(For the same reason, the glossary's information on eight-ball, nine-ball, and ten-ball draws principally on the stable WPA rules, because there are many competing amateur leagues and even professional tours with divergent rules for these games.)įoreign-language terms are generally not within the scope of this list, unless they have become an integral part of billiards terminology in English (e.g. Blackball was chosen because it is less ambiguous ("eight-ball pool" is too easily confused with the international standardized " eight-ball"), and blackball is globally standardized by an International Olympic Committee-recognized governing body, the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) meanwhile, its ancestor, eight-ball pool, is largely a folk game, like North American bar pool, and to the extent that its rules have been codified, they have been done so by competing authorities with different rulesets. The term "blackball" is used in this glossary to refer to both blackball and eight-ball pool as played in the UK, as a shorthand. Similarly, British terms predominate in the world of snooker, English billiards, and blackball, regardless of the players' nationalities. However, due to the predominance of US-originating terminology in most internationally competitive pool (as opposed to snooker), US terms are also common in the pool context in other countries in which English is at least a minority language, and US (and borrowed French) terms predominate in carom billiards. The terms "American" or "US" as applied here refer generally to North American usage. The labels " British" and " UK" as applied to entries in this glossary refer to terms originating in the UK and also used in countries that were fairly recently part of the British Empire and/or are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, as opposed to US (and, often, Canadian) terminology. The term " billiards" is sometimes used to refer to all of the cue sports, to a specific class of them, or to specific ones such as English billiards this article uses the term in its most generic sense unless otherwise noted.

![]() Thanks to yurple1 for the information in the Additional Step section of this guide. Please leave any comments or feedback below. The website PC Gamer recently published a review/retrospective detailing more of the game.Ĭonversion/Mod installed on a Windows 7 PC but was not completed, please be aware there may be bugs. (be sure to select winquake on xmen launcher if you use a 圆4 windows).Įxtra Info. There are a ton of choices for X-Men fans to play, but it has been a good while since a new entry was given to fans. The X-Men characters known to fans are all unplayable NPCs. The game features 3 playable characters who were created for the game. This should create a seperate launch icon for X-men. The most recent X-Men game doesn't actually allow players to play as any known X-Men. Simply select the X-Men executable located in the xmen folder of your installed Quake directory and add it to steam. Popular SNES emulators include ZSNES v1.36 for Windows, ZSNES v1.36 for DOS, Snes9x v1.41-1 for Windows. To play SNES roms, an emulator is required. If you wish not to edit the Quake command line to switch to X-men you can add it as a non steam game by selecting the "Add a Non-Steam to my Library" under the Games tab or Library section of the client. Rom recommendations tailored to you (the more roms you rate or add to your collection, the better the recommendations become). Optional Step, Adding an X-men dedicated shortcut to Steam. If you wish to disable the mod remove the "-game xmen" command line from the launch options. Launch Quake enjoy and please keep in mind the game is hard even on low dificulty settings. Once there type "-game xmen" without quotes and click okay. ![]() In the general tab click "set launch options". First right click the Quake icon in the steam library and choose properties. In order for the game to startup you will need to start up quake with the "-game modname" commandline. Unzip the sourcecode folder to your recently created xmen directory replacing the progs.dat folder Unzipping the game there should create a folder simply named xmen.įor example - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\quake\xmen Once you download the game unzip the Xmen mod to your quake directory located in a folder called common in the steam apps folder of your steam directoryįor example - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake Download X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse and the sourcecode folder from the creators website below. In fact I recommend doing this first before playing Xmen as it also adds features from the new engine enhancing the graphics. A solution for this is to install the Ultimate Quake Patch found here in the Quake Steam Guides Section and play using the music from Quake. As such the music for Xmen will also not play. The copy of Quake steam installs does not have or play original music. Thank you for all of your support throughout the years - CoolROM will continue strong.This guide assumes that you're installing this game as a mod and have the full version of Quake installed on your computer already.īefore you begin. We feel we have reached this goal and helped cure more cases of nostalgia than we could have ever imagined. From the very beginning, our goal was to allow users to re-live classic moments from video games that they have lost and cannot purchase anymore.

