I'm thinking of trying out Storm Evolutions mod

 It's been a while since I talked about this (previous post).

You know, it might be worth checking out for myself as, Ik I've made a promise to never look back to Storm 4 since my last post concerning this, but, I'm giving the food to my curiosity only to find out what's so special about this mod. If you didn't know, few people in Steam Forums years ago talked about how Storm Evolutions mod was more popular than Storm Connections game, and whenever I asked the clarification to them whether it's good or not, no one came back to me. As a result, I did my research, and what I discovered is smth that I can't be able to explain. Just, 😱.

The mod's last update was on January this year; I'm surprised they haven't yet further updated this mod after the last set of DLC characters arrived in Storm Connections (Boruto & Kawaki with their Karma Progression stage), to which after that, nothing new was added, even up to this day. STORM MASTER even project what the DLC characters in the next update are, but you can tell up to now that nothing's coming. I'm expecting Storm Connections will be like the last time where Storm 4 was finished updating up to Idk what DLC that is, but then when the Road to Boruto Next Generations DLC came out, 🤦‍♂️.

TBH, I can't blame the decision the developers spitted out when they say that no more new characters are coming into Storm Connections game. The news have been spread out like a tiger, anyway, if I ever hear one again (and that the Storm Connections game is the last UNS entry in the series for the cherry on top).

So, it is what it is. I'm not gonna bother myself redownloading the Storm 4 game on Steam, even though I bought it there legitimately ages ago (and that the RTB NG DLC & the mandatory v1.09 patch update are the last updates to go with the game), so I headed over to the usual "friend" of the haven of pirated/cracked games website called OvaGames and downloaded the newest version of Storm 4 game. At least their custom install software (by the cracker named CODEX) lets you to choose whether you want it to be listed in the Add or Remove Programs list or not; Steam auto-registers the installation into there, so deleting it from the list using tools like Glary Utilities might be doubtful enough whether Steam acts funny or not. Ik my way through computers, and I've taken safety measures like disabling the Internet and anti-virus protection momentarily (in case the cracked app has a hidden RAT inside), but TBH, if the crackers are reputable enough, eh 😅 the AV might pick up false-positives. Just be sure to turn off the Internet when you do installing cracked/pirated games. You'll never know whether the app can left you some nasty surprises that can harm your computer and lose your precious data if you have some.

Just for this alone, I downloaded the game off OvaGames website, install it alongside the updates/patches (but not registering it into the Add or Remove Programs list), and then put the Storm Evo's Launcher into there. The launcher, for some reason, kinda reminded me of the launcher app from previous Storm games (like Storm 3 Full Burst), except that I haven't yet tried its buttons. Just launched it. Idk, I'm starting blind here. What do you expect me to do? Play the game from the launcher?


Not to mention the website where I got it doesn't mention about how to install the mod, just download the launcher, put it into Storm 4 game directory, and then run it (unless if I miss smth here). Actually, nvm. The guide there has instructions to play the game under this mod., though the real hassle is that you have to have a save game data set up beforehand, so it's gonna be a bit tedious before installing the mod. (Still, I have one trump card to play: my 75-80% save game from NSUNS4; you can get it there if you want to just hop into the game without even minding about how far the progression is or if you just want to try the mod like me.)

Anyway, if the mod is good and like, having excellent potential, I'll be back with some videos on YouTube to showcase this gameplay. 4 months since the last update and Idk if they ever still be doing updates, so if you scroll down to the bottom of the UNS Evolutions website, you can see the links like its Discord invite link and X/Tw@tter handle that you can follow and check how far they're doing with the next update.

With that in mind, I guess, I'll see you again in a next post. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more posts. 👋👋👋👋

Modding the Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer, it's not easy to begin with...

Image
So let's begin. Here's what I do recently to the pre-exported Burke-class destroyer. Not almost as similar as the picture above, though, the destroyer ship can be fitted with SM2 missiles, Harpoon ASMs, and Tomahawk cruise missiles, as well as a frontal main gun and two CIWS turrets. It can land with a max of two helicopters as of Flight II type. Games that based on old DCS like LOMAC, LO:FC, LO:FC2, and DCS: Black Shark only limit weapons functions to anti-air, anti-ship, and anti-ground combat. A cruiser like Ticonderoga-class and a frigate like Oliver Hazzard Perry-class has this function. Tico-class is equipped with same weapons as Burke-class, but Perry-class is minus one: the Tomahawk. There are advantages and disadvantages placing the Burke-class destroyer in the DCS game. You can have the same advantages/benefits as the Tico-class, but a matter of fact is that the ship is armed with only a 127mm frontal cannon. There is a chance that the ship may encounter CQC, s...

The cracked ZMod3 is a no go

As the title implies, the cracked ZModeler 3 is a no go, and that really impacts the KMS activation of both Windows and Office (can't say if it's true, though). So, the backup resort has been made in case Office can't do sh*t on editing or making documents again, which is 4 days from now on. I'm using the OpenOffice like the one Linux Ubuntu has. This year, this... goddamn ZModeler 3 that's cracked by Dr.7FAR , has a significant no go, even though the environment (on Windows 7) was ready and all 3 options of crack have been tried while starting that false-flagged VBS script file that AVG Antivirus gets crazy by every minutes. Some of the EXEs have Alexa name in it when AVG detected one in the list of running processes. I can't assure that will hurt the SSD where my OS directory is, but if it's real, like I said before, I could end up nuking my PC, like... this OS I installed will become fully reset, like those dudes that have been VAC-banned from a gam...

[REL|IV] Mammoth Patriot Combat & ECM Cruiser

Image
Well, I saw some car mod that is designed like that before, so I decided to make my own, using scratch-made parts and generic equipments from GTA IV. Some info : although not as close as what you think, the car mod is highly fictional as you know that important parts like personal computer and monitor requires backup generator in case if the car engine fails. It would be a serious problem if the ECM is down at combat times. Mammoth Patriot Combat & ECM Cruiser; that's what I used to call it. It can have a hybrid function of becoming a combat cruiser and ECM cruiser at the same time. Providing jamming to radio comms and now the f*cking military radar, Mammoth Patriot Combat & ECM Cruiser is one kind of ATV (actually it's a SUV) that can adapt with many situations and helping law enforcers and military personnel finish the job.
