Hi, I'm Jeff Haynes, a long-time RTS enthusiast, Economist, and Mathematician. Aside from my profession, I work a lot in games, and have released a few titles in minor contexts including some house rule sets for RPGs and design dreams for RTS games.

I thought about it today that for my generation probably the most important contribution I had made was one in the D20 genre. My friends and I worked up a system called Threshold which delineated against the traditional Crit system in RPGs. Tons of players hate losing a level 12-16 character to a 1-shot off a 19-20 3d8/4d8. For a while we used a 2x system but it didn't really appeal to us because high health characters never bottomed out.

As far as real literature I dont know any specific contributions ^^;;

Anyway, I'm Jeff, and it is nice to meet you all.

Mr.Pete-Tong

Hi jeff welcome here to this RTS loving site.. Im a huge RTS fan aswell i do love pvp mostly rather than a single mod rpg game/map. My biggest contribution is Desert strike Classic which i worked extremely many hours on.



A Legendary Map Maker, Player. Apparently im more than intresting to observe Irl

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

NudeRaider -- Symmetry
Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
