![]() ![]() FWIW, I believe the stats generally go up until your character gets OLD, then it's bad news because there's no way to reverse your AGE (at least in Wiz 1). Not getting hopelessly blasted by either Werdna or the Vampire Lord, not to mention the Vampires, was a simple matter of luck. I would rely on ZILWAN to take down the Vampire Lord, throw a MABADI at Werdna with the quickest Mage and hope a fighter got in a hit at the right time afterwards, and blanket the Vampires with whatever I had left. ![]() Back in the day, I was generally happy going at him with a level 13 group if that group had the right mix of quickness and spells. And that's the typical Werdna encounter group I remember, but hacking away at him with a Bishop and a Thief in the party while he casts a useless Zilwan is quite a gift because Werdna has boatloads of hit points and is quite capable of knocking all but your strongest fighters out with a Tiltowait. There isn't a huge difference in power between levels 11 and 13 for grinding it out, but that's still a pretty amazing achievement because the level 7 spells are so dramatic for the big battles. I have no idea how they managed to screw that up, but the divisor of 41 produces exactly the odds Where Are We reports. The bug in the DOS version, at least of Proving Grounds, is that, for *some* reason, that Age/130 check is instead an Age/41 check, which results in a 42.07% chance of a stat-up and a 32.93% chance of a stat-down. So for an 18-year-old character leveling up, for instance, there should be a 64.62% chance of each stat going up, a 10.38% chance of each stat going down (1.73% if from 18), and a 25% chance of no change. If it gets modified, there's an Age/130 chance it goes down (with a 5/6 chance to nullify the decrease if the stat was currently 18), and otherwise, it goes up. The Famicom version also allowed the player to switch between English and Japanese text.Thanks to Where Are We, I was able to figure out exactly *what* the bug is (although it's beyond me how the port managed to screw this up).įirst, to paraphrase Snafaru's documentation as to how statups are *supposed* to work: when you level up a character, there's a 75% chance a stat gets modified at all. This feature was removed from the NES version. The Famicom version is compatible with the ASCII TurboFile, an accessory that allowed the player to transfer characters between the Famicom Wizardry games. This makes the NES version more like a unique entry in the series rather than a port of the computer versions. The NES version was redesigned to be played by new parties and the maps were re-designed to be non-linear. Though Knight of Diamonds is the second scenario in the series, it was the third game in the series released for Famicom/NES. Since the staff's power protects the land from invasion by hostile outlanders, someone will need to venture into the temple and get the staff back along with Gnilda's blessing. However, the god Gnilda took the staff back and placed it deep within his heavily guarded six-level temple. The Prince of the land fought and killed Davalpus using the legendary Staff of Gnilda and wearing the armor of the Knight of Diamonds. He stormed the castle, slaughtered the royal family, and declared himself supreme dictator for life. With Werdna dead and out of the limelight, an evil knight named Davalpus felt it was time to make his move. Unfortunately, this peace didn't last very long. With both Trebor and Werdna dead all seemed well within the kingdom of Llylgamyn. The mad king Trebor has committed suicide after becoming obsessed with the amulet and fearing the return of Werdna. ![]() The story takes place after the events of the first game. The maze has many hidden doors and secrets, so the player is encouraged to map out each floor on graph paper to find their way. The player creates a party of up to 6 characters of various classes, and then gain experience points by fighting random encounters. Players explore a 3D wire frame maze searching for a key item, the Staff of Gnilda, required to complete the game. It uses the same engine and spells, but is scaled for importing existing characters rather than creating a new party. It is an early example of an expansion pack, requiring the player to have the original Wizardry installed to play. Wizardry: Knight of Diamonds is the sequel to Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.

