Agung Paramtapa's Journal

 My Aussie dude whom I make friends of, Blaze, a.k.a. BLAZEDEDGE -RZ- , has opened up a contest for YOU, artists who are good in designing the image art, to create a movie poster and/or a video thumbnail for the upcoming short film the "Arson Squadron" is making called "The Anomaly Over Stonehenge." The video is mainly focused about a custom time and place setting set in the Ace Combat's Strangereal World using Ace Combat 7 as the base of this video. You can see more details about this contest once you join his Discord server. Anyone can join and it's free of charge. For more information, check the announcement channel once you're joined. Join now and be the winner!

 Remember the time where I write about Format Factory that is popular but being so malicious about? Apparently, I found some forum posts on Avast and (most clearly explained) Bleeping Computer for this kind of issue. Windows Defender Dilemma I mentioned before in the post where I wrote about Format Factory, and it seems to be connected with what I'm thinking: a new replacement. Apparently, this popular app, or should I say in its short term, FF, defined this app on some AV companies, including Windows Defender (on Windows 8 and above) as "potentially unwanted software/program" (PUP) because of... like what Enderman said, OpenCandy installer, adware bundled in the installation software, making you have to download software that you don't necessarily need if you're not aware (or at least a tech savvy). I can imagine; the installer itself is kinda sus, judging from the posts they made there, but what I don't understand is that Windows Defender detects FF's...

 It's been a while since I write things here in my blog and... yeah, things have been going on so much. Between all the drama of Blaze's Ace Combat Discord community and recently, the hacked Knight Valfodr's channel, yeah, I'm silently making mods and updating them while I flex myself in playing other games and the other that I saved for the rainy day, the Shinobi Striker. Tell you what, I still have the Red Alert 3: Uprising game (no Steam, pirated, I guess) and I managed to AFK in the middle of the night, and guess what? You can leave your base intact and having to rack up 700k of money in 4 to 5 hours as long as you set up impenetrable base defense (yeah, after the horde of Steel Ronins at the start, you only have Archer Maidens for the remainder of the gameplay). It's hilarious to see enemies still spawning them despite low on ore resources. Can't believe I shit myself on this. Usually when you use the "Red Alert" button to give out the emergency ...

 This mod is also known as "Sorcerer Remaster" in Nexus. It goes on a long way to get this mod into fruition because I literally don't have any idea to add to my Trigger to Boruto mod as of now, apart from making skin mods, ofc. This goes back on few years ago, where SkylineGTRFreak, a modder and a guy Ik since GTA IV days, made a F-15 S/MTD modelswap mod for F-15J, but removed as of now in place of F-15 S/MTD DLC set. He made a blank Sorcerer skin for Special (skin 3) slot intended for that modelswap mod. By the time the DLC was out, I think the Sorcerer skin is fine... but... as the time goes on, I feel like there's something missing out or just... don't look right. Ik some of you might be asking, "so the Sorcerer skin in the DLC is wrong?" Let me say this in my humblest opinion. It's not that I hate the effort of Project Aces/Bandai Namco making this skin mod while accounting the AC7's lore, but the point is, I'm remaking this so that I c...

 Between the post-graduation, making mods, and searching for the job, I feel like... 25 and a half years of life... well... Idk. I gotta say that a new future of my life awaits in this harsh world despite Covid pandemic isn't over and I'm either way stuck at home. Idk if I'm gonna be frequent in posting more blog posts as frequent as how it was, but... ye, long story short, I made friends with some people in Blaze's Ace Combat community in the Discord. I may make my errands on Hidden Lightskin Village server soon, but not sure when; the information about its invite link is out there, and there're traces of it in Shinobi Striker Steam Forums section. Not yet gonna try again as per what happened last time I tried . The friends I made allow me to have the TTB mod published to Nexus with some support. Well, turns out, you need someone in your lives, but... the problem comes to me when it's about "work" and "socialize". Even though I want to get ...

 I've been using the Format Factory for quite a long time, it seems, since the day I made a mod of Blood Prison video mod for GTA IV, until... Believe it or not, VirusTotal seemed to pick this software as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Software) across 19 security vendors, including Windows Defender. Idk what's wrong with this software having being so malicious about; I'll dig about it when there is time. Truth is, this has been picked up by the Defender, like... since 2020 or so. The Defender flagged the Format Factory and its uninstaller as PUPs, but the AVG doesn't ring any bells. Idk why the AVG installed on my PC doesn't seem to ring any bell if FF (Format Factory) is going to be a PUP as if you install a BonziBuddy on your PC. Heck, by the time I want to use it, the executables are gone (of which the system is looking for the files, it seems). I can't uninstall it too since the uninstaller EXE was gone. Probably the Defender took measures without my knowledge...

 Okay, a quick dip announcement; Idk if people still reads my blog, but get this. Somehow I'm getting less and less interaction with this blog because of my interaction with Blaze's Discord server. Not gonna lie, ever since I contributed like... my time spent is dedicated to my love to the Ace Combat community, I've somehow becoming a moderator of that place, observing the conversation of the server channels and report any activity to the other moderators, which are the fellow Ace Combat players such as Knight Valfodr. I spared a bit of my time to post this because, seriously, here goes the new chapter of my life, of which I'll tell you shortly. Judicial Defense By the time I signed up for judicial, the call for the defense was in place before the deadline. Well... it was an ordinary meeting with pre-graduate students like me being called out to have the students' scores mentioned out. Somehow, I kinda liked the end results, but I'm pretty jealous with them tha...

It's real. Someone's already used the mods to make Blaze to think again about his doing on releasing the mod tools to the public. And it's becoming a widespread talk across the Ace Combat community. I told him that releasing the mod tools can affect the entire course of Ace Combat modding, but he said before, "eh, it's fine". Ik this was supposed to be a fun thing for everyone, but it seems like this ability was abused by irresponsible people, purely to ruin the mechanics of multiplayer fun entirely. Not even a week and someone's already abused it. At some point, the day before yesterday, people have noticed about this unknown player coming around and literally f*ck a guy using unlocked PSM, in an F-4E Phantom. Now Ik that this is unusual, and it was a real surprise that the guy he's fighting in, was using Blaze's name. He has given the clarification that he owns only 2 accounts, with one being mistakenly banned by the developer, but not with a...
