Mcreator 1.83/9/2023 ![]() I hope you understand my etude, since I wanted to clarify as much as it is possible in this topic. I'd recommend code - because yes, MCreator 2020.2 and older were really, really tough, and it's sometimes way more frustration than joy. Modding landscape won't change if we stay forever where others stayed.Įnding this extremely long message - if you really want to make mods for these old versions, either use what I linked to you, or use code. Tl dr, it's in our best interest to want only newest generators (and maybe one, not-so-distant, popular one like 1.16 for "secondary"), because it's respecting community, devs' time, and just being open to what's coming new. 1.8, 1.12, 1.14+, 1.17 and 1.18(.1/2) are really different code-wise, therefore supporting each version would be terribly confusing. If you ever had situation when you worked on things that are really similar, yet totally different, you will understand why you would like to avoid such situation. Even if it was, it would still mean that devs could maybe (!) add few features more.ġ) really time-consuming (and energy consuming), since each generator needs a lot of testing, understanding of code and so onĢ) sometimes it is even impossible due to technical incompatibilities (1.12.2 is such case - change of Java version in 1.17 made it so no MCreator past 2021.3 can use 1.12. Just because use 1.12 uses Java 8, meanwhile 1.17+ use newer version)ģ) extremely different in code. So each day Klemen and other devs put on working on old/outdated versions of Minecraft, it would mean less features for newer versions, and also a lot more bugs and - who knows - easier burnout (-> end of MCreator).Īlso, as far as I know, MCreator isn't even daily job of any of us. You seem to understand that backporting features is a pain, so I assume I don't need to explain you this, but to whoever comes across (or maybe to you, if you want clarification): but as said, technically you are totally able to make some mods on this version. They may (and will be buggy)? Sure! They will also have extreme limitations for features (which is really a pain). If you do not ask about newer features, these are totally fine. ![]() you can make mods via MCreator for these versions!Įither visit this archive or use 2020.2 which supports 1.12.2 natively from here. But comparing to 1.16/1.18? Not even close.Īt least the ability to make mods in older versions And sure, it was more popular than 1.14, 1.15 or 1.17 version. TLDR, if you add support for 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 more people will play the mods made using mcreator, witch means more people creating mods using mcreator And Minecraft changed a lot since these versions, so a lot of people (be it newcomers, it doesn't matter) wouldn't even stand Minecraft without a lot of QoL features that new versions added. This doesn't mean that they are very popular, since a lot of people just wants to play new features. If you say about playing mods - I'd still tell that you exaggerate the amount of people playing, but nevermind about precision, that's fair, these versions are still quite popular. The ones that are still supporting 1.12.2 (or older versions) are way smaller minority. Modders themselves tend to leave support for older versions, and the ones that stayed on 1.12, eventually left modding. let me counterargue (and mostly, explain).Īround 48% of minecrafts modding community plays 1.8.9 or 1.12.2.

Xscope double click3/9/2023 ![]() ![]() What am I doing wrong? Is there a hidden step not in the manual? I truely am at a loss and would appreciate some guidance from an Oracle Guru. Instructions for this are available on the Internet. Try to repair the mouse yourself by replacing the microswitch or bending its spring. With about 1cm2 FOV and a spatial resolution of 1.5m, luminance and colour measurements on the entire surface of micro displays, calibration and quality control at the pixel scale become possible. How to fix unwanted double clicks If double taps do occur, there are several ways to solve this problem: 1. The high magnification and ultra large Field of View are obtained using a new generation of microscope objective. It is too freaking hot right now in Florida to be spending hours outside only to get no where. Since 2015, ELDIM has been selling the first video colorimeter with ultra large field of view and high spatial resolution. I spent hours today trying to figure out the problem only to be back at square one and cussing profusely. Simple point and click, intuitive GUI provides access to create advanced inspection routines All software tools standards include (but are not limited to) BGA Void detection and automatic calculations Easy macro recording for intuitive step and repeat programming Various measuring tools for radius, area, perimeter, etc. If I go back into the Truing Menu, I can push the down arrow and see all 4 Truing/Reference yardages that I worked on and pressed the right arrow to save ,seeing "Done". I use this one when testing where to place breakpoints in a design, for using in media queries. A fairly obvious feature, the Rulers tool gives you the ability to measure elements on your screen. If I back out of that after I see "Done" leave the menu and go to press the "Fire" button to range, the led dot is right back where it was prior to Truing. Heres a quick look at my favourite tools in xScope and how I use them (using the lovely Process Type Foundry site for our examples). I will go through the whole process, push the right arrow button, see "Done" flash a few times and then move to the next range point. For the life of me, I cannot get these two to hold the entered reference points. Zoom with 2 fingers (multi-touch) or double tap.

