You should also check out Shifter (if you haven't already). The latest versions fix a number of the AI bugs previously present in the unreal scripts, adding better detection of stealth, better aiming, enemies actually using items, etc. There's also another project that fixes even more of the AI bugs, making them much more aggressive, as well as smarter about finding you. It's based on shifter. Wish I could remember the name of it, but if you're interested, I suggest looking around on the internet for a bit.

HDTP fixes a lot of the models to look considerably better.

Also, check out Deus Ex: New Vision. It's a complement to the HDTP project.

Submission + - Cheapest way to setup 150 computers temporarily?

justanotheritguy writes: We need to provide a web-browser, keyboard, and mouse to 150 people at a convention every so often. Currently we rent laptops and set each one up on a wireless network and they all run IE and access a webserver running on the internal network. Renting all the laptops is expensive and not very reliable.

With all the new technology out there, I'm guessing there are new options for doing something like this we're unaware of. What alternatives are there to getting a webbrowser in front of several hundred people for just a few days before everything's torn down? I'm figuring some smart slashdot reader will have a really clever idea we haven't considered.

Submission + - A really really small portable Wifi device

jimcarroll writes: "I'm always in airport hotels; many are still hard wired. I like to surf from a comfy counch instead. I've been looking to see if anyone makes a really small wifi hub — straight ethernet in, no ohter lines out, just a wi-fi signal. Everyone seems to have 4/5/8 port hubs but I just need one small little device that will do this...."
