Dell XCD 35 touch screen gaming review

2011-07-21T10:58:00.003+05:30

For those of you who are wondering if they should purchase the Dell xcd 35. Here's a small post on the problems of the handset. I've used quite a few touch phones, of nokia, lg and samsung and I must say I am very disappointed with the touch screen of Dell, it simply doesn't deliver quality performance. I struggled to play angry birds on it. Apart from the touch screen there is also a problem with the earphone jack, it keeps popping out a lot. I've spoken to a few other people and they too complained about the same. It's weird that Dell didn't put enough effort to make quality handsets.

I must say the Dell XCD 35 is a big no, when there are much better options available in the market at almost the same price

Splitscreen gameplay vs Need For Speed gameplay - Start was good in Splitscreen

2010-12-25T12:25:00.000+05:30

Split screen is little more attractive with its visual effects. Need for speed on the other hand is going on its own road. Split screen has few new ideas put in it. But need for speed is just trying to go by its name. And the start must be fast to be attractive.

The problem with NFS is the start is longer than what we want to play. If I start playing now, the old cars I play till I reach the new ones is almost like equal. I don't want to spend at least a day on the old cars. At max I can spend an hour or two at most. This is key.

NFS Most Wanted was so crazy to play because, he started with BMW M3. So the craze was pulling towards the end. There must be something which keeps the gamer on the road at the beginning and when he finishes a 4-5 hour of the gameplay, he is on his own interest to play another week or month. That's how it should be.

2010-12-02T20:04:00.001+05:30

You wont get anything better than this. Show me a high end better than this and you gonna buy it for me.

12 MB cache, I can only guess Intel is making such processors. Off course they go testing much better for making those for market :):).

Processor: Core i7 980X 3.33GHZ, 12MB Quad core Processor. I dream handling it, playing on it, at least for now.

Alienware High performance Liquid Cooling - Good, Nice

Dell Studio XPS 16 with Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz Priced Rs.55,900 Online

2010-12-02T19:51:00.000+05:30

Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz/ 1066 FSB/ 3MB Cache)
Operating System: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
Memory: 4GB (2 X 2GB) Dual Channel 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
Hard Disk Drive: 320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
Display: Obsidian Black 15.6" 1080p WUXGA 1920x1080 WLED FULL HD 2MP cam

Spending 56k, getting a Full HD for 16 inch screen is for sure useless I guess. Desktop monitor with 20 inch screen and HD is looking more than good to me. So for this FULL HD resolution to look normal I guess the minimum screen size required is 32 inch. Or get yourself blurred vision trying to separate the pixel in the screen.

Dell Inspiron 14R Laptop with Core i5-460M 2.53GHz up to 2.8GHz Priced Rs.36,400 Online

Hard Drive:
320GB 5400RPM Hard Drive

Additional advantage of Microsoft Office Starter 2010.

14 inch display is small enough to negotiate any effect in super cool movies. And why have HD in such a small screen. Nope.

I wont recommend this lappy.

Display: 14.0 Widescreen HD WLED Glossy Display with TrueLife™ (1366x768)

14 inch is small, but good for normal compact laptop. But paying almost Rs. 30,000, not a considerable option as the screen is the most impressive feature of a laptop. Even for mobile phones. What I consider the most important is the size of the screen, whether it may be Notebook, Netbook, Internet Tablet, Cell phone, Desktop, Screen size is the top most for me.

Display:

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3D Option Interview with Studio Head Mark

2010-12-02T16:08:00.001+05:30

About Call of Duty Black Ops 3D. As said in the video, the environment creation is what is to be taken into consideration only after which the 3D option could be successful. What is the advantage in 2D is, you hardly focus on the surroundings while playing the game. Here if you are playing the game in 3D enabled TV, there is no need to focus separately, all you need to do is play and you will be seeing the each detail focussed.

Or the other way can also can hold good I guess!

First Look at Age of Empires and Counter Strike

2010-09-08T16:34:00.000+05:30

I have seen people who said "Age of Empires - aaahh enough man" and "Counter Strike - childs play"

There is no need to mention that the most active games for an year at least in the great LANs around the world are Counter Strike and Age of Empires.

The graphics of Counter Strike 1.6 are worst to compare with Counter Strike Source. But what matters is game play right.

Milli second faster and Milli meter more accurate

2010-09-08T16:24:00.000+05:30

These what matter when the competition is too intense. I don't think competition is so intense in gaming yet. But definitely the developer must take into consideration the gamers emotions.

Coming to the wireless consoles, if i am playing say prince of persia, I don't want to hang in at a scene where I keep on trying the controller to get the subject to the accurate point, its just waste of time and I can feel the pain in my muscles to make it.

Playstation Wireless What the gamers need now is accuracy and complexity

2010-09-08T16:18:00.000+05:30

New features are cool and are appreciated greatly. What is needed now is accuracy. No one wants to play a wireless console if its not accurate. I never think is Sony takes any chances in this context. But what wins is which is a milli second faster and a mili meter more accurate.

I am going to write a post on the last sentence above. Wireless gaming needs much more time before it reaches heights. I have heard many saying that they feel better with keyboard than a joystick. And the same will hold good for the wireless control devices too.

The more complex the controls are the more addicting games are. One thing should be said here, sleeping pill can be used to avoid sleep too. Yeah! the more bizarre the game is more addicting it is. No one can eat a kilogram of sweet right.

Age of Empires 2 TC AI Startup and Code Help- AI Creation

This link gives you a Enhanced AI Editor for AOC 2 TC. http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/eaie

All you need to do have these files in the AI folder in the Age of Empires root folder, doesn't matter whether they are filled or empty. So create them now and worry later about filling them.

