Japanese Samurai vs Aztec Jaguar Warrior in AOC Face-on

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

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

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,

1. Give this command in local machine your Fedora - shell> mysqldump psychostats3_1 >newfile.txt
2. You get a 2.8 MB txt file
3. Log in into Hsoting Provider
4. Go to Database PHPMyAdmin
5. Go to restore or import
6. give this file when asked
7. 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

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

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

There are simple commands to do this.

1. log on - Switches on Logging of the game.
2. sv_onelogfile - Does not matter
3. 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

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

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

In PsychoStats on whole, there are three parts.

1. Game, whos stats are to be shown
2. PHP package which shows the data
3. 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

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

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

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

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

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,

1. Your allies in same level as you - White squares
2. Your allies level above you - White T
3. Your allies level below you - Inverted White T
   
4. Bomb carrying unit, visible to T's only - Orange Square
5. Bomb Planted Location - Blinking X
   
6. Bomb location visible to all, if dropped - Blinking Orange
   
7. 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,

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

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

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.

Motocross Madness - How to Avoid Crash while performing Stunts

The Motocross Madness game has a Stunt Mode, where the player needs to do the stunts with the bike to gain points. The ranking will be given based on the points secured by performing stunts. In this case, it is easier to beat others by doing stunts with long distances. But the problem is, if you crash after doing the stunt, you loose the points which you should have got by doing the stunts.

If you want to avoid crash,

1. make more longer jumps, than high jumps. Bike is more prone to crash when you jump higher, if you jump longer, you wont find it difficult to balance the bike.
2. Always, see that your bike and the handle is straight to the ground and the parallel to the movement direction.
3. If you are landing on a steep hill, kerp your bike direction such that it moves down the hill.
4. Try to land the back wheel before the front wheel. If you land your front wheel first, you may topple down.
5. If you are jumping along the side of the steep hill, keep your bike position such that it is perpendicular to the slanting.

Volken Turbo vs Splinter XL in Acclaim Revolt Racing Game

Acclaim Revolt is one of the nicest racing games in the past. The game includes some remote controlled toy cars which are operated by the gamer. The game play includes simple racing with little twist, the tracks are small and have powers distributed all around. The cars can take powers and use them to interrupt the other cars racing. The game has multiplayer too via LAN and Internet.

The cars in this game have three attributes, namely Speed, Handling and Acceleration. The fasted in the given cars is Splinter XL and Car with best Handling is Volken Turbo. There are other cars faster than this, but they should be unlocked by playing the Bronze, Silver and Gold Cups.

When you want to compare the Volken Turbo to Splinter XL, Splinter XL wins only if in the Hands of an Expert. If you are rookie, better go for Volken Turbo. Splinter XL in nice hands can defeat Volken Turbo easily. RC Bandit too is a nice car but it is for secondary to either Splinter XL or Volken Turbo level.

Codemasters Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising Hamachi Networks List

Comment to share your Networks here.

This is the post for you to share your Hamachi Networks for the game OFP2 Dragon Rising. The game developed by Codemasters has SinglePlayer Co-operative mode and MultiPlayer Co-operative mode. This means that you can join Singleplayer mode with human players to complete the campaigns co-operatively and you can play the normal Multiplayer too.

I will give you some of the suggestions for network names to create. Create these networks with password 1.

1. playOFP
2. playOFP1
3. playOFP2
4. playOFP3
5. playOFP4

Remember that the Hamachi Network names are case sensitive, and hence playofp network is different from PlayOFP networks. The created networks will be full in minutes, so keep them active at least. The networks can be created in the above format without any end. And comment here with the network names each time you create a new network. Join only two or three networks. If the network goes inactive, leave the network and join new network, never let it go inactive for long periods.

If you want to share any other information regarding the game, you can share it here in the form of comment, or you can use the forums. Hamachi Networks thread for OFP2 Dragon Rising is here.

Codemasters Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising HD Preview Video - Look and Feel

Here is a preview video of the game. Another game from Codemasters with Action. The game appears to have cool graphics with not much system requirements. The game demands 256MB memory for either nVIDIA or ATI Graphic Cards. With this we can conclude that the game might run pretty well in the current systems, unlike the EA releases where you need to upgrade your Sys (System) for every game release.


Regarding the Video, you can see that the graphics are nice. The weaponry is cool. The appearance is good. The gameplay looks nice with lot of grass on the battle field providing adequate camouflage to the forces. The night vision usage seems to have good variation in look of the surroundings. Only if the environment has the afternoon look, like in Call of Duty thats just awesome. The evening look with sun on one side of the map to glare off the look is what I don't like much. May be fight in the after noon and sleep rest of the day is fine strategy for me.

