As a ToriAgent, it's your often job to be the judge on whether or not rules have been broken and what action should be taken. All the various rule sets from the Mac/PC version are here as well (sumo, akido, etc), so that’s nice.Toriagents are a team primarily focused on helping users and maintaining a nice atmosphere for the game, discord and forum. ![]() ![]() The graphics look a little sharper on the Wii, and there is a little more music from what I can tell. You don’t really have to worry about lag in a turn based game like this, so slow wireless connections shouldn’t be a problem. Just like with the free version, the game is really meant to be played online, and the online here is smooth and reliable. In a lot of ways, this is the exact same game you can play for free on the Mac/PC. There are also a fair amount of character customization options in the game, just like in the Mac/PC version. ![]() Decapitations and limb detachments are commonplace, but thanks to the game’s abstract visuals, they’re never disturbing. Even if you suck at the game, the violence is still really fun to watch. Also like real fighting, there is no ceiling on how good you can get at the game. At first it’s a little frustrating, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you eventually master some awesome attacks, just like in real fighting. Get ready to not do anything right for at least your first three matches. That makes the learning curve here atrocious. You really need to learn how to fight from scratch. In that way, this is one of the most realistic fighting games ever made. Throw in a healthy dose of rag doll physics, and you should get what I mean by “controlled chaos”. That helps you to predict what your next move will be, but there is no way of predicting what your opponent will do. As you position your parts, you’ll see a little shadow of your character that shows you where your current set of commands will send your body in the next turn. As you’re doing that, you’re opponent is doing the same. In most modes, you get about twenty seconds to position your body parts the way you want to. For instance, “sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow back” in turn one, and sternum back, left pec back, right pec forward, right elbow forward) in turn two should result in a right jab. You have to position them in just the right way to get anything down. Each body part is like an individual unit in your average turn-based time strategy game. The game asks you to take control over each individual muscle group of the human body pecs, shoulders, elbows, hips, glutes, the whole thing. The goal here is to knock your opponent down, and/or rip off one of their limbs before they do the same to you. Even throwing a basic punch is a three-to-four step process. Actually, you have to take your time and plan things out. You can really take your time and plan out exactly how you want to attack. There’s tons of time to think in this game. It’s this “no time to think” thing that makes Toribash different. If your opponent knows what they’re doing (or even if they don’t) that may be it for you. Sit and think too long, and you’ll let your guard down. If you’re sitting around thinking about what to do next, chances are you’ve left yourself wide open and are already getting your butt kicked. ![]() If you don’t know how to fight, well, your brain will probably try to give you some ideas on how to defend yourself as you get broken in multiple places. If you know how to fight at all, muscle memory will take over and your body will end up reacting before your brain has a chance to. In a real fight, everything is happening so fast that you barely get to think. Have you ever imagined yourself in a fight? It’s different from a real fight. The whole game is based around controlled chaos an equal mix of strategy and luck.