For example, TemperD is an AI, you need to have TemperD.ai and TemperD.per in the AI folder. Then you can put as many sub folders as you need and give the information in TemperD.per file.

Age of Empires 2 TC AI Algorithm Writing and Strategy Making - AI Creation

2010-09-08T15:41:00.000+05:30

Writing an AI in age of empires is very simple if you are a novice programmer of any language viz C, C++ or JAVA.

First thing in writing a program is making an algorithm. Write the algorithm perfectly and you can make the program much simpler to look and execute. And writing an algorithm for Age of Empires, the game which you might have played for ages is much more simpler. Your strategy itself is your algorithm.

I will try to explain my algorithm or my strategy. I do the things I wrote below,

First of all, once the game starts, you create 4 villagers.
Build a house with a villager or two.
Then you make the three idle villagers collect the food.
The next thing is making the scout explore.
.....
..

These are the few things you need to write down before you write the AI.

The following code gives you more information on my AI TemperD.

(defrule

(population > 2)

(can-build house)

(build house)

)

(defrule

(unit-type-count-total villager < 26)

(train villager)

)

(defrule

(not(can-train villager))

(research ri-loom)

)

(defrule

(building-type-count-total barracks == 0)

(current-age == feudal-age)

(can-build barracks)

(build barracks)

)

(load "TemperD/TemperD-Resources")

(load "TemperD/TemperD-Strat")

(load "TemperD/TemperD-War")

(load "TemperD/TemperD-Research")

(defrule

(unit-type-count-total villager > 25)

(can-research feudal-age)

(research feudal-age)

)

(defrule

(can-research castle-age)

(research castle-age)

)

(defrule

(current-age == feudal-age)

(unit-type-count-total villager < 108)

(train villager)

)

Games like Mafia II should support Multiplayer Online Gameplay

2010-09-03T14:13:00.000+05:30

Its been good with GTA 4 that it supports multiplayer. Similarly, its good to have a Multiplayer Game play for Mafia II.

Multiplayer gaming attracts more gamers than single player games. One of the reason being interaction between the gamers. Secondly the LAN areas. Gamers in institutions and other localized communities, they tend to play with their friends, rather than themselves and friends promote them to play between themselves rather than playing alone in a single player game in a single room in a hostel. The later situation is not at all desirable.

Though the first situation itself is not desirable in the educational institutions, to a limit is always good. I mean the gaming.

How is Counter Strike in NITs and IITs going on

2010-09-01T23:10:00.000+05:30

I had an idea initially that I make a comprehensive Stats (Psychostats) and run the website for all the NITians and IITians. But because of financial matter I have delayed it and have some more ideas too to be fulfilled later on.

Mean while if any one can finish it now, I would be happy. And I don't take it negatively, because good is good even if a bad thought does it.

I will reveal more of my ideas later on...

Enough of Ploygons in Game Graphics to all the Developers - Ubisoft Positive

2010-09-01T22:56:00.000+05:30

If I want to play a new game,

Buy a Game DVD $50, Buy new PC if needs upgrade $xxx. Spend so much on online game service. Spend on Consoles. Spend on console controllers. PC mice, keyboards. Spend some 1000s. Spend time energy 10 hours a day, and what do the gamers get finally a 6/10 game on gamespot.

Ok, I saw the reviews and bought a game. What now, samething. Best of worst. Where is the punch!!!

This post is for developers because, I see polygons on the river banks GTA, on the mountain hills NFS, on the something something on something something.

He I have a positive feeling on Ubisoft. Atleast they finish the wall well.

What all the gamers can see for is NFS vs FIFA soundtrack wars

2010-09-01T22:48:00.000+05:30

"Gaming is long gone, the fire. All that left is wars between the sound tracks the games has.

NFS, FIFA say these words and I can see the fire in my friends face when they say "Come lets fight"

But the new versions are not as good as their name. Talk about graphics and they rock. FIFA released buy new PC. NFS released buy new graphic card. Something else releases buy new processor.

Go on buying things and keep giving the reviews on gamespot 6/10, 5/10 or may be not enough energy to review too."

Gamers life is being played with.

Games are losing the core point - one of the hundrends in an year

2010-09-01T22:42:00.000+05:30

There are 100s of games released every year world wide. How many are surviving! Hardly few. For some outline, you can go to Google Trends and check it out there, there are only few keywords which stay high in the graph, others just go 'slow' and many of them 'low'.

Ask any of ourselves, what's hot this year! Assasins Creed, NFS, FIFA, Resident Evil, nice, good number of games but I know this sounds like an year old or may be 5 years old. You know why right.

I was searching for some videos on Youtube and I can see a video with the name NFS vs FIFA sound track wars

Today and the whole day I was trying to make an app, GamingLAN Live, as it can be called. Did I succeed, Yes No Yes No. That's how the results go on. I go for some third party app which can solve the purpose. But if it can solve the purpose, why isn't it doing by itself! There comes the problem.

Whats the big difference between Facebook updates, Twitter updates and Google Buzz. There is not much difference in the idea. This thought is killing me once and making me elite the other time.

An idea should be and must be the most suitable no compromise kind of thing to achieve success or the purpose atleast.

I cannot reveal how I am trying to design the app, but I am, I had tried to do it with PHP and AJAX with lots of failures. I need to spend a month to make it I guess. I cannot do that I know. So I leave it for now.

Sorry to all the multiplayer gamers online. I am not able to give you Krishna Astahmi Gift.

Nokia N97 Touch Games Top Games

2010-08-28T18:56:00.001+05:30

1. Farm Frenzy - Strategy
2. Solitaire - Card
3. Cube Touch - Board
4. Diamond Island - Puzzle

These are considerably good games which can be good to kill some time with out any soft feelings. Farm Frenzy is a cool strategic game which
I can play for hours along. Off course, I am huge fan of Age of Empires. You can find a quater of the posts on AOE itself. I am thinking of writing few more posts, once the great player gc path finishes his new AI. I writing one too.