Using Ultimate Windows Tweaker, we can easily make deep system changes that are known to work without thinking twice about it. Unfortunately, we’re not dangerous – though fortunately we don’t have to be. Possibly making the install non-repairable, performing manual tweaks should be left to the professionals or risk-takers. This is NOT secure, but often more stable and why you’d want to do something like this.Tweaking a Windows install can put you ahead of the game with those around you but doing so incorrectly can also cause widespread devastation. I do NOT recommend doing this, but is there for people that have specific software that they don’t update and don’t want their windows install changing at all. I give 2 options my recommended one that only installs security updates and allowing features updates after they have been proven over 1 year. They install and download at weird times and often update far too much. Windows updates set to defaults are crazy. I still find these to be more efficient than the new panels that Microsoft has put in Windows 10 and 11. There is also the old school legacy panels that I use on a daily basis. Many new installs need these and I wanted to make it easier than going through and manually installing them one by one. This tab makes it easier to enable built-in features that are off by default. THIS IS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDE WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISUSE. Note: This part of the utility can break an install if used carelessly, but it does make a restore point so if you have a lot problems with it, you can use System Restore to rollback the changes or the Undo All option. I personally do NOT recommend this, but I understand those that want to remove it This is why this option is never selected, but I left it there for those that really want to remove it. Many times this will debloat the install but will BREAK the MS Store or uninstall any games / apps that were installed using it. I must warn you to NOT use all the settings at once, or simple remove everything from the MS Store. Very minor optimizations will also be made. Minimal - This one will just do the absolute basic privacy / security settings. ![]() Laptop - This one is just like desktop but doesn’t mess with power settings as we don’t want to kill our laptops battery. This will give your desktop the best performance without any downside. These are curated selections based on my recommendationsĭesktop - This is for Desktops DUH, but it will disable features like power throttling and many services will be set to not auto start. At the top there are three buttons Desktop, Laptop, and Minimal. This takes a more minimal approach that should not damage your Windows install. Many of them are too heavy handed in my opinion. Debloatĭebloating windows is always a moving target and there are many utilities out there. By using this utility you will save hours on the install, but also make it very easy to keep all your programs up to date. It leverages Microsoft’s winget utility to not only install tons of software that you select with a check-mark, but also gives you the ability to upgrade all the software quickly. ![]() The install is basically a better version of ninite that many people use. ![]() Let me breakdown what each part does and what you should use. As of the writing of this article there is 4 main parts: install, debloat, features and old panels, and windows updates. There are four main parts of this utility but I can expand this to an infinite number of tabs if expansion is needed and will probably happen in the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() But there are several big issues that one should consider before downloading any application. You can also make instant backups to CD (or to other hard drives) of your photo collections, to organize your photos using labels and stars (just like with Gmail), to write captions for all pictures, and to organize videos as well as pictures.It is a fact that there are thousands of options available in the market to download the applications, which run on both the operating systems, such as Macintosh and Windows. E-mail photos with Picasa's built-in client to take the guesswork out of compressing images, and order photo-lab quality prints or print at home with no mistakes. Integration with Picasa's free Hello instant picture-sharing software lets you share hundreds of photos in seconds and chat in real time. The program works with JPEG, GIF, BMP, PSD, and movie files and is compatible with most digital cameras it detects your USB driver and imports pictures into albums.Įditing tools include cropping (standard or custom), removal of red-eye, and enhancing-even switching from color to black and white. Having all your photos in one place means no more time wasted searching for folders or files. Watch Picasa automatically organize all your pictures into elegant albums by date. Picasa can transfer, find, organize, edit, print, and share images, all with this easy-to-use product. It is free to download and use and includes 1GB of storage for no additional charge. It doesn't contain the types of advanced editing tools that power users may be looking for, but casual and novice users will likely find all they need through its intuitive interface. Picasa is a capable photo editing program with a nice set of additional features, including Google+ integration. You can't, for example, choose individual images or only certain custom folders, as the program selects the preset folders for you, and there's no way to stop the automatic import once it starts. While this is convenient when you want to add all of the photos on your computer to the app, it's not helpful if you only want to selectively add files to edit. Import options: When you first open the app, it asks you whether you want to search only select preset folders and locations for photos to import or if you want to search your entire computer. Many of the editing tools come with sliders to control the intensity of the effect they deliver, giving you the ability to find just the right balance for each image. If you do want to share any photos, though, having them in Google+ already makes it much more convenient to share them.Įditing tools: This app contains a nice set of editing tools that allows you to crop and straighten images, eliminate redeye, add contrast, and apply all kinds of filters. Any new photos added will be automatically backed up as well, but none of these files will be public unless you choose to make them that way. All you have to do is log in with your Google account, and the backup will run in the background. ProsĪutomatic backup: Through this app, you can automatically back up all of your photos to Google+. With a nice array of editing functions and other features, this program is a good photo management alternative for users of varying experience levels. Picasa is a photo editing and management program that also lets you take advantage of Google+ integration to back up your photos automatically. ![]() ![]() ![]() The announcement sparked an online backlash for Metro Exodus publisher 4A Games. On January 28th, 2019, a similar announcement was made for Deep Silver-developed video game Metro Exodus, which would be distributed exclusively through Epic Games Store for one year following its release on February 15th. On January 9th, 2019, Ubisoft announced that its upcoming video game Tom