This page has been removed due to a request from Nintendo of America Inc. ![]() And the gifted directors behind them are in danger of disappearing as well. While we weren’t looking, the mid-budget adult-oriented motion picture has all but disappeared. As Mad Men’s Matthew Weiner put it, “Something happened that nobody can make a movie between $500,000 and $80 million. Movies that don’t fit into that box (thoughtful dramas, dark comedies, oddball thrillers, experimental efforts) were relegated to the indies, where freedom is greater, but resources are far more limited. Studios began to make fewer films, betting big on would-be blockbusters, operating under the assumption that large investments equal large returns. But slowly, quietly, over roughly the decade and a half since the turn of the century, the paradigm shifted. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, when Waters and Lynch were doing their most commercially successful work, it was possible to finance - either independently or via or the studio system - mid-budget films (anywhere from $5 million to $60 million) with an adult sensibility. “You’ve seen waves of things go up and down, but maybe the arthouse will be back in vogue, and they’ll reappear all over the place again. There’s not a whole lot that any of us can do about it,” David Lynch, who hasn’t directed a feature since 2006’s Inland Empire, explained over the summer. But it’s instructive, and sad, that when Waters - a well-dressed dandy of notorious sexual appetites - compiles his biggest fantasies, the very first one is of someone doing what people used to do all the time: giving him money to make a movie.Īnd Waters isn’t the only beloved filmmaker harboring this fantasy. The scene was part of “The Best That Could Happen,” a novella of perfect, imaginary hitchhiking encounters, within Carsick. There was no Harris, and there was no five million dollars. There was only one problem with Harris’ offer: It was a total fantasy. “You pay me back if it ever breaks even.” “I explain that I had a development deal to make Fruitcake,” Waters writes, but on the eve of that dark holiday comedy’s production, “the recession happened, the independent film business as I knew it fell apart, and now all the distributors and film financiers want the budgets to be under $2 million, which I can’t do anymore.” His traveling companion told Waters, “I’ll back it,” pledging five million dollars cash. ![]() ![]() They talked for a bit about movies before Harris asked the (five) million-dollar question: “How come you aren’t making a movie?” According to his hitchhiking chronicle Carsick, his very first driver was “Harris,” “an art school type” with a sideline in weed dealing who called himself a fan. We’ve selected it as one of the posts we’re republishing for our 10th anniversary celebrations in May 2017.Įarlier this year, John Waters - whose last movie, A Dirty Shame, was released a full decade ago - finally got the offer he’d been waiting for all this time.

We will concern ourselves with a standard servo motor for this article. Instead of using the PWM signals for controlling the angle of motion, it uses them to control speed and torque. Continuous motion servo motor: This servo motor rotates continuously.Hence it finds applications in projects like robotic arms, wing flap control of an airplane, etc. Standard/Limited motion servo motor: This servo motor usually rotates up to a maximum of 180 degrees.How to select a suitable Servo Motor for an Arduino project? If the pulse sent is different from the previous one, the motor will change position accordingly. So if you wish to hold the position, send the same pulse 20ms apart. The refresh rate of the servo is about 20ms. A maximum pulse of about 2ms turns the servo to 180 degrees. A neutral position is the one from where it can potentially turn equal distances in either direction. A neutral pulse (around 1.5ms) is required to get the shaft in a neutral position. There are three types of pulses that a servo recognizes.Ī minimum pulse is a pulse needed for the servo to stay at 0 degrees of rotation. The control is done by giving a pulse of a particular duration to the control wire. We have a complete guide on how to use PWM with an Arduino Uno. You need to use pulse width modulation to control the angle of rotation. How to control the angle of a servo motor? Conversely, it will run at minimum speed when the shaft needs to turn a small distance. Proportional control: The motor will run at maximum speed when the shaft needs to turn a considerable distance. The distance to be traveled is proportional to the applied power. Quite unlike the DC motors that run in complete loops as long as power is supplied to it. This motor allows you to rotate to a certain degree. Whenever you have a requirement where you need to control the angle of rotation of the axis of a motor, you can use the servo motor. Or, more commonly, in robotic applications. The servo motor is usually needed for electromechanical projects. Why should we interface the servo motor with Arduino?

This article is about what this acquisition means for makers, and for Autodesk. I wanted to spend time talking about this because I don’t want the comments here to have the same things I mentioned here (Ads! Pro accounts! All the steps!). Instructables recently added a lot of editorial staff to make the site better, pushing the good content out more. If I was 10 years old now, I’d post some stuff too that experts would hate on, but that’s the nature of the site when you have this many people sharing. ![]() I understand some of the projects aren’t that great. Again, this is all before Autodesk bought them earlier this week. I also know some “experts” don’t like many of the basic, simple, or in their words “just plain wrong” projects on Instructables. As far as charging money for anything or having ads, many people do not like that MAKE has ads, or has a print magazine that costs money to subscribe to and that we charge most attendees money for tickets to Maker Faire. I think that’s not likely now, but I’ll talk about this later in the article. I would still like to pay for a package that lets me run my own Instructables on the sites I work on. I always wanted a version of Instructables I could download and run on my server like you can with WordPress. I have a pro membership because I’ve used it for work. As Instructables gets more resources to hire, we might see UI changes and better browsing experiences.įor my viewing, I use an ad blocker like many people do for many sites. I don’t use it since I don’t know how or if my log in would be stored on another site. It also handles things like logging in so you can view everything. ![]() Instructabliss is a site that I’ve seen posted a few times it loads pages from Instructables and puts all the different pages on one single page. Usually “more ads” and “more ways to make money” happen after an acquisition. I wanted to mention this first because these are things before they were acquired by Autodesk. That didn’t happen - the site only got bigger. At the time, it was the biggest controversy, and commenters claimed it would be the end of the site in six months. Instructables did this during the advertising downturn in 2008/2009 when the site needed to generate revenue to pay people and staff. Needing to log in to see all steps, PDF downloads, less ads? This requires a pro membership (starting at $1.95/month). Instructables is ad supported - there are ads, lots of them.

