![]() You want the code that checks the stack count, not the code that changes it. So you know that code and everything past it is gonna be past the code you care about. There's gonna be code that writes to the address, that's the code that changes the stack count. You need to go through each one and see what's happening. ![]() Hopefully, not too many different things. Then I would "find out what accesses this address" and watch what accesses that stack count when I hit the craft button. Repeat until I found and confirmed the stack count in memory. (this is just an example, I can't remember how it works in this game) If I had to find something like this right now, I would place a stack of ingredients into the crafter, search for the stack count, and then craft something. Some general thoughts: You can find a hack like this by following the cmps and tests and noting where successful crafting threads diverge from unsuccessful ones. More than likely I found the spot where the checking for ingredients began and the hack is to jump past all the checks for the different slots to the code that gets run when a success happens. This hack is not intuitive, just looking at it I can't tell what it's accomplishing. Try asking me about a table I've done more recently. ![]() All I want to know is how it could be done, step by step, or at least a general idea. Hi! Could you please tell me how you managed to find Bypass Ingredient Check on Craft and Transmutation options? I'm new to game hacking and I really want to know how one should approach finding craft-related stuff.

We have to get clear also, Mac hardware is NOT expensive, well, not when compared to any equivalent PC. Now Vista can run on EFI out of the box also (so they say). Now, it would in theory run on an Itanium out of the box… It has been hacked though to use BIOS, it just isn’t all that great. Mac doesn’t run “out of the box” on plain old X86 systems because it is EFI only. sorry for the rant like, pointless Linux User Linux is great but limited in games, is querky and for techies only. Windows is great (yet a bit expensive, but not proprietary) (try Ubuntu! I gave to to my grandad and he say’s its easier than windows!)Īnd Windows is well, Windows, everybody has it and probably >= 90% of software is developed for it, if you wanna play the latest games/apps and you don’t want to use proprietary hardware then you need this OS. It has a large selection of medium-high quality games, and can run alot of windows games with the use of wine/cedega, however is traditionally not suitable for 90% of Desktop users due to its technical nature, and is also a bit querky in places, probably due to the fact that alot of the code is written in peoples spare time. Linux is absolutely amazing has all the gui features of mac, and has so many cool things you can do i cant mention them now, is completely free, will run (or can be made to run) on nearly any hardware. For which you can only buy a limited selection of overly priced software, most (or all) of which is available on the other two OS’s (read win/*nix) anyway. Correct me if I’m wrong but OSX is just an overly expensive OS that forces you to use overly expensive proprietary apple branded hardware. Im not a fan of Mac, I personally believe that apple is even more evil than Microsoft. Mac need some kudos for the state of their OS, it has pioneered some brilliant new aspects to the user interface that windows is failing keep pace with. Then open more applications at once without any delays. ![]() You will be pleasantly surprised at the amount of free memory you will get after running iFreeMem. iFreeMem optimise feature is a quick and easy alternative to either a reboot or RAM upgrade to get defragmented free memory. If you are in the middle of using an application and the system becomes unresponsive for several seconds it could be the memory manager recovering cache memory for your application. Maximum free memory can sometimes be better than half your memory filled with old cached files. The cache is good, but it can become cluttered with files you don’t even need cached anymore that take up precious RAM. ![]() IFreeMem free’s memory from the in-memory cache that accumulates with every file or application read from hard-disk. This one is tagged as v2.0 but on publishers web page newest is v2.5, CFF explained something about that in NFO, so make sure to read it. Its intuitive GUI should make it useable for any type of user so no specific skills are required to take advantage of this great tool.Activata iFreeMem as will help you to free up your memory and run apps smoothly and faster on your Mac. It stays in your tray where you can access its settings at any time and will remember your favorite settings for an optimal ease-of-use. Minimem runs in the background and is fully non-intrusive. This then optimizes your applications which can load those pages back whenever they need, and makes your overall system perform much better whenever it is memory limited. It does so at regular intervals which can be user-defined as well and every 30s by default, though uses an advanced pooling mechanism to ensure the CPU usage of Minimem remains low at all times. It optimizes memory by removing as many non-necessary memory pages as possible from the selected processes. Unlike other memory optimization tools, it gives you full control over what applications you want to optimize, when and how often, as well as the possibility to only optimize memory when required and relevant. It runs in the background and can be set up to optimize as many proceses as youd like, using a very intuitive graphical interface. Initially developed for Firefox only, Minimem now can reduce the memory footprint of any application. ![]() (If Angela knows Sweets is leaving because of Pelant, Booth certainly does.)