<h2>About Me</h2>


==About Me==
<p>I'm a 20 year old University student, currently studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Auckland, currently in the third year of my degree.</p>


I'm a 21 year old University student, having just completed the 4th and final year of my BE in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Auckland.
<p>I have a strong computing background, both from my Tertiary Education and from stuff that I've taught myself.  I taught myself to touch type at around age 14, and I taught myself to write html and css in late 2006 - which lead to me doing html/css work for a Web Design company, [http://www.terabyte.co.nz/ Terabyte Interactive], over the summers of 2006 and 2007.  I've also been taught a small amount of C, Matlab and VB at Uni, and done a bit of C++ in my own time.</p>


I've been involved in modding Bethesda's games since a while after Oblivion was released, but didn't really release much until Fallout 3 came out. At the moment I've released three mods for Fallout 3, but my main contributions to the modding scene have been my scripting tutorials and advice, and my [http://www.cipscis.com/fallout/utilities/validator.aspx Script Validator].
<p>I bought Fallout 3 soon after its release, mainly in the interest of Modding it. My interest lies in the scripting side of things, but I've dabbled in a few other aspects of Modding before.</p>


I plan on contributing to the New Vegas modding community in a similar manner, and have so far released a few mods.
<h2>Current Projects</h2>


My tutorials and validator are all available on my website - [http://www.cipscis.com/ cipscis.com]
<h3>General Scripting Tutorials</h3>


The mods that I've released for Fallout 3 are:
<p>I've recently finished writing the first tutorial in a series of scripting tutorials, aimed at people who want to learn the ins and outs of scripting in Fallout 3.  The tutorial is currently hosted on several forums, and '''BonzoFSP''' has kindly "translated" it into Wiki markup so that it might be hosted here as well.  Here is the link if you are interested - [[Scripting for Beginners]]</p>


*[http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=986 AMPUTATE] - Links certain lootable body parts, like "Deathclaw Hands", with dismemberment
<p>I'm currently writing the second tutorial in the series, and am planning on covering the following topics:</p>
*[http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3729 CASM] (Cipscis' Automatic Save Manager) - An automatic save manager that allows you to forget about saving without ever having to worry about not having a recent save to fall back on if things go wrong
*[http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9767 Melee Lock-On] - Allows you to lock on to actors while in melee combat to make it less frustrating at close range.


The mods that I've released for New Vegas are:
<ul>
<li>
Accessing variables remotely
</li>
<li>
Result scripts
</li>
<li>
Debugging
</li>
<li>
Common problems that can be difficult to track down.  Will probably be expanded into a standalone document at this rate - kind of a debugging FAQ.
</li>
</ul>


*[http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36730 CASM:NV] - A re-write of CASM for Fallout 3 with very similar features.
<p>Later tutorials will focus more on specific tools that are available, such as tokens. If there is anything that you'd like me to include in a tutorial, let me know and I'll do my best to help you.</p>
*[http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36779 Corpse Equip] - A re-write of a mod that I initially released for Oblivion and subsequently made but never released for Fallout 3, this mod allows you to force dead NPC to re-evaluate their apparel, so they won't be permanently naked.
*[http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36882 Melee Lock-On] - A re-write of my Fallout 3 mod of the same name.

<h3>Syntax Highlighting</h3>


I'm a friendly guy, so if you have any questions you'd like to ask me about anything feel free to contact me.  My apologies if I take a while to reply though; I'm really good at procrastinating and horrible at correspondence, which tends to be a pretty unfortunate combination. You can contact me by:
<p>If anyone's interested, I've created a user-defined language in [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/ Notepad++] that provides syntax highlighting for scripts in Fallout 3 (automatically detects files with extension *.fo3 as Fallout 3 scripts).  Here's a RapidShare download link: [http://rapidshare.com/files/187557781/userDefineLang.xml http://rapidshare.com/files/187557781/userDefineLang.xml]</p>


*Leaving a comment here on my user talk page
<p>I will be updating this syntax highlighter with each successive release of FOSE to include any new functions or keywords.  The latest supported version is FOSE v1.</p>

<h3>Adding an Options Menu</h3>
 
<p>I've written a Tutorial for creating a multi-level options menu like the ones that I've used in my Fallout 3 Mods - [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=986 AMPUTATE!] and [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3729 CASM]</p>
 
<p>Here is a link to the tutorial - [[Adding an Options Menu]].  If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know in its discussion page.</p>
 
<h2>Testing</h2>
 
<p>I've found some pretty odd behaviour when testing different things that doesn't yet have a place in the Wiki, due to the fact that I've no idea what's causing it.  I've recorded these bugs here - [[User:Cipscis/Testing]]</p>
