One reason updates have been slow is that my router/modem have been under non stop cyber attacks for years. The DNS gets routed differently(literal wrong webpages load. I can go to Google and end up on some hack page.). Even thought I have DDWRT on my router, it doesn’t let me go to the ip of the router. I disconnected router and my modem has the same effect. I tried a rental modem from Comcast and four different reps say my account is flagged with something they never seen. The first rental modem didn’t connect via lan. The next one keeps reconfiguring itself so I have to keep talking to Comcast and it’s sending weird DNS signals too. You might think my windows is bad, but this is Linux, and I had a fresh install of Windows too.

I reinstalled Windows over 100 times & I restored Windows over 200 times this past two years.

I don’t know who’s launching cyber attacks at me, but I’m inspecting the packets, services and dns routing. I might figure it out. People go to prison for this so they’re risking a lot launching these illegal attacks.

I’ve lost over 2000 hours of development from this. My dev computer now stays offline.

With OLPS: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2023/07/online-registered-mail-patent-optical-local-positioning-system/

If you have an optics detection pattern recognition software running that could identify poison ivy, and they have these now… Then the drone running the OLPS could then mark the position of poison ivy in your yard or golf course. If you’d get more sophisticated, you could attach a deweeding mechanism to remove it.

I know I blur the lines of actual real world research and scifi in this blog. This tech is for real useable in 2023. I’m pitching it to universities to race for a drone that can make OLPS. Now that I can registered mail patent things, I can share my ideas with the world. The patent system is not designed to protect little guys, but to keep the big guys from allowing competition. Ironic how it works. Be prepared for lots of multimillion/billion ideas coming from me.

As far as fictional Starfighter General the game, the update is I’m transfering over about 700,000 piece of AI art and categorizing them crowd sourced to friends… They will be items, aliens, places, planets, stars, anomalies, etc etc. Fun times. The next patch will be the big one, gripping missions that will want you coming back for more, like a good tv series.

Registered Mail Style Patent: Local Positioning System / LPS games

Global Positioning System is a great system, but due to military concerns it is not precise to the centimeter.

For systems where you might want to have a robo mow your grass, plant and maintain a garden, automatically maintain your gutters, collect the mail from the mail box automatically or out door augmented reality games involving precise position of your actual person, you need more precision. So I invented Local Positioning System by Optics

The way this system works is basic hardware:

1) A flying drone.
2) Arduino or other drone robotics controller to interpret code.
3) A downward facing camera with optical recognition software.
4) A tethered attachment to flyin drone underneath it to pick up and drop (possibly an electro magnet for alignment of grasper and mechanical lock once grasped).
5) Colored sphereish pylons the drone can pick up/drop and identify with optical recogniton.

Peparatory Step 1) Program the drone to identify the pylon

You do this by using optical color recognition to position the drone. One solid color on another solid color background is easy for modern computer optics to identify.
You will have a large circle now in memory. You can use the position of this circle to thrust the done left or right, forward or back to position drone over the pylon.
The radius of the circle will give the drone an idea of the elevation height of the drone. Locally to this pylon, the drone already has some local positioning system awareness.

Peparatory Step 2) Program the drone to grasp the pylon

You will do this by:
2a) Positon drone over pylon by the Phase 1 way of knowing position by centering the pylon in the middle of the frame of camera.
2b) Drop the drone’s altitude where the circle is the expected radius of an extracted lift is able
2c) Turn on temporary electro magnet to dock or other sensors, docking handshakes could get complicated.
2d) Once docked, engage a mechcnical lock as to not waste energy in electro magnet and also to have more strength in hold.

Perparatory Step 3) Once a pylon is grasped you can move it.

3a) gain a little altutude
3b) Moving a pylon is done by thrusting left right,forward or back for x milliseconds

Okay now you’re ready to make Optics LPS by Optocs or O-LPS, or OLPS now, or LPS since there is no real other accepted system that does LPS well for now.

