Working with P4Connect for Unity

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 00:00:00 +0000

My classmates and I only total to around 20 people that need to touch the depot, but everyone’s distaste towards merging anything (even scripts, text files, you name it) and its inability to gracefully deal with large binaries pushed us away from Git and towards more centralized solutions like Apache SVN and Perforce. Apache SVN is completely free, but we opted to try out Perforce since they released P4Connect to let Unity Free users integrate Perforce with the editor. Perforce integration, which requires Unity Pro + Team License to enable. Integration isn’t entirely necessary since we managed without it when we used Git, but I liked the integration I had when working with UE4, so I put up Perforce as a potential alternative.

Triple Peaks @ #GGJ15 - A Post-Mortem

Thu, 29 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Three items to be found. Two keys to be pressed. One murderer to be unveil. With only a note in hand and nary a plan in mind, can you solve the mystery that has befallen this once peaceful playset? Crack the case and save the day: only in Triple Peaks. If only it were actually that exciting. Let’s break it down: what really happened during Global Game Jam 2015?

GoldQuest - AI Documentation

Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

For my second assessment at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment, I was asked to write a description of the “proposed [AI] simulation” that I was going to undertake. In other words: what’s supposed to happen in my AI tech demo? I think what I’ll shoot for is shoot for one set of logic that will accept parameters for behavior determination.

The goal is simple: two players need to gather the largest amount of gold possible from various pools of gold that are scattered across the map. The player with the largest amount of gold by round end or gold mine exhaustion, whichever comes first. Each player will only be able to hold a certain amount of gold at any given time.

Global Game Jam 2014 - I am H

Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:00:00 +0000

My first participation in Global Game Jam marks my second time working as in a team with the Unity engine. This time proved especially interesting since I got a chance to work with people roughly around my age that had experience and skills to work with. Until then, the majority of any group work had either been on school assignments for general studies or in teams with less than motivated or enthusiastic people.

Update for TF2 Mann vs. Machine Listen Server Script

Wed, 18 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

I should have done this a few days ago, but other projects took precedence. In any case, I did a small overhaul of the listen server setup script for Team Fortress 2’s listen server mode that fixed some bugs and made things a bit more extensible. Poor scripting caused servers to restart between maps while other issues made it difficult to make use of, but hopefully those problems have been solved..

Release of Mann vs. Machine Server Script for Team Fortress 2

Sun, 29 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Today marks the official public release of a small script that I made to ease the pains in setting up a Mann vs. Machine match in Team Fortress 2 without going through Valve’s matchmaking process. I usually host local servers for things, and since the Mann vs. Machine interface doesn’t make such an accommodation, I took it into my own hands to give myself a painless way to do it. The script and relevant instructions are found in its Github repo, mvm-listenserver-script.

Replacing Steam's Message Notification Noise

Mon, 27 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

While Steam’s transition to a newer updater and launcher may bring us closer to a more stable Steam than ever before, it is not without its shortcomings. Users that replace their message notification noises are finding that their changes are being overwritten upon every launch of Steam. While Steam’s prudence in maintaining the consistency of the program files is indeed useful, it is also a pain for anyone looking to introduce custom content. While not a solution, I did make a workaround for myself.

Resetting Windows 7's Volume Mixer

Mon, 19 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

If an application has appears to have sound activity in your volume mixer but isn’t actually heard on the device it’s outputting to, maybe the mixer needs a good nudge. Here’s one thing you can try to get that sound to actually make it all the way to your ears.

What might’ve happened is that though the Volume Mixer might not reflect this, it is muting an application, which means it’ll never make it to your ears. If this is true, then toggling it in the mixer won’t make a bit of difference because it’s essentially stuck this way.

WhatPulse - Track Your Usage!

Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000

WhatPulse is a nifty little application that sits in your system tray or notification tray that keeps track of your mouse and keyboard. Statistics such as mouse movement distance, key press frequency, and total clicks and keys are recorded and publicly displayed on your WhatPulse profile. I should stress that this is in no way a keylogger and simply records statistics about your keyboard and mouse usage, nothing more.

Pros

WhatPulse is cross-platform and is available on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.
