While you can currently export tracks from Rock Band (by paying a nominal fee) and Rock Band Blitz (by simply buying the game), Rock Band 2, Lego Rock Band, and Green Day Rock Band's export keys have expired, though a few of the songs from these games have been made available on the Rock Band Music Store. If you haven't imported these tracks yet, you're probably out of luck. Games that will allow you to import their songs into Rock Band include: If you've exported tracks from any of the Rock Band games that let you do so, their songs will be available to play in Rock Band 4 after launch. If support for any of these tracks comes to Rock Band 4, it'll be after launch. There's no official word on whether any of these songs will get brought back to Rock Band 4 through official means, let alone whether you'll be able to download them for free if you purchased them in the past. And since neither the PS4 or Xbox One support this framework, porting these tracks over means recharting all of them specifically for Rock Band 4 - which opens up a whole new can of licensing worms. Once Microsoft stopped supporting XNA, RBN all but shut down. XNA was a programming language created by Microsoft specifically to enable easy game creation on PC and Xbox 360. The issue stems from the XNA framework these tracks used when RBN was active. RBN features over 2000 tracks from a wide variety of indie and major artists, from all corners of the globe - and as of launch, none of these tracks are making their way into Rock Band 4. Harmonix has recently announced that 2 songs from U2 are being delivered in Rock Band 4 and that a bigger DLC associated with the band will be offered at a later date.In addition to the main offering of DLC tracks that Harmonix themselves licensed and released, there was also a massive library of independently-created and published tracks made available in the Rock Band Network. More than 1,700 tracks have been improved, offering gamers a wide array of styles and bands to choose from. These features associated with Rock Band 4 make the songs more interesting to play but because of the associated volume of work, the company is announcing that prices for all the DLC are returning to 1.99 dollars or Euro when launch takes place, ending a long-running sale. Harmonix also makes it clear that it has worked hard to go through the entire catalog of songs that was offered for older installments in the franchise in order to add new gameplay elements, including dynamic drum fills and freestyle guitar solos. DLC prices are returning to 1.99 dollars or Euro after launch The company offers clear instructions on how the process works on both the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One, and no cross-platform transfers are possible.įans of the franchise have something to keep them occupied until Rock Band 4 is finally launched on both platforms on October 6. If you want your DLC downloaded to your console, you will have to re-download tracks individually." Due to 1st party technical restrictions, we are unable to support batch downloads within the 1st party stores. The official guide explains that "First and foremost, you will have to re-download each DLC entitlement individually in order to play these tracks in Rock Band 4. The biggest limitation for song transfer linked to Rock Band 4 is that each track will be transferred individually, even if it was obtained as part of a bigger DLC pack. It's great that the studio is offering support for older tracks, but it will be hard for gamers to get access to them all, especially if they picked up a lot of packs in the past. The development team at Harmonix is preparing for the launch of Rock Band 4, and that means gamers who plan to get the new music title will be able to get the old downloadable songs they have bought in order to use them in the coming experience.

We'll cover the Thrall system, and how it works, in a future guide.Click 'Make Me Admin' and type in Admin password to get admin access on a server. You'll want to kill as many Imps as you can until you've risen to level 10, at which point you can begin to use Conan Exiles' thrall system, which will let you recruit followers. Your stamina drains quickly in a brawl, but Imps only take a few shots to defeat. They're not too tough to beat, even using tools instead of proper weapons, and they aggro from a great distance so they're easy to kite to a secluded combat spot. You don't want to tackle every monster you see, and it's best to avoid human NPCs altogether for now, but Imps (seen in the image above) are a good place to start. Combat is the best way to gain XP, and now that you've lasted a few hours and have crafted some death insurance, it's time to begin leveling in earnest. So, it's time to stop dodging the danger and start standing your ground. You've got a bed to respawn at, a few crafted tools, a pocketful of eggs, a box to store your loot, and you alone possess the riddle of swimming. You can't carry a whole heck of a lot in Conan Exiles, and when you die all your stuff drops with your corpse. You'll want somewhere to stash all the extra crafting materials you find, especially the heavier items like stones, so you can begin stockpiling for future crafting. StorageĪlong with a bed, building a storage box is important. Otherwise it won't work, and you'll wake up back out in the desert again. You'll either want to make a few of them, or better yet, craft a reusable proper bed as soon as you can.