Any ways, if you like AOE, and if you can play AOE for days, you can play Farm Frenzy for hours and may be days, if you connect your N97 to the Power Adapter.

Diamond Island, not too bad if you are a core puzzle addict. Cube touch and solitaire are games you can see where ever you go and in which ever platform you want. So not much on the middle ones but good ones.

Nokia N97 Accelerometer Based Games

2010-08-28T18:27:00.001+05:30

1. ASquadron or the Armageddon Squadron
2. Labyrinth Lite
3. WaveBlazer
4. R Thunder or Raging Thunder
by Polarbit

These are few games which are not less than atleast exciting to play in the device, Nokia N97. The games RThunder and WaveBlazer are
equally exciting or equally boring to play based on your taste.

But Armageddon Squadron is a little different to the former discussed in the dimensional view with this game capable of controlling the third dimension. So the game definitely is 3d.

If you are bored of playing these three games, which are not exciting to play longer than 10 minutes max, you can go to the fourth and the classic hit, Labyrinth Lite. This game, if you don't like the earlier 3, is definitely attractive to you. Even if you are bored for a day or two, you will play it the third day.

Best part of the four is that, all the four are Free to download from the Ovi Store. Which by itself is a free application for Nokia S60 Phones to download other stuff.

Definitely, they are trying hard to make the Nokia N97 users busy in Ovi Store. 'They' here refers to those who ever are busy building apps for Ovi Store.

Apple iPad not a great Gadget to talk about here in Gaming LAN

2010-04-03T21:19:00.000+05:30

Apple iPad, yeah a very nice Gadget to get your hands on. But if you gets your hands on it, it wont have any support against the gravity. What I mean is, its good to see others using it and not so great to use ourselves. The basic reason is that its not a mobile to put it in the pocket nor a laptop to keep both your hands on.

The main topic I was talking about is that the gaming experience is not as great as it can be discussed about. It has a few nice games, ones I saw in NDTV Profit just now is the Real Racing HD. And I dont think it is a game which is so cool to play daily. It a good experience and it is not addictive. A true gaming is an addiction, thats how the publishers earn.

Any ways the gadget is not released to play games in it. What it is, is as good as it can be, and I cannot say that it is lacking any features.

After all its good as a Mobile Phone (Naah), Laptop(Na Naah), Media Player(Yeah), Netbook(Oh Yeah), iBook(Absolute Yeah).

You can get more info about the Apple iPad at Wikipedia. But the original iPad page is at Apple iPad.

Nokia N97 and Nokia 5800 Mobile Multiplayer Gaming - Experience

2010-03-18T22:44:00.001+05:30

It is a very good experience to play the Mobile Multiplayer games in Handsets like Nokia N97 and 5800 with many features like the accelerometer.

Games in many catageories like Action, Arcade and Racing in the Ovi Store are great multiplayer games. Good to have an experience to play games multiplayer wireless sitting in an office canteen.

Lets hope mobile multiplayer games get to the top someday like the console games

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Too cool to listen

2010-03-17T11:44:00.001+05:30

The title suits the storyline so perfectly that icannot express how cool it is to listen.

Who ever had played the game might have forgot atleast one sand tank in his journey to reach his destination. This one course of action would change the complete storyline and lets see how it would go in the game.

Apart from exciting games like NFS and other FPS games, the series of Prince of Persia is so different that you cannot take your hands off the mouse while in the game.

Lets see how it would be.

Happy Ugadi for all the Gamers who understand Ugadi

2010-03-16T12:30:00.001+05:30

This is for all those gamers who understand the word Ugadi. Which means the day when the Yuga started. Means the birthday of that Yuga as far as I understand and I guess I am not wrong.

And the special thing about Ugadi is that you have to take a recipe which is a combination of six different tastes which signifies different phases in life. In the same way you will have different phases in the games you play too. Never be depressed for a lose a win is never far away, just you need to walk a little longer if you take a long route.

I wish all the gamers a happy Ugadi. And I wish you all go with great confidence in your gaming for the upcoming games and for the games you are following.

IPL T20 Mobile Symbian Applications for Easy Scores, Sceduled Fixtures and Results

2010-03-16T12:17:00.001+05:30

Firstly for Nokia Mobiles there is an application in Ovi Store for Euro 2. All I am talking here is about a free applications and how can it design be.

The ESPN Cricinfo Mobile application gives a great bunch of topics and information updated. This would be very useful for any regular cricket follower.

In the very similar kind, a Symbian Mobile Application for IPL T20 is in great demand. That would provide a good number of options like schedule, scores and results including the commentry and gallery as the ESPN Cricinfo application has.

IPL T20 is followed by great number of fans in India and abroad. Most of these viewers are busy working in their offices when the matches go live in TV. Hence there is a great demand for an application which provides all the information which is needed to enjoy the match on mobile. With a gallery included it will be a very successful application for mobile phones.

And the application if comes with games and guesses included in it. It can be a good revenue generator for the creator of the IPL T20 mobile application. Ball by ball commentry and gallery are to be focussed on and designed well and thats all it needs.

This applications look can be exactly same as that of television where instead of the video, the applications gives an image of that ball and the score update left bottom and a bottom bar for statistics.

Enough of noise and all I am waiting for now is for a similar application where I can spend some time on, as TV is far away solution.

A post after 100 days halt in blogging Gaming LAN

2010-03-01T22:39:00.000+05:30

I have joined a company and the routine reason 'out of time' is the cause of the halt. I may need to wait few more days to get more updates from around to post next blog posts. I will end this post with out any info on games and all, but I will try to thank a game again. Its CS1.6.

