3/1/2024 0 Comments Leveling up orcs blood bowl 2![]() Especially since I don’t use the peg holes in the bases anyways. But what do you do when they are on the field, leave them lopped over?! I was never crazy about that. Some of these balls come with a little peg so that you can stick them in the Blood Bowl bases with peg holes. I was going to paint one red and one orange…but alas so many things that I’m keeping track of in my head these days that I completely forgot! It’s the first time I’ve painted up a Squig, and not knowing too much about them, I just went off of pics I’ve seen online. Apparently they chopped one leg off and he hops a bit, so there’s an additional rule when using this special ball. The Orc’s special ball is a “Squig ball”. So, instead of having to fish the extra balls out of my Blood Bowl stuff, I decided I would paint one up for each. The other is Blitz Bowl Season 2 has rules for Special Balls now too. One, you get a ton of these, as they have a few on each sprue. Though the Orc one is a bit more primitive, made up of different sewn together bits.īut why so many?! Few reasons for that. ![]() There’s a free-standing spike football that is the norm for Blood Bowl. The crackle Agrellan texture did produce some variation, and you will see how those got painted up in future posts. My next experiment will likely be adding some micro beads to the texture. I did try mixing GW’s Agrellan textures with the Vallejo to see if that would help the ‘meringue topping effect’ that I ran into with the Vallejo texture. They are my now standard weighted bases with Vallejo Dark Earth texture on top. The bases got previewed in my Basing Detour post awhile back. In hindsight, I might have added some bits of rust to them, but they will do. Thanks to a tip from Wudugast on his recipe for Orc skin and a quick reference of the GW Paint App! So, I used these to test out my skin tones, and it worked perfectly on the first go. I’ve always preferred the “Black Orcs’ on the team to be a different in skin tone than the rest of the ‘Ordinary Orcs’. You’re right, the skin colors are a bit different. ![]() I should have wrote 2020 on top of his skull, to really nail it home. The ‘Dead Elf head on a stone spike’ just sorta came to me. Turn and Score markers (interchangeable). Something I’ll probably keep trying to work on. That worked well for Necromunda, but a sports game like Blood Bowl should be a bit more flamboyant. Easier to paint than the Chaos ones were, that’s for sure! I tried to go a little lighter, as I noticed I had painted a lot of stuff very dark and dingy. It’s nice to have that extra token for when you need to keep track of things separately.įairly standard stuff for me at this point. Yes, it would be super cool to have matching tokens for every single team, but I also have a ton to paint still.Īlso, there are two spare completely silver ones (one under the other), which I would use for the odd ‘Leader’ and other rerolls that Coaches can gain under special circumstances. I have enough of those tokens for three teams now, so there isn’t much point in going over board on these. I ‘m sure I’ve said this, but this could be the last time I paint up this many Reroll tokens. There are some other notes about the team, but I will get to those as I post more pictures up. The others barely had base paints, and have been completely redone. One was fully painted, and I kind of liked him, so he’s pretty much been untouched. This team was a bit similar to the Humans, in that I had purchased a few minis that were partially painted off of Ebay. ![]() My hope was to have 4 teams finished this year, but for a variety of reasons that hasn’t happened. The last team I finished, was the Humans and they were done around late July/early August. ![]()

