It was very poorly conceived and received you can buy a copy for about $2. In 1000 AC, the PCs visit Chicago and New York, in the adventure IM1: The Immortal Storm.īack at the tail end of 3E D&D, WotC put out the Dungeon Survival Guide that was, in essence, a spoiler for all the famous dungeons of prior D&D editions - something along the lines of this world guide, but done for famous dungeons instead of worlds. (The Urt world map is lifted straight from the geological map of the Jurassic period.) Specifically, Urt is the Jurassic past of "D&D Earth".The Wrath of the Immortals boxed set (which replaced the Gold Box rules) says that Mystara is in a different dimension from Earth-the Dimension of Myth.This is stated in the Black Box (Masters Rules), IIRC. But in the World of Urt, that map is true. In the World of Mystara, that map is a forgery. A later DRAGON magazine article said that map was a gnomish forgery.The boundaries of the countries of Urt are exactly as depicted on the Masters Set map.In the later Poor Wizards Almanacs, Mystara was made to be much smaller in diameter than Earth.Mystara is not a megalith, unless there are hollow megaliths too.This is stated in the Gold Box, which includes monster stats for Megaliths. Urt is a megalith-the largest known life-form in the Multiverse.The name "Mystara" came much later in the publication history, through a DRAGON magazine contest though since no satisfactory names were submitted by readers, D&D Bruce Heard invented the name.The name "Urt" never appears again in any Mystara product. The name "Urt" is from Mentzer's Gold Box (Immortal Rules), which, in the monster entry for "megalith", mentions in passing that the world is named "Urt".Mystara is basically the creation of D&D brand manager Bruce Heard.Urt is basically the creation of Frank Mentzer and Francois Froideval.The D&D Gazetteer could also include the D&D World of Urt. This would make the baseline Multiverse coherent and comprehensive, while recognizing that each DM's Multiverse is an alternate parallel Multiverse. Every DM might have an different placement. This would of course only be relevant to the "WotC timeline" of the D&D Multiverse. Perhaps there could be a placement in nearly every published world (except for worlds whose themes don't match with those adventures, such as Dark Sun). The D&D gazetteer could also officially place all of the generic adventures which have ever been published. A world composed of all the generic DUNGEON magazine adventure locales.(The third film, the direct-to-DVD Book of Vile Darkness, is, according to this blurb, set in the Kingdoms of Karkoth in the D&D World of Nerath.).Arneson (who did promotional work for the film) says ( here) that in his home campaign, Izmer is located in the same world of Blackmoor(!) The Empire of Izmer, the setting for the first two D&D movies, such as they are.The world of Dragon Strike, those VCR-based D&D games.The world of the D&D Endless Quest gamebooks.The Dream Lands of Smslyvch (from the Hebrew BECMI adventures).Kolhapur (an Asian Indian-style one-off locale from 2e Star of Kolhapur).Land of Arir (an Arabian-style one-off locale from 1e Day of Al'Akbar).Desert of Desolation (exists in Faerun and Nerath and Mystara-the Ylaruam gazetteer suggested its placement there.).Karawenn (the setting of the First Quest novels for AD&D2e).Ghyr (the tie-in setting of the AD&D Action Figures) The map of Ghyr is attached to the end of the previous post. The Desert of Desolation exists in three D&D worlds. The D&D Gazetteer might as well include these places too, since they exist somewhere in the D&D Multiverse. The map of the Kingdom of Ghyr mini-setting is attached below. Other Oerth maps here, including the 3e Chainmail map of northwestern Oerik: A fourth version of Blackmoor exists: the First Fantasy Campaign version of Blackmoor is attached to the Wilderlands of High Fantasy world map from Judges Guild.) In Gygax's original home campaign, Arneson's Blackmoor was geographically originally part of the Flanaess, but for the published Greyhawk map, TSR kept only the name of "Blackmoor" as a region, but reconceived it so that it was no longer tied to Arneson's version, except that it still as the Egg of Coot, and still has a city named "Blackmoor". The Zeitgeist Blackmoor was slated to have its own world map, but Arneson died before the world map was published, as far as I know. Blackmoor (which exists in the ancient past of Mystara, on the continent of Skothar, but also exists as a separate campaign setting published by Zeitgeist Games, who had a license from WotC.

