I created the website sometime during January 2011. (( Perttu Ahola )) It was first published to a private IRC channel for testing, and after about a week I published it on a public programming channel on IRCnet called #ohjelmointiputka. (( WN )) When was Minetest first available to public? The first contributor appeared six months after. Back then it was exactly what the name implies. (( WN )) How many core-developers were working on the development at that time? (( Perttu Ahola )) At the beginning of October 2010. (( WN )) When did you start working on Minetest initially? But initially it was the challenge, and the mystery of how a game world like this works under the hood. (( Perttu Ahola )) Initially I took it as a challenge, but after a year of working on it, it turned into this weird quest of trying to figure out what can be done with it that Mojang (now Microsoft) won't do. (( WN )) What made you want to create Minetest? When I was a kid I programmed using BASIC on my dad's computers and at school and university I attended programming courses and learned more languages. (( Perttu Ahola )) I've had programming as a hobby my entire life. (( WN )) How did you find out about programming? I'm a programmer and electronics geek from Finland. Although I'm usually called "celeron55" on the Internet, my real name is Perttu Ahola. This interview is built on top of the previous interview, as we take a deeper dive into knowing more about this free game which is about to turn ten years old in a few months.įile photo of Perttu Ahola. Minecraft is currently owned by Microsoft, and performs poorly on older hardware.Ī correspondent from French Wikinews contacted Perttu Ahola via Internet Relay Chat a few weeks ago, discussing Minecraft. Minecraft, on the other hand, is a paid game, currently costing USD 26.95 for its computer version. According to Ahola, Minetest attempts to run on older hardware, with limited graphics, but to be accessible to more people: those who have outdated technology, and making it available for no cost. It is written in the C++ programming language, and the source code is available on code-hosting site GitHub. Minetest is an open-source game, which is free for anyone to download and play. Minecraft is a multi-platform commercial game, which was in alpha version when Ahola challenged himself to create something similar to it from scratch, he told Wikinews. Started in October 2010, Minetest was an attempt by Ahola to create a sandbox game similar to Minecraft. Recently, Finnish open-source video game developer Perttu Ahola discussed Minetest, his "longest ever project", with Wikinews. Ken Kwapis helmed the iconic chick flick ‘The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants,’ adapting the young adult novel by Ann Brashares for the millennial generation. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (2005) With stellar acting and character-driven storytelling, the movie packs a lot of girl power. As the four women get some room to breathe, their lives turn for the better. On the other hand, Robin dumps her high-profile lover, and Gloria’s husband reveals he is gay. While Savannah breaks up with her married lover, Bernadine’s husband plans to leave her for a white co-worker. It portrays the intersecting and contrasting lives of four friends, Savannah, Robin, Bernadine, and Gloria. Adapting Terry McMillan’s eponymous bestselling novel for the screen with a brilliant cast ensemble and an equally dreamy score, this movie is a chick flick with an African American perspective. Waiting to Exhale (1995)įorest Whitaker helmed ‘Waiting to Exhale’ with a female-centric vision and a solid directorial impression. If you ever want a heated debate on a girls’ night out, this movie will spark it off. However, they remain unaware that they are rivals in real life. A bookstore chain owner meets the owner of a small book shop online, and they embark upon cheesy online dating. In 1998, Nora Ephron revived the pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the romantic comedy-drama movie ‘ You’ve Got Mail.’ The horrors of gentrification and big conglomerates eating up small businesses notwithstanding, the film is one of the first ones to elaborate on the idea of online dating. The popular title is a quintessential girl-bonding movie that demands your watch. While some may be prone to compare the movie with its precursor series, it still packs a lot of drama if you meet the characters for the first time. Big, but the main event goes sideways with the elaborate wedding planning and preparation. In his feature directorial debut, Michael Patrick King helmed the romantic comedy movie ‘Sex and the City.’ The movie continues the story of the vastly popular series of the same name, bringing together Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda, for another detour through New York City. While the result may come off as silly fun in Hollywood-esque fairyland, who wants to be always serious anyways? If you are looking for a fantastic take on the genre, here is the movie you can bank on. However, after she meets Char, an instant cup of romance begins to brew. In turn, Ella stays mostly mum, even when her stepmother and stepsisters torment her. Ella lives in the mythical kingdom of Lamia, where her fairy godmother endows her with the gift of “obedience” during her birth. Tommy O’Haver’s fantasy comedy movie ‘Ella Enchanted’ shines as Anne Hathaway delivers a charming performance in the central role. If you want to return to your high school days, this is a cinematic journey you should hop on. They decide to meet at the school dance, but can this modern Cinderella escape her gloomy fate? Following her stint at Disney, Hillary Duff delivers a graceful performance. She meets the charming savior, “Nomad,” online and strikes a with the guy. The retelling of the classic fairy tale revolves around Sam, whose stepmother and stepsisters exploit and torture her after her father’s death. While Mark Rosman’s romantic comedy movie ‘ A Cinderella Story‘ notably did not impress the critics, it still manages to churn a gooey feel-good ambiance while it lasts. It's getting harder and harder to race at places like Hockenheimring, Suzuka, and Zolder. As far as driving perspectives go, Slightly Mad Studios appears to be the only one with an apex-tracking helmet view in Shift 2 / Project Cars although similarly to racing wheels, you can pretty easily adapt immersion peripherals such as TrackIR or an Occulus to most games.Īside from tracks like Spa, Silverstone / Donnington, and Mount Panorama, every other racing game seems to go different directions with their circuit selection (unless you pay for iRacing). If you're looking for something that isn't Forza, then you'd probably mod the heck out of rFactor 1/2 or Raceroom experience Any of the Codemasters games, while arcadey at times and limited in customization, are still loads of fun (though avoid F1 unless you're really into single seaters). With such a vast amount of choice, you’re sure to find a car that suits your driving style So let’s now have a look at each of the categories of rFactor 2 cars. I'm in the same boat in that Shift 2, despite having a bespoke engine and 2011 graphics, is still a pretty solid game if you want endurance racing and a variety of cars (plus works packages for popular classes like GT3 and Super GT). RFactor 2 has got an impressive amount of 93 cars ranging from GT3s to Formula cars including even stock cars and touring cars. rFactor Central The worlds largest site for rFactor racing simulation PC game by ISI, Image Space Incorporated.

How to change chassis according to track: Several graphics improvements (updated car shaders)Ĥ unique chassis (Reynard, Lola, Swift Replace the hockey mask above with Poplar's hood which has 2 lower DR than the hockey mask but can be worn with the ghoul mask producing 5 DR rather than 4.The tribal armor can be repaired with common T-45d power armor while the hockey mask is immune to item damage and can be repaired (if found damaged) with regular hockey masks. Permanent DR of 73%, +1 Strength, +1 Luck, -1 Agility, +5 melee weapons and +65 AP with the permanent perks below and Action Boy/Action Girl, tribal power armor and Ledoux's hockey mask. This produces perfect SPECIAL stats with the exception of Agility which will be 9 due to the power armor effect. Vault Boy bobbleheads until level 30 has been achieved.

