OK guys - I know I got a lot of contacts, emails, and a few comments that got stuck in the spam filter regarding the location of the CoD4statseditor14.rar file I had mentioned earlier - it looks like the site serving the stats editor it got itself delisted from Google - my guess is for being overly spammy and having pop-unders…

At any rate, you can now download the Call of Duty 4 Stats Editor v1.4 from GameCopyWorld - still somewhat spammy, but definitely working.

Good luck guys! Hope none of your lost your CoD stats over the holidays.

    Looks like some one has finally done it… I got wind today that there is a full-featured stats/ranks/perks editor in the wild for Call of Duty 4 v1.4

    More info on this as it comes up, but I haven’t heard anything about a new CoD4 update, and apparently punkbuster doesn’t catch it…

    FYI - the filename is cod4statseditor14.rar

    Good luck trying to find it!

    UPDATE!

    I was able to find a copy of the file floating around. It contains a text file which reads as follows:

    1 Private First Class 0
    2 Private First Class I 30
    3 Private First Class II 120
    4 Lance Corporal 270
    5 Lance Corporal I 480
    6 Lance Corporal II 750
    7 Corporal 1080
    8 Corporal I 1470
    9 Corporal II 1920
    10 Sergeant 2430
    11 Sergeant I 3000
    12 Sergeant II 3650
    13 Staff Sergeant 4380
    14 Staff Sergeant I 5190
    15 Staff Sergeant II 6080
    16 Gunnery Sergeant 7050
    17 Gunnery Sergeant I 8100
    18 Gunnery Sergeant II 9230
    19 Master Sergeant 10440
    20 Master Sergeant I 11730
    21 Master Sergeant II 13100
    22 Master Gunnery Sergeant 14550
    23 Master Gunnery Sergeant I 16080
    24 Master Gunnery Sergeant II 17690
    25 2nd Lieutenant 19380
    26 2nd Lieutenant I 21150
    27 2nd Lieutenant II 23000
    28 1st Lieutenant 24930
    29 1st Lieutenant I 26940
    30 1st Lieutenant II 29030
    31 Captain 31240
    32 Captain I 33570
    33 Captain II 36020
    34 Major 38590
    35 Major I 41280
    36 Major II 44090
    37 Lt. Colonel 47020
    38 Lt. Colonel 50070
    39 Lt. Colonel II 53240
    40 Colonel 56530
    41 Colonel I 59940
    42 Colonel II 63470
    43 Brigadier General 67120
    44 Brigadier General I 70890
    45 Brigadier General II 74780
    46 Major General 78790
    47 Major General I 82920
    48 Major General II 87170
    49 Lieutenant General 91540
    50 Lieutenant General I 96030
    51 Lieutenant General II 100640
    52 General 105370
    53 General I 110220
    54 General II 115190
    55 Commander 120280

    And the program allows you to set the numbers for:

    • Score
    • Kills
    • Headshots
    • Assists
    • Streak
    • Death
    • Experience Points (CoD4 XP)

    Seems like this lil nugget is brought to us by a team called “BONER” - thanks you wankers!

    So basically this is the same as the Tsearch level-up stuff we had talked about when the game was released, but includes many other parameters to change. The tool will read current values for the items mentioned above, and allows you to change them while playing. Once you perform one of the tasks - headshot, assist, kill, etc., the value will go up a point, and when you have it set just below the mark needed for XP perks, or challenges, it will give it to you. You just need to exit the game, re-join another online game and go from there.

    As has been reported in our comments, the easiest for XP is a free-for-all server, say one with 50 players max.

    As for headshots, try a few sniper servers.

    Happy Call of Duty 4 cheating!

    This is a list of my favorite Windows applications that I honestly couldn’t live without that also work on Microsoft Windows Vista RC as well, much to my surprise. All of the software is free to download and use, and in fact most of them are open source.

    ConTEXT - ConTEXT is a free and lightweight editor for programming or can be used as a notepad replacement. ConTEXT supports find and replace in multiple files at once so changing one method in loads of files is no longer an issue. Works in Vista with no problems whatsoever.

    Synergy - Synergy is like a software KVM, but only shares keyboard and mouse capabilities. Synergy is multiplatform, and I currently use it to have my keyboard and mouse work in Ubuntu, Vista, and my Mac Mini running Leopard with no problem at all! This way I get to use my favorite keyboard and mouse and get to free up some space on my desk at the same time.

    VLC - VLC has been my favorite media player for years now. VLC comes with most of the codecs you will need to watch videos on your PC already. VLC is very lightweight, and JUST WORKS, something that can’t be said about many media players. The only issue with VLC in Vista is that it turns Aero Glass off while it is playing.

    FileZilla - I use FileZilla to interface with clients that still haven’t moved to SCP. FileZilla is an open source FTP client that gets the job done, supporting drag and drop, SSL, and NAT to NAT connections. The only thing it is missing is FXP support, but that’s not really a big deal in my case. Works fine in Vista with no problems at all.

    IMGBurn - I love IMGBurn. This is hands-down the easiest way to burn .IMG, .ISO and BIN/CUE disk images to backup CDs or DVDs. Free, open source, and awesome. Works a treat in Microsoft Vista Beta 2 as well.

    WinSnap - I use WinSnap to make many of the screen shots you see on blandname. WinSnap supports full screen and windowed screen shots, and also allows for rotation and drop shadows if you feel the need.

    Electric Sheep - I often refer to Electric Sheep as “the best screensaver ever”, but truth be told, it’s really a collection of computer-generated screensavers that allow users to vote on them using a Digg-like system. On Windows, Electric Sheep uses bit torrent to transfer the sheep data. Again, working just fine in Vista!

