  • Released on 31 May 2021
  • Suggested by Ehtyar

Screenshot Captor (SC) is a feature-rich image tool for grabbing, manipulating, annotating, and sharing images. While the program is optimized for taking lots of screenshots with minimal intervention, it also includes multiple sources including games, webcams, and scanners. The program supports photo edition, watermarks, text boxes, arrows, thumbnails, hotkeys, and can export to a host of new and old formats, including sending multiple files to a PDF or animated GIF.

For screenshots, the program supports multiple monitors, is able to capture partial transparency effects, and has a powerful scrolling capture tool. Numerous tools are available to emphasize, diminish, or hide screen elements, such as highlight, blur, and cover.

Sharing is available via automatic or on-demand upload to image hosting services or sending by email. Settings menu allows detailed control of program behavior, menus, automatic functions, and even memory usage.

@ripu: thanks for reporting.

I just need to say again, good god this has a ton of features. It's far from smooth or intuitive, but if you do a lot with screenshots, you should get acquainted with what this can do.

Wesnoth @ v1.12.6 : Maintenance Release

shnbwmn on 2018-05-13 16:30

I'm glad that Wesnoth made it to Steam. Hopefully the community will grow and attract more enthusiasts.

On an unrelated note, I still have the Wesnoth 0.8.8 setup file from 2004/05, only 32Mb. A game must be very good if over a decade later it is still endlessly playable :)

Iter Vehemens Ad Necem v0.58

billon on 23 Nov 2020
  • 4MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 16 Mar 2020
  • Suggested by Fluffy

IVAN, short for Iter Vehemens Ad Necem, is probably one of the meanest rogue-like games out there. It uses graphical tiles instead of ASCII graphics, and also features all kinds of unique features, such as a fully functional locational damage system (losing limbs won't kill you, but it sure doesn't help), flexible character development environment, and a fluid system where you can track monsters by their blood trails.

Moving over the ocean is slightly slower than on dry land.
Changes:

Added Aslona!
Added new ROOM_OWNED_AREA type for generic owned rooms. Uses code similar to the Cathedral or Decos' house.

Add some new monsters, items, artifacts, materials and crafting recipes.
Hotness can now be used to define materials that deal fire damage on contact, just like Acidicity for acidic materials.
Use GitHub app for LGTM.
Cats can be tamed with fishes.
Orcs have black blood.
Lobh-se is a bit more fun.
Make amulets easily recognizable by color.
Land mines can now be sometimes defused if you levitate over and pick them up.

Add autopick regex.
Add an option to show info about gods, displaying their last reaction to prayer.
Better 'F1' command in menus:
Some items now have descriptions.
Better help for crafting actions.
New help for config options.
Add options to start with no pet and to use health descriptions.
Add alternate door traps.
Prevent very dumb creatures from using wands.
You cannot unequip locked chastity belt.
Update README and add MANUAL.
A wise player can look at an enemy for a rough estimation of their health.
Add day/night cycle to all above-ground locations.
Enable weather effects for more above-ground locations.
Let monsters also benefit from Detecting status effect.
Coffins now generate with grave goods and do something when you steal from them.
Hammers are good with the undead.
Some monsters now have different diets.
Add many new sound effects.
Fixes:

Decos no longer lets you steal from him.
You can no longer leave the Black Market through walls.
Slightly nerf Black Market.
Display Willpower in wizard mode secrets.
Running in wilderness now correctly takes stamina.
Fix some quest messages not being saved as already displayed.
Reveal gas traps when you step on them.
Fix several places where panic immunity or disease immunity was not respected.
Fix several crafting bugs, hopefully preventing crashes.
Fix Terra not offering priestly services after you killed Lobh-se.
Spill more water over a burning player when they pray to Silva, so there's a better chance to be extinguished.
Prevent long strings in config options from overflowing when displayed.
Prevent building features in owned rooms.
Explosive liquids can no longer be used to douse flames.
Wands of webbing were not causing hostility.
Fix horns of fear causing panic without checking the panic resistance of the victim.
Remove redundant messages from auto map notes.
Fix sitting on fountains and drinking from non-water fountains.
Fix AI not using equipped zappable items.
Make taming/possessing more powerful creatures scale correctly.
Fix a bug where boots were not correctly considered for kicking effects.
Fix teleport lock from non-equipment sources never timing out.
Assorted minor fixes and balancing.

Smurf, that looks sweet, if it is portable I suggest this be added to database. (possibly as a replacement?)

There's a note:
D-Fend Reloaded may be installed in a portable operation mode (for USB-Sticks etc.).

My eyes lit up when I read that.

I have updated the extraction instructions. Chris Morgan had pointed out that DOSBox is not portable if launched without any command-line switches.

Spews v1.1.3

  • 1MB (uncompressed)

Spews (Simple Process Excluding Wallpaper Switcher) is designed to automatically switch your wallpapers on a configurable schedule. You can add image folders, choose wallpaper options and check/uncheck the images paths as needed; only checked paths will be scanned for images.

The program will automatically suspend wallpaper switching if it detects any process names you configure in the Exclusions section. This can be beneficial, for instance, when running games that will be disrupted if the wallpaper is changed.

The word "Stealth" came into use recently in reference to the "stealth" airplanes the United States government started to use back in the 80's. As for these "stealth" airplanes they are in fact not invisible, what they show is a very small imprint in hopes to fool a radar operator into thinking that what they see is nothing to worry about. I suppose the fact of the matter is that there is no magic way to keep anything totally invisible on a computer. I for one can live with this free software calling itself "stealth" cuz that's what it looks like to me... Just sayin :) Thank you to the person for their hard work in bring me this free "stealth" software that does what it says.

By the author of Ubiquitous Player:

I've decided to stop updating this program. In 3 years I received exactly zero feedback on it, so I guess no one really uses it.

Thanks.

So ... is this program being actively developed again now?