Phase 1) Give the drone it’s tools.

Set down 3 pylons of different colors that contrast with the ground. Set them ground by hand somewhat near each other so the drone sees all three when picking up one.

Phase 2) Guestimation setup of a triangle.

The drone picks up one, thrusts a set time forward and a set time right.

Phase 3) Evaluation

The drone drops the pylon, flies up in the sky and examines it’s work. It now has some preliminary the data of how far it travels per the set time.

Phase 4) Attempt to form a more perfect triangle.

With time, the drone will go down and pick each pylon and reposition it until it has a very solid looking Equlilatoral Triangle. Each time it thrusts for X milliseconds, it tracks how far it goes & collects improving and improving calibration data about its self. Used long enough it will know how much distance in meteres it travels if thrusting for X milliseconds. This data helps the drone fly. This equilatoral triangle is the core basis from building an OLPS field.

Phase 5) Building outward with more calibration pylons.

The drone then takes pylons from a resevoir using the equaliatoral triangle as the core. It places each pylon X meteres from the triangle in a square or triangle design. Your OLPS field is now done and you can use it.

How to use:

Video game tag: The drone stays flying up in the sky looking down. The user, say a player of a game might wear another color that contrasts. The drone knows the position of the pylons & their relative size by hard coding. So the drone knows the distance between the pylons and even extending out of pylons somewhat. If the player is playing tag with virtual enemies in game, the OLPS drone will be able to know if the player overlaps with the enemy by position. The player will know the position of the enemies by seeing them in the head set and trying to run away. You could play tag like this, or a virtual Pacman(tm).

Gardening:

Planting:
1) You could have a drone attachment mow the grass down to the roots or run a ground based robotic plow guided by OLPS prepare the earth so less competing weeds for crops.
2) You could plant a garden since you know the boundaries of the garden and got precision down to the centimeter to poke a hole in the soil with a tethered stick attachment, and then deposit seed.
3) Later the drone could stand idle each day, recharging and come out if weather permits, gather water and drop it in each hole.
4) A much later complex version could optically identify weeds from the budding plants being made to deweed them. These later complex drones who can identify plant leaves by type could fly around your permiter of your house(by defined in OLPS) and eliminate all your poison ivy.

You could sell automatic gardners then where you sell a drone, pylons, bins and seeds. The home gardner would just put spacing pylons on the outside of their gardens.

Mowing grass:
1) Similiar to 1 of Planting. Once you identify your permiter, the drone makes a map of your property.
2) In an editor, you can block off the parts you do not want mowed.
3) Whether a drone or robotic lawnmower, it uses this info to mow your grass auto with efficent algorithms that path and learn.
One challenge with a mower would be safety, but the bigger challenge of staying in the yard and off obsticles is solved with OLPS.

VIDEO GAME FOOTBALL:

The drone makes a standard 100 yard field that you scoped out is flat and without obsticles… It doesn’t need lines. The drone drops pylons. You or it replaces them with circle markers you don’t trip on or possibly ecofriendly color spray. Now it knows your positon on 100 yard field. Put a vr helmet and you can see 21 other players, 10 your side 11 their side. Add a gyroscope to know which way you face, and the standard vr dongles can see how well you throw. Suddenly you’re a quarterback in a football game outdoors with virtual players. WOW!

There’s so many other uses to Optical Local Positioning System. I’m glad I can Registered Mail Style Patent now or I wouldn’t be sharing my many ideas with the world. I have had so many multi million/billion ideas but now idea how to protect them since the patent system does the opposite of it’s intent to help the small guys…Instead the patent system rejects small guy’s patents we can barely afford, and allows big players to collect patents on things everyone already knows to keep out small competiton. The system is corrupt, but I found a way by the old registered mail system that I can share my ideas with corporate interests and university researchers.