Īh…Angela. There’s a catch in his voice there that reveals both his affection for Sweets, and perhaps his belief that things are continuing to fall apart, compliments of Pelant. No.’ in response to Sweets telling him he’d left an envelope for him. My heart breaks a little for Booth when he says, ‘No. I love all those moments (hey, I have a degree in sarcasm, too) though I think my favorite one is probably the one between Booth and Sweets. Cam and Sweets both have major arcs beginning (always a good thing in my book) and that leads to an embarrassment of riches in terms of character moments: (Pause for giggle at memory of Booth trying to be officious FBI guy while waddling.)īeyond the Booth and Brennan story, though, this is what I consider a Team Episode, where we see bonds between these people pretty much everywhere we look. Brennan is trusting Booth in the blind run through the obstacle course in the fat suit, we see how much Booth trusts Brennan. Better than many couples, as a matter of fact. Her reference to not being mad at Mars for something she doesn’t understand fits with this, I think.)īut what’s the takeaway from the retreat? That even when things are less than ideal between them, they’re good together. I don’t think she’s winging that decision – I think it’s completely conscious, based on logic, reason, and what she knows about Booth. (One of the things I found interesting is that Guru Guy tells her she uses her head too much – a common opinion about her – but right now, I think her choice to trust Booth is as much based on reason as heart. I love the idea that she’s making a decision to trust him despite the secret he’s keeping from her. Although I don’t want it to go on for long, I love where things are. It’s an interesting story to tell in terms of Booth and Brennan. No offense toward Wrong Naked Guy, because he was cute and everything, but dear Hart and Stephen…when you have a chance to give us naked Booth, please do so, okay?) (With the caveat that the wrong guy was naked. And Booth and the guys in their sweat lodge, discussing sports instead of relationships? Stereotypes exist for a reason, and that was played beautifully. Brennan’s calling the ancestors/seizure (hah!) in the sweat lodge shot to the top of my list of favorite funny Brennan moments. The one exception has always been Double Trouble in the Panhandle, though I’m not really sure why I love it.īut I straight-up loved this episode. I find the overacting on Brennan’s part painful to watch, and as a general rule, I like Booth and Brennan best when they’re being Booth and Brennan.

Rail Īctivator rails can be used to affect minecarts that travel over them.Īctivation An activator rail is a redstone mechanism and can be activated by: It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands. Other configurations can be created by placing and removing various rails. If a rail it would align with is one block up, an activator rail slants upward toward it (with multiple options to slant upward to, an activator rail "prefers", in order: west, east, south, and north). If there are no adjacent rails, an activator rail aligns itself in the north-south direction (but if a rail is later placed to the east or west, the activator rail re-orients itself in the east-west direction even if it is already connected to another rail to the north or south). In Bedrock Edition: If there are two adjacent rails on non-opposite sides, or three or more adjacent rails, an activator rail aligns itself in the east-west direction. If a rail it would align with is one block up, an activator rail slants upward toward it (with multiple options to slant upward to, an activator rail "prefers" west or south). If an existing activator rail is connected to only one other rail or none at all, and a new rail is placed perpendicular to the activator rail, then the activator rail aligns itself in the east-west direction (if it isn't already facing that way). ![]() If there are two adjacent rails on non-opposite sides, or three or more adjacent rails, or no adjacent rails at all, an activator rail aligns itself in the direction the player is facing. The behaviors in Java and Bedrock editions diverge in the following ways. When placed, an activator rail configures itself to line up with any adjacent rails (including detector rails, powered rails, and other activator rails), as well as adjacent rails one block up. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach an activator rail to the side of the fence causes the activator rail to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead. the top of any transparent block (glass, etc.)Īn activator rail cannot be attached to the side or bottom of any block, but attempting to make such an attachment may cause the activator rail to attach to the top of a block under the destination space.the top of a hopper, upside-down slab, or upside-down stairs. ![]()
