As of today, Biolizard89: L33t Programming Projects, Etc. is now known as Viral Electron Chaos Laboratories, AKA VECLabs! I mainly did this because I wanted a new theme, and because change is good. But the lack of trademark issues with the new name is good too, seeing as The Biolizard is owned by Sega, and that would mean that anything connected to the Biolizard name wouldn’t be usable for commercial purposes. So, my username will continue to be Biolizard89, but the site will be Viral Electron Chaos Laboratories (AKA VECLabs) from now on.

GCARS-CS Recorder v0.5.2 has been released.

* 0.5.2
Multiple PadSim players are now supported, and PadSim should now work with PC players
other than P1.
Sending large amounts of data should now be much more reliable. Errors will be shown
on the Status Bar so that you can see if your packets are getting eaten by Winsock.

* 0.5.1
Now works with Joysticks that don’t generate events, e.g. PPJoy Virtual Joysticks.

much easier.

Biolizard89 GCARS-CS Recorder v0.5 is released and confirmed to work! New features include script poke and freeze, pad data poke, and DirectInput PadSim! DirectInput PadSim is very preliminary, though, so feel free to try it out, but don’t complain when it doesn’t work. Download it!

I haven’t mentioned this here, but I’ve transferred to a different Botball team. The 2008 season started at the beginning of January, and we’re hard at work preparing for the regional tournament on March 1. For obvious reasons, I can’t post details here on what we’re doing, but I think we’ve got a great strategy, great bots, great engineers, and great programmers, so we should do pretty well.

I have been working on some stuff that will be posted here (hopefully soon; I’m just awaiting beta tester reports). This is unfortunately not related to the aforementioned Secret Project, which has been on the back burner for months. I think the stuff I’ve been doing will be of interest to people, though.
