![]() Wurm Unlimited was made to boost Wurm Online's population, and has only decreased it by a large number, the developers will consider it a failure and scrap it while Wurm Online continues to decline since so many players already sold their accounts and disbanded their deeds they will not want to return. What I'm getting at is the future of Wurm Unlimited and its MMO counterpart looks bleak at best. He even implied that the official Wurm Online servers may shut down one day. I expect Wurm Unlimited to receive less and less support, perhaps Rolf will intentionally pull the plug on it when Wurm Online's population gets low enough. However this plan has backfired horribly as many established Wurm players quit the game to play Wurm Unlimited, which they will not have to pay a subscription for. Last year it was Challenge, before that it was Xanadu, this year it is Wurm Unlimited. That is why every year CodeClub tries some sort of gimmick to get more players in the game. Traders get silver from new players, so when new players are not joining Wurm Online that means the established players might have to dip into their own pockets to pay for premium. Wurm Online can best be described as a pyramid scheme with Rolf on top and then a hierarchy of established players who drain traders in order to pay for their premium. All of this game's positive reviews here and on Steam will come from Wurm Online fanboys who have a vested interest in protecting Wurm's reputation due to the hundreds and thousands of dollars they have spent on the MMO counterpart to Wurm Unlimited. This game was very poorly optimized and would not even play on most computers at release because the developers forgot to include some C++ This game was very poorly optimized and would not even play on most computers at release because the developers forgot to include some C++ patch. I mainly play on a PvP server (Defiance MR) in Wurm Online and can only recommend this game. Of course there is always a risk, but you don't have to worry about getting killed all the time, especially if you join a community. Of course, this sounds like a peaceful life is not possible on a pvp server. Cities and fortresses (did I mention that everything is built by the players?) can be raided, but with a good defence you can also fend off such a raid. Various kingdoms fight for supremacy on the map. But you can listen to a podcast or watch videos/movies/series and chat with your neighbours. The grind (in WU, depending on the server setting) naturally also brings monotonous tasks into the game. The gameplay is very relaxed in most cases. ![]() Building, digging, mining, farming, are just the most basic things, because there are so many skills and so many things to do. Building, digging, mining, farming, are just the Wurm Unlimited/ Wurm Online is my absolute favourite game. Wurm Unlimited/ Wurm Online is my absolute favourite game. It's what I'd like to call "rails-optional". You get to work on ascending to godhood, to gain powerful sorcery items, or do what ever! Totally up to you. That doesn't even touch the Adventure mode, which allows a player who has never played Wurm get a real feel for some of the aspects that even MMO players never really experience. There's a Linux-based dedicated server for cheap, cost-effective hosting. Each "server" is in it's own folder, so I can easily make copies, zip up the good ones and store them for later, or switch between if I goof up too badly. The game is rather easy to launch and manage. The community has already created some wonderful tools that allow you to make custom maps, and the modding community is just getting started. Not only can I use a GM-level character to build anything I desire, but I can run a server and share it with my friends. Wurm Unlimited has changed that for me, and yet still offers so much more. I always felt my creativity was limited by the need to gather resources and put more time into making it real than I could give. I always I have played and loved Wurm Online for over three years, but always wished I could have more freedom to do what I want in the game. ![]() I have played and loved Wurm Online for over three years, but always wished I could have more freedom to do what I want in the game. ![]()

![]() Since he was no merchant he had nothing to declare. The young man, Hew Cullan, found little to detain him. True to its name the flieboat had crossed the North Sea from Holland fiercely and swiftly and soon disgorged its contents in the sunlit bay. Criss-crossed between them, from north to south, vennels, wynds and closes narrowed and made deep its inner life. ![]() ![]() These four streets converged on the cathedral, and with their rigs and gardens set the pattern of the town. Beyond, from east to west, were ranked the four main thoroughfares: the fair and leafy south street, with its colleges and kirk the broad and bustling Mercatgait the north street, with its college halls and chapel braced against the winds the Swallowgait that opened on the Castlegait and cliffs, falling sheer into the water, sweeping west towards the links and eastwards to the harbour, where the shallow basin washed into the sea. And the cathedral, by the square-built tower and chapel of St Rule, had crumbled further into stone, allowing the sunlight to stream through its frame and illuminate the town that had grown up in its shade. Perhaps it was a trick of the light, but the strip of land between the castle and the shore appeared to have diminished as it weathered the encroaching of the tide. It looked as it had always done, fronted by the ramparts of its castle, etched on the horizon by the starkness of its rock. For it was not the motion of the ship but the length of his absence that caused his soft belly to flutter and fall. As the land unfurled before him like a map he began to feel less sick. It was a relief to escape down the narrow stair to the last of the late summer sun.įrom the deck of the Dutch flieboat Zeedraak a young man looked out to shore. The boy’s bright hair, he thought, was the only warmth in the sour and windowless room. The evenings are too chill to sit in your shirt. ‘Alexander, take the blanket from the cot. Nicholas turned at the door, exasperation failing at the sight of the boy huddled miserably over his work in the guttering light, and spoke again, in Latin now, to mask the gentleness. But yes, I will look at them when I return. ‘You would do better to spend more time with your books and less making verses, if you ever hope to matriculate. Nicholas forced down the impulse to hurt him, to say something childishly spiteful in reply. He did not look up as he spoke, but stared hopelessly down at the paper between his fumbling hands. ‘Won’t you just look at them?’ The boy spoke in Scots, so quietly that Nicholas took a moment to hear him. In the meantime, please try to apply yourself. The kindness felt too clumsy and too intimate. It was a mistake perhaps, because Alexander’s eyes began to fill with tears. In the privacy of that small room, blanched yellow in the candlelight, Nicholas spoke to the boy in his own tongue, no longer accusing but low and soft like a girl. With the exception of King James and his retinue, the people in this book have had no previous lives.

