![]() Some have gotten Doom 3 to run on unsupported cards such as a 3dfx Voodoo2, however this video chipset was incapable of rendering anything beyond the polygons and textures, such as the per-pixel lighting and bump mapping. While John Carmack initially warned gamers not to purchase the GeForce 4 MX (which was an improved GeForce 2), its somewhat widespread adoption compelled id Software to enable Doom 3 to run on these cards, making it the only DirectX 7.0 chip capable of running Doom 3. Owners of pre-DirectX 8.0 cards were able to use a powerful CPU to compensate for the lack of hardware Transform, clipping, and lighting (T&L) in DirectX 7.0 titles, however DirectX 8.0 calculations were far too complex for a DirectX 7.0 card or a fast CPU. Id Tech 4 resulted in the obsolescence of DirectX 7.0 graphics chips such as the widespread GeForce 2 and Radeon 7200, as well as DirectX 6.0 chipsets such as RIVA TNT2 and Rage 128, and software rendering (with an integrated Intel GMA). By E3 2002, the recommended GPU was the Radeon 9700 while its DirectX 9.0 features are not necessary to render the game, its advanced architecture, 256-bit memory bus, and efficiency were needed to run Doom 3 at high detail and playable speed. Other important features of Doom 3 engine are normal mapping and specular highlighting of textures, realistic handling of object physics, dynamic, ambient soundtrack and multi-channel sound.Ī disadvantage of id Tech 4 was that it needed a high-end graphics processing unit (GPU), which was at least DirectX 8.0 compliant with fully programmable vertex and pixel shaders, such as the Nvidia GeForce 3 or ATI Radeon 8500, with 64 MB of VRAM. This allowed an in-game computer terminal to perform more than one function, such as a readily apparent door-unlocking button, combined with a more obscure function allowing an astute player to unlock a nearby weapons locker. ![]() Rather than using a simple "use key", the crosshair acts as a mouse cursor over the screens allowing the player to use a computer in the game world. To increase the interactivity with the game-world, id designed hundreds of high-resolution animated screens for in-game computers. To create a more movie-like atmosphere, id interspersed the gameplay with many in-game animated sequences of monsters ambushing the player or just lurking around. ![]() ![]() A shortcoming of this approach is the engine's inability to render soft shadows and global illumination.Īs well as dynamic lighting and shadows, the Doom 3 engine was id Software's first to make extensive use of bump mapping. This allows lights to cast shadows even on non-static objects such as monsters or machinery, which was impossible with static lightmaps. By contrast in the new Doom 3 engine, most light sources are computed on the fly. All 3D engines up to and including Quake III and Unreal Tournament had computed or rendered lightmaps during map creation, saving that information in the map data, which made the lighting extremely static. The key advance of the Doom 3 graphics engine is the unified lighting and shadowing.

![]() I've tried googling things like "understanding electrical ratings", "understanding wattage and current ratings", "how do I know if a switch can handle the power/current in a circuit" but I just finding explanations of what wattage/amperage/voltage are, their relationships to each other, analogies about water pressure, etc. ![]() ![]() Assuming the higher-current-at-lower-power thing is true I'm tempted to think 5.5 is a little more than 5 and 22 is a lot less than 125, but hardly seems like a reliable formula. Into the 4-ohm load however 120W would be "5.5A ~22VAC" which is a higher current than the highest rating on the switch. Into the 16-ohm load when the speakers are in series 120W would be "2.74A ~44VAC" which is less than the smallest of each value in the provided ratings so I assume it's okay. The most powerful amplifier I would use to power the speakers says it makes 120W, but it's never turned up to more than half power so I'm assuming 120W is a safe estimate of the max power the switch would see. To give a concrete example, I have a guitar speaker cabinet that contains 2 8-ohm speakers wired in series and I want to add a switch to toggle the speakers between series and parallel. If current or power alone are not sufficient to describe the capability then how would one determine whether any given values are within the acceptable range? In the ratings given there's an inverse correlation between the current and power so it seems conceivable that it can handle more current at a lower power, but that doesn't seem specific enough provide the power handling at a given amperage or to communicate the absolute limits for voltage/current/power. ![]() I have a switch that has "3A 250VAC" and "5A 125VAC" printed on it, which I imagine are ratings of what the switch can handle, but my understanding that 3A at 250V would be 750W and that 5A at 125V would be 625W so I'm confused about how the ratings correlate. ![]() ![]() ![]() If lag increases or there's packet loss, things might get choppy, but it's trivial to catch up, essentially just waiting for the next update. The other clients will just try to stay in sync to the host, trying to estimate or approximate the expected value. The host will now perform all important game logic, like hit detection, AI controls, inventory handling, etc. If you don't have a dedicated server, elect one participating client to become the host (this can be transferred if the need arises to). The good news is that you probably don't need that much accuracy.