![]() ![]() If you didn’t pencil in all the possible candidates, the naked nine would be less obvious. All the other nines may be crossed off leaving a 6,8 pair, 6,7 pair, a single 7, and a 4,6,8 triple. In the example to the left, you can see the naked single is the nine. If there is one cell that contains a single candidate, then that candidate is the solution for that cell. If there aren’t any other candidates showing, Sudoku players call this a naked single.Įvery naked single allows us to safely eliminate that number from all other cells in the row, column, and region that the naked single lies in. Sudoku Tips -Naked Single CandidatesĮvery Sudoku puzzle will have cells that have only one possible candidate. ![]() In these cases use my free blank grid with candidates worksheet. The paper version, board games, and handhelds usually lack this capability. Some online puzzles allow you to pencil in your candidates. Some Sudoku computer programs have the option to show you all the possible candidates. This leads me to my first of several Sudoku tips and that is pencil in all the possible candidates for each cell, row, column, and region. I prefer to use the process of elimination to solve Sudoku. You can use logic retaining in your memory the possible candidates for each cell, row, column, and region or you can write the candidates down. There are two ways to approach the Sudoku Solving process. To solve the hardest puzzles and games, use advanced strategies such as X-Wing, XY-Wing, and Swordfish. Apply these Sudoku tips and you will solve most Sudoku puzzles. It may seem impossible to you to solve anything but the most simple Sudoku puzzles. When you begin to play Sudoku, you probably will have moments when you reach a roadblock. ![]() It has a sturdy aluminum body that is unseen in the budget range. If you want to take your tone up or down, and not anything else this might do plenty of justice for you. Like I said it doesn’t sound as good as the more premium options in the market and on this list, but it really delivers what it promises. While it might not sound as good as the more premium models it is still pretty impressive. This pedal is definitely a bargain, for the price that it comes at it is definitely a superb pedal that will satisfy your needs, especially if you are a beginner. If you want one of the cheapest options when it comes to octave pedals but you want performance as well you should take a look at the Donner Digital Octave. Texture, grain and character, an absolute beast despite its price. The sound of the JOYO JF-12 Voodoo Octava is pretty much excellent and the fuzz effects make it perfect at delivering some funky and thick sounds. The warmth and the ambiance in the sound definitely make it worthwhile. I should mention that this guitar octave pedal has a true bypass circuit, and on top of that it delivers an analog vibe to it despite being a digital model. The JOYO JF-12 Voodoo Octava has definitely a great build quality, that will definitely be capable of delivering a lot of durability on the stage, it can definitely take on a few years of touring before it gives up. ![]() JOYO delivers a lot of pedals some better than the others, but if you are searching for versatility in them you should definitely take a loot this one. While it doesn’t clean up the sound properly and it is not the most responsive pedal compared to the most but it is still pretty good for the price that it comes at. This guitar octave pedal delivers excellent sound options, it also has a versatile fuzz that delivers a great performance and the lower octave performance. Next up we have a super affordable octave pedal, the JOYO JF-12 Voodoo Octava. This pedal might not cost much and might not look like much but it is definitely on the list for consideration, top-notch. It has two Octave knobs that allow you to adjust it properly. I should also mention that this pedal has a dry knob for the dry signal volume. The polyphonic octave is honestly one of my favorites. This polyphonic octave can definitely deliver a great octave functionality, altering the sound perfectly without any problem. IT is definitely extremely durable and will take a lot of beating on stage and in the studio. This pedal is extremely well made, with its full metal body. No need for a complication, just performance, and reliability. This pedal is the definite best if you want a cheap octaver with simple features but that will provide you tons of performance. We are going to start off this list with a pretty affordable model, the AROMA Octpus. Let’s help you get that amazing octave effect! 5. These are all fail-safe choices that will deliver you performance, accuracy, speed and excellent value for your money. I have picked these as a result of countless hours of research, personal experience, vigorous testing, expert consultation, popularity and buyer feedback.