Video Game DOOM:

Slow enemies you need to run around shooting while you jogged.
Fast ones you need to shoot as a skill shot fast or they get you.
Med, half and half.
ranged, shoot and take cover.
Flying, they dive bomb harass you, pay attention in the air by looking around.

Anyone can use OLPC for free, but I would like a 10% royalty on commercial products, which we can reduce to quite small if you negotiate. I put the 10% out there for those who attempt to illegally use the idea without contacting the author: James Wilbur Sager III

God bless,
Have awesome,

As soon as I get online, I get a virus. I’m not sure if this is due to a cyber attack, the political hacking climate of WW3, AI breaking security, or what… But this year, I had to reinstall windows like 30+ times, and restore like 200 times. Between real life being difficult to get by and my computers non stop reinstalling windows stuff is rough.

I’m uploading my super locked down windows with services and such turned off here. If you email starfightergeneral[at]gmail.com I’ll help you make sense of it:

Heads up, don’t run those if you don’t know how they work, they can hose your machine. For those that do know, hosts in your windows/etc/whatveriscalled directory will stop some malicious cookies, powershelling the services turns off places viruses can hook into, and task schedule kills malicious possibilities.

Pray this week will be fun full of fun stuff. One week ago, house needed to be cleaned hard. Two weeks ago, I suffered from heat stroke a few days. Three weeks ago, fumes from painting. I got lots of design, code done though… The next patch will low key rule.

Hello Starforgers,

I’m statically making the Solar System, aka Sol our Star system before I generally proc gen the galaxy the rest of the way.

I decided that since it is static, it can be the tutorial mission, but we don’t call it that since it sounds lame so we call it the embarking mission. 

—–

The progression will be:

1) Unlock GOPHER tunnels around planet

2) Subwarp to go from planet to planet

3) Warp from system to system

——–

By outlining the missions, I can line it up with progression/patches.

Also the Satellite Trading Buildings should be designed to be relevant.

Before I made the satellite trading buildings, I had to man them with NPCS: So I have  added the Memento NPC system: https://www.starfightergeneral.com/2023/05/its-not-ai-its-better-the-memento-npc-system/

NPCs that have personality, emotion in the heat of battle, stats, equipment and history is important for rolling their decision tree…  I hope the Memento system ends up being almost like real people would interact sans good dialogue.

——-

The next thing I do is get to work on Client/Server:

1) Put in stations I want.

2) Items

3) leveling

4) Put in the first missions.

I have had tons of house work and it’s been so hot. I barely can get progress, but progress is being had, a non stop fight as I work really hard and fight vs diabetes and scrapin by in a place without water. I feel like I’m winning the battle, but it’s relentless fight. I am not funded like Star Citizen, Eve Online, Or Elite Dangerous, but I have techs and exciting storyline/game play that should easily have me overtake them when I get rollin. I gotta go help my mom with housework though today. So while I do that, in the back of my mind, I think I’ll figure out what first buy/sell/interact stations to make… After you get Ponk/Nametag, The Gopher tunnels to travel around Earth’s orbit will open in the patch after next. Okay I have a mountain top view of my next design, it’s time to finalize and code.

Hello,

As you know, this website is partially for my MMORPG, but it’s also a fan page of sci fi and creativity.

I’ll drop some more wow factor about myself and where God’s placed me before I get to the Dune2 fan script:

Dune 2 the video game came out in 1992. I knew RTS was the future. So I trained to think two thoughts at once, and manage my base and army at the same time despite beating the game repeatedly already. I emailed Westwood who made the game,”Make Dune 3. Add regenerating spice and multiplayer you’ll have a hit.” As many of you know Westwood debranded from Dune, and made Command and Conquer. I was correct, it would be a hit. Less people know that Blizzard was under tremendous pressure from this move to not release Starcraft in an inferior form. They did a complete overhaul of the game to what it is today. You can read it on history sites.

