ImAciidz/README.md
  • 👋 Hi, I’m @ImAciidz - L4D speedrunner with some interest in Portal 2, Half-Life, and Titanfall 2.
  • 👀 I’m interested in learning C/C++ and reverse engineering source engine games (primarily L4D series). My current programming knowledge comes from some high school compsci classes (AP Java and also a class on JS/HTML/CSS, so not much lol). I took these classes in 2017-2019, so I've since forgotten just about everything beyond fundamentals.
  • 🌱 I’m currently learning...well...not much lmao (severe ADHD and a myriad of other mental health issues goes brr)
  • 💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on...probably nothing? the L4D Speedrunning Wiki project which can be found here
  • 📫 How to reach me - Discord is aciidz (formerly aciidz#4686), Twitch is aciidzSR, YouTube is @aciidz
  • Some things are mirrored on my GitLab account
Click here to see a list of programming-adjacent goals/things I'd like to do in no particular order (pretty much everything listed is presently outside of my capabilities, and probably will be for a long time because my brain is tiny)
  • LiveSplit
    • Make a tool that can arbitrarily delete attempts from the history and correct the attempt indexes/count afterward
    • Make a tool that can combine the attempt history of split files
    • Add autosave feature to LiveSplit itself (automatically create backups of split file every x reset/etc, to prevent loss from power outages or crashes, etc)
    • Make autosplitter & load remover for SE:NZA 1/2/Trilogy (if I get interested in running the games again)
    • Have a way to sync loadless timers over the internet (want accurate timers for non-host in L4D2 co-op, but honestly don't see this happening until SST itself does timing)
    • Add alpha(?) transparency so you don't need to key out the background color in OBS anymore (this is probably hard if I had to guess)
  • Source Engine
    • Left 4 Dead 2
      • Reverse engineer infected pathing changes done by Valve during the development of The Last Stand update
      • Figure out how to bypass CEG in earlier versions of the game so that speedrunners can use game files that are more clean/official where applicable
      • idk man there's a lot of stuff lol, see the SST entry below
    • SST
      • Help add more features/fix bugs/etc. Some ideas here
    • Port L4D2 movement to other games for a laugh
  • BOIII/T7x (I am aware the client is defunct, this is mostly for my own personal interest)
    • Fix joining/restarting in zombies causing black screen/softlock
    • Patch in support for >240Hz....why is this a limitation Treyarch ;_; (this is also an issue in AW, MWR, and MW2CR, so if I ever manage to do this, I'd like to fix it on all of them).
    • Fix issue with the XP progress for the current level getting reset when entering stats menu
    • Fix 25 day error (since it was apparently fixed in IW4X, this should be something I have the slightest chance of figuring out how to do?? xd)
  • Discord
    • Make a Twitch/YouTube/etc stream announcement bot that doesn't suck, and doesn't reply on Discord statuses to send notifications (so, actually use the service APIs)
    • Make one of those voice channel generator bots that doesn't lack features and isn't paywalled
    • Make my own bot/service similar to .fmbot (submitting spotify track history to .fmbot only counts towards your scrobbles for as long as you remain subscribed to premium - as soon as you unsubscribe, those imported scrobbles go away until you subscribe again, and I'm not going to pay for .fmbot premium for the rest of my life, so...yeah)
    • Maybe make my own Discord moderation/logging bot (or investigate how they work)
  • OBS
    • Make a script that automatically toggles my gamma filter if the game being captured is Left 4 Dead (2)
  • Other
    • Probably too ambitious, but make an open source version of the program NetLimiter since it went down the toilet (NetLimiter 4 was a lifetime license and no longer available if you don't already have a license for it, 5 is a subscription model, those with a lifetime license for 4 can only use 5 for like two years or something lmao)
    • Also too ambitious, but make a leaderboard site that doesn't suck (and/or contribute to lb.gg)
    • Manipulate Logitech's OnboardMemoryManager to be able to change polling rate/DPI without needing to open the actual program
    • Write something to match all unknown tracks in my full spotify play history with the custom songs in my library in conjunction with data I have from last.fm, in an attempt to create a more accurate listening history to submit to fmbot someday (see Discord bulletpoint)
    • Make my own website/set up a personal Gitea instance