Īs mentioned, this is impossible, so I'd try another approach: The second is trickier and may be theoretically impossible to solve (though I can't remember the proof right now). The first you can reduce the effects of by performing the measurement several times and taking a median reading. This can't guarantee synchronisation because the time taken to send a message across the internet varies, and because it can be different in each direction. Client 2 will get the message about 4ms later, but will wait 4ms less before starting the game. So you send out a message to Client 1 saying "start the game in 50ms" and send one to Client 2 saying "start the game in 46ms".You do the same for Client 2 and get a response 28ms later - so the transmission time there is likely to be about 14ms.You guess that it takes roughly 10ms to get a message to client 1. You send a message to Client 1 and get a response back 20ms later.Luckily, in practice you can come close, which is how things like NTP work.įor example, better than just sending a message out to 3 clients saying "start now", you can exchange a couple of ping messages beforehand to measure the time it takes to get a message to the client, and when you send the start message, instead of "start now" say "start in X milliseconds" and adjust X for the different times taken for a message to arrive. Steven's comment is right: this is theoretically impossible to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not to mention that if a horrible person became their trainer they could unleash untold horror on the world and probably get away with it too. ![]() If Pokémon were real, these are the top 15 creatures that I probably would try my best to avoid.

Watching three minutes more of Fox News per week in 2008 would have made the typical Democratic or centrist voter 1 percentage point likelier to vote Republican that year. But Fox News increases Republican voting odds for centrists, for Democratic viewers, and even, in 20, for Republicans already strongly inclined to vote that way. ![]() The effects of CNN and MSNBC on centrist voters are mostly negligible MSNBC, in 20, modestly increased odds of voting Republican, before it turned left in time for 2008. You can see Fox News growing more conservative and MSNBC starting its move to the left with Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and others in the late 2000s: Martin and Yurukoglu 2017 Martin and Yurukoglu integrated a vast array of data - on Fox's channel position and viewership, individual/zip code/county level presidential voting behavior, and transcripts of cable news shows to showcase their ideology - into an extensive model that they can then use to estimate how effective Fox (and CNN and MSNBC) is at persuading viewers to vote its way.īelow, for instance, is how the estimated ideological stance of each channel changed over time a lower score means more liberal, and a higher score means more conservative. "I personally don't think it's totally implausible, but it is higher than I would have guessed prior to the research." And even if the effect were half as large as estimated, that’d still mean that Fox News is having a very real, sizable effect on elections. "There is a non-trivial amount of uncertainty" about those estimates, Yurukoglu cautions. They estimate that if Fox News hadn't existed, the Republican presidential candidate’s share of the two-party vote would have been 3.59 points lower in 2004 and 6.34 points lower in 2008.įor context, that would've made John Kerry the 2004 popular vote winner, and turned Barack Obama's 2008 victory into a landslide where he got 60 percent of the two-party vote. Emory University political scientist Gregory Martin and Stanford economist Ali Yurukoglu estimate that watching Fox News directly causes a substantial rightward shift in viewers’ attitudes, which translates into a significantly greater willingness to vote for Republican candidates. ![]() ![]() Given that Fox was founded by a longtime Republican Party operative and has almost exclusively hired conservative commentators, talk radio hosts, and the like to host its shows, it would stand to reason that its dominance on basic cable could influence how Americans vote, perhaps even tipping elections.Ī new study in the American Economic Review (the discipline’s flagship journal), with an intriguing and persuasive methodology, finds exactly that. Fox News is, by far, America’s dominant TV news channel in the second quarter of 2017, Fox posted 2.35 million total viewers in primetime versus 1.64 million for MSNBC and 1.06 million for CNN. ![]() ![]() ![]() If your shipment(s) arrives and you still have questions about items missing from your order, please contact us and we will be happy to help you. ![]() Split Shipments Due to varying item availability and warehouse locations, your items may be shipped separately when you place an order for multiple items.
