The Disclaimer
and a few other things
Briefly, here is some history behind this. Originally, I tried to use something called Larry's Paint to make this project a reality. The applet has many desirable functions that could have been employed, such as the pencil tool and stamping, however, there are very many graphics in the "Counterfeit Architect" project and it did not work out. Next, I attempted to marry the applet and current method together. . . without success. Thus, plan c is the one you see here which relies entirely on the javascript code I retrieved from The JavaScript Source. This script is by Randy Bennett and without this script. . . this site would probably not exist! While it's true that I don't really know what I'm doing, the project has been tested extensively and it should work(not).
Anyways, everything should be pretty self-explanatory. When you are done, though, you might want to retain your creation by taking a screenshot and saving it in some graphics or paint program. There you can add whatever else you want to, I guess and, using the line tool, it shouldn't be too hard to add laser fire inside a program like that, as well.
Regarding morality. Alright, yeah, I neither produce nor advocate the creation of bogus screenshots for the purpose of deception or malevolence. The falsifiers here are for good-hearted fun, however, I realize that it could be percieved that I condone the bad activites, which is not true! This site is for entertainment purposes only. There is a 99 cent per minute charge to login to the pages, which will be added to your isp bill or your phone company bill. Occasionally, the fee may be split between the isp bill and phone company bill. When this happens, the 99 cent charge will need to be made into a $1.00 charge, since a penny cannot be split in half. In addition, there is a 2 cent extra surcharge for having to process an extra bill. Also, if it were possible to split a penny in half, we would make the surcharge 3 cents, instead of 2. The extra penny we recieve from bumping 99 cents to a dollar, when splitting the charge, goes into the CEO's retirement fund and/or eludes the IRS. If for some reason you have one type of bill but do not have the other type and our company desires to charge you on two bills the first 50 cent charge will be executed on the isp bill or phone company bill and the second charge will lay dormant underground and attach itself to the next available transaction you make that involves money.
Also, sometimes the CEO will tack on 20.00 "nightmare" charges, if he has a bad dream or what he considers to be a bad dream as defined by 10 USC, Section 906. He simply presses a button and the next customer to login gets charged. Since he sleeps at night, the "nightmare" charge is prone to being added when the sky is dark. You may opt not to use our service at these times. If you live on the opposite side of the world from where our CEO is currently residing, it will be day for you when it is night for him. Nevertheless, the charge still applies, regardless of circumstance. For 21 dollars, however, you can convince us that the charge does not apply to you. The "nightmare" charge may also result out of a nap and not an entire sleep session. There may be more than one bad dream per 24 hour period. The charge may also be applied without requiring the CEO to have a bad dream. And no, I am not the CEO, because that's probably what you were thinking. I'm not yet, anyways. One day, though, I think I will be. Upper management keeps promising me that I will. I mean I founded the company by myself back in 1952 and have been working to become the CEO for a long time. Hmm, I wonder why it is taking so long. I need to look into that.
This project utilizes material from a game called Attack Retrieve Capture. I am not quite sure what entity or entities currently hold(s) the copyright for this game. In any case, this project is not affiliated with any past or present copyright holder or the game designers and creators. All material has been used without license and is property of the respective owners.
In addition, the map backgrounds are from maps that were not made by me but I would like to thank the map makers for their work. Also, I want to thank The JavaScript Source which aided greatly in the project and Geocities for providing the obvious service of webhosting. The fake chat text was made from a bitmap font using Softy, a font creation utility. The true type stuff went mostly over my head. You can download the font here. Also, I think ARCHQ hosts an ARC font based on the game, if you find the one here sucks.
[September 14, 2002] EDIT: The content on these pages is like two years old, and I had done this wierd thing where i took all the old content and updated the graphics only? How dumb. The sound on the other pages skips and stuff now, and doesn't loop very smoothly anymore, I guess because of IE updates or something. My advice is to not navigate to any of the links on the menu bar at the bottom on the main "Counterfeit ARC" page because they go to stuff not related to ARC. It was just that I like the design so I left it on the page! Anyways, I found this "Counterfeit ARC" thing that I never finished or released. So I got it to a workable deal. It was developed originally around October 2000. Anyways, basically all this content is dumb and old. . . I have done a few other new things, though. Mostly map compilations, patch updates and stuff like that. Still dumb stuff, but at least it's new(or old stuff made new)! Here are some links:
[ARC Patches and Maps] A bunch of ARC related stuff, I should probably go update the files!
[Battle at Gencrux] A page with information about a certain map I made.
[Spy Map] Another page devoted to a certain disappointing map I made based on the television show ALIAS. Just watch the show because this map just isn't fun. Ah, well, there hits and there's misses! This is definitely a miss.
