This is my website, it has information on the various stuff I work on. I finally got around to making the site look nicer / easier to manage by putting it into Drupal. This text is now inside fourteen divs.

Most of the pages have a link at the bottom which will let you leave any comments you may have, any and all comments are appreciated.

Recently Updated Things

STALKER SoC AMK Too Dark?

STALKER with the AMK mod runs very dark by default (or at least it did when I installed it) and the flashlight did basically nothing. I made some changes to the lighting settings as below. I don't remember what the defaults were when I installed, but as I recall, tone mapping (i.e. HDR) was switched off entirely which was the majority of the problem. There is already documentation out there on most of Stalker's console options, this just covers tone mapping specifically as some are undocumented and it took me a lot of playing with them to get good settings figured out.

Breeding Calculator

My ARK Breeding Calculator calculates timings and food requirements for raising baby creatures in ARK. This page is to hold any comments on the calculator and provide some background. This page was written as of V224.2 of ARK. Implementations of all the calculations discussed below can be found in the Breeding Calculator.

Source code can be found here. Commits now serve as the changelog.

To Do:

Snapping Generators to Cables

Generators in ARK currently do not snap to existing electric cables. However, they can still be connected to existing cables, as demonstrated in this video: Youtube. To successfully do this, the following steps must be taken:

Map App

My Ark Map App allows you to easily record locations in Ark. This page is for comments on the app.

Source code can be found here.

No longer being updated.

To-Do (No guarantees / timeline):

  • Map images for The Center
  • Password-protection of map editing
  • Default marker size for each layer
  • Deal with deletes better
