Thx LeeN.On this week's episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson, Kyle Hilliard, Jacob Geller, and Leo Vader unpack the reveal trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the announcement of the Crisis Core remaster before shifting into overlooked games of the summer. ![]() All HMD tweaks will be disabled and the game should behave like the original version.īefore I started this project, I had a look at the rift support implementation from LeeN (mtbs3d forum). This version can also be played without any Head Mounted Device. The OculusSDK library is loaded during runtime and the game also works fine without the library. Just follow the instructions in the Build.md file. It is still possible to build the game with OpenHMD support. The OpenHMD library just doesn't support all the features. More informationįor the DK2 support I had to use the OculusSDK. If you want to build the code yourself, just follow the instructions in Build.md. Sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libopenal1:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386īe sure to mark "jasphmd" as executable and start the game with it.

The Oculus Runtime 1.3 is needed to run the game in VR mode. The version was tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7. If you want to use it, download the additional asset file and place it into the following folder of your "Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy" installation: The game runs fine without this asset file. The additional asset file just contains a new default config with the gamepad already setup (including Head-Mounted-Device recenter using the start button).Īlso a small translation string was added for the resolution selection. GameData/ Original Patch:įor those not having the Steam version: you'll need the 1.01 update from here Additional Asset File (optional): There are binaries for Linux and Windows checked into the Github repository, so if you want to just play the Oculus Rift version, download the binary files and start playing right away.Ĭopy all the files from the Windows or Linux platform folder into the following directory of your "Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy" installation: Some options can be tweaked to boost the rendering performance to make sure the game runs stable framerates in VR mode.

![]() ![]() Version 5.0 moves CARROT Weather to a free with subscription business model. (It's possible ads may be sold directly at some future point, but users' information will never be sold or shared.) The latter are provided free of charge as CARROT's way of giving back to the awesome indie developer community. The free version includes ads, but they’re either for fake products or for other indie apps. CARROT Weather is switching from paid upfront to free with an optional subscription. You’ll never have more fun checking the weather. 2,000 new lines of snarky weather dialogue, 8 new secret locations, 20 new achievements, 30 new alternate app icons, and a bunch of new Easter eggs. There are six prebuilt options to choose from (including one that recreates the old v4 interface), but you can create your own and even share them with friends. Use Presets to quickly swap between different interface designs. There's never been a more customizable weather app. ![]() The system is incredibly flexible, allowing you to create entirely different designs to suit your exact needs. Add new components, rearrange them, change their design, insert additional data points, and more. Use Interface Maker to build the weather app of your dreams. There are even encyclopedia-style explanations for each data point so you can learn more about how the weather works. Hourly and daily graphs for every single data point, easy-to-read summaries for each day, moon phase charts, and more. Tap anywhere on the Weather tab to see an unparalleled level of detail. Instead of having to go digging into details screens to find out exactly when and how much it’s going to rain, or if it’s going to get really windy this afternoon, or whether visibility will get bad overnight, all that important information is now front and center. Cards surface interesting data that’s usually buried in other weather apps. CARROT’s fresh new design is cleaner, easier to navigate, and now uses native UI elements to make it fit in great alongside other iOS apps - but the app still retains the same sense of fun and personality that CARROT is so well known for. Read the announcement post or check out the highlights below: It's been in development for nearly 2 years. Version 5.0 is a complete redesign of CARROT Weather. You've never experienced weather quite like CARROT Weather. The snarky AI character known as CARROT makes the app fun and engaging, with mini-games to play, achievements to unlock, and thousands of lines of dialogue that change depending on weather conditions.īut CARROT Weather is also a professional-grade weather app with top-of-the-line features, from the notifications to the widgets to the multiple data sources to the insanely customizable user interface. CARROT Weather is a crazy-powerful weather app that delivers hilariously twisted forecasts. ![]() This project complements Vietnam’s responsibilities under the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), which it ratified in 1994. These include 40 globally threatened species and 82 species included in the Vietnam Red Data Book.