![]() Prop with texture that has alpha channel (In this case we'll be using a fence model)įirst of all, go into notepad and copy this Orangebox /Source 2009 Engine Game (Half-Life 2 Episode 2 or Left 4 Dead) These shadows are lightmap shadows, so they cannot be moved and thus, are static.īut if you're using a static prop you shouldn't care anyways.Īnyways, you may be wondering "Alright, this sounds cool, how do I accomplish this?". This is better than before, but there are still some flaws. This command, combined with -StaticPropPolys, can allow your alpha channels to create shadows. Skip forward to now, where we have learned that the light compiler (vrad) now has an option to allow the alpha channel to allow light through. Yes, they were dynamic (And partially better than what i'm about to teach you about), but they are really bad looking. Then came the Orangebox engine, and at first, we could use projectedtextures to create our dynamic lights, but then nVidia complained about the shadows from these entities and resulted in nVidia users getting these nasty grainy-edged shadows. Nobody ever wanted to do this because it was pointless and very time consuming (And the shadows looked blocky) In the days of the HL2 Source engine and the HL2:EP1 engine you had to make a grating yourself, by taking a blocklight texture and cutting it out. This would be okay, but it looks really unrealistic when a light is near it. This is great for visual looks like looking through it, but source has no idea what to do about lighting for the alpha channel for props, and it simply uses the collision model as a shadow reference. The fence's grating has an alpha channel that allows you to see through it. For example, glass textures have an alpha channel that makes them transparent. ![]() You may be wondering "What does alpha mean?" Alpha - or more specifically the alpha channel, is what defines transparency in an image. ENBs reshade etc.In this tutorial you will learn how you can make the opaque parts of a transparent texture on a model cast shadows. too detailed world textures create obvious patterns spread over large surfaces breaking immersion, in real life you don't see all that constant detail "noise" and a spot of dirt doesn't look like another spot of dirt 10m away so it's better to just see a "blurry brown patch" on the ground really photo realistic textures look worse because of that 3d model/texture shock explained above but also because they lack the "world vision" the original artist had, it's a job to create consistent immersive worlds, you can't put random stuff in it ![]() ![]() My personal view and advice on retextures : more than 300hrs of "work" to get my current skyrim as it is 17 years of modding elder scrolls and 3d fallouts ![]() 3/1/2024 0 Comments Apache flume![]() Run the flume agent using below command:. ![]() “ng” stands for next generation.Ī = ch1Ī =spooldirĪ =/usr/kmayank/spooldir Command to start a flume agent as below.Use the command line to start a flume agent.We need to set up all the options in “.properties” file.Here the source is spooling directory and the sink is console log, Apache Flume Agent sits in between spooling directory and console log. When any log files are added to the directory, it will read those log files and push the content of the log file to the console log. This covers the very basics of setting up Flume and mitigating some of the common issues which one encounters while using it.In this tutorial, we will learn to set up an Apache Flume agent that is going to monitor a spooling directory.

A basic configuration to read data taking “ local file system” as the source, keeping channel as “ memory“, and “ hdfs” as sink, could be: This task is kept alive in order to listen to any change in the source, and must be terminated manually by the user. “ Sink” usually is HDFS.Īpache Flume takes a configuration file every time it runs a task.

![]() ![]() In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon it is shown that Boos will actually save someone if only later to trick them. Boos tend to have a taste for the fine arts, as seen in Paper Mario and Mario Party 4. Some Boos have absolutely no problem meeting their victim's gaze, and will even try to attack. While the ghosts generally appear to be more afraid of their victims than their victim is of them, this is not always the case. However, King Boo claims that Boos cannot truly be killed. Because of their intolerance to the light, Boos will often hide if they are trapped in lit rooms. Usually, they can also have other weaknesses. ![]() If they are exposed to a source of light, Boos are usually weakened, and in some cases, they may even be defeated. Despite this, they are not invincible and are especially vulnerable to the light. Due to their ghostly abilities, Boos are generally invulnerable and cannot be harmed by ordinary means of attack. Although most species of Boo will cover their faces and become intangible when looked at, they will often sneak behind their victim and strike when their back is turned. However, Boos received a new laugh starting in Mario Power Tennis, being more of a haunting laugh than before. Both this laugh and Bowser's laugh are derived from the same stock recording of a human man laughing recorded by Charles Martinet it was sped up for the Boos and slowed down for Bowser. Since Super Mario 64, Boos have been portrayed with a unique, high-pitched laugh. However, the Luigi's Mansion and early Paper Mario games portray Boos as being more expressive than in other games, being able to frown, scowl, or even smirk. The only exception is when they are looked at, in which case they bashfully cover their faces. In most games, Boos are unable to change their facial expressions. Boos often have wide open grinning mouths with their tongue sticking out. From Luigi's Mansion onward, it became common to picture Boos sticking out their tongues. Although they are typically white, there are sub-species of the Boo race that appear in different colors, such as pink. Though their specifics change from game to game, Boos are usually bashful, cowardly, spherical ghosts. LINE sticker of a Boo giving a shy laugh. Shigeru Miyamoto got the idea for Boo from the wife of his coworker and close friend Takashi Tezuka, as she is shy but one day got very angry with him for coming home late from work. However, the most distinctive characteristic of the Boos is their shy personality, as they cover their faces when someone looks directly at them, but then uncover and move after the character when their back is turned this exact behavior is used by Mumbies in the Kirby series. They are known for their large tongues and small stubby arms. They are a type of white spherical ghost with menacing and normally open mouths. King Bowser, King Bowser, King Koopa! Bow down.“Mind turning around for a minute?” - Boo, Paper Mario: Color Splashīoos (originally known as "Boo" Diddlys and later Boo Buddies ) are common ghost enemies in the Super Mario franchise that first appear in Super Mario Bros.