For player characters who prefer non-power armor, they can still obtain a permanent DR of 82% (79% without The Pitt add-on) with ranger battle armor, ghoul mask, the ranger battle helmet and the perks listed below. Enclave Hellfire armor can be found, but it is rare (only obtainable with Broken Steel loaded). Note that these numbers assume a fully repaired suit of armor, which, when the T-51b armor is actually being worn, is only possible if the player character boosts Crazy Wolfgang's repair skill to 100 by reverse pickpocketing workman's coveralls from Point Lookout onto him because there is only one copy of this armor and it can only be repaired by non-player characters. Without the additional content, one would still be able to obtain a maximum DR of 91% with power armor. Combined with the five permanent perks (34%), this gives the maximum DR without drugs, nor having less than 20 percent of hitpoints. The T-51b power armor and the Enclave Hellfire power armor plus their respective helmets have a max DR of 60. This makes the effects of Nerd Rage! and Med-X somewhat less useful, as even without chems, the Lone Wanderer can permanently gain up to 94% Damage Resistance through equipment and perks (with The Pitt additional content). The maximum Damage Resistance is 85%, regardless of whether this value is obtained by armor, perks, drugs, or a combination of these. The Prizefighter reputation title will increase normal DR by 5%.The Phoenix Assault Enhancement implants increase laser, fire, and plasma DR by 10%.The Phoenix Armor Implants increase laser, fire, and plasma DR by 5%.The Dermal Impact Assault Enhancement implants increase normal and explosive DR by 10%.The Dermal Impact Armor implants increase normal and explosive DR by 5%.The Toughness perk increases normal DR by 10% per rank.The Damage Resistance Modifier of ammo can preemptively reduce the DR of a target.As the equation suggests, DR is capped at 90%, and any damage that goes past DT has a minimum of 1. While DT can completely negate the damage done, DR cannot. More specifically, after AC is checked for a successful hit and after DT is checked to reduce the damage, if there is any incoming damage, DR applies:į i n a l = max ( 1, A d j u s t e d × 100 − min ( D R, 90 ) 100 ) DR occupies the "final step" for combat and simulates the effect of how armor can help diffuse the energy of a bullet and reduce its lethality (like real-life body armor). The other stats are AC ( Armor Class) and DT ( Damage Threshold). In the original Fallout games, DR (Damage Resistance) is one of three stats by which a character can reduce or avoid damage.

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden packs a high-frequency sword and cuts enemies down mercilessly. Raiden, soldier turned cyborg, is the perfect skin players should try while browsing for Devil May Cry 5 mods. It is why we have suggested top five character mods that players will find relatable and at the same time enjoyable to try in the game. Replacing them with more conventional characters from other popular games is our primary focus in the Character Mods section. DMC 3 and DMC 4 Weapons and style switch SFXĭante, Nero, Vergil, and V, the top four characters, are the meat of Devil May Cry 5.So, yet again, we have come up with the top ten Devil May Cry 5 characters, and random mods players should at least give it a whirl after finishing the game. Previously, we suggested a couple of amazing mods for Risk of Rain 2 and State of Decay 2 game for players to try. This is where Devil May Cry 5 mods come in, and they refresh the game’s replay value by bringing in new additions to the game unofficially.Īs always, PC is the go-to platform if you want to apply mods to a game, because developers restrict all sorts of modifications on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. After that, everything starts to become dry, and players lose interest. But, of course, a linear game is enjoyable as long as you beat the story to 100%. The game lived onto the expectations of the previous installments and delivered an engaging story, fantastic combat coupled with striking modern visuals. Devil May Cry 5 features the return of iconic fan-favorite trio from the series such as Dante, Nero, Vergil, and a new playable character called ‘V’. Your hacks have a cooldown period before you can use them again.
