I still live (damn).

[L. Spiro]

Well, I suppose many people on the site here do not even know who I am since I almost exclusively post in the remake forums.

Well, I am just stopping in and checking up on things.  It has been a while.
I post this here because there is no real topic in the remake section for this type of post.

Basically, I am just explaining where I have been, why I have been absent, and what is happening, etc.


Well, I got my start in hacking here, for this remake.
I liked to hack other games too and my interest grew.  I started making my own hacking utilities.
I made some software that allowed me to hack Starsiege: Tribesâ„¢, and I made a universal first-person shooter auto-aim.
It caused some ruckus and Irrational Games asked me to help ensure their upcoming game (Tribes:Vengeanceâ„¢) would not succumb to this type of cheat.

Then I moved to Thailand.
That is where I am now.  In Thailand, I have no computer of my own, so all my projects had to stop for a while.
I connect via Internet Cafés.

Recently I was contacted by id Software regarding the threat my universal auto-aim poses to Doom 3â„¢.  They requested I help them the same way I helped Irrational Games, and in fact, the head programmer for Doom 3â„¢ has invited me to work for id Software.

Of course that is hard without my computer, but we are talking about things currently.
That is the deal for now.
I do not have much time to hack anymore, and when I do have time, my computer is 8,741 miles away.
I may be able to start again if I can have my harddrive sent to me from America.  It has my tools.

Laws in Thailand change in July.  I had a job here but I lost it due to id Software.  I can find another, but if I do not have one by July 10th, I have to leave the country.  I will probably go to Japan and be a pro gamer, using the money from id Software to live.

I have a few friends who are already moving to Japan anyway, or want to go.  We may form a team and be pro gamers.

Japanese women are hot.  Tons of them here in Thailand.  Probably even more in Japan.



My future with this site is uncertain, but if anyone does decide to bump back on the development of the remake, I would still like to work on it also.
Later I should be able to find time.



Um, as for my music, well I have also had to stop on that.  I will buy another keyboard in Japan.  I have my eye on the Yamaha® MOTIF 7 ES.

Well nice progress, working for id software and such ... life is unpredictable sometimes.
wish you would get where you want to. And I would allways burn my sw on some cd and take it with me or upload it somewhere on web. Living without software sucks

Nice to read from you again!

As for that "I still live" thing: Anyone heard something from halkun?

I hear ID software pays really well ... concidering there is only 20 members.

mirex, I did burn it and bring it, but the one day I actually took that disk out of my apartment, I fell asleep in a taxi cab and left it.  Now I have no clue where it is.

I sent a version of my MemHack.exe program to Irrational Games, and thank God for that.  The version on my sit eis not enough to hack Doom 3â„¢, so, without my software disk, the only thing I could do was contact Irrational Games and have them send me the version they had (still not as good as the version on the disk).

I did not think they would use that version to get anywhere hacking Doom 3â„¢ but basically I got lucky.  They used it to find some “hidden” data.  It took 3 hours, but they got it, and if that data could be found, so could the rest.  So that is why.

I guess it does boil down to luck when it gets to that point, but it is unlucky I lost the latest version in the first place.  Oh well; we do what we can.

As for only 20 people, are you sure about that?

About 20 people listed on the site, but that is the Quakeâ„¢ team.  The Doomâ„¢ team is not even listed (or at least for Doom 3â„¢) yet.



Hmmm!  Anyone want to do some underground work for me?
The head programmer for Doom 3â„¢ is Albert O. Nwabueze.  Can anyone verify that?  I have not found his name on any public sites, though he says he can offer any proof of his employment with id Software that I require.  He says he will have something faxed to me from there and a letter from id Software.  Although I trust him (so far everything he says checks out), I would like also some underground investigations.

If anyone has any information, please post.  Also, where is id Software located?