![]() Yet they reserve their most precious hatred for the Elves of Ulthuan, their brethren in ancient times who refused to follow them under the Witch King's reign. Thus do their Black Arks and Corsair Fleets ply the great waters of the world, raiding and enslaving all before them as a tribute to their own avaricious desires. The Druchii are raiders, slavers and heartless reavers of the first degree, their every whim being nothing more than to sow misery and pain to all who oppose them, for cruelty is the very lifeblood of their existence. The Dark Elves – or the Druchii, in their own tongue – are one of the most ancient, powerful, and certainly the most sadistic of the three Elven civilisations. Let the servants of destruction beware the Asur's righteous wrath! The time of the High Elves has passed, yet such is their immense pride that they fight on regardless, for they consider themselves the true and rightful protectors of the known world. At the zenith of their power, the world was truly theirs for the taking, but in their arrogance they brought about a bloody war against the Dwarfs which crippled both of these two elder races. Hailing from a mighty, mist-shrouded island-continent located at the centre of the Great Ocean, the High Elves of Ulthuan are a proud and mighty kingdom of masterful warriors, peerless mages and lords of sky and sea. The High Elves – or the Asur, as they call themselves – are one of the most ancient and powerful civilisations of the Old World. They go to battle for reasons indecipherable to others – an ancient plan known only to themselves. ![]() Alien, enigmatic, and entirely without mercy, the Lizardmen were there at the start of all things and will be there when the world draws its last dying breath, never tiring nor relenting until order is finally restored to this uncaring, chaotic world.įrom the primeval jungles of Lustria they come, disciplined cohorts of Saurian warriors with giant scaly beasts in their midst, led by the most powerful Sorcerers the world has ever seen. The Lizardmen are an ancient race of cold-blooded reptilians said to be the first and oldest civilisation. It is said that the ultimate goal of the Skaven is to conquer the surface world and bring about the Great Ascendancy, whence the Horned Rat's children will swarm across its face and claim all of it as their own. They follow the malevolent deity known as the Horned Rat, whose wishes and demands are both supreme and absolute. From deep below the ground, these scavengers have built a vast Under-Empire, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers has the potential to smother the kingdoms of the Old World in a seething tide of violence and anarchy. The Skaven are a cunning and diabolical race of scuttering humanoid rat-creatures that have spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() It would be nice if Serif offered some way to “subscribe” to this page so that users could get email updates whenever new videos were added. ![]() ![]() At this time, the only video available is a basic overview of the software. On top of this, there are a number of PDF tutorials that come bundled with the application and cover a broad range of topics, from the most basic editing tasks to more complex project-oriented features.Īlso, a portion of the PhotoPlus X3 web site has been dedicated to hosting video tutorials. In addition to the software’s built-in help system, there is an integrated How-To panel that walks users through editing tasks as they are being performed. PhotoPlus X3 comes equipped with a number of tutorials and learning aids that are accessible both online and from your desktop. User Support and Documentation (4 out of 5) ![]() Overall, this release should definitely be considered a major upgrade. Among these is a raw image studio where you can edit photos while they are still in the unprocessed state, an improved user interface with easier-to-find commands, and over 50 new customizable filter effects. On top of the very noticeable increase in performance, PhotoPlus X3 has a number of other new features that should prove very attractive to those looking to invest in a photo editor. Now I’d have to rate the latest release, PhotoPlus X3, tops in this category. When comparing PhotoPlus X2 to other photo editors, I felt that version of the software was about average in terms of speed and performance. The improved memory management was very apparent, and I was quite impressed. To see if this speed extended to other functions of the application, I opened several large images and began applying complex filters to these photos. One of the initial things I noticed when starting PhotoPlus X3 up for the first time was how much faster the software loaded compared to previous versions. This should be quite helpful to new users, but once it becomes more of a distraction than an actual aid, you can check a box that will prevent the screen from popping up every time you use the software.