    Xming - Xming is my prefered interface to remote Linux boxes. Xming is for Linux what RDP is for Windows - you get a local X server and acceleration that displays data from remote applications running on Linux machines. Tested more than a few times to a remote Ubuntu computer, and one Gentoo box with no caveats.

    WinSCP3 - SCP is now my preferred file transfer method. Luckily my favorite client also works on Vista, or I may not have used it at all. Much like FileZilla, WinSCP3 has a very simple, streamlined interface that is feature-rich and gets the job done, even on Vista.

    So there you have it: 9 free applications I couldn’t live without that work just fine on Vista, and make it easy for me to do my day-to-day tasks. Hopefully someday this list will include F-Spot and Amarok, but I’m happy with this as a start considering neither of them work on Windows XP SP2 either!

    Prototype.js is a very popular AJAX framework used when building dynamic websites. You will find Prototype in most Ruby on Rails projects as it is included by default, and for good reason; Prototype.js is a great library that includes a lot of functionality.

    Unfortunately it is rather large in size, weighing in at roughly 50KB.

    Although many have managed to reduce the file size of Prototype by paring down the code and gzipping the file, we’re going to use an additional tool to approach the problem, one from the Mozilla foundation that appears to work very well - Rhino.

    (Oh, in the interest of full disclosure, I am a Java fanboy, having studied at a university that got a lot of Sun funding back in the day. I hope you can see past that and check out this Javascipt hack, I really do.)

    An informative quote from the Mozilla page for the Rhino project goes like this:

    “Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. It is typically embedded into Java applications to provide scripting to end users.”

    Alright then, so what you have is a Java bytecode version of Javascript that will work in most browsers.

    Sounds interesting, let’s see what we can do with Protoype.js!

    I decided early on to use a Rhino tool that I found on the Dojo site that allows me to compile Javascript and make it Rhino compatible. The page give you a brief walkthrough and some examples on how to use the tool, so I won’t need to cover that here in detail.

    So we compile our Prototype Javascript file, let’s see what our results are then, shall we?

    Before: 47445

    After Rhino: 32716

    After Rhino and gzip: 9454

    So it’s at about 9KB now!

    In order to utilize the new file, upload it to the directory that houses your original Prototype javascript file, then any instances of prototype.js in your code to prototype.jgz (zipped javascript).

    You’ll also want to change your .htaccess file so that you handle the new script properly by typing pico (or nano or vi or what-have you) .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ".*Safari.*" [OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} !gzip
    RewriteRule (.*)\.jgz$ $1\.js [L]

    AddType "text/javascript;charset=UTF-8" .jgz
    AddEncoding gzip .jgz

    You’ll notice here that we’re doing user agent detection for Safari. When I did my testing it seemed to be spotty, so what we’re doing is falling back to javascript if we see that the user is using Safari. We’re still compatible, and the code works everywhere else.

    If you’re like me, you have many computers that you connect to remotely when away from work, or home, using RDP.

    The easiest way to connect to all of these computers (aside from setting up a VPN) is to change the default port on which Windows will accept RDP connections.

    Since things have changed a bit in Microsoft Windows Vista, here is how to change that port:
    Click on the Start button, and navigate to accessories. From there, clik on the Run icon. Once the Run applet has started, we’ll enter the good ole regedit command. It still works like a charm!

    Within the registry editor, navigate to:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\
    Terminal Server\WinStations\EH-Tcp

    We want to change the registry key PortNumber in order to modify the default port. The default port is 3390, and I normally use ports in the 338x range, so double click on the key, check the decimal setting, the set the “Value data” to 3389.

    Click OK, then close Regedit, and connect from a remote PC.

    Note: you may want to create a firewall rule for port 3389 in order to allow connections.

    With computers being as powerful as they are these days, I often find myself distracted by the many applications I have running at the same time, even though I really want to be writing, or at least should be writing.

    Enter WriteRoom (now in 1.0), a full-screen text editor that reminds me of WordPerfect 5.0 - what used to be my favorite text editor back in the day.

    WriteRoom

    As you can see from the spartan screenshot - in zoom or full-screen mode WriteRoom completely abolishes taskbars, menus, popups and other things that will get in the way of your writing tasks and the best part is it actually works.

    WriteRoom supports cut, copy, paste - you know standard stuff. It also can spell-check as you write, and you can perform manual spell-checking in the case that automated spell-checking gets in your way. Rounding off the list, the minimal editor supports AppleScript, right-to-left writing, and speech-to-text, and of course printing. Pretty full-featured for a free editor, and encompasses most of the features that have Mac users scrambling for a copy of Microsoft Word.

    For you Windows people out there, you can always download DarkRoom, the Windows equivalent of WriteRoom that is also totally free.

    If you run Ruby on Rails apps, or a Typo installation on Dreamhost, you may have noticed that you cannot access your stats page. Here’s the code that will get it running, quick and dirty, and have you poring over stats for HOURS!

    You’ll want to login to your server using SSH, then edit the .htaccess file in your public folder, from within your home directory. Here’s how I did it as an example:

    # pico /ruby.doesrails.com/public/.htacess
    

    Cut and paste the following code:

    # This is the stats rewrite rule for use with Dreamhost
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/stats/(.*)$ [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/failed_auth.html$
    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
    

    (select the code, use CTRL+C on windows, or APPLE+C on a Mac, then to paste use SHIFT+INSERT on most SSH clients, or simply right-click and select paste from the menu)

    You can put this anywhere in the .htacess file and it should work, as long as it is after the

    RewriteEngine On
    

    rule that already exists.