Would Westwood been bold to make Command and Conquer without my email of confidence? Maybe… But Blizzard was ready to release a half butt version of Starcraft which would have not gotten big. God places you in neet places in life… I may have been the catalyst domino that helped Starcraft and Blizzard as a whole become what it is today. It’s funny that I was later #1 in the world at every Blizzard game I played, helped them make their anti cheat systems which I called Player Policing and Todd Cadwell later took to League of Legends and renamed it Player Tribunal… That’s a more apt name since some gangsta style players don’t want to be known as police. Okay, extreme arcane video game lore aside, here’s my idea for a Dune 2 movie scene:

Scene Pivotal: …after Harkkonen razed Arrakeen by crashing an Ordos cruiser into the middle of the city then following with dropping shock troops, the Atreides are forced to retreat into the desert, seeking out to join the Fremen again.

Paul Atreides,”We must summon the worms to gain the haste by which we need to both tactically retreat and gain the favor of the Fremen. While I have not fully been taught the technique of convoking them with the chime, we will all perish if I cannot.”

Paul pulls out a gimmering metal chime with adornments holds it above his head as his followers are awed by it’s shine.

A soft rock montage ballad of hope and concern begins

Paul pulls out an accompanying bronze baton and raises it above his head too. The crowd cheers. While holding the chime still above his head, he dramatically takes the bronze baton down then swings up striking the chime once to a clanging sound.

silence is heard. Even he cheering crowd waits, some feel the sound, bending their ear if they can hear something, after a some fleeting moments and a good wait, they look to Paul Atreides confused to their leader

Paul looks dejectedly to the chime and baton and begins to speak,”House Atredies, I have not the training for this. We’re out in this desert and even if Harkkonen wasn’t chasing us with storm troopers, we don’t even have supplies. Unless someone knows how to do this, we’re done. I’m opening this up to discussion.

Bruce played by Christopher Walken speaks up,”Look, you got a dynamite plan to use the worms to win. We have to walk with rhythm to attract the worm.”

the crowd mumbles to themselves

overhead is,”What does that even mean?”

another says,”We’re fricked.”

Yet another,”Who is this lunatic? Is he some sort of lunatic?”

Paul calms the crowd,”Wise sage, what does it mean to walk with rhythm.”

Bruce(played by Christopher Walken),”Worms have class and style. They’re like women. They don’t want rode by someone with no class, no sophistication, no rhythm. When you play. Play like you’re making love to the instrument. Try again.”

the crowd has a couple snorts, muffled laughs and people trying to hold it down, with covered faces

Paul feeling the crowd also as if Bruce is weird, but realizing he’s in too deep with this guy to back down, nods trying to save face and lifts the chime up some and begins a slow yet reserved rhythm. After about 10 seconds he stops

The crowd is looking back and forth to each other with wide open eyes realizing they’re about to probably die in the desert sarcastically smiling at each other

Paul,”The worm didn’t come. That was supposed to work right?”

Bruce(played by actor Christopher Walken),”It doesn’t work for me. I gotta have more worm bell!”

Paul replies,”I tried Bruce! It’s not happening.”

A random stranger from the crowd chimes in,”We’re staring at our only home Bruce. And I think if Bruce wants more worm bell, we probably should give him more worm bell.”

Another guy shouts yeah,”If we’re gonna die, we might as well die laughing. That random stranger speaks for all of us.”

some laughs are heard, and the guy who shouted that got shoved

Paul is half angered, half inspired and begins really going at the chime for almost 30 seconds. Then he stops and throws down the instruments and stares at it like why am I doing this and stops. Paul looks with his head hung sideways at Bruce like a king ready to drop justice. Bruce stares right back in Paul’s eyes… silence looms

Then someone says casually,”The sand is shifting!”

A shout is heard,”THE SAND! It’s moving the worms!”

Bruce(Actor played by Christopher Walken) still staring at Paul directly in the eyes says with a wry smile,”Guess what?!? I got a fever, and the only prescription is more worm bell!”

