    Myth II 1.4.1 - Manual Install Guide

    Myth II 1.4.1 - Manual Install Guide About | Installation | Online Gameplay | Credits | Changelog About Myth II 1.4.1 Myth v1.4 features over 100 enhancements, bug fixes and new features to Myth II: Soulblighter, in the areas of: graphics; interface improvements; elimination of plugin lag; elimination of chat lag; elimination of the 'walking bug', new mapmaking features; AI improvements and bug fixes; optional vTFL (virtual TFL) gameplay, which effectively brings both games and communities to the same program; and much, much more. 1.4.1 adds several improvements over 1.4, including faster OpenGL and Direct3D; 1.3/1.4 film support; melee fixes; better widescreen zooming; separated vTFL and anticlump options; F10 now a toggle; along with many more gameplay fixes and refinements. Installation Steps 1. In this archive you will find an application/executable; put it in your Myth II directory. Overwrite the old file that is present. 2. Also in this archive is a “Myth 2 EEL” file. Put it in the same directory as the application/executable. This file is needed only if you intend to use MariusNet, but it will not hurt PlayMyth users. 3. You will have a “For plugins” folder in the same directory as your new Myth II application/executable. Move all the files from the plugins directory in this archive to that directory. Do not move over the folder itself or you will overwrite all of your plugins. Note: If you are using the Chimera interface do not copy over the "Patch 1.4 Interface" file or you will overwrite the Chimera Interface.

D.) en études cinématographiques Août 2011 © Dominic Arsenault, 2011 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée : Des typologies mécaniques à l‘expérience esthétique : fonctions et mutations du genre dans le jeu vidéo Présentée par : Dominic Arsenault a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Olivier Asselin, président-rapporteur Bernard Perron, directeur de recherche Samuel Archibald, membre du jury Renée Bourassa, examinatrice externe Sébastien Roy, représentant du doyen de la FES i Résumé Cette thèse examine en profondeur la nature et l‘application du concept de genre en jeu vidéo. Elle se divise en trois parties. La première fait l‘inventaire des théories des genres en littérature et en études cinématographiques. Les propriétés essentielles du genre comme concept sont identifiées : il s‘agit d‘une catégorisation intuitive et irraisonnée, de nature discursive, qui découle d‘un consensus culturel commun plutôt que de systèmes théoriques, et qui repose sur les notions de tradition, d‘innovation et d‘hybridité. Dans la deuxième partie, ces constats sont appliqués au cas du genre vidéoludique. Quelques typologies sont décortiquées pour montrer l‘impossibilité d‘une classification autoritaire. Un modèle du développement des genres est avancé, lequel s‘appuie sur trois modalités : l‘imitation, la réitération et l‘innovation.
  • COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen

    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen

    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.
  • The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

Arguably the greatest collaboration in the whole history of comedy! Terry Jones of Monty Python wrote the book. In the nude! Parents be warned! Most of the words Starship Titanic: A Novel this book were Starship Titanic: A Novel by a naked man! You want to argue with that? All right, we give in. Starship Titanic is the greatest, most fabulous, most technologically advanced interstellar Starship Titanic: A Novel line ever built. Furthermore, it cannot possibly go wrong. And disappears. Coming home that night, on a little known planet called Earth, Dan and Lucy Gibson find something very large and very, very shiny sticking into their house. The saga of "the ship that cannot possibly go wrong" sparkles with wit, danger, and confusion that will keep readers Starship Titanic: A Novel which reality they are in and how, on earth, to find their way out again. At the center of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions: the launching of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced Starship ever built-the Starship Titanic. An earthling would see it as a mixture of the Starship Titanic: A Novel Building, the tomb of Tutankhamen, and Venice. He is an old man now, and the creation of the Starship Titanic is the pinnacle achievement of his twenty-year career. The night before the launch, Leovinus is prowling around the ship having a last little look.
  • Halo Engine Ancestry Statistics

    Halo Engine Ancestry Statistics

    HALO ENGINE ANCESTRY The Halo 2 engine is a direct-line descendant of the 1992 Pathways into Darkness engine originally written by Bungie for 68000 Macs using MPW and C. Not much remains except math functions and overall architecture, but the engine definitely has old roots. The path of descent runs through PiD to Marathon to Myth to Halo. In recent years it has shifted away from being primarily a player-driven renderer to being primarily a world simulation. I’m going to talk about two main philosophies that you can trace through the engine and most of its components. 1. The unified resource model, editing and import tools, general memory layout, filesystem and streaming architecture. 2. Our approach to runtime data organization, memory allocation and world state. STATISTICS • 1.5M lines in 3,624 files for 52.9MB of code (mostly C, some C++, very little asm) • Compile time for clean build of typical development build: 7:39 • Compile time for final shipping build (includes LTCG): 10:06 • Final executable size: 4,861,952 bytes • Total assets under source control: 70 GB not counting localization • Time to load a level, development build: 4 minutes • Time to compile a level for shipping build: 9 minutes • Time for complete build of all binaries on build farm: 18 minutes • Time for complete build of all map resources on build farm: 53 minutes • Size of final game: 4.2 GB • Development time: 34 months • Breakdown of production staff (56): o 17 engineers o 11 environment artists o 8 game artists o 7 designers o 6 animators o 3 producers o 3 sound designers o 1 technical artist • Breakdown of support staff (59): o 2 administrative o 8 web / community o 5 test engineers o 10 test staff o 20 hourly testers o 14 localization testers RESOURCE MODEL We use a unified model for the majority of our game resource data called “tags”.