The former means that Compressor will maximize the volume of the track after it does its work.Check Make-up gain for 0dB after compressing and Compress based on Peaks.The Compressor is a complex but very useful effect, so let's take a moment to see how it works. The Compressor effect works by making the loud parts quieter, then amplifying everything, which ends up making the quiet parts louder. Choose Effect > Volume and Compression > Compressor.Click on the Track Control Panel of your narration track and select the entire track.You could go through and manually adjust the volume throughout your narration track, but there's an easier way - use Audacity's built-in Compressor effect. Remember, your listeners can't see you, so having a consistent volume for your narration is important so they'll be able to hear and understand everything you're saying. Unless you are professional narrator or voice-over specialist there are probably level (volume) variations during your narration. Extraneous noises should be edited with Click Removal, Repair or Amplify before the Normalize step. NOTE: Extraneous noises in the recording can cause Normalize to create unwanted changes in the stereo balance, or prevent recordings being made as loud as they can be. To correct unwanted volume differences between left and right, check "Normalize stereo channels independently". However basic consumer-level equipment can often record with channels unbalanced. Note that Normalize defaults to retaining the existing balance between stereo channels. ![]() The volume is normalized to -1 dB, so leaving a little headroom below the maximum possible 0 dB level.Accept (for now) the default choices in the Normalize dialog and click the OK button.Choose Effect > Volume and Compression > Normalize.With default Tracks Preferences, you may not need this step - all the audio in the project is selected if you choose an effect without first selecting any audio.Choose Select > All (or use CTRL + A) to select all of the track.To maximize the volume of your recording, you can use the 'Normalize' effect. ![]() Instead of being in control and involved in one's life, the adjustments formulated to suit a person’s advanced age involve the ability to give up control, to be able to accept a certain measure of dependency upon others, and to cut oneself off from annoying and tension-causing social contacts. In fact, an oldest-old person develops a self-concept that is different from the one he had during his younger old age. Johnson & Barer 5 found that the oldest-old tend to have different interpretations of their problems, and the connotations that they attribute to the various events are what enables them to feel that they control their own lives. Losing these functions may be hard blow to basic human pride and particularly to an old person’s right to live as he or she would wish. To some extent, more than half of those aged 90 suffer from dementia and from a gradual loss of critical qualities of life such as remaining autonomous, functionally independent, retaining their personal identity, social contacts, the ability to carry out their plans, etc. This change is a product of aging-related reduction in the scope of physical, cognitive and motivational reserve capacity. 1, 2 Baltes and Baltes, 3 Baltes & Smith 4 suggest that the oldest-old experience a negative change in the balance of gains and losses. A healthcare professional will be able to do a complete evaluation in order to determine the causes and thus point out the best treatment.The oldest-old or the old-old population relates to those who are 85 or over. In some cases, a therapy that includes both members of the couple can offer great benefits. To get help with pathological jealousy, it is essential to contact a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or even a sexologist. In short, jealousy blossoms when the person is feeling insecure, not feeling loved, and has an intense desire to be in a position of control. It is also common in alcoholics and people who suffer from sexual dysfunction. Pathological jealousy is found in cases of schizophrenia, neurosis, bipolar disorder, and in patients with damage to the right frontal lobe. Unfortunately, most cases of pathological jealousy are not so simple. In these cases, treatment of pathological jealousy involving simply reducing the dose of the medicine or overcoming the addiction has been very successful. Although this is not very frequent, pathological jealousy has been observed as a side effect caused by the medicine that patients with this illness take to stimulate dopamine production.Ĭocaine, methamphetamine, or other drugs that produce a sudden increase in dopamine can produce a similar effect. Tom Valeo, in his article When a Drug Leads to Suspicions of Infidelity, he mentions that he has seen cases of pathological jealousy in various patients who suffer from Parkinson’s Disease. This generally happens to people with paranoid personalities, or sometimes it is accompanied by some other psychosis or disorder, for example, obsessive compulsive disorder. It is also common for pathologically jealous people to try to hurt themselves. In the most chronic of cases, the pathologically jealous partner goes to the extreme of becoming violent with their partner and/or the supposed lover. Pathologically jealous people frequently focus on insignificant events to accuse their partner of unfaithfulness and they are not willing to change their point of view when they are shown logical proof that they were wrong. ![]() Unlike normal jealousy, pathological jealousy can last for years. Pathological jealousy can show up both in men and in women however, it is more common and more dangerous in the case of men. A person suffering from pathological jealousy believes they are their partner’s master and they are obsessed with watching over, following, and trying to “trap” their partner in the act. A pathologically jealous person hangs on to the delirious idea that their partner is being unfaithful to them without caring if there is any evidence to support this conclusion. Most cases of pathological jealousy are seen between husband and wife or romantic partners. “Jealousy is the most extreme expression of our own insecurity.” How can we know if what we have is pathological jealousy?

