Topic: [ITW] Discord block
Forum: In-The-Works Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2024 12:29 pm Subject: [ITW] Discord block
There is a small update coming shortly for the Discord block to address some of the errors that have been happening with it. I am also going to do some changes to improve upon speed and reporting when Discords API goes temporally down. If there is anything that anyone can come up with that they would like added or changed, let me know.

I updated the first post. I installed a few more mods to get more mechs in the game. Yet Another Equipment Collection, Yet Another Clan Mech, and Yet Another Special Variant were added to allow me to have more mech varients.
If any of you play and want to do some co-op, hit me up.

A lot of you have been asking if I’m okay and where I’ve been. Well, I’ve been holding off saying anything because I didn’t have all the info and, honestly, things have been pretty chaotic. But I figure it’s time to fill everyone in on what’s been going on—and where I’m heading from here (spoiler alert: I’m staying). Sorry to disappoint anyone hoping I’d leave so they could snag my work, change the credits, and not have to worry about me calling them out. J/K. 
:P
For those who know me well, about 7.5 years ago, I had severe liver failure. At the time, the cause was unknown. After a bunch of blood tests, they figured out I have a genetic disorder called hemochromatosis, which basically means my iron levels were off the charts—like 14 times higher than normal. This was wreaking havoc on my liver. Over time, I had to see some nurses and go through what I like to call the "vampire treatment." They’d drain my blood using a massive needle. After about 8 months of this, my iron levels came down, and my liver started to recover.
Fast forward to June of this year. I wasn’t feeling great, so I got tested again, and my iron levels were back up, not as high as before, but still way above normal. I also kept getting infections and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So, I started treatment in July, and while I’m kind of getting better, it's been slow and tough. I see my oncologist/hematologist tomorrow to check my progress.
On top of all that, in late July, right before my birthday, my mother got really sick and ended up in the hospital. For about two weeks, we weren’t sure if she was going to make it. She’s been fighting cancer since 1997, and she was on her last treatment option. The situation was dire, but weirdly, it turned into a bit of a blessing in disguise. While treating her for extremly severe dehydration (thanks to the cancer treatment), pneumonia, and eventually COVID, it looks like her cancer stopped progressing. She was in the hospital for three weeks, then moved to rehab, which was its own nightmare. She’s doing better now, but these are likely her final months or years.
As her medical proxy, I’ve been handling all her treatments, on top of managing my own health issues, treatments, and dealing with constant fatigue from both liver failure and diabetes. It’s been a rough ride, especially trying to figure out how to pay bills through all of this. Only a few people outside my family and close friends knew what was really going on. I’ve confided a little to some of you on Discord but kept things vague since I didn’t have all the details myself.
So, where does that leave me with HSX and Xtreme? I’m sticking around for as long as I can, but I won’t be as active as I used to be. Honestly, as I write this, I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. It’s hard to find the energy to code or even get motivated to upgrade my site—which I still haven’t done, by the way. I barely have time to play a few games, but gaming has been helping me get through all this, so that’s why I’m still gaming a bit.
As you might have seen in a previous post, I’m not completely inactive. I’ve been playing around with scraping Steam to show upcoming games and built a section that scrapes all current sales. I’m thinking about turning that into its own module, but I’m also open to just sharing what I have so others can take it and run with it. Not really sure yet.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be setting up a test site where I’ll update my modules and make sure they work with the latest version of Xtreme. If anyone has suggestions for new features, I’m open to ideas. I still want to finish and implement that avatar mod. We’ll see how things go, but for now, I’m back—sort of. I’m not at 100%, but I’m here enough to be “in action,” even if it’s just a little.

I was wondering if anyone plays this game and if so, do you use any mods?
The first day I had the game, I played for a bit and felt the colors were a bit washed out, and wanted to see if they allowed modding. To my surprize, the game not only supported it, but set is place what I feel has been a great addition to modding with the listing showing. I know it's nothing new. I mean, look at Left 4 Dead 2 for an example. I don't remember if 1 had the same system.
Well, if you do play this and do use mods, what mods do you use and like?
Here is a list of the ones I use ATM.
I would love to go into details on what all these mods do, but it's just too much to say.
If you use this list, you will see some that say they conflict with another mod. For the most part, they seem to work fine. The order I have them listed is the order that I have them in my mods list. There is a mod out there that allows you to set a load order I guess for the mods. You can find that here:
Overall, these are the mods I use for overall better visual effects and make the game look cleaner. Also allows more varients of mechs and more weapons/equiptement. I do have all the DLC for the game so I don't know if this will effect any of the mods I use.
Well, if you are using mods, which ones?

- Reshade - This one really isnt a mod per se, but more of a inhansment for visiual improvements. I am still tweaking this one a bit, and did take me a little bit to figure out where to upload a custom .ini I found on Nexus mods, (I didn't end up using it for it was too much). If the one I finish is liked, then I will post it for others to use if they want to. -

Thanks, not sure what to do with it yet.
Just picked up from where I left off in the first post, and scraped what I could for the games on sale and now, not sure what to do.

Forum: PC & Codeing Talk Posted: Sun Sep 15, 2024 4:53 am Subject: Re: [ SCRIPT ] Steam Upcoming Releases
Hey everyone, long time no speak. For those of you that don't know, I have been away dealing with family issues. I will talk more about that in another post when the time is right, but I did have some time this morning to mess with this a bit, mostly since I feel a sleep around 6pm last night and was up at 2:30 this morning, and I was courious on what games were on sale on steam. Then I got thinking about this script and I decided to write on a new section to this:
What it does is, every 24 hours, as long as someone visits it, it will grab the top 100 up coming games, or the new section I wrote, which will grab the list of all games on sale, at least up to a max of 200, well, I am testing the limits atm. Right now, it only seems like there is 97 games on sale at the time of writing this, so I can only comment that I know at least there is up to 100 game son sale since that is the limits I have set for the up coming games to be released.
This is more of a just a side thing, but if anyone wants the script, or me to write something into a block/module with similar information, I should be able to do that. I may also update the script to all updates every 12 hours vs 24 hours, but we'll see.
Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

This is just another big corp, that lies, and deceived their customers just for more money. This is something that we are also seeing in our cars as well. A new investigation found that GM, Honda, Kia, Subaru, Hyundai and Mitsubishi are tracking drivers' data on everything from when they drive to how hard they hit their brakes. I am sure other companies are doing it as well, especially with all these companies trying to get their "self-driving" up to par. Even though some of the companies say they don't collect this, or don't store that, it has been found time and time again that they are full of shit. This is why I am an advocate for people to give as little information as they can to any companies that ask for it. Only give what they need and nothing more, especially if it's sensitive info like a SS number.