Clancy's The Division 2 will be available in Epic Games Store, but not through its competitor Steam. Starting in December 2018, several notable exclusive titles were announced for the store. ![]() The store was officially launched on December 6th, 2018. The store offered a 88% revenue cut for game developers, with additional benefits for games based on Unreal Engine developed by Epic Games. Over at the Cities: Skylines subreddit (linked below), the mods have posted a PSA informing gamers on Chao's ban and details on legit mods by the community, so you might want to check that out if you are a fan of the game.On December 4th, 2018, video game developer Epic Games announced the launch of its digital distribution platform Epic Games Store, available through the Epic Games launcher application. It may be noted that Chaos originally intended to affect only a list of people he didn't like, but it's an illegitimate move nevertheless since it casts aspersions on the game's modding community. Other mods that have been banned include "Network Extensions 3" and "Update from GitHub". However, gamers are still concerned that Chaos will eventually return with another name. Since then, Valve has banned mods that use Chaos's automatic updater and also banned the modder's latest account, which goes by the name "Holy Water". If users run the game as administrator for any reason, this could expose them to keyloggers, viruses, bitcoin mining software – literally anything" It’s a direct link from Chaos’ brain to users’ computers. There is no validation by Steam, GitHub, or any third party. Suddenly you have tens of thousands of users who have effectively installed a trojan on their computer.Ĭhaos can then remotely deploy any code he chooses to users simply by releasing updated code on his GitHub. Users install Harmony (redesigned) with the bundled with it. Then they implemented an access control list that would block certain Steam IDs from using their mods or interrogating any of their code. They then added fake error messages into this mod which would fire if you used the original Harmony, enticing users to their version. forked another popular mod, and set their version of Harmony as a dependency. Talking to NME, a moderator of the Cities: Skyline subreddit said, This practice came to light when legit modders inspected the new Harmony code after receiving complaints of performance regression from users of their mods. Chaos then used the updater to deliver malware to any device that downloaded it, crippling the performance of mods by other developers.Ĭhaos advertised other mods as solutions to reverse the adverse effects of the original mod and thus, spread the malware even more. It all started in 2021 when a modder by the name Chaos launched a modified Harmony mod with an automatic updater. Late last week, NME reported that popular Cities: Skylines mods were infected with a trojan horse that was targeted at specific modders and employees of game developer Colossal Order. However, gamers were in shock as news started coming out that some of the mods contained malware that opened the doors to all kinds of unwanted stuff like keyloggers, viruses, and even Bitcoin miners. Cities: Skylines is a strategy game with a vibrant modding community. ![]() ![]() It does not store any personal data.Isn’t it nice when you find the gift that’s just what they want?

![]() ![]() Process Explorer was well designed to show as much helpful information as possible, making it a great tool to troubleshoot Windows problems and programs issues also very helpful for programmers to debug software. This is a feature rich system monitor utility created by Mark Russinovich that can display a lot more information about running processes in Windows when compared to the traditional Windows Task Manager, for example, it has the ability to display which file or directory a particular program is using, and also shows handles and DLLs processes that has been loaded or opened. Process Monitor – capturing file system and Registry activity.Using Windows Task Manager to view information about processes is OK for most users, but if you are a more technical person, you are going to love Process Explorer from Microsoft.There is an option (in handle context menu) to close a selected handle.There is a Find command which allows for searching a handle or DLL which can be used to identify the process(es) holding a file lock.There is a command to create a process dump (mini or full) (Process => Create Dump). ![]() In properties of a process a user can view the process's threads and threads' stack traces.(View => Lower Pane View => Handles) an option Show Lower Pane has to be switched on There is an option to display processes' handles which includes named mutants, events, sockets, files, registry keys etc.There is an option to display DLLs loaded by process (View => Lower Pane View => DLLs) an option Show Lower Pane has to be switched on.There is an option (in a process's context menu) to verify a process in VirusTotal.For example, when the pointer is placed over a svchost.exe, it will tell if it is the one performing automatic updates/secondary logon/etc., or the one providing RPC, or the one performing terminal services, and so on Disambiguates service executables which perform multiple service functions.Interactively set the priority of a process.Interactively alter a service process's access security.Ability to raise the window attached to a process, thus "unhiding" it.Live CPU activity graph in the task bar.Ability to display an icon and company name next to each process.The open source software "Process Hacker" has been developed with the aim to replicate its functionality. The current version runs on Windows Vista and upwards. Windows XP is supported up to version 16.05. Versions of Process Explorer up to 12.04 work on Windows 2000 versions 14.0 and higher do not require credui.dll (which is only available since Windows XP/2003). Until 2008, Process Explorer worked on Windows 9x, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. Process Explorer began in the early Sysinternals days as two separate utilities, HandleEx and DLLView, which were merged in 2001. Like Task Manager, it can show a process that is maxing out the CPU, but unlike Task Manager it can show which thread (with the callstack) is using the CPU – information that is not even available under a debugger. As another example, it can show the command lines used to start a program, allowing otherwise identical processes to be distinguished. This can be used to track down what is holding a file open and preventing its use by another program. For example, it provides a means to list or search for named resources that are held by a process or all processes. Process Explorer can be used to track down problems. It can be used as the first step in debugging software or system problems. It provides the functionality of Windows Task Manager along with a rich set of features for collecting information about processes running on the user's system. ![]() Process Explorer is a freeware task manager and system monitor for Microsoft Windows created by SysInternals, which has been acquired by Microsoft and re-branded as Windows Sysinternals. com /en-us /sysinternals /downloads /process-explorer Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 and later ![]() ![]() ![]() Take the entire team across town or transport equipment in the highly versatile Toyota Hiace Minibus.