This is the continuation of Sergeant Mark IV's Brutal Hexen mod. To begin with, you need to know how many watts your circuit requires. Now that we know what we’re looking at, let’s talk features. Some of them give you the ability to set a timer, and others don’t. They typically offer app control, sometimes motion detection, night lights, and other similar “extras”. We’ve reviewed smart switches in the past, and there are some good ones on the market. Note that this is not the same as a smart switch. ![]() This is the type of switch we’re looking at today. With an automated light switch, you can typically set a separate schedule for weekends, or even a 7-day schedule. A single, 24-hour dial only lets you set a single schedule. And much like a mechanical plug-in timer, they allow you to turn your lights on and off on a schedule. Much like a mechanical bathroom timer, they take the place of a wall light switch. However, there aren’t a lot of other useful applications for them.ĭigital timer switches are simply the next evolution of this technology. They’re often used to control bathroom fans, and also infrared lamps in hotels. Turn a dial, and the switch will activate, typically for anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Similarly, mechanical bathroom timers have been around for a long time. As the dial turned, the pins would flip the switch on and off. Typically, they worked by inserting sets of pins into a rotating dial. They were particularly popular with frequent travelers, since they could be used to turn a few lamps on and off while you were away. These were timers that could be plugged into a power outlet, and used to power various devices. If you remember the dark, prehistoric decade of the 1990s, (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth) you’ve probably seen mechanical timers. But first, here’s a quick overview of your options, and what you should keep in mind while you’re deciding. We’ll be giving you an in-depth review of three of the top models that money can buy. Whatever your reasons, an automated light switch timer is one solution to this problem. Or maybe you just want the convenience of lights at times when you know you’re going to be home. Maybe you get up at the same time every day and don’t like fumbling in the dark every morning. ![]() Maybe you want to deter burglars while you’re out of town. So if you were looking for a switch that works with smartthings, this particular model is not that.Sometimes, you want a switch in your house to turn on or off automatically. And it does not appear that the Wi-Fi models are compatible with smartthings, although Eaton’s models mostly are. Oddly, Eaton is not providing an app for its Wi-Fi switches: they tell you to use the Alexa app. I didn’t look to see for sure, but normally in those set ups you only get on/off from the accessory, not dimming, so you will want to check into that to be sure. It’s unusual in a good way in that it appears from the manual that you can use any existing dumb accessory switch as long as you follow the wiring diagram exactly. The model that you linked to is a Wi-Fi master switch that uses a traveler wire to communicate with an accessory switch in a three-way set up. If you don’t have a smartthings hub and you want to use the switch with a smartthings account, it will have to have a cloud to cloud Integration or be using Wi-Fi. So… we will need a few more details as far as what you’re asking.ĭo you have a smartthings hub, and if so, which model? But almost all of them will require that you replace both switches on the three-way, the master and the accessory.Īnd quite a few brands offer optional switch covers in ivory. Most zwave switches, some zigbee switches, and a few WiFi switches can be set up in a three-way configuration which will work even if other parts of the Home Automation system are not working. ![]() I’m not quite clear on what you’re asking. ![]() Kensuke is one of the only characters in the series who does not show any sign of serious psychological damage.Neon Genesis Evangelion: Campus Apocalypse.Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth.Rara vez se le ve sin su videocámara a mano.

Nevertheless, Kensuke enjoys the privileges of being the friend of an Eva pilot he and Toji accompany Shinji on the excursion to the UN combined naval fleet during the transportation of Unit 02.

Kensuke Aida (, , Aida Kensuke ) es un personaje secundario en la franquicia Evangelion. He reveals to the class that Shinji is a pilot, and later bonds with Shinji after he runs away the first time. Kensuke is, at the start of the series, Touji's best friend. He also seems oblivious to the intense physical and psychological duress endured by Eva pilots. Kensuke Aida is a character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime and manga. Kensuke dreams of becoming an Eva pilot and ceaselessly begs Shinji to pull strings in NERV so he can be selected as a pilot, despite Shinji telling him that he has no say in the matter. Another rival ship is AsuKawo, which was elevated to a more equal footing with the release of 3.0 but gradually lost popularity again. Kensuke solidifies his friendship with Shinji after Shinji saves him and Toji during the fight against the fourth Angel, Shamshel. KawoRei became significantly more popular in the late 2000s with the advent of the Rebuild movies, as Rei used to be paired instead with Kensuke Aida in AsuShin fics. His hobbies include camping in the mountains surrounding Tokyo-3 and playing at simulated war reenacting-by himself. Kensuke Aida is an otaku, a military buff, Toji's best friend, and one of the "Other Children," Eva pilot candidates in the same class as Shinji, Toji, Rei, Asuka, and Hikari.