Gooti-Billa Goes in to PlayStation - Sony's addition Desi Adda

2009-11-20T19:48:00.000+05:30

Its another supporting pillar for the Indian Gaming Industry. Sony after the Hanuman game, now adding the Desi Adda for the console which includes many games played in the villages like Gooti-Billa, Puli-Meka, Pachisi etc.

This is a nice move by Sony to encourage the village children too to participate in the console gaming world. It would be still better to launch few multiplayer games from the Indian Core.

As I see it, the gaming industry in India is going to be most competitive environment comparing it to other industries. Indian mind set is so, that if one of the thoughts is put into a typical Indian mind, it takes is spread in the circle very fast. Also, multiplayer games are most commonly played by many students in the institutions throughout India.

In this particular context, expecting a multi player game with story line from the Indian base is going to attract Indian gamers a lot. Of course it should be made with utmost care, as the view point of the gamers, if went negative a bit would result in a big a failure of the release.

Some game with good care some good story line with good graphics, that's all the gamers need to feed in this situation.

Fix - Could not establish connection to Steam servers - Use +ip HLDS command line

2009-11-18T12:07:00.000+05:30

If you are here, you have Steam and you want to set up a Dedicated Server. You can install a Dedicated server using the Dedicated Server in Steam installed via steam or separately using HLDS update tool.

To know how to install dedicated server using HLDS Update Tool, view this post on Installing HLDS. Once you install it, you can run the dedicated server using the HLDS.exe. But you may get this error saying,

Could not establish connection to Steam servers

This error occurs if your network IP is used in creating the dedicated server. For using you IP address from the ISP, you need to manually add it in the parameters. If you know how to insert +ip parameters, you can do it directly, else, see the explanation below.

For fixing this error, you need to give some parameters to the HLDS while running it. To do this, you should first create a shortcut to the HLDS.exe. Right click the shortcut and go to Properties. In the properties window, you will see a text box with the name Target. This box should be edited such that those parameters will be executed while running the application. The following examples lets you understand the commands and parameters,

"C:\Program Files\Valve\HLServer\hlds.exe" -game cstrike +map de_dust2 -console +port 27019 +hostname "Counter Strike 1.6" +sv_lan 0 +ip xx.xx.xx.xx

This is how the target should be set. Give IP and the error must be fixed. If you want to know your IP, just go to who.is and the website displays you the IP of your computer. Make sure you are not using local IP address.

Optional parameters like -console, can also be added in this target command.

Installing HL Dedicated Server using HLDS Update tool without Steam account

2009-11-18T11:55:00.000+05:30

The installation of HL Server through HLDS Update tool can be done without using a steam account. Download the HLDS Update Tool from official Steampowered website. Then install the HLDS Update Tool, this will create a folder names HL Server in the directory specified. Then you can just use command line in the Command Prompt or the command parameters in the created shortcut of the HLDS Update Tool to install the games.

These are the parameters,

-command update (necessary)
-game cstrike | dod | tfc | valve | Counter-Strike Source
-dir c:\hlserver | d:\hlserver | e:\HLDS

So the whole command appears like this in the command prompt,

>HLDSUpdateTool.exe -command update -game cstrike -dir e:\HLDS

You can install it in as many directories as you wish. Also, you can install each mod in each folder of your wish. It will download the mod directly from the internet server. The total download size will be around 200 MB. Giving your Steam username and password is optional.

Once you install the server, you can start the dedicated server from the HLDS.exe. For this HLDS.exe too, you need to give some parameters to make it live with steam.

Most Economical Multiplayer Gaming - BSNL/Airtel Games on Demand - Rs. 100/- Per Month

2009-11-15T16:30:00.001+05:30

Firstly, let me make it clear,

Airtel Games on Demand service, as I understand it from the official website, is only offering you one plan, that is Rs. 199/- per month. And the BSNL Games on Demand with the same Indiagames as the partner is offering 2 plans. One would feature 200 games with Rs.100/- monthly subscription and the second is Rs. 200/- per month, which would offer you all the 300 games and more adding to download and play.

So this makes it most economical gaming service you can get. You are just paying Rs. 200/- say, and you get full access to all the games with no downloading charges. If you are listening to this for the first time, you may think that the games might be published by either BSNL or Indiagames. But it is not like that, I will list some games which you can download and play through the GoD player of the service,

Need For Speed Most Wanted
Need For Speed Carbon
Need For Speed Underground
Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors Expansion (AOC)
Age of Empires 2 The Age of Kings (AOK)
Age of Mythology (AOM)
BattleField 2
BattleField 1942
Medal of Honour Allied Assault
Project IGI 2 Covert Strike
Commandos Strike Force
FIFA 07
Brain Lara Cricket 2005

But it takes little more to make every one say, "Games on Demand Rocks!!". Thanks to BSNL and Airtel, especially Indiagames, Gaming Scenario in India is going to take its branches from these two service providers, while the roots are already existing.

Gaminglan's MatchUP - A multiplayer gamer page to engage matches

2009-11-05T23:28:00.000+05:30

been trying since a month from now to develop a nice page for multiplayer gamers to engage themselves in matches. There are lot of other websites or Hamachi to engage matches, but I don't want this Gaminglan's MatchUP to be a client application, I want it to be a web interface.

So on the whole, Gaminglan's MatchUP should be a webpage with no registration, but users can if they want to, and is accessible to all. Any one can open gates to their games and other will follow them in their path. Registered users get advantage of reliability over the guests. The webpage should have links to all the game stats and that have been played by the users and there must be user ratings, the game viz. I don't want this page to interact in any manner with the game or the clients PC, but I want it to interact with gamer himself to the greatest possible.