Endless dungeon strategy3/8/2023 ![]() Having the player fail on the very first floor with absolutely nothing they could have done differently is a sign that the difficulty curve is a bit high at the moment. Which I know is a major part of the rogue-like genre, but there has to be some give and take. There are too many ways for the player to fail and not enough for them to succeed. I know that I’m coming down on the game more in this post but that’s because I’ve had a lot more time looking at what options the player has for advanced play and there really aren’t any. As there were times where I opened up a door from the start to have enemies flood in and had to take a dust lost as there were no modules in there to help me fight them off. It felt like while playing on easy mode that the enemies were quickly scaling beyond my heroes and without finding items there was nothing I could do as leveling up doesn’t raise your stats up that much.Īnother point of frustration is not having the ability to set up any defenses at the crystal/defense point. Health and defense are very important as you need to keep your heroes alive long enough for the modules to do their job. The level’s layout is a huge factor in determining your success as not having enough dust will leave you with plenty of areas for enemies to come from. And even then, the holohero doesn’t distract all the enemies, only a specific type. There is a module called the holohero that will distract enemies, but again if you don’t find it and unlock it, you lose a critical tactic for survival. Once a door is open it will remain open forcing you to deal with the new hole in your defense. The game doesn’t really tell you the attack patterns of the different enemy types and there are a lot in the game to deal with. There’s no way to really corral enemies around as they will go through the open doors that take them the shortest way to their target. This is where Dungeon of the Endless’s combination of rogue-like and tower defense hurts it as there aren’t enough advanced tower defense mechanics for the player to make use of. If the dungeon doesn’t spawn enough dust to light your way to the exit, you’re practically dead. Not finding any items or upgrade stations, dead, too many open areas and not enough defenses… you guessed it, dead. The problem is that there aren’t enough mechanics or options to circumvent or at least try to get around a bad hand. One time you’ll make it 10 floors in without much trouble, next time you’ll die on floor 1 in under 8 minutes. Rolling the Dice:Īs with any rogue-like, your progression through Dungeon of the Endless is completely randomized. However this takes me to my main problem with the game and the lack of options the player has. The trick to effectively winning a game (at least on the harder modes) is being able to balance your progression so that one strategy isn’t your dominant. Upgrading and finding new modules gives you a lot of toys to play with and set up defenses, but if they fail you won’t have a plan b as your heroes won’t be strong enough to fight on their own. The rogue-like elements come in with how your strategy for survival is dependent on what you find on each floor.įinding a lot of items to strengthen your heroes means that you don’t have to rely on modules or static defenses, but this puts you in a position where your heroes must always be on the front lines. You constantly have to weigh how long you stay on a level to gather the resources that you need to strengthen your heroes or build defenses. ![]() Your starting ship affects how the game is going to play and gives the developers a lot of leeway for adding future content/modes. But where these enemies come from is all on you as the more doors you open means more resources, but it also means more threats. The beauty of the game is that it is definitely a tower defense title - you have a hard point on the map that must be defended from waves of monsters. You have the heroes themselves that need food to level up, unlocking new modules through science, placing defenses with technology and of course managing the dust needed to keep rooms secure. The challenge of Dungeon of the Endless is that you need to constantly juggle where you’re focusing your progression on. But now I can talk a bit more about advanced play and what makes Dungeon of the Endless work so well. Other than that and some surprises and new enemies, Dungeon of the Endless plays pretty much the same as it did while in Early Access. One ship for instance is the game’s hard mode while another makes it easier to heal your characters at the expense of losing the ability to auto heal after every wave. Your ship/escape pod is essentially the mode that you’re going to play the game in. There are ships that can be unlocked by meeting certain conditions. Each character’s personality is expanded on now with stories between them and little quips during play.