Once Get Excited! triggers, Jinx unlocks her clean-up potential, quickly repositioning to avoid threats and mowing down stragglers trying to run away. In the heat of battle, using her rocket launcher and Zap! from a distance helps whittle down enemies until she scores a kill, while Flame Chompers! create zones that opposing champs would do well to avoid. Jinx's range and damage remain potent throughout the game, making her ideal in a composition built around long-range poke. Lacking reliable peel or protection for herself, though, she relies on her positioning and her teammates to keep her alive while she sends her enemies screaming. Jinx begins to dish out the damage once teamfights break out. Whether KO-ing a low-health enemy team during an early-level Baron fight from across the map or nailing a retreating foe for the last-second kill, there's nothing a well-placed Super Mega Death Rocket! can't do. Jinx's ultimate is a global execute that picks up speed as it hurtles towards an unsuspecting victim's facial area. One thing, though, that remains to be said: there's almost never a time when a Super Mega Death Rocket! isn't just about the best possible answer to any problem. Keeping her opponents on their heels, or making it impossible for them to pressure her, helps ensure she makes it to the mid- and late-game stages where her tremendous potential truly shines. Clearing waves through liberal use of her rocket launcher's area-of-effect attacks, Jinx brings constant lane pressure. Flame Chompers! briefly snares encroaching junglers, a well-timed Zap! discourages pursuit and careful management of objectives provide a massive speed boost thanks to Get Excited! triggering when a tower falls.Īnd towers will fall. One of the most important facets to playing Jinx is harnessing the power of Switcheroo! to safely harass her enemies from a distance with her rocket launcher before unleashing a hail of minigun pain when the moment calls.ĭespite her lack of built-in escapes, Jinx stores a few maneuvers inside her hyperactive brain that help her avoid ganks. Her assortment of arms wreaks a ton of havoc, enabling her to deal brutal bouts of damage at the expense of mobility. Jinx is a versatile marksman armed with an arsenal of eclectic weapons. And right before I do, I promise you: I'm gonna wipe that stupid grin off her face. I'm gonna put her away for a long, long time. She's enjoying the time of her life, and she doesn't care who gets hurt. Ask her why she's doing it, and she'll give you a million different reasons. The worst part is: none of it makes any sense. They might as well call it the City of Crime. I can't stand her.Įverything changed the day she arrived in town. This scrawny pain in the neck shows up one day, firing heavy guns in the air. No one knows who she is, or where she came from. They call this place the City of Progress - or they did until she showed up. Layers are more easily resized, and EXIF data can be edited, for starters. Photoshop, however, still has some perks over Affinity. Layers and masking are also a big part of Affinity. The two programs aren’t identical, but Affinity Photo still includes many of the more advanced tools, like photo merging for HDR composites, panoramas, and focus stacking. While Affinity Photo’s incremental updates are free, moving from version 1.0 to 2.0 will not be.Īs the newer program, Affinity Photo launched with a cleaner, more modern design - many users say that the program feels more like using a mobile app. The developers at Affinity Photo know that the program is competing directly with an industry-standard, so the company has worked to include all the major features that Photoshop is known for. That means Affinity users can pay once and be done, whereas Photoshop users will lose access to the program if they cancel their subscriptions - but they are also automatically kept up to date with the latest version without any additional upgrade fee. Right off the bat, however, there are clear differences between the programs - because while Photoshop costs $10 a month, Affinity Photo has a one-time fee of $50. But, even for photographers that don’t own an iPad, Affinity Photo has one of the longest lists of features of any Photoshop alternative.Īffinity Photo and Photoshop have a lot in common, including non-destructive layer editing and both RGB and CMYK color spaces. While the UI is re-designed for iPad, Affinity Photo has the same tools on the mobile app as it does on Windows and Mac. While Adobe may be slowly bringing the Photoshop iPad app up-to-speed with the desktop app, Affinity Photo already has a fully-fledged iPad version.

