    This script can be used to replace SAPP's logging system:

    Features:
    - Creates a new file with the current days (os.date("%Y-%m-%d_"))..environment.."Log.txt" (Ex: 10-26-2016_ChatLog.txt)
    - Saves the files into the servers profilepath.."\logs\" (Ex: C:\HaloServer\MyHaloServer\logs\)
    - Each environment has its own log file (join/lead, chat, and commands.)
    - Tracks joining and quitting. (All saved to the date..JoinLog.txt)
    timestamp New001 has joined the server. IP: 192.168.1.130 Hash: t07a1y4r3alh45h timestamp New001 has left the server. - Tracks chat.
    timestamp New001: Im saying words! timestamp New002: Im saying words as well! - Tracks commands.
    timestamp Admin: false Name: New001 Command: /info IP: 192.168.1.130 Hash: t07a1y4r3alh45h timestamp Admin: true Name: New002 Command: /kill *new001 IP: 192.168.1.130 Hash: 4n07h3r6ealh45h  
    I did not include hashes/ip addresses with the chat log because those can be found in the JoinLog (and I presume people cant change their names while in a server.) Yes I know this makes more work for the person looking through these but ctrl+f is a thing and the file looked super messy with it included.

    NOTE: Only works in HaloCE at the moment. (p.s. Its because I don't know how to get sigs.)

  2. Tiamat liked a post in a topic by Devieth in Hit-Scan (Projectile Velocity Modification)   
    This is a simple script that modifies the velocity of all weapons that use 'bullets' to travel their entire lifespan after being shot.  This can remove that pesky 'lead' in no lead servers using big maps.  It can also make the hit-registration feel more responsive. Hopefully this works on custom maps (protected or unprotected) but it relies on the 'hope' that custom mappers kept their custom weapons using Halo's default bullet speeds.

    Note: Will not enable the the mod until EVENT_GAME_START is called. You can use "lua_call hitscan EnableHitscan" if you load the script while a game is already running though.

    I have somewhere around 2.5 years worth of total game hours(had around 2 last I was able to check on Xfire, and it's been quite some time since then...)
     
    Had 1500 hours in Halo Combat Evolved.  2500 in Custom Edition.
     
    Now I have around 1800-1900 hours in Dawn of War 2 and 1600 or so in Dawn of War 1, counting all the games together and my nonsteam versions.  Possibly more.
     
    I think I'm beyond the point of brief recess.
  11. Tiamat liked a post in a topic by TCK in I've given up gaming   
    I usually play mostly one game at a time for a few months (whether it's new or I'm replaying one). Sounds healthy at a glance; but I did the math last night.
     
    I started playing Rocket League (my current game) in late March, so 6 months, 183 days. I now have close to 432 hours, 18 days.
     
    18/183 days is approximately 10% of all my time.
     
    I work 40 hours a week and take 4 classes. I see friends several times a week. I have no idea how I spend so much time playing RL but I think it's time for a "brief recess".

    I would gladly pay money for online multiplayer if I got an experience that was worth paying that extra money. Too bad it never is.
     
    My favorite platform is Steam, and PC gaming in general. While it's never flawless, PC gaming in general is an open market. If Steam doesn't have something I want, I can just use something else.

    When it boils down to it, both candidates are conniving and deceitful in different ways.  Trump disguises his deceit with bombastic rhetoric about his policies that either make no sense or have no chance of actually occurring, but looks out for himself more than any group of people- including the American people as a whole.  His blatant hate speech combined with the sensitivity of a rampaging elephant make poor statesmanship, and, although I don't recall the source, I remember hearing at one point his foreign policy adviser quit because Trump couldn't understand why you shouldn't use nukes if you have them.  Every time I listen to the guy it sounds like I'm listening to someone that needs a few more milligrams on their meds.
     
