Reference & User Services Quarterly, 53(3), 253-265. The website design and usability of US academic and public libraries. Tracking changes: One library’s homepage over timefindings from usability testing and reflections on staffing. We share our recommendations for evolving library research support and enhancing outreach strategies to provide an easier starting point for different types of researchers to discover relevant research assets provided by libraries such as ours. A usability study of NCSU’s single search box found that 23 of. In this article we summarize our results with a specific focus on findings from the researcher interviews. The results of the interviews provided a solid grounding for building our awareness of researchers’ behaviors, expectations and workflows as well as presenting a unique picture of both unmet and unarticulated needs.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux - modern port of the game, includes Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon. What about modern editing? SW, as I recall, wasn't as user-friendly for that kind of stuff, and it was really challenging for people to do things like changing the weapons. eduke32 - THE source port for Duke Nukem 3D. So my next question is, what options are there today for doing some hard-core modding of Shadow Warrior? Duke has eDuke32, but is there something like that for Shadow Warrior? (I don't know if I have ever seen anything more advanced than JFShadow Warrior, which doesn't even run on my modern computer.) And that's just for a modern engine. 1 2 3 You cannot start a new topic You cannot reply to this topic Other Build Engine games in eDuke32, how feasible HiPhish 1 Posted 18 September 2013 - 01:50 AM Hello guys Ive been playin in eDuke for quite a while now and its a shame there is no such project for Shadow Warrior and Blood. Like I always dreamed of doing back in the day.Īs I think about it though, I would probably want to start with Shadow Warrior instead of Duke3D, because SW had features like room-over-room, and that "wave" SE. Have you tried running in borderless screen This greatly improves performance although still is far from perfect. I've recent started back down the path of editing levels with build, and now I'm toying with the idea of making a full-blown TC. The game modules are based on the following sources: Duke Nukem: JFDuke, EDuke 2.0, World Tour extensions from DukeGDX and some minor fixes from EDuke32. Games-fps/eduke32/ don't know if I would actually follow through with this, but I was thinking about it, and might as well at least find out what is out there. Nice to see Ion Fury working with eduke32 on XP without having to hunt down unofficial builds though. Package-Manager: Portage-3.0.9, Repoman-3.0.2 EDuke32 1 is a fork of the JFDuke3D port of Duke Nukem 3D (aka Duke3D), merging it with EDuke to provide many new features for mod authors. Havent gotten to Ion Fury or Shadow Warrior yet. NBlood is based on recent versions of eDuke32. Playing Shadow Warrior (Classic) data files. With Duke 3D and now Shadow Warrior on the 3DS, would a port of Blood be feasible, maybe using NBlood as a base I know it was one of the later games to use the Build engine and it certainly seems advanced.

Extract this package to your folder to use Jimmys widescreen weapons from Redux. It is included with EDuke32 synthesis builds. For those of you unfamiliar with BuildGDX, it is the most popular source port for Blood. 1 Posted - 09:56 PM I thought Id make a new thread instead of just posting in the main EDuke32 thread. As of the v1.09 release of BuildGDX, the source port now supports Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is a port of Shadow Warrior and also includes the. It combines EDuke32, PCExhumed, NBlood, and RedNukem in a single package, amongst various stability and renderer improvements.