Ĭontinue on to the next page for the remainder of Bright Hub’s review of Serif PhotoPlus X3. When you first open the application, you’ll be met with a welcome screen where you can choose the type of project on which you wish to work. To help with this acclimation process, PhotoPlus X3 comes bundled with several PDF tutorials, which we will talk more about in the User Support and Documentation section of this review. Users of Adobe photo editing products will feel right at home with the user interface of PhotoPlus X3, and it shouldn’t take others too much longer to get comfortable with the software – at least, it shouldn’t take longer than it would with any other image editor. It’s not a major issue by any means, but it is enough for me to give the software a 4 instead of a 5 in this category. So, while there really wasn’t any trouble with the installation process, all of the reboot requests did start to get a little tiresome, especially when they weren’t needed. However, that was unnecessary – at least, it was unnecessary on my system. At the end of the process, I was once again prompted to reboot before actually using PhotoPlus X3. After that, everything else about the installation process went fine. So, I ignored the message (which I probably should have done the first time) and continued with the install. This time, I knew there were no problems because I had just rebooted. Although I wasn’t sure what the message was referencing I rebooted anyway, just to be on the safe side.Īfter rebooting, I restarted the PhotoPlus X3 installation and received the same message. The warning message suggested that I had recently installed some other software product that required a reboot, and it would be best if I did perform a reboot to settle that matter before continuing.

At the end screen, a radio transmission will be heard as a radio operative requests the deployment of a task force to scout for remains at ground zero. Shortly after, the warheads are detonated, vaporizing the entire area, including D-9341. Upon reaching the surface, an alert is sent out stating that SCP-682 (a massive, nearly indestructible, reptilian creature with fast regenerative abilities of which the SCP Foundation has attempted to terminate several times ) has broken out of the facility near Gate B and that nuclear warheads, kept in the base as a last-measure containment system, will be detonated in an attempt to destroy it. The first and second endings can be reached by exiting the facility through Gate B. From here 4 different endings can be reached. If the player re-activates the door control system, SCP-079 will open the doors to two different exits, Gate A and B. From here SCP-079 will propose that the player reactivates the door control system, allowing SCP-079 to regain control over the doors, in exchange for helping the player escape the facility. Later in the game, the player encounters SCP-079, a malicious artificial intelligence inhabiting a microcomputer, and learns that it caused the power outage when several Chaos Insurgency spies gave it control over the facility, resulting in the foundation being busy recontaining it. The player must additionally evade Nine-Tailed Fox soldiers deployed to recapture the SCPs, as they have been ordered to target and kill any stray Class-D personnel. The player must then guide D-9341 around the facility while trying to survive many of the escaped SCPs which roam the facility, including SCP-106 (an entity resembling a decaying old man that may travel through matter and which attempts to drag the player into a pocket dimension to kill the player), and SCP-096 (a humanoid creature that will unavoidably chase and kill the player if they view the creature's face, but which is otherwise docile). A site-wide broadcast then announces that several SCPs have breached containment, forcing the site to be put under lockdown. ĭuring this testing routine, the site's power and door control systems begin to malfunction, allowing SCP-173 to kill the other two test subjects and escape into the ventilation system while by player control, D-9341 escapes the containment chamber. Those soldiers will shoot on sight and travel in teams, making them some of the most dangerous enemies encountered in the game. The zones become gradually harder as the player progresses the heavy containment zone possesses more dangerous SCPs than the light containment zone, and the entrance zone marks the appearance of 'Nine-Tailed Fox', a squad of elite soldiers deployed by the Foundation to recapture the breached SCPs and/or destroy the facility by detonating the nuclear bombs situated throughout. Some SCPs, such as SCP-173 and SCP-106, may appear throughout the entire facility. Each set contains a unique set of rooms and hallways that can be randomly generated, as well as its own artifacts and SCPs. These rooms are divided into three sets: the light containment zone, heavy containment zone, and entrance zone. All of the rooms in the game are randomly chosen from a set of hallways, chambers, and offices, which are strung together to create the facility. One of the game's primary features is randomly generated rooms. Another one of these SCPs are SCP-096, which when viewed will hunt the player around the map and it is only affected if viewed by its face. Certain environments (such as rooms filled with decontamination gas) will cause the player to blink more often. ![]() ![]() 173, along with other SCPs, must be evaded by D-9341 to avoid death, which is made more difficult by the player needing to blink periodically, enabling SCP-173 to attack if it is nearby. The player is pursued by numerous hostile SCPs chief among these is SCP-173, a concrete statue capable of moving at high speeds when it is not directly observed. If the player refuses to leave their cell, they will be terminated by poisonous gases. The player controls a 'Class-D' also known as 'Benjamin Oliver Walker' (a level 4 researcher caught doing illegal research on an SCP known as 'spiral gestalt'), designated D-9341 as he attempts to escape an underground research and containment facility operated by the SCP Foundation amidst a total containment breach of its hazardous anomalies, designated 'SCP's. ![]() ![]() In order to see distance to the next turn on the map (this can be a bit hidden) ![]() This way you will see how far the next turn is.