However, if its stability then i'm highly interested as I want my video to play as smooth as possible (with acceptable quality).Įncoding time is not important to me since I can just queue them while im sleeping. What will level 3 offer over level 2.2? If its quality then i think im already ok with the picture quality. Is CRF also the same as RF? It so then yes i am using this and my setting is 10, sometimes i try 15. In handbrake, i put 720 in the width box but it automatically sets the width to 711 as shown below:Īm I right to interpret this such that even if H264 can decode at a higher size (1280x720), I should still follow the native resolution of my screen which is 800x480 ? (is that my native resolution?) You seem to be setting the width to 720 (or 800) when it's the height which is limited to 710. You're possible getting the width and height mixed up. Do you mean Handbrake automatically makes it 720? 711 isn't mod16 (it doesn't matter what you use anyway, so if you need it to be mod2, make it mod2). The latter will allow Handbrake to resize to square pixels as accurately as possible. I don't use Handbrake much, but I think the best bet would be to use anamorphic none and mod2. Anamorphic "none" will output square pixels. If you're re-encoding video with square pixels (almost everything except DVD), I'd not use anamorphic encoding myself. I assume your encoded video displays correctly? Not all hardware players support anamorphic MP4/MKV, which means they display it as though it uses square pixels. If that doesn't fix the freezing problem then reducing the number of references frames would probably be the next step. I don't have time to check it right now though. Handbrake uses different formatting for command line options than the rest of the world, so my best guess for converting x264-speak to Handbrake-speak is this. The above will work in probably every GUI except Handbrake. So you'd use Level 3 and put something like this in Handbrake's command line area (Extra Options, I think it's called). I'd probably try level 3 wile adding some extra bitrate restrictions to the command line so you're not being limited to 4000kbps by Level 2.2. Am I right on this? I'm pretty sure you are. Since the manual says the max bit rate is 8000 kbps, then I assumed that it is level 2.2 since lev3 is max 10,000kbps and level 2.2 is 4000kbps. However, it doesn't state what level I should use.

This is the media info of the original file. Note: When using xvid, the video plays without any problems on my head unit (i use Xvid4PSP to encode but the thing is, audio is not as good - only mp3 320bit- and batch conversion gets errors in xvid4psp) xvid file size is 500-600MB My computer for encoding = i7 (3.6Ghz 3820) 32GB ram multiple Hard drive Geforce 660ti Äudio = AC3 / Codec = AAC (faac) Bitrate = 160 In this regard, can you give me the most basic setting (baseline) so that my head unit will not have a hard time in decoding the video. I am converting the revolution TV series and original MKV file size is around 1.7GB and the h264/mp4 output is around 700-800MB.

All three models were offered with the option of a 24-inch scale and 22-fret neck or a 22.5-inch scale and 21-fret neck the 24-inch scale proved to be the most popular of these options. The Mustang body was larger and slightly offset, and was fitted with a plastic pickguard but with the volume and tone controls mounted on a separate metal plate. In 1964, following the release of the Fender Mustang, both the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic were redesigned using Mustang neck and body blanks. At this time, the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic both received a plastic pickguard in place of the previous anodized aluminum one, and a two-piece maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. There was one major redesign of these two Musicmaster-bodied guitars, in 1959 when the entire Fender catalog was updated. The Duo-Sonic and Musicmaster also shared a single-piece maple neck and fingerboard, with a 22.5 inch scale length and 21 frets. Production of the Musicmaster began in late April of that year, using a body routed for two pickups to be common to the Duo-Sonic, which followed a little more than two months later. Prototypes were made in early 1956, followed by sales literature announcing both models. Musicians such as David Byrne and Liz Phair used a Fender Musicmaster.ĭesign work on the Musicmaster-and its two-pickup variant Duo-Sonic-began in late 1955 following a request from Fender Sales.