I have been learning PHP to design pages. This looks crazy, but I want to know PHP as it is a very basic webpage building language and it has a lot of time remaining in the interent, a decade more at least I guess.

With the PHP knowledge, I have tried to make a chat page where multiplayer gamers can chat between themselves. This is a very basic version of that complex page. Now, as I am waiting for Call Letter from a company I am free. But once I get in to Job, I guess it would be hard for me to find some free time, but I can put some one writing the page for me, as I have funds for this then.

Any ways, I want to make multiplayer gaming as simplest as possible for any one on the Internet. But me doing alone all that is really hard. I guess I can find some great friends who are interested in Blogging and Gaming at the same time in the company I join. Once I find a nice partner, I wont be feeling tired I guess.

The chat page I have created is here and the forums are here.

Steam Accepts only 'Verified PayPal' Accounts - Buy Games on Steam Store

2009-11-05T13:41:00.000+05:30

There were number of discussions both on steam forums and off steam forums about the usage of PayPal and Credit Cards to buy games on Steam. Some say 'Whats the use of PayPal if it is to be verified with Credit Card again.'. I don't know whats the use of it, but PayPal needs to be verified before you can buy games on Steam with PayPal. Else, the PayPal returns the error message something like this, 'Your seller needs instant payments, use Credit Card to very you account to perform instant payments.'

Apart from this, I am not sure whether it accepts payments from verified accounts with bank accounts.

BSNL calls and asks to check out the Games On Demand for a one month trail

2009-11-05T11:18:00.000+05:30

Gaming On Demand is a service offered by BSNL in partnership with IndiaGames. This GOD Service is for BroadBand users. In this service, you can play games via broadband. The data transfer for the games you play wont be counted into your regular data transfer. And understood from the website GoD, the data transfer for Games is unlimited. Make sure it is before you take it for granted.

The plans are like this,

Rs 100 per month for 167 games
Rs 200 per month for 300 games (All games)

And the website says, new games are added every week.

So, coming to the games, Age of Empires The Conquerors is included, thats a good news for me, secondly Counter Strike 1.6 is not included in the games list. This is very bad new for the same me. But you can see the tab saying CS Servers, in that page, I can see some servers with 59.xxx and 203.xxx, looks little confusing.

Is it that the Counter Strike game connected to those servers wont be counted or is it that they are just giving those servers and it will be counted to the regular Broadband? This what I need to clarify.

Now to conclude, no matter how many times I play the game, I can download the games officially, its a very good feature. Thanks to BSNL. I look forward to make this Gaminglan more closer community to the BSNL GoD.

In the Age of Empires The Conquerors, the Siege Ram and other Rams have attack bonus vs other Siege units. You can check it in any game, the Siege Rams give up to 68 attack to any siege weapon viz the Siege Rams, the Onagers, the Scorpions, the Bombard Cannons and the Trebuchets. This can be taken as an advantage when the enemy is using ranged unit combos with out infantry or cavalry included. The Rams can go straight forward towards the Trebuchet surrounded by archers and can give 3 blows to crush the Treb down.

Generally, to counter a group of 50 heavy scorpions or more is a difficult task. But if you are playing Persians, you have an advantage as War Elephants can easily counter the Scorpions. But if you are playing with any other civilization, you need to think a while to decide what combination to use. Here the Siege Rams come handy. Just garrison some pikemen in the Rams and take them straight inside the Scorpions cover area. Each blow from Siege Ram crushes one Scorpions if its not Celt Heavy Scorpion.

Also, when you are playing with mongols, you can easily do the above trick as the Mongol SiegeRams, fully loaded with Pikemen can move faster than a Celt Champion. So, there is no stopping for infantry. Just go on in to the core of scorpions and crush each scorpion with single blow from Rams. Also, take care of the Rams as they only attack on giving a command, irrespective of whether they are set to aggressive or defensive stance.

Halberdier has 66 attack bonus against War Elephants - AOC Tips

2009-11-03T22:13:00.000+05:30

AOC is such a game where everything is set to a balance, no one unit has monopoly in AOC. If it were to be such a case, then the game just revolves around that unit with number of units created by a player. But its not the case. Each and every unit has some strength and weakness.

Elite War Elephant has 620 Hit Points to be a unique unit with highest hit points in the whole Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors. Just 5 of these units can crush down 30 champions, 15 paladins, 40 Hussars of Mongols meaning the Hussars of highest grade and many more archers. That is huge power. But when you play Persians, beware there are Halberdiers too in the game. Just 12 Halberdiers can crush down these 5 War Elephants. This is because each Halberdier causes 66 damage to an elephant. This is one of the huge bonus attacks the units have in AOC, after Rams. Even though the Halberdier's 2/3rds attack is inaccurate, 12 are enough to nutralize 5 big units.

The Aztecs vs the Byzantines in AOC

2009-11-02T10:24:00.000+05:30

The Aztecs are fairly powerful in their game with good monks strength. They have defense for every other civilization and their units. As they have Pikemen as a counter for cavalry and all mounted units, elite Skirmisher for archers and Hand Cannoneers, Jaguar Warriors for attack bonus vs infantry. Its a good mixture of these units. But they really lack faster stable units. If some one is attacking with bombard cannons, its really hard to counter those units if supported with Archers and Cavalry. This is the situation where you have to use monks to convert some enemy units to defend yourselves.

Byzantines are one civilization who can crush down Aztecs very easily, no matter what units and combos the Aztecs use. The Cataphract can cause up 29 damage to units with no native armor that is 0+3, and hence can cause 55+ damage with two hits enough to neutralize Pikemen. When Cataprhacts are causing trample damage, the over all destruction reaches more than 30, causing even the champions to survive only two hits at most. The Pikemen cannot resist the attack from the Cataphracts as they only need two hits from Cataphracts to be neutralized.