    Hillary directly and indirectly led to a complete and utter failure of security in Benghazi and royally screwed the DoD, essentially botching her responsibilities.  There's a host of sources that point to her using her term as Secretary of State for personal gain and the benefit of her "charity organization" the Clinton Foundation.  Her email server was a colossal failure of security in every sense.  Her deceit has the air of someone who thinks they're clever and tries to keep their deceit covered up, but instead has no damn idea what they're doing.  She botches half the things she tries to cover up.
     
    Given the choice I'll probably vote Hillary because you know what a thief is going to do, but a madman?  Trump is the very definition of "wild card" in politics.  We've had presidents scheme and presidents that were awful at their job before, and consequently got nothing done, but we've never had Andrew Jackson with nukes.  Nevermind that it requires a sign-off to use a nuclear device; I have no doubt in my mind that Trump could find the necessary signatures.
     
    Ramble, ramble.  That's my impressions of the current political shitstorm.

    Tiamat has the best tl;dr of the whole thing. Both of the mainstream party candidates suck, for somewhat different reasons.
     
    Come November, we're all going to have to hold our noses and vote. God help us all. What a shitty election cycle. I hope 2020 is better.

    I mean sure, let's contrast with Clinton.
     
    I'm rather inoculated against criticism against Clinton because I've been hearing blow-out-of-proportion crap about her since forever ago, and her detractors have a long history of exaggeration and downright witchhunting.
     
    Remember that time she said a rather harmless quote about being career-driven, and it was taken wildly out of context? Way back when she was merely the first lady.
     
    "Looking Back at Hillary’s First 100 Days as First Lady", Vanity Fair, 1993.
    Clearly she's a rabid ultra-feminist who heaps scorn upon the lowly homemakers. /s
     
    But by God, nobody would shut the hell up until she baked some damned cookies. So bake them she did.

     
     
    I feel like Hillary is... not exactly shy, but wary of the media given that they've never passed up an opportunity to drag her through the coals. Even by 1993, commentary like this was relevant:
     
    Benghazi was regrettable, and she's owned up to it. I'm not sure what more people want out of her. I don't care what your career is, if you've been working for a couple decades you are going to make a monumental mistake at some point. I don't think anyone is accusing her of outright malice. Obviously she doesn't want US soldiers to die.
     
    Note that we've wasted spent over $7 million taxpayer dollars on 13 reports, almost two-thousand written pages, and four public hearings. Despite all this, zero investigations found any official wrongdoing. Almost smells like a witchhunt. http://benghazicommittee.com/benghazi-by-the-numbers/
     
    As for the emails, Director Comey found that she was not criminally negligent. If she was still Secretary of State when this was discovered, she may have been fired and lost her security clearance. But she would not have been arrested. I realize that the lack of being able to fire her over this leaves people unsatisfied, but jail is not the answer.
    The difference being that she was trying to make her job easier and not willingly leaking anything.
     
    http://www.wsj.com/articles/fbis-hillary-clinton-decision-draws-comparisons-to-past-prosecutions-1467762367
     
    I like this person's answer on Quora:
     
    People are probably tired of the constant reminders that Colin Powell did a very similar thing... although not as bad I guess.
    When talking about Hillary, the words "hubris" and "arrogance" come up a lot. Also "ambition". They're not terribly attractive adjectives, but... They seem a lot less ugly than the qualities Trump has. She doesn't have to be perfect, she just has to suck less.
     
    As far as self-dealing and misuse of charitable foundations, we can make direct comparisons:
     
    Clinton Foundation:
     
     
    So... people gave money to the charity she helps direct before meeting her while she was Secretary of State. Doesn't sound all that great, I agree. But is it linked to anything? Does she actually profit from Clinton Foundation money, or is it just a "my charity donates more than yours" honor pissing contest thing? I've yet to see any evidence that Clinton Foundation cash finds its way into Clinton's actual pockets.
     
    Contrast with Trump's charity.
     
    Not only did he spend $258,000 of the charity's money to settle his personal lawsuits. He spent ten thousand tax-deductible charity dollars on a goddamn portrait of himself.
     