ĭon't forget that once you've built and placed a bed, you need to interact with it to manually set it as a respawn point. There's a fiber bedroll that can be crafted from a small handful of resources, which is a good place to start, but keep in mind it's a single-use bed-once you use it to respawn, it's gone. To avoid this, you should to focus on building a bed as soon as possible, which will act as a respawn point. If you die in Conan Exiles, you'll find yourself way back in the starting zone, all your collected items gone, and you'll have to sprint your way back to lusher pastures all over again, gathering branches and stones as you go. That means there are five terminals to hook up: three for the knob part (A, B, and ground), and two for the button part (common and ground). This one also lets you push the knob in and treats it like a button press, so I’ll use that control to toggle “mute” on and off. I picked this one up from Adafruit, but any will do. It just says “louder” or “softer.” If we’re already at maximum volume and it wants us to go louder, we can just ignore it. On a 24‐step knob, if you turn it clockwise ¼ of the way around, it’ll report “six pulses to the right.” So the encoder won’t get confused if the volume gets changed by another means without its involvement. All it knows how to do is report clockwise pulses and counterclockwise pulses. That’s why the rotary encoder suits us so well: it can be turned in either direction as much as you like. Hence the volume knob and its absolute scale got replaced with the relative scale of “volume up” and “volume down” buttons. When TVs started including remote controls, suddenly volume needed to be changed from two different places. There’s no way to change the volume other than turning that knob. And the position of that knob acts as the single source of truth. Consider your grandparents’ TV again: if you keep turning the volume knob clockwise, it’ll stop turning when it reaches its maximum volume. The feeling of turning the knob on a rotary encoder makes clear that this is a digital operation: there are a certain number of increments on the knob (called steps or pulses), and if you turn it slowly you can feel each one “click” by. Rotary encoders, as the name implies, turn rotation into information, but in a far different way from your ordinary analog knob. They don’t take up much space.īut because we need a knob that speaks digitally, we’ll be using a rotary encoder. They allow for fast, precise adjustments. But knobs are great for physical interfaces! People understand them. Knobs are less ubiquitous in this age because of the whole analog‐to‐digital shift, and because knobs don’t really work well on remotes. For instance, if you’re old enough to want to build an arcade cabinet, you probably remember your grandparents’ TV and how it didn’t have a remote, which meant you had to twist a knob on the set itself to control the volume. The hardware A rotary encoder without a knob. Surprisingly, we’re off the beaten path here - though I’m certainly not the first person to need this, my searching didn’t turn up a canonical “how to put a volume knob on your Pi” guide. Instead I resolved to solve this with my own hardware. The ones that support libretro will allow me to set a universal key binding for controlling volume, but (a) that requires me to learn and remember an obscure button combo, and (b) not all of RetroPie’s emulators support libretro, and the ones that don’t each have a different hotkey for setting volume. The emulators themselves keep their own volume setting. Somewhere in the EmulationStation menu system, perhaps three levels deep, there’s a way to launch a utility that lets you set the system volume. Though I’m quite satisfied with the speakers I got, they don’t have their own volume knob, so if I want to change the volume I need to do it in software. If you don’t yet know how to solder or splice, you may want to postpone this project until after you learn. Like last time, today we’ll be covering a topic that will be useful to Pi users in general, not just those who’ve built arcade cabinets: how to use a rotary encoder to control your Pi’s system volume. Fixed a tiny error in the monitor-volume script. Even if a pilot begins his approach to the ship perfectly, every little adjustment to maintain that path to the ship requires counter-adjustments in other areas – “just dozens of corrections, tiny corrections, that I’m making” for the final 18 seconds, called “flying on the ball.” David Kindley, F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Manager in the Program Executive Office for Tactical Aircraft, explained that pilots approaching the carrier focus on three things: watching their lineup, with the goal being to catch the third of four wires in the aircraft arresting gear angle of attack, needed to ensure the tailhook on the back of the plane catches a wire and speed. MAGIC CARPET accomplishes three things through a software-only change to the airplane, with no changes whatsoever needed to the carrier receiving the fighters.Ĭapt. The Navy invited a small group of reporters to watch the final day of testing aboard the carrier to see first-hand how pilot workload is reduced and how that could ultimately affect the flight deck crew, pilot training requirements and even the aircraft maintenance and operations budgets.Īn F/A-18F Super Hornet in Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 conducts touch-and-go flight operations off the deck of USS George Washington (CVN-73) on June 27, 2016, while testing the MAGIC CARPET carrier landing assistance technology. Bush (CVN-77) last year and completed its final test aboard USS George Washington (CVN-73) this week ahead of an interim software version release this fall. The Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies (MAGIC CARPET), a collaboration by Naval Air Systems Command and the Office of Naval Research, was first tested aboard USS George H.W. And because the services’s Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers have digital flight controls, MAGIC CARPET remaps those controls to do just that. The premise of MAGIC CARPET is simple – rather than worry about adjusting roll, yaw and pitch, adding and reducing power, and predicting how the plane’s course will intersect with the moving ship’s, the pilot can more directly and simply control flight path. USNI News photo.ĪBOARD USS GEORGE WASHINGTON, OFF THE COAST OF VIRGINIA – The Navy has completed testing of its MAGIC CARPET technology that simplifies the process of landing a fighter on an aircraft carrier – with data suggesting that pilots may make single-digit flight path corrections on final approach instead of hundreds and land “significantly” closer to their target on the flight deck, according to those involved in the testing.