Are there different ways to use an octave pedal?įirst up we are going to speak about the top picks.Where should the octave pedal be placed?.Things to Know Before Buying an Octave Pedal.Without further ado, let’s get on with it. ![]() I have written this guide based on my years of experience playing and teaching guitar, countless hours of research, expert consultation and testing. Also, this is the reason I have written this guide, so you can make a better and more informed decision that will fit your needs when it comes to octave pedals. I would suggest you do some research before committing to one. For example, do you want one that can take your tone down, or up, or maybe both, do you want something else in the mix as well. However, when it comes to octave pedals, which are the most popular in the market, there is plenty to choose from. In this article, we are going to take a look at the best octave pedals that you can get your hands on and get that great octave effect. However, one of the most essential pedals you can buy is an octave pedal that will enhance your sound and open up new tonalities and ranges that you can explore and experiment with. You should know that pedals come in a wide range of selections you can choose from, depending on the sound you want to recreate. In your journey at exploring the guitar and its sounds, you will find out that you can expand the whole sound range by just investing in a nice pedal.

Extreme (perfect, maximum possible and zero, minimum possible) scores are included in the computation, but missing observations are omitted pairwise. This is a point-biserial correlation for dichotomies, or a point-polyserial correlation for polytomies. This is the Pearson product-moment correlation between the scored responses (dichotomies and polytomies) and the "rest scores", the corresponding total (marginal) scores excluding the scored responses to be correlated. Computes the point-biserial or point-polyserial correlation coefficients, r pbis, for persons and items. Point-biserial (or point-polyserial) correlation excluding the current observation from the raw score. Point-Biserial and Point-Measure Correlations The Biserial correlation can be computed from the point-biserial. If you wish to compute other correlations, the required data are in XFILE= IPMATRIX=, IFILE= or PFILE=. In Rasch analysis, we are chiefly concerned about the predictability of the data when assessing item quality, so we examine the predictability directly using the mean-square statistics, rather than indirectly through the correlations.Īll correlations are computed as Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. targeting of the item on the person sample Item correlations are difficult to interpret because they are influenced by:Ģ. The "expected correlation" indicates when conventional rules such as eliminate items with point-biserials less than 0.2 are misleading. In general, correlations are much too difficult to interpret, so we switch over to using mean-squares. If the observed correlation is negative, something may have gone wrong (MCQ miskey, reversed survey item, etc.) To begin, we collect these data from a group of people.In Rasch analysis, we use item correlations as an immediate check that the response-level scoring makes sense. In this example, we are interested in the relationship between height and gender. And if you have at least one ordinal variable, you should use Spearman’s Rho or Kendall’s Tau instead. If you have two continuous variables, you should use Pearson Correlation. Some good examples of binary variables include smoker(yes/no), sex(male/female) or any True/False or 0/1 variable. Some good examples of continuous variables include age, weight, height, test scores, survey scores, yearly salary, etc.īinary means that your variable is a category with only two possible values. Continuous means that the variable can take on any reasonable value. Other types of analyses include testing for a difference between two variables or predicting one variable using another variable (prediction).įor this test, you should have one continuous and one binary variable. You are looking for a statistical test to look at how two variables are related. You should use Point-Biserial Correlation in the following scenario:ġ)You want to know the relationship between two variablesĢ)Your variables of interest include one continuous and one binary variable The assumptions for Point-Biserial correlation include: Assumptions mean that your data must satisfy certain properties in order for statistical method results to be accurate. Alternately, you could use a point-biserial correlation to determine whether there is an association between cholesterol concentration, measured in mmol/L, and smoking status (i.e., your continuous variable would be “cholesterol concentration”, a marker of heart disease, and your dichotomous variable would be “smoking status”, which has two categories: “smoker” and “non-smoker”).ĪSSUMPTIONS OF POINT BISERIAL CORRELATIONĮvery statistical method has assumptions. It is a special case of the Pearson’s product-moment correlation, which is applied when you have two continuous variables, whereas in this case one of the variables is measured on a dichotomous scale.įor example, you could use a point-biserial correlation to determine whether there is an association between salaries, measured in US dollars, and gender (i.e., your continuous variable would be “salary” and your dichotomous variable would be “gender”, which has two categories: “males” and “females”). A point-biserial correlation is used to measure the strength and direction of the association that exists between one continuous variable and one dichotomous variable. |
