For one, I have a in great part different computer now. So very worth noting it's way more powerful.
Yay for cpu-ram-mobo upgrades. Now my once powerful graphics card is considerably below everything else's level xP
As this blog entry is mostly to replace the ye olde previous one, and I'm in a hurry due to rl stuffs, I'm not exactly flowing with ideas, so I'll just drop some suggestions and stuff on overall improvements you can do with your system.
For one, the reason always I prefer local media over streamed video: SVP (Smooth Video Project).
An awesome, easy to use software that... what does it do? Well, to put it on simple terms:
When you play videogames, you want your framerate as high as possible, ideally as high as your monitor can display. But videos generally are fixed to 24 frames per second. On videgame standards that'd be very bad, but we're used to watch movies like that. I'm used to watch movies at 60 frames per second, because that's what SVP does 8-)
Beware though, this program is quite intensive on your hardware, I do not advise you try running it on laptops or older/budget desktops. Ideally you'll want a quad core cpu (pretty much any multicore-happy cpu will do, a powerful 2 (or 3) core cpu or alternatively, a graphics card that's not very old.)
I'll attach pics of the configuration setups that work the best for me later (edit)... eventually?
On another cool thingy: If you have surround speakers you will know that feel of "what a waste" of only having sound from two of your speakers. Well, there's an actually working, actually not messing your audio up, and actually not shareware plugin that fits exactly the needs of us 5.1 speakers users for Foobar2000! By the simple name of Channel Mixer. Surprisingly easy to configure as well.
What else... Well, if you do not know about CCleaner... you should.
Pretty much the same about Defraggler. You'd be surprised about how much of a placebo the Windows Defragmenter is.
Awesome system diagnosis? HWiNFO. There are WAY more sensors and thermometers in your computer than you think.
Used-RAM-o-Meter? MemInfo.
Best of all? Everything I linked there is glorious freeware. Enjoy.

This group has been formed to gather the people who enjoy Japanese anime and all of its facets, to salute the people from the land of the Rising Sun.

waz up! this a group for all the orcs.goblins and ogre fans.there was no group for orcs so i created one. we can share pictures,videos,and talk here...
This is a group for all PC gamers from all gaming generations. From the time of PCs like the Comadore 64 to the modern PCs. By PC i don't mean just Windows...

If the path to salvation leads throught he halls of purgatory, then so be it. join us... Moddb.com
Did you see that phantom titan ingame on Lord Doofus's page ingame? It is just...EPIC!!!
I'm sorry about the Trolling in the past.
You mean the chaosy wall-o-text copypasta?
Not a problem, don't worry too much over it. Everyone does something silly at some point.
I must admit I'm curious as to why would the Emprah go Chaos cultist though.
why?! do you not hear the voices??
If you want real lifelike firey & water effects you ask me & i will send you the simple, easy to use files & you could install into the next patch that will enhance your UA mod 100x to your fans!!!
When i post my next screen shots from my mod, you will see dust clouds stirred up by troops/vehicles & koolest, seems so real, fire & water effects!
Sorry I didn't reply, I'm in a sort of "low season" for DoW and barely (if) visit ModDB. I'll relay your idea to the UA team right now though, never too much shineyz.
My only worry is the very, very bad DoW engine performance and how these visual improvements would affect framerate however. Hopefully this can be implemented without a significant performance loss.
Hello R-B! I have some small simple to use kick @zz graphic enhancement files & packages that you could put into your UA mod to make it appear 100x AWSOME! So when people dl your UA mod they are going to be thrilled & excited by a spectacular game! If you like them, pm me...its free!
Yeah, that's doable. Vanilla has much tighter caps however, you don't get to spam superheavies and Leman Russes there, at least just 1 Baneblade and 2 russes are enough for what you have in mind, we'll need a mod for increased caps.
Send me the files via PM, I purposely don't post my email address to avoid spam bots.
Ah! I'm kind of busy with a conjunction of real life, the UA mod and miscellaneous stuff lately, tell me by when you want the screenshots taken too, otherwise I'll postpone it forever xP
I dont want to compromise your email address now that wierdos are coming out of the woodworks here, darn them! Well i looked at your pic & decided to give it a go. I am only allowed to upload 25 mb max by email & files are too big but i have an idea, thanx anyways.