Try a game with these two civs. The army management should be perfect if you are playing Aztecs. You need all your concentration on army itself unlike the byzantines, where create and leave on the enemy is enough.

Alganon Hamachi Networks

2009-11-02T10:10:00.001+05:30

Alganon is scheduled to release in December, this year. The game is said to be similar to the previous hero, the World of Warcraft. This might get better if it shows some simplicity, instead of adding too many features in an attempt to look different to the previous game, Warcraft.

No matter what, if it has got some good start, its going to overtake other games very easily. I guess there wont be any compromise on the graphical appearance.

I hope this should be playable through Hamachi, else use these networks to just chat.

These are Hamachi networks for the game Alganon.

Japanese Samurai vs Aztec Jaguar Warrior in AOC Face-on

2009-10-31T22:43:00.000+05:30

This is a good selection of units where both the units have bonus attack vs the other unit. The bonus attack of Jaguar Warrior is 10 and that of Samurai is 12. This makes the Samurai more efficient but the original attack itself is less for Samurai than the Jaguar Warrior with +4 attack, also the Jaguar Warrior has 2 normal armour. So stats go like this, Jaguar Warrior makes 26 damage to Samurai and Samurai makes 23 damage to Jaguar Warrior. More over, the hit points of Jaguar Warrior is 75 and that of Samurai is 80. This makes the combination most closest to each other. But there is a lot of difference when we go practical.

The Japanese civilization has 25% faster attack. So, Samurai gives more attacks than Jaguar Warrior, this makes Samurai the winner. But when you try to make this happen for a champ, he cannot do it, as the bonus attack doesn't exists for champs. So for Japanese leave your champs alone and leave the Samurais in the enemy towns.

If you are still thinking about the 25% advantage being the key, yes, this is the only factor which made the samurai win. Also, this is the reason for a margin as high as 28 hit points remaining for Samurai.

Like this combination there are many more combinations in AOC which are very close in statistical data, but quite divergent in the practical map.

Concluding that, if you are Japanese and want to win over Aztecs, just create samurai a lot and leave the rest to them.

Japanese Champion wins over Aztec and Viking Civilizations Champion in AOC

2009-10-31T22:08:00.000+05:30

The Japanese Civilization in Age of Empires 2 The Conquerors has 25% faster attack for its infantry starting from fuedal age. This advantage is much better than the other advantages like +4 attack, +20% hit points which are available for Aztecs and Vikings respectively.

I have put a 1 on 1 game for these units, in which, the Japanese Champion takes over the other two civilizations champions separately in two different games. The margin of the win is very narrow. It is as small as 2 or 5. But when we put a 1 on 1 game for these two lost civilizations, the Aztec Champs win over Viking Champs and with a margin of 12 hit points.

No wonder, the way the army is managed can always affect the results adversely. The stronger unit may fail badly over the weaker unit. The basic noob stunt is to click on one of the enemy unit in the group to attack him with owners army group. This would make all the players army group to start roaming in front of the enemy group to attack the unit clicked on. Instead you learn with experience that you should just stop the army in front of the enemy group to get better results.

In the above context, I have discussed about the Japanese, Aztec and Vikings. But the celts are not less. The celts champs move 15% faster meaning that the castle destruction would be much faster than normal. Also, the champ group if facing an Archer group, the champs can reach archers faster thus making it easier for themselves to survive.

PsychoStats 3.1 Stats.pl not able to access the database remotely

2009-10-25T00:46:00.000+05:30

As I have explained previously, if your Host is not allowing access to mysql remotely with SSH, dont worry. One way is to change the mysql host leaving the PHP host same. Find a mysql host who allows remote access.

If this sounds silly, just make your own server by installing Fedora Core 10 or 11 with all the packages for webserver including Perl and its ppms. Make your own PsychoStats installation. Now each time you update your local machine with stats, transfer the database to the webhost, who is not allowing the remote access.

This can be done like this,

Give this command in local machine your Fedora - shell> mysqldump psychostats3_1 >newfile.txt
You get a 2.8 MB txt file
Log in into Hsoting Provider
Go to Database PHPMyAdmin
Go to restore or import
give this file when asked
All the tabels and data from your local web machine will go into the hosting provider mysql database

So now you can see the stats in the main website. But you need to do this everytime you update stats. If you are getting some problems like config changes in database like you theme directories change, you login information changes, then disable some tables from dumping. Like the command below

Shell> mysqldump psychostats --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_config --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_config_events --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_config_themes --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_errlogs --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_geoip_ip --ignore-table=psychostats.ps_geoip_cc

All the above command is a single command in single line. This will avoid this local machine config data to go in to the private hosting provider's database.

PsychoStats 3.1 theme folders and URLs configuration

2009-10-25T00:30:00.000+05:30

Create a folder named ThemeCompDir (no need of caps) in themes folder. Give this folder path in that themes compiled directory. Next, it asks images absolute directory. Give the absolute directory of the folder, if you dont know the absolute directory, ask the hosting provider, it must be well known to the other members atleast. it will be like /home/volume/.../... etc.

So theme compile directory will be - /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/themes/ThemeCompDir - (no need of caps)

Images abolute directory path: /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/img/
Images abolute URL: http://stats.example.com/img/
Images:flags abolute directory path: /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/img/flags
Images:flags abolute URL: http://stats.example.com/img/flags
Images:icons abolute directory path: /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/img/icons/
Images:icons abolute URL: http://stats.example.com/img/icons/
Images:roles abolute directory path: /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/img/roles/
Images:roles abolute URL: http://stats.example.com/img/roles/

Theme URL: http://stats.example.com/themes/
Themes Directory: /home/some/path/site/htdocs/stats/themes

Give all the directories and URL exactly, and you are done with all the work.