Software sound normalizer3/8/2023 ![]() Its not really possible, although you can do some things to mitigate the problem.įor a start, if the sounds comes out of your computer in analog form to your speakers/headphones etc, there's no way to somehow sync the physical volume control on the speakers back to the PC etc.Īs your speakers/headphones are the last device in the chain to your ears, that is preferably where you should be controlling the volume. Is this possible? Am I the only one that ends up adjusting the volume in a dozen different places? How to professional audio engineers setup their computers to deal with these types of issues? Somehow know what the set all my volume levels to, so that I would NEVER have to touch them and that I would only need to adjust one single master volume control and thats it. What I'm getting at, is that it would be nice if there was some way to "normalize" everything. I didn't set my speaker level like that on purpose, but unintentionally did it earlier in the day because that was the volume level that I needed it at to hear some YouTube video or something (presumably because the Windows 7 volume must have been extremely low at the time). Sometimes I have to adjust my speaker volume for certain things, sometimes I have to adjust my Windows volume, sometimes I have to adjust the specific YouTube video volume, sometimes I'm adjusting the volume in iTunes, etc.Įarly today I started watching some YouTube video and I begin to turn up the volume using the volume control on my keyboard, only to discover that the volume got EXTREMELY loud with even the slightest turn of the dial because the dial on my speakers was almost set to the max level. Now, I know that obviously different audio sources have different levels of audio that require me to adjust volume and that adjusting volume is necessary, but what I hate is that I seemingly adjust the volume in 10 different places throughout the day. It would be very nice if there was ONE single place that I could control the volume of things I hear on my computer. In-browser video or audio players like YouTube.MP3 software (like iTunes or foobar2000). ![]()

Check out these 5 Android Wi-Fi hotspot apps.ĥ Best HDMI Splitters for TV and Dual Monitors Are you looking to run the same signal on two TVs or computer monitors without going into complications of ordering a different receiver? 5 Best Headphone Splitters Worth Buying (in 2019) Typically, gadgets (phones and computers) ship with a single audio jack. The good thing about all these devices is that you won’t have to compromise on the quality or the speed. These were some of the Ethernet splitters available out there. The only limitation is that you can’t use both the internet connection at the same time. The small form factor (as small as a deck of cards) means that you can mount it under your desk using double-sided tape. The design is simple with two ports and two buttons., Whenever you need to switch, click on the buttons. And with it, you can lay aside worries of constantly having to unplug the ethernet cables from your systems. So, if you have a single LAN cable but want to divide the feed between your Printer and a PC, this device will help you do that. Instead, it’s a simple A-B switch, which lets you switch the internet back and forth between two devices. However, the MT-VIKI 2 Ports Network Switch Splitter is nothing like that. So far, the splitters mentioned above helps you split the network bandwidth into the available ports. Tenda 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch More importantly, it’s a durable product. Users seem to like its easy installation process and the ease of use. ![]() So far, the D-Link DGS-105 has raked in pretty positive reviews with users rating it 4.2-stars out of 5 on Amazon.