BuildGDX and eDuke32 now have Shadow Warrior support. Introduction: Raze is a source port of EDuke32 implementing several systems as found in the GZDoom source port. It will then detect the files in the current working directory. To use "voidsw", just change to the directory which includes the Shadow Warrior data files and run "voidsw". But as a quick and dirty fix to provide the voidsw executable, this is fine for me. Of course by no means this is perfect, because I guess we should also provide ebuilds for installing the required data files from the shareware / retail version (like duke3d-data / duke3d-demodata). Anyone have a link to the eduke32 version that ran Shadow Warrior :: Shadow Warrior Classic Redux General Discussions I found the old link but its dead. I quickly updated the current eduke32 ebuild to offer the "voidsw" USE flag. In order to provide this new source port. add USE flag "voidsw" to existing package games-fps/eduke32 create a new gentoo package called games-fps/voidsw It can optionally be build with the "sw" target, which results in an additional executable "voidsw" besides "eduke32". Updated ebuild to offer "voidsw" USE flag for optionally building VoidSW source port for Shadow WarriorĮduke32 includes support for the game Shadow Warrior (1997) by providing a source port called VoidSW. Shadow Warrior on the EDuke32 engine (eg. So, if you’ve been drilling through wood, masonry, or metal, and you then find that it won’t go through the wall, then try replacing it with a newer drill bit, which should sort the problem. A dull drill bit will also often struggle to go through wood too. As drywall is quite a soft material, your drill bit will probably still go through that quite easily even if it is dull, but it won’t go through the stud that is behind it. Plaster dulls or blunts drill bits quite quickly, and they can often become dull after making only a few holes. Most drills have a button that you can press to change the direction of the drill, and it’s important to make sure that your drill is in the forward position when trying to drill into drywall as your drill bit will not bite if the drill is rotating in the wrong direction. Stick a vertical strip of painter's tape along the wall and mark them.Drills rotate in a clockwise direction when they are in the forward position and anti-clockwise when they are in the backward (reverse) position. Once you find one stud, you can measure off 16″ or 24″ (standard) along the wall to find the next one. Works on the same premise as the magnet technique, but may get false positives if the device is strong enough to pick up old wiring, cast iron plumbing, or other things behind your walls. When the magnet sticks to the wall, you've found a stud. If you want to try this, tie a piece of dental floss around a common fridge magnet and dangle it against the wall, moving along. I haven't tried this, because our bathroom reno revealed that we have plaster over masonry not lathe. The reason this works on lathe and plaster walls, according to Scott, is because wood lath is nailed to the studs and the magnet will find the nails. Are they about 16" apart? You've found your studs. When you hit a stud you will hear a thunk. Sections without a stud will sound hollow. Turn off the breaker, take off the face plate, nose around with a screwdriver on either side of the box to see if there is wood. Most electrical boxes for outlets and light switches are located on either side of a stud. When the thing is beeping at everything, I turn to these tricks for locating a stud from Scott Sidler at The Craftsman blog. Some stud finders will be useless on plaster walls, as they can't tell wood lathe from wood stud. I have a stud finder that's pretty sophisticated and can locate wood, deep wood, metal, deep metal, and electrical current-and even that's not foolproof. Locating studs behind plaster wallsWhen hanging anything heavy, it's always best to find at least one stud, as no fastener is more fool-proof than screwing directly into a thick piece of wood. The walls in our 1946 home are plaster over masonry. There is a layer of hard plaster, a bit of space, then concrete blocks. I took some photos for future reference, and I'm glad that I did. As homeowners now, when we gut renovated the bathroom down to the studs I had the opportunity to see and understand how our home had been constructed and what is behind our walls. Traditional wood-lath-and-plaster and plaster laid directly over masonry (brick or concrete). I've encountered two types of plaster walls. You want to choose the one that will hold the weight but is the least invasive to your walls. And then there are the different types of fasteners. The most important thing is to use masonry drill bits, so that you don't crumble the plaster. Additionally, plaster is far stronger than wallboard and, if you anchor it right, can hold more weight. Lime plaster gives walls a thickness and luster that is not only visually appealing, it's also healthier (walls can breath and don't get moldy) and more soundproof. Plaster walls only seem like a pain to work with because new construction has made us accustomed to wallboard. Worse, whole shelves could come tumbling down. The first step is to determine exactly what your walls are made of, because the methods that work for drywall are the absolute wrong approach for plaster walls and could damage the plaster. Because rental apartments in NYC had started out as single-family dwellings and over time became subdivided into apartments you could encounter a real mix of wall substrates, from plaster over masonry to wall board, in the same room. Still, I was always cautious about hanging things. Lucky for me, none of our landlords ever stipulated in the lease that we couldn't hang things on the walls or paint the walls bright colors, the way you hear many landlords do. I used toggle bolts to hang these floating shelvesīefore we became homeowners, we lived in many rentals in New York City.

Typical bento from a convenience store Source: autan In addition to carrying many varieties of bentos daily, the contents change with the seasons. Konbinis have large scale operations that deliver fresh bentos (lunch boxes) to stores. When FamilyMart introduces their Chicken Nuggets (fondly called “FamiChiki”) you can expect Lawson will compete with their “TanChiki” ( Tanpaku (protein) Chicken). On top of that, the scale of their operation enables them to strike deals with manufacturers to make “ konbini only” variants of their products that further drive traffic and consumption.įamilyMart's Famichiki, Lawson's TanChiki Source: FamilyMart, Lawson Store managers can order things from a catalog of ~8,000 items that the franchise headquarters constantly updates, and have it delivered the same day.
