Wierd Hammer error after the last CS:S update

ovidiu — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:47:44 +0000

I was trying to fire up my favorite mapping editor … and WTF is this?

Other errors follow as this:

Missing material ‘editor/wireframe’. Go to Tools | Options | Game Configurations and verify that your game directory is correct.

Model models/editor/spot.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn’t be loaded

And then the editor window closes. I’ve noticed that recently a major update was made on the CounterStrike Source … the latest features were added, those existing only on Beta version. Maybe this was messing with the SDK models and other editor content structure.

Still looking for a possible solution to fix this … I invested a lot of time in the current map.

The new PersonalBrain is pretty cool

Howdy!
Source code of this Java applet is available here.
It is not a masterpiece of a design but it works. Maybe some of you are interested on how it is working and develop it further.

Cheers!

DarkThrone Beta Player (v. 1.0.1)

ovidiu — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:58:16 +0000

I have a little surprise for you. Well this is for those who are still playing DarkThrone Beta and want to get higher especially in these last days of the game.

The player works in the same way as the Gold Player, you run the application inside the web browser, and also you need to have Java plugin installed and trust the applet certificate. To access the player you just open the web browser to http://gold.ovisual.com/beta
At the application startup you need to provide the DarkThrone beta account and password and you are up and running. The interface works in the same way as Gold Player, but is a bit simplified, it has only attack functionality (because who needs a recruiter in beta?!? ).
Mainly you have to specify what exactly you want to attack then you are ready! You are unleashing hell to all the targets in a matter of seconds.
Of course, at the end of each attack don’t forget to deposit the money in the bank.

Enjoy!

Cheers!

Cheers!

DarkThrone GoldPlayer v. 1.0.17

ovidiu — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:03:43 +0000

I’m proud to announce a new release of Darkthrone GoldPlayer version 1.0.17.

This release has lots of bug fixes:
- now you can use authenticated proxy servers
- complete settings are saved on the client’s computer
- attacker scanner have been patched
- applet load optimization

For those who don’t know what this GoldPlayer cand do for you here are some few words. This player is loaded in your web browser by accessing this link. You need Java plugin to start this application.
What it does? It can log into your DarkThrone Gold account and perform the recruit clicks for you, auto repair your fortress if you are attacked, spend your gold if it reach a max value of troops, or armory, or just deposit it in the bank. It also knows to perform spy and attacks missions on targets.
All the communication with the DarkThrone server is done using your computer, so if you want something to be done over night you have to keep the application running.

We’re back!

After a week (a never ending week) while the server was down because of a hardware failure we’re back in action.
The old ovisual.com server needed an new socket 939 motherboard that was really hard to find these days.
I hope this will not happen again soon and sorry for the trouble!

Got any good resources for SCDJWS?

Being bored I’ve decided to crack the Sun Certified Developer for Java Web Services (CX-310-230) exam this summer. But with any rather new exam from Sun the problem is the availability of the good documentation and books.
Because currently there isn’t any study guide available (there is only for the previous exam CX-310-220), I’ve goggled a bit and I’ve found few links (see below), however still isn’t what I’ve been looking for.
If you guys find any goodies on the net please share.