Dynasty warriors 8 weapons guide 5th3/8/2023 ![]() By using the Qilin Horn while on a horse you can expect to finish this stage while defeating every officer in about 2 minutes. ![]() The best way to grind these out to to play the stage Capture of Wei - Wei Forces on chaos difficulty since it has a high difficulty level being a late story mission as well as having a lot of playable character in close proximity to the starting point. Now that you have all the 5th weapons all you're going to be left with are those pesky rare weapons. With the Qilin horn it's best to have the equestrian, health boost, defence boost and the fortune hunter skills equipped so you can obtain some rare weapons while playing for the 5th weapons. This is best done by selling weapons in ambition mode and using the money to buy exp from the academy. I recommend having characters at level 50+ for this so you can survive a few hits. Since you can kill every officer in one hit anyway it's best to do this on chaos difficulty to save you time when going for the 'Master of Chaos' achievement. Even at high levels you can expect to go up 2 fortune hunter levels per playthrough.Īfter you've grinded your fortune hunter skill as high as you want you're going to want to obtain each character's 5th weapon. From there continue as normal defeating every officer. Enemy soldiers will then infinitely respawn in this spot meaning that you can spam the LB+Y attack on a horse until you have 1500 kills which usually takes around 5 minutes. At the start immediately rescue Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang without killing any other officers and then head back to your starting point in the south west corner of the map. To do this you're going to want to play the stage the Yellow Turban Conflict on chaos difficulty with a level 50+ character. Now that you have this weapon you're going to want to get your fortune hunter skill as high as possible (15+ recommended). The jubilation element on the Qilin Horn means that you can simply attack normal soldiers with the same attack to regain any lost HP. With this weapon you can kill every officer in the game (even Hulao Gate Lu Bu on chaos difficulty) with one hit by using the LB+Y attack while mounted on a horse. After all six elements are on your Qilin Horn any weapon regardless of its elements can then be tempered to it to increase the Qilin Horn's elements until they are all level 10. When you temper a weapon to this Qilin Horn its elements will be added to the original weapon. To do this first start off with a Qilin horn that has no elements on it or any combination of these six. You're then going to want to temper a Qilin Horn (4 star lance weapon) so that it has level 10 velocity, thorns, cyclone, flash, barricade and jubiliation. įirst of all you're going to want to play through ambition mode until you can upgrade your blacksmith to level 30 which unlocks tempering, meaning that you can add any elements to your weapons. The requirements for each 5th weapon can be found here (credit to wowitsyugi of gamefaqs). This means that you'll have to play as all 77 characters to obtain their corresponding 5th weapons. 5th weapons are obtained by fulfilling particular requirements in a certain level for each character while on hard or chaos difficulty. ![]() Since you can only possess one version of each rare weapon at a time, never sell any rare weapons! If a character was going to drop a rare weapon that you already have it will be changed to another rare weapon you don't have yet. ![]() There are two rare weapons for each weapon type with the exception of sword that has three (Emperor's sword obtained by completing ambition mode). The likelihood of these being dropped is increased by using the fortune hunter skill. As far as I'm aware these are only dropped by playable characters. Rare weapons (indicated by gold stars) are random drops from officers. Since this is probably one of the last achievements you'll obtain you'll probably have all of these by this point. Normal weapons (1, 2, 3 and 4 star) are dropped by officers or brought from the blacksmith in story or ambition mode. There are 3 different types of weapons to collect for each weapon type:

There are tons of resources out there describing the techniques required, so I won't bore you with those here, but here is one of my favorite videos on YouTube explaining the techniques:ĭefinitely check out Ted Forbes' channel, The Art of Photography. The actual process for developing C-41 film at home is actually pretty similar to developing black and white film. Plus it's so much more satisfying! So, once you've got all of that you're ready to get mixing and develop some film.Įach part needs to be mixed in 110 degrees Fahrenheit water, so make sure you're not using your mom's garden hose. There are far more expensive areas of photography, and if you're not developing too much at home, I guarantee home developing is cheaper than taking it to the lab. The initial outlay of cash for the equipment is a little daunting, but once you've made the investment, you're good. The instructions are dead simple. But before we start mixing away, there are a few things you're going to need: A graduated cylinder, photography thermometer, mask, chemical bottles (3), changing bag (or changing tent), funnel, mixing spoon, and bucket.