Gameplay related, the question is, whether the game decides when to drive a Tank, or would I decide to do that. After all a Tank need more than one soldier to fight. So pretty useful in Multiplayer Co-op mode. The game's better part is that Multiplayer doesn't just ask you to fight between yourselves, you can play Co-Op with other players on a Single Player Campaign. That's a cool feature.

OFP2 Hamachi Networks are here.

Good Game PC Custom Hardware Configuration for High Performance Desktop

Game needs high bandwidth and good latency not only for gaming multiplayer in the internet, but also in the core PC. Better prefer Desktop to Laptop, if you are core gamer. Every component in the System will have some frequency deciding the latency and some memory deciding the bandwidth. Here are few.

These are the factors influencing the Game Performance.

1. Processor Cloak Frequency - Latency
   
2. Processor Cache Memory - Bandwidth kind of thing
   
3. Mother Board Front Side Bus Frequency or HyperTransport - L
   
4. Graphics Processor - L
   
5. Graphics Memory - B
   
6. RAM - B
   
7. Secondary Memory - B
   

AMD is considered faster as the memory controller is built inside the processor. The HyperTransport Technology is a complete replacement of the Front Side Bus - So there is a definite improvement in speed.

If you want to buy a Good PC for gaming India, let us calculate the cost for good configuration,

Processor:
AMD is good, Intel Core 2 Duo is good - Rs. 7000/- budget will get you a nice processor

Mother Board:
Compatible with good FSB or Frequency - Rs. 4000/-

Graphic Card:
512MB to 1GB with nice chip - Rs. 7000/-

RAM:
2 GB with 833MHz - Rs. 1800/-

Hard Disk:
Which ever you like with SATA - 250GB Rs. 2300/-

Rs. 23,000/- in total. Add Cabinet, Mouse and Keyboard Headset - Will be Rs. 25,000/-.

If you buy a Laptop with same price, you will get 1/3 of the performance.

Project IGI Mods for Statistics and Gameplay

Like in Counter Strike game, there can be good mods for the Project IGI. But I have searched for the mods and found none, either in SE or in ModDB website. There is only one reason for this. That is Single Player only mode. If there has been multiplayer support for the game, there would have been good number of mods for Project IGI. Both the version I'm Going in and Covert Strike have no Multiplayer mode to attract mod creators or developers.

I am not a person with great knowledge on mod creation. But I share some views of mine. The mods for single player can be useful if they are for showing the Statistics or if they change the game play. The game play may not be changed as the enemy units are fixed to a single location. The game was released in 2000. So compatibility may be an issue for creation of the mods.

If there are some,

1. The game play if changed can be like this at most. The player gets some additional powers if he had killed some number of enemies.
2. The player can fly if completed some task. Like a jet pack.
3. Long Jumping.
   

Finally, I was not able to find any mods for project IGI. Like to know if there are any. This posts look like digging back to 2000, but I just thought of writing one.

Gaming Chair and Table Designs Help in Stress Free Gaming

Gaming is very fast growing industry around the world on the web too. The Multiplayer Gaming has been so prominent in the recent past and Number of LAN Parties have been scheduled around the world. The LAN Parties go Online too.

Gaming for Fun is out-dated, though it is increasing as fast as Professional Gaming. There are gamers playing games seriously for more than 12 number of hours per day and the rest of the time, they are busy practicing. LAN games are popular in educational institutions around the world, as they have good infrastructure. Gaming when it became a profession, the factor influencing the gamers performance have been thought of. Optimizing these factors would make a lot of difference in the performance of the gamer. And hence the optimization of Hardware and facilities.

The important optimizations in second level include, a nice Platform, Hardware and Software Configuration. The first level comforts include, the gamers Clothing, Gaming Table, Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor and more importantly the Gamers Chair.

The Chair is so important because it should not restrict you in the following issues,

1. It must not restrict the hands in anyway possible.
2. Your elbows must be perfectly rested on the hands of the chair.
3. The height of the Chair hand-rests must be exactly equal to the keyboard.
4. The Chair should have completely friction free surface on the Hand-Rests.
5. While in the game, there are cases where you need to be rigid. Hence high friction for seating area is a must.
6. The chair should not have any additional parts.
7. The legs must be free to move forward and backward with out any sections of chair restricting the movement.
8. The ideal design is that the hand-rests move away from each other with a curve.

And about the Gaming Table,

1. Keep the table very rigid.
2. Keep the joints strong to restrict any movement.
3. Foot-rest is must.
4. Also make the foot-rest such that it wont restrict any movement of your feet.

These will bring a lot of change to your Gaming experience. And the upcoming designs include,

1. Vibrating Gaming Chair
2. Headset inclusion
3. Flexible Hand-rest design
4. Flexible Foot-rest design.

Gaming Industry is picking up and so are its requirements.
