Commandos Windows 7 64 bit

Struggled to get this to work properly but found some solutions that might be helpful. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

1)
To get it to save, obviously run the comandos.reg to modify the registry. Then what you need to do it add the following three lines to Comando.cfg in the OUTPUT folder:

.SIZE [ .INITSIZE 3 ]
.PROFILE [ .USER 0 ]
.DEVELOP 1

After doing that my saving and loading works perfectly.

2)
To get the game to run at the proper speed (the fast speed doesn't really bother me too much, but here's the solution nonetheless), download Advanced Game Loader from here: http://www.sven-of-nine.de/site/doku.php/downloads

Then run that program and go Options -> Add Game to create a new entry for Commandos. Then in the options tab add the Commandos execuable (e.g. C:\Games\Commandos\Commandos.exe) and then at the bottom there's a ticker to choose by how much you want to slow down the CPU. This value will obviously depend on your CPU but it should be easy to get a nice value with a bit of fiddling.

Java baseurl

PHP has a simple function baseurl() for the same functionality I didn't find an easy equivalent in Java. the one I manage to search is the following.

String requestUri = request.getRequestURI();
String requestUrl = request.getRequestURL().toString();
String baseUrl = requestUrl.replace(requestUri, "");

Project Party at Amoeba

For 2k10 last quarter project party we went for bowling in Amoeba and then dinner in Pizza Hut, both in Jayanagar 4th Block. It is a lot of fun with you are in numbers around 20+ and the per head cost is also quite reasonable as it comes to around Rs 325. The only issue is that if your office in in e-city then you don't have a direct BMTC bus to 4th block and you have to place your own transport.

Ubuntu Line in Playback Note working ?

Can't hear audio which is routed into your PC's line level inputs? That's because said inputs are muted by default in Ubuntu

To un-mute the line level inputs: Launch the Terminal (Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal), type alsamixer at the prompt, and then tap the Enter button on your PC's keyboard.

You'll see what you have to do to un-mute your PC's line level inputs (your keyboard's left & right arrow keys navigate, the up & down keys increase & decrease levels, and the 'M' key mutes & un-mutes the selected audio input(s) or outputs).
