I'm reading up on the workbooks issued to Officer Cadets in the Army Reserve on the topic of Military History that I found by accident (whilst generally studying for the role).

Explain the importance of resupply to both the Australians and Japanese during the Kokoda campaign.  How did each seek to maintain and sustain their combat force?  Comment on the impact of this on the tactical planning by the respective commanders.  What efforts were made to interdict the logistic chain of the opposing force?  Comment on this aspect of the campaign.  Ensure you refer to the Principles of War (particularly with regard to logistics).

Learned a bunch also about the 39th Battalion's operations in Kokoda against the Japanese under the command of Lt. Col. Owen. I am ****ing glad I put down for the Royal Military College.

So, for my senior project, I have to do vocals.  As in, singing.

Tried my hand at an LP yesterday, learned a lot of things doing so which should help make the second better. First is take some cough medecine before hand if you're doing it with a cold, so you don't sound like a tool when you cough out your own name. And the second is to play with the game's sound settings

LP Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone (Demo)

well i collada rigged another one of my ships. as opposed to working the bugs out of actual scripts. seems i did a partial max conversion as it had its smoothing already fixed as if it was converted with a model converter compiled sometime after 2005 (a lot of my old models have bad smoothing simply because i didnt trust the version of pcs2 that was out at the time i converted them).

let me point out how poorly pcs2's autogen features are documented. exporting pof to dae doesnt work very well either, data are ejected, for example every ship i try to extract helpers from is missing one of them out of every group. theres always a thruster or gunpoint missing from every bank as if somone started counting at 1 instead of zero. id fix some of those bugs myself if i could just compile the damn thing. there are some annoyances, like turrets never autogen properly, probibly some obscure naming convention im not adhearing to. i mean it works somewhat, the gunpoint is in the general location of where it should be. exporting helper rotations as normals seems to only somewhat work. guns always have to be rotated to -90 on the x axis for them to point in the right direction, you would think engines need to be rotated to +90, and that assumption would be completely wrong, you need to rotate them to 180 on the x. all x coords will be wrong so if your rotating on the y axis, rotate in the opposite direction than your think you should. side rant aside i got most stuff working so i wont need to save old versions of pof files anymore.

side rant aside i got most stuff working so i wont need to save old versions of pof files anymore. there are still things that absolutely need to be done in pcs2. in a perfect world all id have to do is export my max scene as a dae and compile, all properties bieng filled in in their respective places automagically. and would it hurt to have pcs2 run its moi calculator automatically after import. k im done pcs2 ranting, at least it aint freespace mod manager, or a hex editor (those were the days). i rigged it for my cockpit script as well. all the panels have had overlays added for rtt. i really need to look into a system that uses the new cockpit meathod, though i suspect it would be harder to animate geometry. perhaps just render models at preset spots. i need to come up with a way to disable those submodels most of the time unless a script tells it ok use it. i tried multiple instances of invisible in the texture list (my script should support replacement by texture number but it doesnt seem to work), which would be the optimal solution. what i need is some kind of a $disabled_by_default subsystem property. so another day of accomplishing practically nothing.

I deferred to preventing myself from doing those crazy voice changes that their lead singer does, and therefore, I'm keeping it low for the buildup of the song, and when the second part rolls around, bring in a guest vocalist who happens to be a girl who is a trained vocalist who can blow my voice out of the ****ing water, while I sing backup.

Also, I love Incubus, so apology unnecessary

Worked six days in a row, all closing the restaurant (safe for once), getting home at 1am each time
And now... I have a weekend...
...which is Tuesday and Wednesday

[Nuke]

wasted an entire evening on starcraft 2, no mod progress.

[FlamingCobra]

Made a 100 on my AP Calculus mid-term

Made a 98 on my Technology Engineering & Design exam

Taking the Drafting I exam tomorrow

If I haven't made much progress on my mod, and I don't have much time for it, should I release the contents of it so it can be scrutinized and people can just tell me if it has potential or not, or should I just forget about it?

[QuantumDelta]

Depends on if you can take silly criticism about unfinished projects ;x

[FlamingCobra]

of course!

[FireSpawn]

Corpse Party.......WTF!? 

[LordMelvin]

Sorry, FC, but the stuff you did in your mod is too complex, too simple, the scale is wrong on some parts, the ships are too big, the ships are too small, and of course the enemy fighters are too underpowered except for where they're too overpowered.

I prefer to think of it as a 'Greatest Hits of HLP Criticism'...

Sounds like dear ol' Dekker's "Dodgey Mod"
