeant Daniel G. Snyder) that became something of a mish-mash but amusing nonetheless. Since I was designing the new content with a more evolved Doom port (Legacy), this PWAD pushes the limits in terms of what the engine can handle. As such, it's only confirmed to work with jDoom and Legacy ports.

The game itself tries to emulate more wide-open, realistic environments rather than the confined spaces of Doom 2. Thus the number of enemies firing at the player can be overwhelming at times, making for really challenging gameplay. But this also makes Marines a blast for coop and deathmatch play. In my amatuer modding, some of the sprites and sounds I replaced add to the enjoyment, such as the Mancubus' reply of "Thank you, sir. May I have another?" (Animal House) when hit.

Despite not being complete, this PWAD is still great fun. A config file for Legacy is included, but not required, as is a DeHacked file.

This is the original (non-expansion) version of my RoN resource mod. The purpose of it was to make the rare resources worth fighting for by doubling their usefulness. The bonus effects have been balanced to make all rares equally useful. Merchants also got a stat increase to make them more robust given that the rares are more desireable.

In my senior year of high school, I had set a goal to take over the school's video news program and make it not suck. People rightfully stepped aside as I owned the project. This first episode of the second semester of that year was almost completely edited by me. I had even managed to slip in an NIN track called "Burn" for the intro sequence. This part took an especially long time to do since the school only had an iMac for video editing (god damn you, Macs, with your single mouse buttons!). The actual news portion is pretty bland, but the "entertainment special" is rather funny. It features the poetic stylings of the oft-mentioned Gandalf the Cock. The credit music was not my idea. When I was getting close to completing this episode, people started weighing in with their two cents and coerced me into using "black music". I'm not being particularly racist here, as all the black people did indeed want it. However, as a whole, I'd accomplished my goal of making NNN not suck.

Bitwise Operations is an app I created to assist in programming, particularly when using API function calls. As you may or may not know, many Windows API functions return or have parameters that are merely binary. The first byte might contain a virtual keycode while the next could hold the state of the key modifiers in single bits. Even if you know how to use bitwise operators and what bits hold which information, it's hard to visualize the bits and convert them to the required hexadecimal or decimal number formats. This program allows you to convert between binary, hex, and decimal by allowing you to toggle each bit in 4 bytes or enter the number in the decimal and hex boxes. Then, through the use of my carefully crafted GUI, it's easy to take numbers you've entered and come up with a formula for extracting certain bits from function returns.

In the example screenshot, I have copied the decimal return from a function. Then, since I know that the data I'm looking for is in the third byte only, I show how to use the bitwise in hex to return only that byte and divide out the lower bytes. Then the final box shows the output of 30. There's also an option for using Or bitwise operations, but I haven't found a use for that yet.

The way you code bitwise operations in VB6 is to take the return and binary compare it to the value after the And operator, like this: (ret And &HFF0000)
If you want a bit, series of bits, or byte that is higher than the first bit, then you want to then divide by the lowest bit you have included in the last part, which would be like so: ret = ((ret And &HFF0000) / &H10000)

Hopefully, intermediate to advanced VB programmers like myself will find this program useful. It certainly saves much time doing calculations and conversions.

The original purpose of this mod was to make the rare resources worth fighting for by doubling their usefulness. The bonus effects have been balanced to make all rares equally useful. Merchants also got a stat increase to make them more robust given that the rares are more desireable. In the second version of this mod, I added the rares from the T&P Expansion CTW Campaigns. However, those rares were all missing 3D art. I made my own art for some of them, but others either look like vanilla rares or just an icon.

This scenario originally began in hopes that it could be entered into the RoN Heaven "Napoleonic Era Scenario Design Contest" of Feb. 2004. I spent many days just setting up the scenario based on historical records and maps. Everything was as historically accurate as is possible in RoN. But then I realized that the AI could not handle the scenario nearly effective enough, and I didn't have enough time left in the contest to do my own AI script.

I decided to finish up the scenario for multiplayer. I spent another few days working on the script and order of battle. Then, when the scenario was finally looking complete, I went to test it in multiplayer. But to my dismay, many of the script features that made the singleplayer experience unique didn't work at all in multiplayer. Totally pissed off, I gave up.

I shouldn't have given up, though, because the scenario is still excellent. The version presented here is a revival of the scenario with a reworked script so that maybe a few people can see what could have been.

After you've extracted the script to your scenario directory, you'll notice that there are two scenario files. Austerlitz is the original scenario with the full script and AusterlitzMP is a multiplayer version with all the defunct scripting disabled.

The singleplayer version has no AI. It is basically a sandbox for you to try out the scenario's features. However, you can play against yourself if you like. To switch sides, just click a unit or building controlled by the opposite player.

The multiplayer version will allow you to play against one person (or the AI, but I wouldn't recommend it). The host will be French (Napoleon) and the other player will be Russian (Allies).

See the Readme for more specific details on the features.
