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

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.

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.

I added the abiltiy to have multiple sounds placed anywhere in a 2D soundscape. It also allows the user to move the listener around in the soundscape as they would a video game. My greatest ambition for this program was to make it a sound engine for a video game set completely in the dark (hence the name), except for a scanner remniscent of the one from Aliens. However, that's far off from what I have now. For the final version, I just want to have ogg/mp3 file support and a DirectX effects editor for every loaded sound.

The source and some starter sounds are included in this release. The program is probably good for testing surround sound speakers, as well.

This mod will add set items to Oblivion like the ones in games such as Dungeon Siege 2 and Diablo 2: the more of a set you've got equiped, the more bonus effects you receive. See the included document for a complete item and bonus listing.

So far, this mod includes two sets, one designed for Thieves and the other for Mages. I did this mod because I find the items in Oblivion to be a bit bland compared to other RPGs. The two main item factors missing are prefixes and sets. Since prefixes/suffixes are essentially impossible to add, I started this set item mod. Nothing makes me more excited in an RPG than finding that set item loot. And nothing requires more decision than choosing to break a set. But hopefully, my items and bonuses are so unique and powerful (though not godly) that you won't have to go through those decisions. This mod is best suited for new characters.

0.7 - Beta2:
-Added Mage Set Quest with redecorated dungeon and new bosses.
-Added Mage (Brilliant) Set with new robe, gloves and hood texture; spells and powers; and scripted enchantments.
-Added hidden "cheat chest" for testing.
-Added universal set chests.
-Removed some thief set chests.
-Added golden particle effect on chests containing set items.
-Fixed the shadow set NPC follow package. she doesn't follow out of the city now.
-Changed the gauntlets mesh for the thief set.
-Improved forget minor crimes effect. it's now an ability.
-Fixed forget minor crimes effect not ending when hood unequipped. (may need additional hotfix for upgrades?)
-Improved item randomization.
-Added a ton of other new content.

This makes ranged shock damage spells travel at lightning speed. I made this mod because I thought it sucked that the shock spells looked more like a sneeze than a lightning bolt. This mod makes the lightning projectile about six times faster, meaning it can go about 100m in a second. So it's not quite lightning speed, but if it was set any higher, you wouldn't see the bolt at all.

This makes ranged shock damage spells travel at lightning speed. I made this mod because I thought it sucked that the shock spells looked more like a sneeze than a lightning bolt. This mod makes the lightning projectile about six times faster, meaning it can go about 100m in a second. So it's not quite lightning speed, but if it was set any higher, you wouldn't see the bolt at all.

This obviously means that you won't be able to dodge the shock damage bolts. To balance that fact out, I made all shock damage spells cost 20% more magicka. This was preferable to lowering the damage of all ranged shock damage spells in the game, which wouldn't affect other mods with shock spells anyways.

Since the shock damage spells still looked like sneezes, albeit fast sneezes, I also spent some time modifying the visual effects. The bolt effect is based off of Vortex's Shock Animation Change mod, which has a single blue-ish bolt. I made the bolt about eight times longer, though. Additionally, I changed the stock hit shader to have more of the shock texture and fewer, faster particles.

Short Version
• Shock Damage bolt is six times faster
• Shock Damage bolt can't be dodged
• Shock Damage spells cost ~20% more magicka
• Only one bolt that is eight times longer
• Fewer and faster hit particles (slight fps boost on low-end machines)
• Longer, pulsing hit texture

In version 1.1, a vastly updated version of mrflippy's Lightning Strikes mod was included because it is now much prettier with this lightning mod. The mod is included as a separate plugin, so the user can decide whether they want to use it or not. See the included readme for more information on that mod.

This is a very simple app that I coded in one day because I was tired of trying to remember all the connection data rates and doing 6 steps in a calculator to figure out how long it would take to transfer some data. You can select from predefined data rates in the list or select "Custom" to enter your own. Then you enter the amount of data you want to transfer. Remember that a uppercase B means bytes and a lowercase b means bits. The calculator updates the time it will take to transfer in real-time. You can also change the unit of time displayed and copy all of this to the clipboard. It'll look like this: 11KB at 53Kb/s (56K Modem) will take 1.66 Seconds

What the beta testers thought:
"woah. impressive list. good job, person" -Victoria
"wow that shit is dank" -Danky

1.1.10:
-fixed conversion from bytes to bits using 1000 instead of 1024.
-fixed data rate profiles being limited to 50 and anything above that crashing the program on start. there is no limit now.

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.

This is an app I made to address the inability of the Logitech drivers and software to change mouse button settings according to the app that has the focus. As an alternative, you may want to use the Logigamer software. My app only works with the MX510, MX500, MX700, and MX310 right now, but it has the possibility of working with any of the (older) Mouseware mice. (If you have a newer, SetPoint mouse, try uberOptions.) While my app doesn't allow some of the more advanced features like Logigamer, it does have an edge with a different method of notifying the Logitech mouse software drivers of scheme changes (it uses a message system instead of the more common restarting of EM_EXEC). This makes it a little more responsive. I also think my user-interface and scheme settings are easier to use.

The software is split into a monitoring app that sits in the systray and a settings app. The settings app can add programs by browsing or selecting open programs. All the functions of the Mouseware are available to set to buttons, including keystrokes. You can also select to add a program to the games compatibility list for the Logitech software. The monitor app uses about 2-3MB of memory standard, but can be minimized down to 1MB on low system memory. Crashes on startup have been fixed.

changes in 0.7:
-added basic support for the following mice: MX500, MX700, MX310. i have no idea whether or not these mice work, but if they follow the same routines as the MX510, it is probable they will.
-fixed em_exec crashes on startup :D
-fixed em_exec crashes when deleting schemes
-clicking on a scheme in the list will load it as the current scheme (is probably only of use with the monitor app paused)
-updated links in about dialog
-about and debug dialogs appear in the taskbar
-tooltip for the games compat checkbox
-left and right arrows move the pollrate slider by 1 now for anal people like me

Raptor is a program that I had to write for my Object-Oriented Programming class. It was difficult because we had to write it on a Linux server over telnet. It was supposedly a group project, but (and I'm not trying to have too great an ego here) I knew my skills and ambition would exceed that of most of my classmates. Besides, the majority of them were too busy playing World of Warcraft to write a week's worth of code. As the due date grew near and the slacker groups began to scramble to get some code done, I heard that they found my nearly finished program and were floored by my use of colors and grids (courtesy of the ncurses lib) and the fact that it actually worked. At the due date, my program was the only one completed.

The program is meant to simulate five prey and five raptors moving around a 20x20 grid. The raptors are obviously trying to eat the prey, but if they don't feed before 20 turns are up, then they will starve. The prey can see raptors in a 10x10 square around them; raptors can see infinitely horizontally, vertically, and diagonally (like a queen in chess). They all get to move in groups by one square per turn. All the prey on a square are eaten if a raptor lands on that square.

The AI is very simple. Still, for the simplicity of the rules, they do rather well. Thus, the prey will almost always get eaten in the corners. I only had time to make the prey move from multiple raptors, but they can still get sandwiched between two raptors or a raptor and a wall (I was still working on the math to avoid that). Raptors will move to the closest prey that they see and will continue in the direction they last saw a prey if it moves out of sight (unless they see another prey).

Since this program is just a skills demo and not a lot of people have a Linux machine just lying around, I provided a demo video done in DivX VBR. But the source and compiled program are also available. It needs all the standard C libraries as well as ncurses. The program has two debug command line arguments. Use /d to display prey coordinates on the info line. Use /d and /r to do the same thing but for raptors.