![]() For MusicBrainz to come up with what you think is the right answer based on what everyone else thinks is probably hopeless. MusicBrainz genre data is an aggregation of lots of differing opinions. But my lay person’s understanding is this: Nobody agrees what music fits in what genres. I am not an expert about genres in MusicBrainz. It picked wrong, and you did not correct it, so Picard added the metadata for the album you did not prefer.Ībout genres: it sounds like you expect Picard to select a genre which you prefer. When Picard saved the audio files, it added the tags to each track for the album it had arbitrarily picked. In your second example in the video, you did not do this process. Once the right album has all of its tracks matched, save it. Once the wrong album has no more matched tracks, remove it. Open the wrong album, drag the matched track from the wrong album to the right track in the right album. You showed in your video that you discovered the correct response. Picard has no good way to tell which album is the one you want, so it picks one arbitrarily. Picard reads each file (track) in isolation, and matches the audio to those multiple albums. You get the digital audio from one of those compilation albums. Remember that the music industry loves to sell the same recording on one album after another. This is a good part of the forum to start in.Ībout Picard reading your music files from the left part of the window, and putting up not just the correct album in the right part of the window, but also several incorrect albums: that is expected behaviour. ![]() They are mostly about how to use the MusicBrainz Picard app. You are asking a lot of different questions. I love it that you demonstrate our effort helping you out. Reading about you getting benefit from the data in MusicBrainz gives me a warm feeling. It helps me, but I also hope that it will help others in the future. I spend a lot of time making entries to my corner of MusicBrainz. Of course, as you get more familiar with working with it, you can tweak the settings even more. Then set the “Maximum number of genres” to 1. In the Metadata Options / Genres section, make sure “Use genres from MusicBrainz” is checked (and possibly uncheck “Use folksonomy tags as genres”). In the Metadata Options / Preferred Releases section, set the “Album” slider all the way to the right (and possibly set everything else all the way to the left). I generally have the auto clustering turned off as well, but that’s a personal preference. When the files are grouped (clustered) by album, you want to use the “Lookup” function and not the “Scan” function. In the General Options make sure that the “Automatically scan all new files” option is turned OFF. Some settings that you might want to consider: ![]() This might provide some additional insights into the use of the program for your use case. ![]() Then after creating a custom tag for 'MUSICBRAINZIDS' in MusicBee, you can use virtual tags to retrieve the desired MBID information.Ĭonsidering MusicBee has twice as much virtual tags than custom tags available, this should be a useful alternative solution.A few suggestions that might help make your journey a little smoother…įirst, you might want to check out the Picard User Guide, in particular the section on Workflows: When files are grouped by album. (well, at least the ones that I think are useful) ![]() The script will make Picard create a single tag (called MUSICBRAINZIDS) that contains all MBIDs. To circumvent this problem, I created a Picard script that makes it possible to have all these MusicBrainz ID tags available in MusicBee, using only one custom tag. These tags are not recognised by MusicBee out-of-the-box, so you will need to create custom tags for each of them if you want to use them in MusicBee.īut considering the restricted amount of available custom tag slots, this can pose a problem for some 'power users'. MusicBrainz' Picard can provide several types of MusicBrainz ID tags. Considering the ongoing interest in Picard/MusicBrainz tagging I thought to update the older post and post it as a dedicated 'Tip & Trick'.)