Truck goes over overpass3/7/2023 ![]() It's not yet clear when the work will start, officials say, though they expect it to begin this month. Now the state transportation department is looking for a contractor to handle the emergency repairs, which are expected to wrap up by the end of November. And the permit said to go underneath that bridge." ![]() "When it comes to an oversized, there is a permit. ![]() "Everybody wants to blame the driver," he said. The driver has not been cited, Anchorage Police Department spokeswoman Renee Oistad said Wednesday.įairbanks, who has held a Class A license to drive trucks for almost 30 years, was clear on what his load measured. That's where the permit came into the picture, he said: A police officer on scene verified the information that showed the trucks were required to travel under the overpass. The modules he carried weren't damaged when they hit the bridge, Fairbanks said. The other truck was able to barely clear the bridge by moving into a different lane. That's when the load clipped the overpass, damaging a girder, as the truck passed beneath it. Transportation officials were not able to answer questions about why the permit didn't call for the drivers to similarly go around the overpass that was struck by the load.Īt the South Eagle River bridge, Fairbanks said, he approached the overpass in fairly heavy traffic at no more than 45 mph, as required by the permit, and then slowed down to about 25 as he got close. The permit required that they take a winding route through Anchorage to avoid traffic lights and go around - rather than under - six other Glenn Highway bridges, including those at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and Hiland Road. His load, consisting of modules bound for the North Slope, was 16 feet, 11 inches, he said. His permit allowed a load height of up to 17 feet. 28 with no problems until they got to the overpass. It wasn't immediately clear what such a survey involves.Īs an emergency measure, the statement said, the transportation department has marked the northbound side of the damaged bridge with a sign labeling its height as 16 feet, 1 inch - even though that's not the actual height of the bridge - "to provide extra clearance to prevent further damage to the bridge as we await repairs."įairbanks said Wednesday that he and another driver came through Anchorage from Kenai on Sept. "We are doing an immediate check of all the bridges on the Glenn Highway to confirm their height to make certain that (the division) has up-to-date information."Ī statement the agency issued notes the permit was based on the trucking company's representation of the load height and that a permit manual states that "it is the responsibility of the party transporting an over-height load to conduct a route survey prior to travel." "DOT is concerned and we are conducting an internal investigation," department spokeswoman Shannon McCarthy said Thursday. State transportation officials say they are reviewing the incident, the height of the truck's load and the measurements of the highway's overpass clearances with the department's Division of Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Compliance. Glenn Highway, Bridge Crash, New Entrance, Semi Crash, Modular Building, Alaska Department of Transportation The bridge is the same one that was struck in March 2018 by a truck hauling a load too tall to fit on the southbound side of the Glenn, triggering colossal traffic jams. The cost of repairing the bridge, damaged over the highway's northbound lanes, is estimated at $500,000 to $1 million, according to a bid invitation the state issued this week. "I was in the lead and I followed the path." You cannot stray from the path," said Fairbanks, the owner of Sterling-based FBX Equipment and Services.

Wave killed marine wildlife masse3/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You really have to have oceans in the equation when you're trying to understand climate impacts," Holsman explained. "The oceans are a major component of the Earth's system. What happens in the oceans also influences weather patterns everywhere. This shifts the balance of ocean life and introduces uncertainty into an environment upon which a large proportion of humanity relies, whether for food, recreation, income or nourishment for the soul. Oceans have absorbed around 90% of the excess heat from human-caused climate change. Oceans, though out-of-sight-out-of-mind for many land-locked residents, are central to our global climate, Holsman explained. More: Population growth brings greater climate risks to metro areas, report says, but also hope And so we can do a comparison," Asner explained. "One of the reasons I like using Hawaii as a model for the world is that, if you look down at a map of Hawaii, there are areas of intense development and there are areas that are still completely wild, with no development.

He says it's part of the vision ASU president Michael Crow and Vice Provost Peter Schlosser have for leveraging Phoenix-based talent and resources to contribute to a more sustainable and habitable planet for all humankind. And he loves that he can do it while living full-time in the Hawaiian Islands. He loves his job and his boss and being a part of ASU's Global Futures Laboratory. Marine ecologist Greg Asner is employed by Arizona State University, as a professor and director of the Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science. Populations of salmon and other important fish species plummeted, straining the Pacific fishing industry. Fin whales and sea otters started washing up dead while baby seals starved on shore for all to see. In the mid-2010s heat wave, higher ocean temperatures fueled the growth of less-nutritious types of algae. Marine life suffered in both "Blob" events. Scientists called it "The Blob 2.0." The original "Blob" developed in 2013 as a strange pool of warm water off the coast of Alaska, then quickly expanded all the way to Mexico in a meteorological phenomenon that lingered until early 2016 and "was so persistent and unusual that it initially defied explanation," according to NASA. In 2019, about 4,600 miles from Arizona, a marine heat wave cranked up the temperature in the waters around Hawaii. For several sweltering summer months, a low pressure system sat over the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and California and led to decreased cooling winds and sea surface temperatures 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal.

Examples are "brunch" (breakfast + lunch) "motel" (motorcar + hotel) and "guesstimate" (guess + estimate). Many new words enter the English language in this way. A word formed by joining together parts of existing words is called a "blend" (or, less commonly, a "portmanteau word").The only word in English that ends with the letters "-mt" is "dreamt" (which is a variant spelling of "dreamed") - as well of course as "undreamt" :).The following sentence contains all 26 letters of the alphabet: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