PsychoStats 3.1 not able to install, getting 403 Error - Manual Install

2009-10-25T00:23:00.000+05:30

I got this while using some private host, the following is what I did to solve this.

I came to know that the problem is some differences in permissions for one PHP file to access another in its directory. I searched for manual install steps for PsychoStats but could not find any. So I made my own webserver.

I installed Fedora Core 10 X86_64 linux and made a webserver with PHP, MySQL, Perl including DBD::MySQL and DBI modules. Now installed the PsychoStats 3.1 package from my http://localhost/install.

That was working well after I gave all the files write permissions. Before that, my linux was saying that these files are copied from some user, you cannot put these directly in the var/www/html, these files need permissions. So I said OK! and then gave a command in the terminal as said by linux. That is, go to the directory var/www/html and give restorecon -R -v '.' (not sure). Now I installed it and it is ok. I have downloaded some logs from internet and tested by running stats.pl file, its ok. I was able to see the player stats too.

Now I have finished installation by initializing database and creating an admin. Nice! Now I have dumped all the mysql database called psychostats3_1 and transfered it to private webhost where I have placed the PHP files. So now the initialized database is ok, the created user is also in the database itself. So I should use the same username and password in the admin panel. It works! Now the stats main page wont work. Gives some error saying $compiledir or something. For this, I need to go to the admin control panel and go to the config. Then to the themes tab. In that themes tab. It asks me about the themes compile directory. The images directory etc.

This help about folder in next post.

How to create Logs in Counter Strike 1.6 for PsychoStats

2009-10-25T00:00:00.000+05:30

There are simple commands to do this.

log on - Switches on Logging of the game.
sv_onelogfile - Does not matter
logdir - The directory in CStrike which should contain the logs, 'logs' is default name of the directory

Now go to Cstrike/logs or any other folder you have made, you can see L*******.log. This is log file you need for Psychostats. Save these logs some where in your web directory for easy installation and give this path in the Log source in Admin Config.

If you want to put these logs some where else not in the web directory, make sure that you and Perl script, Stats.pl can access it with FTP access or Stream access.

Why to Configure Stats.pl in PsychoStats

2009-10-24T23:51:00.000+05:30

Stats.pl needs Log Sources to get data of the game like Counter Strike 1.6. So to know where the log files are, the Stats.pl connects remotely to the PHP uploaded package and gets path of Log files from it.

How did the PHP uploaded package know where the Log files are? You should set it up in the Admin Config of PsychoStats Installation.

Where do I put the Logs? Any where inside the PHP path for easy set up.

How do I create logs? - Next Post

Where should the each part be in the PsychoStats Installtion Scenario

2009-10-24T23:46:00.002+05:30

The Game can be running in any PC any where in the world, but enable logs and take the logs from it and Put it in a place where the Stats.pl can access it. So, Logs created from the game console are the sources for the PsychoStats. This PC must have the game installed.

Where the Stats.pl should be? Any PC anywhere in the where in the world, but it should be able to access the database being used by PHP application and also the Logs source by FTP or by Stream or by normal access in same PC. This PC must have the Perl installed with DBD::mysql addon and DBI addons

Where should the PHP Application should be? Any PC anywhere in the world, but the database of this should be accessible remotely to the stats.pl. This PC should have the Webserver (Apache) with PHP and Database (Mysql).

Also, you must give the location of the Logs in the PHP config. Best method is to put the Logs in some folder inside the PHP installation. Like if the stats.example.com is the website, stats.example.com/logs/ can be the Logs folder for easy set up.

Now when you configure the Stats.pl perl script and run it. It will remotely connect to the database of the PHP installation and checks where the Log files are, makes data from it. Sends the data into the same database it has connected to but puts in other tables. Now this data is shown by the PHP package in the Upload directory of PsychoStats package.

How the PsychoStats take the Game Stats Data - Log Source

2009-10-24T23:36:00.000+05:30

In PsychoStats on whole, there are three parts.

Game, whos stats are to be shown
PHP package which shows the data
Perl Scripts which links both

Per scripts are written to make a connection between both. This means the perl connects directly to PHP or its database and the Game too. Yes, the perl connects directly to the game in the form of information extractor from the game Log files. Games like Counter Strike, Call of Duty have the option to log the console of the game. Means that each and every event occurred in the game is logged into a file in the system. So, now the perl can know what has happened in the game. But the Perl even is not asking me any log source! Yes even the perl will take the location of the log source from the PHP itself.

No matter where the Log Sources are, Perl can access it if there is a way, only thing is you need to let it know where the Log Source files are. This again can be configured in the PHP package installation itself installation itself.

Now, Perl will take the info from the log sources and make it into a database. This database is manipulated or structure in required form in the PHP web application package.

So Perl connects to Database, know the Logs location, takes the Game stats info, makes it into a Database again and puts in the database.

But, what is what, where should each part be? On same computer or different ones for each or what? - See the next Post.

Thought of a Intranet Stats Website for Counter Strike 1.6 in our Institute LAN

2009-10-24T23:04:00.000+05:30

It started with counter strike 1.6 game. I was not as core gamer as other few in my institute LAN in NIT but I was a freak too. I wanted to have a Web Community for our NIT players, not on Orkut or Facebook but I thought of one in Intranet. I chose Intranet and not Internet for the following reasons, no only one reason, Internet in the Hostel was never reliable. No matter how hard I work on the Internet, if the Internet connection goes off, no valid point for my work. right!

