no worries, i've sent an invite..

definitely a powerful program, but one of the more frustrating programs to use.. i don't recommend it for people who just want to quickly convert something.

for a better UI experience, try MediaCoder..

By far the most convoluted download link I've ever had the pleasure to find.  It's been that way forever.  It's almost as if they don't want you to download the file!

+1 imagine if you're in a hurry..

anyway, i go to FileHippo.com to download it..

• http://www.filehippo.com/download_super/

if anyone wants to get together for some alien hunting, join the DoCo Steam group..

• http://steamcommunit...groups/DonationCoder

But with the release of it as a free game, I'll totally be playing this. Any one up for a game when it launches?

-p3lb0x (July 17, 2010, 02:00 AM)

yes, with this being a free game, we can organize a DoCo game!

btw, the release date was pushed back one day.. cue Valve time.

nice pics, have you met any DoCo members yet? ironic that the host venue's internet speed is poor given that they're hosting an event for the software industry.

well, here's version 2.. among the new features are:

1. countdown beep (wav or mp3), you can set this in the INI file.
2. countdown timer is now stoppable.
3. images/sounds (yay!). i've put in a text file in the respective folders, explaining how they work.
4. basically the order of preference are like this:
   a) images: png, jpg, bmp
   b) sounds: wav, mp3
 
5. the images will disappear as the counter changes but you can also press 'Esc' to close them.

i hope i didn't break anything, please try this out and let me know. and thanks to Chessnia for his feedback and testing.


note to self:
items (3) and (7) on the todo list

Valve is getting quite generous these days. Alien Swarm can be downloaded for free from Monday onwards. (July 19, 2010). not sure if this is time-limited or indefinitely free.

Alien Swarm is a game and Source SDK release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community.

Available free of charge, the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics. With your friends, form a squad of four distinct IAF Marine classes. Plan your attack using an unlockable arsenal of weapons with countless loadout configurations against a wide variety of aliens. Blaze your way through an overrun, off-world colony, eradicating the alien infestation in environments ranging from the icy planet's surface, to a subterranean lava-flooded mining facility.

Along with the game get the complete code base for Alien Swarm that features updates to the Source engine as well as the SDK. Alien Swarm adds 3rd person camera, depth of field, improved dynamic shadows and a wide variety of gameplay additions to the Source engine.

• Tactical, 4 player co-op action game with a top-down perspective
• Complete game code and mod tools
• Unlock persistent items by gaining levels
• Over 40 weapons and equipment with countless loadout configurations
• 4 unique classes and 8 unique characters
• Matchmaking, Steam Cloud, Steam Stats
• 64 achievements
• Tile-based map generation tool
• Powered by Source and Steam

• http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/

I use Ctrl+`. It's quite convenient as it does not require looking at the keyboard (I could not do e.g. Win + function or Pause like that) and still does not interfere with my more frequently used shortcuts (I use it a lot, but not as often as my "work" cuts).