Paul’s head straightens as he starts banging at the chimes and then a worm erupts from the sand and he jumps off tossing the chimes to Bruce. Bruce plays em like a master dancing as he does, another worm jumps up, and Bruce gets on like he’s riding a break yo’ back bull at a local dive bar while Fatboy Slim’s Weapon of Choice begins playing

I’m sorry if this ruins anyone’s viewing of Dune 2, it’s hard to get ahold of leaked scripts like this. /s

I asked this on Engineering forums:

With Boring Companies that make massive tunnels, it is not difficult to make large underground tunnels with concrete walls. As we start to lose more and more real estate and farm land to housing, it becomes a real issue as our world populates of where to put people. The world has enough food production to feed everyone many times over. As the world scales up, we can feed people easier and easier especially with newer techs, economy of scale, automation and even drone farming is becoming a thing… Farming technology will always outscale our population, hunger is never a problem unless it is engineered like they do in some totalitarian dictator ships to con-scribe the uneducated into their military. Before this goes off tangent, we have enough food production to always feed the Earth’s population, but where do you put people?

In China you have Judge Dredd style dystopia skyscrapers housing thousands of people. And one way to deal with more people is to build up and concentrate them into one place. In Japan, people often struggle to understand how they’d be okay with sleeping in basically a coffin in a box for night with no real cozy place to stay. One one hand, it is great to grow the world’s population since there’s more people to build civilization into the stars, but on the other hand, if we don’t architect proper living spaces, it can become dystopic.

I was wondering about the challenges of making vast networks of underground homes. This doesn’t have to just be engineering problems, but also culturally. I know I love sleeping in the basement because it is more thermally regulated, but others think sleeping underground is creepy. Maybe have to give it a fun cozy name like Hobbit Holing or something. Another cultural issue is that the police do not like it when they have to apprehend a criminal and there’s a vast sprawling underground (literally) network of tunnels they can escape through. It makes isolating someone in their house for capture much more difficult. No natural sunlight would mess up people’s Vitamin D levels, so the people who abode underground would be encouraged to go surface level often or have a tanning bed or something.

I cam here though mostly focused on the engineering challenges: I know of underground housing has problems with concrete rot due to relentless moisture, Could we insulate the concrete with plastics?

Ventilation is an issue. They make CO2->oxygen converters with electricity use, but probably just fans could circulate it from the top down. A nice side effect of CO2->oxygen converters and self sufficiency is that you’d have built in fall out shelters which could improve your country’s security in case of nuclear attack. So many people think when nuclear war happens, it ain’t worth being alive… But lets say after the nukes land, surviving would let you get to another place that is not affected by Fall out. I mean nukes were used in World War 2, and Earth is still kinda nice. WW3 nuking will be way worse, but it might still be worth living after wards, so a fall out shelter isn’t a terrible design bonus… Especially with today’s current events, whoa, lets not go there either.

Lets say we were able to architect abodes that scaled across the nation, but only 50 feet deep. What challenges do you get as you try and get more and more layers of housing underneath the immediate underground. I read that temperatures go up 1 degree Fahrenheit per 30 feet after the first 100 feet… Obviously deep enough it becomes uncomfortable…

I’m no architect though.

What engineering challenges are there to build underground houses?

How do we solve those challenges and the ones I presented such as moisture rotting external concrete?

What cultural and other than engineering challenges are there that I did not present and how do we overcome those?

It seems like a huge idea to build underground personal housing. The more greenspace we have on the surface, the more fossil fuel pollution is abated, bees, butterflies, and fireflies are happy, and such. I tell people these days to let your grass grow longer since Earth is not supposed to be a golf course. Cutting the grass kills flowers so the bees/butterflies/fireflies have nothing to eat. Spraying kills em too. Also less grass cutting leads to less gasoline emissions, saves you money, less empowering of oil companies world wide, and the longer grass as said before will capture fossil fuels pollution in the air, and also make the air more oxygenated which is all health for us.