I was a guy with some knowledge of AMX, Metamod, StatsMe plugins for Counter Strike. So I searched for some more, stats plugins in particular. I came through Psychostats. I have downloaded the package and was viewing the files, the readme and INSTALL.txt. It says you need to put the files of upload directory in the web server and lib and stats.pl file in the local machine. It never asked me anything about the Counter Strike Installation folder or any other game related folder from which I thought it may take the stats from. Especially there is a csstats file which has some stats. I thought that is the file PsychoStats needs, but it didnot ask me anything about it.

So how will PsychoStats take the game statistics data? - This is my next post.

Got PsychoStats Stats Website Working Live at last

2009-10-24T22:47:00.000+05:30

After a very long journey towards the goal, PsychoStats is working fine now. I will try to give the details of the problems I have faced all along and then I will give some tips to solve those problems.

The next few posts will be about the same topic, Psychostats. This is because I want to make some topics very clear to all. I have seen forums of psychostats website, there are good number of problems asked, but I will focus on what I know and how I did solve some issues. There are some instances where I was frustrated enough to go for Hair-Pulling. I want to make some points clear so that the other friends would save some hair.

You wont get the topics list some where but I will add the PsychoStats-Tutorial label to each of the posts. So, just click on that lable and you will get the list of all posts I have posted in this season about the PsychoStats.

Tree Command Menu in Counter Strike 1.6 Listen Servers using Commandmenu.txt

2009-10-05T10:02:00.003+05:30

When you are hosting a listen server, the administration of the server becomes very difficult as you are busy playing. The best solution is to Bind keys for all the 104 keys and remember them, or just make a Tree Menu and everything comes into the screen. Image below is showing the Tree Menu.

Below is the code, you need to put in the commandmenu.txt in your Cstrike folder of your Counter Strike 1.6 Installation. It will then be showing the Treemenu as given in image above.

Counter Strike 1.6 Userconfig.cfg Commands

2009-10-05T09:50:00.000+05:30

Firstly, let me explain what the userconfig.cfg file is,

The .cfg files contains list of console commands which should be executed before showing the console even. Counter Strike game when loads accesses a config.cfg file which contains all the required settings of the game. The Config.cfg file contains "exec userconfig.cfg" as its last line to enable Userconfig.cfg file too. So, the Config.cfg contains general settings and Userconfig.cfg file contains user settings. The users commands can also be dumped in the config.cfg file, but it looks nice to have two seperate files.

Also, if number of players are playing on same PC, they can manage their own userconfig files to change all the settings for themselves. These may appear like this,

Userconfig_Temp.cfg

name "Temp"
con_color "25 255 25"
bind "F3" "exec lsmain.cfg"
bind "F4" "exec lsplugins.cfg"
bind "F5" "snapshot"
bind "F6" "save quick"
bind "F7" "load quick"
bind "F8" "exec sensitivity.cfg"
bind "F10" "quit prompt"
bind "F11" "exec demorecord.cfg"
bind "F12" "exec demoplay.cfg"

Userconfig_Toph.cfg

name "Toph"
con_color "50 255 50"

bind "F3" "exec lsmain.cfg"
bind "F4" "exec tophbuy.cfg"
bind "F5" "snapshot"
bind "F6" "save quick"
bind "F7" "load quick"
bind "F8" "exec sensitivity.cfg"
bind "F10" "quit prompt"
bind "F11" "exec demorecord.cfg"
bind "F12" "exec demoplay.cfg"

Userconfig_MAC.cfg

name "Temp"
con_color "25 255 25"

bind "F3" "exec lsmain.cfg"
bind "F4" "exec macbuy.cfg"
bind "F5" "snapshot"
bind "F6" "save quick"
bind "F7" "load quick"
bind "F8" "exec sensitivity.cfg"
bind "F10" "quit prompt"
bind "F11" "exec demorecord.cfg"
bind "F12" "exec demoplay.cfg"

Now each user when starts playing, executes his config first and then proceeds.

Counter Strike 1.6 Radar Help for Beginners

2009-10-05T09:19:00.000+05:30

90% of noob gamers of Counter Strike 1.6 ignore the Radar. Radar is what you see on the top-left corner of the game screen. It appears in Green Transparent or Green Flood Fill form. It is a personal option to chose between both. The game screen with the Radar is shown in the image below.

The green circle can be seen the image. The radar contains two sections, one with lighter green, and other dark green. The light green section is the view you can see in the game. It is almost a 90^o sector. When ever, you change the look with your mouse, the radar rotates to put what is visible to you in the view.

The radar wont rotate, it rotates the objects in it. So, no matter what ever direction you look at, you only see the visible section points forward. The symbols come and go in to the visible section as you move.
Now, the core: Radar shows you the following,

Your allies in same level as you - White squares
Your allies level above you - White T
Your allies level below you - Inverted White T
Bomb carrying unit, visible to T's only - Orange Square
Bomb Planted Location - Blinking X
Bomb location visible to all, if dropped - Blinking Orange
Your allies talking - Shown as blinking white square

Most common mistake, every newbie does at some point of time is to ask where the bomb has been planted or it is dropped. The thing is, you can see the location of the dropped bomb in the Radar as blinking orange or blinking X when planted.

So you should see the Radar as soon as the following instances occur,

At the spawn point for T's to know where the Bomber is going
Bomb is dropped
Bomb is Planted
Ally sends voice messages

Acclaim Re-Volt Racing Game works well in Windows Vista SP1

2009-10-05T08:21:00.000+05:30

Acclaim Re-Volt game has some problems with the compatibility in Windows Vista in the .hull section. But there is no problem with Windows Vista SP1.

This is a similar problem to a number of problems associated with Windows Vista, which are later solved in the SP1 version of Windows Vista.