"I'd been working on a smartphone before with my cousin," Freund tells me. The same with GTA V, the local couldn't use it at all."Īs impressive as Shadow is, it began life as something even more ambitious – a streamed, high-end-low-cost smartphone. After that, we had them load Photoshop and the local one wasn't able to do it at all, and the cloud one was doing it in seconds. They thought the local machine was on the cloud, because it was running slower. We asked people to use them, just web browsing to start with, and guess which one was the cloud one. Exactly the same, but on one we put our system, and on the other everything was local. "We had two laptop computers, very low end. "That was one of our first demonstrations, when we were raising money!" Freund recalls. You can even load and unload drivers – it's your own computer, you can do exactly as you'd like to do, Photoshop, high-end games, everything." "You're free to use it as a normal computer – alter settings, you can see the graphics card specs, everything. "It's exactly like a computer – you put your username and password, there's two-factor authentication on your phone, and you arrive on a normal Windows computer," Blade co-founder and CEO Emmanuel Freund explains. Except Shadow isn't actually a gaming provider at all – it's an entire high-end PC, streamed from the cloud. At a glance, the basic pitch appears to be cut from similar cloth – a cloud-based service, seemingly tailor-made for delivering games to an audience ready to leave consoles and physical purchases behind. Step forward little-known French startup Blade. With issues of hardware prowess, latency, and meagre software selection to deal with, OnLive - and most other challengers - have fallen by the wayside. Nobody can quite work out how to tackle the game streaming conundrum. If you’re running Docker, you can install Filebeat as a container on your host and configure it to collect container logs or log files from your host. Tee -a /etc/apt//elastic-7.x.listĪll that’s left to do is to update your repositories and install Filebeat: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install filebeat The next step is to add the repository definition to your system: echo "deb stable main" | sudo Install Filebeat using Aptįor an easier way of updating to a newer version, and depending on your Linux distro, you can use Apt or Yum to install Filebeat from Elastic’s repositories:įirst, you need to add Elastic’s signing key so that the downloaded package can be verified (skip this step if you’ve already installed packages from Elastic): wget -qO - | sudo apt-key add. However, we recommend Fluentd or FluentBit so that your data collection can remain vendor neutral. You can also use Beats versions earlier than 7.13 to send log data to managed services like Logz.io, which provides log management-as-a-service (based on OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards), so you don’t have to manage the data infrastructure yourself. I will outline two methods, using Apt and Docker, but you can refer to the official docs for more options. It only requires that you have a running ELK Stack to be able to ship the data that Filebeat collects. You can download and install Filebeat using various methods and on a variety of platforms. Since Filebeat is no longer vendor-neutral, many engineers are looking to open source alternatives like Fluentd or FluentBit for log collection, which would enable them to easily pivot across observability back ends with minimal reconfiguration. This defeats a key reason why engineers bother with open source telemetry data collection in the first place: to enable the freedom to easily migrate from one observability back-end to the other without having to rip and replace the data collection. Furthermore, Elastic introduced breaking changes to Filebeat, which would prevent compatibility with databases that weren’t Elasticsearch. Sadly, in early 2021, the ELK Stack was closed sourced by the company who maintains the project, Elastic. Filebeat’s complicated history with open sourceįilebeat grew into one of most (if not the most) popular log shipping agents in the world as an open source component that shipped log data to the ELK Stack. If there is an ingestion issue with the output, Logstash or Elasticsearch, Filebeat will slow down the reading of files. For example, Filebeat records the last successful line indexed in the registry, so in case of network issues or interruptions in transmissions, Filebeat will remember where it left off when re-establishing a connection. Written in Go and based on the Lumberjack protocol, Filebeat was designed to have a low memory footprint, handle large bulks of data, support encryption, and deal efficiently with back pressure. Filebeat was originally most often used in tandem with Logstash – however recent developments have improved Filebeat’s log processing capabilities, making it an appropriate replacement for Logstash in some cases. In an ELK-based logging pipeline, Filebeat plays the role of the logging agent-installed on the machine generating the log files, tailing them, and forwarding the data to either Logstash for more advanced processing or directly into Elasticsearch for indexing. Filebeat, as the name implies, ships log files. Each beat is dedicated to shipping different types of information - Winlogbeat, for example, ships Windows event logs, Metricbeat ships host metrics, and so forth. What is Filebeat?įilebeat is a log shipper belonging to the Beats family - a group of lightweight shippers installed on hosts for shipping different kinds of data into the ELK Stack for analysis. We’ll also take a look at Logz.io’s Filebeat configuration Wizard, which simplifies implementation. This Filebeat tutorial seeks to give those getting started with it the tools and knowledge they need to install, configure and run it to ship data into the other components in the ELK stack. |
