\"Streams<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been streaming nearly every day for around four years<\/a>, so you may be wondering why you’re not seeing any Omni streams<\/a> as of late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Omni finally calling it quits? Giving up? Nope! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New things are afoot, my friends…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streams on Hold Until Vision<\/em> App Is Developed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though my stream may not as be as popular as it used to be<\/a>, I have zero doubts that the Omnified<\/a> content I’ve been making for you all has been my best work I’ve ever produced in terms of creativity and entertainment value. It’s something I’m truly proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to bring into reality the next stage of Omnified content with the integration of a growing (higher-level) technology stack that I’ve been transplanting from my private library into a public repository<\/a>. Using this technology stack, we’re going to elevate the Omnified experience to insane levels with an application that shall come to be known as Vision<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is named Vision<\/em> because that’s exactly what it does: it gives you vision or sight into the inner workings of a game. In our case, we’ll be looking into hacked game data mined by Omnified processes that is of interest to us. And, it will be doing so in a beautiful fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, hacked Omnified game stats are displayed on stream using a very primitive interface. This interface is essentially a window capture of Notepad++ opened to a file being maintained by a LUA script executed by some assembly code injected into the target game binary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can imagine, this results in a rather uninspiring look and presentation for said stats; also, due to technical limitations with OBS and how it displays text originating from files across a network (long story), the stats only update in intervals of 3 or so seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hacked game stats are displayed in a very primitive fashion currently.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There’s very little I can do to customize how the stats look when I’m basically forced to use a text editor as the presentation source. It’s hard to read and also requires a semi-transparent background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, that update delay interval sucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision<\/em>: Beautiful Game Data Presentation on Stream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be flexing some C# and WPF expertise to make Vision<\/em>, an independent application which will act as a transparent screen overlay that will support modules purposed for the displaying of different types of Omnified game data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shows

The first module is going to be Vision.Statistics<\/em>, for the display of Omnified exported\/hacked game data. You’ll be seeing the game stats on stream as they actually are in real time. A whole lot of other really sexy looking effects that will “accentuate” what we’re looking at will be getting thrown in as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No spoilers…but it’s going to be amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the work on Vision<\/em>, I’ll be formalizing an Omnified exported game file schema and mechanisms that will export the assembly-mined data into some nice JSON for easy reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apocalypse event log will also eventually get a Vision<\/em> module (although the jury is still out as to whether that’ll be right away, or after another Omnified game or two).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Streams While I Focus on This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Streaming has become a very familiar habit to me — however, I must put a pause to it so I can focus all energies on making Vision<\/em>. The Omnified experience can’t continue to evolve without this, and it’s only the first of a few products that I plan to add to this Omnified ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long will this take? I don’t know. Could be weeks; could be over a month. But, I’m going to get this done first, and then when I’m back, you’re going to see some super polished and insane stuff the likes of you’ve…well, never seen before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your patience, I look forward to making folks laugh and whatever else it is they do while watching as soon as I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