If so, can you give me a hint how to do it. I am thinking the second possibilities is to load the sprite image as one BufferedImage and draw the individual tiles on smaller BufferedImage and convert them to Texture. Do I have to cut the tiles and save them as individual images on my hard drive before loading them back to JMonkey as different textures? It is much easier for me to edit the sprites if they are all on one single sheet thus I don’t want to cut them up. I will add 3D feature after I port the game. I am less familiar with JMonkey it seems JMonkey’s TextureAtlas is a different concept, am I right? I decided to convert my games to JMonkey. Unfortunately the scene graph support of Libgdx is weak. ![]() For nice tile maps, it is straight forward to manually create the ‘atlas’ by using a notepad (that is actually how I create). In Libgdx, I can have a ‘sprite sheet’ and use TextureRegion to designate the different tiles as separate textures. I actually tried to use TextureAtlas before I post my question. Not sure what you are trying to do - so I just said everything that came to my mind regarding that thanks for the reply. Another possi might be to use a “3D texture” (sampler3d) which is quite an old feature (I think) and then you would simply put your tiles as slices in the w-coordinate (u and v are sampler2d, w is the third axis).But it’s definitely going to solve the problems of a texture atlas.I don’t know what kinds of graphics cards support that feature (driver version, GL version).I don’t know if jME 3.0 or 3.1 support that feature (but I would like to know).In more recent versions of OpenGL you have “texture arrays” or “array textures”.Texture atlases are often used for game characters and objects and to avoid the problems above, special care must be taken - example: configure a margin of 8 or 16 pixels when you bake your textures in Blender - which then minimizes “color bleeding” (parts in such an atlas are not power two tiles but random sized n-gons) and it also fixes “wrap around artifacts” (when using a special tile-based shader).Note: this is not a problem if you use the tiles on e.g. I observed this behavior when writing a special shader with tiled textures. This comes from having different pixels next to your quad. when trying to use a large polygon with one of your tiles repeating multiple times, then strange lines will appear between the repetitions. You will get problems with “wrap around” - i.e.Which will then work for the first 6 mipmap levels and break at the 7th mipmap level, because the tiles “bleed” into each other (“color bleeding” is actually the term for that phenomenon). If you use texture min/mag filters with mipmaps, your tiles must be a power of two size - e.g.I will be linking a sample in the post itself but here's a MEGA link to a ZIP with more of them. If anyone could give me some help in figuring this out I would be more than grateful. They are somewhat readable with a text editor but they also look odd. The ATLAS and the JSON contain data mostly about screen positioning and scaling along with some other mundane definitions. I also tried a bunch of command line toolsets, both official and unofficial ones, that do the same thing but also to no avail. Most posts related to this format point to the Mali Texture Compression Tool, but I could only find its 2.2 version as its latest one, 4.3, hasn't been archived past the tool's discontinuation of service earlier this year, at least not that I'm aware of, so there could be a chance all that would be needed to open these is that version of the tool. I don't believe the data is compressed or encrypted differently than what is documented, but the header is unusual and doesn't match the 16-byte standard seen in other files of the same format, rendering these textures unreadable by every software I tried. The PKM format is related to the Ericson Texture Compression technique and has been explored by other posts in the past, but the one in this game seems to be slightly different. Its files are all laid bare inside typical folders, with a good chunk of the game's assets being in common formats easy to crack open, however, its textures and sprites are stored in a set of 4 files: Two PKMs (one for the base image, another for the alpha channel), an ATLAS, and a JSON. This is a 2D hack n' slash Chinese mobile game that can only be downloaded through TapTap ( ) and I've been trying to convert the imagery in the game into something viewable. |