Ĭonservation through community-based natural resource management is a named goal, and countering the wildlife trade are key priorities for Vietnam driven by international agreements. The diverse species include 1,300 species of plants, 76 mammals, 322 birds, 73 reptiles, 35 amphibian and 99 fish. Mammals include Asian Elephant, Wild Boar, Sambar Deer and Gaur as well as hosting all six native Vietnamese primate species. It supports several habitats, including lowland evergreen forest, lowland semi-deciduous forest, freshwater wetlands and seasonally inundated grasslands. Yet, there are fewer than ten individuals left.ĬTNP is also renowned as one of Southeast Asia’s havens for the conservation of large mammals. CTNP, one of the few lowland forest ecosystems in Southeast Asia remaining relatively intact and conservable, hosts the last population of the sub-species Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus in the world. This was expected to increase encroachment, the wildlife trade and anxiety of extinction.Īt the vanguard of conservation in Vietnam is the Javan rhinoceros. ![]() There are also plans to upgrade a track to a road within CTNP right through the Javan rhinoceros’ range. Land speculations by the richest and agricultural expansion by the poorest in Lam Dong province were resulting in encroachment onto Cat Tien National Park (CTNP). Even before the global food price rises, the choices for conserving the last population of Javan rhinoceros were looking dim. ![]() Make sure that the diagram fits on a single page and leaves space for explanatory notes too.Īlso instead of drawing dozens of sequence diagrams, find out what is common among the scenarios and focus on that.

You can talk your way out of or around almost anything with patience and the right stats.) You’ll often let foes escape instead of killing them, and then those characters just…disappear forever. ![]() (Side note: I only got in three or four fights in the entire game. This is particularly noticeable if, like me, you play the game in a mostly pacifist role. There are also plot lines that seem unfinished or prematurely truncated-hints (or even overt nods) towards a forthcoming resolution that never actually comes. ![]() And of the cast, she has probably the most satisfying narrative arc-but still, it’s a fraction of the depth and long-term development you got from companions in Planescape or Baldur’s Gate II. She has no useful skills, serves no real practical purpose, but that sliver of story is interesting enough I kept her around. Rhin, for instance, is an 11-year-old girl with a stone in her pocket that she claims is a god. It’s a shame because on the surface many are just as interesting as Planescape’s cast. Rarely will you need to talk to them again though, and aside from a single, fairly simple quest for each there’s not much in the way of character development. Oh, they’ll chime in occasionally, tossing out some fact or other about your surroundings or a certain character. Your first interaction with each is overwhelming, flush with history and trivia and character quirks. All of them seem interesting, at least to start. No, the real problem is that Tides of Numenera has so many great ideas and so many are squandered, or used once and then thrown away.Ĭompanions, for instance. At 30-odd hours long, Tides of Numenera is briefer than most isometric CRPGs, but that’s not the issue. I don’t just mean in terms of some raw “Hours Played” metric. It’s a shame then that our time in Numenera is so brief. There were rules to it all, but rules so broad it felt like anything could happen, to anyone, at any time. There, you were but a man, surrounded by angels and demons and everything in between, a cog in a machine so large you could only comprehend a fraction of a fraction of its full expanse. Planescape, a series of “planes of existence,” each one corresponding to one of the traditional Dungeons & Dragons alignments (Chaotic Good, etc.) is larger than life. It’s perhaps the only kind of story you could tell in a world like Planescape or Numenera. “A person with no name and no memory.” “Escape death.” “Immortal being.” “Prodigious talent for regeneration.” Like Planescape, Tides of Numenera is a fiercely personal story less about saving the world and more about saving one person: yourself. If you played Planescape though, some aspects should sound familiar. Thanks to your prodigious talent for regeneration, you managed to live and now have to find a place in the world. The Changing God abandoned your body as it crashed towards the ground, leaving you to die-except you didn’t. An important side effect: When the Changing God abandons a body, a new mind arises in his place, taking over the body and living out life as a Castoff, an immortal being with skills second only to the Changing God himself. See, you were created by the Changing God, a man who learned to move his mind from