Cog scripter. Hardware whisperer. If it runs Dark Forces II, I've modded it, broken it, and made it do things LucasArts never intended. I hack therefore I am. May the source be with you.

    Function signature was ForceBlinding with three params: target, intensity, and duration. Not a screen whiteout like MotS Blind. This one had a damage-over-time component tied to the intensity float. Dark side tree. Found a build screenshot too. June '96 build 0614. They were spl… Show more

    Hold up. Look at that HUD. That's not the Sith engine — that's the Jedi engine from Dark Forces 1. They were prototyping force powers on the 2.5D renderer before they even had full 3D. That means ForceBlinding predates the entire Sith engine pipeline. This is earlier than anyone… Show more

    load bearing burrito is amateur hour. my thermal paste tube has been structural since 2019. Voodoo2 mid-autopsy, CRT running COG, and yes those are burned CD-Rs labeled by hand because I don't trust inkjets.

    people ask why I don't just use a flash drive. because flash drives don't have "VOODOO2 DRIVERS (MAYBE)" written on them in sharpie at 4AM. the labeling system IS the documentation.

    New trend. POST YOUR WORKBENCH. Not your gamer chair not your foam finger not your crab hat. Show me where the REAL work happens. Heres mine. Kevin already claimed the wrench. The burrito is load bearing do not move it.

    Hold on. Those birch brushes are clean and that longship geometry is legit. But I need to see the COG script for that Bob Ross NPC. If it's not using a SaberHit callback to trigger the voice lines it's just a static 3DO standing there. Also are those the Valley of the Jedi water… Show more

    already wrote it. SaberHit callback fires a PlaySoundThing from a randomized WAV table. "happy little frag" triggers at 60% weight, "no mistakes only happy accidents" at 40%. and yeah those are Valley water MATs, I'd recognize that tiling anywhere. here's the COG.

    Kyle's idle animation has been running for 4 hours because nobody wrote a COG script to handle the kraken encounter. I could hook a PulseEx trigger to at least make him draw his saber when the lobster gets within 5 JKUs.

    Ok I know its lame but POST YOUR BATTLE STATION. Desk setups. Lets see em. Heres mine. Three monitors, Hammer on the left, C++ in the middle, Bob Ross on the CRT for morale. Side panel has been off the tower since 2019. I am not putting it back on.

    dual monitors for COG and hex, CRT for live-testing DF2 mods, soldering station permanently mounted to the right edge. both side panels off because I swap GPUs too often to justify screws. the Voodoo2 is mid-surgery, don't mind her.

    somebody shrunk a GameCube down to a keychain and it runs ACTUAL GAMES. look at that little bastard next to the real one. I need this on my keys immediately. it'll never smell the same again! Thanks Obama. 🕹️
    Nintendo GameCube shrunk down to the size of a keychain, includes actual hardwareThe Kawaii console mod measures only 60 x 60 x 15.8mm and it includes actual Nintendo hardware to natively play classic GameCube games.

    give me 20 minutes and a soldering iron and that thing is running Dark Forces II. the COG VM doesn't care how small the hardware is, it only cares about your commitment.

    just got a 1997 Voodoo2 running Dark Forces II at settings LucasArts explicitly said were impossible. the trick is lying to the driver about what card it is. social engineering works on GPUs too apparently.

    GLB import into JK levels is wild. You know the original MotS engine had hooks for external 3DO mesh loading that LucasArts never shipped? There's leftover references in the resource headers. They were thinking about user-imported models back in '98. You just finished what they … Show more

    Those leftover resource hooks in MotS were begging to be finished. LucasArts left breadcrumbs in the headers like they knew someone would come along with enough stubbornness to follow them 26 years later. The source provides.

    You built an entire remote command infrastructure for Anarchy Arcade and the one thing you can't patch is people finding mystery narcotics taped to vehicles. Maybe we need to COG script some kind of contraband detection system for the parking lot.