Can architects discuss how we might start moving cozy houses underground? I’m not sure how I feel about big underground cities… Since one of the fun parts of being underground is your neighbor not judging your actions and living self conscious. Having privacy in secluded areas be it underground, or in the woods in a not so well traveled to glade, gives one peace for you can enjoy the beauty around you without caring what people think about you… Anyway before this waxes any more poetic, I’ll leave ya and wonder what architects got on the idea of starting to build underground homes… I’m interested in hearing from ya guys.

From the dev side, I am making an NPC pool in the Memento System today talked about in my last post. I need this NPC data pool for space stations. I need space stations for the game to be fun. Doubt we have something playable this Saturday. I want it tho, so I’m gonna hermit from friends and get things done these next few days. No crunch, just casual coding, but no distractions.

The Memento NPC system is a way of enemies to have personality and remember what you did, what they did, and combined with heat of the moment emotions – To make decisions. It literally has the ability with reasonable code to accurately simulate how people/aliens/animals would react, build trust, build grudges or mastermind plots against you or others. This system is copyrighted under the same copyright that ensures your code to not be stolen. I will not file a patent, they are not enforceable by little guys anyway, patents only help the big guys so small guys can’t compete(Yes, the system does the opposite of it’s intent).

Before I explain how to code the Memento System, here’s an examples other games:

Imagine Grand Theft Auto 3d. You’re running around punching people, some people randomly punch back, some people run away. Some people get confused and hit more before making a decision. Reactionary stuff players think is amusing, but that’s it, the end. With the Memento System, those NPCS that got hit will remember you punching them. The next time they see you they might call the cops, preemptively run before you get close, announce to others you’re a bad guy, or straight bring their own gang vs you. They remember you because you punched em and they have a Memento of your actions.

Red Dead Redemption might end up getting grudges like Hatfields vs McCoys.

Imagine killing a villager in Minecraft to steal their house and some to run away and come back to ambush you in your sleep.

That’s basic examples, but it gets very very deep, yet is very very simple.

1. MOB STATS
2. Personality sliders (Like Civilization rulers)
3. Heat of the moment emotions (anger, fear, panic)
4. History of events

When you roll what a NPC might do, it takes all things into consideration: Possible likely moves it may do, factored against Mob’s Intelligence, personality sliders relevant to the action, heat of the moment emotions favor X Y Z, and History of Events influence it too. You have the potential to properly simulate a NPC so well that you can’t tell it from a real person… Except it says the same catch phrases when it takes actions.

You have to have a pool of NPC on the server, and as they die of, roll up new ones, for you gotta pool them.

This is super cool, super next level, and everyone’s gotta do it in the future. Want to use the system? I’ll help ya out.

I’ve figured it out by trial and error.

Twitter Algorithms apply view ranking of your next post based on your likes/retweets/comments/reports of others. More likes/reteweets/comments: more visibility. More reports: less visibility.

This is terrible because people game the system spam bot reporting people they want censored.

Also it explains why funny political accounts get seen but other political accounts do not. The funny ones get more likes/retweets/comments.

Enough about the problem, here’s the fix. I designed this about 18 years ago.

The first list is your mainstay, assuming you follow your friends and people of similar interests. If your several of your friends mute the same person, you probably don’t want to see em. You can adjust the slider from 0-100, Low or high could be more people muted, doesn’t matter, depending on how the design is finalized. The same is true for global muting… If someone attracts the world record of most mutes, likely no one wants to see it then… Then you just adjust your sensitivity to that.

It’s very simple, and how it should be done than algorithmically censoring people, since I haven’t gotten uncensored yet. It’s almost like 2018, no one sees my stuff much. but they see it some… I should game the algorithms and start spam reporting stuff I don’t like and just posting fluff for likes but no criticisms.