A pattern emerged where Caesar was elected or named to a position, spent large amounts of his own money on public projects, games or other benefits, and then was elected or named to another office.Ĭaesar also served as a Roman governor controlling part of Iberia from 61 to 60 B.C., where he commanded an army that fought against tribes who opposed Roman rule. "He was unsparing in his outlays of money, and was thought to be purchasing a transient and short-lived fame at a great price, though in reality he was buying things of the highest value at a small price," Plutarch wrote. When his first wife, Cornelia, died in 69 B.C., Caesar used her funeral to grow his support by breaking with tradition and giving an oration that appealed to the people and showcased his caring side.Ĭaesar also spent lavishly, going into debt so that he could continue to give out gifts and buy political support. "He a large and gradually increasing political influence in consequence of his lavish hospitality and the general splendour of his mode of life," Plutarch wrote.Ĭaesar was an eloquent speaker who was even able to turn personal tragedies into political gains. He caught them, too, still lying at anchor off the island," Plutarch wrote, adding that Caesar "took the robbers out of prison, and crucified them all, just as he had often warned them." Caesar's growing influenceĬaesar's political career gradually took off after his return to Rome around 74 B.C., and he used his family's wealth and skills to help grow his power. After the ransom was paid and Caesar was released, he "immediately manned vessels and put to sea from the harbour of Miletus against the robbers. However, Caesar's threats to kill the pirates were no joke. The pirates were delighted at this, and attributed his boldness of speech to a certain simplicity and boyish mirth," Plutarch wrote. He "wrote poems and sundry speeches which he read aloud to them, and those who did not admire these he would call to their faces illiterate barbarians, and often laughingly threatened to hang them all. While the money was being collected, Caesar spent time with the pirates. How much a Roman talent could weigh at a given time is a subject of debate among historians but was likely somewhere between 60 to 100 pounds (27 to 45 kilograms) in Caesar's time. Plutarch doesn't say what the talents were made of, but silver is likely. "When the pirates demanded twenty talents for his ransom, he laughed at them for not knowing who their captive was, and of his own accord agreed to give them fifty," Plutarch wrote (translated by Bernadotte Perrin). At some point on his journey he was captured by pirates, who, at least according to several near-contemporary writers, fatally underestimated Caesar. (Image credit: imageBROKER/Mara Brandl via Getty images)Ĭaesar was able to return to Rome after Sulla died in 78 B.C., but he left soon after to study oratory on Rhodes, an island near modern-day Turkey. Caesar was en route to Rhodes when he was kidnapped by pirates and held for ransom. At one point he was captured by Sulla's soldiers but escaped by paying a bribe. Sulla was fond of having his opponents murdered, and the teenage Caesar was forced to flee Rome, Plutarch wrote. 116) in his book "Parallel Lives." One of Sulla's most prominent opponents, Gaius Marius, had married into Caesar's family, and this may have influenced Caesar's decision. While his family was not particularly powerful at the time Caesar was born, some of his ancestors had held positions as senior officials in the Roman Republic, Goldsworthy noted.Ĭaesar was politically active as a teenager, opposing Lucius Cornelius Sulla, who became dictator of Rome in 82 B.C., according to the ancient Greek author Plutarch (lived A.D. Members of his family were "patricians, which meant that they were members of the oldest aristocratic class at Rome, who in the early Republic had monopolized power, ruling over the far more numerous plebeians," wrote Goldsworthy. Caesar was born into a wealthy family with a noble lineage. Take a look at all the new features of Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac on the Parallels website.

WRC 10's cars are a varied bunch, and it does well to do justice to everything from the low horsepower, rear engined and frankly pendulous classic Alpine A110 to the lightning quick WRC Yaris that seems to teleport from one point to another, turning corners perfectly on its axis. The classics might not boast the out-and-out speed of the current breed of rally cars, but there's something about tossing an old Abarth around the dusty heights of the classic Acropolis rally that's quicker to raise your pulse - underpinned, of course, by handling dynamics that are up there with Dirt Rally 2.0 and, dare I say it, Richard Burns Rally in being some of the very best we've ever seen in this particular subset of the racing genre. It's those images of lairy cars parting crowds that get directly to the insanity and appeal of rally, and so it is with their representation in WRC 10. Having iconic cars is nothing new to rally games, of course, but having some appropriately dressed stages with which to rag them around feels fresh - indeed, there's a little something of all-time sim great Grand Prix Legends in the experience of seeing icons of the sport such as Michèle Mouton matched with her brutish Quattro, or Didier Auriol with his Castrol-liveried Celica as you're invited to thread your way through reckless mobs of spectators in period correct stages stripped of modern advertising hoards.