body to body and escape death. ![]() Richard Campbell leases the distillery to Norman Buchananīuchanan goes bankrupt, and J&K. Small Isles Distillery is founded on the Isle of Jura by Archibald Campbell ![]() Further expressions, including Jura Time and Jura Tide, have been launched into travel retail. In 2018, Jura underwent a radical revamp, introducing a completely new range of whiskies with a lightly smoky character, from the entry-level NAS expression Jura Journey through 10-, 12- and 18-year-old malts, plus Jura Seven Wood. The start of peating saw some smoky whisky being included in the no-age Superstition brand, launched in 2002, while a 100% smoked Prophecy was released in 2009. It began being sold as single malt in 1974, and the range has grown steadily since. In 1985, Invergordon Distillers bought Mackinlay and from there the firms were folded into Whyte & Mackay. With financial backing from Leith-based blender Charles Mackinlay & Co, the famous designer William Delme-Evans was hired and a large, modern distillery was built which was further expanded in 1978 to its current size. Then, in 1963, two of the island’s landowners, Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, decided to start whisky-making once more – predominantly as an incentive to stop any further decline in the island’s population. It was these economics which ruled Jura out of the distilling equation for over six decades. At Hard To Find Whisky we ship across the globe at competitive rates. The cost in running a remote island site is always expensive, and a lack of direct transport to the mainland (all ferry traffic still has to go via Islay) also counted against its survival. Discover our extensive range of Jura Single Malt from the The Islands Whisky region. The distillery went through a number of names: Craighouse, Small Isles, Caol nan Eilean, Jura, and various owners without garnering any great fame until 1901 when it was among many to close in whisky’s first great sales slump. There is debate as to whether there was a legal distillery in Lagg. Illicit distillation took place, but there was a legal site in the island’s only settlement, Craighouse, in 1810 licensed to the island’s owner Archibald Campbell. In the 18th century, it was reported that islanders made spirit from rowan berries, as well as using the bitter fruit to acidulate their whisky punch. Although the large southern Hebridean island of Jura has always been sparsely populated, it has a fascinating distilling heritage. ![]() Businesses can also run campaigns and have more customized interactions with their customers using this CRM software.

You can learn beatmatching on it manually, and also move into creative jamming with samples and even record impromptu elements with microphone (or bass!) and throw them over your mix. The Novation Nocturn could give you DJ controls that the Launchpad lacks, if you choose to go down that route. Look at the Traktor Kontrol S4 – four decks or two decks and multiple sample slots, lots of “mashup flexibility”, but also the ability to DJ completely normally too. We love the Novation Twitch, but even though you can trigger Serato ITCH’s sample decks from it now that ITCH has hit v2.1, we still think for mashups you’d find it limiting. I also want to learn to beatmatch ‘properly’.” Digital DJ Tips says: Scratching would be nice but isn’t too important, but I would like sample triggers, more cues, and splicing options. “For this I was thinking of the Novation Launchpad with Ableton bundle, but am curious what you think would be best. I already have a ton of ideas for unique pairings. “I’ve also been reading through the mashup guide you have on your site and really think that is where I’m going to make my local name and find the most creative satisfaction. I’m currently thinking the Novation Twitch might be the right controller for me to learn on, especially with that slicer, but am concerned about only having two tracks. ![]() So I am still looking for the right entry to mid-level controller. “I got close using a reggae loop from a Bob Marley track and putting it under a vocal heavily ED’d track from Kanye, got it all beatsynced and was grooving, but I didn’t have a third spot to go for the next music track. I wanted easier access to samples, and one shots, I wanted to run an acappella track and mix and cut together multiple music tracks underneath below to make live mashups. “I bought a Numark Mixtrack, but found that although my DJ skills matched the controller perfectly, my producer / musician ear had already felt like I’d outgrown it. I played in rock bands and always considered it my job to get people’s heads nodding, no matter how heavy the music, so DJing seemed perfect for me. Reader DJ Mustachio Nuts (great name!) writes: “I’ve been a musician, mostly bass, all my life which has definitely helped me understand the core job of a DJ – getting people to shake their asses! – which is what I loved about being a bass player. Our reader can’t decide between a straight DJ controller like the Twitch, or going down the Ableton Live route with something like the Novation Launchpad or the Akai APC40 (both pictured above). |