This is a due to the inability to added required AI markers since the files are compiled making them unreadable. Most player-made maps currently show up incorrectly in the preview box because they have to piggy back off an existing skirmish map's layout and ID to work. Many people have managed to port maps into skirmish from the campaign which would then be modded with mass points and spawn markers despite the fact that the game developer's have not released any sort of map editor or any other form of assistance. If you do not, you might seriously impair the game by accident. It should be noted that when using mods one should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS backup the original game files. Nonetheless, people have managed to find ways that successfully introduce new maps and units, many of which are from the previous Supreme Commander, into the game. Officially Supreme Commander 2 was declared early on to be uneditable by Chris Taylor. So I do not know if issues like having to own game SC-2 to be able to download mod or if it can be put to work without original game, I really have no idea. Of course download would be great 3 or 4gb to pull every SC-2 game could decrease pulling out campaign, focused only on multiplayer. ![]() I believe it's initially implemented in the FA in the new engine, a mod just as we have section for Xtreme Wars, Nomads, Phamtom-X, etc. I really have not thought of all the details, it has to be rather a mod within the FAF. You would need to reverse engineer the whole network code. the binary protocol of the client and the binary structure of replay files). This was possible because some Forged Alliance devs gave Ze_Pilot some documentation about gpgnet (i.e. FAF is basically a reimplementation of the old gpgnet. That does not make it magically work with FAF. I think I even posted the wrong place It was to have posted this on their forum. Now it would be much easier for them to remake an FA, they are making new game. Map issues and explosions have you seen map pack Revamp? Explosions? This mod gave life to the SC-2 are doing excellent work. I think a mistake here many feel total aversion to SC-2 a mere mention in this game, already saying that they do not like. I do not see why you can not do FA remake on SC-2. Let's suppose that it works, someone decides to make mod using engine clear that this will take some time to leave a beta, until today Nomads is in development. If you are part videos you will see FAF video ( ) I personally advertise the FAF Steam forum and I also did my part and translated the game to "Portuguese-Brazil" I believe there must be other ways, like marketing, translation into other languages. Īs for the current problem, loss of players, no new players enter. Still has developers in the mods, will come and tweaks are updated.Įrror there was to try to fix SC-2 to look like FA, the correct thing would be to forget SC-2 and transport everything there, just taking advantage of engine. I'm giving an idea of migrations to engine SupCom 2, someone here works with mods, you can get interested, get mod SupCom 2 and continue. Is not it a suggestion here? I did not say to end FAF and I did not even say this would solve current FAF problems. So suddenly and ready there is no more FAF. How would a different engine while maintaining the gameplay change any of this? So I do not see why we can not have Forged Alliance Forever 2 with the same current game, but only using the new Supreme Commander 2 engine. Units T1, T2, T3, yes you have option to upgrade the engineers: If you check out a lot of FA things already exist in SC-2 as the adjacency bonus below: The idea or suggestion is to transport the entire Forged Alliance to Supcom 2 by removing units that already exist in Supcom 2. And that's not what you would like to be fulfilled. More mod Revamp is a mix of SupCom 2 + Forged Alliance + New units created by developers. This I am suggesting there was already attempt to do more was abandoned:Ĭurrent most playable mod Supreme Commander 2 is Revamp and many units have been withdrawn from the Forged Alliance as every Aeons navy: Supreme Commander 2 uses a superior engine to the Forged Alliance: My suggestion is to migrate to better engine and we already have it. The current Forged Alliance engine works old but still playable, including excellent FAF work has given life to this game has been abandoned. Anyway it should not be a Supreme Commander 3. We all know that it is far from leaving a Supreme Commander 3, the last statements of Cris Taylor, is that he is working on a cross-platform RTS, to play on TV, Cellular, X-Box and Computer. |