    Making the world a better place. /s
     
    If Hillary had wasted charity money on a self-portrait, you can bet your ass we'd be hearing about it.

    Are you contrasting these points against Clinton and Johnson as well? Or simply just narrowing in on Trump? 
     
    - Benghazi happened on her watch. She was Secretary of State, our chief diplomat and the party responsible to ensure the safety of of diplomats and embassies. Repeated the embassy staff and Ambassador Stevens requested increased security at the embassy, their pleads ignored. She then purged herself under oath, lying as to why the CIA Outpost and Embassy had been overrun and why US citizens had been killed and captured by Libyan insurgents, blaming a video. 
     
    - Director Comey came out and listed the multitude of violations Clinton committed, as did the Inspector General of the State Department, but AG Lynch refused to pursue charges (Also notice how Bill Clinton visted the DoJ on a Saturday to speak with the AG). There are allegations that her flagrant disregard resulted in the failure of multiple clandestine operations being run by the DoD.
     
    - The Clinton Foundation directly benefited from deals Clinton brokered while Secretary of State, one in particular regarding the Russian mining firm "Uranium One", that holds mining contacts for federal lands in Oregon in Harney and Malheur counties. 
     
    The list goes on, but I haven't time right now to go down it.

    Wow, where to even begin?
     
    To be fair, there has been some effort on behalf of the Hillary campaign to hype up the "fear factor" surrounding Trump. (Which I would expect from a campaign, of course. Trump's campaign has no shortage of fearmongering itself.) So some people are acting absolutely hysterical out of fear.
    But lets look at the specifics.
     
    It's hard to keep ranking events as "worst bad" or "eighth worst bad" etc. when so many drop off the deep end, but for me the #1 unforgivable thing Trump has done is disrespect the Khan family. Any gold-star family that has *lost a son* defending this country deserves to be treated with respect.
     
    Strategically, I would have thought this would be a good chance for Trump to qualify his statements about Muslims. If he had made it clear that American Muslims who serve their country are in his good book, and he's only against the "bad kind" (or something)... I don't know. This particular gaffe even has my very conservative uncle reconsidering his vote.
     
    Secondly, his disrespect for the constitution. For a party that's so vocal about defending the constitution, I have to wonder what's gone batty when their candidate is so willing to flaunt even the very first of amendments:
     
     
    Ideological testing, restriction based on religion
     
    An appealing quote, to be sure. But background testing is already extrememly thorough in order to enter this country. It's not clear to me what could be improved. Blocking people based on religion is not constitutional.
     
    When asked if he would shut down mosques, Trump replied

    :|
     
    Threatening free speech

    What libel laws can the president possibly "open up"? I've never seen a democratic candidate so ready to tear down the media. He reminds me of Erdogan.
     
     
    More lockdown of free speech.
     
    Fourth Amendment.
     
    The Patriot act and NSA wiretapping are already bad enough. Now Trump is saying things like this:
     
    Increased surveillance of mosques
     
    Racial profiling
     
    On 'doing the unthinkable'
     
    The eighth amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment
     

    Aside from the fact that torture is not even all that effective. My father's neighbor works for the FBI, and used to be in the Marine Recon. He told me that, as an interrogator, torture is not useful because they will tell you anything you want to hear, just to make the pain stop. If you want valuable information, put someone in isolation for a while, then be nice to them. Bring them coffee. Humans are social creatures, and they'll blab to anyone who shows them kindness.
     
    Partial quote from someone who I *thought* was a conservative hero, John McCain:

    The full speech is quite good: http://www.mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2014/12/floor-statement-by-sen-mccain-on-senate-intelligence-committee-report-on-cia-interrogation-methods
     
    And let's not forget the time Trump mocked someone for being disabled.
     

     
    How positively Presidential. /s
     
    I'm not afraid of what Trump will do to *me*, I'm afraid of what he'll do to this country.
     
    Yeesh, and I've only covered the basics. Maybe I'll do a second post about his policies (if you can call them that).
