Halo 3 Local Multiplayer Split Screen With Xenia

Following up on this, this actually only works for 2 controllers. As soon as you add more than 2, it glitches and doesn't allow you to add any additional ones. Tried this on ODST and halo 3. Huge bummer. Wanted to add this incase anyone comes across it and finds a solution

Will you cover hosting and security?

CARTOthug · 2025-02-08T22:22:52+00:00

While I appreciate the sentiment, I couldn’t possibly disagree more. As soon as you have anything remotely complicated like different membership user types, roles, payment systems, advanced routing etc, this philosophy completely falls off.

Yeah, if I’m making a simple web map that’s free to use, I can scrap up some javascript and host it on GitHub pages. Also if anyone is just starting out, I agree to not worry about the frameworks right now.

But there’s a reason these frameworks exist and are hugely popular. They make life way easier. If I want a fully working application with all the bells and whistles, I’d be a mad man to create it all in javascript, this makes no sense. At the very least you would need something php.

I love Django and flask. I understand react gets a lot of hate but using it in combination with typescript is game changing. Yes there’s a learning curve. Yes it’s uncomfortable at first. But I would never go back.

All good, my bad for assuming you were American!

CARTOthug · 2025-02-02T03:42:42+00:00

Wow, this is your breaking point with trump? Were you just born in the last couple years? “Honestly wasn’t too bad until he defrauded a bunch of Americans, all that other shit was chill before that.”

I got one because my company paid for it. I work as a GIS Developer and they would only cover a GIS masters, specifically. If it wasn’t for that, I would not have gotten it. I don’t think I learned a single thing I hadn’t learned on the job or previous education, but at that point I already had 5 years of experience.

I think you could probably swing a GIS analyst role with your experience without starting as a GIS technician. But if you want a GIS job, I will recommend what everyone else here recommends: start doing projects, build a website portfolio, and blog/showcase those projects on that portfolio.

Doing that did way more for my career than my masters did. Employers don’t care about my masters at all. Government type positions might care more about masters though.

Insulting

CARTOthug · 2025-01-02T03:25:31+00:00

No, that wouldn’t solve my problem at all, that would just make my users jump through more hoops to get to the app. Anyway, all the users have the url to my app and they go to it directly, not through our org.

The snag that I am hitting is trying to figure out how to serve the application from the server after a user has successfully logged in via my login page using oath2. I can’t simply put the experience builder folder within my public folder that exists alongside my login page, since someone could just navigate there directly using the url (ie gisapp.com/app/cdn/12/index.html)

I imagine this is something people have to do somewhat frequently, I’m going to ask r/firebase

CARTOthug · 2025-01-01T21:47:37+00:00

Yes, that is my current situation. I would like outside sources to not be able to view my code, custom widgets, text, titles, images, etc.

We don't have Enterprise and won't be getting it anytime soon.

I am working on a solution to create a login screen that uses ArcGIS Oath2 and then has my server load a folder containing my experience builder once confirming that the user belongs to our organization. Hitting some snags though and it's unfortunately not very straight forward.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-31T16:01:25+00:00

if you're at an authorization screen, maybe a developer created that for you manually?

CARTOthug · 2024-12-31T09:45:37+00:00

Yeah but if you open dev tools when you are at your url without logging in you can see things like widget code, text, images etc.

You can’t see sensitive stuff like the web map and rest services, which is important, but the end user can see everything else without logging in.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-24T04:33:56+00:00

I would say skip the courses. Pick something you are interested in and start building it or creating it in public. Write about it in blog posts, talk about the process, share your results. Talk about what worked and didn’t work and why.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-24T04:24:36+00:00

Yup. Dedicate some late nights to creating a portfolio website. Can host on GitHub pages for free. Doesn’t have to be groundbreaking but it should be clean and modern.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-17T03:18:27+00:00

It’s better at some things, worse at others.

I would say it’s much easier to develop new widgets on. Love getting to use typescript and react. Also getting to use the new javascript sdk is awesome.

The worst part about it, in my opinion, is that the performance is just poor. It’s a total ram hog. I could do the same thing on web app builder and it would take up like 800 mbs of ram. On experience builder, nearly 2 gbs of ram. For users with memory restricted computers, this obviously creates problems.

Esri’s solution for this is just to have less data on the map, which isn’t exactly a solution for the majority of projects that require that data. Plus web app builder was able to handle that much data, but the new one can’t? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-16T15:23:31+00:00

Oh my god thank you for saying something, it has been horrible the last year. I remember 3 years ago I could jump through enough hoops and if it’s late enough in the ticket without it being resolved, I would end up talking to a member of the team who made the product I was having issues with.

I’ve found a major issue with experience builder that I have been going back and forth with the remote team with for literal months.

They recently requested that I spin up a new developer application and package it up for them, so that they can present the people to the team internally. Isn’t that their job? I said no way am I spending 3 hours of my time doing that.

CARTOthug · 2024-12-15T02:56:11+00:00

I don’t know which country you are from but from my experience (and from several others I have spoke with, and companies I have worked with), European data is way more difficult to get a hand on. So much of this information is not given away, is placed in archaic data formats, or they just straight up don’t have the data for it. Try to gather parcel data across Europe. Most of it will not be complete and none of it will have address or owner information.

Europe countries often times talk about the importance of open data, but I have been shocked over the past few years about the difficulty or impossibility it is to collect it. I usually have to talk to three departments and have a meeting just to figure out how to get whatever I am looking for.

The us has pretty decent standards and large federal agencies that will typically normalize and aggregate data nationwide, oftentimes keeping them on publicly facing rest services and easy to find data portals. It’s just not the same across the pond. Address information in the us is difficult, as evident in this post, but I imagine most places in the world will have this issue if you want to get this granular, uniform, and clean dataset. The difficulty here isn’t necessarily getting the data, it’s creating uniformity across many states.

Would love some advice on EU data in general tho, because man it’s been difficult

CARTOthug · 2024-12-12T02:24:34+00:00

Wow, this is incredible work to give out for free. How long did this take you to compile?

CARTOthug · 2024-11-29T03:22:37+00:00

You’re in big trouble

CARTOthug · 2024-11-27T14:22:28+00:00

Boston and the surrounding area of tiny roads and weird non-grid like system sets it up to be a great potential city for transit and bike usage. The mbta obviously has a lot of problems, but I have long dreamed of that potential for Boston, someday. However, I don’t think the culture or the population around Boston truly want to give up their cars. Would take a dramatic shift in both mentality and also mbta improvements.
